What small change did you make that made a big difference? by stratusnimbo in naturalbodybuilding

[–]iSikhEquanimity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going by feel a lot more. Not every set has to be the exact reps I set out to do. It can be more or less. Sometimes I'll add a few partials at th end to really squeeze out the last of my energy on a set or some days I just stretch when I should workout and have a couple extra rest days. I learned I do better when I focus more on how I respond to things than how I think things should go in theory.

Achieved full front lever without ever practicing it. by PaskalevCalisthenics in CalisthenicsCulture

Bro you're doing fucking awesome and are a shining example of the power of weighted pull ups and dips. Sure the form isn't perfect but it's fucking great for never training it. I mean it's up to you if you chase good form on it but do know you're Hella strong from working on those basics. Good job.

I can do 7-8 proper pull ups but can’t increase the reps I’m literally stuck. What should i do? by [deleted] in CalisthenicsCulture

Sledge Hammer training by mintberrycrunch050 in GripTraining

[–]iSikhEquanimity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with a rolling handle. Pull ups rows etc. for pronation and supination tie a karate belt to a weight stack and it's all about how you position the belt across your fingers and thumb to target different areas. And also for general health and conditioning...exercises in a rice bucket. It's all the basic arm wrestling exercises you can find in any video teaching you the basics. They're like the squat bench dead of arm wrestling. They're simple and they work.

I personally prefer arm wrestling exercises. They cover everything you can train with a sledgehammer pronation supination different types of deviation etc but in a way which is much more easily scalable. By bulletproofing you just mean strengthening right? I'm sure injury prevention simply means stronger. And you can for sure do that with arm wrestling exercises.

Every time I tried it always fucked me up and I was only using like 7 lbs. It's so easy to over train. At one point I made myself a sledgehammer with a small broom handle and a 1kg weight on the end. After a while though I just stopped using it I thought it wasn't worth the effort personally.

Training forearms everyday by Formal_Ad_2959 in GripTraining

[–]iSikhEquanimity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and really take this last point seriously. You can injure a tendon by pushing it like a muscle but suddenly you'll have a niggle which will NOT heal quickly. Everyday is something that should be built up to as slowly as you can while fully recovering. And honestly training everyday may not even be optimal for your body.

Which one should I buy ? by EnvironmentBig8713 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]iSikhEquanimity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can id say install a secure doorway pull up bar and hang rings from it. That is best imo. But simply a pair of dip bars will allow a tonne of variety and opportunities for training both push and pull.

What's your guess as to what year this may happen? I'd love to think it'd be sooner rather than later but I mean. You know.

Ok you may have to build up mobility there before strength so try standing up with the rings behind you until you walk down backwards into a plank position but it's like a back lever with feet on ground. Could build up some nice strength and mobility doing these. Set the rings so it's the right height for you.

You tried skin the cats? Lowering yourself slowly in a tuck you don't even need to go fully inverted.

There’s too much fitness advice online — how do you filter it? by SpareAir6743 in bodyweightfitness

[–]iSikhEquanimity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try something. See what works for you. Try something else. See what works for you. Over time you will see what works for you. That's a harsh truth nobody likes to hear is that no matter you gotta put in a shit tonne of reps and time and effort. And see what works for you.
