		<description><![CDATA[The L Pull-up is a great gymnastics move that combines the upper body strength of a strict pull-up with the core strength and flexibility of an L-sit.  The movement builds competence in the basics of gymnastic body control and makes you STRONG.  This is a fundamental move that should be in your arsenal.  Let's work on it all month!

		<description><![CDATA[According to <a href="http://tacticalathlete.com/">Jeff Martone</a>, kettlebell instructor extraordinaire, the Turkish Get-Up ("TGU") was a staple exercise for old-time strongmen and wrestlers. It’s been said that in the days of old, this was the first and only exercise taught to many aspiring weightlifters to practice. Supposedly, no other exercises were taught or practiced until the pupil could perform the TGU with a 100-pound weight in either hand.  This might seem silly to you, but the reasoning is quite sound.  First, it takes tenacity and commitment to conquer this feat of strength. Second, it slowly yet steadily builds a solid foundation of strength that nearly "injury proofs" the body, making it ready for more demanding training. Third, it significantly strengthens the major muscle groups, small stabilizing muscles, and connective tissues. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This month we tackle yet another great gymnastics movement--the muscle-up.  You need pull-ups and you need dips to get this movement, but just like those other two exercise, the muscle-up is scalable to all levels.  We will be using various drills to practice this exercise all month.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I still plan to make everyone do Clapping Handstand Push Ups at some point, it would be wiser to master the dip first.  A great exercise for the chest, triceps and deltoids, the dip is one of the upper body exercises that an athlete simply cannot do without.  First, learned on the straight bars and then once the athlete is proficient she can do dips on the rings for greater control and strength.  The dip, while great in its own right, is also the gateway to the muscle up.  Once the athlete has pull ups and dips in her arsenal, the muscle up isn't far behind.

		<description><![CDATA[The name "Virtuosity" means that we take skill development very seriously.  We are not satisfied with merely being good at something.  No, we dare to go that extra mile and be great: be virtuosos of movement.  That is why the skill of the month is the clapping handstand push up.  Above and beyond a mere handstand or a handstand pushup, the CHSPU is a skill that displays amazing strength, balance, coordination and power.  We endeavor this month to take ourselves to the next level of mastery.   Please join us for the fun filled adventure that awaits.
