As stated a few days ago, the members of EMI have been working on a collaborative effort with some other trainers to put together a program that will be of use to everyone who visits this site. The collaborative effort has taken a huge chunk of our time and is something that I personally have worked on with Ryan Ford of APEX Movement for over a half year.
Our content was delayed a bit but we finally released the article! This article is a set of skill standards based on the popular goals list found in our article on setting goals. This list was made to be as comprehensive as possible.
For a brief primer into this article, check out Ryan Ford’s YouTube introduction.
Follow the link below to check out the standards. Don’t forget to give us your input and feedback!
Skill Standards for Building Strong, Useful, Adaptable Athletes
About the Author

Chris first became interested in human performance enhancement during a short time as a martial artist. This led him to focus his computer engineering degree more intently on human anatomy and physiology. For the past 3 years, Chris has continued to dedicate all of his free time to studying human physiology as well as practical approaches to enhancing human performance through exercise, diet and lifestyle. Through his contributions on the American Parkour website, he has helped hundreds of novice and intermediate athletes identify goals and better training practices to excel in their discipline. Since September 3, 2007, parkour has been the sport/discipline of choice for Chris. He currently follows his own, custom program of strength and skill training which is heavily based in gymnastics. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, Chris currently resides in Colorado Springs, CO working as a Biomedical Research Consultant.
