Youโ€™re no longer looking for exercise.

Youโ€™re looking for mastery.

And thatโ€™s a completely different stage of your training journey.

Every program we run across the year builds toward something.

Elevate is the first checkpoint - 10 weeks of skills focused training.

Games is the second - 10 weeks of strength focussed training.

The rest of of the year prepares you for this.. because these are the 2 events where you see exactly how far youโ€™ve come.

And these girls are killing it.

Female bodyweight strength progressions are incredibly nuanced.

โ†’ You canโ€™t just add a band as a form of regression
โ†’ You canโ€™t modify a movement just so itโ€™s accessible
โ†’ Every movement must have a development intention behind it

Thatโ€™s what the Bodyweight Series workshops are built around.

If youโ€™re a coach who is struggling to develop your Female Bodyweight Athletes in these areas:

1. Handbalancing
2. Pull ups & Muscle ups
3. Levers & Statics
4. Mobility

Bodyweight Series: Coach Edition is for you.

Starting 21 June. Link in bio.

Part 2:

Your plateau has nothing to do with how hard youโ€™re training. Female athletes are the most under programmed population in bodyweight strength training and your progress is paying the price for it.

Handstand scorpion push up is its own movement that happens to be more accessible because the chest position reduces load compared to a standard HSPU. Different stimulus, different skill and worth training in its own right.โฃ

In any concentric movement, your athlete isnโ€™t equally strong throughout the whole range. There are sticking points. There are points where theyโ€™re stronger and moments where theyโ€™re weaker. Your job as a spotter isnโ€™t to just help them stay up but also to determine at which point to assist more.โฃ
โฃ
Thatโ€™s incorporating an external accommodating resistance - this is where you adjust how much assistance is given based on where they are in the rep. And the only way to do this well is through feel - where you sense the balance, effort and the moment you need to step in.โฃ

Its a two way signal where the athlete builds trust through the confidence of your assist - The contact has to be steady enough that they forget itโ€™s there.โฃ
Spotting is a skill. Itโ€™s actually one of the more nuanced things you can learn to do and when you get good at it, it changes how much you can teach someone in a single session.
