Open Gym!
I brought along someone who wants to learn, taught them the basic vaults. I practiced my rolls, they still arent right!!!

I played with it as much as i could too! so i dont know how i could still be doing something wrong. I really think its my bone structure..
What if I can't do Parkour?!

lol, maybe...maybe your body isn't round enough. If it's too erect (lol) you'll be slamming your hip.
I'm boney, and I only got a truly smooth roll once or twice. the other times i have to hit my spine, lightly or painfully. So don't give up bro

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #62 on:** November 21, 2009, 08:53:26 AM »

Idk, im not going to give up.. im just really discouraged..

Hazim Salem · « **Reply #63 on:** November 21, 2009, 09:11:31 AM »

It's just a day. Happened to me lots o' times.

Rest day. Did some Jump-Rope.. meh

11/22/09
Rest day. Jump Rope, 10 push-ups, some stretching..
Meh.

I am really discouraged. Its ridiculous. My roll wont work. It just doesnt. I probably wont be able to do Parkour because of it. This sucks.

Hazim Salem · « **Reply #65 on:** November 23, 2009, 06:07:51 AM »

Well if you really can't get your roll, discard it for now. Work on your vaults and flow. Maybe one day you'll just try it, and it will work.
TIP: Try rolling with your left foot a little behind (if you use right shoulder), like a fighting stance, and roll on that. Works for me.

Today was sweet, did 40 pushups for a free National Guard Tshirt (i already got my Marines water bottle for 10 pull-ups a few weeks ago)
Then i did 60 pushups when i got home just to see how many i could do.
100 pushups today total.

Then later on when i actually did my workout:
Jump rope(~2 minutes) i got it going pretty fast too

Some arm stretches..
Tucked L-Sit (Failed like 3 times)
Tucked L-Sit (15s)
Squats (30)

Hmm, it just happens sometimes. However there are some things you can try, from simply thinking happy thoughts to looking into vitamin D and it's affects on the brain and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/10/a-closer-look-at-vitamin-d/

Now I'm not saying Vitamin D WILL help with your mood, but it's definitely a possibility you could look into. It also has a myriad of other benefits that are fantastic aside from any mental effects.

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #69 on:** November 30, 2009, 04:56:16 AM »

i would like a one-a-day vitamin d supplement for that? idk, i think it wouldnt hurt.. my diet hasnt been great lately because of the holidays ans such.. $:-\$ oh well.. im sure ill figure it out

There's nothing wrong with your bone structure, Jeremy.

Some people take very naturally to rolls, other people don't. I've been training for close to four years, and my rolls still aren't as good as I want them to be. It's probably the hardest skill to really get down completely right in parkour! Work on it every day and you'll get it eventually. Search for some of the old roll help threads - there's a lot of great information out there.

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #71 on:** December 08, 2009, 11:45:11 AM »

Thank you Zac! My rolls have gotten a lot better, asked for a few tips on the roll pain thread, just had to torque it a little more when im doing it from a standstill

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #72 on:** December 25, 2009, 07:33:09 PM »

I got my Iron Gym!!!! Did at least 20 pull-ups (at like random times)

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im excited!!!! and i got SS!!

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #73 on:** December 27, 2009, 11:03:39 AM »

Arghhhh i didnt know pull-ups work your core too... owie.. I am definitely liking that Iron Gym though.. I still havent looked through my SS yet (it says 2nd edition on the cover?.. is that the better one, or what?..), but im thinking i should set some new goals soon!

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #74 on:** January 09, 2010, 03:47:14 PM »

AHHH The "squat" section of SS is 64 pages!! Do i have to read all of that?? Its very overwhelming! And since im a complete n00b to weightlifting, i dont understand most of it!

$:-\$

Wyatt Kessler · « **Reply #75 on:** January 20, 2010, 06:33:11 AM »

I'll show you the ways to weight lift and you can show me the ways of parkour

START HERE

REVIVED

I NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK.
Let's get started.

DIET FIXES:
-No more soda. Water and Milk ONLY.
-No more eating junk food as snacks.
-Eat more fruits.
-Find some way to eat vegetables.

Now, onto my workout routine. I don't have access to weights. Body weight exercises are going to be my best friend. I will read the article from EMI. Goals first. What do I want to achieve? Handstands, L-Sits, Core strength, Mile times, Upper body strength. No, more specific on those last 2. I want my mile time to be at 6:00mins. or lower. I want to be able to be able to do a muscle up.

Handstands = Skill work. Will go to Beast Skills.
L-Sits = Progression. Will go to Beast Skills.
Core Strength = Built through L-Sit/Front Lever progressions.
Mile Time = Endurance. HIIT?
Muscle Up = Progressions. Pull-ups < Kipping Pull-ups <

? < Muscle Up

AGENDA
Wall Assisted Handstands
Tucked L-Sits - Hold for 15-20 seconds. 2 Sets
Tucked Front Lever - Hold for 15- 20 seconds 2 Sets
Running - Will add when I find answer as to how to go about training for this.
Pull Ups - 5 Reps, 2 Sets.

I want to become more flexible as well... I also have NO idea where to start. If someone can help, would be much appreciated.

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #77 on:** September 19, 2010, 01:42:43 PM »

REVISION AND READING DAY

Read some of the EMI articles. Will read Beast Skills articles on Progressions.

REVISED
5 Minutes of Assisted handstand work.
2 Sets of 5 - Pull Ups
3 Sets of 20 Seconds - Tucked Front Lever
3 Sets of 20 Seconds - Tucked L-Sit
25 Push Ups
Muse_of_Fire's Post-Parkour Stretches

I feel like there should be more here. Anything I'm missing here?

Jeremy Osborn · « **Reply #78 on:** September 20, 2010, 05:21:36 PM »

First Day of the Training Routine.

Man, have I got work to do.

-I just looked, and I honestly don't have an open wall in my room to practice with. Looks like dry days will be when I'll get to practice this
-8 out of 10 Pull-Ups
-I got the Front Lever
-I only was able to complete 11 seconds of the Tucked L-Sit.
I finished all the Push-Ups
I did a lot of the stretching, and wow that feels pretty good! Thank you Alissa!

One of your later entries said you don't have access to weights but if that ever changes...

To learn more about weight lifting you may want to buy a book such as Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia of Body Building.

A few free sources are:
http://thetrainingstationinc.com/exercises.html
http://www.bodybuilding.com

The best source on stretching I've ever seen is this:
http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/docs/rec/stretching/stretching_1.html

I can't help you much in regards of running but this has helped the functionality of my legs:
