How much you bench is not the only way to show your upper body strength and skill. The back lever is a crazy calisthenics skill that manifests amazing upper-body strength, mobility, stability, and body control.
Many think that calisthenics is only for the youth. While it's ideal to start young to be able to reap even more benefits, there's nothing wrong with starting during your 30s or even in your 60s. The benefits are just as great, and it's never too late to improve your health.

But what if you want to build bigger and stronger arms without using any equipment? This article will show you how!
