Apply these cues and visuals to today’s muscle up skill builder.
@bedlamstrong Muscle up Skill work is making its way back into our skills section on Tuesdays. Creating more awareness around how we swing on the rings is important to build a foundation and develop stronger shapes. .
.
Posted @withrepost • @cassg22 🔻Tension on the Rings 🔻
.
.
.
There are three really important shapes to hit when you’re in the bottom portion of your swing in a muscle up.
•Hollow •Neutral/Vertical
•Arch/Superman .
.
The photo and video comparisons show the difference between tension on the rings when maintaining tight shapes vs not.
Your body and the rings create a unified system. When there is a break in that system the result is a loss of tension.
Tension = POWER 💥
.
.
If your muscle up swing looks like the bottom you’re either not able to achieve it or are having use more energy to get on top of the rings. .
.
Practice creating smoother lines and staying tight throughout the swing.
Push down on the rings as you Superman and pull back on the rings as you hollow. 😬👍🏽

Comparison is the thief of joy.
When you shift your focus towards self instead of what others are doing, you find you start progressing faster than before.
Train harder for YOU.
Lift heavier for YOU.
Eat to fuel your body for YOU.
Root for others and encourage their work while knowing that you’re on your own journey and capable of so much too.
There is only one of you. Respect your uniqueness and revel in your own accomplishments. 🙌🏽

Special shoutout to this father-son duo on their outstanding performances this weekend at @poweroutput .
@wytt.w competed in the TEEN division and let his competitor spirit shine! He snagged himself the top spot 🥇 and even PRD his thruster during competition. 🙌🏽
His father Paul, was among a stacked group of individuals representing the 50+ group. He fought with all his might despite having an injury and earned himself a 🥈 finish.
You two have worked very hard over the years and we hope that this weekend reminded you that no matter what age you are, the competitive spirit never weakens or dies. Keep it up y’all 🙌🏽

In order for anything to work for you in life there needs to be a consistency of effort.
How big or small will vary on the day but giving what you can will outweigh not giving anything at all.
The goals you’ve set are not going to magically appear before you.
Your hope for a successful tomorrow rests on what you put in today.
If a program isn’t giving you the results you’ve been looking for, ask yourself
•Am I eating optimally to maximize my progress?
•Am I drinking enough water to aid in absorbency of nutrients and digestion?
•Am I getting enough sleep and managing my stressors?
•Am I looking within and taking care of my mental well being?
If the answer is no to any of those than perhaps a shift in effort towards those areas will help you move in the direction you’re seeking. If the answer is yes to all of those than it likely means a program shift could help to provide a more progressive stimulus.
Being “healthy” or “fit” is a balance of lifestyle choices designed to give your body what it needs physically and mentally to thrive and perform for you. It’s not just about the hour or two hours you workout a day. You can’t out work poor lifestyle choices. High effort in one area does not cancel out no effort in another.
You are worth showing up for.
You are worth the effort.
You can achieve what you want.
A little bit goes a lot further than nothing.
It doesn’t have to be perfect or 100%.
You just have to be consistent.

Hello Friday, it’s so good to see you again.
You’ve got another day to change your life and someone else’s.
It’s the little things that make a difference.
Share a smile,
Ask someone how their day is going,
Reach for a hug or high five,
And enjoy the breath in your lungs.
You’re alive and it’s good to have you here.
Let’s crush this day and get this weekend started off!
#bedlamstrong
Research shows that if you smile while on the airdyne your power output stays the same but at least your attitude is in a better place. 😝
#bedlamstrong
You’re not going to get better if you’re on the ground staring at what could be.
Take the leap,
Try,
Fail many times,
and keep trying.
One day, you’ll have a hard time keeping your feet on the ground.
#bedlamstrong
It’s week 5! Let’s start it off with a B A N G!
What goals do you have set for yourself this week?
What is your plan to accomplish them?
Let us know below! 👇🏽
#bedlamstrong
“Bedlam is a place where I can be challenging myself, set goals for myself, but also work along side professionals and people who can encourage me every day; and do it alongside my friends. It’s been the perfect spot for me to create my own community within San Antonio.” - @pharrout_west
Why workout alone when you can do it alongside some of the coolest human beings you’ll ever meet? 😃
A place to meet friends,
Find a family,
Not worry about strangers ogling you or hogging up equipment.
Find a home.
Happy Friday everyone. Cheers to the weekend!
If you’re not having fun you’re not doing it right.

August came quick and there’s no doubt you’ve seen those school supply shelves stocked and ready for the new year at your local grocer.
Please join us in collecting school supplies for children in need for the 2021-2022 school year! A little goes a long way for these kiddos and your contribution helps to keep them on task and ready for whatever assignment comes their way. 🤗
Over the past 6 years we’ve been able to give back to our community in a big way. Let’s make this another year we can provide for our young superheroes who need it most. 🤗
Swipe to the next image for a basic school supply list required by most students. You can drop off items in the office at the gym for the next 2 weeks!

Motivation is fleeting.
It’s inconsistent.
It is unreliable.
It can only get you so far.
It isn’t the fuel that fills your tank on the road to achieving your goals.
If motivation is all that you rely on to get you through your day than it is likely you haven’t decided to commit to something with great intensity.
A goal you want to achieve at all costs doesn’t worry itself if motivation is present. You either do the work to get there or you don’t.
There will be days you don’t want get up, workouts you’d rather skip, meals you’d rather not prep, and mental health work you’d rather put off.
It’s a normal part of life. It’s a part of what it takes to get what you really want. Doing what you have to do even when you don’t feel like doing it.
You cannot depend on motivation to be your Hero. You’ve got to depend on yourself. Dedicate yourself to why you’re doing this in the first place and fan those flames instead.
If that WHY isn’t working?
Change it.
Create your path in such a way that works for you and allows you to reach your success with all of the work you do, and when you get there…
Keep doing it.
Success is never guaranteed.
Stay hungry Bedlam, let’s eat!!
#bedlamstrong
Instead of wishing for the day to come when the motivation will push you to make a move; make that choice yourself.
Monday, Let’s go!
#bedlamstrong
Today’s forecast is HOTTTTTT
Seriously though, the combination of a 95 degree high and this humidity will bring the heat index to about 110 🥵
We like to stress the importance of staying hydrated not just on days you exercise but EVERY DAY.
Summer brings heat and lots of fun outdoor activities that may include consumption of more adult beverages than your usual.
When your body doesn’t receive adequate amounts of fluid it can highly affect processes in your body that must occur in order to run efficiently.
Water helps with:
💧 Performance
💧 Healthy skin
💧 weight loss
💧 aids in digestion and nutrient absorption
💧 regulates body temp and improves waste removal
💧 brain function and mood booster
and much more.
Water is life!
#bedlamstrong

Wishing all the dads and father figures out there a great day. We appreciate your hard work and all that you do for your loved ones and community.
Happy Father’s Day!

An oldie but a goodie
In today's workout you have the option to do muscle ups.
Here are a couple things to
remember:
💥maintain tension on the rings by constantly pulling down on them as you're making your hollow and arch shapes.
💥Stay long by squeezing EVERYTHING and keep your legs straight. Scorpion legs means loss of tension.
💥The more you pull to your HIPS the higher you will catch in your dip. Practice with some hip to rings as you warm up.
💥Be aggressive in the turnover, much like when you snatch, the turnover should never be passive.
Have fun today y'all!
