What's your height? I'm around 165cm with 49kg bw, and your strength are miles away from me man. When you do your exercise in fasting month? Currently trying to do the push up variation and improve my pull up.

My history are 44kg, bulk to 54kg with Ripptoes' Starting Strength and during Puasa last year my weight dropped 'til 48~kg.

@hoxy

I tried around half and hour before iftar and its killing me. Will try around 1-2hours after iftar tonight. Feels like I'm going to have a fever, would want to sweats more.

I'm not sure I've mastered anything on the push up lol. Trying the different feeling of closer hands, wide legs, closer legs thingy first. Tried diamond hands and close legs few days back, I can hardly do two reps. Damn sad. If you need to know, I hardly bench a 50kg for 5 reps the last time I've been to the gym. Pull up however, I am improving on the reps, currently be able to do around 5 reps deadhang.

Supersetted push up, squat and hammer curls just now. Oh God how that's tiring! Fyi, my stamina is like 1% only.

Hoxy, that video of yours should be in Challenges thread aswell.

NICE on the diamond push up! Been testing it before, but I hear popping sound on my right risk. Don't dare do it again. Will just try something else for push up for tonight.

I really afraid of injuries, feels really bad when read on someone's injury history. Sorry to hear that cyloh, hope everything good soon.

Did I just typed "right risk" ? LOL I meant right wrist. Main taip je bunyi lebih kurang.

Bloody hell video.

After seeing these videos and especially the last video, tried doing backbend, then I realised what this is all about for me. Having the power to fully control your body, stabilize them, and improve strength. I have a hard time trusting myself, my own body, to be able to control and stabilize them properly. I'm going to keep practicing this and keep my gym timetable. Great, this is just great!

Tried the L-sit with no knowledge, and its painfull on my quads. My wrist not able to fully support my body, how do I improve on this? And thanks for the beastskills site, there's some tutorials I could follow.

The pain I had with my quads, most probably because I'm too concentrate of wanting my legs to be straight at the starting point. Tried them out again after looking over beastskills, I'm pretty good. But couldn't do it long as my wrists are not strong enough, particularly my right wrist seems to be hurting the most.

Tried frogstand, hardly be able to stabilize myself. Takut sangat jatuh muka dulu at the same time tak terangkat kaki. I have to practice slowly to be more confident of myself. Those tiger push up or five fingers push up is pain on my thumb, but it felt good man. The wrist push up is scary, I wouldn't want to do that just yet. And will keep doing dumbbell wrist curl.

Fasting month didn't go to the gym yet, so I wish to fully utilize my boring time with calisthenics. Althought I wouldn't want to tire my body, would just do it 1-2 reps if I could for anything!

Still bending my knee on L-sit, trying slowly but my wrist hurts. I'll rest a day or two, then will try take pictures.

Yeah, stop hand stuff. Just now tried squat pistol. Freakin' pain man! Right leg with unperfect form, can do one or two like that but when I getting back up I need to do a little jump. I did 45 degrees angle for my feet, is it okay? I have small feet, I get better balance on 45 degrees. Unlike my normal squat, normally I did 30 degrees I think. While left leg, unperfect form I did go down but couldn't go back up. This is fun bahahaha!

It should be imperfect instead of unperfect right? Read it again, and my english sucks. Thanks for the heads up on the negative, will try them next time.
