Today was a tough workout. My #OuraRing had me with a real low readiness score and I felt it. So we were all set to do 3x3 of muscle ups and set 3, we forgot to hit record! So we added a 4th set FOR THE GRAM 🙌! It worked out well 😉
Elyssa thought it would be fun for us to work on some single arm drills. I am a LONG way away from that, but it was still a real fun workout. Thanks coach Jan 🤸🏻♂️👍
I severely lack compression strength/mobility. Oh, and apparently when it gets real hard, I turn into a Caveman.
I just can’t figure out Shoulder stands. Any suggestions?
These assisted planchè to handstand drills felt the best they have today. Has anyone viewing this tried these?
I’m gonna use my IG tv to document my Rings and HS progress. Let’s see how it goes! 😁🙌
American Ninja Warrior Training
This is from my second American Ninja Warrior training at Brooklyn Zoo NY! The first hour we'd train, the second hour we'd compete for prizes. The balance beam was actually the hardest thing for me in practice, but on this run balance went great.

Deadlift It!
This is Francesco (my longest client) hitting 320lbs deadlifts for 7 reps during an 8-week strength training phase. He's developed into one of the hardest working and most consistent gym goers I've ever met. I'm proud of his progress and accomplishments.
Though my passion is Gymnastic Strength Training, many of my clients come to me with specific goals and it's my job to guide them to achieve these #goals. A good coach bridges what is best for the client and what they want to achieve, not what the trainer decides the client's goals should be.

Box Jumps
Box Jumps! These are a little over 3.5 feet. I'm a big fan of box jumps and learning + improving jumping can be a lot of fun. If you're just beginning box jumps make sure you learn the proper form first.
See you in class! http://nickebnerfitness.com/

Rubber Cord Series 3: Shoulder Flexion
Rubber Cord Series 3: Shoulder Flexion Figure 8's + Circles
This is an excellent move to build healthy shoulders. We generally start with a 0.75 - 1.5 inch thick band. Flatten your spine while maintaining a straight arm. Setup is the same as the lat traction stretch in Rubber Cord Series 1, but once your shoulder is elevated we do figure 8's and circles in each direction to strengthen the rotator cuffs. I generally do 5-15 reps in each direction. This move is from Kit Laughlin's Stretch Therapy Shoulder Series.

Rubber Cord Series 2
Rubber Cord Series 2: Mobility for Biceps, Anterior Delts, and Pec Minor
This exercise is a shoulder/bicep floss. I find it effective for people who have tight anterior delts, biceps, and/or pec minor. If you've done a lot of bicep curls, bench press, and delt front raises, this move is your new best friend. We generally use 0.75 - 1.5 inch thick band. Note, if you're really tight through these lines, this move may not feel good. Use discretion if you've had any serious shoulder injuries or just come to Upper Body Mobility class on Sunday's at 11:05am and we can set you up for success!

Rubber Cord Series 1: Lat Traction Stretch
Rubber Cord Series 1: Lat Traction Stretch
This is a great move for improving shoulder strength + stability.
We generally start with a 0.75 - 1.5 inch thick band. Flatten your spine while maintaining a straight arm. In shoulder flexion, track the shoulder through elevation and depression. Many NEIF clients come to us with poor shoulder girdle health and this is one of my favorite moves for creating space, movement, and strength all-in-one. It can also be used as a warm-up or at the end of a #workout depending on how much resistance is applied, or if you hold it or do reps. I got this move from Kit Laughlin's Stretch Therapy Shoulder series.
