Parkour Training: Week One

*Disclaimer*

This is just an amateur workout I came up with hoping I could get fit just through parkour conditioning exercises.

So please don't expect anything amazing in this video... at least not yet!

I am currently 5'7" & about 160 lbs. My goal is to hit 145 lbs and have the ability to dunk on a standard height basketball rim (I am 4 inches from being able to touch rim)

My hope for these videos is that more experienced traceurs/freerunners could give me tips and/or advice on training, diet, conditioning, technique or form.

Music: Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun
(Everyone always uses high intensity rock songs for their parkour videos. I thought I'd change it up a bit haha)

@mikedude676767 Actually I wasn't a professional or even good enough to be called a skilled amateur. As for conditioning, try looking into Crossfit. A muuuch better workout than this one I made 2 years ago lol

i'm guessing by the time you finished making video of week 2, nike approached you about siging up with them. The rest is history. you sell out. come back and make more videossssss

@donhoe01 Haha I wish... I was not even remotely close to that level of skill. I actually joined the Army, so I wasn't able to make any more videos :(

@JPGuitarGuyFutrell thanks man

[JPGuitarGuyFutrell]

@MrArrogoth for that one, look up static holds. Check out Planche Progressions as well as the L-Sit and Front Levers. Those along with Pushups (in all of their variations), Pull-ups (the real deal, palm forward, full range of motion pull-ups), Bodyweight Squats (just like regular squats but without the barbells) and running should get you into very good shape in a fairly quick amount of time. I started using the planche and front lever progressions my senior year and my bench max jumped 50lbs!!

[MrArrogoth]

any tips for getting to the point where you can lift your own weight? I'm not fat but I am 220lb 5'11 so I need three times the strength that a normal person does.
