    Would you guys be down for a 30-day L-sit/V-sit/Manna challenge so we could motivate each other?

    @aravalon Ah yea, the elbow pain, I am actually unsure what to suggest for that. Is it cause they hyperextend?

    Cirque du Soleil acrobat Andrii Bondarenko's Instagram page, where he shares incredible bodyweight fitness feats

    @steve774 Yea I'm not saying he's not capable of doing things without canes. There are just hidden benefits to canes one may not notice. Another thing that's good about canes is that it requires less wrist flexibility because the fingers don't have to be extended flat on the floor and people...

    Would you guys be down for a 30-day L-sit/V-sit/Manna challenge so we could motivate each other?

    @aravalon The problem with the bars are that you don't have to depress the shoulders to get your feet up. So the floor forces you to press the shoulders down. Have you tried putting a book or something minimal to elevate your hands just enough to help you press down? Your ability and range to...

    Cirque du Soleil acrobat Andrii Bondarenko's Instagram page, where he shares incredible bodyweight fitness feats

    @steve774 Not to take away from whatever he's doing, but just for the sake of conversation, you may notice that he's doing some handbalancing on some rather tall canes. Those canes are pretty interesting because the taller they get, they look more impressive and challenging, but in practice...

    Technique Thursday - Ring Dips

    @davecb I remember the first time I started doing ring dips, I had a strong RTO Support, but ring dips were very shaky and difficult. I decided to regress and make a goal of achieving 5x15 parallel bar dips before moving onto the ring dips. I got to 5x12 and said enough is enough and...

    @markz11 As you move toward tucking less, the knees will come together so it's okay!

    Sunday Show Off - Share your progress

    @davecb My au cortado has magically gotten smoother after practicing half au cortado all summer. I've been trying to find ways to straighten my right arm (it can't fully extend like normal due to an accident several years ago), and I've been doing many different things, but this week, it...

    New Years 2023 Announcement: BWF Primer Follow-along Event + BWSF Routine Soft-Launch!

    @dontdosadness Hi Nick, I just wanted to say the page itself is extremely wordy. And this is coming from someone who loves to read but this was just a crazy amount of text to take this all in and figure out what IS the actual routine when in actuality it is quite simple. So here's the actual...

    Would you guys be down for a 30-day L-sit/V-sit/Manna challenge so we could motivate each other?

    @steph23 They don't really work the same muscle groups actually. Do they both work abs? Sure, but there's so much more different things going on with those exercises. The L-sit is all about hip flexion. But with dragon flags, the hips are totally open and the glutes (hip extensors) are...

    Sunday Show Off - The thread for people who can appreciate the plateaus you've conquered this past week!

    @courtreim I think it would be damn near impossible for me if I tried. Stall bars are hella humbling everyone I get an opportunity to use some.
