    What happens at the lower range of motion in pullups and chin-ups

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 01:02 AM PST

    I can do a single full range of motion chin-up and no full pullups. But if skip the lower range of motion just by a little bit (my arms have to make a 170 degree angle instead of a 180 degree one before I can pull myself up), I can do 4 "chin-ups" and 3 "pullups". This is especially confusing considering that many people say the lower range of motion is easier than the upper one. How to fix this and how to do my pullups and chin-ups now?

    People that have had serious injuries from training like fully tearing your pec/biceps or any other major injuries, how did it happened?

    Posted: 15 Nov 2020 03:51 PM PST

    Let's discuss serious injuries so we can all be reminded to warm up properly and try our best to avoid accidental major injuries that impede our progress in becoming stronger and reaching our goals, especially as we get older.

    30 years old, trying to get back in shape? Will it be easier to build strength I've lost over the years?

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 01:23 PM PST

    When I was 18 I couldn't do a single pull up, I set my mind to be able to do them, bought a pull up bar and pretty quickly I'd say I was doing 3-4 sets of 15 pull ups. Maxed out at 27 once. Over the next few years I fell on and off on my training, started adding weight on a backpack and eventually stopped at 25 or so.

    Sort of the same story with push ups and dips.

    Eventually I hurt my back (I think doing weighted dips), and the past 5 years or so I'd work out for a week or two and then stop. I always feel a bit of pressure on my upper back, not pain but something weird and eventually stop working out.

    I maintained my ability to do at least10 pull ups for a long time but I've lost most of that strength now, same with push ups. I can maybe do 20 now but my endurance is shit. I've gained weight too. I easily weigh 15-20 pounds more than I used to when I was "in shape". Today I did just 2 mere pull ups and struggled so bad. A few months ago I was doing 2-3 sets of 3-4 pull ups

    My question is: Do you think it'll be easier to re-gain my strength? I know the extra weight doesn't help, and I'm working on it. Or perhaps I'm not that much weaker, just heavier. Or will it be like starting from scratch?

    Slow muscle up transition problem.

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 04:24 AM PST

    I train for muscle ups for a while, i can do 4 ring muscle ups, 4 bar muscle ups, 2 strict bar muscle ups, 6 pseudo false grip pulls. But when i try the slow muscle up i fail in the transition part, i have the strenght to do it cuz sometimes in the bar muscle up when i pull in to my chest i can pull down to my abs. Any advice how can i do the slow mu transition? If someone need i can show video too.

    Bent arm planche to *almost* full planche?

    Posted: 15 Nov 2020 06:40 PM PST

    The title pretty much says it. I was wondering if it would be plausible to start at a 90 degree bent arm planche and work on pushing yourself up higher and higher or doing eccentrics with an increasingly higher starting point to get to an almost straight arm planche and combining it with other more conventional planche progressions to achieve a full planche and automatically a planche push up since youve been training the movement already. Thats what im considering trying and if i do ill update yall if i succeed

    Would you recommend taking 2-3 months doing a full bodybuiliding cycle?

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 04:00 AM PST

    Hi all !

    I'm somewhat experienced with BWF , but for the past 18 months I'm fighting with an elbow injury

    I've always thought it was golfer's

    turns out it was hypemobility in my elbows due to over stretching

    *sigh*

    Anyways

    I've always went in and out of training over the past 18 months

    Each time I feel it's getting better I'd go back to a '' RELOAD '' cycle

    which consists of RTO, wall holds etc

    But each time the pain would go back and I have to stop again ( this went on for about 6-8 times over 18 months )

    After seeking professional help I'm finally getting better , pull ups and push ups still hurts a bit but it's manageable , pain scale is about 4/10

    with that said I'm traumatize to go back on the rings or to handstand practice since I've been in and out for so many times.

    And for the 1st time in 18 months I've been able to do upper body training for 3 weeks straight , with a little pain.

    Hence I wanted to ask

    Do you guys as BWF practitioners take time off to work on BB stuff? like curls m bench press etc?
