Strength and Mobility Training Logs

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.
