what’s ur medium-longterm goal boss?

Medium is bouncing back to 78kg (at 76kg currently)

Long honestly is just keep having fun focusing on all round fitness, mixing progressive weight training/callisthenics, boxing and some cardio. Hopefully im able to keep this flow going, not being totally committed to one of all those things kinda helps I have to say.

Only boxing, all my life together I should be at approximately a year of experience. I’m not that advanced nor ready to fight matches (not planning to do that anyway). Now I’m on a great streak since April though, going almost every week twice.

Nice bro, keep at it.

Fully stretched, trying everything to avoid cheating and ending up with my chin above the bar I managed to do 15 pull ups in a row today. Barely made the last one.

I heard that fully streching with pull ups is horrible for your shoulders, your opinion please @GordoDeCentral

I peaked at 220/100kg last week and felt like crap lol

Very poor technique for bb imo this is how i do it, but i feel it better weighted

In a calorie surplus — around 3k'ish? Mostly just made sure I hit 200g protein a day

He’s missing the entire upper range of the pull-up…

You look like Khal Drogo bro.

Keep in mind I’m not talking about the technique. I’m asking wether fully stretching your arms while doing pull ups is bad for your shoulders

I don't see how that could be the case tbh, if anything stretching it like that helps whenever i feel a little something in the back of the shoulder.

That is godawful technique, but the issue isn't that he goes down as much as he does. You want the movement to be controlled. All the way down. All the way up. @GordoDeCentral 's video is much better.

Posted this in the shoe thread but might get more answers here.

Need a new pair of running shoes. Preferably a pair with max cushion to avoid shin splints, knee pain and serious fatigue as my main focus is MMA.

Any recommendations?

So far I've been interested in:
1.New Balance more foam v4
2. Saucony Triumph 20

I love my Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit 3’s. Best running shoes I’ve ever had.

I use the New Balance Fresh Foam pretty regularly. I think More Foam is the more cushiony version so I’d say go with that if they already on your list.

Got the Hoka One One Carbon X2 in 2020 and liked them. I do mostly gym than cardio tho
