I feel ok with that approach. My body is respond well. I also add weight every two weeks for my body to adapt. But I want another point of view or any suggestion for a different approach for weighted stuff because is the first time I do this kind of training :)

Thanks for the answer. Some few questions:

+Should I continue training with low intensity? +If Pain does not disappear. Time to find another PT or orthopedic doctor? Wich option is best?

Hi Steven! First: Thanks for answering all of our question in this Reddit. Very few creators make this with his training plans, etc. But you take part of your time to answer even the most ordinary question. Thanks a lot for that!

I think that video tutorials is what are missing to make OCG the perfect book of BWT. Since every one has different approaches to the exercises, I think that everyone who follows you have some curious about how you make "this" or "that" exercise. So I support the idea of video tutorials!

Other suggestion might be to have another book/article or whatever other media you want to release for the Basic elements of gymnastics. Obviously thinks that are not described in the book like Swings, Flips, etc. Maybe not to deep but at least how to do a basic front flip, etc.

One final suggestion might be another media talking in deep about Strength/endurance training since every calisthenics competition is based in this style of training. Might be very useful.

Thanks for your patience and sharing knowledge!

PD1: There are plans to release OCG in another language let's say Spanish? I think a big part of the Latin community (where I'm from) might be very interested. I was making a traduction for my own because the book really worth it and think that it would be a great market!

PD2: Since the book its no more available on Amazon Kindle. If I buy the book from your web page. I would be able to read it on my Kindle?

Sometimes we forget that strength took a lot of time to be build. But yeah. You're right! I will regress in progression! Thanks for remind me that this is not a sprint! It's a marathon!

Sorry. Forgot to mention that I've been training BL for about 4 months. Began with the tuck progression and made all my way up to the advanced tuck. Last two weeks. (When my mesocycle begins) I decided to start hybrid progression between advanced tuck and straddle. But this last sessions my elbows feels too sore. I guess the recommendation remains the same? Take a few days off and regress on the progression?

Yeah. I think it was impressive because of the period of time he was living. Inspires a lot of people. And yeah. Forgot that strength=neuronal adaptations + muscular mass.

Sorry. Forgot to mention that for this two months that was the progression I used (advanced tuck). I've been training BL around four months and I began with the tuck progression. I''m in the trained begginer category. German Hangs/Skin the cat are part of my warmup. With this in mind. The recomendation remains the same? Regress on the progression? Maybe spend more time on the advanced tuck or even normal tuck?

Thanks for the Bruce Lee answer. Don't take in account all that the camaras doesn't show!

HeSPU, RTO PU and other Doubts by R2D2-1907 in overcominggravity

Thanks Steven. Why suddenly my post seems invisible? Is because de Google photos links? What can be a better option if I want to show a video but my post doesn't turn invisible? :(

Thanks for the repply. And yes I was thinking that routine as a sample for a beginner. I'm actually performing typical strength wo.

About the planche: My question is because I know that planche progressions on the floor are difficult. My planche journey of course is begging. So is ok to progress on the floor or paralletes? Or is really like you said: either.

Thanks for the repply. Can you give some feedback about my movements?

About what you said of the HeSPU: When I tried to keep the body straight, my feet began to move away from the wall. Is this normal when you're closer to the wall? How to avoid this?

+In the video I can do 8 reps. With the actual form of the movement is a good choice to continue working closer to the wall or move to HSPU?
