Euphoria, consistency & the truth
Published: Thu, 02/21/13
Hey guys, hope your doing great
I've been getting lots of great feedback since I mentioned that I got my first muscle up yesterday...if you wanna see a video of that you can do so here:
One of my facebook fans described the feeling of your first muscle up as euphoria & I completely agree
I wanted to scream like a little girl when I did it, had a big smiling face & felt totally invincible since I conquered this move
So many possibilities have been opened now & I want you to experience the same
Not just with muscle up, but with any movement you are struggling with (even your first push up)
And the only way you will experience this is with consistency
To day in and day out work towards your strength goal & slowly get better everytime, to start feeling in control of the movement & realize everyday that you now are much stronger than last week
When I first started doing handstands I couldn't walk side to side, I would try but fall right away
These falls motivated me to keep working on this move everyday (doing multiple holds throughout the day)
In about 3 weeks my body got used to to this move, increased my stability, strength & I was able to have more control of this move and do it without falling
All because I keep consistently working on this BW skill
This same principle applies to other skills & I have also used this to improve my push ups & pull ups
It's know is not sexy to talk about hard work & having discipline, but there are no shortcuts to getting stronger with bodyweight
You can either do the move or can't!
So with that said, if you are struggling with any bodyweight move right now, keep working on it everyday & I guarantee you will get better at it!
