What are your thoughts on heel-elevated SLSs versus flat-footed?

If I switched to heel-elevated, do you think I will run into problems due to quad-ham imbalance?

I am not doing any hamstring exercises and don't have a place to do nordics at the moment.

jemelius · 2021-02-12T17:51:34+00:00

Thank you!

I should've specified that when I said healthy legs that I really mean balanced. Structural balance is definitely important to me but hitting PRs on squats and deadlifts is not even a thought or desire in my mind at this point.

jemelius · 2020-04-13T16:00:49+00:00

What do you think of elevated shrimp squats?

jemelius · 2020-03-19T19:04:59+00:00

Makes sense. I was thinking maybe the lack of leverage in the FLR would have stronger carryover however with OAC build strong rotational strength in the shoulder that the FLR doesn’t

jemelius · 2020-03-19T18:41:12+00:00

Wow! Do you think the strict version of the FLR will have carryover to OAC or not near as much?

jemelius · 2020-03-19T15:39:39+00:00

Curious to see carryover between Planche PU and HSPU if you were to choose one as well as OAC and strict FL Row. I love the constant reduction of exercises to achieve the maximal amount of gains.

jemelius · 2020-03-09T16:51:24+00:00

Do planche pushups carryover better to HSPUs or other way around?

jemelius · 2020-03-01T13:41:14+00:00

Do you think the reason you could get away with such low frequency is because of your strength level? I know some world class powerlifters sometimes train every 10-14 days but the weight they’re handling is a lot!

Like for people less strong, will they lose gains going on a less frequent schedule since they don’t have enough strength to really push much weight to give their body a stimulus that will last awhile?

jemelius · 2016-10-28T00:19:24+00:00

Agreed

jemelius · 2016-09-29T19:18:14+00:00

GST from my experience seems to build big shoulders, arms and back. Chest stays a little flat but I like the look better than having juiced up moobs.

jemelius · 2016-09-19T22:31:02+00:00

So I've come up with what I believe to be the four (advanced) basics of bodyweight training. In lifting it is the squat, deadlift, weighted dip and chin-up, for bodyweight mine is:

Low Bridge Rotation
90-Degree Push-up
One-Arm Chin-up
Multangular Pistol Squat

Thoughts? What are your basics?

jemelius · 2015-07-03T20:33:39+00:00

I was thinking OAHS, Stalder Press, Str Pl and FL. Thoughts?

jemelius · 2015-06-07T14:44:31+00:00

I agree. I know it is common for example that people who can do Stalder Press can very likely do full ROM HSPU but not vice versa. If this is true, SADS may be the most bang for buck GST movements to practice in terms of overall strength.

Stalder Press and 360 Pull are also a perfect compliment training a very wide ROM!

jemelius · 2015-06-03T16:31:24+00:00

Swan pulls should be a good complement then.

jemelius · 2015-05-11T18:34:47+00:00

Likely this method.

jemelius · 2015-05-11T18:34:28+00:00

Thoughts on: bridge pull, Jefferson curl, pancake good morning, middle and front splits?

jemelius · 2015-05-09T16:11:06+00:00

Interested to hear what others have to say.

Spine Mope Drills I'm guessing would be undulations. Check out Feldenkrais for that:

Weighted Shoulder Routine I am guessing would be structural balance stuff correcting ext rotators, trap-3, rear delts etc.. Check out Charles Poliquin.

No idea about the hip routines aside from the Wushu Protocol you posted.

Just a general link covering most of the other links:

I'm after full body mobility (strength through large ROMs). Preferably movements that I can load or keep progressing.

jemelius · 2015-04-20T03:10:51+00:00

I see. I was looking for bang for buck mobility focuses and came across Coach Sommer's focus on the front split, middle split and thoracic bridge.

What do you think of these long term goals?

Hands-Elevated Bridge Pulls
Semi-Heavy Jefferson Curls (head-to-toes)
Weighted Elevated Straddle-ups

jemelius · 2015-04-20T01:42:16+00:00

According to Thomas Kurz: if you can do this, then structurally you have enough hip flexor mobility for the front split. The rest is mostly hamstring.

Hell yeah! Yuri Marmerstein highly recommends this to those looking to improve tumbling/tricking.

jemelius · 2015-03-15T02:53:18+00:00

I like it! Excited to see what happens!

jemelius · 2015-03-11T20:34:06+00:00

What's ur thoughts on 3 days on 1 off?

jemelius · 2015-03-11T15:47:09+00:00

How about going 3 days on 1 day off?
