    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.

    Teenager home training

    Posted: 09 Mar 2020 10:57 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm a 16yo 60kg guy that has gone to gym for 1 year. The gym is currently closed for the coronavirus and I think that it will open in April or May, so I want to do something at home, otherwise I would lose strength. At gym I do a workout for the strength (so few repetitions).

    What can I do? (I don't have any gym equipment at home)

    Back Lever vs. Front lever

    Posted: 09 Mar 2020 09:28 AM PDT

    I started doing front lever work in my row progression of the RR, but I was wondering if I could do back lever work instead because I want to start on OACU

    Lack of recovery time

    Posted: 09 Mar 2020 12:13 PM PDT

    I work a intense manual labor job (workover oil rig) and I work 17.5 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. Is it even worth lifting weights since my recovery time is nil. I'm already averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night after I shower, eat, and decompress a little

    How to decide reps/sets?

    Posted: 09 Mar 2020 12:06 PM PDT

    I'm just getting back into strength training for the first time since college (about 6 years). Previously, I had lifted weights with a focus on functional strength high rep counts at a lower weight. I had a functional understanding of how to measure my reps/sets based on my max weight in a given lift. Now that I'm starting from scratch with bodyweight, I have NO idea how to build a workout or how to gauge how many reps or sets to do. My last two attempts have left me so sore that it took me a week to recover enough to work out again. Can someone give me some guidance?

    When should I(f,28) start doing strength training?

    Posted: 09 Mar 2020 12:04 PM PDT

    Hi everyone! I used to be a work out freak I used to cardio I loveee strength training but somehow i stopped for some unexpected situation that brought into my life.. I got into depression. Kind of severe..I'm still healing.

    And I ended up gaining around 50lbs.

    One week ago, I somehow had the courage to hit the gym again. But thing is i really could walk on the treadmill at 4.5km/hr max for like 20/30min..I get out of breath n I don't have that stamina anymore..and I feel heavy

    Today was my 8th day..and I tried to do some squats. But I barely could bend as I lost the flexibility and all.

    So I was wondering when should I start doing strength training since I love doing it more than cardio..

    Ps: I go to the gym and I just walk on the treadmill

    Please advice me how n when I should start weight training again?

    Cheap, Homemade Pull-up Bar Ideas?

    Posted: 09 Mar 2020 05:02 AM PDT

    I want to have a pullup bar.

    I dont trust those ones you put in your door-frame (I dont think it'd support my weight anyway).

    Is there something like a clothes-rack that I can somehow reinforce to do Pull-ups on?

    If there are any engineers out here, how could I macgyver 3 of these https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/rigga-clothes-rack-white-50231630/ to support a 93kg person?

    thanks everyone,
