Good news!
Hey all, I received good news today! My fracture has healed according to recent X-rays. Now I just need to keep working with the physio to get range of motion back in the finger and hopefully get pain free movement. So keen to get back into the skills that I’ve been missing. Just gotta remember slow and steady 😅

Great news!! Must be such a relief to get the go ahead as Ive noticed how frustrated you've been in not being able to do all the things you've wanted!
What are your fav quad exercises?
I recently tried bulgarian split squats after a while and damn the pump was insane. I also really like leg extension superset with sissy squats What are yours?

I do sissy squats and I can barely walk the next day!
Pull ups
@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert here are a couple of videos. The one that isn't banded is as far up as I can go and where I am at the top of this movement is where I feel stuck. But it doesn't even feel like a strength issue, it feels like something else, almost like a blockage?! A physio said I have a shoulder impingement but it only hurts in certain positions and when I do negatives. I've asked AI too, and it says it I am not doing the active hang part right, but I do feel as though I am pulling my shoulder blades as far down and back as I can, but it's obviously not enough. I try those Y to W shoulder stretches and feel it moves more then, but I'm obviously not under a heavy load! I ended up practicing pike press handstands instead as I started feeling very deflated!!

@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert stronger bands definitely make it feel smoother and as if there is no block, but it almost feels as though I'm not testing myself at all, like lifting weights that are too light. I can get the other videos that you've mentioned. When I use a band on my feet though, that feels similar to using too strong a band as it makes my hardest part too easy. I'll try the smallest band though as I haven't done this yet because it never helped me enough at the top!
😉 Muscle-Up Breakdown
After the last post on one arm push-ups, muscle-ups, and pistol squats, let’s go really deep on the muscle-up. This is one of the most wanted skills in calisthenics. It also causes a lot of confusion because people mix together: • strict muscle-up • bar muscle-up • ring muscle-up • kipping muscle-up • strength drills • technique drills So let’s simplify it. This post is mostly about the bar muscle-up and mostly the stricter strength-based version, not the big kipping version. We will go over: • the types of muscle-ups • the real prerequisites • the progressions • the false grip • the swing and knee drive • the transition • the most common mistakes • the best drills • how ring muscle-up fits in 🤔 First, what type of muscle-up are we talking about? There are different versions of the muscle-up. The main ones people talk about are: • Strict muscle-up • Kipping muscle-up • Bar muscle-up • Ring muscle-up For this post, the main focus is: • bar muscle-up • mostly stricter bar muscle-up • using just enough technique to make the skill work well, not a huge kip Why? Because for most people, that is the version they actually want. It builds real pulling strength, real control, and carries over better into advanced calisthenics. Quick story: I had an athlete who kept trying to throw himself over the bar with a huge kip every session. Once we took a step back and focused on strength plus a cleaner path, the skill stopped feeling random and started feeling repeatable. 💪 The real prerequisite: strength matters more than people think A lot of people want a secret trick for the muscle-up. Most of the time, what they really need is more pulling strength. Yes, technique matters. But the stronger you are, the easier the technique becomes. That is why I usually say: • the common advice is 10 pull-ups • but a better indicator is chest-high pull-ups • an even better indicator is weighted pull-ups A good rough sign is if you can do a weighted pull-up with about:

I can't even do a pull up yet, but I am trying to learn a bit of a swing first in order to get the momentum to get past the bottom part of the pull up. I wonder if this movement (although it's probably too much of a swing) will eventually help me get closer to a muscle up if I can get more chest to bar as I progress?!

@Brandon Beauchesne-Hebert I don't think my brain is made for any of this! 😂 I find it all so confusing. Ultimately, all I really want is to be able to do pull ups right now, but it's just the bottom that is so hard, no one I speak to can understand why I can't get past that bit, so it think that's why my PT has resorted to trying to get momentum to help me past that point! I feel very close to giving up! 😭
