I thought I would win easily… I was wrong 😳

I challenged the best handstand balancer in Florida. With all my years of calisthenics training, I felt confident going in…

But strength is one thing. Balance is another. 🔥

Only 3 months left in 2026.

Time flies. Faster than we think.

If there’s something you’ve been wanting to start, now is the moment.

Don’t wait for the perfect Monday.
Don’t wait for January.
Don’t wait until you feel ready.

Because “I’ll start later” can turn into years. And one day, you could be 60 or 70, wishing you had started when you had the chance.

You have that chance today.

Take action. Stop hesitating. Do the first rep. Take the first step. Whatever your goal is, start working toward it.

You don’t need to achieve everything in these three months. But you can build momentum, discipline, and a foundation you’ll thank yourself for.

Start now. Keep grinding into 2027.

Everything is possible.

Can you unlock a skill just by attempting it?

Yes… and no.

If you’re naturally gifted and already have an extremely strong foundation, sometimes you actually can.

That’s what happened to me when I started calisthenics.

When I was learning the planche, there wasn’t nearly as much information available as there is today. I didn’t know about proper progressions, programming, protraction, specific planche exercises, or how to structure my training.

I basically kept attempting it.

And eventually, I unlocked it.

But there’s something very important behind that story:

I was already strong.

Before seriously attempting the planche, I had already developed a strong base and could perform skills like the back lever, bent-arm planche, human flag, muscle-up, and other beginner-to-intermediate skills.

My body was already prepared for something harder.

So yes, sometimes simply attempting a skill can work.

But that’s the exception, not the rule.

Most people starting calisthenics are beginners.

Maybe you’ve trained in the gym for a few years and built muscle and general strength.

But calisthenics requires more than that.

You need body control.

You need straight-arm strength.

You need joint and connective-tissue adaptation.

You need mobility.

You need technical awareness.

And you need time for your body to adapt to completely new positions.

That’s why I don’t believe beginners should immediately spend all their time trying to force an advanced skill like the planche.

First, build the foundation.

Develop your basic strength.

Master beginner and intermediate skills.

Improve your body control.

Prepare your joints and muscles.

Learn how to control different positions.

And experience progress along the way.

That last part is extremely important.

Because if you start completely untrained, a planche can take years.

And the question becomes:

Can you stay motivated for 2–3 years if you feel like you’re not mastering anything along the way?

For most people, that’s very difficult.

That’s why progression matters.

Foundation → beginner skills → intermediate skills → advanced skills.

You’re constantly getting stronger, improving your control, mastering new movements, and moving closer to the final goal.


❗️And if you’ve already been training for months or even years, but you feel stuck, there’s another problem.

Your program may simply not be built for you.

A good personalized program shouldn’t just give you a list of exercises.

It should identify:👇🏻

• What your weak points are
• What is actually holding your planche back
• Which muscles or positions need more strength
• Whether your technique is limiting you
• How much volume you can recover from
• How frequently you should train
• How your lifestyle and recovery affect your progress
• When to push harder and when to reduce fatigue

And then the program needs to keep changing as you change.

That’s exactly what I do with my 1:1 athletes.

You get an individual training structure based on your current level, weaknesses, recovery, schedule, and goals.

And I review your training and provide feedback so you understand not only what to do, but also what to focus on and why.

There are only 3 months left in 2026.

For the next few months, I’m opening 10 spots for my 1:1 coaching.

If you’ve been stuck, you’ve tried different programs, and you feel like nothing is moving you forward, this can be the moment to get on the right path and enter 2027 with a much stronger foundation.

❗️Back lever, human flag, crow pose, bent-arm planche are USELESS. Go straight to planche and front lever.

That's what a lot of coaches say. Seriously⁉️

- Then let's tell a toddler to skip crawling and just run.
- Skip the planche and go straight to the maltese
- Skip the push-up and go straight to the planche push-up
- Skip the driving lessons and go straight to Formula 1
- Skip multiplication and go straight to calculus

Not everyone who starts calisthenics is a gifted teenager. A lot of you are men in your 20s, 30s and 40s who have never trained before. If we only coach the talented few, the sport stops growing.

Planche and front lever are amazing skills, and they're easy to sell. But they're advanced skills. They take a huge amount of time, strength and energy.

There are beginner skills too:
• Crow pose, L-sit, headstand
And intermediate skills:
• Back lever, bent-arm planche, human flag, dragon flag, handstand

These skills build body control, mind-muscle connection, and the foundation for advanced skills.

I've seen people start planche training with no base at all. And you know what happened? They got stuck at tuck planche for a WHOLE YEAR.

There's a clear order:
1. Build strength
2. Master beginner skills
3. Build control and mind-muscle connection
4. Master intermediate skills
5. Then move to advanced skills

Every skill has requirements before you start it. You don't run before you walk. You don't become Einstein without learning basic math.

"This skill will come for free" isn't true for everyone. For some people, the planche takes years. Imagine spending two years chasing one skill, never mastering anything, and never feeling that achievement. Would most people stick with it?

So, to the coaches who say back lever, human flag and bent-arm planche come for free: what's your argument? Write it in the comments. I'm waiting.

Can a 15-year-old break 3 world records in 30 minutes?

Planche push-ups. 90° handstand push-ups. Planche press to handstand.
No second attempts. If he drops, that's his number.

Is he the strongest pusher in the world? Watch and decide.

2022 - I set the world record. 60kg.
Son Hanma took it to 80.
A lot of people call me weak now. Today I start my road to taking it back.
Ep 1 is up. I test my max and we find out where I actually stand. 👇

I'm making a FREE masterclass and I want to build it around what YOU are actually stuck on.

14 years of training, and the #1 thing I see: people train hard for years and the skill never comes. Usually it's not effort, it's the wrong path.
Answer in the comments, one line is enough 👇
SKILL - HOW LONG STUCK - WHAT YOU ALREADY TRIED
Example: Front lever - 2 years - follow YouTube videos, tuck holds and negatives, no progress.

I read every comment. The most common answer becomes the masterclass 💪

🚨107 days left in 2026🚨

Most men wrote a goal in January and quietly let it die by March. Three who didn't:

IVAN - January: no press. 3 months later: 90° HSPU, two clean reps.
MARCO -January: no balance, pain in the shoulders. Six months later: press to handstand, HSPU, front lever, muscle-up, straddle planche on a light band.

Not 22-year-olds with unlimited time. Grown men with jobs and kids, training three sessions a week.

What we did differently: the first two weeks, we didn't train the skill at all.

Assessment first. Then fix the weak points: scapula, straight-arm strength, wrists.

After that, coach reviews every workout you send. Not weekly check-ins. Every session.

108 days won't give you a full planche. It gives you a foundation and a January where you're already halfway instead of starting over.
