| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 04:27 AM PDT I've been struggling for about 3 months trying to get a good chest as a whole, so far I've gotten my middle and upper to look pretty decent but I'm not sure on how to properly work on the lower region of my chest P.s I don't have that much weights. I mostly do body weight workouts. Thank you! [link] [comments] |

| General conditioning for tendons? Posted: 14 Mar 2020 03:12 AM PDT I've just bought a rack for doing dips and pullups because gyms are all closed and I want to start doing some bodyweight exercises, but I've dealt with light tendon pains in the past doing this kind of exercises, also because my bodyweight grew quite a lot in a very short time. Any ideas? Thanks a lot. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:01 PM PDT I will be stuck at home for the next two weeks because my local gymnastics/weightlifting gym is closed thanks (but no thanks) to the coronavirus. I had started running the Smolov program for pull-ups before the lockdown. In the gym I used a dip belt to attach kettlebells of various weights, and my one-rep max was an added 20kg, with full range of motion, pronated grip, and clean form (i.e., no kipping, core is engaged, entire lower body is rigid). When using a dip belt, I loop the chain several times through the kettlebell handle, and the weight ends up being situated slightly below my hips, resting on the front of my legs. Today, as part of the Smolov program, I am supposed to be doing 10 sets of 3 reps with 14kg added. Since I no longer have access to a huge assortment of kettlebells due to being stuck at home, I decided to use a backpack instead, by filling it up with 14 individual bricks, each weighing 1kg. The weights are now situated around my mid/lower back. Boy oh boy, I couldn't do a single full rep with 14kg added! I am surprised at the difference. Can someone who is more well-versed in physics than I am explain why I am seeing such a tremendous difference? Thank you in advance! Addendum: I just followed u/GainsEnthusiast's advice to carry my backpack in front of me, and I managed to complete my first set of three consecutive +14kg pull-ups! His advice is obvious on hindsight, but sometimes I need others to help me out when I suffer a brain-fart. So thank you u/GainsEnthusiast! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 12:22 AM PDT Reading through the many past posts on doorway gyms/pullup stations, I can't get a clear idea of how they fare with heavy users. I'm 250lbs. Can I trust a bar like this, rated to 300lbs? [link] [comments] |
| What are some weight excercise to strenghten calisthenics progress? Posted: 14 Mar 2020 04:38 AM PDT |
| 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.

| How to strengthen your core progressively? Posted: 09 Mar 2020 04:14 AM PDT Hi, I have reached the point where I am no longer training for repetitions or weight. Even though I managed to lift over 180 kg on "deadlift" and 170 kg on "squat", I realized that I am doing it wrong and need to work on my workout starting on basics. I worked on my form in various excercises and now I realized that there is flaw with my abs strength. To keep my lower spine in check, I flex my abs as hard as I can. This way I literally can't let it overextend which is perfect. But the lower I go and my abs are still flexed, it's harder to keep them this way. Even without any weights. I need good core workout, the best would be the one I can do at home, I have some weights in case there will be need to overload them. I can't do leg raises yet, I am still working on passive hanging from the bar for longer period of time than minute. Right now I am using L-sit, Dip, Push-up, Pull-up progression and supply it with Bench Press, Overhead Press, Biceps/Triceps isolation standing excercises, some home shoulder excercises and cardio. I decided to don't do squat/front squat/deadlift/rows till I manage to strengthen my abs so I can keep my lower back safe and strong. I also practice diaphragmatic breathing to lift even better. Can anyone supply me with good core strenghtening workout with progression? Home workout prefered. [link] [comments] |
