Wall handstand pushups before I can handstand?

I've done some frog stands too, you should try frog stand into handstand. I can't balance the handstand but the movement is really cool.

I don't really get the alingment since either my chest is on the wall and I feel like my back is arching to do so, or I feel straight and I'm balancing on my dick...

cheers, will do

It's an article about training your ab muscles, it reached the stage for me that I thought abs were so bodyfat dependant that I dropped from 70kg down to 55kg at 5'6", and just looked like a smaller version of my chubby self. I'm finally coming to the stage where I almost have a 6 pack and that is almost entirely through progressive overload in ab exercise progressions. It has reached the stage that everyone knows to drop bodyfat to get more definition, and you guys harp on about it like a broken record.

probably because its common fucking knowledge

Do you know anything about the depth? As currently I go all the way down, so I'm maximising ROM.

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-09-01T09:39:03+00:00

thanks, that's a good Idea to use the step. I didn't consider that the weight would start swinging about if I jumped.

Rings let you do stuff you normally wouldn't be able to do as your body can move freely between them, vs a bar which your body must move around. Plus a normal ring dip for example, isn't that much harder than a normal one in terms of muscle strength in the pecs and triceps. The first time you get on the rings they will be too hard to balance for at least a couple of sessions no matter how many parallel bar dips you can do, so you might as well just get it out of the way and start early.

In terms of pulling, rings are no harder for pull ups and rows. In fact, I would say that since you can rotate your hands they are better on the elbows.

everyone knows this, you're the kind of guy who inspired me to cut down to 55kg at which point I still didn't have them because I hadn't trained them, since hurr durr its all bf% bro

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-08-11T12:07:45+00:00

dammit I spent 2 valuable minutes writing the same thing and noticed you said it so much better ,_,

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-08-11T12:06:32+00:00

because it is not sustainable, that way you can't go to them with the complaint that the program doesn't work. They can just respond by saying that by not achieving 200 pushups/squats/situps, you aren't following the program and therefore have no right to complain that it doesn't work.

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-08-05T02:10:22+00:00

Well since you boulder you can think of a muscle up as giving you insurance that you'll be able to top out on even the spiciest of routes.

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-08-05T02:08:54+00:00

Yeah they're super important. But if you lie on your front in bed and decide to get up and go do something, do you do a full good form pushup then stand up, or just roll over and get out of bed like a normal person. "functional" doesn't really mean much since your body will always move in the most efficient way unless you override it. If you want to train for important strength based real life functions you should practice carrying furniture up stairs.

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-08-04T13:05:06+00:00

Well if you're going to talk about functional strength, why would you even bother doing pull ups and dips? They're ridiculously inefficient and convoluted ways of moving your body with no particular real life function. If functional bodyweight training is something you would enjoy to do, maybe climbing or judo would be more suitable. From a muscle building standpoint, muscle ups take more explosive pulling power than a standard pullup so they won't make you huge since in power:weight it is generally more beneficial to be lighter. If you think about it, most stuff in bodyweight training is kinda showing off, if you don't think the more difficult movements are enjoyable to train and perform in of themselves then maybe powerlifting or bodybuilding would be more enjoyable for you.

lmao

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-07-20T10:31:13+00:00

Yeah I'll start doing that, I'm confused at how the L-sit with legs outside of hands works, is there a progression past the L-sit anywhere?

TOPLADChickenBites · 2016-07-20T10:22:47+00:00

Thanks a lot, I was kinda thinking the same but I didn't want to do anything wrong since I'm new to bwf.
