#onearmpullups

Today's pull workout turned into mostly one-arm pull-up progression work (my first time doing this) and more handstand practice. Challenging, but fun! . #onearmpullups #onearmpullupprogression #pullworkout #fitoverforty #asianfitness #asianfitfam #fitfamuk #dadswholift #bodyweightfitness https://www.instagram.com/p/By3eBB0A0QQ/?igshid=nir36xccyvas

Physical performance. It's a symbol. It's a way for me to use symbolism to remind myself of who I am and what I'm capable of. It's an empowerment practice and ritual. It reminds me that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. And, I like to remind myself of this fact daily. So, it's not about what I can do. It's about remembering my ability to get where I want to go. In my humble experience, anything worth having or achieving, anything that we want... ... requires consistent tapping into our deeper potential and our hidden powers - daily, hourly, sometimes minute by minute. . And, it's easy to totally forget who we are and what we are capable of. . It's easy to be sucked in by the drift of mainstream surrender. . The examples of self-authorized (self-chosen) mediocrity are abundant. (The victim will argue this observation.) . The enormity of the self-delusion, practiced by those who have settled for the middle... ...is the single biggest thing that feeds a huge entertainment industry (selling easy escape from reality). . I personally refuse to be sucked in by the tide of abandon, surrender, and defeat. (I even have a tattoo on my forearm to remind me to go in the opposite direction of where everyone else is going. The tat is a symbol, too.) . That's why I have symbols - to remember often that I am self-authorized, I don't need anybody's permission, and if I truly want something there's nothing to stop me from getting it. . And, physical performance is one of these symbols. . And, I use it every day. . So, if you thought that it was about physical performance... . That's just the cool and visible part. . The hidden message - and the delivery and the receiving of it daily - is what it's truly about. . (Do you know "The Hero's two journeys"? ) . ~ Ivan . PS: Remember who you are.

Getting the hang of one hand pull ups. Great exercise to develop maximum strength. You can practice this exercise by helping yourself with your other hand holding from a standing bar or a towel #getJACKed #calisthenics #pullups #onearmpullups #workout #jumprope #fitness #streetworkout #strenght #gymnastics
