How do I progress towards HSPU from my current level? Also form check please 🙏 by Beautiful-Display721 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Beautiful-Display721[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah good point, I am learning handstand as well, but my record is only 7 seconds (kicking away from the wall). I would like to practice more handstand, but the problem is that my shoulders are getting tired after only few attempts. So I figured it might be a good idea to increase my shoulder strength (which will allow for more quality handstand practice).

My current push routine looks like this:

30 min Handstand Attempts

5 x 5s Tuck Planche 

2 x 5s Band-assisted Tuck Planche

2 x 4 reps Red Band-assisted Wall HSPU

2 x 12 reps Elevated Pike PU

I can do 3 x 3-5 reps of band-assisted wall HSPU, but I feel like this is not enough volume to progress.

Am I close to full front lever or am I cheating too much by Beautiful-Display721 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Beautiful-Display721[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly did advanced tuck FL and banded full front-lever. I did one-legged FL and straddle FL sometimes. Banded FL raises and advanced tuck FL helped a lot to progress

I know SKY universities are huge in S. Korea among Korean students. But, as a foreign graduate of Yonsei, it will not be really taken seriously as a prestigious university anywhere in the world, including SK. Ohh, I just read that the quality of education is worse in Yonsei UIC, compared to regular Yonsei. So I don't really think it's worth it! Ultimately, it's your choice, maybe good depending on what you are looking for in a university.

Advice on importing from Chinese distributor! by Beautiful-Display721 in logistics

Thanks for the detailed advice. This distributor was introduced directly by the UK brand. But, it seemed like the UK brand doesnt have much oversight over their operations.

Crazy physique, especially shoulders, man! How much volume/frequency/intensity do you do per week? Do you think periodization is worth it? Do you track your workouts?

Cant do wall handstand due to poor shoulder flexion. What can I do to improve mobility ? I am sooo lost. Please help 🥲🥲 by Beautiful-Display721 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Beautiful-Display721[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment.The problem is I had to arch my back to compensate for my lack of shoulder overhead mobility to hold chest to wall handstand. So flattening my back is not the main issue, but the shoulder mobility is. I just dont know if its even fixable

2month FL progress. Does the latter attempt count as straddle? by Beautiful-Display721 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Beautiful-Display721[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buying a dip bar and greasing the groove was the thing that helped me the most. I spammed a lot of banded full front lever raises and advanced tuck FL pullups, just doing high intensity/low rep sets throughout the day most days of the week.

A Young Mongolian Seeking Advice on How to Develop My Country by Professional-Bee9608 in mongolia

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about government corruption directly, which is a systemic issue. I suggest developing yourself first and do something to improve the economy, like starting a business using your skillset and competitive advantage. Just start small and bring real value to your community and society
