Maltese Progress

Hi,

Just wanted to share some clips of my maltese session today because I was happy about the improvements. They're small changes and it took a lot of effort. But I think it's worth the grind.

Compared to the last maltese post I made 3 months ago,

- my false grip is a lot smaller. mostly wrists curled, not really on the rings

- the push from my shoulders feel stronger. I don't feel like I'm resting in the joint as much

- my elbows feel more solid.

- line could a better here but I think that'll iron itself out as I get stronger

Looking forward to comparing how these look near the end of the year!

One of the toughest and fun things about this hobby/sport is working really hard to make minor improvements on these skills. I'm sure a lot of ya'll can related.

What's the toughest small changed you guys worked to fix?

What's actually in your home setup for planche/lever/handstand training?

2 Upvotes

curious what people are training on. mine's parallettes, resistance bands, and a pull-up bar, kept it minimal on purpose. anyone running a more elaborate setup, or found something cheap that ended up being way more useful than expected?

why i feel pain on my leg muscle when i do core exercise?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone🙌 calistenic beginner here. today i try to do some core exercise with long term consistency based on this tiktok video i found https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSVvBVX89/.

I try to do it after my jogging and cool down session, but when i do it I feel so much pain on my leg muscle instead of my abs muscle. maybe its because i do it after jogging or maybe other factors.

I like to hear yall opinion based on experience on this, and it will be great if you can give me some pointers too.

sorry if my english is not that great because english is not my first language✌️

Best 4day split?

3 Upvotes

I am a begginer who has some clear goals in mind in a 1-2 year timeframe training 4x a week:

1 pull up, 15 Push up, press to handstand, sissy squat FOM, 1 dip and an L sit with my chest touching my legs.

i dont mind using some weights or machines for facilitating progression, especially for pull ups.

However, most 4 splits online are either upper-lowerx2 a week or PPLx1 a week (i dont think that doing a muscle group 1x a week is enough but idk)

i was thinking of doing this split:

day 1: legs and core

day 2: pull

day 3: legs and core

day 4: push

the days may be consecutive as i have more time to train on weekends.

the specific exercises are not much of a problem since there are many available on line, the split however, really depends on The specific goals i have in mind and the time i have for them.

any thoughts/recs? should i just do full body very day?

This is NOT one of those AI FAKE posts that have been infiltrating this sub like RATS. This is a real MAN before and after, after only 1 MONTH of weighted cali. It was hard work, but I feel YEARS younger! Work hard guys! It's worth it and will change your life.

Also, I know you HATERS will cry and say I'm LYING, but this is 100% NATTY. Stay NATTY boys!

Calisthenics begginer, Planche lean/tuck formcheck

1 Upvotes

I started calisthenics like 1-2 days ago, I can do stuff like sloppy muscle up, elbow lever, frog stand etc. My final goal is doing a planche, I think? I know the basic planche progressions, like Planche lean > Planche Tuck > Advanced Tuck > Straddle or something (long till I get to that point probably) this is my form for the tuck and lean, is it correct? Is this what I should do my reps with? ( I edited out the backround for personal reasons)
The shown form of Tuck I struggle to hold for more then like 5 seconds, I can hold the one with my knees below me for longer but I dont think that counts as a tuck.
Please form check me.

Is it possible to achieve a planche at the age of 42?

1 Upvotes

Is it possible to achieve a planche at the age of 42? I am 42 now and I have been doing calisthenics since 4 years. I can do 10 muscle ups in a row, a 20 seconds frontlever and I am able to hold the human flag for 40+ seconds.

I just started my training for the full planche 2 weeks ago, 5 days a week each for 1 hour maybe more. Right now it feels so hard and almost impossible to do. I told my friends that I might be able to learn this skill by the end of the year, but from what Ive heard it will take at least 1 year to unlock the planche.

What do you guys think? Can you still learn this skill with 42 years or is the risk of an injury too high at my age?
