Ladders problem.

feeds@yuku.com (SlightHiccup) — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 17:08:16 GMT

I've gotten up to 9 chinups doing grease the groove. I switched to ladders a week ago and now I can only do 8. Plus I hate doing them. Is this just one of those things that doesn't work for some people? I'm 210lbs if that's relevant.

try this pushup for a nice burn.

feeds@yuku.com (CaptKronos) — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 13:17:06 GMT

okay, wide hands and feet, take 5 seconds to go to the bottom, which is chest just off the floor, now rock your torso to each arm, using a one second count for each transition, do 5 of these switches. Now take 5 seconds to go back up. Do 5 "reps" of these. When you are worn out, just hold in the upward swing of a dand pushup, not locking elbows. this pushup incorporates slow cadence, iso hold at the end, and great range of hitting the pec by the rocking motion. I might have...

Yoga Yang

feeds@yuku.com (CaptKronos) — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 13:29:07 GMT

Just curious if any of you guys have purchased Sonnon's dvds. I have to tell you, I bought both "Flowfit" and just recently "Forward Pressure". I respect what he's trying to do, the badly needed injection of masculinity into Western yoga. God knows every yoga dvd I buy has a bit of a "light in the loafers" feel to it, but I have to tell you, these dvds are like $40 with shipping, and I feel like I MAYBE got the money's worth on the first, BIG...

"Perfect pushup"

feeds@yuku.com (paddyfackedup) — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 11:17:12 GMT

Does anybody use those pushup handles that rotate - "perfect pushup" (there may be other brands)? Are they any good?

Rocker pushups

Happy New Year everyone! Im surprised I dont see a new years resolutions thread. Perhaps this can be one?

Periodization?

feeds@yuku.com (kaesa) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 17:19:13 GMT

Hello everyone,

I was wondering what the board's thoughts are on periodization are if I am doing mainly bodyweight exercises? My normal routine is usually a 1 leg squat/deadlift, with or without weight and a type of press, usually a kb/db c&p, and the rest bodyweight stuff, pulls/chins, pushups etc.

I've been told that most of the perd. stuff had more to do with steroid cycles, but I could never verify that.

I want to continue to get stronger and more...

better than pushups for pecs

feeds@yuku.com (CaptKronos) — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:45:45 GMT

I've been doing an isometric fly with my chest expander, and I can for the first time start to see the striations in my inner and upper chest. I never got this with all those pushups. The natural function of the pec seems to be to bring the arm across the chest, while being less involved in actual pushing moves. I'm going to invest $12 for another expander, and with the help of a couple screw hooks in a board I'll stand on, I'll have my own cable crossover station. If...

Hello All,
I just stumbled upon this board tonight. I am a just out of university athlete who is headed into the military within the next year and I've begun the long road back to bodyweight style workouts after years of nothing but a typical collegiate weightlifting approach. In everyones opinion what are some good bodyweight programs that a little more advanced, with all the marketing out there i dont won't to buy into the stuff like Furey and Savage which basically give you...

Step-ups instead of Squats

feeds@yuku.com (Brown43) — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 00:55:13 GMT

I thought this article about using the step-up instead of the barbell squat would fit into the theme of the board. I have used bench stepping in the past as an aerobic and strength training. I like it better than squatting because it seemed more of a movement I would use in everyday life.
