I listened to Ronnie on Joe to imho the cause of this was Ronnie ignoring pain and continuing to lift heavy while severely injured. You might make the argument that you need that mindset to achieve what he did, but honestly it all came across as pretty reckless. Even silly.

Twice a week in my home gym until this lockdown, now like 5 times a week since i can't do anything or go anywhere

You should try not having your self esteem dependent on others approval.

I have heard this but I can't square it with my experience. My back feels pressure immediately. I am on my knees. Maybe I'm just weak? I've watched loads of form videos. I might spit my ab wheels with planks for a month and see if that helps. Planks are boring, I half bought the ab wheel to...

I think you should provide more details. Why are you doing abs? Why do you want to do this exercise. Do you enjoy it? If so, go for it. Are you looking to purchase this for a home gym? I can't see any benefit of this machine that you wouldn't get from a cable machine. See here: Or the...

My issue with the ab wheel is the amount of pressure it puts on the lower back. For me, ensuring that I have the lower back taught and locked means a reduced ROM that reduces the ab work. I could push it but all the online PT's say you are risking injury by doing so. A few months in I've found...

Just googled it and yes that's it, my name is better haha. I generally bend my knees as it allows me to target a bit lower on my abs. I had not heard of dragon flags they look insane. Front squats obviously hit the "core" my science remark was intended to mean: I cannot say if FS are better or...

I've been ab-wheeling for a few months and I don't rate it. I like an exercise I've seen I call "Leg lowers" though they probably have a better name, where you lie on your back and lower your legs slowly until you can't maintain your lower back. I work my abs for bjj though, so this is very...

This. I will add that the deeper one dives into Rip, the more ridiculous some of his as stuff is. Aside from technical debates he just over exaggerates everything. I listened to a short about steroids recently in which he was convinced very few professional athletes undertake a proper barbell...

Different testing regimes these days tho

Don't you guys listen to Robert Oberst? Deadlifts are bad now.

I have a bad back and I think it's useless for it, it just can't hit what I want it to. It's great for my quads and glutes though. Average on hamstrings. A tennis ball (or a specialist ball) works better on upper back

I have boxed in the past (I imagine a lot of us on here have) but I'm not a boxing tragic, and I feel there is an unfortunate truth to boxing - amateur unskilled boxing tends to be more entertaining than boxing of the highest calibre. This is particularly true of lower weight classes. Floyd...

When I boxed we (as a club) did a lot of hill sprints to prepare for fight night. One time the coach took a mini van and put it in neutral and made us push it up.

I have seen a former pro football player go ape shit against the instructor, 240lbs v estimated 165 and the instructor didn't have an issue finding the back and choking. As a blue belt at 171 I thought there was little chance I'd win if it was me and would likely end up hurt too. Also I think...

Not as short as your mom's

Any decent bjj school isn't going to kill you when you sign up. They will be used to people joining for reasons like keeping in shape (and not becoming a UFC champ) and they will push you accordingly. In other words, vision offers very good advice if you are locked into getting into better...

I presume you fail the box jump

Well that was fun. Thanks to everyone who contributed to my OP, I understand that my equipment and goals barely qualify me to post in this forum. I have reworked what I am doing, with the intention of rehabbing/prehabbing on my weights for now and moving to more of a calisthenics style...
