Edit 2: I’ve got a TRX think (Cheap decathlon clone) but believe it or not - there is no-where in the house I can put it up. No doors opening the right way into open spaces. No room where the board is... our house is packed full of shit...
Tom, I want you to say hello to my little friend
Sadly the attic room (whilst large) has two desks (and set up) one climbing wall, double bed, wardrobe, three chests of drawers and 20+ large cardboard boxes full of crap. It’s the spare floor area that’s the problem. Squeezing the board in led to some moving around (jenga) and not sure I could make the floor space needed.
Why is the thread called Dec 4th 2020 to 10th Dec 2020? Is it a time travelling thread to give BoJo the chance to make decisions with hindsight? Not sure I’m up for reliving any of 2020, to be honest.
Where's that list of galpinos?Oh yeah here we goQuotePeople I hate on Power ClubCoops_13spidermonkeySharkCoops_13

Tom just trying to picture your board area, wouldn’t it be possible to set up the TRX hanging from the top of the board to be used with your feet under the board area and arms going out into the room? Is the issue more having the space to get your albatross span into the fly position 😄
Could still do I's and Y's ; no excuses...Its banging into the wooden edge of the bed (nearly underneath the top of the board) that worries me! But keep the ideas coming... apart from Ab Ripper Videos... bleurgh... Quote from: nai on January 11, 2021, 10:19:20 amTomIf you can't hang one armed shoulder engaged then work to that. If you can then work to engage from hanging (use assistance and do negatives)Straight arm so you're not cheating with the bicep. Shouldn't tweak your golfers (which I'd bet on it not being golfers but a postural problem).Good idea (and wondered about this from earlier posts and replies to Dunny..) was effectively doing this with my (new) 1 arm PU regime going from completely unengaged straight arm up to 90 deg. Obvs forget the last bit.. Good advice about getting a fist size gap between shoulder and ear (Duma?).

EDIT: have you tried to do IYTs on a TRX before? You might imagine that at the end of the movement you're going to be almost flat out on the floor but initially at least i'd guess that'll be profoundly unlikley. Could be around 30-45 degrees so you might find you have the space after all.
W - Finally have access to reasonable weights for fingerboarding, so did a max hang test. Managed +17.5 kg at about 77 kg BW on BM1k 18 mm edge.Th - More max hangs, increased weight to +11.5 kg. Probably too soon after the last really, but felt pretty well rested.
How does your test vary from your training sessions? ie different edge or duration?
Nai et alRe IYT what is the point of doing them if the aim is engage your shoulder when shoulder shrugs on a bar or edge is more directly relatable?
So when training you aren’t hanging at your maximum?
