| National shortage of doorway pull-up bars Posted: 20 Mar 2020 09:46 PM PDT Hi everyone. I've been shopping online for a doorway pull-up bar and noticed that they are ALL OUT OF STOCK. Am I going crazy or did people secretly stock up on pull-up bars to go with their copious amounts of toilet paper? Makes sense but still pretty baffled. Anyone else notice this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:21 AM PDT I've read that incline push ups are beneficial for people trying to do press ups so just wondered if stairs worked for that [link] [comments] |
| Can someone help me find some exercises to work on chest muscles ? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:47 AM PDT I've tried looking for chest workout exercises but most of them are based on push-ups. The issue is, my left shoulder has had a couple of surgeries a few years ago, and it is mechanically impossible for me to do any push-up like exercise. So if any one has any exercises I could do, I'd really appreciate it. Edit: I forgot to mention that this was looking more towards bodyweight exercises due to the fact that we're in lockdown here [link] [comments] |
| What is your favourite bodyweight fitness App to keep in shape whilst staying at home? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:45 AM PDT Since the good ol' Covid-19 is shutting down gyms all over the world, I would like to find out what App you like to use and why! Let everyone know how much it costs and and what level the trainee should be. A lot of people may be trying out bodyweight fitness at home in the coming weeks. Let's give them somewhere to start!

| How do I retain my strength or even get stronger with callisthenics Posted: 21 Mar 2020 12:04 AM PDT So all the gyms in my hometown have now closed so this would be a good opportunity to move back to body weight training. Before I started going to the gym I did callisthenics for around 6 months and made decent progress using pull ups with variations, push-ups with gymnastics rings, pike push ups etc etc. Since I've been going to the gym I've got a lot stronger, and since I'm now on lockdown I have to resort back to training with my body weight however I don't want to lose the progress I have made in strength and size. What I'm asking is how do I retain the strength for my main exercises (Bench, OHP, squat, Barbell pull etc) or even better, how can I get stronger and go back to the gym and lift even more than I was without actually lifting. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 12:29 AM PDT So I can comfortably OHP my body weight for reps, but I can barely squeeze out a couple handstand pushups, even though since I'm leaning against the wall it should be easier. I also don't feel anything in my shoulders when I do these. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:43 AM PDT Heyyy I'm a 16 year old trying to get fit for camp in 3 months back again. I was wondering how to get belly fat off of my body and the easiest exercises to get it off of me. Is there anyway to do this without dieting? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:34 AM PDT I have pain in my left ribs from doing weight dips about a month ago. The pain happens whenever I put pressure on my chest and do simple things (sometimes opening a jar). The pain didn't start immediately, i did dips and the pain happened 2 nights after. I haven't hit the gym since. I went to the doc and he gave me naproxen and told me to wait for 2 weeks (this was 3 weeks ago). Please let me know if anyone has been through this and how long could the recovery period be [link] [comments] |
| Is it bad to do body weight training everyday? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 01:39 AM PDT I usually go to the gym 3 days a week but as it's closed and I've got nothing to do I might as well do more. I'm planning on doing: Push ups Squats Back and shoulders - no clue yet Plank, leg raises and sit ups And cardio Will I be over working the muscles if I do this daily? I don't know many body weigh workouts so I can't target individual groups like I normally do. If anyone has any I'm missing as well please lmk :) Any help would be great 👍 [link] [comments] |
| Do I need to learn how to handstand on the floor in order to learn them on parallel bars? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:09 AM PDT Title says it all, I'm way too scared to kick myself up to a handstand,but I feel comfortable in the position itself. I've been doing pike stands to strengthen myself,but I just can't seem to progress any further. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |

