In reply to Philip Brewer. Rings from the basketball hoop are a great idea! I suppose you even throw-up some TRX-style suspension trainers for a variety of other bodyweight movements, like split squats, et cetera.

In reply to Ben Musholt.

Where I live (a co-op) there’s a basketball court where there’s enough space behind the basket to put up my gymnastic rings. Once the co-op closed our Fitness Room a few weeks ago, I bought a pair and have been using them ever since: https://images.philipbrewer.net/view.php?p=15859452703245

Today I did some rhomboid rows (to offset the rhomboid pushups I’ve been doing for 4 years now, without enough work on the antagonistic muscles).

Since people can’t gather in groups, the basketball court is mostly idle most days, with just the occasional person shooting baskets by himself, which means I can put up my rings almost anytime I want.

In reply to Philip Brewer. That's great to hear, Philip! I'm glad PST can still be a resource during these strange quarantine days. Where have you been training? I'm itching to get back into the parks once the social distancing ban is lifted!

I'm re-reading my copy of Parkour Strength Training, and finding all kinds of great stuff that I'd forgotten. In particular, the emphasis on wall dips over pushups, and the section on landings (which is just as much a section on jumps). All good stuff that is already informing my workouts. Thanks!

In reply to Jarrod Kent. Having a specific college degree isn't necessary. However, you may want to talk with your insurance agent if having a coaching certification would get you a better rate.

do you need any college degrees or certifications to open your own gym and teach others?

Comment on How to fall without getting hurt by S Nandra

its interesting reading about fall after I fell yesterday. I thought I’d practise a fast surprise rotational kick in the park. and instantly, I fell flat on my face with additional impact on the hip. Luckily I had decided not to wear glasses to help ease computer strain. Undoutably, that saved me from facial injury plus it wasn’t hard pavement. my hip is a bit sore, but I can walk. but it is scary. it could have been a lot worse. you cant really prepare for something like this or can you? I swung round to kick, obviously I slipped and fell on my face instantly.

In reply to S. Kwan. That is a good call. Videos would definitely help. Thanks for reminding me!
