>Which routine to begin with?
What are your goals?

>Skills and Gymnastics: Do Foundation

>Strength: Do Foundation or Build your own routine with Overcoming Gravity

>Aesthetics
>Easy mode - Join a gym/google BarStarz/do wighted exercises

Stop eating like a hippo and cardio, cardio, cardio. Don't forget to start a routine.

>How difficult is it to actually snap my shit up/how dangerous it is while doing bw exercises?
The connective tissue that runs along your joints takes a lot more time to be strengthened than your muscles, and having great muscular strength is certainly not any indication of having strong joints and tendons; progress slowly and do mobility exercises.

tl,dr: Take it Slowly

>Can I do Foundation 1 and Handstand 1 simultaneously, or is it supposed to be one after I'm finished with the other?
Read the book

I'm stupid: Yes, they are built to be worked out in conjuction.
e.g.: mon Foundation, tue Handstand, wed Foundation, thu Handstand, fri Foundation, sat Handstand, sun Rest

>All gymnasts are manlets, am I to tall to do bodyweight?
You can still do bw but the taller you are (go and play basketball, bruh!) the harder it will be.

Stall Bars or Something to hold on to for Body Levers/Dragon Flags and stretching exercises
Horizontal Bar or Rings

At this point joining a gym or having necessary equipment should not be a issue (in that you should already have everything or joined a gym properly equipped)

Yes, just ask anons.

Why is the stretch called shoulder extension? It is completely retarded. What is demonstrated is full shoulder flexion. Pushing further back will not result in shoulder extension, but shoulder dislocation. Shoulder extension is moving the upper arm behind the back. Fuck phrakture.

You have also posted the old progression chart. I uploaded the one with side lever updated in the previous thread.

Yeah, just realized the images are quite shitty. That pike stretch....embarassing.

>>742902
That's because I've been doing this progression. What's wrong with it? IFIRC the progression was changed because of people not able to even do basic arch holds, right?

Nope, that's called shoulder hyperextension.

>>742904
>That's because I've been doing this progression. What's wrong with it? IFIRC the progression was changed because of people not able to even do basic arch holds, right?

There are other changes besides the arch hold, I cant use my computer right now so I cant post a more in deep explanation, but there are skills that have been erased from the progression chart and now the side plank progression makes more sense.

>>742907
I know they were other changes too, but I'm quite sure the main issue was with the arch hold (as it has been moved to PE14 or something), still feel free to post the updated chart if you want

>>742895
>>742906
Sorry I meant upper arm moving down the rear (towards behind the back). You are right.

Tuck planche push-up vs tuck hollow back press. Which is more difficult?

>>743147
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TfI5KqyrBI
Here's my tuck planche push-up attempt at 220 pounds, yes im doping weight.

>>743186
go back to pppu

>>743147
You cannot do tuck HBP because your knees will touch the floor

>>743329

parallets yo.

>>743333
The hardest will be HPB. No matter the tuck it is hard to maintain hollow while pressing to a tuck handstand.

>>743340
are you sure

because people who do hbp cant do ppu

>>743388
Chances are that they have poor form.

We are talking about full protraction throughout the press, solid ppt, straight arms, full control, and a full tuck handstand (straight arm, ppt, completely open shoulders).

We are talking about a lot of very important details that most people overlook. Pressing up with bent back and retracted shoulders is very easy, correcting these are very hard.

>>743388
>>743147
But both of those exercises are very bad for building strength. The tuck planche push ups have very limited range of motion and the tuck HBP does not create full body tension like it was designed to do. It also shifts the balance so that you have do not have to lean more in.

>>743401
Parallels for the tuck PP will give you full rom, and i can see how the HBP won't maintain full body tension, so then why do people use it?

Chin ups. Is it better to work your way up to being able to do 3 sets of 12 or to 3 sets of 8 and then increasing the reps to 12? My max is 10 on my first set but once I get to my second set I can only do about 6. If I only do 8 my first set I can do another 8 my second set and 4 my third. Which way should I go with?

>>743424
It will not give you full rom since the knees must be tucked tightly to the chest. If you do not lean in and tuck your knees to the chest you will indeed have a greater rom but remember that angle of the body in the tuck planche restricts elbow extension. In a full planche your back must be horizontal and therefore you can work on full rom.

