My Reasoning
My ultimate goal with all training is longevity and health.  For me that means the majority of my work is slow tempo strength training, eliminating explosive movements/momentum, frequent walking and frequent joint mobility work.  My current preferred modality for all of this is calisthenics.  It hasn't always been this way. I have been around the block with kettlebell training.  I have achieved my half bodyweight press, passed the secret service snatch test and have done 48kg Turkish Get Ups. I just felt that I've seen my limit with kettlebells and going further would do me a disservice.  Too much risk to reward.  So from now on I'll be focusing on sustainable calisthenics.  Sustainable calisthenics for me means no party tricks.  Those party tricks are things like the human flag or muscle up.  It means no explosive movements because being explosive in exercise doesn't mean it will transfer to everyday life.

I want to grow old and be well when I get there.....
