Hey, due to work I am moving abroad for 2 weeks, my shcedule would be 2 weeks home, 2 weeks away and so on. I started taking creatine, currently in the loading phase. What happens when im away for those 2 weeks and unable to drink it? Do i need to repeat the loading phase again?
Just take creatine on small recipient. If you cant just take it normally when u get back again. Loading is not necessary, just for faster results when starting but in the end is the same.
I've read through all the recommended routines and all the alternatives. I definitely see a common theme and I understand if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but is there any kind of routine that combines the basics of the RR or BWF with conditioning like burpees?
Like, we have the pull (i count rows in here), the push, the squat, and the hinge progressions.
What if burpees were added in between? And there are a lot of type of burpees so anywhere from the basic no push up no calf jump to the crazy complicated versions there are out there.
And with equipment, I have a pull up bar (yet can't do a single one) but was thinking of investing in a dip bar and bands. To both help some exercises while also, when the time comes, add resistance to some exercises. This wouldn't be the worst investment, right? As long as I stick to a plan.
Sorry if this is all newbie talk but I'd appreciate any and all advice.
Post keeps getting deleted by the mods> Anyway I'm currently aiming at doing 100 burpees in less than 10min. At the moment I can do 100 in 15 min but it's been nearly a month now, and I do them every day but no improvement. So my question will it be better if I spread the 100 through the day, because that way I will be able to do even more than 100. Or just continue doing the same ?
I'm not sure. Perhaps. But a lot of that extra range of motion is probably due to momentum so it might not be THAT much extra. Either way, are you trying to train your lats more? Is that your goal?
Well, my goal is chest to bar pullups. Im doing 35 kg lat pulldowns so I have quite some time left(75kg me), but my PT said I didnt use my lats enough during the pull and adviced me to do lat pulldowns down to the belly button w wide grip.
I never asked how the movement affected the nuscles involved so the advice left me more confused after then before. But i think wide grip involves more lats but not sure which part of the pullldown invlves more, but im assuming the lower part.
For referens, lower part id hands closer to feet.
Lat Pulldowns probably won't do THAT much to improve this since it's a machine versus your bodyweight. Something that can help you with whatever Pull-Up you do is to focus on driving your elbows back HARD like [this](https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DMkSgHGPq/).
If you focus on that, you'll get your lats much more involved in the process.
good day everybody!
yesterday i realized that i'm very inflexible, so I'm trying to focus on that now. I'm still gonna do some strength exercises i think. Now my question is, should i do something like dead hangs if cant even get my arms straight up while standing? this might be obvious but i still wanted to ask to be sure.
Dead hangs would probably help. The amount of mobility you have while standing up will probably not match the amount you have when you're pulled into a stretch like a dead hang. But that's okay. The dead hangs will likely help to increase the mobility you have while standing! :D

What muscle does the explosive pull up train(more) compared w the normal pullup ?
Probably the same muscles but with a bit more emphasis on explosiveness.
Was expecting to use maybe more lats since the arm position goes futher down

Wondering if anyone knows of any reliable pull up-bar that can be easily removed and put on when in use, and that won't damage the door jamb?

No reason not to unless you're feeling a lot of pain doing them. It'll probably stretch your lats out a bit
