Today’s focus is MAX Split — not to achieve the split, but to notice where you’re at. Sorry for the late one! This one might feel awkward. That’s okay. This is a safe space. I’ll be honest — as a gymnastics coach, people assume I train splits all the time. I don’t. I focus way more on mobility, not forcing flexibility. Today is just about checking in, not pushing. Pick your level: ✅ Beginner: Split stance or half-split, supported with hands or blocks 🔄 Explorer: Front split with support (bolster, chair, couch, floor) 🔥 Expert: Go to your current max split and breathe ➡️ No forcing. No bouncing. Just breathe and observe. ⏱ 2–5 minutes total is plenty. 🎥 Videos optional. A ✅ is more than enough today. If it feels awkward — you’re doing it right ❄️🔥

Consistency isn’t built on motivation. It’s built by showing up, especially when life gets loud. That’s why this space exists. The Daily Action Log is where small actions compound into real progress, one day at a time. This week is almost Christmas. Schedules are packed. Energy is split. Distractions are everywhere. Which makes this practice more important than ever. You don’t need perfect workouts. You just need to keep moving. 🎄 December Advent Calendar is live Each day brings a different movement challenge: strength, skills, mobility, or play. 🔥 Christmas Push-Up Challenge As a community, we’re working toward 5,000 push-ups by Christmas. Every rep counts. What counts this week? 💪 Strength training for 10–30 minutes? Log it. 🤸 Skill work like handstands, hangs, balance, or flow? Post it. 🧘 Mobility, stretching, walking, recovery, or Advent movement? It all counts. Even 2–5 minutes matters. Especially during busy weeks like this. This week isn’t about intensity. It’s about momentum. Stacking days. Keeping habits alive. Staying connected through the holidays. 👉 How to use this space: - Post what you did today - Include time or reps if you want feedback - Like or comment on others’ posts to build accountability Showing up here builds discipline, not just fitness. 💬 What movement, skill, or Advent challenge did you complete today?

I want to show you something important today. Not a transformation fantasy. Not a highlight reel. Not a “before I was broken, now I’m elite” story. Just real progress. This athlete came in at the start of their 12 week calisthenics journey feeling stuck. Strong enough to train. Motivated enough to start. But unsure if they were actually moving in the right direction. The first few weeks looked simple on paper: • cleaner push ups • better scapula control • showing up even when sessions were short Nothing flashy. But that’s where the change started. Around weeks 4 to 6, things clicked. • movement felt more controlled • strength didn’t feel “forced” anymore • skills stopped feeling random • confidence went up because the structure made sense By the later weeks, the difference wasn’t just strength. It was how they moved. Better tension. Better awareness. Better patience. And that’s what you’ll see in the video above. Not perfection. Progress. That’s the part most people miss. Calisthenics progress doesn’t show up as one big moment. It shows up as fewer mistakes, more control, and way more confidence in your body. If you’re early in your journey and wondering if it’s “working”… this is exactly what it’s supposed to look like. 👉 If you want help structuring your own progression, check out the "Masterclass & Masterbook" in the "Classroom" tab or maybe consider coaching. 💬 When you imagine yourself 12 weeks from now, what would you be most proud to feel stronger or more confident in?

Today’s skill is the Pseudo Planche Lean — how far can you lean with control? This is about position + confidence, not reps. Pick your level: ✅ Beginner: Hands under shoulders, gentle forward lean 🔄 Explorer: Shoulders well past wrists, short controlled holds 🔥 Expert: Max safe lean with clean form (film your angle!) ➡️ Elbows locked, scapula protracted, body tight. ⏱ 2–5 minutes is enough. One or two quality attempts beats grinding. 🎥 Videos encouraged! Side angle clips are 🔥 Post a ✅ or video to lock in Day 10 ❄️🔥

Walking handstands look cool. They look advanced. And they feel like progress. But if your goal is to actually learn a clean, controlled handstand, walking too early can quietly hold you back. Here’s why. A walking handstand is not a balance skill first. It’s mostly a controlled forward fall. If you don’t yet own a stacked line shoulders over wrists ribs tucked glutes engaged walking lets you avoid the hardest part of handstands: 👉 Staying still. Most people who “walk” early are: • arching through the lower back • dumping weight into one shoulder at a time • never truly stacking over their base • building speed instead of control That pattern becomes a habit. And later, when they try to hold a freestanding handstand, they feel strong… but unstable. This shows up as: • constant overbalancing forward • banana shape you can’t fix • shaky holds that fall apart under 5 seconds Walking handstands are awesome later. They build: • shoulder endurance • confidence upside down • directional control But only after you can: • hold a stacked wall handstand • float your feet off the wall without swinging • maintain control for a few seconds in freestanding Think of it like parkour or gymnastics. You don’t run a lache before you can swing with control. You don’t do flips before landing mechanics exist. Same thing here. Build the stillness first. Then add movement. 💬 Do you currently practice walking handstands, or are you still building your base first?
