hey guys today is my first real training in 2018
I was injured pretty long
So I really have to get fit again
so my first intention for 2018 is to get fit
for that reason I decided to start this challenge
the hardest muscle soreness of last year was after the backflip circle challenge we did in summer
that day we did like 58 backflips in a row
after that my whole body did hurt for a whole week
so i think that backflips are one of the most effective exercise for the whole body
the challenge I set is to do 1.000 backflips in 4 weeks
I'm curious to see the effect
today I will do a pic without shirt so that you can see the transformation after the 4 weeks
I'm really curious if my sixpack gets better from the backflips
because the abdominals did hurt the most after the last backflip challenge
you can try it yourself
try to do as much backflips as possible in a row and you will definitely feel it the next day
my challenge is supported by area protein
they gave me some nice protein products
I will eat them after my training sessions over the ext 4 weeks
I have a list for the next 28 days where I will count the number of backflips
to warm up for this challenge I will start slow and will do 5 x 5 Backflips today
between the sets I will do a break of 1 minute
I think I can do one more set
so I have 30 today
today is the second day of the challenge
as expected my muscles are really sore today
I will try to do 30 backflips today
again 6 sets of 5 backflips with 1 minute breaks
and maybe I can ad one more set in the end
with the sore muscles its much harder today
the last one was very low
but I think I will do one more set
4th day of the challenge
I just arrived at the gym
I really don't want to go into the gym because my muscles are so sore
I slept 10 hours but still feel very tired
so first I will do a good warm up than I will try to do some flips
the last 5 for today
5th day of the challenge my muscles feels a little bit better
I think I could to some more
but I don't want do do too much
because than I will not be able to continue the challenge tomorrow
now I will stretch out and rest
6th day and I really don't want to do backflips anymore
but I have to go on with the challenge
my goal for today are 50 backflips
I will have a short rest than I will do one more set so that I can have a free day tomorrow
f#ck that is so hard
The first week of the Challenge is done
yesterday I had a full restudy
with 250 backflips in the first week I am exactly in the plan
this week I will try to do around 50 backflip per day
I will have some Parkour shootings this week
so maybe there will some days I can not do a backflip workout
but when I do 5 days with 50 backflips thats ok
Soon I will also start a diet
to see a better effect to my sixpack in the end of the challenge
I already fell that I have more power in the abs
let's go 50 backflips today
maybe the restudy was not the best idea
the 50 backflips today felt much harder today then the last time
9th day of the challenge
it gets harder from day to day to find the motivation to go to the gym
I will start with only 30 Backflips now
because I have a video shooting this evening and have to be fit there
maybe I will do some more Backflips after the shooting
I think you can already see an effect
to support that I will start my diet today and reduce carbs like pasta and bread
yesterday was the most exhausting day so far
with the two training sessions
first here in the gym and later in the trampoline park
there I was only able to do 12 more backflips
so it was 42 in total yesterday
today I will do an easy session with only 30-35 Backflips
because my abs are really tired
And I will have 2 complete days of Parkour filming this week
and I have to be fit than
so I will not go to the limit today
12th day
yesterday I did not do any Backflips
because I had the Parkour filming for the whole day.
so today I feel very tired
but I will try to do as much as possible
at least 20 Backflips today
enough for today
14th day of the challenge
halftim
to stick to the plan I would have to do 50 Backflips today
but I think 30 will be my maximum for today
I did 30 Backflips so I am 20 behind the plan
But I am confident to catch up these 20 Backflips next week
without my video shootings this week I could have make it easily
noe I have to push it next week a little bit more
But this challenge is really hard. even harder than I thought before
It will be definitely a tight result with the 1.000 Backflips in 4 weeks
Day 16. I actually thought it will get easier after 1-2 weeks.
But it feels like it is getting even harder every day
that's why I had to make a rest yesterday
to regenerate my body
I hope it will be better now
I really have to push myself the next days
my goal for today is 50 backflips
the first 20 felt like hell today
but than I found the right technique
and in the end I did 65
thats my new record so far
that brings me almost back to the plan
now I have to continue like that for the next days
tomorrow I have to film again
but after that I will try to go the the gym for some flips
hey guys today is day 18 of the challenge
like you can see I have short hairs now because of my stunt job yesterday
and I did not make it to the gym yesterday
so I have to do some more today
the minimum goal is 65 for today
70 today
I will stopp now, so that I will able to train again tomorrow
65 more than I thought
now I am done
lets see how much I can do tomorrow
day 20 of the challenge
I think you can already see a transformation
to continue with it I will do my next flips now
80 Backflips
my new record at this challenge
the training was awesome today
with 80 backflips I did a new personal record
now I am on my way to Hamburg
because I have a stunt job there for two days
I hope I will find some free time to do some backflips
the first day of my job was pretty relaxed so now I will go to the hotel gym to do some backflips
It is very little space here in the gym
that makes it pretty scary to do flips here
so 15 are enough for today
Hey guy, I am back in Berlin now
Unfortunately I got sick in Hamburg
I was not able to do any backflips for the last 3 days
I still feel a little bit sick
but I have only 4 days left
so I will test today if I am able to continue the challenge or if I have to quit it
225 Backflips are left for the last 4 days
I will try how it feels to train today
if it feels ok I will try to make it in the 4 weeks like I planed it
If not I will take some more days off and than I decide if I will continue or just add the days I need
lets go. Today I will just do sets of 3 Backflips
at least I did 30 flips today
now I will relax and hope that I am good tomorrow
only 3 days left
I am still not really fit
but I decided to go on with the challenge
so today I have to do 60 Backflips, tomorrow 65 and 70 at the last day
I will continue with sets of only 3 backflips
and will do longer breaks between the set
to avoid that I will get sick again
last round
I made the 60 backflips
now I will go home and drink some tea
Today I feel much better than yesterday
I forgot to load the batteries and have to film with my phone today
I hope it will not look too bad
I will keep it with the sets of 3 backflips in a row
and will try to do 65 today
66 today
I am really happy that I made even one more than I planed to do
I feel that my muscles are really tired now in the neck and abs
I hope I will be fit enough tomorrow to finish the challenge
finally its the last day
I feel a little bit sore
but I will definitely finish the challenge today
I am 100% motivated to do the last 69 of the 1000 backflips today
only 10 flips are left
I will have a short break
and than I will do them in a row
last 10 of the 1.000
the 1000 backflips are done on the last day of the 28 days I made it
I am super happy that I finished it and did not give up
over the 4 weeks there were some days I was close to give up and stopp the challenge
In the beginning there were some days when I had the feeling that it is just to much for my body and that I can't make it
and when I got sick I also thought that there is no way to get fit again in time to finish it before the 4 weeks deadline
but in the end I made it
and I am really exited for the result
I will now show you again the shot from the first day of the challenge
so you can compare it with the shape of my upper boy from today
I definitely feel an increase of power in my complete upper body
and my condition got much better too
also I can jump much higher at my backflips
and I developed the technique of my backflips a lot
because I had some points in the challenge where I just did not have enough power for bad technique
and I had to find the perfect technique for myself to safe as much power as possible
and be effective with my movements
So if you want improve your backflip technique this challenge is a good way to do so
