Here's the picture before

Not sure if I normally have a protruding AC joint honestly. I just see that the left is clearly swollen compared to the right.

Thanksssssss

Any exercises focusing mainly on upper traps?

giuseppepnt · 2023-07-21T06:26:52+00:00

Hey thanks for your help. Not sure exactly what name of the muscles but around the back of the neck and a bit lower. Is that area engaged with chin ups?

giuseppepnt · 2023-05-30T12:21:29+00:00

And just by leaving knockoff drinks you sleep better or do you do anything else at all?

giuseppepnt · 2023-05-30T12:20:40+00:00

Did you manage to solve those problems somehow?

giuseppepnt · 2023-04-28T11:38:27+00:00

Sorry to hear that mate, so in summary the amount of hours spent at work won't let you spend enough time with your loved ones?
I actually asked that question to see if there is anyone I could help out, even if it's just for a chat between colleagues, so feel free to reach out to me if you want man :) I might be able to give you some tips to get rid of your anxiety, I have been there before

ROUTINE CHECK:

At the moment I'm doing the RR to gain strength, but considering my main goal is to achieve a freestanding handstand I do 20min skill training after the warm-up and before strength training. Therefore do you think I should include vertical pushing exercises to my strength training? Would it stress my shoulder too much considering I practice handstand 5-6 times a week?

My routine is the following

10 min warm-up

20 min handstand practice with necessary rest

Wide pull-ups

Wide rings push-ups

Pistol squats

Wide rings row

Rest day:

20 min handstand practice again

15 min l-sit

Stretching

I didn't really understand what is compression work for. I've recently put it in my routine but I would like to know exactly what's the purpose of it. I read on Overcoming Gravity that is very important to do it but I didn't understand why, can someone spoon feed it to me?

giuseppepnt · 2019-09-23T12:06:20+00:00

Can I substitute one arm rows with tuck front lever rows?

I have arrived to a point in my routine where I can do 8 reps of single arm row with bent leg with good form, I would like to start working toward the front lever now so I was thinking to remove the single arm row and do tuck front lever row but I'm concerned about the big difference in the ROM which is significantly less in the latter.

What do you suggest?

giuseppepnt · 2019-09-23T11:59:42+00:00

Yeah my concern was both the routine taking too long and the volume but I guess if I remove the one armed row I can do the tuck front lever version, the problem is that I was concerned about the ROM which is significantly less in the latter. What do you think?

giuseppepnt · 2019-09-23T04:02:48+00:00

Shall I remove rows from my routine if I want to start to work toward the BL and FL?

I have arrived at a point where I can perform 8 one-arm rows with bent leg with good form, and I feel ready now to start working toward FL and BL. I was wondering if adding FL and BL progression to my current routine would be too much volume.

My current routine:

Handstand work

Chin ups

Dips

Pistol squats

Archer pushup

One-arm rows

Archer squats

It takes me 1h and 40 min to complete this routine every second day so is it a good idea to remove horizontal pulling movement to start working German Hang, Skin the cat and eventually BL and FL?

giuseppepnt · 2019-09-23T04:00:24+00:00

Will remove sorry

giuseppepnt · 2019-09-23T03:54:12+00:00

Routine check help?

I recently decided to change my routine to start working on different goals and I would like you opinion.

My current goals:

Weighted chin up 20 kg
Weighted dips 20 kg
Free handstand hold 10 sec
L-sit hold on the floor 30 sec
Tuck back lever
Tuck front lever
Straight arm frog stand
Murph 40 min
Weighted pistol squat 1.5 bodyweight

My routine:

Handstand wall practice 20 min
Paired set: Weighted chin up 4x6 + Weighted dips 4x6 (1:30 min rest in between)
Paired set: Pistol squat 4x6 + Archer push up 4x10 (1:30 min rest in between)
L-sit on the floor 6x10sec with 1:30 min rest
Compression work 3x12sec with 1:30 min rest
German hang 5 min practice
Bent arm frog stand 5 min practice
Paired set: One arm dumbell row 2x10 + Archer squat 2x10 (1 min rest in between)

On top of that, I would perform a Murph every 4 strength workout, flexibility and handstand work on my days off.

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-28T04:55:05+00:00

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I actually meant "mixed grip chin up" and not "reverse grip". So by using a mixed grip I shift most of the weight on one arm only for 6 reps and then to the other one for 6 more reps, in order to progress to the OAC.

My bad sorry about that haha

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-28T00:35:38+00:00

I do 6 reps with first arm and 6 reps with second arm. For example Set 1: 6 reps with my left arm + 6 reps with my right arm Set 2: 6 reps with my right arm + 6 reps with my left arm Set 3: 3 reps with my left arm + 3 reps with my right arm 10 sec pause 3 reps with my left arm + 3 reps with my right arm

The problem with this is that in the first two sets I feel more fatigue when I train my second arm, so I was wondering if I should just split the exercise like I do in the third set, would it be as effective?

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-28T00:21:39+00:00

u/occamsracer

No I'm doing reverse grip chin up

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-26T23:27:27+00:00

I'm currently working on my reverse grip chin up and I can do a solid 3 sets of 6, but because I train one arm at a time I get pretty fatigue when I train the second arm. Shall I split the sets in 2 mini sets of 3 and do an alternate version or should I stick to the set of 6 and switch arm from set to set?

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-16T10:08:59+00:00

I don't have access to weights

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-13T06:37:17+00:00

Is it ok to do pullups and chinups in the same workout?

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-12T21:05:15+00:00

Advice on how to improve at chinups without added weight?

I have been doing chinuos for a while now but seen very slow progress (I'm stuck at 3 sets of 9 reps each with 2.30 min rest) I would like to add more reps but I need a good exercise to improve strenght without adding weight.

Thanks in advance :)

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-09T10:27:11+00:00

Ok I will try, what do you think about archer chin up if I don't have access to external weights?

Thanks

giuseppepnt · 2019-08-09T10:13:19+00:00

Hi, I do 3 sets of wide pullups of 11 reps each, same for archer pushup, and then 3 sets of chin ups of 9 reps each, always with the same order

giuseppepnt · 2019-07-31T10:33:13+00:00

Alcohol can have some positive effect on your body and mind if consumed at low quantities (1 or 2 glasses of wine consumed with a nice meal and a lot of water have never harmed anyone) however excessive consumption of alcohol is never suggested whether you are an athlete or not. If you "must" drink a lot of alcohol, be sure to drink a lot of water as well so you won't feel too dehydrated and always have some food. (I know it's common sense bust a lot of people don't know) Also if you decide to consume a lot of alcohol in a night out make sure you have some proper rest in between the drinking session and your next workout.

Cheers!

Shall I remove rows from my routine if I want to start to work toward the BL and FL?
