I'm sure that most of you know that Simon has been doing weighted basics as he enjoys it. However, for someone trying to hold their first pretty good form 3s full planche and full front lever, do you think it will slow down statics progress, or speed it up?

In this post, I’d like everyone to share their biggest struggle with Calisthenics workouts. We all face challenges on our journey, and there can be various obstacles in our workouts, progress, or learning experiences. 👉🏻Please share the obstacle or problem you’re currently facing. Someone else in the community may have insight or advice to help and can reply to your comment.

Basically, i want to learn planche, front lever, hspu, and get more reps in pull ups. I train 6 times per week ( i train legs on the gym). What should be my training division?

Greasing the groove is a highly effective training method that I’ve added to my routine, leading to faster results! GTG involves doing sets at 70-80% effort throughout the day, allowing long rest periods between sets to increase volume and avoid CNS (Central Nervous System) fatigue Benefits: 1. More recovery time = longer holds & easier reps 2. Can be done at home on weekends or during the week if you work from home or lack motivation to hit the gym 3. Increased volume: more sets throughout the day compared to a single 1-2 hour workout 4. On rest days, light progressions and stretching are great for active recovery 5. GTG can be a way to break up longer 1-2 hour training sessions Risk (How to GTG safely): 1. Light progressions are safe and require minimal warm-up 2. Heavier progressions require a full warm-up before the first set, and a light warm-up for later sets 3. Front lever and handstand are ideal for GTG, as they’re less straining/injury-prone than exercises like planche and hefesto, allowing for increased volume 4. If recovering from injury, you can use lighter progressions (60-70%) to activate the necessary muscles for the next day’s heavier non-GTG session. If you feel slight pain, drop the ego and reduce intensity. For severe pain, stop training, rest, and focus on rehab exercises and light progressions to gradually build the strength back in the muscle or tendon My Approach: 1. I wouldn't recommend GTG 24/7 as your body also needs longer periods of rest time to recover 2. I do a Planche / Front split where I choose to GTG for front lever 1-2 times a week, whereas I don't attempt heavy GTG progressions for planche as I've been injured in the past and have to be careful to not re-aggrivate my forearms from my forearm splints due to having mistakingly overtrained 16 months ago 3. I find planche works better in a 2-hour session since my tendons get more recovery time after my workout. Progress might be slower than with GTG, but it’s a safer approach for me, especially considering my forearm splints 4. I GTG with handstand holds on rest days and during deloads as they are minimally fatiguing

Do you guys think it's better to have less carbs with a high protein diet to be lighter for Cali , or more carbs with high protein to have more energy for workouts?
