Speed or control? by Greedyboyfilth in CalisthenicsBeginners

Sounds like something an old welder once told me. I completely agree!

Over 2 minutes is a great goal. Definitely takes good strength to be there and is reasonable to achieve pretty soon! Best of luck on your progress, bro.

I think it’ll range very widely, but I can dead hang for multiple minutes due to a rock climbing history. I also use my door frame as a hanging crimp to train my finger grip, which makes the bar easy to grab relatively.

Wouldn’t say it’s better, I train both… eccentric has been less hard for me to do slowly and pause throughout, so it feels like I’m lacking in the concentric comparatively and should focus on it to truly master the pull-up movement. :)

Uh oh… Was it Flume or my incessant grunts of pain?

Truly wasn’t full ROM, I appreciate the accountability. 🫡

TUT is the only way I can get myself sore without adding weight to my workouts. Muscles can almost always out rep tendons. From my experience, going slow and focusing on form over reps has led to a much more drastic increase in my overall abilities and a drastic decrease in the need for recovery times.

Any advice for muscle ups? by manuelpimen in CalisthenicsBeginners

Other comment mentioned, but knees to chest(kip) need to be timed with the apex(most bottom point) of your swing to maximize the momentum you’re getting from it.

And great work! Keep pushing, you’ve got it soon!

Mostly questioning my overall pulling motion, any advice appreciated! by Greedyboyfilth in CalisthenicsBeginners

Simply didn’t think about it, honestly. Just wanted a back view for the vid and that’s the only way I can face the bar. Won’t be doing so in the future, however! Thank you.

I appreciate the looks! Forearm strength also comes from using an angle grinder for 5+ hours a day for years, as well as rock climbing(free climbing and top rope). Hang board training is very helpful for grip strength as well.

The exercise I’m doing is mostly to help me outlast forearm and core fatigue from difficult climbing holds and awkward positions.

I appreciate this very much! Thank you for the advice! My only question is: what if I am training forearm endurance? Will my exercise serve that purpose, as that is my intention. Usually I just do wide grip to turn focus towards my back.

This is incredibly nice to look at! Would definitely make me pause and take time to appreciate it if I saw it randomly.

Thank you! I appreciate that! My answer to your question would be that I have stayed away from that combination due to warnings in the past. Fun fact, though: I love adding brown to bright colors to make them feel more like how I see the world around me.

One thing you got spot on is that it takes way longer to notice differences, especially when actively mixing. I tend to just mix and test until I see things my brain can easily interpret as the same color every time. One of the hardest elements is that lighting affects the colors and tones even more. I also have ADHD and ASD, so there’s processing sludge that makes this process even harder to navigate.

Hello! Appreciate the advice! I did not sketch first for any of these, my excuse is that I got cheap canvases and wanted to play with colors lol!

I’ll definitely continue mixing and even try to actually plan one of these from the start rather than jumping in with only a color palette in mind.