People use that HBP version because they want a party trick to showoff and they want to believe that they are strong and are making progress. The people who use them regularly are generally quite ignorant in regards to intelligent body weight strength training

>>743465

So why does sommer have it in his program? Would it be wiser just to work planche push-up progressions if my end goal is a full planche push-up? What's your background btw?

How do i into bullet proof elbows?

>>743764
chin up hangs, pushups with proper form, bench dips

>>743516
Really? Because is a fundamental and a clear demonstration of multipane strength and balance. If you want to run you need to learn how to walk first, so focus on planche first instead of half repping tuck planche pushups.

>>743437
when you can do 3x8 you could easily transition to a different variation of chinup or weighted chinups

Hey /asp/. I've been doing a different bodyweight routine and I'm thinking of starting Foundation, but I'd like to keep the little bit of Olympic lifting I do three days a week if I can. What are your thoughts on doing foundation MWF, and doing handstands Tu/Th/S as you recommend, with some oly lifting on the handstand days? Or should I put them with the Foundation days?

>>743516
>So why does sommer have it in his program?

It is really a skill that can to some degree mimic the full planche push up in terms of activation patterns and body awareness. It was a part of BtGB but that book is way outdated and too old.

>Would it be wiser just to work planche push-up progressions if my end goal is a full planche push-up

You should be working on planche and bent arm pressing. F1 with the straddle planche progressions and the HBP progressions is the best way to get there.

>What's your background btw

A lot of different sports that got me tight but had a positive effect on my work capacity. Some WL but skipped that. Had a lot of reoccurring injuries which had set me back, now I have mononucleosis so I cannot really do strength training for at least one month. But I should be perfectly fine afterwards.

>>743764
The straight arm planche progressions along with high rep/hold time elbow flexion movements. Those are the best things you can do as a beginner

>>743400
what I also noticed is when they lower on the hbp they rest their body on their elbows

>>743865
That is surely cheating. They should be able to hold themselves completely horizontal with their arms bent so that that their feet, chest and nose only brushes the ground

>>743802
Perhaps it will be too much but you can experiment with it. The most important part is resting enough.

You can use the handstand work as a warm up for the OL.

I would probably run the schedule through the weekend since it will most likely crush you during work days.

>>743865
a proper HBP doesn't involve going into a double arm lever (resting on their elbows). A bent arm planche is therefore required

what pulling exercise should I pair with RTO dips

>>743810

Im sorry to hear that, well thanks for the information breh.

So if i can't do tuck planche push-ups properly, should i do psuedo planche push-ups further forward, or hollow backeD? Also any videos on how to hollow back a planche push-up?

>>743880
Yeah that's my current concern too. Also I'm not really sure what you mean by run it through the weekend, could you elaborate a little more? Thank you.

How would you go about modifying the Reddit routine, had you no other choice?

>>744061
horrible form

>>744059
Thank you I hope to get better soon. Now I have a lot of time for stretching my tight spots if I have to look on the bright side.

>>744124
Consider doing some workouts in the weekend too else you might burn out completely.

>Gymnasts and dancers have crazy mobility for life because they tend to go through deformational changes as children to help them get deeper stretches and more range of motion through alterations to their femoral head and neck, hip capsule, and almost every other joint where freaky mobility is necessary for their sport.
>Static stretching a muscle is the same. Sure, it changes length for a little while, but returns quickly. There's no way stretching will add sarcomeres in series – which would actually increase the length of the muscle – without long sustained holds of about 20-30 minutes, as shown by some studies.

Wait what fam (salsa: https://www.t-nation.com/training/stretching-doesnt-work)

Anyone got a DDL to Foundation 1-4, Handstand 1+2 and Overcoming Gravity (I've got restriction on torrents due to jews)?

>>744210
Or rather, can anyone upload Foundation 1-4 and Handstand 1+2 (Alongside Overcoming Gravity, but not really a necessity) to mega or zippy or smn?

My gf would like to start doing Bw exercise but i have no ide what would be a good routine for her , her goal i to make her ass firm and a bit stronger core (what i understood) any tips on what she should do?

Is there something like a Foundation/Handstand wiki of some sort? A summary of Foundation/Handstand that still is quite detailed?

>>744224
>>>/fit/ would be a better choice m8

>>744228
They are all useless when it comes to bw , and i hoped i could get something here that would help

>>744241
look up a bw guide and challenge her to do 3x10 of the beginner exercises for a week and then just keep progressing do it with her fun stuff

>>744203
Sorry, but I am not clicking on a link which says stretching do not work. It is plainly stupid and contradicts years of research and practical experience.

