I’ve tried many forms of Online Coaching. My own website, emails, Patreon, Ucoach, and many different online coaching platforms.

And by far without a doubt this has been my most successful form of online coaching.

Just simple WhatsApp direct messaging. Close and PERSONAL.

No formalities and no obligations. Always there and we're connected together.

Being a coach is more than just simply giving someone a workout plan. It's also about understanding the individual's daily routines and habits, so that the plan can be tailored and adapted to their lifestyle.

A good coach takes into account not just the goals of the person they're working with, but also their personal circumstances and preferences.

By prioritizing open communication in this simple approach, we will be able to make continuous progress while adapting to whatever curveballs life throws our way, whether its sudden schedule changes, sleep issues, fatigue, stress, or anything else.

Please don't hesitate to reach out via email or DM if you have any questions or would like to learn more.

YES! Ring Dips for Back Development.

Although the ring dip is known to be a primary movement for targeting the chest, shoulders, and triceps, the exercise also engages the back muscles to a high significant degree.

When performing ring dips, you need to stabilize your shoulder blades to keep the rings stable, which activates the muscles around the shoulder blades, including the rhomboids, middle trapezius, and lower trapezius.

These muscles are responsible for pulling your shoulder blades back and down, making ring dips an effective exercise for strengthening the upper back.

Now if you want to take this to a whole another level then superset ring dips with ring rows. You can thank me later ;)

As a 160lbs ectomorph with a wrist size of 6.5 inches I used to be deluded that I could be as big and strong as a natural born mesomorph if I just trained hard. That was back in my early teenage days.

Now years later l understand that thats physically impossible. And I realized how toxic this mentality was because it made me never value my progress that I earned.

Now I have come to the realization that I am strong, muscular, and well-built in relation to my natural frame and genetic makeup. As a result, I have begun to appreciate and understand certain concepts such as:

▫️Pound for pound strength.
▫️Muscle-to-fat ratio.
▫️Muscle-to-bone ratio.

This mindset shift made me realize how much progress I’ve mad. My satisfaction with the outcome of what I’ve been doing for years (my training) has sky rocketed.

So to keep it short I advise you that you stop comparing yourself to others and start being realistic. Don’t feel bad if you’re just never going to be the next LeBron James although you’re training very hard day and night to be that kind of player. The reality is you just don’t have that that build, power and explosiveness that will make you as good as Lebron James. Same goes to any other sport.

Understand your true potential and stop wasting time working something unattainable.

I respect a person who can dunk while being 5’8 more than a person who can dunk while being 6’3.

Your progress and results are unique to you and should only be compared to your own abilities and potential no one‘s else.

Master your own bodyweight whether its before you get into lifting weights or during or even after. I swear its worth it.

This is the byproduct of 10 years of natural advanced bodyweight training.

Is there a problem in choosing fitness to look good? Absolutely NOT.

Does performance focused training transfer into better aesthetics? Absolutely YES.

Then where is the issue? The issue is when you only use the aesthetic lens to value and judge your body and nothing else.

When you completely dont care about how fit and healthy you are and only care whether you added an inch to your biceps is where the issue is.

Aristotle once said “its a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable of”.

Start seriously considering performance, have a strength/speed/endurance/conditioning or any performance goal and strive for it.

Start treating your body like a machine, not a manikin.

Unfortunately the fitness industry nowadays has become an industry of toxic competition where everyone wants to prove that the other person is doing it wrong and they’re doing it right forgetting what it’s all about as experts and professionals which is helping people become physically and mentally better while working on their goals.

Some trainers overcomplicate fitness and show you that only their methods work and other methods are wrong just to seem unique and sell you their products and services.

You’ll see average gym regulars and enthusiasts seriously arguing about whether you should squat ass to grass or squat half way while research shows you both could work depending on certain variables and the list goes on.

People can truly get heated while arguing about perfect form, perfect diet, perfect supplement selection, perfect program, and they all dont exist.

Whats a perfect method is the method that teaches you to be consistent and teaches you how to train hard. Its the method that you can stick with and see results from and works for you and maybe not for someone else.

Its just another level here… Pure advanced calisthenics and bodyweight training 💪🏼

Special shoutout to this beast of human .prout whos been putting in the work as you can see 🔥🔥

I hope this will motivate you to know that there is no excuses and with dedication and hard work anything is possible ✅

Tracking and finding the athlete’s RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) within a given exercise, routine, or any activity should be the coach’s top priority in each training session. Tracking down what is considered to be hard and exhausting and what is not in order to periodically expose the athlete to intensity rather than randomly.

Coaching is not as simple as just throwing hard exercises to give the athlete a good sweat. It takes further understanding of the individual’s goals and schedule and what goes on in their life outside of the gym.

How is their nutrition, their physical condition prior to the training, sleep, and many more factors. All determines their levels of intensity, volume, rest periods, etc.. for each training session.

There is a time and place for everything, hard torturing workouts and low intensity workouts. Both are a must and both depend on many variables that have to be in check, or you will fall into arbitrary training that will get you stuck in a plateau.

Lets get the facts straight 💡
