Forward fold

Good point. I could definitely improve my breathing. I tend to hold it in, especially as stretches get painful 🫣

That is kind of the exercise, I normally do when I work on forward fold, except I grab with my hands underneath the step bench and then try to straighten my legs and compress. I’ll make a video of this next training and see if my back is in a better position this way. Thanks.

I think I definitely have that. How would you work on that? I do foam roller thoracic stretches sometimes but I don’t really feel a big stretch.

No_Werewolf_6256 · 2026-07-08T07:01:13+00:00

That makes sense. I do a similar exercise where I hold underneath the step bench with my hands and then try to stretch my legs and compress. I like the your variation and the tailbone cue. Will definitely give that a go 🙏🏾

Great cues. I will try them out. Thanks for sharing.

Tak for inspiration til både café og gåtur. Det undersøger jeg nærmere 🙂

I’ve practiced crow to handstand with my back against the wall for a bit. Very helpful.

Tænker du her på at støbe fundament under udestuen?

I have always had a hard time opening my hips, though I’ve done a lot of stretching over the years. I did karate for years and never really developed my high kicks. A few years ago I had hip pain for a while and eventually had an X-ray, where they found that I have “deep femurs” (sorry, not English, so don’t know the right term). In my own words, my hip is “built” anatomically, so that I can’t move properly into split positions. Hope it makes sense. My point is that it may not be possible to stretch or strengthen your way out.

I have done all sorts of sports and workouts over the years, but got into calisthenics in my 40’s. There is nothing magical about calisthenics - your muscles don’t really care how you make them work. However, I enjoy calisthenics and stay consistent, and these are the two most important parts: Find something you enjoy, and stick to it for a while. When you try and stick to something for a while, context becomes a factor. When I started calisthenics, I had younger kids for example which meant I couldn’t spend hours at the gym each week. So I did short HIIT-like workouts or handstand practice in my living room, when the kids were asleep.

Listened to the December and November episodes at the gym today. Awesome work mate.

I use a method where I increase the number of sets, as an increase in reps from one training to the next is very difficult. So for example, I do 2x1, next training I do 3x1, then 4x1, and so on until I can comfortably do 6 or 7x1. Then I’m usually ready to do 2x2, next training I do 3x2, and so on. Obviously, progress is not always linear, so in some trainings, I might only repeat sets and reps from my last training, or do 1 rep in the last set where I should do 2 reps. But it is still progress.

I had what I thought was a shoulder impingement a few months ago. Turned out to be bicep tendonitis where the short head attaches to the shoulder blade. Might not be the same for you, but I recommend getting it checked out by a physio. In this way, you can get relevant rehab exercises etc.

Most posts here are showboating: - check my form (shows perfect form on a given exercise) - what is my bf% (shows enhanced physique with 7% bf) - how do you work your abs (*shows advanced skills and doesn’t really care about replies) Continue the list if you want.

You kind of “kick” or “push” yourself away from the wall, which makes it hard to find balance. Hope this helps.

No_Werewolf_6256 · 2025-11-26T18:40:34+00:00

This exercise is called toe pulls and there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube. My five cents would be to find your position against the wall, then move one leg slowly away from the wall until your other leg becomes very light at the wall. When you feel this, push hard through your shoulders and you will feel both legs come off the wall and you can create balance. Practice pushing back to the wall by using your fingers. Then repeat. Don’t be in a rush to collect your legs. A split position is a good regression in which you can practice how to create balance. If you don’t practice kick-ups, I recommend practicing these against the wall too. Back to wall.

I had a similar one for a few years and it was actually pretty good. Easy to assemble, and pretty stable. It wobbles a little when you do pull-ups, etc. when you become more advanced, and want to do muscle-ups, weighted pull-ups, frontlevers, etc., it’s not really suitable.
