The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Starting Weight Lifting

Sondre Berg (@sondre_berg) - the sensation from Norway is on the Passive Hang! Sondre is a coach living in Norway. Sondre amazes me with all the physical prowess he displays - explosive, skilful, mobile, taking on skills I haven’t seen before such as the one arm handstand pushup. It was a pleasure to find out that he also has the training wisdom and ability to teach that wisdom. 

So how does Sondre manage to do all that he does? One of the main points he raises in discussion is basic - relying on volume, and not underestimating how much capacity you have towards volume. It’s a simple message which we can forget. Repetition and recover. You can see how he uses this to devastating effect. Sondre not only has finesse with advanced one arm handstand skills, but also exuberance in explosive acrobatics. 

I also selfishly ask him about tips on the 90 degree pushup, something I’m working on. We go through some tips and tricks for developing it, as well as considerations for developing strength where skill is a big component. Sondre also shares some tools for developing power within the lower body.
