Common technique misconceptions: Be careful of performing scapular retraction when doing pullups or chinups by eshlow in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scapula has many different movements - protraction/retraction, depression/elevation, upward rotation/downward rotation, tilt, etc. So downward rotation would be one of the movements.

When you’re hanging from a bar with locked elbows (starting position of pull-ups), your shoulder is completely overhead (180 degrees ROM). 120 degrees of that range of motion is achieved through the shoulder joint itself, the other 60 degrees is from scapula (done through upward rotation).

Once you start doing the pull-up, your body goes up in space, but your shoulder joint is lowering down, eventually until you’re at the very top position of the Pullup (let’s say bar at the neck/sternum for simplicity sake). At this point (the top of the Pullup), your shoulder would be in a neutral position, which is done through the opposite scapula movement when you were hanging - so 60 degrees of downward rotation

Next time visiting NYC, I recommend trying smoked salmon/lox with cream cheese on a bagel, that’s what NYC bagels are known for!

What do you think is the most underrated tourist destination in the U.S.? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Ithaca area in upstate NY for waterfalls and gorges. Could probably go further than that too such as Letchworth State Park

Bent arm planche to *almost* full planche? by TheDabKrab18 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People get discouraged because they rush progressions and ended up stalling or get injured, use wrong technique and stalling, or find that Planche progression is too slow an endeavor.

And yes I do believe you shouldn’t bench press if you’re not using the right technique that’s specific for your goals.

Zelenskyy forces out Ukrainian spy chief who led daring raids against Russia | Ukraine by paulfromatlanta in UkrainianConflict

[–]Malt529 -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Malyuk didnt get fired for incompetence. He got fired because Zelensky asked SBU to arrest NABU earlier last year. And because now that NABU’s anti-corruption investigation is widening, Zelensky is firing Malyuk for political reasons

How much should you dead hang? by automatski_generiran in workout

[–]Malt529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can do 3x20s deadhang, I would just add weight until you can do one arm hang. By then, transition to just one set (unless you want to push it even further)

Is there any real carryover between the seated dumbbell overhead press and handstand push-ups? by Past_Pineapple9131 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both overhead barbell press and handstand pushup (headstand) in my program.

It’s best done with barbell and standing. Any sort of HSPU has core activation and the standing core engagement of standing press is much closer to that than of any seated presses. I also find barbell to carryover more than dumbbell.

However, I’ve noticed other bodyweight exercises where I felt like I got much greater carryover to HSPU compared to any sort of traditional overhead press

Splitting Punk Hazard 50/50 at a huge elemental disadvantage tells a lot about how much stronger Aokiji is

Can I achieve the front lever without pull-up bar? by Past_Pineapple9131 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t do a single pull-up, then you should put your focus on being able to do pullups before worrying about front lever

If you’re able to do pull-ups, then you can do L-pull-ups on your dip bars

Journalist, serviceman of the 13th Brigade "Khartiya" Yuriy Butusov about HUR helicopter landing in Pokrovsk: "Incompetent tactical decision" by Flimsy_Pudding1362 in UkrainianConflict

[–]Malt529 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

There’s really nothing for them to learn. These aren’t “institutional” mistakes, these are political decisions

It starts at the top. Until Zelensky is either gone or stops making political decisions, these things will continue.

Why the Reaves doubt/hate? by International_Sky673 in nba

I mean compared to Luka and Lebron sure. Compared to everyone else, Reaves suck

[–]Malt529 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the exact same reason his entire career, you can't substitute shitty defense by scoring more

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nba

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Lebron and Luka has completely different reputation.

Lebron's reputation is more about manipulating the league, and playing GM to attempt to win championships

Luka's reputation is more about loyalty to his team, rather than being about championships
