@dawn16 So envious... That's a killer setup!

@nangua321 A rest day for me was doing the circuit twice. But i didn't take a single day off from all exercise for more than a year.

@jmw4grace Good job. Slow progress is still progress.

@nangua321 I realise that, and come to think of it once I reached a certain amount of progress, push ups DID become easier than dips. I do try to do more dips than push ups though because tricep strength is invaluable for my goals. For pull exercises, my standard set tops out at 15 on normal...

@dawn16 It's really only sustainable at the start because the amount of reps are so low. Eventually the reps/circuits get to a point where muscle fatigue will more likely happen but I would adjust them to make sure I was doing at least something every day.

@dontdosadness True that. I'll post combos on Park equipment when I get a chance.

@apologet3000 Thank you!

@joshuabariova Mad envy... So many redditors here have awesome training setups. I'm still playing on children's park equipment :\

@beaud20 Thank you. I was pretty surprised as well. I suspect the resistance training was a shock to the system after doing only bboying for so long which promoted faster muscle adaptation.

@pederson07 I wish I had a structured plan but the honest truth is I was constantly adjusting my plan because as my strength grew, more advanced movements became possible for me which then replaced my initial exercises. Setting little milestones/goals just outside your capabilities and updating...

@fromgenesistorevelation Thank you, kindly. I still have a long way to go but hey, the journey is half the fun!

@groo101 They weren't very strong at all. I couldn't even maintain a plank on my fingertips without a lot of pain for more than a few seconds. It's a bit impractical and unsafe to just go on your fingertips willy nilly so the best advice I can offer is improving forearm strength through other...

@davecb Just some Lever practice.

@commissioned2encourageu They have actually gotten worse since I started training. I still haven't got the hang of doing it with my now larger lats. My leg form is kind of shocking compared with long ago. :(

@musikgirl Yes. Rest is important. I've added extra info on my current routine as well as covering rest days. Basically i do a single circuit on my "rest" days unless I need to fully recover for something big in which case I now take up to a week off without any exercise.

@chadwick90 Incredible control. Love the ambidexterity, as well.

@jasminemark Absolutely. You don't have to be strict unless you have a specific and difficult goal. My only aim is to live a lifestyle healthy enough so that when I do eventually have a family, I can be the kind of dad that keeps up with the kids instead of sitting on his arse.

@groo101 Okay this week's a doozy; I believe this first exercise is called "frenchies" (If anyone knows for sure please correct me and forgive my ignorance.) Fingertip Pushups. Particularly happy with this one as the last time I tried fingertip pushups I could barely manage 8 and that was with...

@shediac Thank you, lovely lady! Sorry I haven't really been posting. Progress has been slow so I didn't really feel there's been anything worthwhile sharing.

@commissioned2encourageu DAT PLANCHE.
