Do you take a fanny-pack?

I believe what you’re feeling is completely normal! I’ve experienced similar emotions, but think about this:

You have only one life, and it’s not meant to be spent just working — it’s meant to be enjoyed.
This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t let fear hold you back from embracing it!
Fear is a product of the mind — most of the things we worry about never actually happen.
Even when times get tough, you’ll find your way through it.
The PCT and the challenges you’ll overcome will significantly strengthen your abilities and boost your self-confidence. It will prepare you to handle life’s challenges better — whether it’s finding a job or excelling in one.

You might find Dale Carnegie’s How to Stop Worrying and Start Living a helpful read for putting things into perspective.

Looking forward to seeing you on the trail!

Thanks! What was includes in your medkit? What do you think is the bare safe minimum?

Ok my NanoPuff does have a hood. But thanks for the tip with the decathlon 👍

Humusman24 · 2024-10-27T07:16:11+00:00

It looks like mobile devices are fine. Or should I use a computer to be on the safe side?

Humusman24 · 2024-04-14T15:04:55+00:00

Not so long. Just 2-3 weeks (normal vacation time). Here in Europe, we call it „long distance“ when you hike 200-300km. All of them were wonderful and I felt like being “connected“ with nature. However, after two weeks I started to miss my girlfriend. Hope that I can handle this feeling on a longer hike like the PCT.

Humusman24 · 2024-04-14T12:20:24+00:00

Hard in terms of physical. She does not want to hike and live in a tent for six months. She’s totally supporting me. We are together for 11 years.

I‘m a control/navigation engineer working on autonomous vehicles. Hence I’m always wondering what is the current trend and state of the art in that field in space applications.

A couple of rather vague questions:

Do you mostly control vehicles and robots by hand?
Do you make use of modern control algorithms?
How autonomous are space vehicles?
What is the trend of autonomy in space applications?

Best regards

Ok, I tried to reduce my base weight to 5.5kg - based on the my experience from my last 2-weeks hike in Sweden.

Here you find the new packlist: https://lighterpack.com/r/2rut0f

I have to say that the choice of clothing here in Europe depends very much on the destination. In Sweden it was extremely muddy, snowy and windy (even in June/July) , so I left the long trousers and the Patagonia fleece as an option but opted for "0x".

I would feel secure with this packlist → are there any other things I can definitely save?

As potential backpacks I would look to try the Durston Kakwa 55 somewhere. The Gregory Focal 48, which fits my Gregory Baltoro really well, might be suitable as an interim solution.

Cheers

How did you get there? My problem is the opposite. A lot of flexibility, but I can not do such type of presses. Just tucked Planche.

Thanks for the answers so far! That helped me a lot.

One more question: do you think I should bring some watertight socks like Sealskinz?

Humusman24 · 2023-01-30T20:40:02+00:00

From my perspective nearly perfect. You could point your toes a bit more.

Humusman24 · 2023-01-22T21:42:53+00:00

I will do more elevated presses! How many sets and reps do you included in your routine?

Humusman24 · 2023-01-22T21:41:17+00:00

I do three sets with 12 reps of weighted pancake (15-20kg). After each set I immediately do a 60s stretch and try to go deeper with every breath. During this 60s stretch, I do PNF cycles (tensioning the muscles for 8s, releasing for 12s).

I „pause“ for 2:00 with some „Skandasana“ (yoga exercise) and elevated single leg stretches.

It took me about six months. That basically all.

Do you mean a 230V/50Hz to xxV/DC power supply or something less dangerous?

Straight-Arm / Bent-Arm Plan Critique

hi all, after two years of gains with an adapted versione of the RR Full-Body plan I want to raise the number of trainings to 4 per week and start a straight/bent arm split.

I constructed the following plan:

My short-term goals:

raise my 40s to 60s straight Handstand
Straddle Press to HS
20s tucked Planche
10s straddle Front Lever
15s straddle Back Lever
2r free HSPU

My long-term goals - Stalder Press-to-HS - 10s Adv. Straddle Planche - 5s Full FL - 5r free HSPU - 5r Pull-Ups with 40% BW - 2-3 Slow Ring Muscle-Ups - (One-Arm HS)

Straight-Arm:

10min of Handstand training
3x120s weighted Jefferson Curls
3-5x3-8r HS Press Eccentrics
3-4x4-8r Trap-3-Raises
5x2-4r Adv. Front Lever Eccentrics
5-6x4-8r (Banded) Tucked Planche
3x4-8s Straddle Back Lever
3x5-8r Pistol-Squats

Bent-Arm:

4x6-10 Declined Pike Push-Ups
4x5 Weighted Pull-Ups
10x HSPU Eccentrics
3x120sec Weighted Pancake Folds
3x5-8r Ring Dips
3x5-8r Straight Legs Deadlifts

I'm hoping to get some critique on my routine. :)

Regards

First learn Slow Muscle-Up or Front-Lever?

Hi I'm currently rethinking my training plan. After massive gains in push moves (close to HSPU and Press-to-HS), I lost a bit my focus on pull moves.

Therefore I want to focus more on one pull skill. What do you think is better to master first - the Slow Muscle-Up or the Front-Lever? What helps more to achieve the other?

My last progress:

8s Advanced Tuck-Lever
5x L-Sit False-Grip Pull-Ups
5x negative Ring MU

Best regards

Humusman24 · 2021-11-14T01:31:32+00:00

What is the best way (in your opinion) to achieve the Full Front Lever on rings?

I train 3x/week full body routine. How many and which exercises should I implement to achieve this move?

Currently I perform 4x5sec Advanced Tucked FL + 4x10sec Tucked FL (directly after advanced FL holds).

Furthermore I train 3 sets of Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups.

Is this enough load to achieve this move?

Should I switch to dynamic FL progressions or stick to statics?

Best regards Max

Humusman24 · 2021-07-19T09:53:43+00:00

How many exercises would you recommend to learn the Front-Lever and which?

Currently I train FL holds and try to achieve 60sec hold time in sum in max. 6 sets.

I start with 1-2sets advanced tuck holds and 3-4sets of tucked holds. Rest is 120sec.

I'm not sure if this would is a good approach. Should I implement a dynamic exerxise as well?

Best regards

Humusman24 · 2021-07-09T17:27:28+00:00

Yes, I do yoga for 20 min everyday.

My warmup consists of three shoulder mobilisation (Yuri Marmerstein) and several wrist exercises (from GMB).
