    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @jun_za No. I do them standing up, so the picture in the original Post shows the movement and ROM (somewhat). Both exercises (horizontal and vertical) were shown to me by someone who is a certified trainer but I agree that doesn't make that person the authority on such things. That why I've...

    A possible DIY solution for hanging gymnastics rings from a too-low ceiling

    @mydavesat Have you worked with elements that use RTO, or transitions where the rings are moving around, e.g. iron cross progressions... ? Shorter straps vs. longer straps will feel different just like cables with swivels vs. typical 1.5in wife straps feel different.

    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @rj786 Only at the end of ROM for external rotation when my arm is at 180 deg or past that at say 210 deg. I feel contraction and tension in the shoulder and also in the scapula and/or other back muscles. I consider this quick and easy takes less than 1 minutes to do 20 reps on each side in...

    A possible DIY solution for hanging gymnastics rings from a too-low ceiling

    @mydavesat A few observations: This is the official FIG rings frame standard specifications. This means 3m/9.85ft from the ring attachment point to the bottom of the rings. Then they will be another 2.8m/9.2ft over the mat. I don't know what you mean by 3m in this context, did you mean...

    How are you building and increasing connective tissue (e.g. wrists and elbow)?

    @latestnews I just assumed the BWF Glossary included these, but I now see it doesn't. I'll make a request to the Mods to review and update this, with a list of my suggestions. Maybe I'll just make a new post to collect the community's input instead too. SAS = Straight Arm Strength BAS = Bent...

    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @jun_za I've never done face pulls, so I will need to experiment or replace some of my exercises to work muscles differently. Thanks. I also do German Hangs, and Skin the Cat on the rings and even monkey bars which are good shoulder conditioning too. Agreed. I do them with the PVC pipe...

    @hannah97 Good luck to you. Looking at the picture reminded me of the time I moved my entertainment center with a TV and lots of electronics inside and behind it there were wires and cables everywhere entangled in a web of knots. :-O

    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    At the start of every training session, I do a lot of shoulder warm-up and prep with many exercises. I wanted to start a discussion specifically about internal and external rotation to share what I do and to find out what others do. I think my shoulder routine, which is self-developed, is due...

    How are you building and increasing connective tissue (e.g. wrists and elbow)?

    I know diet and nutrition can help promote connective tissues growth, and I've read bone broth, having enough protein, and other foods may contribute to connective tissue. However, I am more interested in exercises, conditioning, and prehab that people are doing to aid or promote connective...

    Bodyweight Skill Tree

    @giangnt Very cool, I was unaware of that and have never seen that. Are you aware of any examples you can share? To see a one arm variation of a proper full planche seems to rare, like finding a unicorn in the garden. There was someone posting a couple of months ago asking about a Victorian...

    Calisthenics Intermediate Hypertrophy Program using Dr. Mike Israetel's Volume Guidelines

    @anita50 For hypertrophy based routines and programming I aim for a full 4 secs eccentric for a pull-up since it has about 180 deg range of motion. For a push-up, Adv Tuck FL Row, et al which has about 90 deg range of motion, I do 2 sec eccentric. For strength training it is more explosive...
