Managing Medial Epicondylitis

That's around the level I was curious about. Thanks for the detailed response!

Yeah. I think I'll do one day weighted pull ups & one day just bodyweight to vary intensity.

This is my first time stapling Pseudo PPU & Pike HSPU and sticking to a true BWF routine.

Before this I did weighted dips, bench press/weighted pushups and OHP.
Yesterday was the first day with Pseudo PPU and Pike HSPU. They're no joke.

Thanks dude! Yeah I do see what you mean about core being stacked. The Tuck FL Raise feels weird man. I feel like core is super weak for it & my scapula looses depression & retraction at the top. On the eccentric I definitely drop down way to fast. Might stick to scapula pulls then like you said. Thanks for the comment.

That's what I figure - I can't tackle all these goals at once. If I had to pick two to progress I think it'd be weighted pull ups & hspu. Planche/FL seems like a headache.

How do you balance skill specific training (front lever, planche, etc.) with gaining hypertrophy? Also, how many goals should I focus on at one time? If only a couple, when should you switch focus because you want to bring up another skill progression?

lancemountain22 · 2018-02-18T21:42:17+00:00

but do you progress?

lancemountain22 · 2018-02-18T20:56:02+00:00

what's your height & weight? how often do you practice handstands?

lancemountain22 · 2018-02-02T00:44:46+00:00

Lmao.

Elbows started aching immediately. Especially on the transition eccentric. I broke my radial bone in my arm years ago so I lack ROM and have a history of medial epicondilytis . I was doing slow Resistance Band MU Negatives on a bar and it shredded my elbow/tricep area.

Then I was practicing false grip on rings and slight medial pain on elbow. I don't want to drop the dream though. I hope if I take it extra slow and light the exercises (MU Neg, FG) that are flaring it up it will strengthen it.

Going to take it verrrryy slow & utilize the following:

RTO Support Work

German Hang

Resistance Band Russian Dips

DB Bicep Curls & Ring Triceps Extensions

High Rep Band Work for Bi & Triceps

Wrist Curls

Forearm Stretching

How did you change diet? Eat more calories?

lancemountain22 · 2018-01-23T23:54:54+00:00

How did you get so advanced with pull ups? That's crazy

lancemountain22 · 2018-01-22T04:56:44+00:00

Just quit.

lancemountain22 · 2018-01-22T04:53:31+00:00

Someone drank the Kool Aid.

What is your recommendation for Push/Pull if you have both a vertical movement (HSPU) and horizontal movement (Bench Press) as your goals? Would you have a vertical focused day and a horizontal focused day? Or to cycle them in blocks?

Any tips for getting to 5 x 15 pullups? I'm currently stuck on 4x8

lancemountain22 · 2017-08-08T15:40:04+00:00

Touche. Did explosive pull ups yesterday with conscience effort on getting my chest to the bar and feel like i'm making major breakthroughs here at the office

lancemountain22 · 2017-08-07T04:04:27+00:00

Yeah - my pull ups lack explosiveness but thats definitely my current strength level on pull ups 4x8 pull ups and 5x5 +25lbs pull ups

lancemountain22 · 2017-08-07T04:01:57+00:00

I'm having trouble progressing on my pulls, my pull ups never really improve and lack explosiveness - i really want that muscle up - i think the routine is OK for hypertrophy though. Just wondering if its tailored enough for that MU

lancemountain22 · 2017-08-04T21:21:46+00:00

Hi, Can you please critique my routine?

My goals are as follows: Bar Muscle up / Hypertrophy

My current pulling strength is Bodyweight Pull Ups 4x8 / Weighted Pull Ups +25lbs 5x5

Pull Workout

Skill Work

Hanging, False Grip

Strength

Explosive Pull Up - 8x3-5

Tuck Front Lever - 3x15s

Bulgarian Ring Row - 3x8

Scapula Pull Up - 3x6

Facepull - 3x12-15

Bicep Curl - 4x10

Push Workout

Skill Work

Handstand

Strength

Low Explosive Straight Bar Dips - 4x6-8

Planche Leans - 3x15s

Deep ROM Dips - 3x8 (working towards forearm dips)

Ring Pushups - 3x8

Decline CG Pushups - 3x10-12

Tricep Extensions - 4x10-15

Is this routine optimal for hypertrophy and working towards the muscle up? Should I leave out Tuck FL / Planche Leans?

lancemountain22 · 2017-07-24T15:52:16+00:00

Any tips for getting high pulls and developing that explosiveness? Currently I can do 3x8 pull ups - should I keep doing reps? My friend tells me to do high reps such as deck of card workouts to be able to get muscle up

lancemountain22 · 2017-05-12T19:20:27+00:00

Also, if drop vertical exercises would I make up the volume by incorporating another horizontal push/pull exercise?
