I can understand the frustration over the forearms, but at least you worked them to the maximum today, if you rest, they should come back stronger. I get strange weaknesses from time to time for no apparent reason too
great session Paul . Pour progresser sur tes avants bras , travaille le grip , juste de suspendre a la barre 30 secondes / 1 mn . Australians pulls ups good exercice for back . When I do pulls ups , how many sets do you do ? Take a rest between sets , pulls ups consume a lot of energy
Yes, dead hangs very beneficial. For some reason, my grip was very tired yesterday. I do 4 sets and I rest 3 minutes between sets. I might need more rest! Merci beaucoup Éric!
It's piked but not overhead pressing? Definitely loading the upper chest which is your aim but not really becoming an overhead press movement? Also getting the stretch and depth
@@HybridGym truth. And as I was kind of alluding to in the VO, its working, so why am I complaining??? Just because it looks silly to me, lol. Good news is, definitely sore in the upper chest this morning. Hope you're having a good day brother!
I've seen this technique used in a lot of different arts. In fact, at that conference I was telling you about, two different kung fu dudes presented basically the same thing.
Yes in wing chun it's called jut sau or biu sau that high intercept depending if it's more block/jut, or strike/biu I'd say. And the low strike is a spade hand can't remember the 'cantonese'
@HybridGym when things are effective, you see them everywhere in different cultures called different things. But it's all the same basic body language.
@@PaulfromOregonabsolutely. The only thing possibly more unique to wing chun is sticking hands, which is better imo than taichi pushing hands as it includes strikes and energy rather than just energy, with pseudo wrestling which is how I encountered it, still enjoyed it but, less valuable in my experience
@HybridGym so this drill here is used in our training in a similar way. Feeling energy and trying to successfully break the Sagang Labo into something else, like joint locks or throws. It's a lot of fun. I'm going to teaching our group while our Guro is in the Philippines and I'll try and get some video to show.
This was a nice looking session, despite the lunges freaking you out. I hear ya. There is a lot of mental in all this. You could practice bailing on both with an empty bar, just to feel out how it might work.
Thanks Oo, I always appreciate you stopping by and dropping some wisdom. You're one of the guys that inspired me to take this route, so salute to you brother. Hope all is well!
@@HybridGym they're feeling like a movement that I can trust myself in finally. I know the form that works for me and I can consistently execute. Excited to add weight.
I like the way you get a full set in but also have micro goals within the set, dropping from false to regular, and trying to activate the lats and control outward rings. Sounds like deliberate practice 👌with the false, its still catches me by surprise when i do slightly too much and go from sore wrist to actual tear, i wonder if they should be filed down smooth and moisturised between sessions
Having been a laborer most of my life I like to sand calluses down just enough that they don't catch and tear. A smooth transition works best for me. Isn't that what we always want, a smooth transition? That's cool that my ideas for the pulls are coinciding with the deliberate practice rubric. I have s problem slipping out of false grip in a dead hang, so I'm really trying to work that. I have to put a tremendous amount of focus into my hands and it seriously fatigues me quickly. Ring rows, no problem, I can rock the FG all day. But the full body weight in a fully extended position is still challenging for me. Went to a seminar today with 10 different martial arts instructors given a half hour of time to present material. Like martials arts speed dating. My instructor was presenting and as usual I was his uke. It was fun, a Systema teacher presented which was silly, but still fun. Anyways, seemed like the kind of thing you might enjoy.
@@PaulfromOregonsounds fun! I think systema is a bit like taichi where their emphasis on relaxation has made them a joke to other styles, yet people say they hit really hard and I bet they can be as good as any other art. Not that I've encountered systema. I read a book about it and it had a suspect legend like origin story of Christianity and healing powers. Smooth rings transition is the ideal, in fact smooth rings in general is my aim, but it does take more energy I feel to remove the jarring, the jarring/pulsing/ boosting effect. Sometimes smooth is effortless though and I'm not sure why it's only sometimes. Most sessions for me are a mix of smooth then a bit jarred to get extra reps in. Thinking deliberate practice, perhaps we should have several micro goals per set, all sorts of micro and macro goals, and ideas of time frames and maybe even flow chart like progression plans, like if this happens move to A, this happens move to B. Also, if you see something in my videos that could be improved, let me know! I don't have anyone casting a critical eye on my rings, but having a teacher/coach or at least peer criticism is vital feedback
@@HybridGym well, I'll do what I can to scrutinize your rings, but I've pretty much learned from watching you. Kind of feels like the grasshopper telling the mountain to move. Ha. The Systema half hour was actually quite fun because he mostly had us pushing each other and flowing with the force which, as you mentioned, is very tai chi. The amount of people who couldn't flow with the concept was a bit surprising, but maybe not as over half the seminar was karate practitioners. I would say that their videos online make them a ripe target for ridicule, but the exercises presented in this seminar I could see the merit of. Regardless, I will not be training Systema anytime soon, lol.
