Muscle Up-date

By Al Kavadlo | Published: May 23, 2011

A lot has been happening here at Team Al headquarters these last few months! Between the link love I’ve gotten at Mark’s Daily Apple, being featured on Ross Training and my recent article on Sherdog, lots of new visitors have been stopping by – not to mention all the people who’ve found their way here through fans and friends sharing posts on facebook and twitter (thanks guys!).

Bootcamp at Tompkins Square Park has also been going great and I’ve been staying busy working with my personal training clients (not to mention my own, personal training).

Looking Forward/Looking Back
In the months ahead, look for new articles on a variety of topics including injuries and injury prevention, muscle-ups and – everyone’s favorite – the human flag! I’m also planning a new front lever tutorial and more posts on nutrition.

In the meantime, I’ve put together a new highlight clip of some of my favorite moments from the last several months as well as some rarities and never before seen footage:

And for anyone who hasn’t seen my highlights from last summer, check out the clip below:

       Love it bro. Such an inspiration. Been great watching your human flag progression. Def gives me hope. Is that an Al original score in the first video too?

      That was Awesome. I can’t wait to be able to do half of the things you can.

      Thanks, Kevin!  Be patient and keep training hard!

      Thanks, Mike!  Hope isn’t enough though, you actually need to do the workouts!  :)

      And yes, I wrote and performed the music in both videos.  Glad you enjoyed!

      Hi Al!  Count me as yet another guy who has a “man crush” on you!  You and your brother are amazing!  I absolutely LOVE this site and am groovin’ on the videos.  You got me doing planks planks planks all day long! LOL

      Is your book available at the local bookstore or do I have to order it online?

      Thanks for all the great info and advice you give on this site.  U DAH MAN!!! :)

      Thanks!  

      For now, my book is only available through the website and at a few independent shops in NYC.  Keep on plankin’!

      Thanks Al! 

      I’m looking forward to your future videos and topics.  I’m interested in how you approach training for clients who have physical limitations and can’t perform a full range of motion and/or certain exercises.  For me I have shoulder issues that preclude some exercises. 

      Again, great site!  Keep up the good work and remember — WE’RE WORKIN’ OUT! :)

      Bro- I followed you over here from Marks page (gun5ling3r), you are what I aspire to be. Why didnt I see you on American Ninja Warrior kid??!! I am going to read your site in its entirety and then most likely bombard you with questions/advice!! Well done my friend.

      Thanks!  There is a lot of content here to keep you busy for a while – Enjoy!

      Alkavadlo, you guys are great. This site has so much information that I find so useful. One workout has completely failed me-Pull Ups. I can do sit-ups, dips, pushups-but pull ups just seem almost impossible. I weigh 224lbs so maybe loosing some of the weight will help. Your videos are just great and upbeat-very motivational for people like me. I hope I can find similar minded people around here-Fort Collins, CO with whom I can workout and attain my goal-staying fit by using body weight. I’ll let you know when I’m able to do those pull-ups! :-D

      Thanks!  Losing weight will definitely help you on your quest towards doing a pull-up.  Also check out this post if you haven’t seen it yet: http://www.alkavadlo.com/2010/09/learning-to-do-a-pull-up/
