If your goal is to do an L-sit or simply build a bulletproof core, this exercise is for you. Leg compressions are a star exercise of gymnastics training, along with the hollow body position. As the name suggests, the goal is to build enough strength to compress the body and usually hold this compressed position. This type of core training will carry over your daily life activities, contact sports, yoga, or gymnastics moves like L-sits, straddle sits, and all kinds of leg raises. ☝🏼 Don’t get fooled by how easy it seems though. While it may look like it’s coming straight from your grandmother’s rehab routine, it is actually hard! In fact, it is in my top 3 exercises that are much harder than they look. If this variation is too difficult for you, no problem, try it with one leg instead and alternate. 👇🏼 Full instructions in the comments. ♻️ Repost and help your network learn more too. ~~~ Follow me for everything about home gyms and training.

Barbells for maximum strength and muscle. While many other tools, and even gymnastics, can make you stronger and more muscular, none do so like barbells. The simple reason is external loading exceeds what you can do with body weight, and barbells allow for the maximum amount of external loading. Most guys go to the gym to get lean and strong. Yet, I see men young and old doing the wrong things for these goals. Lack of proper barbell training is one of the things that many males lack in their workout program. There is nothing wrong with using machines, dumbbells, kettlebells, and other tools. Other training methods such as running, gymnastics, etc have a place. In fact, running and gymnastics are the things that I do most. But my base of strength and muscle was built with barbells. At best, I completed a 345 bench, 515 back squat, 585 farmer carry, 215 overhead press, 380 front squat, 265 clean and jerk, as well as many other barbell loaded movements. Today, I still use barbells, even as I focus more on running and gymnastics. Twice per week I go to the gym, and I put +/- 200 pounds overhead, carry 505 or more across the floor, and squat between 300-400. You might say, "Nathan, I do not want to be built like you." Okay, what do you want to be built like. I am 185 pounds, 10 percent body fat, at 44 years old. You do not want that 🤔. Okay, so you want to be built like one of the body builders or physique athletes. Well, most of them prioritize barbell work. Barbells are the way to a stronger and leaner body. #barbell #fitness #gym #crossfit #workout #powerlifting #weightlifting #strength #deadlift #training #squat #bodybuilding #strong #squats #motivation #fit #fitnessmotivation #gymlife #benchpress #homegym #muscle #strengthtraining #fitfam #snatch #lifting #power #wod #health #barbellworkout #gymmotivation

Trying different modalities brings out weakness and helps build greater overall functionality. Currently included in my traing regime are different tools such as kettlebells, barbell, dumbbells, gymnastics rings, weighted vests, balls, and more. Modalities include movements from powerlifting, gymnastics, bodybuilding, running, rowing, cycling, weightlifting, strongman, kettlebell training, and more. At the age of 43, after 22 years of working out, I continue to get fitter. At 23 and at 33, I was not as capable as I am today. Part if this improvement is owed to using different training styles. #fitnessworkout #fitness #fitnesscoach #fitdad #fitnessmotivation #nutrition #food #eating #bulking #nutritionist #weightlifting #weightloss #muscles #gymnastics #gym #fitnesstips #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgoals #fitnessjourney #workout #gym #fitnesslifestyle #kettlebell #fitnesslife #fitnesscoach #personaltrainer #bodybuilding

Want to get FIT and you are over 30? I got you. You may be thinking to yourself I can’t do crazy gymnastics skills, or do sprints like that. That’s what I do to STAY fit. To get there you have to take the road of getting started and building a foundation first. But imagine this… …being able to do sprints and take on any fitness endeavor you want. That’s what I help men do. DM me “health” if you want to get healthy and strong . #nashvilletrainer #personaltrainer #workout #garageworkout #menfitness #mensfatloss

Gymnastics work is often harder than load based movements for a lot of people, in my experience. Very few men and women can do an unassisted dip or pull-up. Virtually none can do handstand push-ups, muscle-ups, levers, etc. In the pursuit of strength, look to different ways to get strong. Not only will you get stronger overall, but you overall fitness will improve.  #gymnastics #fitness #gym #gymnast #crossfit #workout #motivation #training #fitnessmotivation #calisthenics #gymlife #gymmotivation #fit #yoga #handstand #tumbling #strength #bodybuilding #fitfam #gymtime #dance #cheer #cheerleading #fitnessmodel #love #parkour #flip #flips #flexibility #dancer

Winning Olympic medals isn't a miracle! It takes a solid foundation built with hard work, support, opportunity, and the right facilities. It often starts young and often in unexpected places. The video is an interview taken in the run-up to the Olympics where some of The Little Gym International employees were interviewed about TLG's impact on gymnastics. But here's the thing: it's not just about gymnastics. It's about creating a culture that supports and encourages young athletes from when they're young. The more we invest in these programs, the more we build a generation ready to take on the world, not just in sports but in life. The Little Gym India #Olympics #YouthDevelopment #Gymnastics
