He's not using any muscles in his fingers, just stressing the tendons and ligaments
All the strength is in his arms and core
By doing this on his fingers, rather than just his hands, he's putting his fingers at serious risk for no reason other than vanity.
Not gonna make it.

Been lifting for about 10 months and have made zero progression aside from noob gains; should I hop on the BWG wave?

>>41334474

So you made progress?

I am slacking in the Manna IM department. What cam I do to compensate/ substitute it? It's mostly stretches that look like pic related. I don't have this kind of ladder and the closest substitutes are uncomfortable to grip or unstable.

>>41335431
just lay down and try to touch your toes, then go head to knees then chest to knees. But be careful not to round your back too much, I've pulled a muscle in my back while doing this.

>>41335441
Sounds close enough. I'll give it a try next time.

When are you really ready to start planche training?
I was doing it as a beginner a lot but thought that i should learn the handstand first. Now that ive learned the handstand and have a good back lever should I go for full planche? It just seems so unappealing because I know its gonna take such a long time especially since my calves are kinda big.

I am curious about back lever progressions. It isn't included in Foundation?? Anyone knows why? Can somebody recommend a progression?

>>41335755
You can probably just start with a straddle. My first time trying back lever I was able to hold a full back lever by going down into it and just focusing on my chest and shoulders.

I just wanted to post a video of me.

Santa Monica and Venice Beach are so fucking awesome I wish I could afford to live out there.

>>41335849
Nice, friend :)
Me and my friends were gonna go over spring break but we ended up cancelling last minute. Do you live in California?

>>41335922

Nah I live in the UK.
Was only in LA for two weeks. The lifestyle around the beach is amazing but I couldn't believe how filthy and seedy the city is in general.

Probably will go back though.

Should I just buy wristbands if I'm tearing my wrist skin up on gymnastic rings?
I haven't been training on rings for a few weeks and when I returned to it, my grip started being retarded, although I can still do the movements I used to do.

>>41332274
What do you weight?
How long did it take to be able to handstand

How much do you weigh?

is the proper question

>>41336010
Where are you tearing and from what movements?

What are some good BW excercises to really hit your obliques hard?

Pull ups with bands feel like a completely different movement to without. I can do 2 full un assisted pull ups, what's the best way to increase that number?

YEARS

GOD DAMMIT

>>41338145

Negatives.

>>41336010
Yeah you should, you can also just wrap your wrists.
>>41336885
Muscle ups usually cause your wrist to tear

>>41336693
Im 170lbs right now
Honestly if i would fully dedicate myself it would take only a couple months at best.

>>41338213
Try doing towel pull ups as well.

>>41335223

1g of protien per kg of bw


>>41336010

You should stop kipping

I get cuts on my wrist and i always muscle up strict.

>>41340493

then quit using false grip, or deal with it.

>1g per kg

That's kind of okay, but it needs to be more if you want gains. If you want, write the stuff you eat to get your protein and maybe there is something on which you're missing out. I am pretty sure if you increase your protein to at least 1.5 per kg you'll see progress in a month or less.

>>41340545
Then how will I muscle up without false grip? I'll be forced to kip.
The best solution is wristband or tape.

>>41340590

If you can strict out false grip reps then you can do atleast singles without a falsegrip, or yeah just wrap up.

>>41340895
i can do 3x5 false grip on rings but i cant strict out singles
but i can do no false grip 3x5 on bars

>>41340916

that interesting, what do you think is your limiting factor?

>>41341050
For rings? It's generally very hard to do a no false grip muscle up on them. Just search it up on youtube and all you will see is crossfiters kipping into it.

>>41341089

Ughh i see enough of that shit at my gym, i was curious what your thought your limmiting factors was.

>>41341173
well with the rings the problem is that its hard to pull as explosively and go around the bar. You see during the bar muscle up your body isn't going in a vertical path because the bar is in the way so you have sort of a ? looking path to get above the bar. With the rings you can go inbetween them so your path is vertical. Now to get above the rings without a false grip you would need to turn your wrists as you go up, which is incredibly difficult. Or you can do a ? path like with the bar, but the problem is that the rings are not stationary like the bar so that would be difficult as well.

