We only get one body.
Those who have gone through serious injuries know this. Many athletes have injuries that change their bodies for the rest of their lives.
On one hand, we accept this as part of pushing our bodies to the limit.
But in the adrenaline-fueled, warrior culture of modern fitness, we often take it too far.
I've seen athletic careers come to a halt over torn bicep tendons, labrums and rotator cuffs.
We want to take our bodies to the limit, and acknowledge the risks.
But getting the most out of our bodies isn't a flash that lasts a couple years.
It's training in a way that allows us to compete for a long time.
The bigger the goal, the longer it takes to reach it.
If we're in such a rush to get our first muscle up, we can forget that the long term goal is to do big sets.
This is one of the reasons I think skill drills are so popular. They tell us we're just one hack, tip or trick away from immediate gratification.
Nobody wants to hear that what really stands between them and the Rx movements is a couple years of patient, consistent work.
Most will settle for the immediate gratification, but for those who really want to chase big goals, the patience and consistency comes naturally.
As I put together this training, these two themes stick out: respecting the body and honoring standards.
While it may be countercultural, this system has worked well for myself and my athletes, probably because it's influenced by how gymnasts train.
For most athletes, it means going back to basics.
- Gymnastic Strength - are you strong enough to make this movement easy?
- Movement Efficiency - could you use less energy per rep?
- Volume - can you handle the number of reps?
- Density - can you handle the set sizes?
- Intensity - can you handle the set sizes while breathing hard?
Compared to metcons (step 5), training in this system is often less entertaining, and takes more patience.
But for those with big long term goals, this system just makes sense.
I'm excited to share it with you this Thursday.
I hope you'll join me and the 50+ coaches and athletes seeking gymnastics mastery.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
