End of Year Goals Review

Ring Muscle Ups
Just a quick update today. Having come pretty close last week, I managed my first ever ring muscle up today, the regular training for this has paid off. My next goal is to try get some reps out. I’ll upload a video next week. Just for a test I also tried some fingertip pullups today, […]

Current Training Schedule
