chins- Can you do jumping pullups? can you use a chair for assistance instead of bands? I ask because i personally along with Johnny that bands are a terrible way to work towards getting your first pullup?



I can do either of those. I didn't know bands were a bad way to work towards a pullup.

for L-Sits- can you do an l-sit tuck? if not lets try hanging knee raises. Slow and very controlled. figure out what your max is and do 60% of that for the 3 rounds.



No, I don't think I can do any sort of L-sit at the moment. I will have to try.

quote:

for the overhead squat- start with the bar for sets of 10. If that is too hard then do a broom stick. Concentrate on form. Add 5lbs a week if you start with teh bar. Do 3 weeks with the broom stick if that is where you have to start and then move to the bar or a lighter training bar if you have it.



Thanks. I have done WODs with 65lb OH squats, so I will start with the bar and add weight.

tend to be hard on the joints. start with 5 jumping pullups per round and really fight the negative on each rep. start there and we can add volume in 2 weeks. and bands tend to get you good at doing pullups with bands.

do handing knee raises then. If you can't do them, lets do ab wheel rollouts from the knees.

Key is slow and substainable progression over time.
