Tors Anything Can Be Done Workout Log - Norway Edition

Been doing handstands since late 2004. Nothing serious, just free stand. So don't expect good form

Pardon my bad English. I'm still Norwegian

I don't count weeks as in 7 days since sometimes I need a day rest on or off. So I only count finished cycles. I'll use Steady State on both On static and Strength training hoping for a 8 week cycle as a normal.

I pretty much think that sums it up. This program is built on what I've learned from BGB book by Coach Sommers him self. So please, any tips, insights or anything positive critique is highly accepted.

Really loved the video man! Looks very tiring though! Might try making a video like that.

Thanks! It was tiring making it, used about 6hours taping cams and doing takes. About 4 of them on my hands.

I'd love to see. My videos are greatly inspired by Tim "LiveWire" Shieff

Cool to see some norwegian guys here. Looks like a good routine if you can handle that much. Eat well

Du studerer ved fengselsskolen? Har faktisk tenkt Ã¥ søke den utdanningen selv, men litt usikker pÃ¥ et par ting. Kan jeg spørre hva som var grunnen  til at du ønsket Ã¥ jobbe som fengselsbetjent?

Yes, I've seen his videos and that sounds incredibly tiring!

Thanks, yea so I thought too. Been training for 1 to 2 hours 4 days a week for the past 3 years. Some of these days are pretty light too, but as always I'll just make changes if needed

I vote for you making a handstand video, doing something regular It's tiring but entirely worth it, my opinion!

Todays session! Comments appreciated - mostly critique where needed.

One Armed Handstand

The rows and pullups feels a bit easy. Before my elbow went crazy (infected tendon of the tricep) I managed several attempts of MU without kipp or speed . However engaging my shoulderblades on the bottom position hanging in a L is tricky. I think it's getting better

Front lever and  and Olympic lifts!
I'll probably do a cycle of flat tuck FL before straddle.

Olympic lifts where heavy today due my legs. Couldave pulled 105kg+ in press. But legs couldn't carry more than mere 97.5kg.
My PR is 115 so not a good day. However I worked it up 10 sets before the 100kg attempt which i'm not used to. This will however get better as I get used to this new way of blocking training olympics

Your handstand video was impressive and funny! Was it GoPro camera?

Second video, on your backlever turn your palms down.

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a gopro used for the overshot filming, and a Ipad 3rd gen for anything else. 

I tested your tip, and I felt more strength. However hyper-extending my arms hurts a bit and they look like they broke during the movement. Just watch the video

Tor, love your vids. Just a heads up from someone who injured their elbows doing this - palms down back lever is way harder on your elbows that palms up.

 

Consider dropping down a few progressions until you no longer feel discomfort and slowly working back up to straddle. You are definitely hyperextending, which means your elbows will need more time to adjust to the demands placed on them.

 

A few weeks of tuck BL or even german hang might save you a lot of lost injury time.

Suggestion noted, and I will definitely take your advice. Although there is the usual stiffness and soreness today It would be a stupid decision to continue with straddled progression. 

Does the hyperextension have any other flaws with it? Or is it just a bit longer period for the elbows to adjust?

Tuck planche looks almost perfect. You need to TUCK though. You're almost in an advanced tuck planche now, you don't want that just yet.

WAY TO SHABBY! Looking forward to improve them all the coming weeks

Note: I'm training for marathon this summer. That's why all the running.

I like the vids! Respect for going back to basics. They are basic but when you don't do them  much they're tough.

With the German Hangs (what you call Hungarian hangs  ) make sure you supinate your palms (palms down). A neutral grip doesn't really stress the biceps tendon much - the very thing we need to condition.

You can lower the height of the ring to about face level (or whatever heigh necessary) then use your feet to spot. You don't want to push your chest down, you want to have the chest and hips up and working with the rings lower lets you do this.

Like slizzardman shows here:

I did my german hangs and BL pronated - in November I started doing foot assisted supinated German Hangs with a lot of discomfort - now I have an easy 30 seconds unassisted with my hips pushed forward. I'm now working BL Tuck with supinated grip.

Hey man! And thanks for in dept post I love good criticism. Makes me better And yea, it's kind of hard going back to the very very basics, but what the hell; I need a good warmup routine that I stay with and in the end, something similar to this it is going to be

Thanks for the tips on germans, very good tips. I have a tendency to go neutral or pronated grip during hangs. But I'll for sure do supinated training from now on and thanks for the video!

Now that last part really motivates me, ain't that long since november

Thanks man!

A few improvements, only on one day. I think it's the brain tricking me, getting more used to hold out those last seconds.
Curls and Dips was on program. Problem was my hands couldn't hold rings anymore - too tired - so I didn't dare curls. I missread and did the dips the day before. Therefor, only warmup sequense was done

This weeks progress

A little cute video too
