I'll post as I find more inspiring or awesome calisthenics videos. Hoxy how about making your own? Like best of 2011?

manage to do 1 time muscle up today. The problem with me is in the dip position where you push your body up. My right arm is not strong enough. Its weird because i am right handed. But still manage to do full muscle up. Try to do 2nd muscle up, no more energy. so fast energy finish. need to eat more carb or what .....

thank you,

at first i tot muscle up is easy after watching the muscle up tutorial. My first time trying muscle up is after i completed my bodybuilding routine, chest and tricep day. I tried but I fail. Its because i feel really tired and energy drained alot from the chest and tricep exercises.

then i trid to attemp muscle up on my back day before i do any exercises. So have alot of energy. I follow the muscle up tutorial with some stretching and 8 pull ups. Dont want to waste too much energy doing 12 pull ups. Afraid later i will fail doing muscle up so i jump to the pull up bar and when I swing back I pullup, but at the dip position I fail to lock and push up my body. Maybe im not ready at the 1st attempt. so I rest and analysed my last attemp. On the 2nd attemp, I successfully perform a full muscle up. yayyy ....

i think to do a muscle up, you have to have the explosiveness during the pull up. For beginner you need to kip yourself up so you can launch your body as high as you can to the lockup dip position and push your way up to complete a rep.

At one time, i think of doing what the girl in the video do. Pull up and lock your hand one at a time then push your body up

btw: im quite a short guy at 165cm I think and 65kg weight

hoxy, you are 1 strong and flexible dude... tried 1 arm pullup last Saturday with 190 pounds of bodyweight (gained a few pounds since last month), and i failed epicly , i start from dead hang, then up 1 rep, then down... i cant move anymore....

Does this mean you completed a single rep of one arm pull up?

Been doing elevated push ups for a few days, its becoming quite easy. Maybe elevated push up with a back pack on me filled with 10kg, slowly to 20kg.... then 30kg.
Not much ideas on progression so I will experiment with feet elevated weighted push ups soon.

Doing pull ups, push ups, dips and rows every hour is very punishing to the shoulders lol. Hopefully I can go though this early stage of strengthening the shoulders without injuring it. Need to be careful, else if I get shoulder tendonitis or screw up the rotators then gone case...

My shoulders got so sore that I have to return back to normal dips. Previously was attempting 1RM korean dips.

At this rate I'm not even sure when I can seriously start handstand training. Just tried handstand with wall assistance. Able to do a 3 half ROM headstand push up. I'm sure can get to a full headstand push up if I work on it more. Interesting beginning for me...

Yeah it seems to be just me. I never started progression from bench dip. Felt very un-natural for me.
Worked on push ups then straight away went to bodyweight dips.

Headstand push up(HeSPU) is easier than handstand push up(HSPU). The ROM is cut down a lot. You can refer to the video below.

Hey bros, how you guys managed to capture yourself a video or picture while working out?

Setting out timer?

Yeah timer with a surface or tripod will work. I usually get someone to take for me.

Managed one headstand push up(wall assisted). Shaky rep but ok la, considering today is my first time in my life to even go upside down.





Will reduce the angle and get closer to the wall in the future.

Elbows flared out too much also will try to fix that too.

You're too humble

Very rare to find BBer at that BW that can manage 1 rep of one arm chin/pull up. Quite EPIC

---

Today I tried to mix it up. Attempted towel pull up but failed. Not that I don't have the power pull myself up, but somehow I don't know how to go up.
Perhaps train to grip the towel and dead hang first.

Then feeling bored I tried towel assisted 1 arm chin up(2 fist). Both sides. Chin nearly cleared the bar. 95% yo. This can be my aim in the future.
4 fist? Half ROM only.
6 fist? I stare at the towel and bar only.

Ok enough fun and trial, back to my strict routine.
