Today we're featuring fit guys showing us how well they have trained in order to hold strong positions like levers and planches. Some of the examples also include younger lads who are showing us that they are travelling the same road. First up, an excellent 'back scale' on the rings, admired by a friend: this should be perfectly horizontal and requires considerable work on back and shoulder muscles to achieve. The only thing he should do better is to point his toes (stretch the feet):   Here's one on the bars, seen from below:  Here's a real trickster: strength and balance too: a 'crocodile' one-hander on the slack wire...  Here's another croc, showing the strength in the back to give the slender arch we need for perfection: This guy is halfway to a one-arm croc but has mastered the straight body required on the way to the arch:   If the legs were together in this next one, it would be a 'dragon flag' with a perfectly straight body resting only

The 'One Special Person' I have in mind is your training partner! Great minds thinking alike, same goals, offering encouragement and inspiration to one another. You can't beat that for motivation! Ideally, neither wants to be better than the other, and each wants their buddy to be as good as they are. BINGO! Here are some great-looking training couples.
