| Posted: 11 Mar 2020 12:25 PM PDT I've seen a lot of people trying to learn how to do pull-ups make this mistake. If you can do just 1-2 pull-ups it is a strength exercise that you're doing. The same as a 1 RPM deadlift or squat. You need to give your body time to recover. That's why people who train strength rest for at least 4 minutes before doing another set. So take your time, walk around, do some other exercise in between but don't treat pull-ups as just any other regular exercise if it is still a strength exercise according to your body.

| Posted: 12 Mar 2020 02:48 AM PDT Here's a link to the wiki entry about GtG. Benefits of GtG in current situation:
When just starting out, make sure to not go over 50% of your max reps for about 5 sets per day. Make each rep purposeful and crisp. And enjoy the gains :) [link] [comments] |

| Just a little everyday has shown great results! Posted: 12 Mar 2020 10:53 AM PDT So I've lurked this reddit and tried to get into workouts and stuff for years, but I recently I've started doing a couple small things that don't actually seem like much, but holy crap I've gotten results like I've never seen from anything I've tried before. Around new years, my girlfriend and I decided to start a calendar to help us solidify some good habits to improve our lives; meditating, journaling and such. I decided to make sure I do at least 10 push ups and 3 pull ups every day. So that's what I've been doing. I make sure not to skip days. I did a bit of research to make sure I've got my form right and all that and I've been doing usually 10 slow pushups and 3 slow pull ups, focusing on good form, every single day since January. It doesn't feel like a much, I'm not maxing out and I never feel sore the next day, but the good thing is that I can do it every day no matter what I feel like and it only takes like 2 minutes. Fast forward to now (March) and whoa! I'm looking kinda ripped! My arms are bigger, my chest is bigger and I can see some abs peeking through, it's crazy. I've never looked this good with my shirt off and it doesn't even feel like I've been doing that much. I could even see changes starting one month in. To be fair, I've been keeping an eye on my diet a little bit too. I've been trying not to eat candy every afternoon at work and I've been skipping breakfast a few days a week to do a bit of a fast. I'll eat breakfast if I wake up starving, but if I ate a big dinner the night before and I don't really feel hungry, I'll just wait till lunch. This is stuff I'd been doing before I started doing my mini workouts and I hadn't been seeing much in the way of results and to be honest, I've been a bit sloppy about it. I suppose if you do the math, it makes sense, compound effect and all that. When I'd try getting into working out in the past, I'd do as many push ups and pull ups as I could do, along with some other exercises one day and then feel sore the next day or two, so I'd probably only do that 2 times a week at best and pretty soon I'd get out of the habit altogether. I'd never really make it through a month consistently. So that means maybe like 50 push ups and probably 10 pull ups per week. That would mean about 200 push ups and 40 pull ups per month if I'm averaging one workout per week, but in the past I really haven't been consistent. I'd get a good couple of weeks and then fall out of the habit. In contrast, my mini workout of 10 push ups and 3 pull ups means 70 push ups and 21 pull ups per week and over the course of a month it's 300 push ups and 90 pull ups and it's consistently every day. Sometimes if I'm feeling it, I'll do some extra and I have a feeling that I'll up my reps as time goes on but I generally just do the 10 and 3. It's been 71 days since new years so I've done 710 push ups and 213 pull ups at least, so I guess that's why I've seeing results, but it really doesn't feel like I've been doing that much. TLDR; I've been doing 10 push ups and 3 pull ups every day since new years and the results are amazing considering that I'm never sore the next day and I don't really feel like I'm doing that much. It seems like consistently doing just a tiny bit every day works out way better for me than trying to do bigger workouts a few times a week and ending up not sticking with it. I just wanted to share this because I'm so excited about it and I hope it can help someone out. [link] [comments] |
| If you can do 6-8 pull ups in a row, you can learn the muscle up Posted: 12 Mar 2020 01:20 AM PDT I hear too many people say that you need be able to do 10-15 pull-ups before you can do a single muscle-up, that is not true. Muscle up is an explosive move if you are not doing the slow muscle-up, then it's another thing. So know that I tell you that you are able to learn the muscle up when you can do 6-8 pull-ups, let me help you with 3 exercises that you should add to your workout to accomplish the muscle-up.
Why you need to rest for 3 min at least is because we are building strength and not endurance. You need to rest up to be able to perform with maximum effort in every set to build the strength you need for the muscle-up. THIS IS FOR STRICT MUSCLE UP. This is my 2 cents for today.

| Neck Bridges for a few months only Posted: 12 Mar 2020 11:45 AM PDT I have a really, really skinny neck and was considering neck bridges. I know they cause bad long term effects but was wondering if it was safe to do neck bridges for just a few months until I've built my neck up to average or slightly bigger without suffering from the long term consequences. Thanks for the help. [link] [comments] |
| Need home workout advice for my sixth day. Posted: 12 Mar 2020 10:44 AM PDT Need some workouts for a sixth day. I workout with equipment five days a week. I want some exercises that I can do at home with no equipment and limited space. I currently do hindu squats and sit ups. Anymore suggestions? I tried hindu squats yesterday and really felt it in my legs, calves, back and hips. I want something that I can do without any equipment. [link] [comments] |
| What exercises can help with balance and coordination? Posted: 12 Mar 2020 05:37 AM PDT Hi, I'm a boxer-in-training and I would like to know if there are any exercises that can help with my balance. When I'm in my boxing stance and start throwing punches I tend to get of balance and lean to much to one side. I am heavy on my upper body and not so much on my lower. Besides the obvious solutions of losing weight, is there anything else I can do? Thanks in advance🙏 [link] [comments] |
| Any exercises I can do that'll work my back, sides, and chest without working my abs? Posted: 11 Mar 2020 10:12 PM PDT I have a stomach issue that flares up and worsens when I work that area, but so I'm trying to figure out what I can do without working my abs. I know ideally I should try to fix the problem, but I've been dealing with this for 7 years and my doctors don't know wtf it is, so I'm just doing what I can to work around it. It can get very bad, and started when I was in the best shape of my life, so working through the pain is not an option. [link] [comments] |
| Monkey Bars vs. Pull-ups and Chin-ups Posted: 11 Mar 2020 08:22 PM PDT Are monkey bars an effective replacement for pull-ups and chin-ups, should I alternate between them, or should monkey bars just be done on the same days as pull-ups and chin-ups? Any advice would be extremely helpful as I can't seem to find any info on this topic. [link] [comments] |
