F1 impressions

Im disappointed.

i came in to F1 with, as I thought, pretty decent strength. I’ve got to a point where slow bar muscleups is pretty easy, where I’m able to hang +15 kgs on my ring muscleups. Pull-ups and push-up-variations gets worked on a daily basis.

i picked up F1, eager to begin. Almost laughed at first RC-mastery progression, but worked up to it using too easy-smiley. As I also did on the rest of the workouts. Felt confident that the first mastery was mine by default. 

But what happened? The first RC-mastery crushed me . 

...and I loved every minute of it.

So I’m disappointed. Not in the foundations. But on myself for not starting this foundation-journey before.

thank you for a great program and a huge thank you for this humbling experience!

im going to get strong but this time I’m using the right tools. Your tools.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Johan. A lot of us started of with the same attitude, but it's important to remember that you are no stronger than your weakest link  keep working on those basics and share your progress with us

I was the same with the same thoughts about my strength levels  . I'm actually the weakest "body like stone" weakling there is 

love it though

its about time I found out 

good luck my friend

Haha @Johan Hägg, that could have been me posting a year and a half ago. At that time I had a big hope that I could work through the progressions in good pace and reach the final ones within 2-3 years. Little did I know.  Swallowing my pride I now really love working the basics and I'm really enjoying the process of rebuilding everything from scratch. There is no hurry anymore - slow but steady. I'm so glad I found this place! 

Thanks y'all!

Johan,

Welcome to the GB community! I agree, GymnasticBodies has a habit of helping people start off their journey the right way. With a beginner's mentality. 

Please keep us posted on the awesome strength and mobility gains that await you!

@Pauline Taube i am, very much indeed, enjoying this program. Humbling yes, but thats a good thing!

@Leigh Kettle its a humbling experience and im no longer afraid of loosing strength  thank you my friend! Good luck to you too!

@Thomas Nordman I’m agreeing with you 100%! Like you I’m really enjoying this! 5x15 or 5x60 secs is no joke and every step up is an achievement! Let’s get strong together!

@Mikey Cunanan thank you very much! This program is a gamechanger for me!

@Johan Hägg

Glad to hear  Looking forward to it!

Hi @Johan Hägg,

Welcome and thank you so much for sharing your experience. Your mentality towards training will bring you to a different level. Can't wait to see more of your progress.

It's pretty rare to see someone so strong yet so humble. The sky is your limit!

@Leo Trinidad Thanks alot! I’ll see where this journey takes me. I think I viewed training a bit childish before, like wanting everything right away ignoring much in between. Now, thanks to foundation I have a whole new way to look at my training and development. I’m enjoying the journey now!

@Jin Liu thank you for those words my friend, means alot to me! Lets get strong together!
