I thought maybe using the wall to try change from crow and crow with one extended leg, by extend it to the wall, and then I won't need to hold it for long, what do you say

Bringing the shoulders back to rest on the wall is deceptively hard. I've been trying it the last few weeks, after seeing you do it on a different video, and still have a ways to go to make that happen.

Hey paul, love your videos. Recently started calisthenics at 39, so fun mixing this with kettlebells but I've noticed stiffness in my wrists. I'm guessing this is normal, but do you have any tips for wrist strength/mobility?

For HSPU I really like the position where you are back to wall one (or even 2 😊) leg touching the wall then lowering to the flor (HSPU eccentric). Saw that mentioned/practiced by you Paul also.

I used to have a basement full of Olympic weights, dumbbells, and a weight stack machine. I eventually got rid of all that equipment and now have a very simple setup. I have a wall and the floor. And, as Paul emphasized, if you aren’t interested in pulling exercises, that is all you need. I still have rings, a set of parallettes, a dip and pull-up tower; but, I do much of my pull-up exercise using a lat machine bar that is placed between the floor joists and isn’t even secured. I like the simplicity of bodyweight exercise and the ability to train anywhere. Good video, Paul with good recommendations.

Keep up the great work. Thank you very much. PS. I've been working with stuff from Simonster for a while as well. I'm Aussie as is he. Anyway mate. You follow many of the same methods.

Paul, I have a large back yard and am thinking about putting up a bar outside so I can use it in moderate weather along w⁸😮ith rings. My husband is real handy and could build it for me. Is this a good idea in your opinion? Any suggestion on designs, materials? I'm thinking large wooden posts, sunk in concrete, and make the bar/pipe adjustable height somehow. I need specs....ideas. Thanks.

i think it is important to mention that it is better to relate the absolute weights to body weight. i guess i could push out 100kg bench press but since i weigh 120 kg my push up performance is still way worse. same with pretty much verything else too. i am still not skilled/strong enough to experience myself but i expect this to be even more dramatic when it comes to height ;-)

I think this is amazing to see! I am 43, female and after multiple rounds with cancer in the last few years (with all that entails) and generally not being consistent with health and exercise (work, family, study, surgeries) this year I decided to start calisthenics. Ok, so it’s only been like two weeks because of the caveat to finish my degree first (last submission was 4 weeks ago), but I am so excited. Having just found your videos, it’s great to see that calisthenics is not just for the kids!! So thanks, I look forward to going through your back catalogue and putting together some sort of cohesive plan for myself!!

How often can you train handstands on top of regular workout? I do 2 pulls day, 2 push day for upper body training. Can I still train handstands on rest days? Or I can only do handstands on push day?

@@PaulTwyman do you even need it for calisthenics? I guess it would be good for more shoulder mobility? Finding a way to make it fun could help, like doing wheel press ups or trying this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--_G2F1DCUZI.htmlsi=XC9JXq97slMxPT2m - it's a different movement but might be a good way to unlock more shoulder mobility

@@PaulTwyman because you do a lot of straddle type movements, it might also be a good counter movement/stretch for your hip flexors.

@PaulTwyman
@PaulTwyman 2 дня назад
Create more space both with mobility and control. It means you are currently handstanding at your 1 rep max meaning your imbalances are showing. Same if you do 1 rep squat you will see where your body struggles. As your handstand and mobility increases the imbalances will visually reduce or disappear.
