Guarden’s Focused Strength

Jungle Gym Training

Exercise guidelines
On the video below I have filmed some of my training in so-called “Jungle Gym” made famous by BJJ Black Belt and former Sr. RKC Steve Maxwell. The first part shows how to make the one-arm pushup even harder by applying this skill to the unstable environment made by the rings. Not because I want you to make all your training in this kind of unstable environment, this one is just great fun.

If you want to perform the exercises I show it is important that you follow these 3 guidelines:

1: Keep total body tension, tight glutes, abdominals and make sure to keep your lats contracted to protect your shoulders.
2: Your head should be in the same line as the body.
3: Focus on contracting the muscles close to your torso (latissimus dorsi) to make the movement. To many try these exercises and find them to easy. That is because they are leaning a little to the side while doing them instead of working the muscles close to the torso and staying connected through the entire body.

Yesterday the time was up for some naked warrior practice. Visited my parents, but that was no excuse for not training.
