QUESTIONS:
How did you get involved in the street workout world?
I’ve always like pull ups, then saw few people doing front lever, back lever, and got exited to learn. After I achieved it, was hungry to learn more and focus a lot on strength training.
Why did you choose to practice street workout?
I think its fun, challenging, goal oriented sport, always pushing what your body can do.
How is street workout reflected in your life?
In very positive way, I feel better, more positive attitude towards people, welcoming, team player.
What are your short term, mid term and long term goals with street workout?
I really want to get stronger, like achieve OAP’s, Chin Up Heavy Weight (currently 80kg) want to lift 90kg.
How many times do you workout during the week?
I train almost everyday, go hard Monday to Friday, and on weekends something easy like stretching, running, abs session, just to let upper body rest for upcoming week.
Do you have any specific workout plan or you just improvise and do your thing?
Usually I improvise, find what works for my body. Definitely getting a lot of inspiration and ideas from street workout world, some routines, workout plans, then change them to myself.

Probably front lever. Just doing reps everyday, only way to learn, consistency and dedication.

Getting results, people around it, watching workout videos.

Can’t remember really.
What do you expect from the street workout community in the next couple of years?
Community is great, very friendly and supportive.
Can you give an advise for all the people that would like to start doing street workout?
Start with basics, focus on strength like pull ups, push ups, build up strong base then move on to workout elements.
