@button Firstly congrats! You've done truly amazing and its really inspiring to know that progress is possible even with a loose training regime.
I loved your post as you have a full breakdown of everything and you've been up front about what's you've gotten up to. It's for sure working and you should definitely be proud.
This has also inspired me to keep pushing because (even though you're at a pretty advanced fitness stage imo) you can see the struggle and frustration when trying to compete your exercises. Enough videos I've seen make it look easy and unachievable but this has made people like yourself seem more human
Thanks again for the post, keep up the great work!
@flairy I don't do much if any abb work, but the front lever is just basically a harder version of a dragon flag, considered the hardest abb exercise so front lever training helped me for sure.
@flairy Every day is an abs day. Whatever you do, there's trunk muscles involved. Of course, we're talking compound bodyweight training, not isolated dumbbell work. You most certainly can target abs specifically with specific exercises like leg raises with back against the wall, but overall, abs get plenty of indirect work in all levers work, handstand, pulling, pushing, even leg exercises.
@flairy It depends on how advanced your workout is. If you're not doing any skill work and you're only doing push ups and pull ups, working on your core specifically can help you improve and get more advanced skills. But if you're already working levers, handstands and planche holds you're probably, adequately working out your core.
@button What an incredible showing of progress, in depth and detailed, true inspiration for anyone here, saving this article 100%, i may do weighted routines only but going to bring some of your techniques into my own plan!
@button was this a routine you made and tailored to yourself or did you follow a guide?
Currently i do a standard "arm day" "leg day" "back, shoulders and chest day" system, with exercises in each day that i feel are most appropriate, so basically my own plan
. Squatty might be the next bathroom upgrade though, I've only heard good things.
