@john0733 Lucky me, the guy whose whole workout is just pullups throughout the day, and walking/biking as my commute.

@hailsatan420 On the "bang out" bit - I ofc meant, "progess into them properly, working up in volume, etc." Just not to look at dips too hard right now, and make pushups my main pushing movement for a while. But I appreciate you looking out for me!

@hailsatan420 So basically, bang out tons of pushups for now, and work on supporting yourself in a variety of positions in the dip before going through and actually dipping.

@hailsatan420 Frankly, I'm not interested in the bench at all. For weights, it's overhead or nothing for me. Not gonna be competing in powerlifting, so it's less about the big 3 for me. Pushups are kinda having a renaissance for me, here - for years I've mentally tucked them away as being too...

@nytteni Bruh!

@kywy Yeah been thinking of eventually paying that dude. I say that having no clue about his rates or how far you can get with his free material.

@esperanza20 I was thinking of just being not too strict with it, in the sense that I'd start at a relatively easy weight in an OHP workout, and strict press it. Once I got to a weight I wasn't able to strict press for more than a couple weights, then it'd become a push press. Kinda two birds...

@snorks4lyfe I love the vibe of your advice, but do me a favor - make it a bit more specific? My brain-dead ass doesn't know what to do with this.

@meka54 That's an interesting point, never considered it.

Read that dips are actually pretty rough on the shoulders, and to be straight-up avoided if you're into throwing sports - I'd like to get into some recreational throwing, from SCA thrown weapons to Highland Games-type stuff. Fine, pushups. But isn't bench press notorious as a shoulder wrecker...

@missmariemonique So sounds like I'll start with following this, and build up to doing tons of negatives as well as rows.

@sarangapani Nice. Dunno about inverted rows, but yeah sounds like my calisthenics park workouts will be lots of hanging, brachiation, and rows. Throughout the day at home, spam cable work.

@godskeyholder4u Can you use a towel instead of the flexbar, or something? Everyone keeps telling me to buy things and spend money on a PT, when I'm already couchsurfing to survive right now.

@emyrs How'd you shake it?

@dawn16 Hehe fair

@dawn16 So why was the whole internet harping on making sure to do it, to get the most outta your pulling?

@cmfsd Once it's healed, though, back to ring-finger-pulling?

@cmfsd Wasn't everyone's advice to pull through the ring finger in order to recruit the most pulling?

Kinda a precarious financial situation these days, and schedule's consequently hectic - balancing between trying not to end up homeless, and preparing myself for that worst-case scenario. So I told myself while handling that, just work pullup negatives throughout the day to get pullups back, at...
