Why Every Athlete Should Be Doing STRICT Toes To Bar

During a Power Monkey Fitness Gymnastics course in Washington DC, Dave Durante begins his lecture on Toes to Bar by stressing the importance of why every athlete should be adding the strict version of this movement into their training...this includes competitive athletes and seasoned CrossFit Games competitors...find out WHY!
Additionally, strict Toes to Bar are not only a strength based movement for the core and hip flexors. They also have a large mobility piece to it, one focused on compression. Limiting factors here could come by way of tight lower back, or tight hamstrings.

Dude I’m a pretty decent powerlifter that just switched over to CrossFit and yea I can’t do the unbroken toes to bar with kipping, my upper quad hip flexors seized up so bad and I can’t even lean forward due to mobility, time to seriously improve 👏

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Everything is a progression my friend. Take purposeful steps towards your goals and you will get there quicker than you think.💪🏽

Dave, you’ve been on my sometimes every day. I’m a calisthenics athlete and I have nothing but the upmost respect for what you say and do. In my eyes you set the bar. Love Yolie from Japan man! Fukuoka Barstarzz

Paranoia for strict t2b being part of the next Cf open workouts start in 3,2,1..

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

[@EpiphanyMindChange]

Good luck self. Here we go

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Get it!

[@lautaromalmierca1719]

Nice video bro! How many reps and sets we're looking for the compressions?

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

Typically we do sets of 10. And depending on how much your quads seize up...3 sets

Thoughts on using ab straps if grip strength isn't good?

[@PowerMonkeyFitness]

We would recommend focusing on improving ones grip strength as it translates to so many movements and we would never want that to be a limiting factor. Using ab straps will increase the disparity between your grip and core strength.
