| Posted: 13 Mar 2021 12:37 AM PST First time sharing here. Looking for some tips and feedback. 190 lbs, 5'11'', 37yo started working on planche exactly a year ago, now at advanced tuck for a few seconds. I am thrilled with this progress and motivated to keep working, but straddle seems like it will be an order of magnitude more difficult. Questions for the group: I feel like I am at the limit for wrist mobility. I feel like others can lean further forward while fingers are still pointed ahead. I know I need to lean forward more, but this might necessitate turning the hands out more, which makes it harder to balance. Any thoughts on this? Coming out of the planche, if I release the shoulder tension too quickly it is very painful and feels like the shoulder joint is going to explode. As though the muscular tension directed to the floor, suddenly without anything to push against, has nowhere to go but back into the shoulder. If I take 5 seconds to ease out of the planche the tension is bearable. You can see in the video I pause a few seconds as I come down. I usually do this much longer, about 10 seconds, as the muscles relax. Videos online show people failing forwards. I can't imagine this, as the sudden release of shoulder tension would be very painful. Does anyone else experience this and how do they cope? Thanks. This forum has been an amazing source of info and motivation! Re the mask, its 10pm in the gym, and the only other person is 50 feet away. [link] [comments] |
| Will the bwf make my dancing better? Posted: 13 Mar 2021 01:12 AM PST Will the bwf help me improve or should I do pilates? I always wanted a nice body and do cool skills like mu,levers and planche but I got into dancing? Should I still pursue bwf? [link] [comments] |

| This is a post for the injured and those who lost motivation or progress because of an injury. Posted: 10 Mar 2021 07:24 PM PST TLDR: I went from the ideal body image (peak) got injured and lost most of my progress. But if you don't keep pushing to fix yourself, no one will do it for you. You are in charge of your injury. Don't get complacent and lose it all and blame everything on the injury. I started doing that, and I lost most of who I was. But I never gave up and am now recovering, fixing the weak muscles, and will eventually get back to the muscular self I used to be. Don't compare yourself to your past self because you're not that person anymore. Create your new self, be proud of your everyday accomplishments and whatever you do DON'T GIVE UP. In the Summer of 2019, I was benching two plate bench presses and was the guy that people would ask about my exercises or flock to me because I was physically and noticeably fit. In September of 2019, I somehow hurt myself doing incline press and felt this weird tingling go through my shoulder into my neck and back. Eventually, my back would flare up (swell) twice it's size in the scapular/rear delt shoulder area and it would become hot and painful. I took breaks to let it heal but it did not heal. Months later: My doctor sent me for an ultrasound after ultrasound even though I insisted I get an MRI done. He began to tell me my problem was psychological, that it had to do with something I was doing in my daily life that I needed to figure out. My life went from trying to go workout to always getting swollen and eventually I lost all motivation. I became sedimentary, it felt hopeless. 2020 September: Eventually, after consistently getting zero results from the ultrasounds, I demanded to see a sports doctor. I was referred to one and had an appointment within the next months. However, Covid set so all the MRI's took months to get done. 2020 Late November: MRI's finally get done and I've started physio again with little hope that anything will actually get better. 2020 December: the Doctors see my MRI's low and behold I have a Labral Tear in the Labrum (Shoulder tear). These tears cannot be fixed without surgery. I get sent to a surgeon. 2021 January: The surgeon says I do indeed have a labral tear which would explain shoulder pain in the front and instability. However, some of the pain I have in my Scapula may not be from that spot. I have a winged scapula and a labral tear. 2021 February: I start consistently doing all the physio exercises and am saddened by how I went from a top-tier athlete to a sluggish not so fit 26 year old. I can hardly lift the weights I used to and am lifting the lowest weights I've ever lifted. 2021 March: Since doing the exercises consistently I have begun to feel less pain and discomfort from my scapula. My winged scapula has started to wing less and my serratus anterior muscle in my shoulder is getting stronger. 2021 present: I am starting to back to the gym again. I (only) did an hour of cardio today but I am feeling more motivated than ever to get back to my old self. I made this post because I can understand how hard it is for people who are injured to see themselves slowly lose all their progress. I also, understand how it feels when you can't do the thing you love doing (going to the gym). But my biggest advice to those people is don't give up. Figure out what's wrong and if you come up with nothing go elsewhere and see someone else another doctor or another physiotherapist. Commit to the exercises, you can only make the difference. Yes, the small weights make you sad but the progress will make you motivated. My shoulder pain I think came from multiple things, a torn labrum and a tear elsewhere that made my serratus so weak that it winged so far that I had lost a lot of control of motion. Now, I am focused on continuing to strengthen that muscle that got weak until I am finally ''normal" and I can start getting my life back. I notice I have weakness from the Labrum tear, so I'll likely need surgery but I just want you to know that no matter what, you are in charge of your life. Your injury is not. It's easier said than done and I understand it's heartbreaking to lose progress and feel stuck but you need to keep trying or you can lose yourself too. Just because you're injured and don't look as buff as you did at your peak does not mean you're any less attractive. Be easy on yourself but not complacent. Understand your current limitations, because if you don't acknowledge them then you might hurt yourself more before having a chance to get back. The great thing about hitting rock bottom is there is always room to improve and each improvement is significant to your motivation, and to someday getting back to where you were. I have a friend who was also in great shape and got injured and he went from 170 pounds to now bordering 300+ and makes excuses why he can't get back or gets really upset when his friends try to help. He got stuck and blames everything on his injury. It's an easy place to fall into. I did too. But you can't give up because no one will fix it for you. Let go of what you looked like before the injury and look forward to what you want to look like. Make small reasonable goals (ie., I want to minimize the pain and weakness in my shoulder. So look up rehab videos on youtube (PRehabguys) or go see a physiotherapist). Once those goals are achieved, rebuild yourself. The biggest takeaway I want you to get from this is you choose the path you want to walk. You can let your injury win and then blame it for you losing your health, your girlfriend, your sex life, etc or you can take charge of your life and make a change one reasonable goal at a time.