| Dividing Recommended Routine to PPL format, would this work? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 12:40 AM PDT I've been doing the RR for a while now and have come across a problem. The workouts are too taxing and time consuming for my current situation (newborn baby in the house now) and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to force myself to workout and my motivation is just gone. After the workouts I'm always absolutely wrecked which isn't optimal. So I was wondering if anyone has tried or is more familiar with the science behind this idea I had. What if I were to divvy up RR's movements to a PPL style split and doing that 2x a week? This means a push workout would consist of a warmup and the chosen progression for pushups and dips. Pull workout would be the same but with pullups and rows and leg workout would be ofcourse with squats and RDLs or DLs. To get the same amount or even more volume weekly I would add a set or two to each movement so it would be 4-5 sets (depending on the amount of reps done for the movement) per movement instead of 3 sets. I think this would be less taxing for the body and less time consuming per workout. I'm new to bwf so currently my goals are to learn all the awesome skills that go with this style of training, I'm also looking to get stronger and increase muscle mass. So pretty basic goals for anyone who trains like this I think. What do you guys think, would this be effective for me to accomplish those goals? Is there something I should add to the workouts? I do understand that RR is a proven program made up by people much more knowledgeable in this than me and it would be best if I just suck it up and stick to the program. At this moment this program just isn't working for me personally. I would much rather be working out for 30-40min 6x a week than 1-1,25hours 3x a week. All opinions and suggestions are welcome. Sorry for any formatting issues, posted with mobile [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 06:11 AM PDT Ive been using this variation of dips recently from the book Overcoming Gravity by Steven Low and i am probably level 7-8 and can do a maximum of 3x3. http://imgur.com/gallery/jl1k8F0 I have a few questions. 1.Does it target the same muscle group as a normal dip with its increased in difficulty and can it built mass and strength better than a normal dip would? 2.does the body must be all align to do the proper RTO Dips? Because my form are in a transition between a back lever(forward lean not straight line like the pic above) and then do the dip 3.anyone train this kind of dips? Or would you prefer other variations of dips besides this like L-Dip or Bulgarian Dip. I train it on Still Rings. Sorry for my English it's not my native language. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:52 AM PDT Prolly the billionth person asking this on this sub, but gyms closed and am really tryna keep my swole on. I'm pretty bummed about it but rather super excited to get into bodyweight workouts as I see it as a weak point in my training and gives me a chance to work on my core and stabilizers. I have an idea of a routine but not quite sure how to structure it. Would it be best to split into a push pull legs or a full body split when training ? Also really want to work on handstand and pull up strength so any help is very much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Rate my routine, which is based on the recommend routine. Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:25 AM PDT I'm working out for 1,5 years. I'm 18 years old, 5'8 tall and 175 lbs heavy. I created a routine for me, which is, suprise, based on the recommend routine. I would do it 3x a week, plus 2 Days, where I train legs and Handstand. My goals right now are Human Flag, Handstand Push Up, Muscle Up and Front Lever. 2-3 Min l-sit, 5-10 Min Handstand, 8x1 human flag tucked version, 6x3 explosive pull ups, 30x negative muscle ups, 3x5-8 handstand push ups wall, 10x negative handstand push up free, 3x5-8 tucked front lever rows, 3x8-10 chin ups, On my Leg/HS Day I do that: 10 min stretching, 20 min handstand, 4x6-8 pistol squad, 4x uphill sprints What do you think about this routine? What would you change or improve? By the way, I'm in a small calorie defizit to for losing around 18 lbs. Thank you for your time and kindness :) [link] [comments] |
| The "Rubber Coating " Pull Up Bar Problem Posted: 21 Mar 2020 02:31 AM PDT Hey, I've been doing calisthenics for about one year and my hands already had calluses. It isn't a problem when I have my workouts with the streets' bar but when I do it at home, the pull up bar is like rubber coating and it feels like my skin fonds onto my callouses. I feel more comfortable when the bar is solid and even rusty. What can I do for the bar to "toughen" it? Since my country has the risk for coronavirus, it isn't adviced to go out when not necessary. And last week I've achieved my first pull up and it just drives me crazy when I have pain because of the grip and can't have the satisfaction :( And the gloves doesn't help. Really. I'm proud of my callouses but they don't help me at this point! (sorry if this question was asked, but I couldn't find a problem like mine. Because normally I don't have problems with my grip and callouses) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:50 AM PDT Has anyone tried the Samsara Mount training plan? I believe the website and plans are relatively new and I just heard that as long as the pandemic continues the level 2 workout is free. I spend most of my exercise time rock climbing so I heard about this on a rock climbing podcast not too long ago, hoping to hear your thoughts! https://www.samsaramtntraining.com/covid19-free-level-2 (the password is c19free) [link] [comments] |
