Ground movement is my go-to for an efficient, full-body workout that hits strength, mobility, coordination, AND endurance. 💪 

If you move non-stop for 2 minutes, you’ll feel it—and you might even slip into a flow state. 🌊

If you can do 5-10 reps of a progression, you’re If you can do 5-10 reps of a progression, you’re likely ready to attempt a single rep at the next progression:

Progression 1: Incline Push-Up
Progression 2: Standard Push-Up
Progression 3: Decline Pike Push-Up
Progression 4: Into Object Handstand Push-Up
Progression 5: Standard Handstand Push-Up
Progression 6: Full Range Of Motion (ROM) Handstand Push-Up

Of course, it varies from person to person, but it’s a great rule of thumb. For example, if you can manage 5-10 reps of incline push-ups (adjusting the angle as needed), you’re probably ready to try a standard push-up. 👊

Wrong pull-ups don’t exist! Why argue about the Wrong pull-ups don’t exist!

Why argue about the “right” way to do pull-ups? 🤔

Right and wrong movement patterns only make sense when you look at the rules of the game.

The rules at CrossFit allow for kipping and swinging to be more efficient. The strict “gymnastic” pull-up has different rules. When the rules and goals differ, so will the movement patterns. It’s only wrong if you compare it to other rules.

Falsche Klimmzüge gibt es nicht!

Warum darüber streiten, was die „richtige“ Art ist, Klimmzüge zu machen? 🤔

Richtige und falsche Bewegungsmuster ergeben nur Sinn, wenn man sich die Regeln des Spiels ansieht. Die Regeln bei CrossFit erlauben Kipping und Schwung, um effizienter zu sein. Der strikte Gymnastik-Klimmzug hat andere Regeln. Wenn sich die Regeln und Ziele unterscheiden, werden es auch die Bewegungsmuster tun. Es ist nur falsch, wenn man es mit anderen Regeln vergleicht.

video:

as a good rule of thumb, if you can perform 5-10 reps in a progression, you can probably do one rep in the next level.

obviously, it varies between progressions and the individual, but it’s a useful benchmark.

example: if you can do 5-10 reps of incline push-ups (depending on the angle), then you can likely do 1 proper standard push-up.

speaking of proper push-ups, if you’re starting from zero or want to increase your reps to 5 in a row, check out our free 30-day challenge and build up from 0 to 5 proper push-ups!

go to marcomeyermoves.com for more info.

Falsche Liegestütze gibt es nicht!

Warum darüber streiten, was die „richtige“ Art ist, Liegestütze zu machen? 🤔

Richtige und falsche Bewegungsmuster ergeben nur Sinn, wenn man sich die Regeln des Spiels ansieht. Die Regeln bei CrossFit erlauben eine Wand und die Nutzung der Füße, um effizienter zu sein. Der freie Handstand-Liegestütz aus der Gymnastik hat andere Regeln. Wenn sich die Regeln und Ziele unterscheiden, werden es auch die Bewegungsmuster tun.
