@cloudy He’s wrong. One reason I can see why he calls it a mistake is because many people use explosiveness from the bottom position to get to the top. However, it is still possible to get the head (and chest) over the bar. It is only more difficult because of the shortened position of the...

@oliver19 In my experience, I find most of the “big muscle building” things arrive from working with rings and not necessarily straight arm skills. Ofc it’s a different matter if it’s about sa skills on rings. That adds further intensity to the subject.

@warrenmjones85 Yeah, that’s not a beginner routine in the sense that it assumes you can handle tuck planche easily (reference how easy burpees are when used in circuits). Circuits are good for building endurance and some hypertrophy which I can see is reflected in the 777 method that he uses...

@warrenmjones85 Depends. Idk Valentin’s programming. I’d need to see it to evaluate it. I’m sure he has a reason for such volume. It’s also possible that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’m assuming you meant 35 sets over a week of training with 3-5x frequency. That’s doable, maybe not...

@follower_of_god So I can’t tell by the angle but it looks like your back is protruding somehow in that handstand pushup. Either you’re very jacked or you’re retracting. Your handstand form can be improved but you’re at a good level right now.

@rightway16 Interesting how endurance translates into absolute strength

@cbsmel Your points are highly simplistic and generalized. I’ll just put a summary here of the abstracts if anyone doesn’t wants at tldr. When you lower the weight of a movement, of course you will be able to do more compared to a guy who’s doing a one rep max. This is has to do with men...

@brohoho 30 x 5 is unoptimal. 30 x 10 is unoptimal. In the case that either are optimal, then you’re training too much. Reps should be around 80% of your pr. Having 30 sets is just ridiculous. At most is 10 sets with for properly managed fatigue. Yeah, you can bust your body up in one day—but...

@raykay Man, let me go bust out a maltese real quick! And while I’m at it, I’ll go sleep in an iron cross! I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw “fast progress.” On that note, this is great information for beginners getting into exercise. Isometrics will provide a surface to clear up weak...
