  • How to get Strong with Calisthenics

    How to get Strong with Calisthenics
    Aug 22 2023
    Strength development has been well researched, documented and tested. Very little is left to the imagination and generally speaking we know exactly how to go from being weak to being strong. To simplify hard work, nutrition and rest will allow your body to get stronger. Your body neither knows nor cares where the strength stimuli is coming from. It does not matter if you are pushing your body weight, dumbbells or a car. This episode is an exploration of how I've spend my life building strength with calisthenics, gymnastics based and bodyweight only exercises. I discuss how you can build true strength using calisthenics, how to adjust traditional weight lifting protocols to suit your style of training and what kind changes you can make to your training to maximize your gains.Coach Bachmann Social & WebsiteInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachbachmannFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecoachbachmannPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/CoachBachmann/Website: https://coachbachmann.com

  • Make Your Flexibility Training 12% more effective

    Make Your Flexibility Training 12% more effective
    Feb 16 2023

    Learn the 7 practical and easy steps to make your flexibility training more efficient!

    https://courses.coachbachmann.com/make-flexibility-training-12-more-effective/

    Plenty of research proves over and over again that a strong mind muscle connection and focused training can increase muscle growth and strength gains by up to 12%. Whilst I am lacking precise research, I can guarantee you from personal experience that it is exactly the same with flexibility. Possibly even more so!

    Often when we think about increasing our range of motion we think of a daily post workout stretch or maybe a quick session before our actual training but improving flexibility is so much more. Increase your useable range of motion will require focus, a precise plan and patience to the point that some might even call you stubborn.

    Getting the most out of your flexibility training is easier than you might think. Whilst you most likely won't see instant results I challenge you to trust me on this one and invest 3 month of your life. I promise you, the results will leave you stunned!

  • How to Stalder Press to Handstand

    How to Stalder Press to Handstand

    STALDER PRESS TO HANDSTAND

    Is this the hardest Calisthenics Skill there is?

    Head over to my website for images and videos of the here explained concepts and for a free Press to Handstand workout.

    https://courses.coachbachmann.com/how-to-stalder-press-to-handstand

    The Stalder Press to handstand is one of the most ambitious and difficult bodyweight skills out there combining strength, technique and flexibility on a very unique level.

    Training for the stalder press requires big amounts of patience as the road will be long and even though the stalder press is a pretty short movement performing it requires just as much patience and faith in one’s capabilities. If the skill is rushed and technique is neglected the press becomes significantly harder and close to impossible.

    Yet, learning to stalder press is possible for anyone. If you believe in yourself and you are willing to put in the work possibly over years to come you will get there.

  • Crow Pose VS. Crane Pose

    Crow Pose VS. Crane Pose
    Jan 6 2023

    https://courses.coachbachmann.com/crow-vs-crane-pose/

    Follow the link for additional info, images and a free workout

    https://courses.coachbachmann.com/crow-vs-crane-pose/

    The crow and Crane pose are very similar looking bodyweight skills falling into the family of arm balances. The poses may have strong roots in yoga yet are commonly used in calisthenics, handstand and all types of beginner gymnastics training.

    Whilst both skills rely on similar balance paired with upper body pushing strength and full body tension they have 1 significant difference that changes everything.

  • Do you need to be flexible to learn to handstand?!

    Do you need to be flexible to learn to handstand?!
    Nov 14 2022

    Check out the whole article at:

    https://courses.coachbachmann.com/you-dont-need-to-be-flexible-to-handstand-but-it-will-help/

    Learning to Handstand is hard. As a coach it is my duty to help make handstands as easy as possible for you.

    Big picture there are 3 ways of how you can make handstands easier. You can either get strong as a bear, you can perfect your technique or you can create mechanical advantages through flexibility.

    Just like any door that says pull opens by pushing if you apply enough force or you can theoretically make water boil by rubbing the cub you can also press to handstand without any flexibility.

    All this is possible. You can do handstands if you are completely stiff but will it be efficient? I think not!
