@christianityisgreat94 I am so jealous of you! That set up looks nice and compact, something I'd really like to have in my studio apartment. Do you happen to have the schematics for it? Also, how much did it cost in material to make?

@groo101 Thanks! And here you go.
I just hope you can read my father's handwriting. We changed the diagonal support holds a little bit, so that they fit tightly to the bottom rectangle.
All in all it cost about 145€ without the metal bar which I had lying around at home.

@groo101 Since I began BWF in September I had a 7 week layoff due to a shoulder stabilisation op. I weighed 91.2kg.
It is now January. 12 weeks since my op.

@groo101 It was winter break from school for us here, and boy did i take that break seriously. 20 days of constant eating, sleeping, and watching something.
However, i got off my lazy bum and convinced myself to do some exercising. (little over 2 months of bwf training)
New PBs:
12+ explosive strict pullups
73 pushups in one go
10+ seconds of L-sit hold
Guess what hapenned after this? Just as my leg injury started healing, the pullup bar untightened itself, and bam, i messed up my kneecap again and i can barely walk.

@asotoskori Damn, do you have one of those pullup bars that are screwed into the door frame or does it untwist like a tension rod to hold itself in place? That's some scary stuff, but you've still made great progress. There's nothing better than going back to school or place of work feeling stronger and feeling swole.

@groo101 It untwists unfortunately. Thats why i fell from it, and boy did it hurt. Same injury, same spot, same everything. It is really frustrating man, you kind of loose motivation after stuff like this.
Btw, the closest workout park is 40 min with bus away from me. The weather is below 0C, and ive gotten fatter during this break. Im kinda feeling stronger because of the progress, but feeling worse overall.

@asotoskori Haha tell me about it. I primarily do my workouts at home for the same reason. I'm too lazy to venture out to the nearest park with bars, which is quite some distance from me. Also, I live in Philadelphia and right now the weather is just too cold for me to work out in. Perhaps look at other things to work into when the kneecaps start feeling better? For instance, moving past your regular form pushups toward handstand pushup progressions?

@asotoskori Handstands are definitely a goal you can master this year with appropriate commitment, discipline, and guidance. I'd recommend Dan Jeong's comprehensive handstand tutorial as well as Emmet's Anatomy of a Handstand video. Keep us posted on your progress with this!
My hardest skill I can do right now are probably my straddle planche kickouts.

@chadwick90 Damn Mike, that was clean as hell. I've still yet to have time to take the capoeira class we offer at my gym, but I talk to the teacher all the time. You're a huge inspiration for my aspiration to become the Asian Eddie Gordo.
