    Did anyone try the pushup program that was posted here one year ago?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 07:18 AM PDT

    I looked at the old posts in this sub and found this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/a852op/program_to_hit_100_pushups_in_a_row/

    I am not planning to do the program (it doesn't fit my goals), but it looks interesting and i want to read your opinions about it. If you tried the program, how much did you progress with it?

    Grease the groove question

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    I'm doing grease the groove for archer pull ups and was wondering if I could do explosive pull ups to fatigue or if that would just ruin the GTG. Am I prohibited to do any exercise that uses the lats?

    Too sore to work out?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:05 PM PDT

    I made my own work out routine that consists of pushups, squats, lunges etc. it's mostly lower body focused. I did it two days ago and my thighs are still incredibly sore. It hurts to walk and sitting is awful. Should I try doing it again today? I don't know if I'm going to be able to without being in a lot of pain. I was planning on doing it 5 days a week. Is it okay to wait until I'm not as sore anymore or does that take away its benefits?

    One arm push-up and front lever progression

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:23 AM PDT

    Hey guys. I'm stuck in my home for The next two weeks.

    I'm looking into spending some time working towards the one arm push-up and the front lever. Do you have any tips/progressions/practical applications regarding these two movements? I have access to a pull-up bar and an adjustable dumbbell ranging from 1 to 15 kg, 2 to 30 lbs.

    Thanks

    Anyone else find dips harder than pullups even tho you can do more dips

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:17 AM PDT

    I can do about 16 pullups and maybe 30 dips at the moment but I find dips per rep much more i don't know how to describe it.... physically draining than a pullup. Any else experience anything similar?

    Leg power/explosiveness

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:28 PM PDT

    First of all, hello bwf, and thank you, i've found this sub very helpful since i started to train.

    Well, i've recently started training taekwondo again, and i was wondering what leg exercises i could do yo increase my explosiveness. I'm currently able to do about 4/5 pistol squats with each leg(slowly) but that's purely a strength exercise, what can i do? I mainly want to improve jump height and kicking power (besides technique that is)

    PD: sorry for bad english and formating

    doing only push ups and imbalance in my arms

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 10:56 AM PDT

    As the title says. I do only push ups (every day 200 to 300). My right bicep and tricep are big while my left bicep and tricep are smaller (I can't feel the bicep that well on my left arm). What's the problem here? Thanks in advance.

    Is my form good and some other recommended routine questions

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 10:48 AM PDT

    So I've been doing the recommended routine for about two weeks now and I need someone to tell me if my form is good.I will list my goals and thoughts during each exercise

    First pair: * Pull-up: Generally the hardest part of the routine for me. I can't do pullups no matter how much I struggle * Squats: I feel like I could do hundreds of these, but due to my knee injury I don't see myself going further in the progression

    Second pair: * Dips: I feel like I have improved over the two weeks, but it can be better * Hinge I have no idea what I'm doing and it probably shows. I usually don't do it.

    Third pair * Row: Another exercise in which I have no idea what I'm doing but at least it feels like my body is doing something. * Push-up: An exercise I was confident in until I reviewed the footage. The form is bad.

    Core triplets: * Anti-Extension: I can keep the plank for 30s but it doesn't feel like I'm solid enough. * Anti-Rotation Much like hinges, I skip this one because I don't know what I'm doing. I think I'll get a band and try that * Extension: This has to be the other hardest thing I do.

    The main reason why I made this post is the hinge. I don't feel like my body is doing anything while I do this exercise so I thought I'd ask if I was doing it properly, and since I was at it ask if the rest of the stuff was fine too.

    My goals are to do dips and plank consistently, without having my body feel like it's falling apart. My core seems to be week so while I can do the 30s, I feel like I'm falling apart. Same with the dips just to a lesser degree. I can do them, but I don't feel like I'm stable when doing them.

    Oh and do a pullup, as like the main goal

    Any and all advice and feedback is appreciated.

    Dip Progression with rings

    Posted: 13 Mar 2020 10:34 AM PDT

    I usually train using a Wendler 5/3/1 program, but due to Covid-19, I don't have access to a gym for a while. I do have rings and kettlebells at home though, so I'm about to start on a bodyweight program.

    Reading through the Recommended Routine, I see that rings are ok as an alternative for pull ups and rows. However, for dips, they aren't given as an alternative. Is there a reason for this, or is there a dip progression specific to rings that I can use?

    L sit

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 08:28 PM PDT

    What is a good L sit goal...I've worked hard to get to 15s of a strict L sit, legs straight, toes super pointed, arms locked, elevated shoulders the whole 9 yards but I've been stuck there for a minute and not sure how to move forward.

    Form Check Friday for 2020-03-13

    Posted: 12 Mar 2020 11:07 PM PDT

    As always, please give last week's thread a once over for any form checks that could use some feedback.


    All previous Form Check Fridays


    Without further ado, please post a video (or if you can only manage a photo for a static hold) of the move you'd like to be critiqued.

    Your video should be:

    • Oriented the correct way
    • Be formatted such that there isn't unnecessary video of you preparing for the move (keep it short)
    • Have the important bits of the movement clearly visible (multiple angles is always useful)
    • You may want to show a regression of the current exercise as well, but try to keep each video to one "set" of movements
    • Include the whole body
    • Of you

    Include in your post the following details:

    • Basic Details: (Age, Weight, Height)
    • What move you are attempting (be specific in regards to progressions
    • Indicate whether this is a max attempt (holds/reps), or specify what your current best performance is
    • Any specific questions you have about your form

    Rules for critiquing form

    • Constructive criticism only
    • You need to either be able to complete the move yourself, or have experience in training others to complete the move (no "I read an article on how to do these")
    • Feel free to point others to resources that address their form and/or questions if you aren't "qualified" to give them advice yourself

    If your form is awesome, consider posting it in the Show Off Sunday thread!

    If you dun goofed, consider posting the out-take in the Slip Up Saturday thread!
