I tried on a trampoline for some minor progression. WHat i feel like i'm doing is i plan a foot, dip, then use my back leg to go up, but then just like flip over, without really spinning horizontally.

So i've become very intersted in learning how to complete the Butterfly Kick, then Twist.  I feel it'd very helpful to me.
I have seen many tutorials on the Kick and the Twist.. but i guess i need more detailed feedback and instruction.
I have practiced a little on my kick for progression.  I seem to stay more upright. my legs don't flare out as much. anyone know of any simple small progressions or anythint that'd help? i think i could do it pretty easily, just wanna progress correctly. Any advice would be great, or techniques too. thanks

I am decently experienced in parkour. Good strength base, and have a strong workout regimen.
What are some simple basic, but cool looking movements i should work on. Things like twists, kicks etc. i can front tuck and back tuck.
thanks

here's what worked for me, get a small run up to gain momentum, transfer it by looking upward about 40 degrees. Throw ur hands up that way. and visualize urself jumping up as high as you can, and almost pause after u get up, then tuck tight. should come out better.

YEah they are easy bro. I got a little ahead of myself tho, and jumped to concrete and my technique wasn't fool proof. and broke both my big toes. lol. Biggest thing is a good sticky plant, and jump UP, backflip after is nothing.

That term Muscle Confusion, is it legit? does it work to help you not get bored, never plateau and keep muscles getting stronger?
It's what P90X uses as a big component, as well as non stop workout.

One of my friends who is very into working out and his physique, maybe a little too much. but he recently completed p90x and swears by it. I've read on here that it's a beginner workout and is nothing too special.  I've also read on here that doing things like, cardio, plyo's and other workouts are bad when you do them non stop like p90x instructs.  My friend said pushing muscles to never stop and to complete failure is how they literally and figuratively, get 'ripped'.  He said Toni Horton the creator, is ripped so he knows what he's doing.  He just thinks it's such a special workout and advanced that it can make everyone alot stronger and it's super hard and to go to muscle failure... i disagree,, but i guess i need everyone's more official advice on the matter, maybe Chris and Steve etc. Thanks guys

i Pretty much have to do what they tell me.. my 1st hour i have some flux tho.. but my secondary weights 7th hour isn't strenuous. i talked to my coach, he said he wants really light weights with explosiveness and speed. only on two days as well.

I recently got into a weights class my first hour, Mond, weds, and friday are arms days. And tuesday and Thursday are legs days. I work very hard and drink protein and water after most of em. Then 7th hour , on my Legs days I lift again and do primarily arms, like today I was pretty sore over entire upper body. And hadto lift. We do high rep low weight in 7th hour. Andit gives my legs an extended workout. And my arms don't get breaks Any days. I asked my coach if I could do sprints on those lifting days. Any thots or ideas on wat I could do to not overwork and hurt myself or detrain?

Well.. It's very hard to put my arms out when there's weight on my back... I am talking abt weighted squats and even fr BW squats, puttig my arms out helps only a little.

OK so, part of perfect form for Barbell Normal Squats is putting your weight on your heels correct? and back straight and all.. welll to keep my back straight, i have to go on my toes or pads of feet to break parallel, is this normal or flexibility problem or? thanks

Whats the link for The Starting Strength page, can't find it

Me and my friend are startinga  workout in our school weights class. Each day is followed by protein as well. Goals are basic parkour skills. Increased Vert and Broad by 4 inches and a foot. Upper body strength for handstands and vaults as well as lower body for jumps and flips. endurance as well for longevity. 
Every workout starts with warmup adn ends with cooldown and stretching even tho it may not be mentioned. Sets aren't SET. they are variable and will be changed.
and muscle confusion? not sure about the science on that thanks.

i Stretch each night. and when ilay on my back and pull my knees to my chest, then staighten back out, i get a small painless "pop" or shift in my lower pack. It hapens with doing leg lefts on pull up bar or anysimilar movements. It's been going on for a long time. Causes or anything? thanks

Oh. This is just out of curiosity.  I have my own devised workout for my goals. And have read the sticky. I'm just curious how p90x stacks up to crossfit and others just for general fitness and strength, relatig to parkour.

So how does the famous p90x workout compare to the crossfit wod. Or apk wod?
Any other titled  workout regiments that are much harder than p90x. I've heard it's a beginner workout..

so i should be able to do them on flat ground well? could there be a lack of strength in my legs to do it? tips or training ideas?

it wont' let me add my videos, but i have some on my facebook. Impretty sure my form is okay. and the surface is only a few feet up..

The pain is like, dull achey. Numbing. It's an odd paint. Not sharp. Usually in heels. Tho I land on balls. Widespread over my foot.

So I've been practicing backflips and wallflips lately. I can do them perfectly on a trampoline. Tho when I land on the ground, like from an elevated spot or off a wall my landing always seems very hard, hurting my toes and feet. Is it something I'll have to build up? I am absorbing the fall well with knees and all. And also. I usually land with my back parallel to the ground. As soon as I spot my landing. My torso stops rotating, just my legs then come around. Making for an awkward landing. How can I practice getting able to land straight up. Perpindicular to the ground? I think it's also inhibiting flat ground back flips. Thanks for help.