| Best workout routine for codvid quarantine? Thenx or other calisthenic program? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:28 AM PDT Hello guys, I have read several reviews of Thenx programs in reddit community, I have been going to they gym for 2 years, but with the quarantine I don't want to stop and I want to keep growing, so some weeks that I couldn't go to they gym I have followed Chris Heria workouts, so for this week I have made a plan of his youtube channels. Monday : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkS1-El_WlE&feature=youtu.be Tuesday:https://youtu.be/0z5hJYXAQp4 Wednesday:https://youtu.be/O3uA5pr9H94 Thursday:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odhJfd_gRio&feature=youtu.be Friday:https://youtu.be/srj94JCeuWw Saturday: Same as Wednesday I have made this plan by myself but not sure if it's good, I also add some exercise like row with elastics bands and one exercise for biceps on Monday/Thursday and I practice to learn how to handstand for shoulders, but I have no more gym equipment. So I've searched on Thenx web and found an intermediate program with no equipment and suscriptions is not quite expensive. But the thenx's reviews that I've read are not very good, I really like their workouts. I`ve searched for another calisthenics plans and I`ve found bar brothers, calisthenics academy and movement athlethe. Can you say me more programs and which one is better, I really like to start doing calisthenics so I think this is a good moment. I also think about thenx program because it teach you how to handstand and a good workout plan. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Need some insight (weights vs bodyweight) Posted: 21 Mar 2020 08:43 AM PDT Brief background: Started getting into weights (big 3 focus/powerlifting) about a year back, but without access/the means to hire a trainer for the big compound movements. I spent about a year just self-teaching technique (yes, I learn slow), and have only recently got serious and decided to adapt a real program with blocks/periodization, etc. But this corona thing started, so I've started doing a lot of body-weight stuff, which was what I used to do for the longest time before barbell weights... I'm starting to realize my muscle fibers/smaller muscles feel way more worked, based on the soreness level on subsequent days. When I mean bodyweight, I mean; push-ups (and variations), pull-ups, bulgarian split squats, lunges, nordic ham curls, dips. Is this "normal"? wouldn't the barbell weights make my muscles feel way more worked than simple bodyweight stuff? Could it be it's easier to naturally focus on muscle activation and therefore better hypertrophy? Or is this an indication I'm just not lifting correctly?.. (And yes, I'm taking considerations that it could be I haven't done them in a while, so they're "new" to my body again, but barbells never make my muscles feel this much pump) [link] [comments] |
| Helix/Figure 4 Squat Progressions? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 07:50 AM PDT I want to achieve this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf-0EupIn6g) but it's not a popular exercise that's written about. I have no clue where to start with this. Anyone have any insight? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| How do I know how much weight I'm doing with resistance bands? Posted: 21 Mar 2020 07:30 AM PDT I've switched to using resistance bands at home with my gym closing due to Covid-19. I like to record my reps and weight in an excel document but I'm not sure what to write for my exercises with bands. It does give the weight on the box (120-160) but since it's a range I have no idea how much I'm doing. Does anyone have experience this this and could give input? Thanks so much! [link] [comments] |
| Possible overtraining/ muscle fatigue Posted: 21 Mar 2020 05:10 AM PDT Hey guys, im new to this community, but not new to bodyweight workouts. I resumed working out about 3 weeks ago after not being in it for almost a year. its been a good return and im happy with the results so far. However, these few days have been a little troubling. Even after a fairly decent warmup, 5 minutes into the workout my arms feel as if theres no energy in them and i cant do anything. In addition, i have trouble waking up early even when i sleep much earlier than before( now i sleep 11-10). Could this be potential signs of overtraining/overreaching or even muscle fatigue?
