I’ve been meaning to post something like this for a while now. Of all the Youtube videos I’ve posted, the original Iron Gym video review I posted a year back has been the most popular by far. In an attempt to do more of what works as well as to document some of my workout here’s hopefully part 1 of what might be a series of videos.

Ever since I saw this crazy video:

I’ve been obsessed with front lever pullups. I can’t do one yet, but I’m working up to that. My first goal was to be able to lift myself into that position. I’ve gotten that far and now need to work on holding that position with proper posture. As a martial artist I think it’s important to build core strength. Exercises like these are great for that.

With the P90X all the rage at the Roundarch office, it’s motivated me into a fitness frenzy. However I’m not partaking in that program. I AM interested in developing my core strength and am working towards various skills that require core strength. As such, I’ve been scouring YouTube for examples of the kinds of skills that impress me. Here are a few.

Side Lever Pulls

Planche Pushups

Handstand Pushups

Front Lever Pullups

Parkour Core Conditioning
