    HEY YOU,

    Have you taken any recent pics of those sweet gains, your human flag, or those handstands off the wall you're finally holding?

    Do you have other bodyweight fitness accomplishments you've made and want the world to know about because your friends and family can't appreciate how hard L-sit progressions are??

    A comprehensive review of Body By Rings by FitnessFAQs

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 10:40 PM PDT

    Hello everyone. I wrote an article for the website Calisthenics101 which went fairly in depth on my results from using Body by Rings by FitnessFAQs during the duration of the Covid 19 lockdown (and beyond)

    You can give it a read here and you can also leave comments below asking for anything that I missed out on! The article can be edited to provide a more comprehensive review.

    To those who naysay the concept of buying and reviewing workout programs, please avoid this thread, as it's not written for you. Many people need the comfort of having their training planned out for them and don't want to be second guessing every last rep they perform in a self prescribed program.

    Weighted pull-up world records by weight class?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:57 AM PDT

    At 5'6 135lbs, my current pull-up pr is +93lbs for 6 reps. According to Symmetric Strength, this is "only" 17lbs away from world class. Right now I only do 3sets once a week or once every other week because I mostly just climb and do some campusing, but this has got me thinking if I do more dedicated training for it, I might potentially be able to set some world record. I've tried finding pullup world records for weight classes, but I've only been able to find the absolute weight record. Does anyone here know if they have it seperated into weight classes?

    Uncomfortable sensation in right armpit when doing pull-ups.

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:26 AM PDT

    When I get about 80% up to the bar. I feel this uncomfortable click/pop in my armpit. It feels like a ligament or nerve is translating against something then popping like a rubber band. Not painful but deffinately not comfortable.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    My house is two stories. The rings have to be 16" or 32" apart (40.5cm to 81.25cm). Or should I order a bracket from Rogue

    Push-up progressions based on the actual load and 1RM

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:15 AM PDT

    Ok, so while ago I wrote some thoughts about the actual load being pressed in a push-up and that load being compared to a bench press. Since now I have some idea how much the load is at the bottom and top position of different push-ups I though I would write few words about push-up progressions and how it could be done in a moderate rep range 6-12reps.

    I guess I have seen too many "do 5sets of 20reps to unlock the next move" type of tutorials. Which can work. But since the high rep work doesn't translate well to low rep strenght, working in a moderate rep range might be a better way. Here is the link to the whole text and progression model listed below:

    https://twoworkouts.blogspot.com/2020/09/push-up-progression-based-on-actual.html

    Kneeling push-up

    Actual load ˜ 0.6x Bodyweight

    Standard push-up

    Pre-requirement: 12 Kneeling push-up to get 5 reps

    Actual load ˜ 0.73x Bodyweight

    Decline push-up

    Pre-requirement: 12 Standard push-up to get 6 reps

    Actual load ˜ 0.80x Bodyweight

    Assisted One Arm Push-up

    Pre-requirement: 12 Decline push-up to get 6 reps

    Actual load ˜ 0.96x Bodyweight

    Decline assisted One Arm Push-up

    Pre-requirement: 10 Assisted One Arm Push-up to get 6 reps

    Actual load ˜ 1.1x Bodyweight

    Kneeling One Arm Push-up

    Pre-requirement: 10 Decline Assisted One Arm push-up to get 5 reps

    Actual load ˜ 1.2 Bodyweight

    One Arm Push-up

    Pre-requirement: 12 Kneeling One Arm push-up to get 4 reps

    Actual load ˜ 1.46x Bodyweight

    I also added some hints on what your form and tempo should be like. To make this progression work you need to:

    -Do full range of motion

    -Slight pause at the bottom and actually push from deadstop and don't rely on the stretch reflex

    -Use proper tempo "2-1-2" for example

    -Stretch the rep range or add small amounth of weight if you are not able to progress within the suggested rep range

    I also made some workout examples and some google sheet to plan your workouts that include example videos.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15z8YPMm9zCLBuPjrFedJS_NZIEXtWBsEB3OWF2T-E8A/copy?usp=sharing

    What do you think?

    Do you think this progression will work?

    Based on the actual load and 1RM calculated from reps this should work with some exceptions where you might need to extend the rep range or increase the load incrementally with additional weight.

    Where to go after 10 pull ups?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:43 AM PDT

    I can do around 10 dead hang pull ups, and I feel like I need to make it harder but less reps. What can I do. I cannot do one hanged dead hang pull ups (I can't even hang with one hand)

    I'm struggling to learn the OAC/OAP again. What should I do ?

    Posted: 20 Sep 2020 03:08 AM PDT

    OAC = one arm chin-up & OAP = one arm pull-up

    I first got my OAC when I didn't know anything about sets and reps and stuff like that the only thing I knew was not to go to the climbing gym every day. Even though my training wasn't smart i got the OAC in under a month.

    I trained like this: I climbed 2-3 times a week and after my climbing session I just did negative OAC the slowest I could and without any rest between sets. I'd just do a couple of negative OAC and my training was finished. That lasted about a week then for 2-3 weeks I climbed 2-3 times a week and after climbing I would do counterweight OAC, first with 4-5 kilos until failures, then I would do the same with 6kg until failure and then with 8kg until failure. All this without resting.

    After about a month I was able to do OACs (my max was 3 but not in perfect form)

    I was able to do the one arm pull up from February 2020 to mid-March 2020 (when the confinement began in Switzerland and I stopped climbing and training OAP/OAC at my climbing gym)

    from there I started doing a pull-up program from Jeremy Ethier (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YvfRx31xDE&ab_channel=JeremyEthier) for week one

    and a weighted pull-up program on week two (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tajapmdy5v0&ab_channel=GeekClimber)

    And I was alternating weeks 1 and 2 for about 2-3 months. But I was never training one arm pull-ups

    when I got back to climbing I was struggling to do the OAC but I was pretty close, I used 2-3kg counterweight to do one OAC. I struggled for a month and a half and then I had to stop doing sport for one month cause I had my tonsils removed.

    I started climbing again on the 1st august (on the swiss national day) and since then I workout OAC twice a week and can do OAC with 2kg counterweight. I tried training doing 3 reps for 6 sets and also training like I did when I learned the OAC but I am stuck I need help !

    I'm 17

    I weigh 73kg and 1,91m tall

    and I do bouldering 2-3 times a week

    Cross posting from r/socialskills and r/beginnerfitness. I have this annoying tendency to start out like gang busters for two months, then start peetering out to the point, I quit by month 3-3.5. Help?

    FL or planche, or both?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 06:08 PM PDT

    I do ppl program, i train fl on pull days and planche+handstand on push days, and sometimes i do some fl training in my leg days. I'm wondering if i could progress with this type of program? Or should i just focus on FL/planche? I'm at a point where i can hold a tucked fl for 20-30s and a planche lean hold for 10-15s and pppu for 5 reps. I do the training for fl/planche before strength work. Should i keep up with this program or just focus on fl/planche first?
