This is Mauro Sulcis, he’s the gym instructor at work and used to be a gymnast in his teens … I think he put this together as a kind of demo for stunt / acting work.
Class Ruairi!! That boy got skillz!
What’s the cutoff on Diane for those attempting it rx’d?
Advanced class is on at 5.30 Eamonn. We close CFI about 9pm.
That gymnastics video is unreal!
Does anyone know why gymnastics is seen as a girlie sport here in Ireland? I saw an ad for gymnastics classes starting during the summer and it says girls only allowed, i dont get it. The strongest and fittest girls by far that i have met during my time working as an instructor are gymnasts, undoubtedly boys/men would benefit massively from the same training.
I think it’s the floor event Ger. If gymnastics just consisted of the still rings, high bars, parallel bars, vault and the pommel horse everyone would think male gymnasts were total badasses. All that dancing around and striking poses makes people think its a girlie endeavor though.
“Advanced class is on at 5.30 Eamonn. We close CFI about 9pm.”
Ah crap I was actually hoping for a cutoff. Gonna be a long session at the gym tonight.
Mauro is a brilliant guy wt many skills. Was training in a gym a bit under him few years ago. nope, still can’t do what he did in the video thou.
Colm/Will, what’s the “mini Diane” for novices tonight? can only DL 60kg last time. don’t think handstand will work on a bad wrist.
Will,
true enough, the posing lark isn’t exactly masculine. If they did away with that you’d have all the G.A.A heads and rugger buggers doing it!
I was showing a few 18-22 year old lads hspu the other day and it was basically just a bunch of lads falling about and banging their heads. I called over a 17 years old girl gymnast to demonstrate the hspu and she bangs out 5 perfect head to floor and fully locked out reps. She put them in their place!
Mart,
We’ll have heavy deads and push ups as the novice workout. We can scale pretty much everything we do down here at CFI.
