Welcome to issue 3 of Unconventional
Athletes. Here, you will find out what it
takes to execute a backflip correctly and
safely under the guidance of a Pro Bar
Athlete and calisthenics expert. We've
got odd-object lifting for strength and
stamina! Thinking of becoming a stunt
man? Then read ahead to learn the basic
prep! You'll also see familiar faces in this
issue; original contributors, who come
bearing effective and unique tips and
tricks to help you in your journey. You'll
also get to grips with a very impressive
and highly regarded move; The Muscle
Up!
This magazine is designed for people
who think outside the box when it comes
to fitness training. I mean, times change
and we evolve! Long ago, everybody
believed that the earth was flat and not
round, and anybody that objected to this
train of thinking was belittled. It turned
out that the minority were right! So I
invite you to keep an open mind, as
'conventional' is not always practical.
This magazine will help you move
forward, evolving your fitness and skills
to the next level. I can guarantee you will
learn some very cool skills and training
methods; most of which you would've
never heard of. The world is becoming a
more volatile place and walking the
streets with a confident and positive
mind-set will make an aggressor less
likely to be drawn to you. If you have a
lack of confidence in your strength and
ability, then it will be shown in your
posture, body language, and even
subconsciously from the pheromones
produced in your sweat. They can smell
your fear!
If you want fast results and to be at the
top of your game, then this is the
magazine to help you evolve and be
confident. This magazine, and the others
to follow are dedicated to bringing you
many years of practical experience from
experts in the unconventional training
community. The guys who write for this
magazine have a fountain of knowledge.
They have not merely just done a short
course on unconventional training; they
have lived it, breathed it, practiced and
perfected the art for many years. As Albert
Einstein would say: "All knowledge is
experience", and let's be honest - Albert
knew his stuff. There's a chance you've
come here because you're bored of the
gym, and are paying lots of money on a
membership - only to fail to get the
functional, agile and strong body that you
desire. You're seeing dudes on the internet
doing crazy, cool stuff, and you want to be
able to do that too! You want something
different and to experience training
methods that are not only going to get
your body in good shape but your mind as
well. We'll teach you to use nature as your
playground and make/explore alternative
equipment that will enhance you to
levels - that you never thought possible!
You will learn to train in all weather, so
there is never an excuse. Nature is an
unconventional athlete's greatest tool! So,
if you are an unconventional newbie, don't
worry we are here to help!
We don't do things the 'conventional’way
(that wouldn't be practical or fun!) and we
don't spend all our time rigidly stuck at
the gym. Training at home or being
outside with nature is where it's at! No
grunts from the big guys down the gym,
no judgement from others - just you, your
bodyweight and unconventional training
equipment - Giving you the edge! The
world is changing fast, and I for one know
that being fit and strong enough to
protect your family is not optional, and
preparation for this should be part of your
routine! Learn from the best, add to your
existing skill set, and reap all the
knowledge from our athletes to improve
yourself beyond what you thought
possible!