>>41336885
Right under the palm. Mostly from muscle ups, although on some other motions involving false grip it does as well.

>>41338863
Thanks for the opinion. I'm gonna improvise with the stuff I have home before I'm buying them, though. Might discover something interesting.

>>41340016
I don't kip, bro.

>>41341523
Good luck man. Im always tearing up my wrists during ring training as well, not gonna do anything about it though.

>>41334474
If you've been lifting for 10 months and haven't made progress it's because you either aren't doing it consistently, have poor nutrition or poor workouts/work ethic. Switching to purely bodyweight exercises isn't going to magically change that. I'd definitely recommend introducing more BW exercises into your workouts but it's harder to make gains with BW since the key to gains is good nutrition/recovery and progressive overload which is made easier with quantifiable weights and effective compound/isolation movements.
You should be looking at what you're currently doing wrong, learn and fix that before making the change to BW, getting upset at still no gains then potentially quitting exercise all together.

>>41341523

you seem upset. just quit being a pussy, don't use false grip, or wrap up.

>>41341831
Do you understand how rings work? You have to use a false grip.

>>41341831
I'm not upset, brah.

>don't use false grip
Maybe I don't have the knowledge or experience, but from what I know, strict muscle ups on rings require false grip.

>>41341869

> you have to use a false grip

Can you recommend body weight exercises to get more flexible and cum directly in my own mouth

does anything hit upper traps? like shrugs on a bar or some shit??

>>41341966
bend backwards until you snap your spine, then you should be able to reach your cock with your mouth

>>41342001
You can do inverted shrugs on dip bars or rings. I also like to do inverted upright rows.

>>41342038
>inverted upright rows

i dont understand

>>41342001

my bro if you're doing propertly shrugged/protracted handstands your traps will grow

>>41342210
So you go into an inverted hang and from there just pull with your arms

>>41341954
Impressive, but it would be a bitch to do for sets.
Also, you gotta build up to that somehow, you know.

>>41341954
So you want us doing an advanced move and probably hurting our elbows in the process? No thx Jeff, id rather keep tearing my wrists.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get to one armed inverted rows to fix an imbalance in my lats. Any tips on progression?

>>41343107

inverted row
archer inverted row
one arm inverted row

>>41342908

yeahh i knowi just wrap up or get calluses friendo.

>>41343107

what imbalance? how did you get it?

Does anyone have a bodyweight routine like the lifting threads have, you know like reps and set on alternating days or whatever.

Or does it not work in the same way since you can't progress the weights with each workout.

>>41343209
Well there's foundation which is always being shilled by a wanna be gymnast so you can try that.
But personally I just do my own thing. The only routine im using is pic related for planche

>>41343223

I'm gonna need some background information with this I think.

What's pe? Se? Sac?

>>41343263
I honestly have no clue lol but I can already do full bent arm planche so im not too worried.
Where do you see pe and se?

>>41343280

Second column.

>>41343355
Again no clue lol im just gonna go do the progressions
>>41322628
This is the thread with all the info, you can look in there.

>>41343152
>archer inverted row
>rings

Bar equivalent?

>>41343379
You can do archer pulling movements on bars

>>41343169
one of my lats bulges out more than the other.

happened after a bad case of bursitis.

got worse after a pinched nerve.

It's an exercise. hard to explain. There is a video in the pdf. This is what it looks like

>You are standing up
>You bent one knee at 90 degrees, feet pointing backwards,
>You abduct your knee.away from the body.

here is a front view and a side view. It imitates a straddle. SACs 1-6 are different variations of this. You are supposed to do the between the sets of hard exercises to increase your mobility. It's easier to just download the pdf.

>>41343647
Oh so its a mobility exercise? I dont think I need it, i can already do splits so i think ill just focus on strength training.

>>41343682
Yeah when you look at [>>41343223] at the top. There is Scapular Shrug and Swivel hips. Everything below Scapular Shrug is for strength and skill. Everything below Swivel hips is done between the sets and is supposed to be mobility work.

>>41335556
Master the frogstand first, then Planche will be easy peasy since you could just start in frogstand and practice sticking your legs back out until you can hold it. It's how I did it.

>>41343741
I find that easy. I can bent arm pike press into handstand so my bent arm strength is pretty good.
