I love your site! Came across it haphazardly in a Google search for “kipping pull up” but am absolutely amazed at all you have to offer! I’m really looking forward to seeing what y’all post on the nutrition page. Keep up the great work, it’s much appreciated!

Hey guys. I’ve been doing this workout for a few weeks now. Got the exercise ball squats down, I didn’t think it was possible to stand on it until I saw your videos.

My surfing has definitely improved. My popups are waayy fast and purposeful now. They used to be sluggish and desperate. It used to be a distinct motion, like Push Up, Swing Legs, Plant Feet and sometimes I’d end up on my knees.

Now it’s more like Pushupswinglegsplantfeet. All in one big strong fast motion. WOOP SHA WOOP.

WARNING: Definitely do the shoulder injury prevention exercises he demonstrates. The hanging knees-to-shoulders can fuck your shit up if you don’t take the time to strengthen with those lightweight exercises. I have pretty healthy shoulders, but simply due to lack of experience with it I’m noticing some super minor discomfort in the shoulder.

Good stuff. I took a conditioning and flexibility class a few years ago that brought this type of stuff to my attention. I started surfing not too long ago, which is finally an application for it and I can get real about it once again.

Right now I’m so sluggish with popping up that as soon as I want to turn I’m sort of trapped in by whitewater, and my legs sometimes don’t react with equal force to the forward force of the board and I either end up surfing on my knees or pearling hahah.

I’m going to give it a good try and give some feedback in some weeks. My current workout consists of 2 days per week of 3×10 regular squats, 3x 10 pullups, 3×50 pushups, 30-45sec planks, 30-45 sec iso pushup hold. Recently added stability stuff back in, like standing on one leg and picking up weights off the ground and putting them on the other side of me. Anyway, Heeeree we go!

good workout design - this is best surf fitness site i’ve found (there’s a lot of trash out there). like the quality of the instruction (i feel like you know what you’re talking about) and the thoroughness of the video clips.

do you have your older workouts of the week on here, or is this the first one?
