I've been doing the shoulder dislocates using a firm wooden stick (no extra weight) for a couple of months now. I'm down to 60 cm between the thumbs using a regular pull-up grip. My shoulders are approximately 50 cm wide. My dislocates with the dorsal grip are at the same width (60 cm), but it takes a little more effort strength-wise to complete 10 good reps.
I'm wondering at this point if it's better for me to continue narrowing the grip to shoulder width (50 cm) without extra weight, or if I should add some weight and start with a wide grip again. The recommendations on the forum from "continue to shoulder width" to "shoulder width plus one hand width".
My background: I started with F1/H1 at the beginning of 2015. Progress has been very slow so far, mostly due to lack of strength-endurance and poor hip and thoracic mobility. I haven't mastered any of the F1 PEs yet. I'm stuck at week 9 with most of them. I'm doing better with free handstand (PE2 week 9), but strength-endurance is holding me back here as well. In April I added all three stretch courses to my workout and cut back on the F1/H1 work for recovery reasons. I do F1/H1 exercises now once a week in the the F7 format in one session. Between the F7 sessions which are usually a week +2 days apart from each other I will do the stretch sessions plus H1.
