You will start to see in the next couple of days WODs. WOD is workout of the day.WE will post every day. The common splits are a) as posted, which is 3 days on/1 off.

If you need explanation on doing the WODs, We will be happy to help just post your questions

Some insight and thoughts on sets and reps:

The WOD descriptions are very literal; don’t read into them. If it says “squats” it means bodyweight (aka “air squats”) - no added weight, unless it says back squats or front squats.
A “rep” or repetition is one iteration of a movement. One bench press, one squat. A “set” is a group of reps: 10 reps =10 bench presses, 10 squats. 3 sets is do a group of repetitions, rest, repeat, rest, repeat. So, 3 sets of 10 (reps) is 10/rest/10/rest/10. The rest interval is up to your recovery time, and the goal of the WOD. Obviously, if it’s a timed WOD, you want to rest less.
Also, rest and reps are frequently inverse. Sometimes a WOD says deadlift 3-2-2-1-1-1. This means a set of 3 reps, a set of 2 reps, another set of 2, a “set of one” aka a “single.” This few reps indicates maximal load, and indicates longer rest times.
Back to literal: if the WOD says 21-15-9 reps of bench and pullups in “rounds” (or any two or three exercises as given) you do 21 reps of exercise 1, followed by 21 reps of exercise 2, and 21 reps of exercise 3 if there is a third one. Now do 15 of the first, 15 of the second…9 of the first, 9 of the second.
Most likely you will be breaking the 21’s and 15’s (and maybe the 9’s) into subsets, aka “breakdowns.” This is based on your strength and conditioning. Remember if you need to adjust the weight downward, do so, since these are timed WODs.
Ever WOD will have a number linked to it. we will every couple of months repeat a WOD.Keep track of your reps and time so you can look back and see your improvement.
WE also encourage you to post your time and reps to our bog so you and other can see were you stand.

Rolling is a foundation movement; you can’t land from height properly if you don’t know how to roll, or if you are not confident in your roll. The roll can take months of practice to build up to a level where you’re comfortable doing it on concrete. I suggest starting on carpet or grass, or better yet a padded gym floor.

we had a pretty successfull training monday night. Isacc, paul, phil, and chris came out, the crew is starting to grow.

charlie and i are pretty excited to see where this is going to go.

*new news*

i heard rumor today that there is an investor that wants to sponsor some gym time for us to use. thats something to be stoked about if i’ve ever heard of it.

When looking for the best shoes for training Parkour there are a few things that should be taken into account, certain things to look for, and other things to avoid. Sometimes the best shoes for training can be…

Exercise equipment is not limited to your local gym or recreation center. It can be found anywhere and at any time. However, to see the equipment that is all around you, you must change the way you view your environment. As a traceur, you already have a head start on gaining this perspective; you see obstacles as opportunities for movement. A natural variation of this perspective is to also see obstacles as exercise equipment. An every day, common rail, bench, tree, or wall can all be turned into an incredibly versatile piece of exercise equipment. In this edition of Urban Exercise Equipment, they explore the exercise possibilities of a basic rail.

cory: if you want, take a pic of yourself doing some of these exercises and email them to obc.parkour@gmail.com and we will post them.

super stoked fot tonights training. should be pretty good. i know charlie and i will already be sore from our up-river run we did yesturday so maybe you will have a chance keeping up with us now. ;)

here is a link to where we are going to meet: drive behind the strip-mall that is right next to the chick-fil-a, that is where we will be.

bring:

good tennishoes
1 gallon jug of cold water
track shorts or something very breathable and flexable
something to wipe away all the sweat you will be spreading all over the ground :)

When it comes to training or learning a new skill you must have high repetition of said skill. To insure that you master all the modall demands of the skill.

another video from earlier in the year of Charlie.

This is some footage from earlier this year of Cory doing his thing.

our first jam, come and hang out and have fun! PARKOUR! bring: good supporting tennieshoes 1 gallon jug of cold water shorts or very breathable track pants shirt is opptional fingerless gloves if you want
