My 2 Year Calisthenics Journey! Full Planche, Maltese, Victorian Cross

@dawn16 I'm guessing you don't train with the MED, right? How close to the Victorian are you, at the moment?

 

[dawn16]

@jermyn i dont train for the victorian, but i know the MED is a stupid way to train for skills or general weightlifting

 

[jermyn]

@dawn16 I can't say I agree with it being stupid. I've gotten stronger than I've ever been with it. Seems pretty effective to me.

@jermyn MM spitting the facts!

 

[dawn16]

@jermyn you have a reliable source on that apart from your own anecdotal experience or is it just "trust me bro"?

@thevisionary Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[thevisionary]

@kumari5050 Lmaooooo. Thanks for your insight.

@thevisionary

But OP likely could've achieved it at a minimum effective dose, too.

I've been thinking about testing this myself, personally. Not sure how I'd get at my weight but I'm interested in trying it!

 

[thevisionary]

@jermyn I'm sure it can't hurt to train for it regardless if you achieve this level of skill in it anyways!

 

[jermyn]

@thevisionary I'm thinking about adding it on my Front Lever Row work since it's there anyway. Basically start in a front lever, try to pull into a vic for a few seconds, then go into the FLR. I'll see how far it gets.

@jamesl That is what a human should look like.

Inspiring.
