That's how it starts man. It doesn't take long to go from 1 to 5, after that it gets harder though. What kind of training do you do?
Yea, I've been training to do it for a while now.
Well, I try to avoid weightlifting, as it slows you down & puts more stress on your spine & joints. Many doctors told me I shouldnt lift weights until I get older, so I will probably give it a try in the future. I go to gym just when my friends ask me to go with them, lol, and I train with dumbbells and barbells like twice in a year
Although I heard on one of the tricking forums that since some of those guys doing flips, twists and sh!t had started to practise deadlift, they never had back problems again. So I sometimes practise deadlift, too, but I dont think my form is good, so I would like to ask an instructor to help me with it.
So I do just a lot of pushups, sometimes go swimming or do some pull ups.
And I find my way of improving strange. In December 2010, I was able to do 80 wide armed push ups (now I can do about 40) and managed to do just one ugly one handed push up (and I succeeded only twice that time, with loud crack in my back - other than that, I was unable to do it most of the time). Now I can do it quite easily. I guess it might be because I was doing a little weightlifting as a part of my training when I started to train athletics again in 2011.
And the same goes for muscle ups. When I was able to do 20 pull ups (pull ups, not chin ups), I was unable to do even just one single ugly muslce up. Then, about 6 months - 1 year later, I managed to do it. My form on muscle ups is horrible though.
