   I've unlocked the semi-tucked front lever.
   
   I'd been grinding front lever negatives on rings then when I went to try on my palette it just happened easily. Rings are god tier.

     @s8n how come? because the front lever is like one the holy trinity of calisthenics (front lever, planche and muscle up). You can hold (isometric) but also you can do front lever rows.
     
     It's a lot of straight arm/shoulder/lat strength, plus core (but usually not the bottleneck).

     @crunklord420 how come, because you have to hold them stable laterally?

     @s8n oh the point about rings is that it makes everything significantly harder because you have to generate all your own balance and stability instead of just torquing on the bar. Longer the straps, the harder it is.
     
     Going from the rings to the bar is like a huge ego boost because everything is way easier.

     @crunklord420 oh I meant why were the rings specifically the key to unlocking this position

     @s8n like doing a push up on rings is like 6x harder than a normal push up.

     @crunklord420 oh I get it, you can use the rings close to the ground. Damn that's a great idea

     @s8n yeah, if you're looking at rings I recommend the carabiner style, straps are about 8.5 feet long. I find them convenient to setup and take down. The steel carabiners make me think the stitching of the strap would rip before anything else.
