whats a "shoulder (with rings)"?
i found this workout in fitnessfaq video. He called this X & Y pull
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)
My goal specifically is to build muscle, because I don't have access to gym due to my home which is a province.
also what's a "biceps" workout
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
just a basic bicep curls with rings and tricep extension with rings
there is the BWSF thats pretty good volume
This is my normal routine so far it felt like going to gym, and I want to know if there are spots that I can improve
how long u been doing it?
I sometimes add weights
how long have u been doin this routine?
2 months now
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
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
it hits lats
so the spot to improve is the push day?
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
new push day:
dips
rings chest fly
pushup
triceps
pike pushup
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
I never do warmup, and I have no idea why. But so far so good. Even when I was in gym.
i used to never warmup but ive now realized its not about injury warming up simply gives me wayy more ability
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
more ability means flexibility? or something else?
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
so i'll remove skin the cat and should add that to my warm up?
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
new pull day:
pullup
shoulders(with rings)
rows
biceps
how many sets & reps(seconds) the warmup?
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
