Great find! That is impressive.
I am working on progressions with rings and rubber bands and it is still very taxing. Maybe by the time I am 70.....

Hell, I could do that (if the photographer caught me in just the right moment of my swing...).

I can do one now, at 55. Hope the next fifteen years work out as well for me!

As one of the "disciples," I'm doing what I can to keep the faith. At 68, I don't qualify as one of Gill's senior athletes, but I'm hoping to make it there with some remnants of strength and ability still intact.
The straddle position used here means this is not really a front lever. However, age has its prerogatives.

Cheers to John Gill! I had the priviledge to speak with him a few months ago. What an honor. He's even inspiring over the phone.

How could one not love bouldering? I'd rather boulder on a 30 degree day in a snowstorm then do laps in a gym with greasy holds and crowds of gumbies...

Front lever- quite a feat for a taller person.

Rich, You look awesome. I'd have to turn my photo 90 degrees to look like that.
