@sam2017 I went through a phase of numerous months where I transitioned away from using the wall, and after trial and error discovered that my general HS performance (ability to balance/keep good form) was worse on sessions where I hadn't used the wall to 'prep' my hollow body form in advance...

@jesusdudecoolguy What do you think might be his secret?

@aaaaaaaaaa Oh stretching 100% requires warm muscles. I’m pretty confident that that has been proven in the scientific literature time and time again. But I’m not so sure about it’s requirement for strength training.

@j814wong That’s an interesting take.

@ritabd You’re welcome!

@lunastella I think the cool down has far less necessity than the arguments for a warmup. It’s designed to slowly bring your CNS back to a relaxed state, but arguably your body will achieve this on its own eventually without cooling down. Instead of a specific cool down, I just spend some time...

@dawn16 Cool I’m gonna give these a try

@dawn16 What are halos btw?

@wearingthearmour Don’t get too tied up with the wording...by warmup it’s not literal (since like you said joints can’t strictly “warm up”). But that being said you can get blood flowing through them and lubricate the tendons and soft tissue attached to them. This is what a wrist warmup would...

@micaelasc Someone else has mentioned that article in this thread actually. I’d love to get my hands on it.

@wearingthearmour My right wrist occasionally flairs up. What helped me was Antranik’s wrist strengthening exercises. I started doing these every morning and as part of my normal wrist mobility warm-up before doing any HSs. Do you currently have a wrist warmup?

@dawn16 You’re welcome

@jokindley Hope it helps

@eminem4life Thanks - hope that helps

@dawn16 Hope it gave you some inspiration. Stick to it and you’ll get there eventually

@daughterofgod1117 I think I’d probably be similar, although haven’t ever bothered to measure the difference

@carley9897 Yeah this seems like a fair observation. The only thing I’d add is, I wonder if some people may go into a workout “feeling” fine, but then still go and injure themselves. So in your scenario we have to question our own ability to judge whether we need a warmup or not. I suppose some...

@mylordisfaithful Sorry to hear that. What helped me was Antranik’s wrist strengthening exercises. Do these multiple times a day and slowly build up the strength and flexibility. Definitely worth a shot.

@inthename1992 Hey. No I didn’t lose any weight. I was never huge (maximum was 75kg at 170cm), but my standard “strength bod” is around 71-72kg. I maintained this when I switched to calisthenics
