Sunday Show Off - The place to impress and be impressed

[groo101]

As we await Brent and Kacy’s AMA today, let’s show off our progress! Whether you're flexing your sweet gains in a series of bathroom selfies, doing back levers like a boss, or planching on all the things, *this thread is for you to share with and inspire others!*

Note that we aren’t limited to what we're discussing on the FAQ. Show us anything noteworthy. This may include aspects of: gymnastics, climbing, parkour, weight loss/gain, posture, etc. They are all more than welcome in this thread.

We also want to remind you that we've been sharing your content on @redditbwf on both Instagram and Twitter. Help us grow our sub's social media in order to reach out to non-Redditors across these other platforms!

Pics and videos from last week:

• /@kotizer getting no love with his pirouette on the parallettes from his mom.
• In addition to a new set of rings, /@jesushasspoken is making great progress on his handstand body line
• /@loum is still chicken-winging his muscle ups, but is determined on getting rid of that habit by this week.
• /@johnthesupine’s daughter got her own pair of parallel bars. He also reports doing the beginner routine since October, now managing 45s ring support, 15s floor and ring L-sit, 30s wall handstands, 3x5 front tuck ice cream makers, and 2x6 ring pushups. Great freaking work!!
• Had a collage of exercises from /@riverrose. If you missed it on yesterday’s Slip Up thread, he had a redeeming video of this sweet combo. Bonus: him doing 9 consecutive muscle ups
• Flag pullups from /@chadwick90
• /@wandering_sheep is working on muscle up progressions with these controlled negatives
• Some advanced tucked back lever and ring muscle up work by /@sparky1
• /@2dancer2 showing off how easy it is for him to balance his handstands

Keep up the great work everyone! Unfortunately I’m running low on time for today and was not quite able to compile a summary of our text submissions. But let’s all continue to congratulate and encourage each other on any improvements made this week, no matter how minuscule! Post what you've been working on!

@courtreim Very nice work man! Keep up the good work.

 

[courtreim]

@commissioned2encourageu Thanks!

 

[riverrose]

@courtreim The form

 

[courtreim]

@riverrose All those drills sure paid off

@groo101 Did my first pull up this week! Saw 85kg on a scale for the first time (down from 96kg).

Also managed to keep my workout schedule going on a 2 week vacation!

 

[dawn16]

@philip_b That's awesome!

 

[riverrose]

@philip_b Grats! And kudos for keeping up with it on holiday.

 

[simanjuntak]

@groo101 I compete on American Ninja Warrior. I stick strictly to bodyweight fitness so that I don't add mass through weights. It allows me to stay light and increase my grip to be able to do stuff like this...

 

[ukubird]

@simanjuntak HOLY PISS.

 

[philip_b]

@simanjuntak Beautiful

 

[riverrose]

@simanjuntak That is so damn cool! Keep up the fantastic work.

There are no gyms I know of in my city with a salmon rack

And no I will never set foot in a crossfit box.

 

[groo101]

@simanjuntak Mike! I remember when your early Youtube videos went viral, especially because of how awesome your room is. Thanks for submitting this compilation, all these salmon ladders are insane. Also, not sure if you saw, but Brent and Kacy are currently doing an AMA!

 

[simanjuntak]

@groo101 Haha, thanks! And yea, I've been reading it. Don't have any questions for them, but they are both awesome people, and it's fun to watch all the Q&A's.

@groo101 I've been training for backflip for a week now. Tried it the first time last week's saturday. I've always been scared of going over my head like this so this has been a big win for me. I haven't landed one perfectly on video yet but I have done it two times when there hasn't been a camera on.

Anyway, the best ones on video:

 

[apmichael]

@amadeois Wow, that's awesome! Do you have a coach? It seems like the kind of thing you can't teach yourself to do over the internet...

 

[amadeois]

@apmichael I attend an adult men gymnastics class once a week. We are all more or less total beginners. These classes have a coach. I started last fall and currently I try to have one extra session every week when the gym is open for freeform training. Joining was the best decision I've ever made regarding training.

@amadeois what language was the camera man speaking?
