squat.ape Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hello all!I've finally decided to join the rebellion! I'm a fine arts student (any other arts people here?) who also took up parkour recently (+1 for the assassins). Sadly though, I'm not very strong, so I'm looking for support and advice, or perhaps just a friendly hello. Cheers everyone!-Squat Ape <3 1 Quote Link to comment

squat.ape Posted February 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I certainly need more arm strength and my core strength is just so-so. My goal is to finally be able to do one pull up. The guys at parkour do 15 after training and I just hang on the bar. It's a start, but I'd like to be able to play in their league one day. However, I don't know if lifting weights is the best way to get there for me. I'm quite green when it comes to athletics, but this community seems quite vibrant, so I'm sure I can find my way Quote Link to comment

Barfly Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 I thought that was just a stereotype Check this out, it's like the workouts I do, and I'm up to 10-12 pull-ups.http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/ Quote The past is only smoke in a dream.

Liberator Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hello, I am an art nerd! I also live right next to Canada, and enjoy all my visits there. I have found it is true people are more polite in Canada except for the ones in our shopping malls. Quote Link to comment
