@giangnt Usually when people categorize an exercise as a pull or a push, their doing so based on whether it works either triceps/pecs/front delts as a push or lats/rear delts/mid traps/biceps as a pull A back lever is IMHO a horizontal push in the same way that a planche is. To resist gravity...

@abby564 Its one of the first moves learned in ring gymnastics, and its not as hard as you would think when trained properly.

@dawn16 Maybe a rock climber. I heard a lot of them are really skilled in unilateral pulling but may not do any bilateral pulling. Just a guess though, I may be wrong.

@cbsmel I never did either. I just said that one shouldn't value anecdotes over science and nothing more.

@cbsmel yet in your previous comment you said... Pretty contradictory. Just because you don't understand the comment doesn't mean that the comment doesn't make sense. You don't have too, but if solid scientific evidence (not pseudoscience or bad studies) say that something else is...

@cbsmel You cant cherry pick which subjects you apply science to. Science must be intimately involved in how you work out for optimal training. To disregard the science of exercise is to open the door for ineffective training.

@cbsmel I agree that going by how you feel is importiant, but part of your post is like saying "who cares what the studies say on global warming. All I know is that its cold outside right now!" Don't disregard scientific literature, when used properly its the highest quality of information you...

@dawn16 Lol everytime you make a post it's always an attack. Like you're crazy aggressive with everything you comment and it makes you come across really harsh.

@kingdomkings If you think that guy is just "excited to defend their point" you must be new here.

@dawn16 Man you are just the most pedantic poster on this entire sub arent you.

@evgenij Depends upon how many quality sets of each. If you plank for 5 minutes, but it then diminishes the subsequent sets to let's say 4 and 3 minutes then doing less (2.5) but for more sets is better. But if you can do 5 for 3 sets. Go for it. But for visible abs I'd do a movement that...

@zondaar39 Pretty much. Just because you have a lot of practice at hanging leg raises doesn't mean you have a lot of practice at planking. Granted, they are both ab flexion exercises, but they are still different movements. Also GTG means Grease the Groove and OAC means One Arm Chin-up

@zondaar39 You have to remember, strength and endurance are specific to the exercise. This is for neurological reasons. If I practice bench pressing for multiple years then i'm going to get really good at bench pressing, but it doesn't mean that I have the neuromuscular skill required to...
