Is 26 too old to start gymnastics?

*thwwwwrrrrrrrpppbtt*

Gymnast here. Definitely too old if you have Olympic aspirations but you could become excellent at any number of different acrobatic disciplines (tricking, tumbling, hand balancing, etc) in a few years time.

You could get at least as good as Ido Portal. He sucks but normies are impressed by him. My advice would be to find a local gymnastics club that has an open gym and go in then. Just play around on the equipment. Also go to acrobolix.com - Jujimufu's website, he has a bunch of tutorials on there from when it used to be purely a tricking site.

Good luck anon, doing flips is the best. I highly recommend it

Don't forget about the Shiller or all Shills Coach Sommer and his Foundation series, and it's cringey marketing.

>>41449678

>>41449696
Looks like she got full implanted desu, lips, tits and ass.

>>41449707

Ass for sure. Compare the webm to some of her older photos. It's larger and unnaturally spherical in comparison.

Guess she's going for that gold medal in hoeing

yup

>>41449452
the beauty of not having a normal childhood and using the first freedoms of early adulthood to act out sexually is really paying dividends bros

>>41449501
But, can I learn how to do flips if I haven't at age 26?

By growing up training in gymnastics virtually every day, she ended up with that typical squared off body that gymnast girls often get. When she quit and wanted to become a sexy celebrity, she was unsatisfied with her lack of feminine curves and got taken advantage of by a surgeon. She looks fucking retarded and obviously fake now. Such a shame..she could have become American Ninja Warrior.

>>41450323
yes

>>41450378

Why what race is she?

>>41449452
What the fuck happened to her face? Is it just from gaining weight or did she get a lot of work done? She looks like the alien emoji

>>41450527

She did gymnastics and has FAS, no ones judging your taste.

>>41449452
If you want to compete, yeah, if you want to do it for fun and fitness, definitely not. Go for it, anon.

>>41449891
Tricking and tumbling literally are the "flips". Just don't expect to be an olympian, then you're old "enough".

Like it's not even a good fake ass. It's stiff as shit.

I turn 28 in 3 weeks. I just bought Overcoming Gravity. I just want to be able to do planches, front levers, pull ups easily, handstands and maybe even a human flag. Is this something you guys think is even worth trying at my age? I don't feel any older than I did at 21

Yeah why not? Just don't rush things, connective tissue is a fickle thing, if you weigh under 170 pounds youll be golden.

Competitively and professionally, yes.

Otherwise no.

I'm a manlet (5'6" 140lb) trying to gain weight currently. I've always been skinny. Wouldn't mind getting close to Nile Wilson who is pic related. I know that's an advantage for what my goals are. Currently focusing on free weights right now with dips and pull ups being the only real calisthenic movements I'm incorporating. But I want to move to bodyweight almost exclusively if I make decent strength and size progress with weights. No idea if I've got the right idea though

>>41450737
Mckayla Macaroonie has a horrible fake ass.

>>41450915

Right on mane, well yeah just follow the advice on overcoming gravity, There are things you can push a little quicker than others like weighted dips and pull-ups, but skills like planche and frontlever which make big leaps in intensity between progressions you should take your time on. Hopefull somone will make a BWG thread soon, because i don't got the links to foundation, which is a program id recommend on top of them all.

>>41450915
If you want to just gain for aestheics, concentrate on the compound bodyweight movements and add some dumbbell accessories for isolation. Ignore the tricks.

Workout A: (Push):
Weighted Dips (progression)
Weighted Pushups or One-handed progression
Dumbbell clean/overhead press or Press up to Headstand Pushup progression
Dumbbell Lunge or Squats progression
Dumbbell Chest Flyes


Workout B: (Pull)
Weighted Pullups Progression
Inverted Rows Progression
Hanging Leg Raise progression
Deadlifts
Dumbbell Lateral Raises

Alternate workouts, resting at least one day between each. Always warm up first. Do planks and stretches every morning. Eat a deficit or surplus depending on if you want to gain or lose weight. Be consistent for many months. Be careful with form especially on Push exercises or you can fuck up your shoulders.

>>41451478
Aesthetics is the primary goal and the tricks are the second goal. Still I'd rather be able to front lever and shit than reach a 2pl8 bench or squat anything impressive or anything like that. I'll definitely consider what you've said if you think it's possible to gain muscle and look good with that advice. I appreciate it bud.

>>41450993
Is "foundation" the name of the routine? I'm currently interested in ready anything I can on the subject.

Not too old at all but if you're not used to moving like that you might want to consider starting at least a light workout regimen first, consisting of some weight training and calisthenics, as well as considering Yoga or Tai Chi. /fit/ probably considers both of those to be bullshit, but they will help your joints and connective tissues get used to the movements and help ease you into gymnastics without being a sudden shock, which might help to prevent soreness and muscle cramps and swelling. Yoga is mostly bullshit but it is good for stretching and muscle toning.

Foundation is a guide by some jewish coach. I use it, because some jew shilled me to use it. It's working pretty good so far. 3.5 months in. Would recommend/shill further.
>>41450993
i am waiting for somebody to upload the 2edition of overcoming gravity. What does the first edition has that foundation doesn't have?

>>41451911
Forgot to add.. The author of Overcoming gravity is Asian and the one of Foundation is not asian.

>>41451983
Idk man Asians usually know their shit on anything they teach. They're famously meticulous about everything. Is one better than the other?

You're never too old to start. But you're too old to become good.

>>41451911

They're structured and put together quite differently. OG has more info, but coach sommer is more credible soo?


>>41451852

nah thats shit, jim jewfu does not know how to train only juice.
