Grip killing the already dead grip!!!

Yes, dead hangs very beneficial. For some reason, my grip was very tired yesterday. I do 4 sets and I rest 3 minutes between sets. I might need more rest! Merci beaucoup Éric!

@PaulfromOregon your session is good , rest 3 mn good , I just did vidéo , australians pulls ups for you ,

@ericveran6472 Je viens de commenter! Merci beaucoup mon ami!

@@PaulfromOregon I didn t see, your comment I a Bad one handling , I deleted vidéo I put it back

I guess man, just chalk it up to being one of those days and not trip on it unless it happens again. Appreciate you Gus, hope the trip was awesome.

Could be man, so weird. Appreciate the support, peace bro.

@@HybridGym truth. And as I was kind of alluding to in the VO, its working, so why am I complaining??? Just because it looks silly to me, lol. Good news is, definitely sore in the upper chest this morning. Hope you're having a good day brother!

​@@PaulfromOregondoesn't look silly, looks good! Just unconventional 😅 i think my reply on our martial art/rings chat disappeared

I've seen this technique used in a lot of different arts. In fact, at that conference I was telling you about, two different kung fu dudes presented basically the same thing.

Yes in wing chun it's called jut sau or biu sau that high intercept depending if it's more block/jut, or strike/biu I'd say. And the low strike is a spade hand can't remember the 'cantonese'

@HybridGym when things are effective, you see them everywhere in different cultures called different things. But it's all the same basic body language.

​@@PaulfromOregonabsolutely. The only thing possibly more unique to wing chun is sticking hands, which is better imo than taichi pushing hands as it includes strikes and energy rather than just energy, with pseudo wrestling which is how I encountered it, still enjoyed it but, less valuable in my experience

@HybridGym so this drill here is used in our training in a similar way. Feeling energy and trying to successfully break the Sagang Labo into something else, like joint locks or throws. It's a lot of fun. I'm going to teaching our group while our Guro is in the Philippines and I'll try and get some video to show.

@@SimonTrageser the lunge man himself! It's a shame I was so intimidated by the heavier lunges, I know I'll get there! Thanks Simon!

@@reverendterminator yeah dude. Deadlifting is going to get silly with this setup!

Thanks Oo, I always appreciate you stopping by and dropping some wisdom. You're one of the guys that inspired me to take this route, so salute to you brother. Hope all is well!

Dips look confident

@@HybridGym they're feeling like a movement that I can trust myself in finally. I know the form that works for me and I can consistently execute. Excited to add weight.

Some of them might possibly be recorded in somewhat of an, altered state. Lol.

Thanks man, I'll take that compliment and cherish it!

Modoc was right next to me too, waiting for me to be done so I could throw the ball.

He's such a patient and sweet old man. (Like you.)

Haha! It was a beautiful sun break, dogs were chillin... Just a nice time to be outside.

The goats terrorize that willow too, lol.

Man, I wish you would have told me sooner.

@PaulfromOregon Gotta let me know the plan ahead of time. 🤣

LOL!

Matty my man! Thank you brother!

Merci beaucoup Éric!

Having been a laborer most of my life I like to sand calluses down just enough that they don't catch and tear. A smooth transition works best for me. Isn't that what we always want, a smooth transition? That's cool that my ideas for the pulls are coinciding with the deliberate practice rubric. I have s problem slipping out of false grip in a dead hang, so I'm really trying to work that. I have to put a tremendous amount of focus into my hands and it seriously fatigues me quickly. Ring rows, no problem, I can rock the FG all day. But the full body weight in a fully extended position is still challenging for me. Went to a seminar today with 10 different martial arts instructors given a half hour of time to present material. Like martials arts speed dating. My instructor was presenting and as usual I was his uke. It was fun, a Systema teacher presented which was silly, but still fun. Anyways, seemed like the kind of thing you might enjoy.

