| I'm finding bodyweight fitness to be a lot more motivating Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:31 AM PDT Quarantine guy here. Spent around 9 weeks in the gym at the start of the year and was still trying to go until it closed down BUT just seeing a number increase was kinda boring. Like yay wow i added on 2.5kg whoopdedoo The thing with bodyweight fitness is you get to work up to cool shit. Hell right now im just working up to doing regular pullups but it just seems more fun than the lat pulldown machine where you increase a notch every now and then Gonna keep going and try get a decent amount of strength this year then hopefully start working towards some of the really cool shit next year [link] [comments] |
| Is there a picture database of the exercises in the Recommended Routine? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 09:23 AM PDT Hi, since I'm new to BWF, I'm looking for pictures illustrating the different exercises in RR (as well as exercises not part of RR). I've seen the videos that are linked to, but it would be handy to have a sheet of paper that illustrated the exercises. Is there such a database somewhere? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Pushup EMOM (every minute on the minute) for an Hour Workout Posted: 30 Mar 2020 02:08 PM PDT I've been trying to do this at least every other week since quarantine and figured this sub might enjoy. It's a truly nasty marathon-type workout if scaled correctly. Pick a reasonable number of pushups that you can easily do unbroken in about 20 seconds (I initially started at 8) and do that number of pushups every minute for 60 minutes. Make sure you're locking out, chest to the deck, and keeping form on each rep. The first 30 rounds I complete unbroken and then I have to start breaking it down into two sets to maintain form. By minute 50ish, I'm usually breaking it into 3 sets and sweating it out. For the first half, you should have at least 30 seconds of rest between each minute. By minute 40ish, you should have closer to 20 seconds of rest. If you can't keep up with the number you selected, drop down for the next round. So if you fail at doing 8 pushups at minute 47, drop down to 7 pushups at minute 48. I've gotten up to 12 pushups and have pretty much hit the wall at the 13. I'm always sore for at least 2 days after this workout. I personally saw pretty quick improvement and was able to jump a number every other week until 12. This is definitely a mindfuck of workout for me but I always feel accomplished after finishing it all the way through. Pro tip: throw on something mindless to watch in the background. I usually re-watch Sopranos to keep occupied during the rest period. [link] [comments] |
| is doing pushups instead of dips gonna develop muscle imbalance in the long run? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 03:08 AM PDT i don't have a dip bar, so i am doing pushups and pike pushups. is this going to hurt; i was going to a park every two days to do the dips, but now i am stuck at home.

| Kinda new to working out regularly and trying to get into calisthenics Posted: 31 Mar 2020 06:30 AM PDT Hello everyone! So to add some background I used to do near to no sports back in 2017 where my weight peaked at 136 kg and after picking up working out on a much more regular basis as well as getting into some much much better and healthy eating habits I am now currently at around 94 kg for 1m92. I'm a male and I'm 25. I got quite inspired watching Chris Heria's youtube channels and learned about calisthenics, which I have somehow knew it was a thing but didn't know it was called that way. I learned a lot of movements and things about the body and I'm trying to get some progression started to get into that discipline which I believe to be my favorite out of any other type of workout. So far it's quite hard, as expected. I believe my core muscles to be quite weak, I obviously have a much better lower body strength than my upper body which might be why I struggle so much with some of the basic exercises. Few examples of things I'm trying to improve and struggle with: - Push ups. I usually to them from the knees currently because I really can't do many reps from the toes, it gets insanely hard to get back up very fast. - Pull ups. I'm still currently unable to do a single one. If I jump on the bar I try to let myself fall down as slowly as possible to work with a bit of negative but that's it, once I'm all the way down I can just barely raise myself a few centimeters for some reps and can hang just fine but that's it. It's an improvement compared to way before when I was heavier and couldn't even work with the negative. - Dips. Much like the pull ups, I have yet to do a single one. So far I do them with foot on the ground (or one leg raised at a time) and using a chair as support for my hands to progress with that movement. So that's about it, I'm trying to improve and learn how to do it best. My weight is still going down and I believe I'd be able to reach a goal of 85 kg with decent muscle mass if I keep my habits and workout as it is currently, which will obviously help me out lifting my body in some exercises but it won't be enough, I certainly need to develop strength in the meantime in my upper body. Hope that wasn't too long to read and I'm eager to hear about what you guys have to say and your tips! PS: I forgot to mention I'm obviously doing everything from home since everything is currently closed thanks to the virus and I'm just working out with two small weights, a mattress and shoes and trying to make do with whatever furniture I have around. TL;DR : Male, 25yo, 1m92 and 94 kg, weak core muscles and upper body strength, trying to develop myself and get into calisthenics. I'd love to hear some tips from all of you! [link] [comments] |
| In how much time will I get used to false grip? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 03:30 AM PDT Hey, I recently bought gymnastics rings and I was wondering how long will it take me to get used to using a false grip if I'm training it for about 10-15 minutes five days a week. [link] [comments] |
| Hand position in pseudo planche push ups Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:13 AM PDT I've had some trouble recently when doing the pseudo planche pushups. If I keep my hands facing away from me my wrist troubles me a lot so I started facing my hands towards me. Does the reduce the effectiveness of what I'm doing? [link] [comments] |
