| Is the dragon flag even useful as a core exercise? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 05:33 AM PST I've been working up to dragon flags for a while, and although it's a very challenging exercise I don't feel that it's my core that's being challenged. I'm doing partial ROM to gradually lower depths, and what inevitably gives up is either my triceps or lats. It's a very cool skill that I'll keep working on, but I'm starting to wonder if I should consider it part of my core training. I keep a hollow body and determine depth by sight along my heels, for what it matters. I used to do the regular technique with slightly extended back, but the risk of hyperextension is too high and my spine doesn't like that. [link] [comments] |
| What features would you like to see in a Calisthenics app? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 09:38 PM PST Yo! I'm thinking about building a Calisthenics app for this community. I'm still in the brainstorming phase of it, so I'd love to hear some of your suggestions as to what specific features you'd like to see in a calisthenics app. Think of features that...
Thanks a lot for your feedback! (Disclaimer: I know Fitloop is already out there, but as a comp eng student, I'd like to get my hands dirty and learn how to use different platforms, etc.) [link] [comments] |
| Just thought of a cool invention that could help calisthenics athletes Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:57 AM PST The idea came when I saw that taekwondo athletes could wear some small electronic ankle straps, that could measure the speed and quantity of the kicks. Now imagine having those, on your ankles and wrists (and possibly one on the hip and shoulders), to measure the number of reps, the "form" (they could measure your alignment, length of hold). It could measure and record the length of levers, the alignment (if the feet/hips/shoudlers all aligned), so you could track your progress and do adjustments while performing it. It could measure your HSPU reps too (how deep they go), planche alignment and hold, etc etc. There'd be an app that comes with it, and could validate if you unlocked a move or not. It could even measure your progressions (tuck, straddle, etc etc.) by tracking the positioning of the ankle indicators. Anyway, it's a cool idea I just thought of, but I know it's probably going to be a lot of work to develop all those wearable gizmos at different joints of the body. Plus, they'd have to be as light as possible lol. What do you think? [link] [comments] |
| How to increase grip strength? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:51 AM PST My grip strength is holding me back from progressing in most pulling movements. How should i work on my grip strength. [link] [comments] |
| Struggling to get past 19 pull-ups Posted: 01 Mar 2020 07:30 PM PST I've been working religiously on my pull-ups for a year now in preparation for Marine Corps Officer candidate school. My goal is 23 good dead hang pullups. So far I've tried greasing the groove, (doing 100-150 reps broken across sets of 5-10 throughout the day) 5x a week, but I've been stagnant for about 2 months now. I've been consuming plenty of protein too (140 grams per day on average) What's the quickest and best way to break my plateau? I'm a 6ft 2, 205 lb male. I don't have access to a weight belt/my pull-ups bar doesn't give me enough space to use one) so heavy weighted pull-ups are tough. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 09:09 PM PST My front lever greatly regressed after is started training legs (sumo deadlifts and weighted squats), i used to do it for 19 seconds and now it's barely 12 seconds with a less convincing form. I currently still train legs, but i sometimes do sets of 20 with lightweight in order to burn some volume . I also train front lever consistently , doing full front lever holds, negatives, advanced tuck pull ups, one legs hold (with switching)... any tips? [link] [comments] |
| What's are some music tracks to keep you going? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 03:20 AM PST When we're training outdoors (Sydney), we always bring a few speakers with some blazing music, and it really helps to get the workout going, and get that little extra out of the workout. Also, it's more fun! I was wondering what are your tracks which really want to make you want to do Calisthenics, so I can add them to our playlist? My current favorite songs:

| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 06:12 AM PST Having a lot of trouble with ankle mobility, dorsiflexion. Feel restricted in pretty much anything in life. A physio told me I have 2 cm ankle dorsiflexion, 8 would be ideal. I try to squat and it looks like this: https://www.crossfitinvictus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Bad-Ankle-Mobility-e1435721048994.jpg Done calve stretches and PVC pipe rolling on calves to the point of not feeling anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=jlE5HRgI3CY&feature=emb_title:I feel like the first exercise is my only hope The worst part is I don't know what's causing it. Whether it be a tight achilles or a restriction in the front of the ankle (talus). Has anyone actually overcome this problem?? If anyone's in QLD, Australia and you found a physio/weightlifting coach that saved you from this, tell us! [link] [comments] |