​@@PaulfromOregonsounds fun! I think systema is a bit like taichi where their emphasis on relaxation has made them a joke to other styles, yet people say they hit really hard and I bet they can be as good as any other art. Not that I've encountered systema. I read a book about it and it had a suspect legend like origin story of Christianity and healing powers. Smooth rings transition is the ideal, in fact smooth rings in general is my aim, but it does take more energy I feel to remove the jarring, the jarring/pulsing/ boosting effect. Sometimes smooth is effortless though and I'm not sure why it's only sometimes. Most sessions for me are a mix of smooth then a bit jarred to get extra reps in. Thinking deliberate practice, perhaps we should have several micro goals per set, all sorts of micro and macro goals, and ideas of time frames and maybe even flow chart like progression plans, like if this happens move to A, this happens move to B. Also, if you see something in my videos that could be improved, let me know! I don't have anyone casting a critical eye on my rings, but having a teacher/coach or at least peer criticism is vital feedback

@@HybridGym well, I'll do what I can to scrutinize your rings, but I've pretty much learned from watching you. Kind of feels like the grasshopper telling the mountain to move. Ha. The Systema half hour was actually quite fun because he mostly had us pushing each other and flowing with the force which, as you mentioned, is very tai chi. The amount of people who couldn't flow with the concept was a bit surprising, but maybe not as over half the seminar was karate practitioners. I would say that their videos online make them a ripe target for ridicule, but the exercises presented in this seminar I could see the merit of. Regardless, I will not be training Systema anytime soon, lol.

​​​@@PaulfromOregonego is a huge problem IMO in martial arts and probably in rings but i haven't known anyone IRL into rings so can't say. But in martial arts i found even though i racked up experience, my superiors really didn't want feedback on their teaching or techniques from anyone 'lower', even though my experiences differed from theirs. For instance, around 8 years into wing chun i started tai chi too, this really started flavouring my wing chun with a softer element that would often get the better of ny peers, but rather than us all look at what we might bring into wing chun, it was kind of frowned on and hushed up, i was a bit of an anomaly. Another guy was a doorman and was really good at dropping people, trips and sweeps, but we didn't use his skill, he was asked to stop. Ok, so we may have ended up a bit MMA or Jeet Kun Do, but it seemed a bit narrow minded to me. Also, we occasionally did ground fighting application which i enjoyed, i think it was usful and fun to train, but it was so rarely done where as we spent too much time on standing fighting application which i thought was less useful as artificial than quality sticking hands. Ground fighting might have been artificial too but to NOT go to ground was unrealistic thinking. My last few years in the club, i spent 90% of my time sticking hands with peers over a decade experience, as I thought that was the best use of my training time. The teachers weren't bad but i don't think they were open minded either.. Anyway, what i thought was, even if i have got more rings experience than you, you'll have your own insights and naturally more proficient areas, and you'll branch out differently as your interests diverge and can feedback your insights. Id like to think i can contain my ego enough to consider any feedback 😊 ideally

Poor man's weight lifting! Just no throwing the weights down!! Hope things are good on your end brother!

@PaulfromOregon Been a rough couple of weeks in the Nelson household, but we are hanging in there. Hope you and the family are doing well.

@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub I'm sorry to hear that Brad. All my best to you and the gang my friend.

@@PaulfromOregon I appreciate you, brother. We are mostly recovered now and getting back after it.

@@ClarksvilleBarbellClub good to hear Brad. Keep on keeping on brother!

Done with the Deload and on to heavier load! Thanks Tjibbe! Hope you're doing awesome brother!

@@PaulfromOregon always my friend everyday is a joy for me!😁

So false grip is a way of holding the rings or a bar that puts the weight on your wrist and gives you a few more inches of height when you do pullups. It's 100% mandatory for proper ring muscle ups and for slow bar muscle ups. The hand positions are slightly different between bar and rings, but the concept is the same. It also trains the forearms quite rigorously which I enjoy because I'm all about that Popeye physique. No worries my dude, I don't mind answering questions at all. All my best to you bro!

I'm addicted to feeling the stretch!!!!

@@PaulfromOregon nice

I'm looking forward to squatting and lungeing with more weight next week. Excited to see how it goes!

@@PaulfromOregon yah buddy

@@reverendterminator light weight!!

Pew pew! Scoosh scoosh! Ore-gun-slinger.

