Enjoy and SUBSCRIBE!!! :) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjnwWBcn_VA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjnwWBcn_VA</a>

General Fitness / Re: How to avoid muscle mass
« on: April 21, 2013, 08:12:44 AM »
I don't fully understand why you wouldn't want some muscle mass because more muscle equals more power and strength to keep your joints safe. :P
If you think your going to become some Ronnie Coleman looking dude from weight and strength training then you must have never done any WT.
But just do as Nick said in the earlier post below.

Endurance exercises, like long distance running, helps tone and strengthen your muscles without making them huge. As for lifting weights, this is what I found

reps and weight according to goals is:
For strength gains: 1-6 reps, heavy weight
For gaining muscle and size: 8-12 reps, medium-heavy weights
For endurance: 12-16 reps (or more), light-medium weights
He's pretty accurate on what he's saying here, and also just use the internet search engine to find some of bruce's workouts and endurance and strength exercises.

Welcome to the best Parkour & Freerunning forum on the internet everyone!  ;)

I would like to point you guys toward the General Fitness boards for training tips, and dieting advice.

It would also benefit if you all check out the Movement boards for tutorials, and tips on movements.

If you guys are interested in finding traceurs in your area just scroll down the forum hompage and find that big section that says  "Local Connections - USA" and find the region you're in, then find the state.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

I threw in some old unused clips too. Enjoy!

I wasn't having as much energy as yesterday but still went hard!
Warmed up with some flow work and precisions                Intensity = low
APK WOD 5-29-12                                                               Intensity = High
I followed up with some tricking                                          Intensity = medium / high
Trained landing on one leg with standing B- twists             Intensity = High

Today wasn't one of my best days but still a great training session! Going to feel this one tomorrow.

Training Journals / Nick's Power Ranger Training log
« on: May 30, 2012, 01:06:41 PM »
Alright, so I woke up this morning and realized "I'm really not using my body to my full potential." SO today I'm focusing on training harder than ever before for the entire summer of 2012! Yes I know I'm a pussy because I didn't do a 365 but I missed the chance for that in the beginning of the year so I can't start now. But this will benefit me greatly! So lets move on with my overall goals shall we?

Goals~
- Overall increased plyometric power
- Overall strength
- Increased endurance
- 10 ft precision
- Overall flipping
- 25 pull ups (strict form)

I know there aren't many goals right now but over time as I accomplish some more always seem to follow. ALWAYS LOOKING TO IMPROVE.

*NOTE* I will be doing the 365 in 2013 so its all good.  :P

Hey Cory and Andrew! and welcome to apk.

First off I'm going to go ahead and point you guys towards the Movement section to catch up on some tricks you might not have tried yet!

I'd also recommend the General Fitness section in case you'd like to get into better shape for pk. It never hurts to be that much more in shape.

If you guys need any help be sure to PM me or any other ambassadors on here. We'll be glad to help!

Hey Pete, and welcome to the forum!

I think you mean you want to train with someone in your area, if that's the case just go to the forum homepage and scroll down to the Local Connections - USA and choose your region, then good luck finding a training partner/group!  ;)

Also since you're just starting you could learn the basic movements in the Movement boards or in the Tutorials section on the homepage.

Have fun training man! If you have any questions feel free to PM me, or any other Ambassadors on the forum.
