@koinonia10 Hi i am new Plz do you have a routine you can recommend to me can muscles be build with bodyweits Help

@bibbigo Yeah, I try to not be too cynical about certified trainers, but the standards in the field are pretty much derelict. The force is simply directed the wrong way when you're standing - there's nothing directly resisting your rotations, the muscles actually fighting gravity are your elbow...

@bibbigo That's not the best way to train rotations - I assumed when I read the post that you were doing them lying on your side. It really should be done with a band or cable so that you actually are resisting force the whole time through the ROM. Sure you're feeling a contraction but it's...

@milliekeeling23 God's work m8

@eafy from my other response above

@erilynbmore WELP I spelled it wrong like 35 times, brb killing myself

@lase3 Yeah it's just exhaustion. There's no glaring weak point holding you back, nothing weird is happening with your scaps, your form is perfectly fine. In the 90* attempt, by the time you're in pressing position you've been holding a mega-intense isometric for several long seconds, so it's...

@bibbigo :O whaaat yeah dude do Face Pulls. They're just better - a compound, natural movement that heavily uses the external rotators but also trains scapular retraction control, thoracic extension, and if you do them strict there's a hollow body component. An elite prehab exercise. Do them in...

@bibbigo Doing work in hyperextension is highly underrated and effective. German hangs, reverse planks, thoracic bridges, etc. Once I started doing this kind of work regularly, my erstwhile constant struggle to stay on top of shoulder tweaks became a non-issue. I don't like Cubans as much as...

@spacct Rings are great but not mandatory, it’s ok if proper ring training doesn’t work out right now. I would suggest homemade PVC parallettes. They’ll last forever and cost about $20 total, I can give you the exact recipe. With those you can do all types of pike push-ups, super deep...

@loakeohna Unironically the best answer. It's very unlikely that the basement has enough overhead clearance to really use the rings properly. That's without even getting into how to mount them.
