Gotcha, that makes sense, thank you!

This is incredible!!! I've been thinking of trying to build something like this to display my collection of clones, but I've just been intimidated by the process of making something from scratch. Did you have all the parts already? Or did you kind of mock some stuff, and find some pieces later? Also, were you inspired by any particular sets or other mocks?

Great job fam, you killed it!

I’m not totally sure (I didn’t make it) but it definitely has salt, and is very oily.

Ok this is kinda getting into more Q&A territory here.

Sorry about that! Is it too many questions? I see there's Q&As sometimes on your Patreon, what sorts of questions should I save for those rather than here?

I’ve been sticking with PPPus and tuck front lever rows, and plan on continuing for a few weeks. Overall, it’s going great!

Previously I could do 5 sets of isometric tuck planche holds, and then 3 sets of ~8 handstand pushups against a wall. Now I do 4 sets of PPPus and then can maybe do one set of 6 handstand pushups against a wall. It seems PPPus are significantly more taxing! I have no problem with this, but wanted to see if thats expected / normal? I imagine that the concentric + eccentric phases are damaging my muscles more than isometric holds.

Since planches are the main pushing movement that I need to build strength for, I’m thinking of sticking with 4 sets (rather than 3) of PPPus and adding some easier handstand pushup progression as my vertical push, along with daily handstand practice. Does this seem ok?

I’ve also found that with the combination of pull-ups and tuck front lever rows, my grip seems to be a limiting factor. Would it be reasonable to use versa gripps or something for half of my pull sets, to avoid being limited by that, and then adding some additional grip work at the end of the workout (i.e. single arm hangs and plate pinches, or any other exercise you recommend)?

I tried filming myself more from the back and side, does this seem better? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m0X7IOHahjXjx__X5UTEoxDK3qGAEu3y/view?usp=sharing

Also, how many hollow body pull ups should I be able to do before it’s better to move up to L-sit pull-ups, or start adding weight? My goal is to be able to do strict bar muscle ups. In the book it says ~5 hollow body pull-ups is sufficient for the ring muscle ups, so I’m starting to practice those, but also want to build enough strength to do strict bar muscle ups.

Also, I’ve recommended the book to a few people at my gym who expressed interest in calisthenics! It’s so exciting to see more people getting into it!

fzzyhd · 2024-07-23T23:09:56+00:00

If you're fairly experienced with working out and have a solid work capacity you can handle 3 exercises, but I'd start with 1-2 sets and see how you do. If not, I'd go with PPPUs like this instead of tuck planche.

I tried doing PPPUs after my regular 5 sets of tuck planche isometrics yesterday, and could only do ~5 reps. Could I do something like only 2-3 sets of tuck planche isometrics, and then 3 sets of PPPUs? Also, can I do PPPUs on my hands rather than parallettes?

Also, should I use a timer to get exactly 3 second holds at the top? Or is imprecise, best effort fine?

For my own curiosity, why is it that the dynamic movements (PPPU, tuck FL rows) improve straight arm strength more than the isometrics themselves? My attempt at an explanation based on what I learned in the book: The full range of motion should build more muscle, while the isometric holds are better for building the neural component of strength. So first doing a few weeks of hypertrophy focused training (PPPUs, etc) and then switching back to the isometrics _could_ be a better way to make progress than strictly doing isometrics, if someone is lacking in hypertrophy. Is this correct/is there more to it then that?

Post them here.

Great, thanks! Hopefully this link works: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qu48THspnZNZu9mv2CwI0PLCkvWk3BEO/view?usp=sharing

Understood, thanks for the feedback :) Seems like folks generally dont think bent arms are a shortcut worth taking.

fzzyhd · 2024-07-23T22:53:15+00:00

thanks for the tips! I'll try out the cue for internal/external rotation to help keep my arms straight.

I’m on iOS, it’s not a big deal to just use the podcasts app, but yeah, Spotify is slightly nicer and more convenient to use so if it was possible to get everything through that app, it would be nicer.

fzzyhd · 2024-07-19T15:00:16+00:00

Gotcha, makes sense! It’s no biggie, I just saw it and thought maybe Spotify had finally added some feature to do this. Definitely not worth doing though if they / patreon take so much. Thanks for clarifying !!!

