    Diamond pushups use more chest than wide pushups (from a study that also examined standard, pseudo-planche and simplified Lalanne pushups)

    @fromgenesistorevelation Good points, especially about volume and periodization. I saw a comment on yesterday's thread about pushups getting a lot of upvotes when recommending wide pushups for chest, and since I find them overrated I looked back at this article I had read and thought was more...

    Most impressive weighted muscle ups

    @vikuteee9 His form is decent, not absurd kip. Here are some of the least kipping one arm muscle ups.

    PSA: Don’t trust a shitty pull up bar. Almost died today because I’m an idiot

    @ccmartist Even if you are light, you can apply a lot of force on the bar by pulling explosively.

    If you are tall or heavy don't lose hope - full planche at 202cm 102kg/6'7 225lbs and other feats by heavyweight calisthenics athletes

    @melissamagnus Cool, I have found his video of front lever rows and many front lever holds, but didn't find footage of the straddle planche and hefesto after looking through like 20 of his 80 current videos.

    @richtoday This article is good for understanding hypertrophy. Not sure about the relation between EMG and gains, this reply could be useful to you.

    Most impressive weighted muscle ups

    @deborah123 It's true, but I have not seen anything closer. Still, I am excited for the future of bodyweight training, since there are a lot more people doing them worldwide and in the next years we will see movements no one had succeeded at before.

    Diamond pushups use more chest than wide pushups (from a study that also examined standard, pseudo-planche and simplified Lalanne pushups)

    @richtoday Since the form of the exercises is similar, with only moderate differences in hand placement, it should reliably tell which of these 5 variations activate some muscles more than others. Other than intensity, more range of motion also affects gains, but for these pushups it's similar...

    @supergirl376 Thank you, some of these athletes were a recent discovery for me too.

    Most impressive weighted muscle ups

    @deborah123 We have the one arm wall HeSPU and the strict one arm elbow lever to handstand, which are the closest things I have seen to a OAHSPU.

    Coolest representations of calisthenics in movies, animation, video games and other media?

    @emmageary It's worth training again, there's always time in the day for some sets of pullups and some sniping with the AWP.

    @safaristan You make a good point similar to the one here, I edited the original post.

    @emmageary No problem, it happens. For real videos of street workout I'd recommend Noa Man Workout and this video.

    Most impressive weighted muscle ups

    @deborah123 So it would be a one arm chest to bar/chest to ring followed by a one arm impossible dip? Though the pullup in the video does not have the same range of motion of an actual two arm chest to bar, and I have not seen full range one arm front lever rows either.

    @chickenbaltiriceandnaan Yeah, normal youtube videos are not really an example of fictional media and the really good athletes are much stronger than Frank.

    Most impressive weighted muscle ups

    @deborah123 That's awesome. Do you think it is possible for someone to do a slow muscle up with one arm?

    @emmanuel330990 Kung Fury was cool. Reminds me of another series including ninjas and nazis, Ninja Action.

    Diamond pushups use more chest than wide pushups (from a study that also examined standard, pseudo-planche and simplified Lalanne pushups)

    @dawn16 Chest flyes are the best isolation, weighted standard pushups (or band resisted according to this ) can be as good as the bench press, pseudo-planche and diamond are good, archer pushups too I guess. Personally I feel ring and partially RTO (rings turned out) dips in the chest a lot.

    @peslaugh Well I think things like doing one arm pull ups so high you almost fly away is impressive no matter how light the athlete doing it.
