whats a "shoulder (with rings)"?

#

off a glance this looks like a whole lot of volume do u have any goal specifically?

#

I would add some kind of pike push up/hspu progression

#

also id put tricep work after the compounds (so not in front of the push ups)

light geyser
#

also whats a "triceps" workout

#

also also how long have u been training?

#

also what's a "biceps" workout

lofty kayak
#

I have experience to lifting weights for 2 months

#

ah well id go out on a limb and say if u did this routine u MAY get pretty sore and not be able to do it for longer than a week but thats just my observation

#

whats ur split days?

#

coz u only list 1 push and 1 pull so i was curiois

lofty kayak
#

day 1 pull
"" 2 push
"" 3 legs
"" 4 pull
"" 5 push
"" 6 legs

#

well if u been doin it for 2 months and it works i mean u do u

#

yeah, I just want to know if there's something i could add or improve to it. Like adding pike push up

light geyser
#

imo the push day could maybe replace a chest workout with pikes but im notoriously biased against dips

#

im not sure what muscles skinning the cat hits tbh

#

i mean theres nothing that wrong with ur routine i dont think, but ur push day does hit ur chest the same way like 3 times which idk if thats an issue it may not matter, i like ring flyes personally but thats coz i do those too

#

this is kind of a crazy suggestion but i do german hangs in my warmup for shoulder warmup u could skin the cat in ur warmup for shoulder conditioning or smth

#

or you could just keep doin whatcha doin, but i agree woth fab id try to add pikes in there

#

what I would do personally is pikes after dips but i like giving my chest an exercise to "rest" when i hit it over and over

#

it works for me but ymmv

lofty kayak

#

i do shoulder mobility, wrist mobility, and an rto lean (for easy to me straight arm warmup)

#

so german hang, planche leans, and rto leans

lofty kayak
#

more ability means flexibility? or something else?

light geyser
#

like strength

#

and flexibility

#

like i can hardly do a advtuck planche before my wrist work

#

or my wrists just arent strong enough

#

it hurts my wrists too if i dont warmup

lofty kayak
#

so i'll remove skin the cat and should add that to my warm up?

light geyser
#

if you want, it may also be harder for u than i know coz idk u

#

but like u can experiment and if it works then keep doin it

#

my current workout is completely centered around front lever and planche training tho im not really specifically strength training atm

lofty kayak
#

new pull day:
pullup
shoulders(with rings)
rows
biceps

#

how many sets & reps(seconds) the warmup?

light geyser
#

idk whatll work for u (theres no rules im just relaying my experience) but i do 3 german hangs then 3 planche leans the 3 rto leans and i hold each about as long as i can (like 10-30 seconds)

#

and i rest some amount in between but the amount is usually how long i get distracted while doing it

#

i get sidetracked a lot

#

i tend to rest less in the warmup coz it makes me emotionally feel warm like a warmup but idk if it really matters

#

my buddy warms up with 30 minutes of cardio (which i think is a little silly but if it's works)

#

just depends on what you wanna do

#

so I add warmup, and pike pushup. Wow, this actually opened my mind to a lot of what I'm lacking.

#

Thanks! I'll fix my program and continue building muscles if possible!
