    Cool, basic outdoor gym area near my house; Is it enough!?

    @jharrod84 That's a great set up there! If you get yourself a pair of wooden rings, you'll have everything needed for upper body! :D

    Anything wrong with this routine?

    @freefromabuse Yes. That will be enough to make gains. Probably more than enough. Many people train LESS than that and still gain.

    "If you can't hold a plank for 120 seconds, you're either a) too fat; b) too weak; or c) doing something wrong in your workouts." How true is this?

    @cabalauxz I don’t think it’s even semantics. I just wouldn’t be surprised to find someone who is really strong (like can Bench a lot) not be able to hold a 2 minute plank. Especially at the heavier weights.

    Building myself a program towards goals of HSPU & FL; Any changes/advice?

    @kaylamorgan There are some pretty good exercises in here! One thing I think you may be able to improve is that you have 3 Upper Body days. That might work for a moment but as you get more advanced, that frequency might be a bit higher. I would suggest dropping it down lower. I'd also...

    My hanging L sit just went from 1-3 seconds to 12 seconds

    @questionquest74 It may have been from the time you took off of it then. The rest might of helped you to recover. :D

    Anything wrong with this routine?

    @dee1720 I'd take out the low intensity day and simply recover that day instead. I think that will keep you further away from under-recovering and help you gain better. :D

    Weighted Vest Discussion + Help: For those who have owned/used weighted vests in the past which features should be avoided and which are must haves?

    @dinkold Both of those are pretty expensive for how small the weight is. 🤔I have this one by CAP. It's a little bit more pricey but for that, you can go up to 150 pounds. I use it for Single Leg Squats. I can almost do an eccentric with it by myself which is cool because that's like 90% of my...

    My hanging L sit just went from 1-3 seconds to 12 seconds

    @questionquest74 How often were you doing it before you took the 5 days off?

    What’s your best L-sit time? And those who’ve hit 30 seconds or more, where did you go from there?

    @reallylongnickname I didn't ever do much work directly on them. I progressed to Planche Pushup work as soon as I could. I'd suggest you do the same by working on something like Leaned Forward Pushups if you want to improve your Planche ANDD your L-Sit at the same time. I'm pretty sure I can...

    Hard plateau in pull-ups

    @childofgod49 I'm sorry to hear about this plateau and how long it's gone. It's kind of annoying to be working that hard for that long and not getting the results you want! I do think one thing that could help you is switching to getting STRONGER now instead of going for more reps. Use a...

    Considering a new approach to strength and hypertrophy by implementing high rep training

    @brohoho I think it will work for hypertrophy. But anything works for hypertrophy. High reps work, low reps, work etc. All it requires is enough volume. For strength, I don't think it will work so well. In fact, a lot of the videos you see of people doing High-Rep programs and looking very...

    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @catfisher I had the opposite experience. My shoulders started feeling better when I dropped the internal rotation. If I had to guess, it’s because there was already so much internal rotation going on at that point since I was getting to Planche Pushups and HSPUs and OACs so I think that might...

    Training to do multiple high-rep sets without dropping reps

    @petertohen That sounds like a pretty difficult goal. Any particular reason that you chose it? I think rather than pure endurance work, I would suggest adding some strength work. A day where you work on Weighted Pull-Ups since that would be specific towards this goal. The Weighted Pull-Ups...

    Feedback on my routine? A/B 3 times a week full body progressive movements

    @andraus I'd probably swap the Dip out on B day and put in Leaned Forward Pushups to work towards the Planche Pushup which will have a great effect on all your other pushing goals in the long term.

    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @bibbigo I don’t think you really need to do internal rotation since so much of our work already is internal rotator training. I would definite work on the external though.

    Can I get an honest analysis/critique of my current calisthenics workout?

    @barlowgirl Based on your goals, I would suggest taking out the Banded Pull-Ups. Those will simply take recovery away from the reps you can do with added weight. Focus on the quality and intensity rather than the quantity and the quantity will go up. For the HS goal, swap the Dips out for Pike...
