205: Christopher Sommer: How To Build Muscle And Mobility With Gymnastic Strength Training

Brief Bio: Christopher Sommer is former US national team gymnastics coach. During his extensive 40-year coaching career tens of thousands have benefited from the knowledge of Coach Sommer. The conditioning that created hundreds of National, State and Regional champions was adapted and scaled in a way that bridges the poor flexibility and strength of most adults with the possibilities opened up by high-level gymnastics. This led to the birth of GymnasticBodies. Entire new trends in bodyweight training and culture have formed as a result of GymnasticBodies and many students have become successful both in physical prowess and in life.
