CWH thats impressive. I'm working towards those goals. I'll be happy with being able to perform just 1 rep each of the master steps. I just recently healed a chronic rotator cuff problem using step 2 in the push up series for about 4 months. I'm strong enough for intermediate step 7 but I don't want to take a chance with the shoulder so I'm sticking with step 4 for a while. Were you able to get the 1 arm pull up?

I'm glad you're not trying to go balls to the wall and hurt yourself again. Smart.

No, the one-arm pullup, the stand to stand bridge, and the one armed handstand probably won't happen! We'll see. I'll be happy with 1 each if I ever make it that far.

Right now I've changed my focus to Complex, Density, and Tabata training. I have a pretty good mix of weights and body-weight training at the same time. I'm experimenting with this book I picked up called "Cardio Strength Training". It's a manual to be able to build muscle, endurance, and burn fat all at the same time.

The work outs are short and seem to be very effective. I've noticed my strength going up when I do regular lifting, my cardio is getting better when I roll, and I've lost 20 lbs since the 19th of March.

Search amazon for the book if interested. There are options for body-weight, barbell, dumbbell, and kettlebell training.

Nope I don't want to do that again. Lose too much progress and had to bet back on track after an injury.

I did the shoulder work out today. Today I was able to hold the frog stance for 1min 10sec. I got 1 min once last year. But then hurt my wrist and wasn't able to train it really. Just started back doing it about 2 months ago. My shoulders are plenty strong enough but its my wrists and forearms that have been holding me back.

I'm going to google that back you mentioned sounds interesting.

I have recently incorporated the chest training portion of convict conditioning due to the strong      recommendations from kazeboom. I also had nagging shoulder pains/issues for about a year from improperly training with the evil barbell bench press and also being hung up on moving the most weight I could instead of working the muscle. I started with ten weeks of proper form pushups doing sets of 20. I have since graduated up to doing sets of 12 with "ball" pushups. I am progressing in strength and best of all after just 15 weeks i am 95% pain free!! Convict conditioning = good stuff!

bus i think you're going to be at the one arm pushup way before me.

alan even though you're strong enough to do regular push-ups don't do them. start doing step 2 in the pushup series and do those for at least 2- 3 months. They're the incline pushups on your counter top. it will strengthen all the rotator cuff ligaments and tendons. When you're training at the dojo just skip the push up parts of do them from your knees and do them very, very slowly. I would just skip them all together. maybe do a plank for that time frame when everyone else is doing pushups

i am going to start doing the pull up training portion also. i have stalled out doing weighted pullups at sets of 7-8 with a 45# plate. im hoping that trying a slightly differnt motion it will spark some gains, plus it would be super cool to be able to do one arm pull ups!!

You do them with a wide grip don't you? Try doing em with your hands shoulder width apart. But either way even if your using a wide grip 8 reps with a 45lb plate is a lot. So I'm sure you can start doing the training for the 1 arm.

Rotator cuff report: Its still feeling fine. Its actually hard to believe that after 8 or so years of having problems with it that I was able to fix it with no special therapy or doctors. Just 4 months of incline push-ups. As of yesterday, for pushups  I'm now doing 4 sets of 20. This is more than what is needed to progress to the next step (diamond pushups).  Two weeks ago there was no way I could get 20 reps on the last set, 12 was about it.

My shoulders are also getting stronger too. I can hold the frog stand for over a minute with out shaking towards the end as much as a use to. Wall handstands are getting easier too.
