How to do the backflip

I always wanted to learn how to do a backflip.

Ever since I was a little munchkin I thought learning to do a backflip would pretty much be the coolest thing in the entire world. But I think it’s safe to assume everyone would love to learn how to do a backflip. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be able to randomly bust out a sweet backflip whenever you felt like rendering every man and woman within a 3-block radius sexually attracted to the very essence of your being? Right?

Exactly. Well, after a decade of weight lifting and 5-years of competitive powerlifting, I finally learned how to do a backflip.

 I learned how to do it in less than 20-minutes.In the remainder of this article I’m going to show you exactly how I learned the backflip and why I was able to learn it in such a short period of time.

By the end of this piece you will have a much better understanding of the backflip and exactly what steps you need to take in order to learn it as quickly as possible.
