If you loved the Pavel, Poliquin, or Dom D’Agostino episodes,
you'll love this one. My guest this episode isChristopher Sommer
(GymnasticBodies on Instagram/Facebook), former US national
team gymnastics coach. He is also the founder of GymnasticBodies,
a training system that I’m currently testing (and have no
affiliation with). As a world-renowned Olympic coach, Sommer is
known for building his students into some of the strongest, most
powerful athletes in the world. During his extensive 40-year
coaching career, Coach Sommer took meticulous notes on his
training techniques—his wins and failures—so that he could
translate the best elements into a superior exercise system for
both high-level and beginner athletes. His four decades of
careful observation led to the birth of Gymnastics Strength
Training (or GST). In this episode, we cover A TON, including:
The 3-5 exercises everyone should be doing (you’ve never heard of
some of them) His opinions of kipping exercises, such as the
kipping pull-ups common in CrossFit What bodyweight goals
non-gymnasts should target Which exercises to remove from the gym
entirely, at least in the first 6-12 months of training How to
optimize biceps strength and mass with straight-arm work And
much, much more... I also asked Coach Sommer to gather some
interesting stuff (samples, videos, etc.) at
gymnasticbodies.com/tim, so take a gander. I don’t get any
compensation for any of it; I just want people to consider more
bodyweight training. I’ve found it revelatory and mind-expanding.

brought to you by Exo Protein. These guys are making protein bars
using cricket protein powder. Before you look disgusted, I bet
they taste better than any protein bar you’ve ever had before!
With recipes that were developed by a three-Michelin-star chef,
the bars are paleo-friendly, with no gluten, no grains, no soy,
no dairy, and they won’t spike your glycemic response. In fact,
they’re less processed than any other protein bars you’ll be able
to find. Exo Protein is offering a deep discount to Tim Ferriss
Show listeners — if you go to ExoProtein.com/Tim, you can
try a sampler pack with all of the most popular flavors for less
