r/Calisthenic

I’m taking my front lever to the extreme.
If you need help with anything related to front lever or calisthenics in general, feel free to ask 🙌🏻

I am a bit self-conscious about uploading this video, but here I go. I've been spamming pike pushups for a bit, I think it's my 4th week (training 3x a week, 6 supersets of push-pull). I Only do pike pushups for push. I want to get good at them.

I've been doing calisthenics for a while now, I can do a lot of strict pushups and even 8-10 archers. However, I find that pike pushups are surprisingly hard and my form is definitely not even close.

I try to pay attention to the following cues:
- keeping my forearm straight
- flexing my core
- triangle shape
- elbows tucked
- protracting scapulae up top

I really need to work on my hamstring mobility, don't mind that for now. It's clearly limiting me. But for the rest, no matter how many videos I watch, I just can't seem to get a grip on the technique. Why are pike pushups so hard? Any advice on what I should pay attention to?

input would be highly appreciated.

First time trying g a false grip. Actually made the muscle up easier. Hows the form?

I have been progressing from knee to bench to now standard (recently🥳) push-ups over the last year. I know that my form is a bit uneven and wobbly, and I’ve been working on my scapular protraction at the top end of the range. The vids are from three different sessions and I think it’s getting better? I included a side view as well because it’s difficult for me to tell if I’m rounding my whole back at the top end.

Also a question - I can only do three good reps at a time…is it better to go back to the bench and continue to focus on better form, or keep going with three sets of three and try to add in a rep in a month or so?

I banana'd a little, i know.

This is my first muscle up after 8 years without practicing it
I did my first muscle when I was in high school, I was capable to do 4 muscles up in row back in these days
But now I’m more heavier than ever so I’m quite happy to do only one
I don’t train muscle up at all I just do pull up in my training

What do you think and what can I improve

Thanks

I have a weak serratus anterior and I need to be working on scapular push ups. When I do push ups, my scapulas look horrible and weird. Am I doing these push ups correctly? The scapulas look as awful as when I’m doing normal push ups.

Getting back to the double-front clap push-ups for fast twitch musclar strength. I use this for my HIIT, 15 minutes every 12 days. Still working on the form.

19, i did my stuff like this, this is all the warm up and the form. my right arms rotator cuff got fried and i assume there's no bigger suspect than this 😭

i also can not hold myself for actual hand stand push ups after this transition, let me know if you would need a different angle to check thanks

by the way : the filtering bot said it did not allow abbreviations but I do not know how heavy it is, this thing is kind of funny because i really feel like i am overdoing it, please help ❤️

17 , at home calisthenics .

In 2010 someone cut me off on my shiny red 929 Fireblade and my arm got caught between their truck and my bike... Woke up in the hospital with a shattered wrist with 27 fractures, and a few days later they put a bunch of screws (14 I believe) and two metal plates and I was left in a full arm cast for 4 months. Doc said I'd never lift 5 lbs again and to forget working out.

16 years later, I'm holding 20 second left-handed L-seat hangs, doing left-handed hanging toes to bar, hitting human flags and 12 second clean front levers. Recently made this vid, don't pust much but I figured I'd put it up here as I'm curious for feedback. Thanks

I have been training handstand on and off for 3 years, i try to do shoulders opening stretches in the morning everyday but i seem to still have an arched back/banana form, how do i achieve a full stacked handstand ?

Took awhile but we got there 💪
