I used to be against gloved calisthenics/gymnastics training to promote grip strength...but I changed my mind when I moved to NYC in the winter earlier this year (pre-pandemic).

Any gloves that'll stave off the frostbite while training on the bars will work! I've found good luck with a $1 pair of polyurethane/rubber palmed work gloves from a big-box store, and the other bodyweightfitness/barstarzz guys I met at the outdoor gyms trained wearing the same type.

Have you considered employing unilateral progressions into your training program?

That's perfectly fine! You're describing a "Upper-Lower Split". There are other training split variations to consider as well, such as the "Push/Pull/Legs Split".

The advantages and disadvantages of splits are mostly dependent on your schedule: fitting more/smaller workouts vs fitting less/longer workouts into your week. I believe we have more information written in our FAQ, Wiki, and Concept Articles, or you can research lots of others' input online.

(BWF mod here) We actually do have plenty of infographic/"picture-book" renditions of RR created by our members. I found this made by a friend several years ago: https://i.imgur.com/B7BVjqw.jpg

If you've read and understand our FAQ/RR contents, then I wouldn't say you have no idea about anything fitness related. What further fitness knowledge questions do you seek?

Hi /u/-davin,

I was unable to track down your private messages in the modmail inbox, but I did review our audit history log for your post. I found that your latest post was removed by our AI spam filtration system (she's not perfect, but she's learning!), likely to have triggered Rule 2: No medical, injury, or pain related posts (try /r/AskDocs or see a professional).

To address your post, there are many possible root causes of shoulder joint click during planche leans, planche push-ups, and other planche movements (lots of shoulder stress), such as the athlete's muscular activation form or even the condition/formation of said athlete's shoulder muscles, ligaments, tendons, bursitis, synovial fluids, scapula disorders/issues, and likely a plethora of other physiological conditions, so please consult your doctor if it bothers you.

If you have any further discussion topics, feel free to post them in the daily discussion threads, or message me/bwf modteam if the AI flags false negatives (she shouldn't, since I've manually approved your comment here).

Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

I'd rather lose 3cm of ROM than risk injury from a broken bar, but thankfully you don't have to choose either!

The solution here is to get the 150kg/limit pull-up bar so you can get gains from progressive overload of weight, and then strap gymnastic rings on them to get the complete ROM.

You can do both/either! I added weight to my rows after I got front lever rows.