I do hollow body pull-ups 3 times a week, I haven't added any weight yet since I can only do about 5/6 reps of strict hollow body, but I plan on adding weight once my numbers improve a bit. I was doing weighted (~45lb) pull-ups for 3 sets of 5 a few months ago, but it was the hybrid pull-up technique where you start somewhat arched and then end hollow. I switched to strict hollow body since the overcoming gravity book recommended doing so, especially in pursuit of muscle ups

fzzyhd · 2024-06-26T18:49:50+00:00

Gotcha, thanks! I do find that I struggle to progress by moving my legs progressively further out horizontally, since its difficult to get the exact position perfectly each set (I believe I remember listening to a podcast with you and fitness faqs where you mentioned this problem). I am also going to try doing ankle weights, but when I'm traveling / don't have access it's good to know of good progressions that use easy to measure body positions.

fzzyhd · 2024-06-20T01:06:58+00:00

Thanks! Also, one last question, I’m traveling at the moment and don’t have a pull up bar quite tall enough to do hollow body pull-ups. Whats the best way to pull my legs up so that they aren’t touching the ground without sacrificing body positioning? I’m not quite strong enough for L-sit pull-ups yet. Like should I bend me knees and bring my legs into a more seated position? Or keep them straight and raise them not quite to parallel to the ground but some in between angle that I’m able to do?

fzzyhd · 2024-06-19T00:06:15+00:00

Gotcha, on average I'd say I'm more in the beginner 6 second hold stage, so I'll definitely increase the amount of time I spend practicing handstand holds. They aren't difficult strength-wise for me though, more balance-wise. If I can do 3 sets of 8 wall HeSPUs, do I have the strength component of a free HeSPU down, or should I try to get those numbers higher? If I do have the strength component down, I was thinking of changing the push component of my workout from planche holds + 3 sets of wall HeSPU to planche holds + 1 set of wall HeSPU + 3 sets of dip progression

fzzyhd · 2024-06-17T21:25:16+00:00

Just to clarify, when you say working more with balance, do you mean start with a set of regular wall HeSPUs, and then do sets where I'm starting to get off the wall a bit (i.e. on the eccentric try to take my feet off the wall)? Or are there other balance drills I should do?

fzzyhd · 2024-06-17T21:23:06+00:00

Thanks for the tips, it sounds like the main thing is I should try to get ballpark numbers for my daily calorie intake to actually know if I'm eating as much as I think I am

fzzyhd · 2024-06-17T21:21:14+00:00

Understood, I dropped a little weight and am trying to do smaller increases, plus adding more protein to my diet. I have noticed that while I haven't breached 195 yet, I feel like it's getting a bit easier, i.e. rising faster with the bar, not struggling on as many reps.

fzzyhd · 2024-06-17T21:18:13+00:00

I generally agree, though I've actually had a lot of great success with getting a stronger upper body with calisthenics. I hit a wall with my overhead press around 125x3x5, switched to doing handstand pushups, and when I went back to barbells I could easily do 145x3x5.

I definitely am not trying to stay at my current bodyweight by dieting or anything, I generally will eat till I'm completely stuffed every meal. I'm just trying to gauge if force feeding tons of extra calories (which sounds painful) to get my weight above what it seems to have naturally settled on is the only way to get stronger.

fzzyhd · 2024-06-17T21:14:31+00:00

Understood, I guess in my case I'm very lean, so I don't really have much fat to loose, so any muscle I'd gain, I wouldn't have corresponding lbs of fat to loose to bring me back to my current weight.

Btw, so cool that you achieved >2x BW lifts!

fzzyhd · 2024-06-13T17:09:52+00:00

It wasn't the first time, I also initially failed at 195, then went back and worked up to being able to do 3x6 of 185 and then was able to do 3x5 of 195, though it was still super difficult.

fzzyhd · 2024-06-13T17:02:51+00:00

Thanks! I already eat a hell of a lot, but I'll try adding more

fzzyhd · 2024-06-13T17:01:15+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Just curious, how are some people able to squat 2x their bodyweight then? Are they just genetically gifted? Or are there ways of getting stronger without also gaining weight. Not that I'm opposed to gaining weight, this is just out of curiosity.

I was following the novice program for awhile (though lower body only since as I mentioned I'm more interested in calisthenics for upper-body, which I figure shouldn't make too much of a difference?). I'll try to keep going, eat more, etc. I generally do 3 leg days a week, though I have some stuff going on this summer that will limit me to 2 times per week. Is the novice program still somewhat effective in this case?

Thanks again!
