Strength and Mobility Training Logs
These logs are not polished highlight reels. They are the raw, daily drills—from ring rows to planche holds—that build real movement capacity and consistency.
One year of semi-consistent work. Sometimes I feel stuck, but looking back at old training videos shows that I've been inching forward all along. Progress is slow but steady.
New training phase, same grind. Here I'm working on some floor mobility in our green space at Troop HQ.
Working on single-leg balance and strength with a pistol squat progression on a box. This kind of unilateral work is great for identifying and fixing imbalances.
A simple wall hold. Sometimes the most basic drills are the most important. It's all about putting in the time.
Back to work after a short hiatus. This is a weighted ring row, a great exercise for building pulling strength.
Ring pushups with feet elevated. This is a tough variation that really challenges your chest and shoulder stability.
Another angle of the elevated ring pushups. The instability of the rings forces much greater muscle activation compared to a standard pushup.
About this collection
You see the clean form in these videos, but they do not capture the days where the movement felt disjointed or heavy. Whether I am working on a tuck planche or ring pushups, the goal is always the same: building tension and control. If you are struggling with your own progress, it is usually because you are rushing the foundations. We focus on the rinse and repeat cycle here, ensuring the joints are prepped and the stability is there before moving to the next level.
Training for skills like the one-arm pull-up or the freestanding handstand is rarely linear. My personal logs are a testament to that, featuring months of holding, falling, and adjusting. I use the gymnastics rings not because they are trendy, but because they provide immediate feedback on stability that a static bar cannot match. When I am working on ring pushups or rows, every micro-adjustment matters.
At Troop HQ in Domlur, we apply this same methodology. We do not chase high-volume exhaustion. Instead, we look at movement through a lens of longevity. If you come in for a session, we are not just going to run through a circuit. We will break down your scapular position, check for rib flare, and address the mobility restrictions that stop you from hitting the next progression.
Whether you are a complete beginner trying to figure out your first wall hold or you are someone who has hit a plateau in your calisthenics journey, the process remains the same. It is about understanding the tension, respecting the recovery, and showing up even when the session feels like a total flop. If you are ready to stop guessing and start building, let us get you into a routine that lasts.
