Also, my brother came home from America today, and he had bought me a pair of great training gloves. They will apply perfectly for what I am aiming to do in my workouts. I`m gonna head up to Tufteparken as soon as I have settled down in Oslo. This is were I can improve my street workout routines and positions, and start training on the baiscs to become a stronger perfromer.

THE CORE WORKOUT MAKES UP FOR IT

Yesterday I tried to find some of the best exercises for back and shoulders, if you, like me, don`t have access to a chinup bar. I searched the internett, I contacted people who is experienced with street workout and calisthenics. One of the exercises that came up was called L-sit. I wrote it down in my program of the day. If you feel like the routines on back and shoulders isnt tough enough (cause I wasnt satisfied), I can promise you that the core section of the program won`t disappoint.
