SQUAD ASSEMBLE 🔥
Today’s meet-up was awesome, we had some of the Cali Kids come along!
As well as people from @derbycalisthenics thank you Cam for spreading the word!
But we also had squad appearances from @al_47@franklinphysiotherapy and @coachingwithnay ❤️🏆💪🏻
We just about dodged a downpour 🌧️ and the sun came out for us ☀️
We can’t wait to do more of these over the next few months!
Some of my moves from the 3 Nations Calisthenics Cup in Ireland. Even though team UK didn't win, I had such a great time being a part of the competition, showing off my statics skills and was an honour to be a part of the male statics UK team with @traineasyy@cameron.rolfe and @cijey254 🇬🇧🤘🏻
It was also great to be back at @bar_monkey_gorey who did an excellent job at hosting the event and was a pleasure seeing all the other athletes perform at such a high level 💪🏻
A massive well done to team Ireland 🇮🇪 for retaining the trophy 🙌🏻 and to team Scotland who came runners up 🏴
And as always, thank you to coach @lynch_sw who has got me comp ready once again, believed in me and for pushing me to my max 👊🏻

Some clips from today's Power and Freestyle categories @bar_monkey_gorey 💪🏻 A massive well done to all the athletes who took part, they put on an amazing performance 🙌🏻 and well done to team Ireland for retaining the 3 Nations Cup 🇮🇪🥳 @uk_calisthenics_org #calisthenics
Some snippets from day one of the 3 Nations Cali Cup @bar_monkey_gorey@uk_calisthenics_org Such a great day, a massive well done to everyone involved who made this happen and to the all athletes that took part 💪🏻 I'll put some of my own clips up soon 😁
In just a few moments we went from reaching, to pushing 💪🏻🤝
The transition from tuck to advanced tuck is one of the most challenging in the Planche journey, we go from compression to hip flexor extension whilst maintaining posterior pelvic tilt
This astute of you will see that there are a few differences in how Alex loads and performs the hold,
The sweatbands move to his elbows to give his biceps and forearms more support
He pushes his hips away from@the floor, rather than reaching them@to@the ceiling
His gaze is forwards rather than down
These 3 things transformed the movement entirely,
This is the benefit of having an attentive technical coach, we analyse- not to put you down but to give you the methods and tools to lift yourself up 💪🏻
Good luck this weekend Alex 🔥
THIS SATURDAY!
@al_47 returns to the competition scene for his first statics battles of the year 🤘🏻 he’s been putting in the work over the past few months to get his sets polished with that signature Axel Fury form 👀
At the 3 Nations Calisthenics Cup, organised and hosted by @bar_monkey_gorey in Ireland 🇮🇪
The event of the year awaits, let’s go Alex! 🏆
A very poignant day @crufts today as this year my late Dad would have been showing his Giant Schnauzer, Bette. Still a great place to go, I'll never get tired of seeing all the different breeds in Discovery Dogs 🐕
Advanced tuck Alex | @al_47 🐐
Alex has had a personal mission this year to nail down the advanced tuck planche, getting those knees away from the chest 🤝
We realised that it was the connection with the activation that was missing, focusing on posterior pelvic tilt and glute activation
This is one of the harder gaps in skill to navigate on the planche journey, the lever shift, the lack of compression, the lean
It all comes together making this a new level
We added the block as a frame of reference for the activation (it’s easier if the lower body is grounded to activate when first learning)
Extremely proud of his journey in just 4 sessions 🤝🏆
Coach | @lynch_sw
@al_47 | return of the GOAT 🐐
Alex is back!
We’ve got some clear goals in our sights, time to build back that endurance 🏆💪🏻🤝
@schoolofstatics | online & hybrid coaching
Here he is…. The GOAT 🐐
It’s @al_47 birthday today! 🎂 🎉
What an honour it has been to watch him grow as a friend and athlete 🏆
Speaking to the judging panel at the 2025 Statics Nationals, one piece of feedback kept getting mentioned
“Everything is clean 🧼 and he’s getting his holds”
Alex has really committed himself over this past year, his mission was to surpass his previous levels of performance and he smashed it out of the park 🔥
Becoming Regional Champion of the Midlands 🏆
And Vice National Champion in the UK 🇬🇧 🥈
The work has been serious, the sessions have been fun (for me) - looking forward to seeing where this year takes him!
Extremely proud coach & friend @lynch_sw
