I wanted to find a way where everyone wins. The truth is — the people who bring the most energy into this community raise the bar for everyone. They ask questions. They motivate others. They share their wins and struggles. And that ripple effect makes the whole group better. So here’s what I’m thinking: if you step up as a leader here — posting, commenting, encouraging, and helping others — then I should step up for you too. The community has a leaderboard. Every time you contribute (post, like, reply, or share), you earn points and move up. And every 30 days… the top contributor will earn 1 free month of coaching with me. Runner-ups won’t be left out either — I’ll have special prizes for you too. Simple idea: the more you give, the more you get. Now I’d love to hear from you… 👉 Does this kind of reward system excite you? Would you be motivated to jump in more if free coaching or prizes were on the line?

Most people are afraid of training too much. Burnout. Injury. Overtraining. But here’s the truth: almost nobody is overtraining. Most are under-training, under-recovering, and under-planning. Gymnasts put 5 hours a day, 5 days a week and it takes years to burnout. What holds people back isn’t training too much — it’s not building smart habits. If training and fitness aren’t part of your daily rhythm yet, don’t start with a 2-hour plan. Start with 5 minutes a day. That 5 minutes — push-ups, pull-ups, squats — will do more for consistency than any giant program you can’t stick with. For strength training, the real sweet spot is 24–48 hours between hitting the same muscle group. That’s when you recover, adapt, and come back stronger. And if your goal is a handstand? Spending hours stretching your splits isn’t the fast track. Put that time into drills that build balance, scapula control, and body alignment. 1 minute a day in handstands will get you towards your goal faster than waiting one training a week. Stop worrying about “overtraining.” You’ll know when you’re anywhere near it. Until then, focus on recovery, smart programming, and daily habits. That’s how you unlock your potential. ➡️ Comment “FRAMEWORK” below and I’ll set up a training plan for you with these ideals. 👉 Do you think you’re holding yourself back more from doing too much… or not doing enough?

Most people think the pistol squat is just about leg strength. The honest answer is that it is about Strength. There is a small 10% part that isn’t. So if negatives or assisted feels easy, this might be what you’re missing. Back in my parkour days, I could jump rooftops but still tipped over sideways every time I tried a pistol. The missing piece wasn’t strength—it was balance and control. I needed to lean a little bit more forward and put more weight in my toes then into my heels that seem to work. Here are two other things you can try if mobility or balance might be an issue. 1. Counter Balance Pistols – hold a weight in your hands to help you have your centre or gravity more forward. 2. Heel Assisted Pistols – place something on your heels just like you would use to assist in a squat if ankle mobility is stopping you. Why does this matter long-term? Because there are other factors, besides just Strength that people have to work with. In this case, there’s a little bit of balance, a little bit of mobility and a little bit of control. When trying to figure out, what’s the best way to help it’s stuff to try to find answers as many the answers are to help as many people as possible. As a coach, it’s hard to help every single person with every single solution, this is why talking together helps find the proper answer That’s the shift that makes hybrid calisthenics fun: you stop muscling through and start moving with mastery. 👉 Where do you usually get stuck on pistols—strength, balance, or mobility?
