ReplyDeleteHeavy KBS... Bring on BUBBA!!
Hi team.
ReplyDeleteAre the hspu close grip on parallettes or close hand placement? Distance? Or do we just roll with what we can do at that tempo..
Cheers

"B2. HSPU close grip"
ReplyDeleteParallettes are not mentioned so don't use them. Close grip is about shoulder width.
What are opinions on kipping TTB when doing these rep ranges and not in all-out met-con? They are considerably easier on the abs of course.

Have been following along, running about a month or so behind. Just sort of feeling out the workouts (which are smoking my bags). Finally decided to jump into the mix on the current workouts. Last workout on the old schedule for me was 50 split jerks (165#, done day before yesterday). Left my shoulders feeling like mush. And what should appear on the day I decide to use the current workout? More pressing!
Either need to add weight to the GHD raises since I have to sub the 45 degree bench or rig something up that allows me to anchor my feet while kneeling on the floor.

Is this considered a kip? If not, can someone please post a video of a kipping toes to bar? My turn over rate looks and feels very slow with these and I don't feel like I will win any T2B races. Any advice would be appreciated.

Q: are you allowed to bend your knees on the T2B?
I am really glad there was no isolation rhomboids etc today.
Love the pullup bars in the doorways at CF central they are awesome. Oh to live in a warm climate.

Paul, those aren't kippers. Kipping toes-to-bar are quite fast and almost violent looking with the shoulders and forearms doing a lot of the work. Pop your hips like you'd do a pull-up but keep your arms straight and kick your feet up right away instead. I'd send you a video but I'll be damned if I can find one right now.
ReplyDeletePlease don't ask me to explain this any further because it's really something you can't put into words well, just give 'er.
Paul:

About 3/4 of the way through, there's a bit on kipped KTEs. I think you'll see pretty quickly how to apply it to TTBs.

Not sure about last time I did 1RM for Push Press but 195 lbs is definitely a PR. Failures came from not staying erect directly underneath bar. bad habit of leaning back and not keeping solid midsection when weight gets big. 205lbs is also a PR for Push Jerk

ReplyDeleteMy wife and I recently attended the Black Box Summit. Your no nonsense approach to what you do is appreciated. Your presentations were truly inspiring! We learned so much from you and have taken on your challenge immediately. I have already incorporated some of the things you talked about when working with my clients. Thank you SO much for taking the time to share with us out of your busy schedule!
MUCH respect,
