My gym rings and resistance bands should be here in the next 2 weeks yayyyyy! Can’t wait to do inverted rows and eventually pull up negatives. What your fave piece of equipment atm in your calisthenics journey and what are you using it for?

Weight lifting hooks

Are weight lifting hooks cheating for working on pull ups?! The bar really hurts my hands (I take off my rings, put weight lifting tape and chalk to stop slipping) and although I need to work on my grip strength, I think this limits the amount of time I can spend practicing the actual pull up bit

Rule #1 - There are no rules If you don't like your hands hurting, then don't do it. If you wanted to compete though, they would almost certainly make you grab the bar regularly, but otherwise do what you want :)

Too many breaks!

Hi all, starting a new med has really thrown me but I’m determined to get back into a routine because I feel weaker after resting so much, even though I have been jumping rope most days still. Today I did 3 rounds of: Knee push ups with push up bars x7 Horizontal pull ups on the ground x7 Hollow body holds x16secs Lying leg raises x8 Deep squats x10

Don't worry about it Melody :) In a year there will be almost no measurable difference in how you feel, perform, or act. So just keep pushing forward :) You got this

Here's what I wish I knew when I first started (over 5 years ago): 1. Training, Diet, and recovery are really the only 3 things that matter, so just do the essentials of each and don't get caught in the super specifics (until later) 2. Having fun is fun. You can choose to have fun, so just have fun. 3. Don't stop. If you stop you can't get jacked or healthy, if you don't stop after a long enough time you will most likely be more jacked and healthier. Lemme know if that helps you :)
