Mike Rinderle Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) I figured @David_wigren could use a good laugh. I'm guessing, with a couple weeks of practice, I should be able to pole dance like him. Rocky Balboa would be ashamed of me Edited July 27, 2018 by Mike Rinderle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagingTrain Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Those are so difficult- especially for a bigger guy. I thought you did pretty darn good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Haha, I have to admit that you did way better than I thought you would! Maybe I’ll post something in response in a few days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Made some straddle DF attempts today. Take away some of the height disadvantage. Still U. G. L. Y. I ain't got no alibi. They're ugly, hay hey they're ugly! 248 lbs. @David_wigren Fat n ugly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dube Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Can you get more onto your shoulders when you're vertical? I agree that grabbing lower should help. I just started doing these myself about a month ago. I've been using it as a superset with bench press. At first I just tuck up to vertical, then I focus on the negative. Then I try to pull to vertical. Each rep I usually fold more to get to there. I'll grab a video next time I do them. I'm not as big as Mike but at 6' 220 I'm no gymnast either Definitely an attainable skill for big guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 While I’m a lightweight compared to you Mike, I’m still no pygme at 6’2” and just shy of 190 lbs. You’ll get it once you get used to the movement and start re-building some of the core strength from the past. Allthough not the same movement, all that horseshoe bending has for sure built up alot of latent core strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just buried under 50 lbs of blubber. I'll definitely keep working on them. Hopefully the core strength kicks in soon, because at this point I'm embarrassing myself. Haha As always, you da man! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dube Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Here is my best attempt. I didn't realize how tall you were @David_wigren! Makes all your levers even more impressive. @Mike Rinderle will you be continuing to practice these? I'd love to see where you're at in a month.

climber511 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Much better! Try to hold the "arch" on the negative portion - that will strengthen the positive over time. Looking pretty good as is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
