Bodyweight ARTICLES

[Karen Smith]

Hi Bodyweight Forum Enthusiast and Instructors/Coaches.

Hope you are all doing wonderful. I wanted to stop by and ask what you all are interested in reading. I am adding to my list of articles to getting writing and catch up on some deadlines.

Look forward to hearing from you all here.

Happy Friday.

Hello,

@Karen Smith
I would love to see some stuff about the straddle planche.

Otherwise, I already thank you for all your past articles !

Kind regards,

Pet'

I'd like to hear a bit more about high repetition body weight exercises, in the vein of Strength in Numbers: A Case for Push-up Endurance Training.

Also, I really appreciate your videos helping me on my pistol/OAPU training as well as the video you made for SLDL. All wonderful.

 

[Maine-ah KB]

I'm actually curious about the your thoughts on handstands as part of training. Freestanding, handstand push-ups, against the wall, etc. any handstand related topic in its relationship to strength training.

Would love to see a focussed article on the hollow position and how it applies to body weight and even non-body weight exercises.

 

[Anna C]

Yes, and @Karen Smith Adding to hollow position, I remember how you taught "clearing hollow" in between exercises. The better I get at working hollow, the more I appreciate that aspect. As you said, "you don't want to live in hollow."

 

[IonRod]

I would also like to hear thoughts on freestanding handstands, especially their aspects that compliment SF philosphy.

 

[DavThew]

Not sure it's in the SFB curiculum but something around use of olympic rings would be interesting.

Also dips - again might not be in the SFB wheelehouse.

Karen,

first of all: thanks a lot for all the information you already provided!

My suggestion: high rep, low intensity work (like @Jak Nieuwenhuis already suggested).

 

[Antti]

I'm interested in jumping. It's a really fundamental movement and about the most powerful movement a human can do. There's a lot of bits and pieces about it around training but I'd like to read a comprehensive piece about it.

 

[Augustus F-N]

Hello,

Something on front levers and planches would interest me!

And to echo the others, thanks for all the articles you have already done.

 

[Machete]

A Manna breakdown would be most welcome. We have the Pike portion pretty much covered with the HLR series, but I'm at a loss for progressions on the required shoulder extension.

 

[Oscar]

I would be interested in ideas to put together kettlebell and bodyweight programs.

Thanks for asking by the way, and also thanks for the articles written so far!

@Karen Smith,
First
Thanks for all you article so far, and for you interest in our opinion as to what to do next.

I'll put my vote for jumping / bodyweight ballistics as well

 

[Pavel Macek]

SFB Prep Guide - similar to successful @Brett Jones 's SFGI & SFGII Prep Guides.

Thank you for all the great articles and videos, @Karen Smith .

 

[mark reinke]

I would love to see some elaboration on the subtleties of trunk, rib and pelvic position during the HLR regressions

 

[Karen Smith]

wow - thank you guys.
This give me tons to add to my list.

What about some articles for newbies? Things like, what to start out with, maybe a short routine or two to whet the appetites of those looking to supplement their current routine, or even switch altogether? I know many in here already know loads about BW exercises, but some of us don't. For example, the SLDL was completely foreign to me. After seeing @Karen Smith perform them in a video, I understood them more.

I guess, to me, there is more reading for S&S than BW work. I know the concept is simple, but some guidance from those more experienced might be helpful.
