I’ve been working with joint preparation, mobility, and strengthening exercises for a long time—and over the years, this has become the most recognizable part of my method. In fact, my joint preparation program is now the most popular element of the entire system, and it’s changed thousands of my students life. Just to name a few examples—like larry, who started training with my method at age 60 after multiple surgeries and a herniated disc, and within a year, he learned to do the human flag. Or my women clients with office jobs who said goodbye to back pain and ended up doing pull-ups and even human flags themselves. The truth is, none of this came from just a textbook and I didn’t learn it in some course. It was something I developed through personal experience, over many years, studying the human body and through trial and error. The whole story goes back to high school, when I started gymnastics. Even back then we had a proper warm-up. It was a classic, old-school kind of routine: walking drills, skipping, jogging, arm swings, arm pulls, and a bit of general gymnastics. But there was nothing more targeted preparation —no real mobility work or specific joint preparation or strengthening exercises. As soon as the general warm-up was done, we went straight to the apparatuses: parallel bars, rings, pommel horse, and so on. That was the norm back then. The coach told you what to do, and you just did it. It stayed like that even when I moved up to the gymnastics club I competed after high school. By then, I was doing those warm-ups more out of habit than anything else. Then came a moment that changed everything. I was after a regular workout session, I had already done my stretching and decided to jump on the trampoline for some light bouncing. I did some flips that i usually did, and after saving a landing on my stomach - something that I did a thounsand times, I messed up my shoudler. It wasn’t a full dislocation, but I could feel that something was off. It didn’t work properly, and it hurt, so I knew something wasn’t right. When I tried to hang from the rings afterward, it felt like one side was looser—like it wasn’t stable anymore. That’s when I first started doing resistance band rehab exercises—rotations, front raises, lateral raises, and so on. I started doing them consistently, and I felt the difference. My shoulder became more stable, moved better, and the pain went away. That was my first real “aha” moment: if this helped so much with my shoulder, what if I applied the same concept to other joints? For example, back then everyone—including myself—used wrist wraps during pommel horse practice, because wrist and forearm pain was extremely common, especially in the early stages of training. So I started experimenting and Step by step, I began building a routine—a system. --------------------------------- SPECIAL ONE-TIME OFFER WITH LIFETIME ACCESS: https://gymnasticsmethod.com/specialo...
