@socalbeach Thanks for the shout out. Here's the mega article on tendinopathy for anyone who is interested: https://stevenlow.org/overcoming-tendonitis/ This is the book: https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Tendonitis-Systematic-Evidence-Based-Tendinopathy/dp/1947554026/

@joshpear87 Nice.

@fredbird67 As others have said, we need to know your flexibility routine. There's lots of different methods that can work. Static stretching, dynamic, ballistic, PNF, loaded stretching. They all work, but they can be ineffective in certain circumstances.

@joshpear87 Looking solid. Glad I could be a part of your calisthenics journey :)

@cloture It's good enough to start. You can always do some negatives/eccentrics from the pullup bar or on the wall as well to start building up strength.

@harmonmarie As a physical therapist my generalized opinion on this over the years is to try them all and see what feels the best. Then do that and eliminate the other ones if you don't care and just want to get some pushing work in. Also, as other people have said, technique and proper...

@joe_raymond Maybe. Does your L-sit maintain level legs the whole time? Most people say they do a L-sit ring dip but their legs dip during the dip which makes it much easier. If you can do it that way that may mean you're used to flaring the elbows more than keeping them tucked and have...

@hailsatan420 Yeah, they really do help people's pullups and lots of people neglect them thinking more sets of pullups will help more.

@travelbigtime I've used the 5x5 method to progress with pullups and chinups to bring my wife up from 0 pullups to 12 pullups with this method in about 2.5-3 months. Example: You can do 0 pullups to start. Start by jumping up to the bar and slowly lowering in a negative for 3-5s or so. Repeat...

@meld You're welcome!

@laura06 You're welcome!

@a87 Front lever retraction is good. Front lever is not fully overhead like pullups so the issue in the above article does not apply.

@meld Try doing some reverse hypextensions with legs in straddle to get the feel of the particular movement with legs in a different orientation. Straight body legs together vs straddle is different, so even if you did a lot of straight body body positioning work, you can still screw up...

@laura06 No that's not what I was talking about. People tend to flex their wrist when they fatigue as a compensation. This brings the strap and ring against the forearm during the dip causing it to rub. No... I said to perform RTO because makes it so your forearms won't rub. It places the...

@laura06 RTO -- rings turned out. and also dont flex the wrists as that rubs the forearm against the ring.

@arniep Looked at it and is free, so I added you guys to the FAQ section for RR apps. https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/faq#wiki_is_there_an_app_or_other_resources_to_follow_for_the_recommended_routine.3F

@yahleel None of these. If you can already the the amount of reps you need like set of 10 pullups and that's your max but for only 1 set, then usually just scale back from failure by a rep to two and do the full workout: Example: 8-8-8 then build up the reps from 8-8-8 to 9-8-8, 9-9-8...

@gokua It's a common misconception that you need to retract. Just engage with depression and don't retract any.
