What the One Arm Push UP Taught Me

THREE Steps to Nail ANY Super Hard Goal 

For the past 13 months I’ve been working on One super hard goal.

Doing a One Arm Push UP so I can become a certified Strongfirst Bodyweight Coach

last week I realized the steps I took will help me nail ANY hard thing I want to get done in life (job stuff, relationships, being a better human, or being strong as heck!) Try these steps for yourself 🙂

1.  STAY PATIENT (+ practice self compassion)

You can NEVER Rush Strength. But you MUST keep showing up and working the plan – EVERY DAY

2. TEAM UP!

Hire Bad Ass Pros. Pay Them. Do the work – and KEEP going (Scroll down to Check out my Team)

3.  MAKE ROOM

When you have ONE really big challenge- You cannot do all the other things

Here’s How I learned these steps. SCROLL Down to get each step in detail, so you can totally nail your own goal!!

3 simple lean out moves

To drop weight fast and lean out – Ya gotta get stronger.. plain and simple. I love the TSC  (Tactical Strength Challenge) for this reason.. PLus it’s a helluva lot of fun.

Twice a year me and other awesome humans that like to shove around heavy stuff meet up and perform 3 simple moves.

Here’s my Kettlebell bud Jorge and I

We are ready each time to do our best in both Strength and Cardio. These 3 moves nail exactly that!   The Pullup, Barbell deadlift and Kettlebell Snatch

( See all three Vids BELOW)

It’s the months of training we put in that drastically change our bodies! Every year about a month before the TSC, people start telling me I’m looking leaner and my arms look stronger- 2 things I love hearing:)

HERE”S THE TRICK:

Keep it SIMPLE and TRAIN SMART – Allow yourself more rest days, just twice a week on this routine is plenty – also allo plenty of rest between sets.

Here is what I do every Tuesday and Sunday- with 4 mins rest between sets of deadlifts and pullups

1. Chin Ups -Overhand grip, strict plank form – no kicking or momentum allowed! See video below.

  • I jog around a track or on the treadmill btwn my sets.
  • DO MAX pullups OR 1 hang hold for max time
  • stretch or jog for 3 -4 mins than go again – DO 5 rounds

2. Deadlifts – Do your 3 rep max

take 4 mins between sets, shake out your muscles.. stay moving – but DO NOT do any other WORK.. stretching, rolling is great.

Take on 4-5 rounds of 3 lifts- first lift should always be about 25 lbs lighter than your 3 rep max

 

3. Snatches! My fav:)

Set a timer for 5 mins. Grab the smart weight for you – perform 8/8 at the top of each minute – work up to 12/12

So at start of time do 12 snatches rt/ then 12 snatches lt. then set it down and take your 10-20 secs rest and go again!

SEE ALL VIDS below

If you wanna start training with these moves – BE SMART! Make sure you really know and feel good in these lifts. If you don’t you can really get hurt.. Get yourself an SFG coach ( ELITE trainer in barbells, kettlebell and bodyweight moves)- AKA – ME!

** Remember this! To get stronger and leaner – you MUST let your body catch up.

Ya gotta get in more sleep on heavy lift days (especially night before)

You also do the most you can safely – no pussy footin’ around. – Grab that heavy bell, pull up your full body. Put those assisted bands and light bells away!On;y do the reps you can do well. Stop when your form falls to shit and rest at least 2 mins before you attempt your next rep

Here’s my last TSC! I’m making small but gradual improvements every year

2 pullups  (they’re freakin’ hard! )

215lbs on the Bar

113 Snatches at 16 Kilo

You’ll be amazed at how lean and strong you get
