| Why are straight bar dips so much harder than parallel bar dips? Posted: 06 Mar 2020 06:08 AM PST As the title says. They both work the chest triceps & anterior deltoid from a vertical angle yet the parallel bar version is so much harder. I have never done them before and attempted them last night. With reverse grip so my arms stay as close to my body as possible - I could only do 4. For reference I can do parallel bar dips at 180lbs BW with 40lbs for 3×8. [link] [comments] |
| Avoiding Tendonitis from OAC/OAP Posted: 05 Mar 2020 05:54 PM PST I'm a pretty light dude at 135 lbs and recently achieved a OAC but it is pretty tenuous (can do it on any given day if I'm fresh, but probably couldn't do it if I gained a few lbs). Each rep is pretty maximal effort, and my tendons feel sore after each rep. My goal is to get up to 3-4 reps per arm but because of the soreness, I am scared to train it too frequently. Is there any way to strength or prehab my tendons so I can train this? As it currently stands I probably do 1 rep per arm every 2-3 days. Definitely not enough for training. I have done weighted pullups in the past. I can do +75 lbs x4 reps without any elbow pain. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| progressions after straddle planche? Posted: 06 Mar 2020 10:31 AM PST Can do 10 seconds straddle and I don't know what to do next to get to the full planche. one leg planche feels kinda strange and i don't think i feel any progress here, it feels like some weird tuck planche thats unevenly balanced or im just doing something wrong [link] [comments] |
| Relaxing vs. Flexed Mental Irritation. Posted: 05 Mar 2020 05:48 PM PST Hello All, I am unsure how other people feel about it but I wanted to talk a little. Brief background: I'm 6'3 and weigh 173 pounds. Been doing BWF for almost 8 months now. Loved the results and felt better as a result. However, my hate is geared towards my lower abs that while they look nice when flexed (4-pack), practically disappear when relaxed. It makes me feel like I'm faking it. After much consideration on where I am at and what I want, I decided to cut to further decrease my body fat %. It's almost disheartening knowing that which I worked and progressed for will deteriorate because my "tire" exists. I had originally aimed for a year to get where I want but am considering adding another year after this cut takes its toll. Perhaps I'll still hit it if my cut goes well as my strength so far hasn't gone down. Anyhoo, something to get off my chest. Does anyone else have the issue of relaxed vs. flexed? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2020 02:30 PM PST This is basically just me ranting about competing against other people so feel free to rant as well. So I used to not be competitive, like at all but ever since I started doing calisthenics I have had a competitive side. I don't really like that I am competitive because I feel like a jerk but to be honest it does make me try harder. When I first started training muscle ups I had other people trying to do it as well (they couldn't) but I started getting competitive again and kind of mad. I know I'm still a lot stronger than the others but I am still competitive about it. Do you know what I mean? Its frustrating and makes me feel like an asshole. I do help people when they are trying to learn but the competitive side doesn't go away. Does anyone have this same problem? Do you guys embrace it or try to get rid of it? I don't really know what I should do. [link] [comments] |