Haha, not sure why, but ok!

Hope you're having a good holiday my brother!

@@PaulfromOregon just came home bro

@@reverendterminator ahh, glad you got home safe. Get some rest!

@@PaulfromOregon thanx big bro, watching your video now

Appreciate that big time Jim!

@@PaulfromOregon Oh is this your channel bro? Good stuff. I'm trying to make the same kind of channel. Mostly calisthenics and telling people to get off their butts.

Hey! I did the lunges way slower!! I also figured out that if I go knees over toes I can get some good stretch in the quads. Definitely paid for that dip pause and stretch, not very deload worthy when I'm sore the next day, lol.

​@@PaulfromOregonyeah it's hard to slow down, you must have felt good enough to go for it!

@@HybridGym or I'm just not thinking, which is an attribute high on my skill tree.

​​​@@PaulfromOregonIt's an attribute I share trust me 😅 however, I'm reading a book on 'peak performance ' and learning about 'deliberate practice' as the method of choice in making gains across any area, I'm hoping to apply the knowledge to my sessions, in fact I'm trying it out most with cartwheels, I'm setting mini tasks, so today was the soft landing and micro pause in the middle, last time was just the pause, after a few sessions I'll try something like longer pause, or leg switching, that kind of thing. I used to just do cartwheels and hope for the best. I'm going away for a week in Cornwall haven't decided if I'm taking the rings yet as there's usually no easy tree to hang off, if not I'll spend more time on wheels

@@HybridGym deliberate practice yes, like deliberately practicing the skills you wish to utilize. Like sweep picking or drum rudiments. In regards to the cartwheels, it must be working because they're looking very smooth and intentional. Final takeaway? There are no trees in Cornwall, but plenty of small chickens.

Man, these concrete cavemen got seriously underpaid!!

I'm up 7 lbs in 2 months!

@@PaulfromOregon congrats

Éric Veran is a pull master extraordinaire!

@@PaulfromOregon yes brother Paul of Oregon!! King of the beavers

I'm doing my best Chris! Still adjusting and learning about this new training modality. Learning, staying fit and having fun.

Thank you. Got a bit rambling on there.

​@@PaulfromOregonthere's nothing wrong with getting your thoughts and ideas out! But sometimes I do a voiceover and can't stand it, just hit delete

@@HybridGym my nihilism usually prevents me from caring too much, lol.

The synchronicity of that was pretty awesome. Even surprised me when I saw it!

​@@PaulfromOregonfascinating! Mundane evidence of time travel!

Thanks Rev. I gotta catch up and see how you're doing brother!

@@PaulfromOregon no videos from spain...i will make one with clips from the workouts when i get home...2 more days bro, to much food :(

@@reverendterminator sounds awesome Rev! Muy bueno!

@@PaulfromOregon yes sir - it is nice

Thanks love. Staying out and going to bed late took care of any progress I was feeling unfortunately!

@@PaulfromOregon Oh bummer! I'll make you soup and gently encourage you to take an after-work nap. I'll join you. x

Thank you Eric!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. The slog has been punishing lately.

It's been tough lately brother.

@@PaulfromOregon yes but still you are the one digging the graves, not the one in them bro.

@@reverendterminator 10 toes up not 10 toes down!

Merci Éric!

Kind of what I'm going for. As long as it's less intense and still gets the muscles working and fending off soreness then I have succeeded.

​@@PaulfromOregonyou know, I'm sure theres as much art as science to all this

@@HybridGym absolutely agree.

Thanks Rev.

Freaking Canadians hoarding all the snow and mooses. Speaking French and riding Caribou across the frozen tundra.

@@PaulfromOregon yes sir, and they are taking away freedom from people.

Oh sure. Stretching and all the bar exercises. All the positions. Standalone skills, etc. all in French. oui oui.

​@@PaulfromOregonnice! They say ballet dancer are some of the fittest

@@HybridGym now is that the English usage of the word "fit"? because if so, I'm more of a volleyball fan. If you mean they are in good shape, well, yeah. Lol. So many women I know who were involved in Ballet have foot issues because wtf is up with pointe shoes?
