Forearm Training. Your forearms are such an important factor for strength. I didn’t start really focusing on my forearms until I had surgery on my wrist and had to learn how to increase my strength as much as possible to overcome the injury. Start adding these into your training 💪 You won’t regret it! 🙌 #strength

How to Get a Stronger Grip! In this video, I talk about how to get a stronger grip. I share that when I first started measuring my grip strength, I was stuck around 170-180 pounds (80 kg). I was training my forearm flexors, thinking that would increase my grip strength, but that didn't really work. It wasn't until I started training two specific areas that dramatically increased my grip strength to over 100 kg in just a matter of months. The first area is the belly of your thumb, which is a mix of smaller muscles that move your thumb. The stronger your thumb, the more you can squeeze with it, and the thumb belly creates the base of our grip. The second area is a wrist extensor - having slight radial deviation and extension at the same time. I share a couple of exercises using a kettlebell to train these two areas, and I hope it helps improve your grip strength as well.

Become More Powerful on the Bar using this Grip! 💪

Stronger Hands 💪 Here’s how to get them.

The Silent Kip 🤫 Fundamental strength method for Pull Power!

Muscle Up Tips! The first phase is where people struggle most because they don’t know how to generate momentum (which is okay when you’re learning) to get in top of the bar. They wind up chicken winging or over compensating elsewhere to make it work. This trick helps you learn how to properly engage your core and legs to assist your arms so you’ll wind up flying higher than you first thought possible. Hope this helps!

Tendon Strength. It’s not really a secret. It’s just not well known. Rock Climbers are some of the strongest people on the planet. There’s many reasons why they are so strong but undoubtedly, tendons play a HUGE role in their strength. I mean I can speak for myself because I’ve been Rock Climbing for 15 years and did all of my studies on Hand Strength / Strength Training in school. It’s plain and simple, stronger tendons = more strength. #Fitness #exercise #climbing #strength #strengthtraining #athlete #calisthenics #gymtips

5 Steps to Muscle Up! It’s a simple process that’s sometimes over complicated. Two VERY helpful training methods to help with Muscle Up Power are Weighted Pull Ups and Ab Strap workouts (both Programs on my app - Link in Bio 😉🙌) The hardest part is timing the kip and pull at the same time. Most people overcompensate by chicken winging WHICH I RECOMMEND DON’T CHICKEN WING, I know people that are very good at Muscle Ups now but STILL have a shoulder / pull imbalance because of Chicken Wing Habits… So don’t Chicken Wing unless it’s covered in BBQ sauce… Hope this helps! #Fitness #exercise #athlete #muscleup #motivation #strength #calisthenics #workout #climbing #gymtips

Pull Power for Pull Ups!

Great superset while traveling. Hotel Gyms usually don’t have this many dumbbell weights!

The Strongest Grip on the Bar! It’s a bit of a pain…. Literally to get used to this grip BUT if you train your forearms and skin long enough this will be one of the best investments of time you can make to get stronger! Hope it helps! #Fitness #exercise #athlete #gripstrength #calisthenics #workouttips #strength

One Arm Pull Up Tips. Being accustomed to a stable body position when we have 2 arms on the bar can be a huge factor that holds you back from achieving a 1 arm Pull Up. In conjunction with stability, two arm pull ups and the position you are in when facing forward limits training the brachialis, serratus anterior and obliques, which are a lot more active when doing one arm Pull Ups. Hope this helps 💪 Link in bio for programs. #Fitness #exercise #pullups #calisthenics #athlete

#ad Ab Strap Exercises. This is probably the most slept on workout tool. I’ve been using Ab Straps for over 15 years and I know for a fact they are the reason I can do so many pull ups, front levers and even one arm pull ups. The trick is in the lat and core connection. When used correctly, Ab Straps can unlock your strength potential. Full Ab Strap Programs - link in bio 💪 Or just use these 5 exercises! #Fitness #exercise #abs