| Posted: 12 Mar 2021 08:27 AM PST RTO dips are obviously extremely hard compared to normal ring dips. However, since RTO dips involve the biceps to a much larger extent, which are the strongest supinator in the arms, shouldn't that make them easier? When I look at ring dips vs RTO dips I think more of the difference between pull-ups and chinups . Chinups involve the biceps and are on average easier than pullups but what makes RTO dips harder unquestionably harder than normal ring dip? [link] [comments] |
| Please give some One-Arm Chinup Tips for 18yr Old Posted: 11 Mar 2021 09:39 PM PST Hello Everyone, I'm currently 18 (5ft10in) 65kgs. My Current Max Bodyweight pullups are around 22. Weighted pull up Max is 3 reps with 40%bw. Some tips on how many times should i train a week and what should a session look like. I can give any amount of time to calisthenics, so how much time you think it would take me to learn OAC? my side skill is FL,I can hold it for 4s. [link] [comments] |

| How should I do the workouts if I can only do one rep. Posted: 11 Mar 2021 02:13 PM PST I've been doing the RR for strength training and I'm wondering if I should do 1 pullup which is the most I can do before either having to rest 30 seconds to do another or move on to the next exercise, or if I should do negative pullups so I can hit the 5-8 rep range? I could build strength both ways but I'm wondering if there is a preferred method. [link] [comments] |
| Program for summer backcountry field job Posted: 11 Mar 2021 07:18 PM PST I just accepted a job in forest ecology this summer where I will be in the backcountry for 8-10 day stints. My goal is bodyweight exercise endurance and strength to train for a possible future in military special operations. How can I possibly train in the middle of nowhere without a pull up bar?... can someone help me develop a routine that's common for field employees in the backcountry? [link] [comments] |
| Improving shoulder extension for back lever Posted: 11 Mar 2021 04:30 PM PST I've been working towards being able to do the three main static holds (front lever/back lever/planche). While I've been able to make solid progress with front lever (currently can hold one-leg for a couple seconds on the rings) and planche (can hold adv. tuck for ~5 seconds), I feel like I've been totally stuck on back lever. I still struggle just to get into and hold advanced tuck fully horizontally, and I practice it with the same frequency as front lever. Since people usually say the back lever is easier than front lever strength-wise, I worry that it might be an issue with shoulder mobility holding me back. I find that, if I stand vertically and try to put my shoulders into extension, my arms can only go about 15 degrees behind me before it feels like they're totally blocked from going any further. Most images and videos I can find of back lever show arms at closer to a 45 degree angle with the body. How important is having that degree of shoulder extension for being able to do the back lever? And does anyone have any suggestions for how to improve my shoulder extension? I usually warm up with skin-the-cat before doing my routine, but it doesn't seem to have impacted my shoulder extension much after close to a year of doing it. Maybe I'm not allowing myself to settle deep enough into the german hang? [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight play with young kids Posted: 11 Mar 2021 09:50 AM PST So I have two young kids (5 and 7) and very little free time for focused exercise. I'm starting the move program in the little time I have, but I'm looking to supplement that with games and play with my kids which will also help with with my own goals of increased balance, mobility, and strength. Here's some ideas I've come up with, but would love to here others:
Any other ideas? [link] [comments] |
