@runnergirl75 My first time at the Lyra gym I was really concerned about the trapeze-y flips and inversions and whatnot that people were doing. No one fell, despite the fact that it was many people's first time. It turns out that we evolved from climbing mammals, and our first instinct is to...

@brothermanbill With $800, I could buy a new gaming rig, headset, mouse, and keyboard! It's like he's not even trying to be a gamer...

@angiew Warmups are really overrated for sporadic training. In the 1-5 rep range, you really don't do enough 'tendon damage' that it needs recovery (unless your tendons are already damaged so significantly so as to notice in a 1-5 rep range, in which case OMG-STOP!).

@mydavesat The instability feels like a really big hurdle initially, but you get used to it very fast (couple of weeks), and the additional instability of longer straps is trivial compared to the initial hurdle. Think support hold like doing an L-sit on two of those exercise disks. Initially...

@jhillaire84 I think that there is a low (slanted) bar for the purpose of training assisted jumps (getting to jump higher and higher) and a high bar for the purpose of training maximum jump height.

@mydavesat Uh - what the heck are you trying to accomplish? Create a system of rings mounting points so that your 2.5m rings feel like they at 3m? It isn't going to be enough difference to matter unless you are very high level. It put it in comparison, my home rings are probably only 2m...

@jhillaire84 Philosophically, BWF doesn't need specific equipment for specific exercises. Use however you want! That said: 1 - I've used it for climbing. 2 - Certainly for balance practice (try forwards and backwards!). 3 - No idea.

@emilyjolene Fixed in edit - thanks.

@emilyjolene At the "under $800" and "rent construction equipment" price points, hanging a set of cheap ($50 w/straps) low rings under the parallel bars and hanging a set of good high rings ($100 w/straps) from the top bar start to become attractive options. Note that my setup is garbage at the

@pilgrimson Ideally there is enough space above the rings to do a handstand (without feet touching the bar they hang from) and a dead hang pullup (without feet touching ground). There is not that much space in the pictures setup regardless of where the rings are adjusted to.

@amotz For everyone who is looking to build something like this - rings higher if you can. You want them to high that you have to jump to grab them in an ideal world. With enough clearance for handstands.

@isop777 Fantastic! I've been training it and I'm glad to see that I'm on step 6/7! Just one more year or so! Inspiration!

@smheelen It seems Jackie Chan did comedy later on because that's what the market wanted, but he had serious skills. Supposedly he spent 1 hour/day in handstand/inverted. Rumble in the Bronx had a good clip...
