@virdne For OAP, yes definitely; for FL…maybe. You’ll build strength in your lats, but the movement mechanics are different in a FL, so I’m not sure how transferable it would be. Worth a try though?

@miketemple2008 This is interesting. How old are you? And what kind of movements were you doing in your warmups?

@lsouza You’re right, the long-haul applies more to those of us who don’t/didn’t have coaches. If people are lucky enough to be able to afford coaching then I hands down think it’s achievable in far less time.

@virdne No, I didn’t do weighted pull-ups alongside this. I found that I never made any progress in any strength skills if I attempted to focus on more than one at a time. Hence FL work being the entirety of my Pull days.

@sanclementehope Probably closer to the 1.5hr mark, although I haven’t done this particular workout in awhile.

@valentinusheretic Feels! How old are you?

@docmrm Yes especially in the early days. Wish I had had a spotter!

@dawn16 Yup frequency is greater, but since you’ll train them both in one individual session your training volume per session will most likely be less (either through less total sets or lower intensity as you tire). I think it’s worth testing out though - try it for a training cycle and see how...

@justiceisblind For VERY VERY beginners? Well, I started by literally holding myself up against the wall. I did this until I could hold 30-60s. This made sure I had enough strength and endurance in my wrists and shoulders. I then started experimenting with frogstands to get used to hand...

@dawn16 Hard to say without knowing everything else. If you’re only training legs, FL and BL then obviously training both skills twice a week will most likely equal faster progress providing you can recover between workouts (that’s fundamentally important).

@pete_martinez Good luck! #thewallismyfriend

@dawn16 Rarely with heavy weights. During this time I was doing pistol squats variations and plyometric style jumping lunges. Now I do a lot of PNF work for splits, so I rarely use weights with my legs. I don’t think it’d detract from your gains though, so long as you don’t do too much volume...

@myaccount1 Had never heard of HEMA before. Looks exciting! This thread has produced some really divided opinions on the subject of warming up. Clearly if science had categorical proof of one or the other you’d think we would all be closer to an agreement, but the fact that it hasn’t makes me...

@nasasira I personally very very rarely used bands. Doesn’t mean to say it won’t work for you. But my opinion is that for the negatives component the focus wasn’t so much on form as it was on building strength and volume, and so rather than forcing a higher progression for the sake of it, it...

@mariscout You’re welcome. Hope it helps

@talldog Yeah I trained FL and OACU on the same day, simply because I was previously training weighted chin-ups on the same day as my FL with no problems so I thought I could handle the volume. I was wrong! Hindsight is 20/20. I think your plan of breaking them up is good. After all you can...

@missgiver I feel you! Hope you get to recover promptly and get back on the bandwagon

@dhawk Hear that @fromgenesistorevelation?

@talldog Yeah my body seemed to cope with it fine. I would take a deload week every 5-6 weeks, and for me that meant almost zero strength work, just casual mobility and handstand stuff. I’d also react to how my body felt, so even if I aimed for Mon-Tue-off-Thu-off-Sat-off, if say on Tuesday I...

@claylong25 Best of luck!
