💬 Comment “Skills” for a FREE 2 Hour Calisthenics Skills Masterclass

There’s an immense sense of fulfillment that can only be earned through consistent effort. Shortcuts, by definition, are short-lived.

We chase quick fixes, life hacks, anything to skip the uncomfortable parts that are an unavoidable part of anything worth doing. Because growth doesn’t respond to comfort. It responds to repetition, to presence, to thousands of invisible moments most people rush past.

Let’s never forget that it’s not about getting there, but about who we become along the way. Everyone who’s walked on fire and stone knows the truth: yes, it burns. But that’s exactly what makes each step matter as it carves a type of strength that can only be earned by committing and never let go—no matter what.

Ultimately, it takes the same effort to walk with doubt as it does to walk with faith. The only difference is that one transforms you, the other destroys you. That shortcut you’re taking? It’s just delaying the hardest thing a human can ever earn and the easiest one to lose: self-respect.

And the moment we lose that, we are forced to detour. And that always takes longer than if you would’ve taken the longest path in the first place.

Walk the path.
Earn the reward.
One rep at a time.

Comment “Shoulder” for a FREE shoulder routine + how to unlock the Planche video 👇

Pseudo Planche Lean Push Ups 🔥

One of the most effective exercises for Planche strength. Also one of the most misused.

There are 2 variations:

1. Scapulas protracted the ENTIRE time
2. Retract at bottom, protract at top — like a regular push up (shown here)

Most people think they’re doing variation 1 but they’re actually doing variation 2 without knowing it. That’s fine — just know the difference.

If your goal is full protraction throughout, don’t lean more than you can handle. Otherwise you’ll naturally retract at the bottom.

❓How to build up to full protraction:

First test: Can you keep protraction when you lean WITHOUT the push up?

If not → Start with Plank on Arms. Master each angle before adding more lean.

Key checkpoints:
🔹 Legs together / Heels together
🔹 Hips pushed down + PPT
🔹 Abs fully contracted / Glutes contracted
🔹 Scapulas protracted & depressed
🔹 Neutral spine — rounding too much = compensation

This exercise isn’t the healthiest position for your shoulders. Your body adapts to a lot — just don’t rush it.

The intensity paradox.

People love turning this into a war. “Motivation gets you started, discipline keeps you going.” Cute. But treating motivation like the villain is like blaming your steering wheel because the car needs gas.

Motivation matters. We have a dopamine system built for it. Use it, don’t let it use you, and definitely don’t rely on it.

Whether motivated or not, we still have to do the thing if we want to get good at the thing.

Cultivating a strong relationship? Show up for that person often. Building a business? Even with complete AI automation, you gotta check if the computer is on and update GPT, which holy s**t that’s a daily thing now. Even becoming addicted to TikTok requires consistent scrolling. You won’t get addicted by binging one day and never touching the app again.

Back from robots & TikTok dances: all methods work. What doesn’t? Going so hard you can’t show up again.

Fatigue spikes. Recovery drags. Progress flatlines. Your ego shoots higher than the Burj Khalifa (828m)… then you crash. Your ego crashes too. Motivation becomes a broken parachute and won’t save you.

The human system loves TV shows more than single episodes. Binge a whole season: eyes hurt, head hurts, nightmares—even if it’s a love story.

It’s harder to stay consistent when every workout feels like a comeback story. it’s much easier to continue than to start over.

This isn’t about training soft. It’s understanding that showing up is the most important variable in life and learning.

I don’t speak in absolutes because reality doesn’t work that way (only selling does). Everything works. It’s not motivation vs consistency. It’s about enjoying the process enough that you can adhere to it. But adherence isn’t sexy and it doesn’t go viral unless it’s a TikTok dance.

There are infinite variables I can’t cover in 2,200 characters which is why you’re subscribed to our newsletter where I can fit my essays, right? ;) Family…

Sprint if you can recover.
Run if you can keep the pace.
But when in doubt… just walk.

Walking is forward motion.
And you can’t lose if you don’t stop.
So keep walking, or dancing on tick-tock.

Your shoulder blades move in 4️⃣ directions*

It’s actually 6 but we’ll focus on the four main ones*

Protraction. Retraction. Elevation. Depression.

Comment “SCAPULA” and you’ll get 2 FREE videos on scapular stability.

Most people train for years without knowing how to control a single one. Then wonder why handstands shake, why pull-ups hurt, why shoulders compensate.

Here’s what I learned the hard way: you can’t build strength on top of chaos.

I dislocated my shoulder over 40 times before I understood this.

My scapula would wing out during push-ups. Everything felt unstable. I thought I needed to get stronger.

I was wrong. I needed stability before strength.

✅ PROTRACTION — Shoulder blades forward and apart
Push your body away from the floor . Feel them wrap around your ribs. Small movement. Huge difference for planche, push-ups, horizontal pushing.

✅ RETRACTION — Shoulder blades back and together
Squeeze like holding a pencil between them. Chest opens. Spine stays neutral. This is prep for pulling, rows, healthy shoulders.

✅ ELEVATION — Shoulders up toward ears
Not just shrugging. Active elevation—pushing TALL in handstands, reaching overhead with control. Passive collapse vs active reach.

✅ DEPRESSION — Shoulders down toward hips
Hang from a bar. Pull shoulder blades DOWN. Feel your lats engage. This makes hanging feel safe instead of scary

⁉️Tilting / complex patterns - next time ;)

💭 Why this matters?

Every movement uses one or more of these positions. When you don’t control them, your body compensates. And compensation patterns compound.

Can you move your shoulder blades independently from your spine? Can you protract without rounding? Can you retract without arching?

If not—that’s where the work is.

I spent years on hands and knees practicing these movements. Boring. But it fixed my winging scapula. It stabilized my shoulders. It gave me the foundation for planche.

Years of boring work gave me lasting progress.

Start simple. Quadruped position. Practice moving your shoulder blades while keeping everything else still. Feel the difference. Move slowly.

Control matters more than reps.

Appreciate you being here.

Gabo
