Tips to get you stronger, faster and unlock bodyweight skills

The reason so many people try to claim that walking is superior for fat loss is because so many people are incredibly unfit The premise with this claim is that 1/ Walking keeps your HR low so you burn more fat than carbs (aerobic vs anaerobic energy system) 2/ Running or HIIT causes hunger spikes and that you actually burn way less kcals than you’d eat after such efforts Instead of claiming that 1 modality is better than the other, the real goal should be to get people to move more during the day so they increase their total daily energy expenditure (and increase their muscle mass) If they enjoy walking, let them walk If they enjoy running, let them run If they enjoy playing a sport, let them play a sport But these dogmatic is what keep people stuck in their fitness journey

Still one of my favourite core exercises Copenhagen Plank Raises Make them easier by performing just a static hold or place your knee on the bench Make them harder by placing your foot higher so you have the reach deeper or add a weight to your side They target your obliques, adductors and you get some lateral spine movement as well Almost everyone would benefit from these

Just do the hard thing 15km straight uphill Since moving to Medellin I’ve wanted to run this route, Las Palmas, but due to travel and injury it hadn’t happened yet So when someone asked me the other day I randomly yes not really knowing what to actually expect Everyone said to approach it with respect and to start slower than I’d like Glad to say I listened Running uphill is such a different thing. Especially when there’s no flat or downhill part at all. Straight up elevation for almost 2 hours. Legs and lungs felt ok but yet HR shoots up almost immediately Time to focus on recovery and eat lots of food now

Sometimes people tell me pull-ups are easy for me because I only weigh 145lbs So then I attach 50lbs to my body to see how it feels being 195lbs and still do pull-ups I also need a decent weight belt again

Pull-ups are a full body exercise When performed correctly everything from your grip, arms, shoulders, lats, core, glutes and quads should be active There’s no reason to rush them Focus on full control throughout the whole movement to maximise your results

Hanging leg raises are one of my favourite exercises to build core strength But if you can’t hang or are building up to the hanging variation You can do lying leg raises where you anchor your hands behind your (with straight arms) below heavy dumbbells for example The idea is to press up against the dumbbells with your hands while keeping your (lower) back flat on the ground at all time Your feet don’t touch the ground between reps Perform slow and controlled If straight legs are too hard tuck your knees to your chest 2-3 sets to failure

I’m not exaggerating when I say that spending 5 minutes warming up my shoulders before push or pull sessions with a variation of this routine saved me from any shoulder injuries for the past 10+ years

One of the best ways to increase your pull-ups Pyramid sets You start with 2 reps and add 2 reps on the next set until you can’t complete an unbroken set anymore Then go you back down again It looks like this for example : 2-4-6-8-6-4-2 Rest 40-60s between sets

When it comes to core development the dragon flag and its variations are still so massively underrated It was popularised by Bruce Lee and with good reason Some of the benefits: - Anti-extension for deep core stability - Engages lats, glutes, hip flexors, shoulders, and triceps -Improved body control, balance, and overall athletic performance And it carries over to skills like front levers Some progressions: - Hollow Body Hold - Tucked Negatives - Tucked Dragon Flags - Straddle variations - Single leg variation You can do these as sets x holds or as repetitions

Ring muscle-ups are a beautiful blend of strength and flexibility While you can be brutally strong in pull-ups and dips, you still need to understand the transition part which is the hardest part for most people You need to develop the false grip, learn how to transition from a pull to a push movement and what it feels like to shift your bodyweight to accommodate that transition
