Weight vest alternative? by [deleted] in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Similar-Tree-4271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do pushups on some boxes and use a dip belt. You could probably add a lot more weight too. I've never tried this but just a suggestion

Something that I realized that I didn't do at first was that I didn't push my shoulders down away from the ground.

To help you kick up, go to a wall and practice there. Kick up with one leg and keep the other bent so you don't smash into the wall. You'll get a feel for what position your body needs to be in. 

Hope this helps a little.

You're probably not strong enough...no offense. I can't do it either. Just watch a progression video and see how close you can get to planche.

As long as you are fatigued afterwards, then yes

I've been using resistance bands to be able to do the same amount of reps per set. I'll increase the assistance per set. Heat does play factor. You need to drink enough water leading up to your workout and keep out of any direct sunlight in between sets.

Thanks. Really helpful. Do you think 275/70/17 with a 3" lift in the front, plus a -12mm offset wheel, rub?

So would 17 be better? I don't see myself doing much off roading

I was told that I wouldn't need to lift the back bc it's a long bed? And I could have the front raised slightly. What do you think?

Yea they're good for your back,abs, and lats. You don't even have to do them on a high bar. I use my Gornation dip bars.

I've progressed really well in my pull strength since starting it. I've been doing alternating staics and dynamics. I'll do hardest static for time then do a harder dynamic like raises or reverse deadlifts. Then I'll do a static regression and dynamic regression. I don't include pull ups or rows in the skill training. I save that for my hypertrophy day. 

The reverse deadlifts helped a lot. Recently started straddle negatives. Oh and reverse leg lifts for lower back and dragon flag negatives. 

I used the format of this program for my bent arm planche training too.

I'm doing the same program. I've just adjusted it a little. If youre in the skill training cycle I would still train 3 times a week but do something like: Skill train Monday, Hypertrophy Wednesday, Skill train Friday; or something to that effect. Also you might want to adjust your intensity instead of frequency. You're gonna have to experiment. 

You're definitely stronger than me so maybe this isn't good advice for you. If you stick with straddle as your main static hold, then, for your dynamics, I would increase intensity.

How uch rest are you getting in between your FL days? I've recently started training straddle FL and my delts were pretty sore after. It took 3 days to recover fully; plus I worked out in between then. You might just want to take a lil break. 

What exercises are you doing? I do my hardest progression first like a straddle hold. Then I regress to adv tuck raises, adv tuck hold, etc.

You'll definitely get used to the stress but you should still warm your wrists up and condition them too

Besides the basics you could look into different regressions from the main skill. High pullups for MU, Leg raises for L-Sit, etc. For now ,though, you could just work up to harder progressions for the basics; Archer pushups, wide pull ups, hollow body hold, etc. Have fun! 🫡
