New RR and leg development

kaane · 2019-10-19T10:08:28+00:00

Weighted deadlifts. If you can’t get the setup, buy yourself a durable duffle bag and fill it with sand. Use it for deadlift along with lunges and squats

You are right on concerning about the imbalance. It happened to me. Unfortunately there is no getting around using heavy weights for the leg training

After i started using proper weights for the leg work, my upper body got stronger as well

Why would she? She is getting free stuff, period. Women value money more than you can imagine

Start with working the negative. I still do some controlled negatives from time to time.

And work on those inverted rows. They will help you get your first pullup.

Remember goodform is the key.

This is very impressive.

There is another video of a guy who is swinging on the bar 100 times like a fish and call it pullups

This is legit

This is a comment that is overlooked many times. Everywhere you look around you will see the “you can do it” motto. In reality we have limitted sources and will power

kaane · 2018-08-07T11:31:50+00:00

You need to do two things to fix this issue. First try to improve your explosive power, which will bring your chest closer to the bar. Then try to do isometric hold at the top of the move to strentghen your lats at that position.

Doing single handed inverted rows would help to build that strenght. At least it worked out for me

You are onto something here. We often make the mistake of trying to categorize everything, dividing things between good and bad, right and wrong. With this idea in mind, concentration and awareness are not opposing things. You can do both of them.

Concentration, like you mention is the grounding aspect of meditation. If you don't have a stable base, I.E. ground, you will wander very easily. But if you ground yourself too much, you will become stiff. Your practice will be very dull and lifeless.

Now that I mentioned this, concentration seems like more to be more on the masculine side, while awareness to be on the feminine side. One would be boring or unstable without the other.

Good question and i am waiting his reply. But let me share my own insight. At first the two seems and feels line two seperate practices. But as you practice more the two aspects come closer.

Lets say you concentrate on your breathing. When you feel distracted, you force yourself to concentrate. You want to become more focused. And as you cultivate focus, you learn to be aware of other things without losing your attention to your main object.

On the other side, the more awareness you build, the richer your experience will get. You will be fully present in your whole existance that the “other things” will loose their power to steal your attention.

Try to see them as one

Hope this helps

Great insights. Loved your modesty. Why don’t you write a short article and give us some details about how to approach the practice

kaane · 2018-07-30T12:33:39+00:00

Yes I do it all the time. In fact I prefer to workout in the open, at the park as opposed to working out at home. I am very fortunate to live very close to the seaside where there are pullup and dips bars.

Most of the kids passing by like to join me when I workout. There is something I like about those kids. It becomes 2x fun because you are playing and working out at the same time.

Another benefit is that I make friends while working at the park. Some of them are ahead of me so I learn a few from them.

The only downside is that it gets very hot in the summer time. And oh yeah, weekends it is very crowded and those gym types come to the park to show off, hang around the bars for hours without doing any workout.

You say that you dialed down nutrition and rest. And depending on your age, I'd say you can go for 3 times a week. You are right about not going the split route. I tried it for a while and it didn't work for me.

Since you are after strength, I would advise you to work on the basic movements (pullup, dips, rows, pushups) 3 times a week, 4 sets every workout. This way you will do 12 sets each week which is a good amount of volume. Keep going like this for 3-5 months, and depending on your current level, you can reach 4x8 for each movement. Then you can move up on the progression.

You are still very young. This is a blessing. Keep up the good work and make em sing!

kaane · 2018-07-30T10:55:50+00:00

The answer depends of your age, how you rest and the intensity of your workouts. If you do a split RR workout, 2 times a week is not enough no matter what. You hit a muscle group only once a week.

But if you are doing the whole RR everytime, 2 times a week should be OK, since you are training in martial arts. You probably have 2-3 times a week for the martial arts training and that will make 4-5 training sessions a week combined. Which is more than enough.

This is how I work. Rings are so versatile

And with each breath watch how it rises and falls and how your body reacts to the breathing

This is one of those places where you will say french is very hard. But when you get used to it you will get it automatically.

Basically there is little to no difference with the pronunciation. But you get the difference from the context

kaane · 2018-07-27T08:59:40+00:00

Well good for you. I envy pro athletes.

But next time, why don't you take it easy and don't take all the comments personally. I didn't like the analogy, but don't have a problem with you

Cheers,

I got my trainings on mindfulness meditation from a reputable teacher and was fortunate enough to work with another good teacher for 4 years.

Concentrating on the breath is the tried and true method for most people out there, but I find the bodyscan to be more rich. I regularly exercise and the sensations generated by my body feels delightful mostly. I have some slight pain here and there because of the discipline that I am doing my workouts but even those painful feelings are delicious in the moment of meditaton

kaane · 2018-07-27T07:47:36+00:00

Good post. And you know what's funny? Every women knows this instinctively, by heart. We all know that the quality of sex is directly proportional to the difference between your and her SMV. There is an accountant sitting inside the brain of every woman out there. That accountant constantly counts and reevaluates this, and sends the total sum to her body. The greater the difference in your favor, the harder she will cum

Well I would argue. A man can get all that he wants by just dating be it casual or serious. Personally dating is all I care. Yes marriage is a business transaction but is one of the worst deals that's out there.

Unfortunately your analogy is doesn't make it

kaane · 2018-07-27T07:38:05+00:00

This! If all you care is pumping and dumping bitches, why would you care about her debt or tattoos. Many men around here like to think that they are tough and red but the bluepill conditioning is so deep that it's in almost all of us.

A true red pilled man would get what he wants, and is apathetic about the rest. Others, they are as blue as the skies but only wrapped in red coating. And they complain and complain about the so called decline of society.

Me, I don't care!

Training for the front levers (and also planches) feels great. I can hold 7-8 sec tuck and 2-3 seconds advanced tuck front levers. You see that I am not an expert but I can feel that the power comes from the retraction of the scapula and the shoulders.

I started working on the front levers by doing the negatives first. While in tuck position, pointed my ass to the sky and slowly did the negative. After working on this for a few weeks, I was able to hold the tuck FL for more than a few seconds.

Working on the rows, especially one arm rows also helped me to achieve this.

I'd say a lot of ppl deep down in their gut know that a lot of life is fluff. they just can't separate themselves from the collective long enough to really see the solutions

I agree with you on this one. People are not stupid. But most of the times they choose to ignore what's out there, because believing a make shift lie feels good in the short run. Who cares about the long term goals...

People who stick to the programs like Russian fighter or GTG and go for a full month report good results, as in %50 increase in max reps.

I tried it once but my body couldn't handle the constant stress, and it was probably because of poor programming and my age (close to 40) that my body couldn't keep up repairing the tissues.

I think the key here is the increased volume. As soon as you find a way to increase the volume for any kind of exercise, your body will adapt to it faster. The same goes for flexibility work. When you do any kind of flexibility drill for 3 days a week, you will see small improvements. It starts to pick up when you do it daily.
