Be sure when doing hollow holds your lower back is resting on the ground. here is a video to help you:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlDNef_Ztsc

Hang from a double folded towel with one hand, your grip will be on fire and ready to go.

Every once in a while not only is it good it is necessary to take a break. Most advnaced calisthenics/gymnastics movements become taxing on the CNS once you get to harder varieties, especially when training for strength. A week off is a great way to take the load off and I have noticed that I even gain muscle over that week. Now of course you can workout for two weeks and then take a week off, but I belive that ever 8 weeks or so taking a rest week is a great idea.

Yeah it is a crazy depth sissy squat, thank you!

I am an actor, not a big one just currently going short films an theatre work(still 18 and a student). There is this one dance move than I think would be great for my more intense musicals, in which the dancer is on the floor on his knees and gets up without lunging at all, Like a super intense squat. He starts on his toes and just stands up, and this is incredibly hard! I havent seen anyone else do that. I do naked warrior and a bunch of gymnastic movements to help build up strength/body awareness. I cant do a full pistol yet, but im halfway there. Do you know of any progressions I can do to achieve that from your toes to standing move?

1. Bridge work. 2. Pseudo Planche work. Even though this doesn't directly work the lats, they are in full fire to help stabilize the movement. I have not had access to a pull up bar/rings for a while now, so im doing pure floor work and working on planche has helped out my lats, not as much as pull ups but it is better than nothing.

I live in my dorm right now, me breaking hte frame pissed them off already, and there is not much I can do about that....In fact the only reason I got away with ripping the door frame out was I told my RA the frame came out when I opened the door with a bit more force, I lied to him about the pull up bar. I can handle the sandbag, its only 50 pounds and I used to row/curl alot more back when I played football.

Will doing it with a sandbag have the same affect?

Beastly man! And you have a bouldering place in your home? Holy crap!

I did buy one of those, im 200 pounds and it ripped the top of my door frame off.... lol. Im buying a freestanding pull up bar that will let me do muscle ups and levers and all that fun stuff, but like I said I need to wait to get it. Its $250 off during the sale, and $250 can get me food for 2 months. That is why I need to wait.

Probably your weight putting you off balance. I assume you are using Convict Conditioning from the progression. Maybe add in one leg box squats, box above parallel and slowly lower it as you build balance and strength. Another thing is holding weight it your hands. Single leg squats are actually easier to do when holding some weight

Thats more of a push than a pull movements, I ca see it involving lats but not exactly working them (the same way push ups do)

Forgot to add, I have a 50 pound sandbag that I made myself. (Bag of gravel in a trash bag wrapped in duck tape)

Hello all! So im into advanced calisthenics now and I bout Convict conditioning and read up all of waldos website. Problem is I dont have a pull up bar YET. I will be getting one soon, during the holiday sale my local sporting good store has for this free standing pull up bar(im a poor college student). So my dilema is that for 2 months I dont have a pull up bar. I dont want to keep paying my gym membership but I also want to maintain my strong back and biceps (used to powerlift). So are there any movements, static or otherwise that will help my back out during this time? (I literally cant find a place to hang that will support me! The parks near me are for little kids and its impossible to do pullups on them!)

Most kids from other countries start olympic lifting at a very young age actually! Ussually use a PVC pipe to nail down form first, and that is one of the reasons USA gets its but handed to it in olympic lifting!

So im trying to get from my 190 to 170-175 while getting stronger. I basicly want to be as strong as a warrior, able to do anything I want. I have been lifting for a while, but it was bodybuilding stuff, and while I did get huge once, alot of it was fat (got to 260). I still have a belly and love handles I want to get rid of. So would this diet/program be smart? I plan on doing greyskull LP (summary: http://www.powerliftingtowin.com/greyskull-lp/) On my 3 lifting days I eat more calories and carbs, basically maintenance calories. On my four off days I eat in a deficit and do the greyskull burpee workout: http://www.vpxsports.com/article-detail/training/a-simple-yet-awful-greyskull-trick-for-dropping-body-fat Will this help me get stronger while changing body comp? My stats are: Weight: 190 Waist: 30 Height: 6'1 Bench: 175x2 Front squat (i do this instead of back squats): 135x1 deadlift: 235x3 My overall goals are to be 190-200 pounds of pure muscle while being lean as hell (visible abs) and maybe compete in strongman.
