Trampolining and tumbling go together hand in hand. Trampolining involves doing all sorts of acrobatic tricks on a trampoline which provides much more height. Tumbling involves doing the same or similar moves on the floor (and with gymnastic spring floors more height can be had). I’ve mentioned this before. When …

Thick Bar Training
Thick Bar Training. If you’re here I’m guessing that you are familiar with thick bars and perhaps even use them. All the old-time lifters used them, often to build a super strong grip. Using their strong hands with a thick bar they could then lift a weight that the average …
30 Day Challenge – Done
The 30 day challenge is over. Just to recap, or for those of you that aren’t aware, this involved two parts. The first was to practice my hand balancing in one form or another every single day. To be honest, in this regard I failed. I missed a couple days …
