    Hey, I hope you all enjoy Calisthenics Skills. A Free app recently updated with improved skill trees, new workout formats, and a growing exercise library.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 09:00 PM PST

    tl;dr:

    Check out Calisthenics Skills !

    • A free web app that works on both your desktop + your mobile
    • 120+ skills laid out in bite-sized trees
    • Progress tracking. Measures both completed skills, and max rep/hold count
    • 3 (+ counting) workout formats, with workouts generated based on your saved progress.
    • A growing exercise library
    • An approachable, engaging, and satisfying calisthenics experience.
    • Lots of content and features planned for the near future.

    Cali Skills

    Calisthenics Skills has been in development for 9 months, and is developed primarily by myself (in my spare time) with /u/suhaga15 also volunteering his expertise.

    The idea came about as I tracked my bodyweight fitness progress on an incredible community-built excel spreadsheet. The exercises on this spreadsheet had all of the exercises laid out like an RPG skill tree, which I loved. This spreadsheet did some other amazing things too like

    • Tracking progress in a satisfying way
    • Linking to resources for each exercise
    • Sharing quality videos created by lesser-known individuals in the calisthenics community.

    I wanted to turn the joy I gained from this spreadsheet into a comprehensive calisthenics experience. And I wanted this experience bundled in an app that anyone (even my grandma) could use. That's how Calisthenics Skills was born.

    It's taken a while to get to this point where I feel comfortable sharing outside friends and family as a serious app. Previously, I've shared it as a fun little web site, but it's starting to feel like it's more than that, or at least has the potential to be.

    It's taken lots of feedback (some pretty hard to listen to), a lot of coding, and lots of learning. But then again, we wouldn't all be on this subreddit if we hated putting in a little hard work!

    I've got so many plans for what I'd like this app to be in the future, but I'll leave that as a surprise for all those willing to give it a shot. ;)

    Note: I pay for the site hosting costs myself, so I have to make a few concessions to keep this affordable, the most notable being the ability to generate a single workout per day.

    I really hope y'all enjoy this.

    *Edit: Specified that Cali Skills is a web app, there's no iPhone/Android app to download. But for a lot of devices, you can save the app to your homescreen.

    *Edit 2: You can check out the skill trees directly via this link

    Pushups and Situps for teenagers

    Posted: 07 Mar 2020 03:14 AM PST

    Today I had an argument with my dad about pushups and situps. He said there was a study that showed that kids and teenagers under 16 that did pushups and situps can get dislocated shoulders(can't find study). I argued that benefits outweigh the chance of getting dislocated shoulders and that only happens when you have bad form but he won't budge and said I must not do them. (I don't do sit ups I know they aren't great).

    What should I do know? Should I do pushups when he is outside? Or should I obey him?

    Edit: I do the RR, heard from another post that RR is great for teenagers

    Is there a widely accepted manual that indicates exactly which specific muscles are targeted by which exercises that covers the whole body?

    Posted: 07 Mar 2020 11:14 AM PST

    Looking for a scientifically accurate training manual that is more thorough than "pushups are really good for arms" and gives you an exercise for each muscle or an exercise that covers an area of muscles that are individually labelled.
