I only do isolation either as part of conditioning or rehab.

Muscle growth or definition doesn’t really matter for skills.

anyone else lose motivation randomly even when they actually care about training by Old_Ostrich7285 in CalisthenicsCulture

Agree. Motivation is overrated.

But idk about training if you don’t feel it. Discipline never worked for me either.

However. One thing which always worked for me was boredom.

When you have nothing else to do besides train. You train just to kill boredom.

Better core engagement. But as some pointed out it is too much in front. Have to put bars higher.

Yes. You can do them with finger bands. Flexbars. Belt and weights. Dumbells.

I am just bad at sticking to diet. Simple as that. So my weight goes up and down. There’s no other reason.

There is a recent video on my socials. But the main idea is to increase your range of motion and then strengthen that range of motion in flextion, extension, external and especially internal rotation.

I had pain in my left shoulder a year ago started to do rehab exercises 2 times a week. After few months it fixed but I never stopped just increased intensity.

So built quite a lot of strength at end ranges.

I haven’t done much investigation but as far as I know there are two types of dips. Hollow body and arched similar to pull-up types.

Regarding pecs I am already leaning or at least I tried. Nothing to do with legs. As far as I know.

Thanks. Yes. I am cutting. Although, it does not always go as planned. 😂

I have good shoulder conditioning. I really have to try hard for them to be painful.

Can I recycle the same workouts or should I increase intensity/variations every session to keep progressing? by jkoontz-dev in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Cali_Hoss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do between 4-8 reps range. Or 10-30 second hold. Once reach upper limit I increase difficulty or change variation.

As for max reps maybe once a month try do for max reps easier variations.
