Well I got Adidas Power Perfect 2's (leftover stock), but they turned out to be completely the wrong size so I had to send them back. I'm still planning on driving over to a store that sells squat shoes (it's about 30km so not too far), but haven't actually got around to doing it yet.

Try /r/weightroom, it's really good. I like /r/bodyweightfitness most of the time too, and the mods really stay on top of quality now.

Ha I got laughed at for getting a pair of squat shoes the other day. I was like: "bro, you don't even squat 1-plate, so shut up".

That is mild annoyance. This is me losing my shit.

Oh look, it's this thread again. Using the search function will give you plenty of opinions.

Dude what.

Yes, it's a good routine, but bodyweight strength work is as taxing as lifting weights, so it's not something you should be doing on your off days.

You could also just keep the elbows in.

Yeah that's exactly what I mean.

Disil, you could use a little more ROM at the bottom judging from the first set, but looks very solid otherwise. There's likely some other factors going on in Waldo's example as I've gotten stronger in weighted pulls and consequently learned to pull very explosively. The trick is to try and explode up on every rep, even during your warmup sets.

EE you mean with the hip snap? That looks so ugly.

I started watching Sherlock the other day. Very fun series.

Goddammit why does everyone always want to make every bodyweight workout a circuit? It's very likely going to hamper your strength gains if you do it like that.

How's your support hold?

Okay, this comes dangerously close to medical advice, but here's what you'll want to be doing: you need to regress the movement until it comes to a point where you can do a bit of work. Then you do that work up until your forearms start complaining, and right at that point you stop. Ask your body to increase its capacities, but don't push it hard. If all goes well you'll see some improvement over time.

Shoulder look fine. You should work on your compression ability.

Don't be a moron, see a doctor.

Range of motion is the range through which you move. For instance, the top of a pushup is a plank with straight arms, and then you go down until your chest is to the floor. That's full ROM, whereas if you'd stop halfway, you'd be doing less ROM.

Pretty solid videos. His form is good on most exercises.

A week off is nothing. Take it as a deload and you'll probably come back stronger.

If your quads are cramping up, this is to be expected and completely normal. Massage it out and continue onwards, it'll get better with time. If the pain is not coming from cramping (intense muscle contraction), see a doc.

+1 for using the word ape. Monkeys can't even brachiate.

That's not what Murphy's Law says at all. Murphy's Law states that "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". The implicit assumption is given enough time. If there is a non-zero probability of an event, given enough time, that event will occur.

I should add that to the Bodyweightfitness FAQ.

You watch out, they're total beasts in bed.