@@PaulfromOregonego is a huge problem IMO in martial arts and probably in rings but i haven't known anyone IRL into rings so can't say. But in martial arts i found even though i racked up experience, my superiors really didn't want feedback on their teaching or techniques from anyone 'lower', even though my experiences differed from theirs. For instance, around 8 years into wing chun i started tai chi too, this really started flavouring my wing chun with a softer element that would often get the better of ny peers, but rather than us all look at what we might bring into wing chun, it was kind of frowned on and hushed up, i was a bit of an anomaly. Another guy was a doorman and was really good at dropping people, trips and sweeps, but we didn't use his skill, he was asked to stop. Ok, so we may have ended up a bit MMA or Jeet Kun Do, but it seemed a bit narrow minded to me. Also, we occasionally did ground fighting application which i enjoyed, i think it was usful and fun to train, but it was so rarely done where as we spent too much time on standing fighting application which i thought was less useful as artificial than quality sticking hands. Ground fighting might have been artificial too but to NOT go to ground was unrealistic thinking. My last few years in the club, i spent 90% of my time sticking hands with peers over a decade experience, as I thought that was the best use of my training time. The teachers weren't bad but i don't think they were open minded either.. Anyway, what i thought was, even if i have got more rings experience than you, you'll have your own insights and naturally more proficient areas, and you'll branch out differently as your interests diverge and can feedback your insights. Id like to think i can contain my ego enough to consider any feedback 😊 ideally
Check out Smashwerx. To increase pull ups he says, say your max is 9 reps. Start by doing 1st set of 9, 2nd set 4 minutes later, 3rd set 2 minutes after that, and 4th set another 2 minutes later. By the next day its likely you increase your max by 1 rep daily. Obviously other lifts may interfere with that if you're solely concentrated on your pull ups.
So false grip is a way of holding the rings or a bar that puts the weight on your wrist and gives you a few more inches of height when you do pullups. It's 100% mandatory for proper ring muscle ups and for slow bar muscle ups. The hand positions are slightly different between bar and rings, but the concept is the same. It also trains the forearms quite rigorously which I enjoy because I'm all about that Popeye physique. No worries my dude, I don't mind answering questions at all. All my best to you bro!
@@PaulfromOregon Oh is this your channel bro? Good stuff. I'm trying to make the same kind of channel. Mostly calisthenics and telling people to get off their butts.
Interesting your big slow reps and pauses in dips and not in lunges 😅 i was gonna mention your dip pauses but you did, i think and kind of pause, the muscles have to fire more to get out of that position again and it definitely takes a lot more effort. In the muscleups if i do a little hang pause i risk not getting the next rep, bouncing out of the hang gives a bonus bit of power
Hey! I did the lunges way slower!! I also figured out that if I go knees over toes I can get some good stretch in the quads. Definitely paid for that dip pause and stretch, not very deload worthy when I'm sore the next day, lol.
@@PaulfromOregonIt's an attribute I share trust me 😅 however, I'm reading a book on 'peak performance ' and learning about 'deliberate practice' as the method of choice in making gains across any area, I'm hoping to apply the knowledge to my sessions, in fact I'm trying it out most with cartwheels, I'm setting mini tasks, so today was the soft landing and micro pause in the middle, last time was just the pause, after a few sessions I'll try something like longer pause, or leg switching, that kind of thing. I used to just do cartwheels and hope for the best. I'm going away for a week in Cornwall haven't decided if I'm taking the rings yet as there's usually no easy tree to hang off, if not I'll spend more time on wheels
@@HybridGym deliberate practice yes, like deliberately practicing the skills you wish to utilize. Like sweep picking or drum rudiments. In regards to the cartwheels, it must be working because they're looking very smooth and intentional. Final takeaway? There are no trees in Cornwall, but plenty of small chickens.
Future humans will find this ruined steel shed in the undergrowth, finding rounded concrete they'll puzzle and debate what early man used them for, some will say wheels for their foot powered vehicles, some that it was currency, two stones being an average weeks pay
Have a good weekend of rest! I forgot my running shoes yesterday and had a nice session of slow paced cartwheels, bridges and foot movement instead, maybe you could have an equally relaxed session instead of intense
@@HybridGym now is that the English usage of the word "fit"? because if so, I'm more of a volleyball fan. If you mean they are in good shape, well, yeah. Lol. So many women I know who were involved in Ballet have foot issues because wtf is up with pointe shoes?
