105 pounds; I used to feel incapable.Skinny. Weak. Always the one being compared.“Bird chest.” “Too small.”I laughed it off… but I carried it with me. It wasn’t just how I looked — it was how I felt.Like at any moment, life could test me… and I wouldn’t be ready.So I told myself: something has to change.At first, I did what everyone says. Eat more. Lift weights.I started gaining size. But I knew… this wasn’t it.I didn’t just want muscle — I wanted strength I could rely on. Control over my body. Confidence that actually meant something.That’s when everything shifted.I stopped training just to look different… and started training with intent.Now it’s bigger than the mirror.I train for life. For pressure. For adversity.To know that no matter what comes my way — I’m built for it.If you’ve been putting in the work but still feel like something’s missing…I know exactly where you’re at.DM “HYBRID” by @adrianmelo__

40 PULL-UPS POST BATTLE. Had a couple of my guys work in with me on some weighted pull-ups after their battles @ the DALLAS VS HOUSTON event. We followed up with some max bodyweight pull-ups and @adrianmelo__ took it there. Although the reps towards the end were poor in terms of jerking it still gave us some good benchmarks to refer back to as we prepare for ourselves for the summer. by @adrianmelo__

The battle of the Dominican Light Heavyweights Although yesterdays event was dedicated to the cities of Dallas and Houston we made it our business to bring in a worthy opponent for one of my top students @adrianmelo__ @carlosjespejo is nobody new, very seasoned. Has competed overseas and is a Guinness world record holder with the most ring muscle ups in 8 hours These two athletes made judging very easy for our officials, they gave nothing but honorable reps and completed what I would say was the most difficult routine of the day 5 muscle ups 30 sec dead-hang 5 muscle ups*UNBROKEN* 10 barbell squats 155lbs10 pull-ups 45lbs Dead-stop*UNBROKEN*15 goblet squats 100lbs15 pull-ups 25lbs Dead-stop 15 goblet squats 53lb KB20 pull-ups 30 Deadstop dips 45lbs 10 barbell burpees 225lbs*10 Pushup penalty Can you complete this routine under 13 minutes?

First time pulling up to this community and I get it now.Shoutout to @creodunny, @doecember, @jhearst_, @jmoney.1o1 and everyone who’s been building this — it’s real work and it shows.Training alone will only take you so far. Being around people who push you, hold you accountable, and just genuinely want to improve their lives as well, that’s a different level.Community shouldn’t optional. It’s part of our make up, we are stronger & improve rapidly in numbers. Grateful to be here. This won’t be the last time.If you are tired of wasting time & ready to make that change DM me”Hybrid”#hybridathlete #calesthenics #community #dfw #wellness by @adrianmelo__

Drove 4 hours to get cooked for 4 hours & drive another 4 back 😂Had the opportunity to work closely with The Colonizer himself @abuasada1 and it was nothing short of greatness. No comfort zone. Just real training, real feedback, and a standard that doesn’t negotiate.August 2nd is coming.At this point in the prep it’s about polishing and tightening loose ends. What you allow in training is what you’ll allow in a battle — and the work speaks for itself.The fastest road to growth is being willing to learn from someone more skillful than you. No ego. Just work.See you August 1st & 2nd 🫡 Link the Bio by @adrianmelo__

Starting over is not the problem. Staying without a system is the problem. Break the cycle DM “HYBRID” by @adrianmelo__

Most people only massage the muscle belly, I focus on the perimeter. Where the muscle meets the tendon, those small connective points people usually skip.Honestly it’s just a feeling thing for me. That’s where I feel like all the nerve endings are, and that’s where I notice I recover the fastest.It’s not just about loosening tight tissue — it’s more like resetting whatever’s controlling it.This is part of how I stay ready to train the way I do — week after week, without breaking down.Recovery isn’t an afterthought. It’s part of the work.If you are ready to take action on your goals DM “HYBRID” #hybridathlete #health #wellness #selfcare #calesthenics by @adrianmelo__

20 min EMOM.↳ Zerker Squats↳ Weighted Pull Ups into Muscle Ups↳ Barbell Deadlift Burpees↳ Weighted DipsThe body adapts to whatever you force it to face.But what most people don’t realize is the mind does too — quietly, in the background, without you even noticing.More patience. More resilience. More belief in yourself.You don’t just leave the gym looking different.You leave thinking different.That’s the part nobody talks about enough.If you want to change your life DM “Hybrid” Recovery products coming soon… #hybridathletetraining #calisthenics #health #streetlifting #dfw by @adrianmelo__

You don’t need more exercises.You need more intention.Most people: – rush reps – chase fatigue – train without structureAnd wonder why nothing changes.Slow it down. Control the movement. Train with purpose.That’s where real strength is built.DM “HYBRID” by @adrianmelo__