Please keep this shit out of this thread.

>>744241
>make her ass firm
>bit stronger core
Squat progressions and hanging leg raises? I mean, I train /fit/ for strength and /bw/ (Calisthenics, plyometrics, 'parkour/gymnastics skills') 'practical use' and sports.

If she wants to strengthen/firm X or Y the /fit/ way is much faster and 'specific' for this. However, she could take on a fitter lifestyle and incorporate /bw/ into her life and eventually she'll be looking quite buff bruv I'm telliya dat yea.

>>744296
Well T-nation's quite a good site, and this shit's linked on the /fit/ sticky. Just read through it (sub-5min) and tell me what the fuck man's on. Plz alex-san would you do that for me.

>Just read through it (sub-5min) and tell me what the fuck man's on. Plz alex-san would you do that for me

Only because you ask nicely. I fuck it was hard.

He is basically unable to make his clients improve in his flexibility, then gets philosophical about it and says "ah, it is because they are not children" instead of looking at his own methods of stretching. And then he concludes that it must be a universal principle without doing some research. And then he does some kind of mobility workout now with better results.

Without going further in depth I will assume that the stretching being done was passive (not building strength), he had too few exercises and/or too little time in the holds/too few reps. And/or he might have had bad exercises. And he might not have been consistent enough in his teaching of stretches.

The article is from 2012 so a lot of things might have happened. But I do know of a lot of older people getting very flexible from the stretch courses by GB.

>Also, what about greentext. Shit has any merits or is man just shitting out his ass

He is right that the bodies of children are more plastic. But children are also naturally very flexible which only fades over time. Flexibility does fade at the same rate no matter the level of each individual but flexibility is easier to maintain than to build. All this only indicates that it is harder to build flexibility once you are older and tight, but he overreaches and concludes that it is almost impossible to build flexibility as an untrained adult.

I cannot comment on the biology now because I do not know enough about it.

But I do know a lot of people who are living proofs that he is wrong.

>>744301
No sorry. Not any that I know of.

>>744328
thx a lot bb really appreciate it mayne C: **kisses u on the cheek** >o<


Also,
>He is right that the bodies of children are more plastic. But children are also naturally very flexible which only fades over time.
At what age would you define a child? At what age would an average male's flexibility/mobility start to really suffer? I ain't the oldest peep around here really and I'm just interested tbh.

>>744331
Do you have the books in a digital format? If so, can you please do me a favour and upload them somewhere?

The book is for fairly advanced students who know anatomy and biology. With some of it one really needs to re-read it.

Hanstand 3 is coming, I'm curious what's the actual progression of one arm handstand and the challenge at the end.

Are there any exercises that are good supplements for straddle compression? My MN/PE2 is kind of weak. I'd like to lift my legs higher. I know flexibility is part of it but it feels like gravity is fighting me more than tight muscles.

>>744369
I'm excited. I'm pretty far from being able to start it though.

Still waiting on Movement 1...

>>744369
>>744372

Not so much "horrible form" as "unsafe if not properly prepared"

Handstand diamond pushups are slightly easier then Hollowback style HSPU,
And about as difficult as Free HeSPU, but they use more medial deltoid than anterior deltoid which the "elbows in" "gymnastics style" HollowBack Press progression focuses on.

Ant. Delt. being what you use to lift your arms reaching in front of you, in comparison to medial delt. being used to lift your arms outstretched by your sides.

The downside of training Diamond handstand pushups being you don't look like a boss when you train.

Pic related,
Ido Portal, or; "How to look like a boss and be the ultimate badass"

>>743186
Do Handstand pushups variations and just train holding tuck planche.

Do the tuck planche training before your handstand pushup training each session,

You are better off doing other exercises with good form than skipping steps and doing what you want to with poor form.

Alternatively try reps of moving from L-sit position to tuck planche keeping straight arms,
Kind of like a dynamic bottom half tuck planche press.

Also, google stalder press, similar deal, fairly high level shoulder isolation, might be what you need to progress with tuck planche pushups.

>>743147
>tuck hollowback press
>tuck
>hollowback

Think about it, if you are tucked, your back will definitely not be hollow.

don't do it bro.

