3 main reasons why people struggle with pistol squats: poor ankle dorsiflexion (DF), lack of strength, limited pike mobility. If you need some easier, scalable pistol progressions, try: ⠀ ▫️ top left | heel-elevated pistol if you lack ankle DF, gradually use less slope ▫️ top right | pole-assisted pistol if you lack strength, gradually use less upper body assistance ▫️ bottom right | elevated pistol if you lack pike mobility, gradually use less elevation ▫️ bottom left | box pistol if you lack ankle DF, strength, and/or pike mobility, gradually use a shorter box ⠀ 🔗 in bio for new, long-form shrimp/pistol training blog post by @ryanmford 🔫 🦐 ⠀ 🎥 @tlynncarpenter @ryanmford 📍 @apexlouisville @apexsom #parkourstrength #parkouredu

New, long-form shrimp/pistol training blog post by Ryan Ford 🔫 🦐 https://parkouredu.org/shrimp-pistol/?learn=11 If you can’t lift heavy right now due to covid19 closures, loaded shrimp squats are a clever, underrated, and minimalistic way to challenge your legs. They won’t fully replace back squat or deadlift but they’re better than nothing and can be done anywhere. A few variations: ▫️ top left | L2 jumbo shrimp (extra ROM) w/ kettlebell ▫️ top right | L1 goblet shrimp w/ dumbbell ▫️ bottom right | overloaded, eccentric L2 shrimp w/ weight dump at bottom + explode up ▫️ bottom left | L1 shrimp w/ weight vest * or mix/match principles/equipment in other ways that work best for you 🦿 @jaredtavasolian @tlynncarpenter 📍 @apexlouisville @apexsom

Next level air awareness challenge by L1 #parkouredu certified coach @bobreesecookiemonster 👁 ▫️◽️◻️ WATCH MY EYES 👀! This is a full in back out where I look forward during the full. This trick tends to mess with people's minds because we are taught that during a full we need to look over our shoulders. So we get in this habit of practicing a trick a specific way and we start to believe it's the only way. But if we get out of that mindset and have a open mind, you might realize you can look almost any direction during most tricks. And if you practice looking all around during tricks, you can increase your air awareness a tremendous amount! So my challenge for you guys is to get better air awareness by doing this drill: 1. Do a trick that's easy for you to do (on spring floor, grass, trampoline, doesn't matter) 2. Think about what you saw during that flip and why you looked wherever you may have looked 3. Experiment with looking other places (if you get lost or fall, that's okay—get up, try again, and play around until you have gained better air awareness about that trick) 👍” — @bobreesecookiemonster

Climb-Up Blueprint overview
Check out Climb-Up Blueprint (CUB), our new online training program: https://parkouredu.org/course/climb-up-blueprint/?learn=13 As one of parkour’s most unique and utilitarian movements, the climb-up is a must-have skill for anyone interested in functional, obstacle-based training. Extremely relevant to real-world situations, it is a wicked demonstration of both power and agility. Need to quickly ascend a tall wall or fence? You could awkwardly struggle your way up, or you could whip out a perfectly executed climb-up. If time was of the essence and somebody’s survival was at stake, which would you prefer? With proper training and attention to detail, the climb-up is your key to the urban jungle. Owning this technique is the difference between people who need to be saved by Spiderman and people who are capable of saving themselves (and others). Which would you prefer? 🐒 Brandon Halpin | Renae Dambly | Taylor Carpenter | Olof Wood | Nick Ortiz | Kira Nguyen 🎶 By My Side by craves | https://youtu.be/1gpOsC_nJ2I 🎶 Alchimie, pt. 2 by Alvie | https://youtu.be/5Qgo7NWf87A

But Roll: an interactive falling tutorial for beginners
Learn falling fundamentals in our new online training program, The Art of Falling: https://parkouredu.org/course/the-art-of-falling/?learn=13 But roll can be substituted for back roll or half roll in low impact falling scenarios. It can also be executed in 360 degrees around you. * This video is one of 50+ interactive learning tools in The Art of Falling, a comprehensive training program for beginners who want to react competently in all the most common falling scenarios in your sport, discipline, or life in general. It promotes faster progression towards your movement goals, decreases fear, mitigates your risk of injury, lightens the vibe during training, and ensures better results for coaches and businesses involved in sport or movement arts.

It’s never too late to start training, as ParkourEDU L1 certified coach @julie_angel_ph.d explains below 🤙🏽 "Is it too late?" NO "Can I really get stronger at my age?" YES "Are you sure?" YES YES YES ⠀ I get asked this and hear this a lot when talking to friends in their 40s, 50s, and 60s—and from people who attend my workshops. Reserach cofirms it, I see it from many of the people I know and am grateful to spend time with. I also know it from my own experience. Reversing muscle loss doesn't happen overnight. Getting stronger is a process of continuity. It happens when you do resitance strength training. Your body is capable of so many great things! ⠀ This was part of a fun little movement snack at the park filming with Jared last week. No membership required, no equipment needed, just nature’s gym. I love training in trees! :) #parkouredu

Thanks @jenn_pilotti for training with our new Art of Falling program by @amosrendao (link in bio), keep it up 🙌🏽 ▫️◽️◻️ “This falls under the category of “brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?” Ankle circles in multiple positions, idea from the @parkouredu course “The Art of Falling.” My seniors request learning how to fall occasionally. It’s definitely a weak point in my programming because, while I know how to roll, I’m not comfortable teaching it. Listening to people teach concepts I’m familiar with from different disciplines often gives me ideas. Mobile ankles, of course, are helpful for interacting with the ground.” — @jenn_pilotti #parkouredu #artoffalling
