    Unlocked hefesto by training with weights

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 02:51 AM PDT

    I recently tried an hefesto and managed to do 5 (5x1).

    I was only doing band assisted hefesto, 1 time a month, until january when I stopped because it was too painful on my forearms and it was just hindering my planche progress (even with 1 training a month).

    Here's a few max of exercises that might have a carryover to hefesto:

    -Dumbell zanetti press 20kg (per hand) x2 (57% bw)
    -Dumbell maltese press 22kg (per hand) x2 (62% bw)
    -2 OAP with each arm
    -EZ Curl (clean) 55kg x1 ~78% bw (I was only doing attempts at the end of workout)

    I also did some concentration curl and inclined curl like 1 or 2 times a month.

    I've noticed that combining straight arm dumbell work with curls strengthened my biceps a lot.

    I think that maltese conditioning exercises have a good carryover to hefesto, so I think it's not necessary to dedicate that much time on hefesto training if you already train for maltese.

    Do you think that 1 RM standing curl is relevant regarding hefesto training ? since it doesn't work the biceps in the same position

    Should I be greasing the groove while having a 6 day training plan?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 12:06 PM PDT

    So, right now I am doing a push/pull/leg split for 6 workouts a week for about an 1hr-1.5hr each time. One of my main goals in calisthenics is to be able to do 20 pullups in a row (I'm at 12 right now). I have read in a lot of posts that people don't really progress in their pullup game untill they start greasing the groove and doing a few sets every day. I am wondering if you all think that this is a good idea for my current split, or if any of you think that it may be too much traning and may hinder my muscle recovery. Also, how did you all get to your pullup goals? If you have any other advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

    How do you keep track of your workouts?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2020 09:01 PM PDT

    Any apps or websites that make it easy to track your workouts and progressions? Been doing it on sheets of paper and evernote, but wondering if theres a better way that is more organized and allows me to track my progress over time

    Thoughts on this article about not doing diamond pushups?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 09:48 AM PDT

    I just came across this article that says close grip pushups are more effective than diamond pushups for triceps and that diamonds could possibly be detrimental for one's shoulder health?

    Wondering what the communities thoughts are this are?

    "High Altitude" training masks for my specific case ("micro-sessions")?

    Posted: 18 Jun 2020 03:33 AM PDT

    I read previous threads about this stuff (and some other sources) so I know that:

    • "high altitude" is complete BS
    • you are better off with HIIT
    • they just look cool/ridiculous (whatever)

    About me
    I'm a uni student and I work from home. Usually, I can't really spend my productive hours exercising (0-4 real exercise sessions per week, depending on uni/work stuff)

    The specific-case - "micro-sessions"
    But every now and then, when my brain overloads I get up and I do "micro-sessions": 20-30 pushups/dumbells/squats. This integrates quite well. This is good enough for muscle gain, but my cardio is shit.

    Using a mask for these "micro-sessions" would be beneficial right?
    I just put it on, do my pushups, and my heart gets a bit more pounding + my lungs work a bit more --> back to work.

    What do you think?
