| All time time in the world for 3 months. Best regimen to build mass in that time? Posted: 11 Mar 2020 01:26 AM PDT I have a 3 month sabbatical right now and want to make fitness one of the core things I do, and am fine to allocate a lot of time towards it. My baseline muscular fitness is decent, I rock climb often, build is ~150 lbs, 6'0", mostly lean muscle. How would you structure your days and workout program to an maximize results in 90 days? I've read a lot on fitness and bodybuilding, however I'm not sure how to structure a routing when I can easily do 2x workouts per day, as I've typically done 3x per week. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 04:03 PM PDT Hi friends, Im 40 years old and I am thinking of buying a trampoline. I had one as a kid and loved it, and enjoy visiting trampoline parks when I can (although there is none in the town I live in). I know trampolining doesn't get much respect here, but I think it's great exercise to supplement my body weight training. I'm planning on using it 2-3 times a week for 20 minutes. I will be mainly doing various jumps ( knee tucks, star jumps, 360 spins, bouncing of back/front etc), but eventually want to learn how to back and front flip and use it to practice cartwheels. I think the benefits from rebounding is vastly underrated. Is this a good idea? Or am I crazy? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Mar 2020 12:28 AM PDT So I was doing chest flies on the rings tonight and had a good idea. If you're doing chest flies and progress them in the same way that you do PPPU, can you supplement your maltese training? Currently all I'm doing is working towards my full planche and throwing in some maltese leans here and there (I held a shitty slightly piked one yesterday for the first time, which I'm super stoked about!). Anyone have any interesting feedback or thoughts? This seems like a nice dynamic exercise for the maltese, and I think it might make my planche stronger as well. [link] [comments] |
| The Importance of Form as a way of Progressive Overload in Calisthenics Posted: 10 Mar 2020 01:01 PM PDT Hey everybody! As you might suppose, I have been training calisthenics for some good time, and it has been a very interesting journey where I've learned a lot of things about training. I am making this post because I want to share this information that I think is incredibly useful for everyone, especially begginers that may struggle a bit in some exercises. I will talk about progressive overload but more specifically, how importante is form when we look at it as a way of progressive overload. In calisthenics, form is one of the most important things in the training, and we should always aim for strict technique in each rep, to avoid any kind of injury and get the best results in strength and size. But in some cases, specially in leverage exercises as planche and front lever, it's hard to go from one progression to the next, or in other case as the simple pull ups where beginners can struggle, form can be highly be affected for the lack of strength or experience. Some people get stuck in this because they can't perform the exercise with "perfect" form and they just stay back from it. This is where form as a way of progressive overload comes into play. For example, let's say someone has been doing PPPu's for a while and tries to do Tuck Planche Push Ups. He can perform some reps but struggles in keeping hips at level of shoulders or something else (a bit of bad form), and since he doesn't have the perfect technique he just stays doing PPPu's. This can be considered as a mistake because he is ignoring the fact that he can use that lack of perfect form to progress and gain even more strength! What he could do, is to perform some sets and reps of the Tuck planche push ups (that he can't perform in a perfect way), and instead of adding sets or reps every session, try to improving the technique and have a better form than the past workout and keep going that way until he can perform it perfectly! This can be incredibly helpful to progress when you can't add reps or sets, and to improve in any exercise where you struggle with the technique, specially on planche and front lever, where sometimes it can be hard to progress, minimal adjustments to technique can make a difference. It's important to know that you can do this way of progressive overload if your bad form is not causing you any pain or problem with your joints or whatever, if it is, stay back, check for any serious mistakes in the technique or go to a doctor, your health is the most important thing. This also could be used for beginners that for example can't perform some reps of pull ups with good form, they can slowly be adding adjustments to the technique until they can do it with nice form and start adding weights, reps... This factor was really important in my planche training where I learned about it, really helping me to make good progress in my general training. I think everyone in calisthenics should know of this way of progress, and be able to improve their technique and at the same time gaining strength. We can improve technique from minimal adjustments like leg and hip position, correct muscle engagement, range of motion, and anything that makes you perform the movement better. I hope this post is helpful to the comunnity and everybody, feel free to ask anything about it! Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 04:02 PM PDT I am currently mainly working on my weighted pullups but I want to eventually achieve the OACU. I heard that one of the most inportaint things is conditioning for your tendons. So I've been doing one armed deadhangs for a while and noticed a lack of that "straining" feeling I got when I first did it. A week ago I started adding weight and perform the dead hang for 5 sets of 15sec each arm. Is this a good way to condition your tendons without specifically training for the OACU? And if not what are other exercises you would recommend? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 08:26 PM PDT Hi, i need some help. I'm not new to training, i've been training for about 3 years using both weight training (both bodybuilding and Powerlifting style of training) and Calisthenics. I've read quite a lot of books about training and i find myself able to programming a decent weight training Program but i am lackluster on Programming for bodyweight and Calisthenics skills. In my last period i've trained using a Powerlifting type of training but lately the gym is closed because of COVID-19 (i am from italy) and i started to training back using Calisthenics and i am enjoying it a lot, i have completed my Handstand and my Stricht form muscle-up. Now, i really want to train for more skills like the handstand pushups, one hand Pushup and the full front lever (i have the one legged one), my question(s) is (are): How can i train the new skills in the smartest way possibile without losing the skills that i have already got? Should i train multiple skills at time or is it better to focus only on one with the risk to loose strength on the others? How can i do that without neglecting the basic strength training (pullups, pushups, pistols, dips now and Bench press, Squat, Weighted chin-ups/Pull-ups, Deadlift when i re-start going into the weight room)? It's a tricky question because if i decide to train two or more skills together i have to split them on different days to avoid over training (expecially if both of the skills are push or pull moves) but i feel like i'm progressing too slowly, in the other hand if i focus only on one skill (for example Handstand Pushups) i'm concerned abot Gettin waker on skills i don't train (maybe an "old" one like MUps) Sorry for the long post and for my bad english, thank you so much for reading this.

| Why does it feel like my abs are ripping when doing an work?? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 12:32 PM PDT So for example if I do a set or two of dead bugs I get the nice burning feeling during it, but usually my 3rd/4th set and on word it feels like it's actually ripping or hurting my abs. I'll go on to a different exercise and same thing. I feel like my abs can are fully exhausted after just two or three sets of dead bugs then from then on I'm just hurting myself. [link] [comments] |
