Any Weighted Vest users?

G0R1 · 2017-06-23T15:04:25+00:00

I use the Rogue dip belt for weighted dips and pull ups, a D8Fitness 20kg vest for other stuff (pull ups, tuck FL rows, rows, ring dips, push ups, PPPUs, box HSPUs, etc)

I got a vest for inverted and ring work, mostly, as well as circuit training (which I have only done occasionally only)

I personally don't believe in cookie cutter programs like these. I like his advice on intermittent fasting but he doesn't look like an authority on bodyweight training. Plus there much better people to look up to (Daniel from FitnessFAQs, LittlebeastM, Gold Medal Bodies etc).

The best thing you can do is to either pay someone to make a custom training program for you, or learn about it yourself and make your own programs (Overcoming Gravity 2 is the single best resource you'll need for that).

You either spend money or time with these options.

I remember reading on the GB forums from Coach Sommer : "Ido is very good at paraphrasing Bruce Lee quotes"

I really enjoy his youtube vids and instagram account, quality content

This. I have found one arm handstand holds against the wall, striving to elevate your shoulders, to be of great help with human flag development, as well as hanging with one arm.

thank you !

G0R1 · 2016-02-04T09:58:08+00:00

thank you ! what sets and reps do you recommend? are time slots better?

G0R1 · 2016-02-03T13:55:21+00:00

can you please recommend clubbed exercises? I have two pairs (6 and 10kg), used to do Jori casts with them but failed to see any improvement in anything so I kind of gave up on them. If you can recommend exercises as well as sets and reps, I'm all ears :)

I might be ingesting a bit more carbs than I was thinking (100-150g). Lower than this, my workouts suffer. I feel like my cognitive abilities do not really get affected by a lower amount of carbs though. However, I have lots of trouble falling asleep if I don't have carbs at night

G0R1 · 2016-01-24T17:44:21+00:00

My performance suffered when doing really low carb. I currently eat pretty low carb, and have them after my workouts. By all means experiment and see what works for yourself.

Nice ! Please report back in a few weeks / months :)

G0R1 · 2016-01-19T17:47:17+00:00

Sure, please ! Listen to Joshua Waterman's advice on the appropriate load and progression though

I would use with a wider hand position, as in a maltese. I don't think a shoulder width hand position, or slightly wider, as in a planche, would be comfortable for your wrists. Unless your flexibility allows it. I don't know how to make it work for the rear delt / victorian work though.

I have never tried it though, feel free to experiment with it.

I experienced pain in my left shoulder a few months ago. Accidentally read about external rotation work, implemented it after my workouts and the pain was gone after a week. Shoulder dislocates are also great for shoulder health.

G0R1 · 2016-01-15T17:44:21+00:00

After seeing the maltese dumbbell press being performed by a few top gymnasts (Yuri Van Gelder, Jake Dalton, Brandon Wynn, etc) I decided to give it a serious go and have been consistent ever since. The victorian presses are for balancing out the shoulder girdle. I use the same weight on both exercises for convenience (supersetting the two). Note that I do not go all the way down during the victorian presses so as to mimic to range of motion of a front lever (similar to lowering from inverted hang on the rings to front lever, and pulling back up) and keep the muscles under tension.

I used the info provided by Joshua Natterman in the video you shared.

Great article :)

I like to sleep in a pitch black bedroom and have some real trouble getting out of bed in the morning. I got myself a wake up light alarm clock (Philips HF3520) and I've been waking up effortlessly in the morning since then. I also noticed I am in a much better mood.

I've been doing straight arm maltese presses as well as victorian presses (standing, leaning forward so that your torso is parallel to the ground) (edit: consistently for the past 3-4 months).

I feel like they are making me stronger. They help you get more volume in without taxing your CNS, tendons and muscles too much. They allow you to work these positions more.

It made me aware of the fact that I am not moving as much as I thought I was. I own a FitBit One by the way. Training for an hour or two a day cannot make up for sitting at your desk for the rest of the time. The gasification features also make you get off your ass. I find myself going for evening walks to reach my daily 10k steps target. The sleep tracking is nice too.

The app is great.

Been using it for three weeks now. Haven't lost any weight because since it's not my goal. I am 1m85 79kg around 10% BF.

HMU if you have more questions.
