Author Topic: after a day of fasting (Read 3625 times)

yeah I have been bulking, getting a little bit more than maintenance everyday just enough to allow for muscle growth.

I have switched to almost exclusively Body Weight training.

It is very rewarding.

Just got a pair of rings, and the very first day I hung them I was able to do iron cross to support for reps. I also feel way better and more powerful then when I was doing 2.75xbw sumo DLs

YES you are right becuase us skinny people have the power to move our own bodies.

SELF Ctrl at the most fundamental level

Cool. I like chins and dips, but still like weights to round things out. I think I'd feel too limited with BW excercises only. Been meaning to incorporate handstand pushups, but my balance is shit - I'd appreciate any tips there.

Did you go into that iron cross eccentric (drop into it from the top) or concentric (bring yourself up into it from below)? Either way... wow, if the latter, then

!!

Bear in mind that the greatest strength to weight ratio is found in professional rock climbers (so I've heard), but you probably wouldn't pick one of them as your ideal physique.

Then allow me this blanket statement: Body weight excercises are always shunned by lardasses.

put on some socks, kick up into a handstand against a wall. if you can't kick up start by walking your feet up with your belly facing the wall.

haha pulling from a dead hang to an iron cross would be quite a feat. As far as I know it has never been done.

However you can work towards it by doing butterfly pullups on the rings, pushing the rings out as you pull up.
