The feeling of when you first started training.
« on: May 30, 2011, 09:36:41 AM »
Does everyone remember their first time training? First time doing vaults, first time precisioning, first time rolling, first time experimenting with flow and the obstacles around them. I do. There was no other feeling like it. Spending hours upon hours at a single training spot...connecting new moves...figuring out different ways to do those moves. Now after a year of training...I don't have that feeling anymore. I think what I'm trying to say is that we all need to just experiment...have fun. You know?

I was just training this week with Stevie Leifheit, and we penguin-slid across a table into a roll. Stupidest looking thing ever; but it was totally worth it. Just have fun. lol

But on the note of having that first-time (lol) feeling: I really only experience that when I go to a reallllly good training area. It's difficult to get that feeling with movement alone. :P

The feeling of the rest days from the time I started training, I remember, it was just ridiculous amount of pain. (My joints where not accustomed to anything like parkour, only accustomed to normal lifting movements.)

Dude, those penguin slides were so legit! I had so much fun training with you :)


He is right though, try and go out and just have fun! Stop worrying about progression for a little while and just have fun.

Weight training alongside parkour always benefits, it never takes away.
