I have just started rings and want to master the ring support as a one of the basics. I understand that the arms are to be locked, but i want to make sure i'm not doing that wrong. Is the lockout supposed to be to the extent that the triceps are doing zero work, and it's all bone to bone lockout with biceps stretched to the point where it is almost painful at the biceps insertion? When i do this, after stopping, it is almost difficult to bend my arms. They feel slightly cramped at the elbow when bending. Another thing i have read is that when doing the support holds, particularly RTO holds, that the forearm should not touch the rings. Is that correct? Also, some have said that proper RTO hold is for rings to be fully at 90 degrees, inline with the body. I can almost get there, but I will need a lot of work to get fully to 90 degrees. Please address these questions. I don't want to start out wrong by giving myself too much leeway in form.
Hey mate, without a doubt its the amount of movement occurring through out your scapthoracic joint. Notice how you have to reset position every rep. I'd drop the weight down till you can hold the scaps in the position you want through the entire range of the movement. maybe doing some strict lower lat activation/serratus focused dips before hand may help. PS, exercise physiologist here and fellow calisthenics guy.
What about arms, you didn’t provide much tips regarding them. Should we run with hands up?- (that feels weird) Should we lift them in last moment? (I feel like that screws my momentum) Please do at least some short to answer this ??
I have a a aluminum sheet ceiling house, cause its cheaper here in Central America, than a concrete one. So I guess I can just hang them from the support grids.
This is diamond content!... so many youtubers and full planchers do not think entirely about what is actually required - the planche requires full body tension - glutes, legs and core bracing/ tension has gotta be maxed...
Hey Tyson, thank you for filming this video, it was useful because I'm also struggling from some left shoulder pain when doing handstand push-ups. I also wanted to point out that only 1 of the 4 links you've put in your description is working, have a great day!
I just got a amber alert for this dudes missing chromosome cuz what the fuck did I just watch this is special ed activity taken to a whole nother level
Tree branches can be rotted and it's hard/impossible to test. The best structure by far, if it's high enough, are swings. Because they're braced well. But often the swings are mounted too close together. You can move them to each side of course. Another option is a soccer goal post, not made out of thin, light aluminum. The newer ones tend to be aluminum so they can be wheeled around. Another one is a public gazebo or covered picnic area if they have exposed beams or bars you can use. It helps to place the straps as close to one end as possible. You could have done that with the grand stand structure which was nice and high. That was quite a find actually. Too bad for the uneven ground!
PERFECT. I have seen Yuri do this on workshops and in my own home. He has the best cold flexibility of any adult male I have ever seen. Yuri is an excellent teacher. "Resistance is futile."
Anyone who states I did in X time isn't worth listening to in Calisthenics because anyone who is a serious and committed Calisthenics trainer themselves knows its not about that and that the mentality should never be trying to do things in X days, simply achieving them through maximum dedication and consistency. Every body is different and that counts double when building muscle for planche, muscle, tendons, it all takes time.
Very fitting for planche training and yes, I think we all do secretly wish sometimes we had an excuse for the long painful plateaus and miserable push sessions which come with planche training. Self training is like, yes better, yes better, nooooo im stuck, omg nothing works, damn I found the secret, yes better yes better, noooooo ill never do it, yes better, nooo ill never do it, haha found the final tip, noooooo i still cant get past tuck. And the sad part is after a while we start to enjoy this cycle of pain and misery and the teeny tiny steps forward to planch become "achievement".
