#61 - The Secrets Of Bodyweight Training Revealed By Gymnastics Coach - Christopher Sommer


Listen Later

Christopher Sommer is a former US national gymnastics coach. With over 40 years of experience, you'll be gaining a wealth of wisdom from this podcast. I first stumbled across his book building the gymnastics body in 2009.. Without Christopher's principles, the world of bodyweight strength training and calisthenics would not be what it is today.
