    It's definitely a jack of all trades; master on none deal... but isn't that what everyone should be shooting for? I mean if you only want strength, go into powerlifting or train for a strongman contest. If you only want looks, go into bodybuilding; so that you can focus on making sure your biceps and triceps and calves are in perfect proportion... and you get my point, so I don't need to list every other attribute. Obviously singling out one aspect of fitness (strength, endurance, speed, etc) is the best way to go for ONE thing... but for overall conditioning; variety is the answer. For example - If I only worked on running every other day, my endurance would go up greatly, but everything else would be lacking. If I focused on a 5X5 program that has squats/legs monday, bench/push wednesday, and deadlift/pull friday, the only thing I'm working on is strength... but where is the rest of my fitness coming from? Most people here work 40 hours a week and do boxing/martial arts on top of it, so 2 a days for 6 days a week is pretty much out of the question.

    Anyone who wants a crossfit-style workout which is directed more towards a combat functionality should try some of Ross Enamait's stuff.

    Ginger people can't do Ross stuff either.
    Are you really ginger?

    Yes my friendly friend, but you can always work in the conjugate method of training different aspects separately for optimal enhancement of all bits if you like.

    Anyway! It's ok.

    I can do muscle-ups on a pull-up bar, I'll try to get a video here soon.

    Sweet. How about one armed pull-ups/chin-ups? The muscle-ups look easier on rings because of the awkward twist on the wrists as you switch from pullup to dip, I reckon I'd break my wrists trying that on a bar.

    Muscleups on a bar are harder on the pullup, easier on the dip, on rings its easier on the pullup harder on the rings.

    Cheers for the advice lads, I've got a long, long way to go before I need to start looking at the appropriate technique. I'm only just getting the hang (no pun intended) of pullups.


    I can bump that old thread with an update though......
