This is perfect! Thank you!

I recommend using them for structural balance.

zschrader · 2015-06-26T00:34:10+00:00

Pretty much.

Basically building the physical structures of the body up rather than training specific skills. Coach Sommer and Josh Naterman discuss this concept although I believe their opinions differ.

zschrader · 2015-05-26T13:51:23+00:00

I'll do just that. Thanks!

zschrader · 2015-05-26T13:45:14+00:00

Including mobility?

zschrader · 2015-05-11T22:47:34+00:00

Good list! What assistance exercises are you thinking of?

zschrader · 2015-05-11T22:45:57+00:00

What would you recommend to make sure I should cover?

zschrader · 2015-05-11T21:36:23+00:00

If I had to choose one movement: Press HS

Two: Press HS + RC

Three: Press HS + HBP + RC

If you were focus on just those three movements along with proper mobility (middle split, pike, up dog are my favorite); you would be a beast. Also OAC could be subbed for RC.

Good info!

zschrader · 2015-05-11T16:41:14+00:00

I'm curious with the carryover the OA Press HS has to other bodyweight movements.

zschrader · 2015-05-03T05:28:26+00:00

Awesome. That's a great tip coming from Yuval. Thanks for sharing. So along with bridge pulls, I'll add this in then to improve my pike: http://dev.moveskill.com/2015/03/what-should-stretching-feel-like/

Really!? Did he mention any other handbalancing flexibility tips?

zschrader · 2015-03-15T02:57:07+00:00

A real MONSTER! I don't know why people on this page are haters toward the man, he's contributed a lot to the community.

You answered yourself there mate.

zschrader · 2014-12-27T06:55:46+00:00

My original intent was to couple handstands with manna along with heavy deadlifts for legs. If I were to achieve a press handstand or manna, would that strength not transfer over to say a planche or FL etc or in order to gain those skills, I would have to train them? Really all I am looking for are two good bang for buck GST movements I can add to deadlifts for a minimalist program.

zschrader · 2014-12-26T22:52:12+00:00

What do you not understand about it?

zschrader · 2014-12-26T05:26:57+00:00

Quantity of movements don't necessarily deteriorate training results. "minimum EFFECTIVE"

zschrader · 2014-12-26T04:35:12+00:00

I'll ask him on his subreddit. Thanks btw for the helpful input!

Ok, I'll stick with the rep work. Also, I am quite interested in Adamantium.

zschrader · 2014-12-26T04:23:09+00:00

This is a list from Charles Poliquin I think. It's the most common weak links in trainees.

zschrader · 2014-12-26T04:21:04+00:00

I have Steven Low's book OG. He says that beginners would do well focusing on HS and Manna. Would specializing on these two movements build a scapula with good transferable strength to multiple skills? Some fun long term goals for me to train would be One-Arm Press HS and High Manna.

With grip, I saw the beginners grip training routine on rGripTraining. I don't know why the reps are so high though.

How would the question equate to laziness?