| I only feel the triceps working during push-ups instead of my chest Posted: 31 Mar 2020 10:52 AM PDT I've been doing push ups consistently on alternating days for one month, but I only feel the triceps working, and never the chest (even though I definitely improved, I went from being able to only do a couple to around 10/11). After exercising I also only feel soreness in the triceps, and seldom in the shoulders. I've tried using a wider grip, changing the angle of my elbow movement, but nothing. Is it normal? Any tip? If it matters at all, I've been working out at home for only a couple months, I'm 1.80 and 78kgs. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:19 PM PDT Hi, so I'm sure some of you are familiar with tuck planche presses. Basically going from a tuck planche to a handstand or tuck handstand using straight arms. It's a progression towards the full planche press. My question is, has anyone here done or seen somebody do a tuck planche press on the rings before? I've seen Gymnasts do full planche presses to handstands on the rings, but not the tuck version for some reason. I think it's a great goal and a cool and functional move. Would love to hear some thoughts on this. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:15 PM PDT I tried move 2 for the first time, and I was able to do the hardest progressions for all of the strength exercises for 8 reps quite easily, but I struggled a bit with the mobility exercises. I was able to do the frog but I had to take long breaks. Should I move on to phase 3? Or should I continue with phase 2 until the mobility exercises get easier for me? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:14 PM PDT I want to do this challenge because I'm a slave to my recommended YouTube videos and totally incapable of independent thought. My question is - how much less benefit would I see by splitting this up throughout the day? So, instead of doing 5 sets of 20 one after the other in the morning, I do a set of 20 when I wake up, one at lunch time etc. Someone kindly explain the science to me like I'm an idiot, that's my preference.

| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:13 PM PDT Leg workout ideas. I am a weightlifter, but am being forced to do calisthenics until gyms open back up. I tried a plyometric leg workout yesterday and im not soar at all. You guys have any good leg workout recommendations? I have two 30 pound dumbells which I have used for alot (and I mean ALOT) of goblet squats. Any other ideas or tips for legs would be appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Not trying to get huge, just tone my chest a bit... Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:07 PM PDT As the title states, I don't want to get huge, I just want to tone my chest a bit. I run, so I already do a bit of exercise, but I want to tone my chest a bit too. Just slim it down. I fell for doing 100 pushups for a few days in a row, but then realized that that might be silly, so I came here for advice. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:56 AM PDT So I'm 14 years old and I am very interested in learning some advanced body weight skills. I'm currently prioritizing front lever, planche, and handstand push-ups. I train front lever every other day, doing about 25 sets of dynamic and static movements each workout. I also grease the groove between workout day's. For planche and handstand push-ups, I combine them into one workout and do about 20 sets of different exercises for both handstand push-ups and planche. I do this 3 times a week and grease the groove between workout days as well. In addition to these workouts, I have 2 chest days a week, abs every other day, cardio every day, and I do a lot of leg exercises and stretch. Overall, I spend about 2 and a half hours doing intense workouts every day. However, I never want to workout and I hate doing it. I feel tired and I lack motivation every single workout. I don't know if I'm overtraining or not, but if anyone can help me that would be great. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 11:17 AM PDT Hey all! I was hoping to start a discussion about body weight skills that are a little more achievable for taller people. I'm about 6'5" (200lbs) and want to start a new progression, but not sure where to turn. Any advice from taller body weight athletes out there? [link] [comments] |
| False grip on smaller gymnastic rings Posted: 31 Mar 2020 02:50 AM PDT Hello everyone, since the recent lock down I finally decided to install gymnastic rings in my home to train from there. I was used to working with them in my local climbing gym and had no problems executing a muscle up much less applying a false grip to do so. Here's the catch; with the rings I bought both of these things just aren't possible for me anymore. At least not more than once perhaps. It's the false grip in particular that I cannot hold anymore with straight arms and it's really bugging me out. I reckon it has to do with the fact that I bought Rings with a width of around 28 mm, which I thought to be the regular size. Did anyone have this problem and if so is there any way that I can make this easier or do I just have to work on my false grip strength again? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2020 06:55 PM PDT Not sure where to start. So here I am, a 33 yr old guy and weighing 377lbs as of this morning. I have always been fairly active. Sports, sports, gym. Never been much for cardio unless I am tricked by it being a sport. I am currently a Building Maintenance Engineer as well as a Pastor. I am married and have a beautiful almost 2yr old son. I had started losing weight a year ago, started around 365 and got down to about 335. But recently my family has gone through some rough times, dealing with a miscarriage, then ectopic pregnancy, then my wife losing her job. So needless to say a little stress. I recently noticed what looks to be blood pooling above my socks. And stepped on the scale to find I am at my highest point ever. I want very badly to become healthier and slowly lose the weight. I am not a typical 377, I am very proportionate. What has worked for you? Where do I start? I come from a "big" family, and I am clearly the largest. Just want to be healthy to avoid pills and want to be around for my family. Thanks in advance for all the help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 08:16 AM PDT I love my thighs so it bothers me so much that my calves are bulky rather than lean and slim [link] [comments] |
| What situations should facepulls not be done every day? Posted: 31 Mar 2020 02:54 AM PDT Ive seen many people recommend to do them every day but what kind of situation would it be better to do them one often? Would one situation be if your doing them to build strength, so high weight? [link] [comments] |
