holy shit this is so fucking hard manI can do like 5 diamond push ups but I can barely get 2 of these fucking things done with proper form, I hope I can do handstands soon
>>76713062that looks gay as fuck lmao, you're gonna let some dude fuck your asshole???? kek
>>76713066I made a bet with this chick in my bjj class that if I can do a planche by the end of this year she'll hook me up with her sister, thats why I'm doing this stupid shit, trying to progress
>>76713062Excuse me, but...how weak are you? I did 70 of those when I was 19yo (high as fuck)
>>76713062I hurt my should doing them. my fault because I hurried through my set and the pain thinking I'd be fine. make sure your shoulders are aligned and set proper before starting
>>76713079how did you know you hurt your shoulder? was it a sharp pain mid set that made you realise it wasn't typical stress, or was it a more than usual pain in the shoulder afterwards that didn't go away as fast as the usual muscle pains from shoulder workouts
>>76713086>was it a sharp pain mid setyeppers. never "push through the pain." sit down and relax. do more if you feel you can, otherwise call it a day and stretch later, maybe see a doctor.
>>76713090cheers anon, will keep in mind, been following pic rel so any day now I'll be doing 8 pikes straight then I can do handstands
>>76713062You should not be flaring out your elbows like that
>>76713069wtf is a planche
>>76713112thanks. if you get sharp pains STOP. I experienced sharp pains even days after the incident, and it was an intense pain you shouldn't have to go through
>>76713120why don't you search it up retard
>>76713062>I can do like 5 diamond push ups but I can barely get 2 of these fucking things done with proper form, I hope I can do handstands soonit's got nothing to do with handstand and handstand is retarded gimmicks also
You should be doing pseudo planche push ups, planche attempts and progressions instead of pike pu and diamond pu lol
>>76713392>>76713488i mostly agree with these anons but if you genuinely find pike push ups hard then it cant hurt to work on them to build a baseline level of strength.also > handstand is retarded gimmicksliterally fucking everything is a retarded gimmick being able to kick flip is a gimmick, being able to play piano is a gimmick, being able to tightrope walk is a gimmick the whole point of life is finding joy in the gimmicks
>>76713502>kickflips>piano>tightropegreat taste in gimmicks.
>>76713502>literally fucking everything is a retarded gimmickreally? oh, so the stuff i fixed up and welded up to be better than factory so that it doesn't break again - thas also gimmick? isolating abs from iliopsoas is also gimmick? right? who needs abs anyways :D>>76712845>>>76702739 >>u need to do dragon flag but with legs completely folded in hips and knees to make iliopsoas ineffective, beyond it's capacity to do more hip flexion>>lift your knee up as high as it goes standing>>then bring your knee further in with your arms - that's the position u want legs in when u're holding pelvis off the floor (in dragon flag setup) with abs, cause iliopsoas can't do shit there>>and watch legs trying to flex as u do it - resist that urge - that's iliopsoas wanting to take over the resistance from abs>dragon flag, but with legs folded in knees and hisps fully atop pelvis - it was that simple :D>i use 2 light dumbbels in outstretched arms as counterbalance moved past head, upper back and head on the floorlike who cares if u're doing "core" u want to do all of core right? and if abs don't grow that's it - that's your "core", enjoy your worked up upon "core", u never wanted abs anyways, right? xD
