Joeri van Hoek:

What are the best general health exercises one should atleast regularly perform in order to prevent future exercise-related injuries?

These will be in part training related, but what are those that everyone should do, regardless of training-style? I'm thinking, back raises, face pulls etc.

Thanks!

Alexander Chaney:

Minimalism is a large topic these days and doing the least amount of exercises that provide the largest carryover is often discussed. Are there any exercises that come to mind that have huge carryover to most activities and other exercises that people should look to program in their training?

Two things:

1. Can you guys weigh in on the shoulder girdle benefits of performing handstand wall runs or shoulder taps? I am in Str Cycle 1 and am considering them as part of a finisher.
2. Will the yaad hold and yaad assistance exercises give me some gains in my free HS? I throw in some HS holds against the wall using yaads technique from the video but still have trouble with sticking the kick up (10s best attempt).

Luca Fabbricotti:

Hello guys, great work! I just want to start a cut phase, and i have few questions.

1. Which ratio of FAT / MUSCLE loss is reasonable considering a 25% calorie deficit and assuming 3 gr of protein per kg?
2. Before having the answer i hypothetically considered 80% Fat to Muscle loss ratio and tried to run some math targeting the 25% calorie deficit + 3 gr protein + exercise and it seems that i still have to eat a lot! Much more then i expected...is it right?

I've been re-read the planche and front lever articles. I notice they are referred to as skills. Why do you guys just call them skills when other call them strength elements, for example OG2 charts.

Hi,

In Podcast 1 Cole was introduced, but Yaad is still a bit in the shadows. Can you tell something about yourself and how you met Josh?

And what is the Dutch connection with Josh, and all of these Dutch athletes?

Thanks, Stephan (A curious Rotterdammer)

What do you think about training multiple planche progressions (isometrics) in the same micro-cycle (a week) ? Two examples would be:

Intermediate level athletes, coaches, and trainers sometimes debate the high risk / high reward nature of some rings elements. For example, some say training for and ultimately doing an Iron Cross is perhaps too risky for a casual athlete if they are not a professional, getting paid to perform, or a higher level gymnast. A second example would be German Hang Pullout to Inverted Hang with a Supinated Grip. When I do this element, I am nervous due to the intensity and risk (fear?) of a severe injury. I've been advised to do this element with a pronated grip, which is more comfortable and less intense, but for now, I stopped doing it altogether. The third example of a strength feat would the one-arm pull-up (OAP) or the one-arm chin-up (OAC).
