@jenortonjr hahaha, i'm only one individual out of a sea of many hopelessly curious and excited to try new things- and calisthenics/rings/gymnastics happen to be what I'm interested in! I don't believe in natural talent and all that- just good solid hard work, plenty of rest, and focus on ur own...

@levation1 those are pebbles bro haha

@billie230990 thank you!!

@traceyharding I'd say- don't worry too much about what limits you and look at what you can do. Someone who's tall who focuses for 2 years may achieve it quicker than someone more genetically-favoured who trains for 1 year, loses focus or isn't motivated and dedicated to attain the goal! People...

@traceyharding In my opinion, I think it does. A person with wider arms is bound to need to take a longer time (I'm not sure exactly how much more- but it seems that from my searches on social media- they generally take half a year to 1.5 years longer). The principle of leverage is an unkind god...

@traceyharding That definitely seems to play a key role! I've found three people in my country who are exceedingly strong- one of them can even do a 26 second supinated full planche! (They're also around 50-55kg I believe & their body-types seem to be that of ectos.) But wow, they are like gods...

@traceyharding And likewise, I can hold a 1 second cross, but can't do a floor full / rings straddle planche! Below is something I shared in another post (the person was claiming that you NEED to be able to do a straddle/full planche or even a back lever before training IC, and I disagreed)...

@traceyharding Not at all! I'm training advanced tucked and straddle planche on my parallettes (but exclusively supinated-grip) right now haha- only properly started programming planche work a month ago! I don't train planche on floor or pronated grip on pbars- I see my calisthenics friends...

@smallmb and likewise, i'm excited to see how far you can go!

@smallmb thank you! i think i follow you on ig as well- your training's pretty sick (rock climbing's p cool too)

@revmarkhunter sg bolehhh

@angel9523 Yeah bro, someone's gotta take on those mad super skilled people from Russia or China hahaha Feel free to reach out to me on ig! Happy to train tgt- was completely lost when I first started lelll

@sister_diane thank you!

@superbob97 Top rings: Summary- Any and all rings elements. Muscle Ups / Pull ups / Dips / RTO Dips / Iron Cross / Levers, etc. Bottom rings: Summary- Progression exercises, especially those close to the ground. Iron Cross progressions (eg. pullouts) / Maltese progressions (banded) / Levers...

@missysylvester thank you! i set it up ard 2 months ago- it looks ugly in clips, but it's versatile and super effective!

@jermyn thank you so much!

@theway2013 no worries!

@theway2013 Yes! I used 3 different resistance bands- however, I varied the way I used them. The resistance of my bands are: 11-30kg 7-16kg 2-5kg I initially hung a single band from a bar under my feet- you can also put the bottom of the band under your butt, or hang a pair of resistance...

@richtoday UPDATE: Immediate goal now is maltese - here is my most recent maltese progression training! Immediate goal is to get solid front & back levers (5 secs min). For these, I'll be doing (lightly) band-assisted front / back levers on my waist-level rings (yupp, it's my 3rd set of rings...

@dawn16 shag bro haha
