| Almost every abs exercise hurts my lower back Posted: 23 Mar 2020 05:20 AM PDT Sit ups, crunches, Russian twists, heel touches, cross over crunches, so almost all exercises except for the plank. So should I just do planking and nothing else? Should I just ignore the discomfort and pain? I heard this maybe caused by and interior pelvic tilt, I did have that but since doing core exercises it is starting to become normal, not completely there yet but pretty close. [link] [comments] |
| How are new recruits over trained during boot camp and still get ripped? Posted: 22 Mar 2020 06:20 PM PDT I often wonder about this when I'm really sore from lifting but still feel the need to justify working out. A lot of people will tell you to rest when your sore but what about boot camp? Don't they run those guys and gals crazy hard? Pushups, sit-ups, pull-ups and running all day everyday? From what I've seen, everyone after boot camp is shredded. I also heard that they deprive you from sleep so I guess sleeping isn't as important as people say? Maybe they have a super high calorie intake that allows them to train like that?? Any thoughts or comments? [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight exercises, is the burning good? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:24 AM PDT Hi all. Recently started working out my arms by using my own body weight (no access to gym or weights) I'm quite new to working out with my bodyweight ( about a year or so) and I'm quite a skinny bloke so not got much muscle anyway but I am well proud. Did 15 push ups today no problems. Personal achievement gained. Now my question is this - after the workout I noticed my biceps and triceps felt like they were burning up, and when i attempted to do a few more push ups, I could not do any more. I just couldn't. They had nothing else to give. Is this a good sign? Edit: Thanks very much everyone, seems I might be in the right track. 👍 [link] [comments] |
| Tips for activating lats during pull ups? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 11:53 AM PDT Always struggled with activation and getting a pump in my lats, and I really want to perform effective and perfect pull ups. Any tips? I feel more activation when doing Chin ups(maybe because i get more ROM?), should i switch? [link] [comments] |

| Influence of COVID-19 on Body Weight Fitness Posted: 23 Mar 2020 12:16 PM PDT Looking to research how the rise of COVID-19 has influenced body weight fitness, what workouts have become, and how having an online community is beneficial. If you would take 3 minutes to complete the survey I would really appreciate it: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QXG8BZV Thank you and apologies if I have misread or misinterpreted rules if this is not allowed.

| Strength, skill, mobility, flexibility... It's overwhelming me!! Posted: 22 Mar 2020 11:14 PM PDT Hello guys, I recently started the Recommended Routine hoping to improve my overall physical condition. Nevertheless every time I find something I'm lacking, I need to add another new exercise/routine. At this moment I'm doing: - Recommended routine for strength. - "Grease the groove" to improve my pull ups, as I have really bad technique and low number of reps. - mobility and stretching routine as I have mobility problem in some exercises and poor ROM. - I try to do Skill day so I can incorporate new exercises to my routine. - running about 5km twice a week for cardio Appart from this, I need to do specific exercises to improve mobility/technique in some exercises I have problem with. This is way too much, I can't exercise 3 hours a day. Is there no routine that covers everything? I know I should focus on one only thing, but the problem is that when I focus only in one, some problems show up that makes me incorporate new exercises. Also all these exercises are new to me and requires me long time to learn. How do you guys manage to train strength and cardio while improving your techique but without loosing flexibility and mobility? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 01:58 PM PDT On behalf of /u/SolFire - because he missed a few posts. 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?

| Extremely long rest between sets. Posted: 23 Mar 2020 07:39 AM PDT My goal is to interleave my sets with my regular desk work at home. Now for this to make any sense, one has to accept at very least that the evidence for warm-up for injury prevention is somewhat inconclusive. My regiment is 6 days a week, 2-3 exercises per day, 4-7 sets per exercise, reps mostly until form breaks down, occasionally to muscular failure. My rest between sets is at very least 15 MINUTES, during which time I work on the computer. Has anyone here tried similar regiment? Some of my exercises are pull-ups, one armed pull-up progressions (negatives), front lever progressions (1 leg extended 10 sec), push-ups, one armed push-ups, bulgarian split squats, etc. I also do cardio 1-2 times per week for 30 min - 60 min. I used to skip most of the exercises on the days I went bouldering, but for obvious reasons that is not an option in the current environment. Other than that I have trained like this for half a year now. I personally find this sort of training very time efficient. However, while I don't believe in warm-up as injury prevention, do I believe there is strong evidence for it increasing subsequent maximal performance. While I have made some progression, but I'm uncertain how much to attribute to this training methodology and how much to for example bouldering. And this is one of my worries, is there significant risk it's possibly holding back my gains? [link] [comments] |
| RR with Rings - some questions Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:07 AM PDT Hi Guys, I recently got my first pair of rings! I tried them yesterday just for fun and I understand now how hard it will be stabilizing on each rep. However, I want to add them into my RR as progression. My equipment is a pullup bar and some 2.5KG dumbbells and a pair of bricks, each one 5.3Kg (I count it as 5Kg) This is my Workout so far:
In addition, because I want a decent physique, I added
What I plan to change are
For Skill workout, I have some Ideas, but this should be a strength/hypertrophy based workout. I'm currently 192 cm @ 80Kg and want to be at the end of the year at 85Kg with low bf (12-16% would be nice) My questions are, is there anything I can also do with rings in this routine? I tried PU on rings and hurt my face as the ring slipped forward :D Can I add already some weight to my Ring workout? Can I add rings to my leg workout somehow? Like upside down squats or so? How can I check myself wether I have a good form on rings? I push my arms straight and my elbows outwards, but my wife sayd I wasn't hanging straight. Sorry for the long post and I hope this will not get removed. Stay healthy guys. [link] [comments] |
| Different approaches to hypertrophy via calisthenics Posted: 22 Mar 2020 08:24 PM PDT So in the wiki/FAQ this is the recommended hypertrophy routine: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/index#wiki_intermediate_to_advanced Relatively low reps compared to what is recommended here by Adorian Moldovan: https://www.oldschool-calisthenic.ro/hypertrophy-training-calisthenics/ Adorian suggest upwards of a 100 reps per workout for hypertrophy. He explains:
It sounds suspect but I am curious as to the sub's opinion. Any truth to his statements? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Any ideas for auto regulating training volume? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 04:18 AM PDT You know the news, everybody's bloody quarantined. I'm having fun with calisthenics again, along with the odd kettlebell row, press and swing. I still really prefer the basic movements, such as normal dips, push ups, pull ups, hindu squats, etc. So going for progressions and harder exercise variations isn't my idea of fun, and is something I know I won't be able to stick to. With that said, does anybody have any interesting ideas for determining how much volume to do any given day? Simply doing the same total volume every day or every other day, feels like an easy way to burn out, which is something I've done in the past. On the flip side, picking an arbitrarily lower total rep count than a previous days' amount also feels weird. Any tricks and tips? [link] [comments] |
| TRX + stationary bike: rest days or without rest days? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:55 AM PDT Like many people, I am basically locked at home because of the virus epidemic situation. It could be like this for at least a few weeks. Before this lockdown, I was used to hitting the gym 4-5 times a week. I am lucky to have a TRX mount and stationary bike at home. I have found two complimentary TRX workouts that suit me (pull workout and push workout). I am going through the following cycle: This is basically any movement I've got. No walks of leaving the apartment. I am wondering about the rest days. Should I incorporate some, like 1 rest day after 4 days of training? Or to go without rest days, because I am not getting any other form of movement. [link] [comments] |
