@sannya /@rj786 You had written some very detailed posts on this topic a year ago here:

@jay5034 Steven has written extensively a lot this topic on his website, subr /r/overcominggravity and in his most recent book, Overcoming Tendonitis. Worth the time to do some reading.

@rj786 Agreed. Everyone needs to find something that works for them. In my case, two times, I followed Steven's recommended protocols for prehab and I was happy! I think the original article and info the OP provided could help some people, and could also be misleading and not a cure-all...

@deborah123 The isolation exercises at high volume, low weight, and slow eccentrics have helped me on two separate occasions. That's all credit to you! Thanks.

@sannya I would be interested to hear what Steven /@deborah123 things of this given his expertise and background.

@jellybug78 Cool! You better hurry, there's apparently some competition for these wall charts! ha-ha

@jellybug78 Ah, okay. On the mobile it was hard to see it all. Good job!

@jellybug78 Nice visual. Maybe give credit or cite the OG2 charts since those are copyrighted.... The Core section is weak (ha - pun intended). You could consider expanding this if you wanted to show more in this area. Here are my suggestions for starters: Dragon Flag progressions: Dragon...

@triumphant8891 Cool. Are you also doing weighted pull-ups now too? Have you done any tests to see sets and reps and at what weight ...?

@betaninja I took complete body measurements similar to what the OP indicated (1-2 more?) and did a DEXA scan before my latest gain and strength cycle. My plan is to follow up after the training block with after measurements and another DEXA scan. Then I hope to repeat this for each quarterly...

@00_mary You have accomplished a lot so far. I think you should focus on straight-arms at all times. Try it again on full rest and focus specifically about keeping those arms straight and locked out. I don't know if that is a limitation of your SA strength or merely mental. Try it and...

@johm Someday ... maybe I'll try next year. I haven't tried heavy weighted pull-ups in a while - i.e. over 120lbs/55.5kg. After a hiatus and training, I hope to smash my weighted pull-up PR of +128lbs by end of 2019! Focusing on training for the rest of 2019, and have an idea to get my iron...

@00_mary Very nice effort and strength! Can you do the previous progression, the straddle FL, without piking and straight arms? You focus on straight arms at all times during any FL progression, and the piking is just going to be a limitation of tension and overall strength. Some observations...

@button Good write-up. For a tall person your front lever efforts are noteworthy. If you want some help with that you can post a form check - I noticed 3 things you can improve from your video - so working on form and your strength weaknesses will help you get straight body - no poking or...

@johm Nope. Never was on my list of goals and unless I condition the elbow and tendons for it I would not want to risk injury in a strength test which would set me back on other skills and training. I guess I could do an assisted OAC with a counterweight or a towel/rope like I've seen others...

@jermyn Right! I did up to a 1.84 x BW weighted pull-up and I doubt I can do a OAC. IN 2019 I hope to get closer to 1.9 x BW so we'll see ... That's at 154-160lbs BW.

@hannah97 One suggestion would be to relabel these skills and strength elements… Since many of those things are in fact strength elements and not skills. It was difficult to read on the mobile come out later on a bigger screen I’ll look this over carefully and provide any other feedback or...

@dinkold First ask yourself why you are getting a weighted vest and how you will use it (training for exercises) now and in the future. For some of many people a weighted vest is not the ideal piece of equipment. I own a KENSUI Fitness EZ-VEST MAX, good up to 220lbs. But there is a practical...

@orthodoxcrusaderuk LOL. That made me laugh! Cheers! Not to bad for an old guy, huh?

@shelbycmr I bought rings when I turned 47 y/o with the goal of learning the front lever, back lever, etc. I did a wonky front lever in the first week for 1-2 seconds and then progressed fast. it took 4 months to get up to a 10 sec front lever. My first front lever - after a few training...
