@jb77 Just curious - how heavy are your weighted pull-ups?

@kimhimmel FYI I-beam clamps and hardware are normal for large gymnasiums. https://www.gymsupply.com/rings.aspx You can see a full ring tower is $4-6K and ceiling mount setup is less than $1K.

@jun_za No. I do them standing up, so the picture in the original Post shows the movement and ROM (somewhat). Both exercises (horizontal and vertical) were shown to me by someone who is a certified trainer but I agree that doesn't make that person the authority on such things. That why I've...

@mydavesat Have you worked with elements that use RTO, or transitions where the rings are moving around, e.g. iron cross progressions... ? Shorter straps vs. longer straps will feel different just like cables with swivels vs. typical 1.5in wife straps feel different.

@rj786 Only at the end of ROM for external rotation when my arm is at 180 deg or past that at say 210 deg. I feel contraction and tension in the shoulder and also in the scapula and/or other back muscles. I consider this quick and easy takes less than 1 minutes to do 20 reps on each side in...

@mydavesat A few observations: This is the official FIG rings frame standard specifications. This means 3m/9.85ft from the ring attachment point to the bottom of the rings. Then they will be another 2.8m/9.2ft over the mat. I don't know what you mean by 3m in this context, did you mean...

@chris379 I filled out that chart a year ago - it looks cool.

@khuleman Your post was removed by the Mods.

@michaelphemo Hilarious! We miss having your gleaming personality around here… LOL How are things in your area with this crazy situation??

@latestnews I just assumed the BWF Glossary included these, but I now see it doesn't. I'll make a request to the Mods to review and update this, with a list of my suggestions. Maybe I'll just make a new post to collect the community's input instead too. SAS = Straight Arm Strength BAS = Bent...

@betaninja This week should I be interesting indeed ...

@jun_za I've never done face pulls, so I will need to experiment or replace some of my exercises to work muscles differently. Thanks. I also do German Hangs, and Skin the Cat on the rings and even monkey bars which are good shoulder conditioning too. Agreed. I do them with the PVC pipe...

@faithwithobedience If you look at the posting rules in the sidebar it’s there. See below https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/rules?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app

@hannah97 Good luck to you. Looking at the picture reminded me of the time I moved my entertainment center with a TV and lots of electronics inside and behind it there were wires and cables everywhere entangled in a web of knots. :-O

@lovinggodlovingpeople Funny running into you here! Humor the community with your more than 2x BW pull-ups :-O

At the start of every training session, I do a lot of shoulder warm-up and prep with many exercises. I wanted to start a discussion specifically about internal and external rotation to share what I do and to find out what others do. I think my shoulder routine, which is self-developed, is due...

@faithwithobedience Congratulations on making progress, however, you should still follow the Posting Rules for progress posts. The Mods may remove your post since you did not address the basics.

I know diet and nutrition can help promote connective tissues growth, and I've read bone broth, having enough protein, and other foods may contribute to connective tissue. However, I am more interested in exercises, conditioning, and prehab that people are doing to aid or promote connective...

@giangnt Very cool, I was unaware of that and have never seen that. Are you aware of any examples you can share? To see a one arm variation of a proper full planche seems to rare, like finding a unicorn in the garden. There was someone posting a couple of months ago asking about a Victorian...

@hannah97 Some Suggestions and Observations You skip over one sometimes two progressions, e.g. Tuck, Adv Tuck, Single Leg, Straddle, Full progressions of some exercises or strength elements. Adding weight e.g. Ankle Weight would be a progression past a Full variation of an exercises before...
