My first month of ring training I felt like I had never worked out in my life. Everything was harder. Now two years in, it's the best training I've ever done.
My gym closed during a lockdown and I switched to bodyweight. Three years later I'm way stronger than I was with barbells and I have no plans to go back.
Negative pull-ups every session for a beginner is probably the fastest path to full pull-ups. The eccentric builds strength faster than assisted concentric work.

As a QA engineer, I can add some context here

The thing about small venues is that the bad sound can actually add to the experience depending on the music.
The bar muscle-up gave me a deep appreciation for how much the transition phase is a discrete skill. Strength is necessary but not sufficient.
Math rock and the guitar tuning question is where the genre's sonic identity is mostly located.
Respectfully disagree. Here's my experience: It's good but not as revolutionary as people claim
I added ring rows to every session when I switched from bar to rings. The upper back development has been the most noticeable physical change.
The ring support hold with rings turned out is a humbling exercise. I had to rebuild from scratch after years of bar training.
Source? Not doubting you, just want to learn more
My approach to skill work is: treat it like meditation. Show up daily, don't force results, trust the process.
One-arm chin-up training: I've been working on it for 2 years and I'm at archer chin-ups. The timeline is humbling but I'm not stopping.
I've been burned by so many pre-orders with bad pressings that I basically stopped.
I'm a beginner and this is incredibly helpful
Respectfully disagree. Here's my experience: I was skeptical at first but now I'm a convert
Training around injury is an art I've learned through necessity. The key is finding what you CAN train, not fixating on what you can't.
This is exactly what I needed to hear, thank you
Bedroom pop and the bedroom as cultural space is a more interesting angle than I expected.
