Strength and Mobility Training Logs
An honest look at the process. These logs document my own journey—from injury recovery to mastering new skills—proving that real progress is built on consistency, not hacks.
Rinse and repeat. A typical training day, mixing mobility work like Jefferson curls with skill work like handstands. This is the daily grind.
Wise words from the great Nas. A little Monday motivation showing a mix of mobility and handstand work.
Off-season gains. Pushing the sled is a great way to build conditioning and leg strength. Just one more rep.
A fun mobility drill for shoulder internal and external rotation. It's not always serious; sometimes you just have to play with movement.
Eat, sleep, train, repeat. A glimpse into the focused routine of a training camp in Bali, including cold plunges for recovery.
Some rest and recovery in a beautiful setting. Here I'm working on a handstand press on parallettes during a vacation.
More vacation training. A mix of handstand press work and just enjoying the movement in a new environment.
About Training Logs & Personal Progress
You see videos of clean handstands and mobility drills, but the reality is often messy: three years of falling, managing tennis elbow, and days where I just didn't want to move. I document these logs not to show perfection, but to show that real gains are built on repetition. Whether it is a Jefferson curl or a sled push, the only way to get better is to show up, do the work, and accept that progress is rarely linear.
Why I Document My Training
I don't post these logs to show off what I can do today. I post them to show how I got there. When I founded Troop in Domlur, I wanted a space that reflected my own search for sustainable fitness—training that builds you up rather than breaking you down.
The Reality of Consistent Work
Progress isn't about the one highlight reel moment. It's about the boring stuff:
- Injury Prevention: My logs often feature 'boring' rehab work for my shoulders. If you train hard, you need to train smart. I don't believe in pushing through pain; I believe in loading tissues properly to bulletproof your joints.
- Skill Acquisition: The handstand journey you see in these clips took me three years. There are no hacks. If you're struggling with a skill, it's not because you aren't talented; it's because you haven't put in the necessary, repetitive, undistracted hours.
- Sustainable Strength: We use a mix of calisthenics, gymnastics rings, and weighted strength training. The goal isn't just to look fit; it's to have the capacity to move well for the next decade.
