    @greatisyourmercy24 Great work my man. You’ve nailed one of the hardest moves in BWF!

    6 years after discovering /r/bwf

    @dawn16 I went to a gym (Well, it was a hotel gym) a couple weeks ago after having not been one for years. It was really unusual having mirrors everywhere to stare at myself while working out. Not gonna lie though, it was cool seeing my vascularity.

    3 things I learnt | From 0 to 8 strict muscle ups in 12 months (continued)

    @east81 I don't agree with any of these points... One can learn a strict muscle up first without a doubt and they should very well train the transition.

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

    @shesadreamer It doesn't have to be something you do everyday and like you noticed, it wouldn't make sense to do it everyday. Even in the splits or toe-touching challenge, stretching every single day was not necessary. As far as other exercises to help with the L-sit would be this compression...

    A Year of Calisthenics and Powerlifting Progress (6'2", 200lbs, 19y/o - 3 years lifting, 1.5 specifically BWF Focused)

    @von20207777 Piked inverted hang straight to full BL is always so beautiful. Your progress is great! The combination of weightlifting and BWF made you super strong. Good work on the tuck planche on the rings... and the one leg FL... i'm on that same level as you for both! (We internet bros!)

    Sunday Show Off - Your weekly bodyweight fitness #INSPO thread!

    @groo101 I'm feeling pretty solid with my elevated planche leans. I can totally feel balanced comfortably in rings shoulderstand (not just hold that shit for 2 seconds). I was able to flex my glutes (can't do that when piked) and point my feet and actually press the rings together better than...

    Science and Push-ups

    @this_dot Unfortunately the trajectory of the shoulders can make the movement significantly harder or easier if it's being sent forward or just down. If they are going down, the elbows are often being flared out to the sides excessively when people are weak. If someone is being coached...

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

    @willy_b Same here! What hold time should we shoot for? 10-sec 45deg V? Anyway, looks like the response is good enough to make this challenge happen... I'll make a new thread when I have the resources put together, and I'll ask people to mention what progression and hold time they are at so...

    Calisthenic Movement's Level 5 Program test week results - 45 second L sit and 14 DEAD HANG pull ups!

    @cactus_lil I read 45sec L-sit and went wow, but then I saw it's on parallettes and went... oh yea, duh.. lol :P Nice pullups at least tho!

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

    @holisticherbgirl Haha I liked the 730-1095 days (2-3 years)... But it's okay, people don't have to achieve a full L/V/Manna in 30-days... the point of this month is going to be to help get you focused and closer to your goals. It may take more weeks/months to hit the final goals, and that's...

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

    @willy_b Doesn't have to start today... but if we are gonna go through with this, I'll be putting the resources/progressions up for the L, V and Manna so everyone of every level can get in on the action. In regards to the flexibility taking a while, what I've been noticing is that by simply...

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

    My hamstring/pike compression is much better than it was a year ago, so I think I'm ready to start working toward my V-sit. The thing is, I'm realizing I don't have the motivation to work on it diligently like I did for the L-sit. Maybe if I start a 30-day challenge for all of us to work on our...

    Science and Push-ups

    @jermyn Okay, I'll clarify. I'm not saying you cant send the elbows back. I don't teach people to send the elbows back. I teach them to send the shoulders FORWARD so the elbows stay in the same position the entire time. I'm not saying YOU OR I can't do knee pushups properly... i'm saying If...

    Bodyweight Skill Tree

    @hannah97 Damn that is quite messy indeed... but it’s cool that you made it! Shit gets very complex like that.. maybe someone else can comment how to improve the flow? I’d love to know as well. Btw Victorian is misspelled above FL pull-ups.

    Printable Progress Tracker (original by /u/Venezuellionaire)

    @gdtcn2022 That's really cool. I'm pretending that if I were to use this, I wouldn't need every column to be the day of the week. Maybe instead of monday, tuesday, wed, etc, it would just be blank and you could fill in the date (e.g., 10/7/2014). (That way you don't have to waste columns if you...