Hello. I'm here because I think you guys are the place to go to for this question, but why do I feel tremendous difficulty holding my position during a squat, even though I'm fine with other hip stretches?

>>744369
It is not very hard to program into one armed handstand. It is basically straddle handstand into assisted one arm handstand with finger support into one arm handstand leans into one arm handstand assisted on blocks into one arm handstand. The hard part is doing all this without a coach or experienced partner for assistance.

I would be curious to see the programming, have the included mobility this time too?

But most of us are years away from being able to even start that program.

>>744558
Where is it that you feel uncomfortable in the squat?

>>744558
Squat isn't a stretch, it's a basic leg strengthening exercise.

If you want to get awesome leg strength check out the "single leg squat" section of >>742882

>>744369
sause?

>>744521
>And about as difficult as Free HeSPU
Duude, pleas just. Stop. Free HeSPU is quite more difficult as you need to exert quite an amount of control over your handstand AND have strength in your stabilizing muscles.

Also in the gif you posted the girl was executing the skill without having her stomach towards the wall and hands far away from the wall, which would have corrected an arched back and put more weight where it should be (hands).

The image you choose is, as you correctly put, an hollowback, which is kinda different from a (wall) HeSPU.

This is bad.

Stalder press is a high level skill requiring an immense level of core compression and quad flexibilty and isn't necessarily related to tuck planche pushup (bent arm - straight arm vs straight arm straight arm)

>>744566
Mostly around knees, shins and quads.

>>744568

What would you suggest for a beginner, then? I've been doing SS for a couple weeks now, signing up to an Oly gym about a month from now, and plan to incorporate bodyweight/calisthenics (and plyometrics) into my training. I'd like to build 'bodyweight strength' and 'skill' for both sports and daily life.

Been thinking of pic related, but still didn't take a look at Foundation so no idea tbh. SS+Foundation/Handstand+Plyo routine/workout (Alongside mobility/prehab work and cardio. Sport-specific training as well), how does that sound? Too much? Too hard? What would you recommend?

>>744347
>Try these links:

>You want to know about exercise science or you want a training program? I am confused.
Both, really. I'd like a training program that also answers questions, and Foundation seems like the best and most 'complete' from what I've read here and in the sticky.

>Sorry I am not going to do that since I am active on the GB forums
Well that sucks donnit. Nonetheless, no worries, thanks anyway. If any can do then please do so.

>>744590
If you want to know about exercise science the first things you need to know of are human biology, anatomy, neuroscience and physiology. Then it is all about connecting the dots.

Look in the paste bins. I believe there is a exercise chart picture of the foundation exercises. And we have also explained countless of times how the mastery templates work.

With a little research I believe it should be possible for you to start up. I cannot help you any further sorry.

how does one know if they are on the verge of a tendon/ligament, or any structural tissue tear?

>>742880
Hey. First timer here.
I've never worked out in my life.
Here's my situation. Poor enough to not be able to afford gym where I live, but enough money to pay for schooling and nutrition when needed. I have these things at home: 2x 8lb free weight, 2x 20lb free weight, a wooden bench, a strong as fuck tree, and an endless expanse of woodland.
I basically want to take control of my life again. The normie lifestyle is wrecking my posture, strength, and masculinity.
I'm 140 pounds, 5'10, and severely lacking in physical achievements.

What do you anons recommend I start with? I feel terribly overwhelmed by all the information about getting the right "big". Obviously I'm very ignorant of this kind of lifestyle, but regardless I want to shift into it anyway.

What kind of routines can I do with the limited equipment I have right now?

>>745054
Never exercise through pain and dont attempt stupid shit for which you havent made a slow progressive overload. Rule is that if you start experiencing discomfort and/or pain during an exercise, stop immediatly. Joint and tendon pain is very different than muscle pain. If you feel sharp or dull pain in the joint, you are damaging it.

Most tendon tears and tendinitis occur because of lack of proper conditioning, shitty genetics or faulty movement patterns.

Do I must touch my toes on a v up? I have long legs/small torso. I have no problem doing hanging leg raises or a l sit but I just cant touch my toes. Straddle ups was also shit.

F1-4 and H1-2 are in OP, make sure you have adobe reader installed to view the demonstrative videos of each progression.

Alongside the chart (>>742882)
And basic youtube if you don't feel you understand the embedded video for an exercise.

