Hello everyone, I'm wondering whether to buy elbow sleeves for bent arm exercises such as dips. I have an anatomical problem where my ulnar nerve dislocates at a certain degree of flexion. With time and the pressure of dips, pain can occur. In short, I wanted to know if you have ever tried elbow sleeves and if they were effective? Do they really reduce pressure? Which brand and model would you recommend? Thanks & have a great day

I can do single FL with good form but when started my workout I couldn't hold it instead of proper rest

How can I get abs ? My split push pull 2times a week and I am training FL 4 times a week and 2 days push.

Guys, I’ve got a problem. Right now I can do 10 pull-ups, 20 dips, and 33 push-ups, so I was thinking about starting to practice muscle-ups. The issue is, I realized I need explosive pull-ups for that, and when I tried, I could only do 4. I’m not sure how to improve them or what kind of routine would help build explosiveness, since I’ve never really trained for it before. Any ideas?

I first found Simon about 1,5 years ago on Instagram, and it completely changed how I see calisthenics. Before that, I thought you had to do bodybuilding or powerlifting to get really big and strong. I didn’t believe you could build a crazy physique and still do elite calisthenics. But then I saw Simon, 85+ kg, shredded, doing 100 kg dips for reps and 100 kg pull-ups, and my whole perspective shifted. At the time, I was just a guy with mid physique, nothing crazy, training mostly like a bodybuilder/average gym dude. I liked calisthenics, but I didn’t think it could make me jacked. After following Simon and some other heavy-weight calisthenics athletes, I decided to go all-in on weighted basics, mainly pull-ups and dips, with just minimal gym accessories and a bit of calisthenics skills later. I also applied some powerlifting principles to get stronger, not just bigger. The results blew me away. In the last 1.5 years I went from only doing bodyweight dips and pull-ups, to now: - +75 kg pull-up - +20 kg muscle-up - +50 kg dip for 5 reps (had to stop 6 motnhs ago due to sternum pain) I am at 175 cm and 75 kg, pretty lean and stronger than ever. Along the way, I also picked up handstand push-ups, front lever, and even a crappy human flag. lol I know this community is mainly about calisthenics skills, but I just wanted to share how adding weight to the basics completely changed my physique and made learning skills so much easier. Of course, skill work is still more specific, but the carryover from weighted basics is huge. Thanks again Simon for the inspiration 🙌
