How Building Body Control Creates Confidence

By Rachel

People in the fitness world often get caught up with how many reps or sets you can do of a particular exercise, and there’s a tendency to gauge strength on those measures.

But it’s about quality, not quantity.

It’s about building control and confidence in your movement abilities – that will allow you to build the most usable and practical strength you can.

Stick this in your earhole!

A few of the topics covered:

  • Learning how to fall without injury
  • How many pull-ups can Ryan do?
  • Why watching a tutorial simply can’t teach you how to do a muscle-up
  • Is it OK to “cross the streams”? Using rings and parallettes together
  • How to build control and confidence
  • Failure in practice vs. failure in the real world