That should be all you need to get started provided you have the basic facilities.

My problem was that torrenting is blocked in my Uni. Resolved it by >>744688

Just one question that popped into my mine: How should I go exactly about incorporating Foundation/Handstand with a strength program (And sport training)? I was thinking do them both on same day, with prehab/mobility work everyday and sport training after them (Alternate between SS/Foundation and sport training, everyday but Friday). How does that sound (Put largest amount of time possible between strength and Foundation)?

You pussies get bullied out of /fit/ or somethin?
This is fitness not sports, plz explain.

>>745431
To touch your toes you have to pike up, which is requires more abdominal strength then just going up and touching your shins.

You don't have to touch your toes, but you will be missing out on a part of the strength benefits the exercise offers if you don't pike up and touch your toes.

>>745825
It depends on what you want to prioritize. If sport training is important to you, I'd do it first and leave foundation for later. Honestly, you could work the FL, SL, and MN elements into your training because they're fairly athletic movements and the integrated mobility of those exercises will probably improve your performance in your sport.

If you have good pressing strength, the Handstand series is mostly going to be about developing strong, flexible wrist and shoulders and working on the handstand as a skill.

I don't have much problem with sport training tbh. I do them on their own days, alongside some other shit (+ prehab/mobility work, as I said before), so they're set on their own day.

My problem is balancing between lifting and Foundation/Handstand. I'm scared I won't be getting enough rest because I plan to do them on the same day, and thus slower/shitter progression. I honestly don't know how I should go about this. Nonetheless, I guess I'll just have to try and see. If you have any suggestions, please do drop them. Anyway, thanks fam.

Coach Sommer advised against SL+F1/H1 on the forms somewhere. The reasoning was they are each designed as well rounded beginner programs and as such they'll interfere with each other specifically with recovery.

>>745849
Well that sucks, but I do feel like I will be missing way too much if I'm not doing SS. My goal is to improve in my particular sport and become better at bodyweight shit (As well as to maintain muscle as I'm 'cutting').

>>745850
You're going to have to choose one. If you want to do SL, I would suggest you do H1 and do the stretch series for prehab/mobility.

>>745851
I'll see. I'll try to balance it somehow. Hopefully all goes well mayne.

>>744707
Pronated wrists. Too much stress on the biceps tendon in the supinated hold for adults.

>>745054
Pain, discomfort, dislocates, clicking out of socket etc. Basically, whatever you do should be smooth but do not mistake muscle fatigue for joint problems or muscular imbalance problems.

>>745772

Describe the soreness.

Strength training and in that connection display of strength are many things and could arguably be a sport (like calisthenics competitions, gymnastic competitions, parkour competitions etc.) Although I agree that strength training for the sake of getting stronger is not a sport.

/fit/ has become a hive mind of betas, fat hate, steroid threads, trolls and broscience. I consider this thread to be better off here than on /fit/.

>>745850
SS is strength training for the sake of numbers, it is not that good of a design to improve your general athleticism.

I'm struggling to get my 3rd set of chinups. I can do two sets but I usually crap out on the 4th or 5th rep of the third set. Any advice on what to do? I tried adding two sets of negatives but I'm still stuck. I've also been trying grease the groove but all its done is improve my form, not added more reps.

What are the benefits of pairing two exercises like the Reddit routine recommends as opposed to knocking out all your sets back to back?

>>745875
Experiment with exercise frequency, resting time, eat clean and get enough sleep.

Perhaps it is only a matter of time

>>745881
Time efficiency and increased work capacity. Mostly the first.

How should the posture be for the tripod for HS1?

>>742880
When it says mastery for the Seated Russian Twist to do 30r. What counts as one rep? Is going left to right 1 rep? Or is going left to right back to left 1 rep?

Fuck, why wouldn't he specify.

Form check on my PPP?

i believe it's 15 each side.

>>745863

it just slightly hurts when i flex my bicep, i believe it's on the anterior bundle, but it's getting better. It's an overuse issue for sure, i got excited about all this new equipment at this gym and i wanted to use it all. Should probably take the week off.

>>746208
To add to this ive been flossing my elbows, iceing them, taking glucosamine and other joint supplements, just to be on the safe side.

>>746116
It should be a triangle of support shared evenly among the hands and head.

>>746160
>>746205
15r each side

>>746208
>>746209
You might need to take more rest. But definitively start over again since just trying out new equipment should not have caused the problem but rather have triggered the overuse issue.

