Coach Bachmann - Handstands, Flexibility & Calisthenics

Strength development has been well researched, documented and tested. Very little is left to the imagination and generally speaking we know exactly how to go from being weak to being strong. To simplify hard work, nutrition and rest will allow your body to get stronger. Your body neither knows nor cares where the strength stimuli is coming from. It does not matter if you are pushing your body weight, dumbbells or a car. This episode is an exploration of how I've spend my life building strength with calisthenics, gymnastics based and bodyweight only exercises. I discuss how you can build true strength using calisthenics, how to adjust traditional weight lifting protocols to suit your style of training and what kind changes you can make to your training to maximize your gains.Coach Bachmann Social & WebsiteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachbachmannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecoachbachmannPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/CoachBachmann/Website: https://coachbachmann.com

Learn the 7 practical and easy steps to make your flexibility training more efficient!https://courses.coachbachmann.com/make-flexibility-training-12-more-effective/Plenty of research proves over and over again that a strong mind muscle connection and focused training can increase muscle growth and strength gains by up to 12%. Whilst I am lacking precise research, I can guarantee you from personal experience that it is exactly the same with flexibility. Possibly even more so!Often when we think about increasing our range of motion we think of a daily post workout stretch or maybe a quick session before our actual training but improving flexibility is so much more. Increase your useable range of motion will require focus, a precise plan and patience to the point that some might even call you stubborn.Getting the most out of your flexibility training is easier than you might think. Whilst you most likely won't see instant results I challenge you to trust me on this one and invest 3 month of your life. I promise you, the results will leave you stunned!

You can either get strong as a bear, you can perfect your technique or you can create mechanical advantages through flexibility. Just like any door that says pull opens by pushing if you apply enough force or you can theoretically make water boil by rubbing the cub you can also press to handstand without any flexibility.All this is possible. You can do handstands if you are completely stiff but will it be efficient? I think not!
