They're There For You

I'm going on again about training buddies (it may be just one particular guy or a whole bunch) - they are there for you, spotting, commenting, encouraging... and so often become more tan just gym friends. You like to spend time doing other things as well: friendships that can last years.

They can start young, too. We start today with a couple of training shots where the guys, hopefully well supervised by an adult specialist (and we believe that these particular examples are) are carefully starting to work together with weights they can safely handle in correct posture with their developing skeletal frames and very young muscle tissue, in support of their particular sporting ambitions. We wish them well, as they lead off our new collection of buddy pics emphaising their fitness goals and achievements...

A bit of stretching...

And 'play' wrestling, which can lead to competitive stuff later - these two are obviously enjoying their fight...

Gymnastics buddies:

Some 'bigger guy' comparisons...

A little acrobatic stuff...



...those Indian guys certainly need to be there for one another in their Mallenkamb,,,!

Buddies for sure, despite appearances!

More general stuff...

...arms around shoulders, big grins... definitely a 'buddy' giveaway!

And just FUN...

Is It 'Goodbye Younglifter.com'? (2023/352)

One month ago, the superb 'body image' site younglifter.com suddenly disappeared. It was a great site, known to afficionados as the 'green pages' and run by a guy in Chicago, Corin M. Hugely popular, and suddenly gone. Does anyone know why, or whether it has re-appeared under a new name? Meanwhile, here is our tribute to those 'young lifters' (and some not so young now!) - keep up the good work in your gyms, guys!   Yep - use whatever you have to hand!! Your own bodyweight will do fine... And some results: flex...come rain or shine... or hail!!... ...  So: is it "RIP, younglifter.com?" Not here, at any rate: we'll keep the fitness flag flying.

Gymnasts Today (2023/239)

 More on our favourite sport. Before the real stuff, though, a short sequence on how playtime can go wrong on the high bar! I don't have the first section, but you'll get the idea... The lesson is 'don't wear loose shorts on a bar' - I've had that problem if you don't keep clear of the bat when you should!   And, of course, things don't always go as well as they should: Random pics now - some action, some resting... A bit of specific training: Finally, a bit more gymnast fun stuff to finish - and this one doesn't go wrong!
