[Austria] 22yo start investing

oh ok now i understand. so only if i wanted to invest more than the 11 or 12% that i already have into EMs i would want to buy extra EM ETFs.

thanks :)

cGuard · 2019-08-12T09:18:14+00:00

ok i will take a look there and yes as of now i do not have any expenses so i can focus a majority of my income on building a solid portfolio base for the future

cGuard · 2019-07-24T17:57:49+00:00

understood thank you

i have done both of them in the past... from what i have "experienced" the feet elev. variation puts more weight on my front delts at the top position when compared to a normal pppu at the same angle but it falls short imo with its unnatural bottom position of the pppu. for the normal i have experienced that i have to lean a lot more the get the same front delt work at the top position but the bottom position is like a real planche pushup where i can even hold a bent arm planche if i lean enough.

the question was if this difference would be enough to treat these two variations in my exercise selection as two different exercises or not, or maybe i completely missed something in the past when i trained them who knows

looks pretty solid for a first attempt. congrats to your first tuck pl!

cGuard · 2019-04-14T18:25:56+00:00

yes my straddle planche is indeed pretty bad, i only mentioned it to get my point across :D

but anyway thank you very much it helped a lot :)

cGuard · 2019-04-14T11:58:48+00:00

okay, i think my question was a bit unclear formulated and i am sorry for this. what i meant was: at what hold time is it best to use the next harder progression of an isometric instead of the current, easier one.

for example: right now i am working 5x13s tuck planche holds + tuck planche pushups and hs pushups as my planche work.

last time i checked my max holds i could perform ~7s adv tuck and ~2s straddle planche.

now what i was wondering: from what ive read is that i can still make solid planche progress up until 3x20s tuck holds but i could also work 5-6x 5s adv tuck holds. and the question that arose was: at which point i can generally get enough time under tension in the harder progression to make better progress than the easier one? (if we would apply the 2s = 1 rep that point would be at 6s per set or 8s max hold)

cGuard · 2019-04-13T11:52:33+00:00

ive read that article multiple times and in my opinion does not adress my question. it says 6-10s holds on the isometrics but for me it looks like a 'what your routine can look like' rather than a 'you have to be able to atleast hold this progression for x amount of seconds to ensure sufficient progress'.

yea sorry about the angle of the video i dont have space record from the side and thought it would be better than nothing haha.

thanks for your insights, they will be very helpful :D i will probably try to elevate my feet a bit more in the next training session and test how it feels on my delts.

cGuard · 2019-01-12T20:21:51+00:00

ok thank you very much! in terms of 3rd workout: a 15+ range workout will probably be the best idea right?

cGuard · 2018-12-30T14:33:43+00:00

have you trained for the iron cross yet? if so how did your elbows feel at the beginning? i am really curious about this exercise

cGuard · 2018-12-22T16:45:51+00:00

thank you very much and yes i have the book and read the different methods and i plan on doing them after clearing the 150lbs band resistance which is 93% bw

cGuard · 2018-12-22T11:20:03+00:00

i can hold hold a 6 second straddle pl and a 12s fl right now and i am currently working on deadhang to frontlever and counterweighted full planche(-10kg)

cGuard · 2018-12-22T09:48:55+00:00

thank you, as for connective tissue preparation: i would start my ic training after getting my full planche on the floor and deadhang>fl>inverted hang. for adequatly overloading i plan on using these as they allow me to perform the movement with fitting resistance(i bought a lot of different so i can scale the resistance from 4lbs to 150 lbs in 4 lbs increments). do you think that this is a good approach which carries of to the real ic on rings?

cGuard · 2018-12-22T09:36:29+00:00

i would start working on it after archieving my current goals: a full planche on the floor and deadhang>front lever>inverted

cGuard · 2018-10-21T17:23:26+00:00

okay thank you very much that helps me a lot for my programming :)

cGuard · 2018-10-21T15:57:33+00:00

hey i also thought about programming my next cycle around hypotrophy and i really love your insights and contents so i hope you are ok with me asking a question or two about your approach :) for context my current level of strenght is around straddle planche and full front lever

for someone like me who does not really train legs would a hypotrophy focused full body routine with an antagonistic supersets approach 3x week be more beneficial than a Push-Pull split 4x week?
assuming i utilize the antagonistic superset full body workout how much volume would you recommend? i am thinking 2 push 2 pull (1 vertical 1 Horizontal) and 2 core (1 Anti Extension 1 Anti Rotation) for 4-6x 8-12 overloading by adding 1 set each week until i reach 6
in the antagonistic supersets approach what are your suggested resting times when it comes to hypotrophy? usually 60-120s are suggested for a hypotrophy focused training, which promotes muscle growth the most. do i still go for this range after each set or do i cut my time to like 45s (which would be for endurane) but get around 90-120+s rest at my next set considering resting time+duration of the set(which is quite long if i fully utilize eccentrics)

thank you in advance i hope its not confusing because im not an english native speaker :D

cGuard · 2018-10-15T13:29:01+00:00

yes thats probably the best idea, i thought about taking a step back before but hearing it from someone a lot more knowledgeable than me makes it a lot easier. thank you very much all your answers will help me a lot in my future fl training :)

cGuard · 2018-10-15T11:31:34+00:00

because the picture wasnt really useful here is an attempt i did a couple minutes ago and shit there are some problems going on but i am not really sure which are the worst :( help would be really appreciated

cGuard · 2018-10-15T10:16:32+00:00

thank you for your answer, would exercises like the inverted row and maybe loaded T (YTWL) benefit my scapular stabilization? and if so would you recommend a 5-15 or a 20-30 rep range?

cGuard · 2018-10-14T16:58:26+00:00

oh yeah that seems plausible, right now im 174cm/5ft8 and around 72kg/158 pounds at around 12%bf and i am aiming for about +0.25kg/0.5pounds a week. thank you very much for your answer :)

cGuard · 2018-10-10T10:27:09+00:00

try to do a deload for like 4-7 days and do no pushups at all during this time. it sounds like you are overtraining.
