    Is it a realistic goal for a woman to do a one-armed chin up?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 10:46 AM PDT

    I can currently do around 18 bodyweight-only chin ups, 7-8 chin ups with +20% bodyweight, and 4 with +30% bodyweight. Given a few years and working out ~5-6 times a week, is it a realistic goal to be able to do a one-armed chin up as a woman? If so, how should I go about training for it? (what exercises, how often, etc.)

    Thanks in advance!

    Today I did my first pull up (2!!) for the first time in my life.

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 11:52 AM PDT

    I used to be 300 pounds, saw people doing calisthenics and decided I wanted to try that because it looks super awesome. It has been 17 months and I changed my lifestyle around to that of a more healthy / fit individual. I don't go to the gym, I do all my workouts at home with a pair of adjustable dumbbells (which I bought years ago and never used), a set of resistance bands, my own body-weight, door pull up bar, and a pair of push up bars.

    I will be honest, I never trained back before. I always gave the excuses I didn't have the equipment and I couldn't find a good door frame to place mine at. Turns out my walk in closet is a good, solid frame and since some time during July... I have consistently worked my back by hanging then activating my lats as to try and do a pull up but holding that position for as long as possible (my gosh that was hard), and then doing eccentric pull ups after those hangs.

    I did the hanging / activating for about 4 times for 10 seconds each, then did the eccentrics as slow as I possibly could (sometimes 3,4,5 seconds).

    Today instead of doing the usual stuff I decided to see how if I could at least get it half way done... turns out I could do 2 pull ups!!!!

    I currently weight 195 pounds and I am 6' tall. Still losing some weight but it felt so good to finally see results. I do back 2 times a week sometimes 3 depending how sore I am feeling on a 2/2 day split.

    I was wondering, now that I know I can do 1~2 should I add these to my workouts or keep increasing difficulty of what I am currently doing?

    Thanks fam

    Straddle Planche Pushups Plateau

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 06:49 AM PDT

    How did you all learn them? I can't seem to hold the top position after I do one.

    What progressions and training strategies did you all use?

    Strength Requirements met for human flag? What to do?

    Posted: 04 Aug 2020 12:58 AM PDT

    Hi All

    I was looking for advice regarding the human flag body weight exercise as I'm striving to do this.

    I'm aware that my pull up strength and standing military press would be great carry overs for the exercise.

    To let you know some of my stats, here is some information below:

    1. Bodyweight - 84 KG with 15% bodyfat, 5"10 (I'm aware height can affect bodyweight leverages for exercise)
    2. Military press - Can do 55 - 60 kg one rep max currently. Was at 60KG for 3 reps before gyms were closed.
    3. Weighted pull ups strength - 84 KG + 16 KG additional weight for 4 reps. One rep max 84KG + 20KG = 104 KG

    Pull ups strength - 84 kg for 17 reps max (includes hanging on bar for periods). EDIT: Removed as I didn't think it's relevant enough.

    EDIT: Since I'm pulling with one arm and pressing with one arm. This would mean I divide my total one rep maxes for the press and pull ups by 2 to know how much weight I can move (i.e myself).

    So 104KG 1RM for pull ups + 60kg 1RM for military press = 164KG / 2 = 82KG of human flag strength. I weigh 84KG so not as strong as I need to be as I'm 2kg short on pull / push strength.

    Obviously I need to lose more weight or get stronger in those two exercises. Is there anything else I can do that's very productive to do for these goals or merely grind through them? How much more strength to start doing this exercise?

    Many thanks in advance!

    What is the current time-record for one-arm lock off?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 09:37 PM PDT

    What is the current record for the longest one-arm lock off, where the arm is kept at around 90 degrees bent? Here are some examples:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiB7zXKzfl0

    From watching videos of pro climbers, I feel like the record is probably around 50-60 seconds, but maybe if somebody talented specifically trained one arm lock off they could hold it for around 2-3 minutes?

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:32 PM PDT

    Has anybody ever seen a manna performed on rings? Is it even possible?

    I was doing a little searching and couldn't find any videos (or pictures) of it being done.

    Recommended Routine vs Vert Shock

    Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:05 PM PDT

    First of all, I know that the workouts are totally different.

    The reason I'm creating this, it's because I'm a Basketball player and I don't know what is better for me.

    I don't know how many of you have tried or at least looked at the VertShock program, but it's only Plyometric exercises that focus on be explosive.

    I want to be more explosive in the court, but at the same time I don't wanna just do some program and f*** my knees in long-term, I wanna be explosive, but with safety on the workouts.

    So, with that in mind, what can you guys recommend me to do? I've searched on this sub but I didn't found anything about VertShock.

    I'm really new to this exercises stuff so I definitely need some help.
