Weight for Bar Movements

Hi guys,

How much weight is recommended for mastery for the movements that use a bar in Handstand One? Any good rule of thumb % of bodyweight, etc?

Thanks!

Around 2.5 kg should be fine to progress, then build up to 10-20 kg over a long time on elements like shoulder extension and dislocates once mastered. I think that realistically the long term target will depend on your absolute strength of which you have more if you're bigger.

Like Petri said, mastery with around 5lbs is good. I recommend keeping all of the weighted bar iM's in your routine after mastery and increasing weight gradually.
