@wally1648 Watching the video again, it does look like you're butt winking a bit. This can be a sign that you're not bracing properly and your trunk is losing rigidity at the bottom. Good video covering it:

@wally1648 Although you generally do want to keep a flat back for most exercises, rounding is dangerous precisely because we don’t typically strengthen in that range of motion, where is where Jefferson curls come in. You can start with just enough to give you a good stretch, but they feel great...

@wally1648 Your form is actually pretty great. Bar placement is correct, elbow angle stays constant, trunk is upright, depth is good. I’d say to keep your gaze either forward or slightly upwards; this will cue you to lead with your chest and prevent caving in. A belt and exercises to strengthen...

@calijohn007 https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson61.htm Keep in mind bodybuilding isn’t the same as general fitness, weightlifting, or other athletic modalities. Bodybuilding is specifically about aesthetics. And even if you did count other fitness modalities, the Greeks were rough...

@calijohn007 You’d be wrong. The Greeks did not train for aesthetics.

@conductornano East and Southeast Asians are some of the strongest people on the planet pound for pound. See Olympic weightlifting competitions. Also not an excuse! And yes, although physical fitness has been a part of many ancient cultures, bodybuilding and weightlifting were most widespread...

@conductornano India is the birthplace of bodybuilding. Genetics is not an excuse.

@mac64 25.15 nFFMI @ 165lb 5’5, 17 years of training. Guesstimating 12% BF. Barely made the cut!

@freethinker711 Oh this is interesting. I get these spasms all the time after hard workouts, sometimes lasting days. Maybe I need to try magnesium.

@yunderdahl0101 I really think it's a mental issue with muscle-ups, at least if you've got the requisite strength, meaning once you've felt yourself going up once, your body will know what to do to replicate that motion. I've coached a few people to their first muscle up--granted, they were all...

@sprinkle Calisthenics is so weird. I was able to learn the muscle-up within an hour with a decent strength base, and did one-arm pushups with each side on my very first attempt last week. On the other hand, I have been trying to learn a basic handstand hold for a year now.
