š¤ Should I Learn Skills Before Strengthā¦ or Strength Before Skills?
This question comes up all the time
And the honest answer is not one or the other.
It is both, just in different roles.
Here is the simple truth
You do not need to be āstrong enough firstā to start learning skills.
And you also cannot ignore strength and expect skills to magically appear.
Skills and strength grow together, but they grow differently.
What skills actually need
Most skills are about:
ā¢ Body awareness
ā¢ Balance
ā¢ Positioning
ā¢ Coordination
ā¢ Time under tension in specific shapes
A handstand is not about how many push-ups you can do.
It is about holding a straight line on straight arms.
That means you can (and should) start practicing skills early
Even if you feel āweakā.
What strength actually does
Strength:
ā¢ Makes skills easier to hold
ā¢ Makes progressions safer
ā¢ Expands what skills are possible
You build strength through:
ā¢ Push-ups, pull-ups, squats
ā¢ Progressions that challenge you
ā¢ Rest and recovery
Strength is the engine.
Skills are the steering wheel.
The mistake most people make
They wait.
āIāll start handstands when Iām stronger.ā
āIāll try muscle-ups once I can do more pull-ups.ā
That delay is what slows everything down.
The better approach
ā Practice skills often, at low intensity
ā Train strength hard, but fewer days
ā Let technique improve daily
ā Let strength improve weekly
Think:
Skill practice = learning the language
Strength training = building the voice
Both matter.
The real goal
Do not choose skills vs strength
Learn how to train both at the same time without burning out.