>>746204
lost PPT as soon as you lowered
didnt maintain lean during the press well enough
feet moved as soon as you pressed up

I was playing around with hand stand and pullup variation for about an hour extra after my workout.

>>746205
>>746214
Well shit brehs, I'm at like 36 reps.

awww but it's only an inch anon.

I get that, the issue is I want proper positioning of my shoulders and hips, but from the angles on the pictures and videos I can't tell what that looks like. Are the shoulders protracted and hips tucked?
What part of the head are you on? What sort of position should your neck be in? ... etc.

Why?
Bent arm planche isn't that hard to achieve. Aditionally, the guy never straighten his arms and arches his spine like crazy.

Pointless but clearly more impressive than the other video.

try to set your goals higher bro these where fairly easy skills.

>>746675

Is that you? Well when you're 200 pounds plus because of legs, i got to be happy with at least getting a planche.

>>746687
I'm around 183cm/78kg(6'00ft/182 lbs in americunt measurment :^) )

Yes that's me. End of calisthenic meething with some friends; also it wasn't as low as I wanted it.

You can definetly get Bent Arm Planche if you're stronk...Straight Arm...well it will get you quite more time. Why bodyweight, though? Genuine question.

So I managed to get a rope to train for the OAC

I went from doing archer pullups to this. And ive got to say that rope climbe really hurt my finger joints. Is this normal?

>>746495
Shoulders slightly protracted yes. No ppt yet as this is a balance exercise primarily. Neck should always be neutral. Elbows should be right above your wrists.

>>746675
Nice, but fix your neck and protract more.

>>746687
I am a fairly big guy too. 188 cm and 80 kg although sickness probably got me down to 77-78 kg.

joints? I get huge splints in my hands after doing full rope climbs. How long is the rope?

>>746704
I know, I know. I've beeing suffering of neck problems for a couple of weeks...fucking bed...

>>746727
about 1.8m

Its actually around 6m but since its thin I fold it 3 times

>>746727
>>746675
Shouldn't your tripfag name be 'taurennigga'?

>>746773
Great.

>>746727
Your neck problems might also be due to bad positioning in the exercises. My tight neck is partially due to bad form and uneven pull ups. Do a lot of stretching, particularly the trapezoid muscles and the sternocleidomastoideus muscles.

Depending of how troublesome your neck is you should put off the upper body work for now.

>>746773
kek, sold.

>>746784
No I'm quite sure they're related to bed and work (white collar job). I do gymnastics twice a week and the coach make us stretch there.

>>746795
Gymnasts are known for having strong, but tight necks. The stretches that I do are more rehab-like, and I have to do exactly those because no exercises in the stretch courses target these muscles.

It might be worked related as well but bad form will worsen your condition.

>>746704
>>746727

I just enjoy the practice of gymnastics strength training. Even if my legs are a limiting factor, i want a planche push-ups, a full on front lever row, as well as an inverted muscle-up.

>>746826
I feel the same way.

Also, my body (except my neck) has not been feeling this great for a very long time when I do my mobility and strength training.

>>746784
I've started getting some soreness on the right side of my neck too, and I think it's probably uneven pull-ups too. Any ideas as to fixes? Something I could do to balance the strength or something.

>>747087
Neck stretches, self massage and rest.

Also, forget about pull ups for now. Do rows and chin ups instead

Also, new trip

>>747129
Okay, thanks. Should I drop back the difficulty of the rows too? decrease the volume or increase the incline or something?

>>747366
Rows focus on lower traps opposed to pull ups which are upper trap dominant so if you only do ground row variations you are fine. Hinge rows (RC PE 1) is quite therapeutic for me but unfortunately I have no rings right now.

>>745875
well improving your form usually means making it harder, so you have not been progressing in endurance but maybe you have been in strength

>>747485
At the moment I'm doing 3x8 ring rows with supinated grip, and feet elevated a little. not following foundation due to time constraints, but I'll start once exams are over or something.

>>747527
If you have rings or straps available I recommend you start doing hinge rows as soon as possible. They are very different from normal rows because they really target rotator cuffs and forearm muscles.

>>747570
Alright I'll do that. Should I add them to my existing routine after the usual rows, or just do these instead?

How am I supposed to do arch body rocks without smashing my balls?
