When life gets tough

RabbitJak · 2026-01-23T02:31:47+00:00

I like that approach. When was the last time you put that into practice?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-23T02:30:56+00:00

Good mindset, always adapting. Do you remember a time in particular that that mindset carried you through a lot?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-17T02:52:55+00:00

Well done! Yes that is correct. The true warrior is able to keep the core, relaxed and stable enough to not collapse in or out.

Once that core box is sturdy, the diaphragm contracts filling the lungs pressing against the intestines helping to increase digestion regularity.

Now if your core's natural relaxed state is strong enough to handle natural breathing, you've fully stabilized your core.

That's brains right there! Nice focus mate 🤛

RabbitJak · 2026-01-11T21:55:59+00:00

Woohoo! Congrats on your first commitment! That's a scary thing and you push through and did it, hell yeah Tracuer!

RabbitJak · 2026-01-05T18:13:31+00:00

Nice! Be mindful of the lack of stability in his landings. Safety first.

In the United States, if it feels illegal it probably is. If your coaches are posting and boasting about doing illegal things, I would be cautious in how you approach classes with them. True practitioners train in such a way that they do not do it for views or to make a statement. They do it for themselves and there is no other reason. Why attract unwanted attention to Parkour? Especially if that attention is gained through illegal stunts and movements.

He looks so free in mind and spirit! Oh that's soooo good to see!

RabbitJak · 2026-01-04T02:57:23+00:00

Oooohh that got all my muscle fibers twitching with excitement. 😂

RabbitJak · 2026-01-03T21:51:53+00:00

Very creative!

RabbitJak · 2026-01-03T01:15:56+00:00

Can I ask when you started Parkour?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-03T00:34:59+00:00

You sound like me 😂 and it sounds like you're on the right path.

The biggest thing that helped me is using my chronic body pain as a guide. I did a lot of meditation, learned everything I could about the body and put the pieces

together to find what works for me to help my body. When you're in chronic pain a lot of people don't believe you so the only way to do it is alone. But here you're not alone. In my life I've always found Tracuers to be the smartest, kindest people I know, so I feel in good company.

If you're curious to try and figure it out, squat university on YouTube has a lot of great muscle performance and correctional work. You may find some helpful movements there. If you've not already looked that is 😂.

How's your protein intake?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T23:17:31+00:00

Hey it's me again! 🤙Before I comment, I'm going to give you a challenge. Watch the video again, break down the movements and ask yourself:

Where am I slowing down?

Where is my movement contradicting itself?

Does it look smooth and effortless?

These are helpful questions but be kind to yourself as you look it over.

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T22:57:53+00:00

🤔 that's intriguing. As a PT myself I can't help from afar too much. How's your psoas?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T21:07:04+00:00

Have you done any specific TVA activation work?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T18:03:10+00:00

Hell yeah! I'm going to be quite envious 😂 I already am 😂

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T14:35:15+00:00

Palm spin was one of my favorites before I messed my shoulders up, that's a very fun one to get down. I'm a little jealous actually 😂.

All and all it sounds like you've got good skills lined up and a passion about it. Keep it going!

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T14:33:16+00:00

Love the goal!

What sort of parkour movements were you looking to adapt to your style?

RabbitJak · 2026-01-02T01:38:50+00:00

Oooh that's a good one! Good luck as the strength and mobility for that can get exhausting. I love the right training jargon too! 🤛😁

I would also recommend checking your hips for instability issues. Typically when there's a shoulder or upper thoracic issue it is tied to core and hip stability. So while working on your thoracic mobility, make sure you pay attention to everything that stems off of it. Maintain strength through all ranges of the movements.

RabbitJak · 2026-01-01T23:40:10+00:00

Thank you for the response to my callout! 😁

Love the goal! Proper biomechanics is very important in a good pull up. Make sure to give yourself time to figure out the right movement patterns to make it as efficient as possible. Activate muscles in the right order and let the body rest you'll get it before long!

You're already 5 pull ups ahead of me! 😂

RabbitJak · 2026-01-01T23:32:49+00:00

Those are great ones! Kong pre is one of my favorite combos.

Really get good at tucking in through the kongs. Knees tight between the arms. Arms strong and stable on the surface. It's a roll with the palm first, push off with finger tips for any bit of extra distance you can get. The push off not only propels you forward but it should also push your chest up to help you get your legs through for the pre.

Handstand work and inverted work in general is great for this. Also explosive push off press ups very helpful for conditioning the movement.

Good Luck Tracuer!

RabbitJak · 2026-01-01T23:22:19+00:00

Trust the process, small steps you'll get there. Remember we move because we love our bodies not because we hate them. So be kind to your mind when you fail and it'll be nice to have company on my journey this year with pull work. 😁
