    Bodyweight Fitness Journal - free download for all (stay home & workout to slow the spread of COVID-19)

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 05:56 AM PDT

    Hi all, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the absolute shit storm the world is facing right now, I've made the Bodyweight Fitness Journal (track progress against the recommended routine) free to download for all, from http://bodyweightfitnessjournal.com - USE BROWSER, have been some issues via Reddit app

    I understand most people are gonna be stuck at home, as is the responsible thing to do, so hopefully this will help you still get after some gains without having to / being able to go to the gym etc.

    Be safe out there, take care of one another, don't stockpile toilet roll!

    Edit: some people reporting issues accessing the download on the "buy now" button (£0 cost) - try opening in a browser instead of via Reddit app (just tried it myself and works)

    Idea for the mods

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 07:52 AM PDT

    Because of new year revolutions, many people started doing fitness and began calisthenics. To make it easier for them to start, the mods allowed a month of beginner questions, which are usually deleted because their answer is in the faq/wiki.

    Now, due to the coronavirus crisis, gyms around the world are closing down and thousands of people need to switch their normal weights routines into bodyweight fitness.

    So i thought bringing this idea back could make it easier for all those people, what do you think?

    IF you wanna learn a new Calisthenics freestyle skill

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 07:27 AM PDT

    If you are interested in Calisthenics freestyle and wanna learn a new skill here is a tutorial for you.

    The dislocate 360 requires a small amount of flexibility in your shoulders and is an intermediate skill.

    I have made 7 steps to master this skill in one video, this is only for those who are interested in the calisthenics freestyle!

    How much strength is needed for the handstand push-up?

    Posted: 14 Mar 2020 02:15 PM PDT

    Trying a couple of years now to get the HSPU. I had access to a weight room until Covid-19, and now am returning to 100% BWF. I weigh 198 lbs. (90 kg)

    These are not quite maximums, but what I was doing in a normal freeweight workout until last week:

    bench press: 225 lbs, 5 reps

    incline bench press: 185 lbs, 4 reps

    seated overhead press: 140 lbs, 5 reps (behind the neck, 105 lbs, 12 reps)

    dips: 70 lbs, 10 reps

    Skills:

    handstand: 90 seconds +

    bent-arm HS: 20 or 30 seconds +

    crow to HS: 3 consecutive is my PR, but I always do ten singles per workout

    straddle jump to HS, tuck jump to HS

    one-arm push-ups (10+)

    10-second HSPU negatives (1 per minute, 10 per workout)

    HS to L-sit on parallettes

    L-sit to bent-arm HS on parallettes or 5" blocks

    Reducing my bodyweight by 10 or 20 pounds might be the easiest way to get the HSPU, but in terms of skills and/or strength, do you see any obvious gaps here?

    HEY YOU,

    Have you taken any recent pics of those sweet gains, your human flag, or those handstands off the wall you're finally holding?

    Do you have other bodyweight fitness accomplishments you've made and want the world to know about because your friends and family can't appreciate how hard L-sit progressions are??

    Note that we aren't limiting you to what we're discussing on the FAQ. Show us anything that blew your mind the moment you realized you had it. This may include aspects of: gymnastics, climbing, parkour, weight loss/gain, posture, etc. They are all more than welcome in this thread.


    We also want to remind you that we've been sharing your content on @redditbwf on both Instagram and Twitter. Help us grow our sub's social media in order to reach out to non-Redditors across these other platforms!

    Winged scapula

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 11:57 AM PDT

    I've been trying to get into calisthenics but every time I do push ups or any exercise really I notice that my shoulder blades stick out and my shoulders hurt like hell. Should I just push through the pain and wait for it to get better or should I go to a physical therapist for some advice and only focus on improving my winging problem before I try to do anything else ?

    Thnak you so much for taking the time to read my little problem.

    My situation

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 11:09 AM PDT

    Hello. Most of y'all know about the coronavirus and how it's been effecting everyone badly. For me my school is shutdown meaning I can't use the gym there, which ruins the workout shedule I have. I'm now relying on only body weight exercises I can do to maintain my muscle and build upon it. What is the best workout plan for muscle that is recommended? Some things to keep in mind

    •I'm 16, 195 pounds, and I'm getting stronger for wrestling •I don't have a bar, so I can't do pull-ups •I've been lifting for 8 months, so I'm technically a beginner but not the newest

    Help is appreciated. Thank you so much

    I'll have to stop BWF, again...

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 05:44 AM PDT

    Hi and sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil and made this post just for unburden.

    Let me explain why I stopped in the first time. In october last year I was starting the RR, made just a week and "from nowhere" I start to feeling pain in my lower back, thought that was nothing, but after two workouts I couldn't move my lef leg without feeling a lot of pain. I went to a doctor and he said that I was with sacroiliitis and told me to do some physiotherapy, after a month and a half doing 2 times a week I got better and gradually I started to get back doing physical activity (running, cycling).

    But now, after two months just running, I dicided to get back doing BWF, I was doing everything step by step, respecting my limits, doing the progressions, wasn't feeling any kind of pain, just a little muscular pain but this is normal when you get back training so... but last wednesday afeter doing the romanian deadlift from hinge progression I started to feeling that pain again, now it's very smooth, but I now that if I do some exercise that forces my lower back the pain will become more painful, so I didn't do anything since wednesday, and that makes me sad because I'll have to stop doing BWF again to treat this problem, and I don't now when I'll be capable to keep doing exercises without losing my lower back everytime.

    Sorry for the long text, probably with a lot of english mistakes, but I have nobody to talk about it.

    A goal after muscle up?

    Posted: 15 Mar 2020 03:23 AM PDT

    As a beginner, I set out my goal to get at least 5 muscle ups (slight kip) in a row. Now I have done it for a month and currently don't know what to do next. Feeling kinda unmotivated to continue training since I now don't have a goal.
