Dear Coach Sommer,Thank you for your quality work. Due to very limited  consistent access to time/space/equipment;Is it possible to develop adequate strength/flexibility using fundamental static positions(chapter 4 Building the Gymnastic Body book),stiff legged windmills and jefferson curls,rope skip and running?Lifestyle is not allowing consistency with fundamentals stretch,movement,handstand courses..Or do I just get with the programme!!Much appreciated,Kyphotic dentist.

Hello Niall,

No, it is not.  Your body is designed for both straight and bent joint work.  To seek to train only one or the other is to in essence ignore half of your body.

Yours in Fitness,

Coach Sommer
