    @yburhannan82 Yeah, Im not a big fan of the classical circus either, to be honest, it is quite cringy, so I am with you. The school I am in (and most schools in europe) practice more contemporary circus, which has a lot of different ways it can take shape, it doesnt really follow any old forms...

    @wildgirl1 Well then the mass itself has a functionality so youre not deviating from that goal by going for weight!

    @wildgirl1 I also find it quite cool to gain weight, but in the end I always remind myself that function is what im after not a number on a scale! Its all about the goals of the individual in the end! Thanks a lot! I definitely will :)

    @klong0149 Yes, pretty much! The most common disciplines are juggling, partner acrobatics, handstands, trapeze, aerial straps and rope. If youre good enough and creative enough at what youre doing schools can accept you with pretty much any discipline, although things such as clowning and...

    @jonnyy40 Honestly, I feel like im quite a bad tricker heh. Ive never done more than a normal cork. Height of tricking achievements would be aerial into gms or b-twist to moonkick. I feel much better as a tumbler and creative acrobat in general. I reaaally like doing GMS (grandmaster swipe)...

    @insearchofrationality Hey thanks! Yeah, its a fun move! Good party trick haha. It only took me a couple of weeks, but that is coming from years of practicing isometric and eccentric split holds. Going up is a bit weird on the adductors, but it was more about finding the timing, balance and...

    @seangibbons My main specialisation is acro dance, so combining elements of acrobatics, modern dance, breakdance, capoeira and tricking. The schedule is generally too intense for me to dare add any extra work on my own time in other disciplines. I have been playing around a little bit with...

    @rj786 Hey! Thanks a lot! Generally speaking, if I do acrobatics/trampoline/dance etc my main focus is always on skill work, not that it does not practice or require strength, just that I dont aim for improving that quality per se. If I do strength work, I focus on acquiring strength, so yes, I...

    @splinter215 Thanks a lot! Im glad you found a new goal as well! Basically cause ive heard many nutrition scientists talk about the benefits of omega 3 supplementation in high dosages even while being meat eaters. I eat pretty much always 500 g of salmon a week and thats all the fish i get in a...

    @prealiek Thanks! I used to do more pike stretching a few years back and then I would do loaded pike work. Exercises like one legged good mornings, and jefferson curls. Only around 2 times a week usually for about 3 sets 10 reps, since heavier loaded stretching has a greater impact and produces...
