@bibbigo As I mentioned elsewhere on this thread, isolation exercises worked best for me. There are two reasons: 1) Isolation lets you control resistance best. 2) Golfer's Elbow is super complex because the pain manifests at a common tendon. There are multiple motions that can trigger pain at...

@bibbigo Yup, thank to eshlow, I did the same thing: Isolation exercises which allowed me to directly control resistance. It made it super easy to judge that I was increasing resistance without causing aggravation. I find this thread a little bit tricky because they are recommending doing...

@clndr_ I too thought "wrong sub!" But the answers are super high quality (including yours.) This reminds me of the Naked Gun joke where someone is asking the shoe shiner for life advice. The next customer is a fireman who asks a deeply technical question about a warehouse fire... and gets an...

@youngchristianfemale Typically gtg doesnt have you going to failure as it adversely affects muscle control next set unless you rest 48 hours. Typical gtg would recommend 50% max so for you you would do sets of 1 or 2 every hour.

@suzz 0) put one foot on a tallish box, heel down and bend the knee. Your ankle will dorsiflex and you can adjust flex as desired. Try to flex as much as possible. 1) go into a deep two legged squat with heels down and stay there for a bit. 2) deep two legged squat heel down and shift weight...

@michaelphemo No you're right... I re-watched and explosive is in there. For some reason it just didn't sink in. For a sort of high level over view video, I think there's enough detail about explosive. Never-mind my comment on that one.

@michaelphemo The one thing this video is missing are counterweighted OACs. I found them incredibly useful if for only one reason: You can't cheat. With any two arm variant where the off arm is grabbing a static object, you can push/pull extra (even if you don't mean to) with your off arm...

@thomaslowrens I think it is possible but probably murder on the clavicle and shoulder. The way its cut makes me believe it was prolly not Tom Cruise doing the stunt but I have not found any info on that scene.

@thomaslowrens Tom Cruise's jumping shoulder flag to climb a pole to free his hands in Mission Impossible: That one with the female co star who is just as good an agent as he is and who shows no romantic interest

@bibbigo My PT had me doing them standing up but with band so there was resistance. When I could do that well I graduated to lying on my side with a weight. Again, the idea was to increase resistance.

@bibbigo Is there any resistance on exercise 1? Gravity would be pulling the plate down but you are moving it horizontally. Thus, the only force you're overcoming is inertia. But since you are moving slowly there's almost no inertia. If you're doing to do these, I'd do them lying on my side so...

@this_dot I have anecdotally noticed first rep velocity vs max reps correlation. However, I wonder if excessive velocity on early reps takes more or less energy than slower reps. The Russian guy who does 100 reps does them all with moderate velocity. In other words: are high velocity reps...

@steve774 That guy must have long arms in order to do a one armed straddle L-Sit! (Joke!)

@jun_za I recently posted about doing external rotation work in shoulder extended position: There's a variant to my video where you do it with a band between both wrists. The neat thing about external rotation in this position is that it uses the teres minor more than the infraspinatus. Most...

@juneie Real too if I remember. Actor trained to actually do it.

@amacias21 Thank you very much for your very thorough and interesting answers.

@amacias21 Sick work! You clearly do a lot of "skill" work. Do you consciously divide out strength work from skill work to keep from overtraining? How about flexibility? What frequency do you do skills, flexibility, and strength? Also does your school have a dietitian? Do you actually track...

@jcob You can do negatives with a counterweight. It's tricky especially if you are holding the counterweight rope in your off hand but its how I learned to do it. Static line from REI or other rock climbing store. And watch alex puccio doing oap on youtube.
