barries broken


just a little update on me training this week. Me little bro waas out training with us thursday whitch is mostly strength and technical training ect we did a lot of climbing whitch we have not done in a long while so it felt nice to get down to some of this we had to climb across the outside of the libary the main idea behind this exersice was team work and trust my bro really surprised me and his self when we got to this one bit where you have to climb on to an edge and do a cat to cat me bro found this the most challengeing but didnt give up he just kept trying and in the end he suceeded the rest wasnt so bad so after this we stoped for a break and then went to these blue bars to drill balance and some strength i really surpried myself with this i manged to do 12 muscleups a new personal best and get me 180 muscleups so i was very chuffed.


we made a move fot TJS where we did more balaence and climbing i manged to really push my monkey to cats really hgh as i was reaching new height i didnt think possible with them and onley with a three step run i think i did pretty well after this we made a move for the bike locks to finish up are strength training and then we did a huge monkey crawl this got the legs burning for are cool down. Today (saturday) was also very fun got lots of technical stuff done and the control on my presecions has improved and i manged to spot so many new movements whitch was good fun after about 4hours of this we played round with some good old tricking ive got some nice kicking combos comeing on and after this we did a nice cool down and headed for home thanks everyone for a good week cyas all soon.

I am awake


As i am writeing this sore and dead from what has to be my best manchester jam to date i feel like ive grown that ever bit stornger and i think my confidence in my body is what has improved the most. Now am onley going to wright bits about what ive done today as we did so much id probally be here for hours sarcasim. Right where to start well the day started with me geting up at 7 and haveing breakfest and meeting craig, kev, pete and ken just want to say congrats to ken and pete the time ive been training with these guys ive seen vast improvements when we reached manchester we did a nice long warmup and got are selfs going with some nice little movements. There was this huge wallrun where you can grab a small ledge and then grab the top of the wall next to the ledge but no one had done the wallrun dean was looking at it with a few others so i had to give it a try when it was my turn i didnt think i just felt on the movement and bang i did it first go i was really chuffed after spending what must have been 3 hours we moved to some more nicer spots where we pracsed flow and strength ect the thing i loved about the day was it was so hot you could just rip ya top of which i did but not litrally rip it lmao now the thing that caught me of the day was this huge huge catleap every one was looking at i looked at it and again didnt think just felt i jumped and felt my body slip in to what i call a sliding cat and bang i had done it doing this jump was more than just parkour to me after doing this jump i felt awake i felt a calming moment in my mind which stuck with me the rest of the day and even as am writeing this now still is there. Right wouldd like to say thanks to everyone for a really amazeing day college had been geting me down but today has really strengthed me not onley on my parkour but life as a whole thank you eveyone look forward to training with yas soon.

another platu another a new challenge


Right where to start on this thing got in to liverpool on saturday of the new month me and kevan jogged up to st georges hall to get warmed up witch involved a nice 5minute jog and then a grueling monkey crawl from one end of the hall to the other to my surprise i have really improved on it the first time i did it i was panting like anythink but this time i had onley a light sweat.
at this point we met up with our freind ken hes a cool guy. We headed of to what every one calls the apetous spot where we did some nice little movements to prepare are bodys for the more grueling movements ahead. Why we was there we did lots of nice little movements the one that i liked the most was the 180 cat we was doing i started with the smaller section and built my way out till i did the more difficult one with i did pretty good after this we moved over to some rails to play around where we met up with danny,mat and the rest of the group and then went to the fountains to have a little play around. When we was there i was looking at going in to a dash to turn vault now let me tell you this was very scary as it was my first time doing it with a drop on the other side it took me a few tries to get it but nailed it the end and then spent the day just doing that basiclly after this i moved on to some flow we had to get up these huge pillars and back down them the fastest we could wich proved to be very fun. Most of the day was just flow and and foot placement after that also got some nice tree work done. After this we went the univerty where me and kahild was looking at this pretty big monkey to cat i felt i could do it but apart of me told me am best waiting till anotherday in a way am happy knowing i know my limits and when to walk away. The rest of the day was just playing round with new and old movements then a nice cool down wich involed a jog around the gardens and then a nice 5minute stretch of and then after this we went subway and said are good byes. Thanks for a good day every one the atmosphere was geat and every one worked hard now i think its time for a well earned rest and a shower lol
