I attend a gymnastics center weekly to train

parkour/freerunning, been training off and on for a long time (since 2016). Got into calisthenics because I wanted to get more physically capable for freerunning but aesthetic gains are mostly what made me stick with it so long
I don't know if you wanted this thread to be exclusively for people who weight train in public gyms but I'll answer these anyway
how long have you been lifting?
I've been doing bodyweight training since like 2017, started from being completely skeletal and am now pretty above average
what's your favorite exercise?
At the moment I'm spamming archer pushups because the clean one armed pushup is a goal of mine
what's your max bench? and why is it less than mine?
No idea, it's less than mine because I am bench press noob
what do you hope to achieve through lifting?
I think consistent training is incredible for a person like me with adhd, since you're familiarizing your mind with doing things that aren't fun and you have no motivation for, you train just because it's the right thing to do, knowing you'll later be grateful you did it. Would personally recommend trying any type of consistent challenging training to people struggling with executive dysfunction.
The feeling of progression and being physically capable is also great for mental health
always wanted to try freerunning, what would you say is the best advice for someone wanting to get started freerunning? / what do you feel is the best training to do in order to seamlessly get into freerunning? - my cardio is really poor nowadays, I'm still training and working out but I rarely run anymore and I smoke a lot oregano so I wouldn't even know how long I would last running min 3 miles. back in time when I played soccer before the season I would never be in shape for the tryouts, get in on pure touch and game knowledge and have to train cardio for the next month until the 1st game because I played mid. going up and down the field for 90 mins no cardio makes you look like a scrub.
