Hey all,
Just got word that I might be overseas for a whole month...
Does not seem that I will have access to a gym as of now..
Since I do mainly Bodyweight Im not that concerned as all I need is a jump rope and a pullup bar.
The one thing I need is dumbells/kettlebells for accessory work...
Hey all,
I'm coming back to lifting after a couple of months of break due to health problems I encountered. I started doing a 5x5 Linear Progression program to increase my strength with the basic movements (squat, bench, deadlift, row, overhead press) back to my previous levels.
But with the...
Anyone know if Pavel has any non-minimalistic Bodyweight reccomendations?
I mastered the Naked Warrior and I want a more comprehensive Bodyweight program.
Im a Kavadlo Bros/Convict conditioning guy but, as a Pavel fanatic ,I want to know his opinions on Calithstenics
Thanks
Not that hard-living type you probably expect - let me provide some background.
I live in a rural area, so there is a lot of manual work to do during late spring, summer and early autumn, even without my ambitious quest.
Moreover, I am going to build a house for me and my growing family. In...
Going on vacation, won’t have my kettlebells for two weeks. Do you all usually stick to Naked Warrior if all you have is your bodyweight, or is there something else you do? Just looking to maintain my strength, maybe lose some body fat.
I've read NW and love the difference pistols and OAPUs have made to my strength. I've been doing GTG for both for the past 6 weeks and have reached a comfortable 2x5 (each leg) on pistols and can do a single set of 4 on OPAUs.
My max on OPAUs is probably a single set of 5. I've been upping...
My goal with push-ups is to gain reps and build muscular endurance, and while I've found success with greasing the groove, I have abandoned bench pressing so it doesn't interfere with my recovery. But I'd love to increase my strength on the bench press.
Pavel Tsatsouline recommends only...
Hello,
Looking for some assistance structuring a program. I’m a LEO/SWAT operator with variable work schedule. I train BJJ 2-3 times per week. Looking to add strength training to my schedule. Issues I have is that some weeks I have access to a gym several times per week and other weeks I’m...
Howdy! So I think I've identified that my back does not seem to respond to high-volume work.
I'm 15 years old for the 25th time, doing S&S + some calisthenics on top of kung fu/MMA. I was inspired by a post which involved what the commenter called 'Easy Strength Lite' (which I cannot find...
Hi there folks,
Has anyone felt list their arm is going numb (my left) when running...and this numbness is tied to pull-ups I have been doing...arm numbness starts at about elbow crease and tends to tingle fingers below...After running with extended arm, blow flow comes in and all is...
Ever since reading the book "Building the Gymnastic Body" I was amazed at the claims by the author. The book was written by a gymnastics coach by the name of Christopher Sommer. He stated that one of his students deadlifted 181kg/400lbs on his first attempt. The most impressive thing is that the...
Hello,
Newly certified instructor and relatively new to kettlebell training and StrongFirst. I wish I would have found this site in 2003 when I started training, but alas, I am here now!
Background:
At 12 years old I would ride the bus to Walmart after school each day where I wait for my mom...
Hi Everyone,
Firstly, I just want to thank everyone who has contributed to this forum, it's been such a valuable resource for me whilst I've been training and I really value all of the information that has been broadcasted.
I'm currently training towards what I imagine is a rather common goal...
Hello Everyone. I have been training calisthenics for two years, and in the process I have noticed that there is correlation between weighted pullup maxes and front lever progressions. Therefore, I have decided to do a mathematics modelling project on weighted pullup to front lever progression...
Hi,
Just got into fitness and strength bodyweight. Discovered GTG, now I can only do two pushups and 6 inverted rows Max test on Sunday. So for 5 days this week shall I do 8 rounds daily of both 1 push up and 3 rows untill Friday, then take two days off max test again on Sunday and then see my...
I was reviewing the Tactical Pullup Standard:
I notice in my own Pullups that I'm lacking the "last 5%" to get my upper chest touching the bar on the top of the Pullup. As a regular deskworker the muscles in my back are probably to weak. Are there support exercise I can do, e.g. some kind of...
Howdy y'all! Been here forever, but haven't posted in...well, forever.
I fell down the rabbit hole of wanting to do EVERYTHING AT ELITE LEVEL!!! Went looking for how to combine gymnastics and power lifting and olympic lifting and parkour and cobblery and 19th Planet Shadow Kung Fu MMA, etc...
Hi guys! I’ve not posted on the forums for a month or two now so I hope everybody’s all good first and foremost!
I have recently looked through the NW book for the first time and I am looking at incorporating it into my training week. However, as effective as GTG is, I just don’t have the time...
