| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 10:31 PM PST I'm 16 years old and I've been training for 14 months in calisthenics. Started to focus on one arm strength training about 3 months ago a lot more. Just got my weighted one finger pull up. Form needs work but I think it's not that bad. I do one finger pulls with the "rock climber" OAP form. Stats: 16 years old 5'5"/165cm 120lbs/54kg Training calisthenics for 14 months Workout 5-6 days per week for 1-3 hours https://www.instagram.com/p/B9QtK99j2yA/?igshid=q3m8dc2phu51 [link] [comments] |
| Are there any disadvantages to training full body 6 days a week? Posted: 03 Mar 2020 11:04 AM PST I've recently got into this habit, focusing on pull ups and dips but not going to exhaustion everyday. What would the benefits of splitting up my routine be? [link] [comments] |
| Is the typewrite push up worth it? Anyone else not feeling great chest activation? Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:16 PM PST I have been training calisthenics for a few months now and can do 10 typewriter push ups side to side (5 on the left 5 on the right) however I'm not feeling great pectoral activation and I'm starting to doubt the legitimacy of the exercise. Can anyone recommend a similar movement? [link] [comments] |
| Female trying to get pull ups (to band or not to band, that is the question (s)) Posted: 03 Mar 2020 01:12 PM PST A little about myself 24, female, trying to go into USMCOCS after grad school (summer 2021 or after) . I haven't asked there but, really, it is mainly guys who all say is to do pull ups, but my questions stems really into how to do these if I cannot get one (yet). All in all, I'm trying to get 10 +, but that starts with getting one. I have probably over an year to do so, but I can only do one chin up (after only two weeks of the Armstrong program, and it was very exciting for me!!!) I'm still doing the Armstrong program. However, I realized that chin ups will not be beneficial for me when it comes to getting over obstacles. So I decided to switch my hand grip to palms facing away and use bands for the workouts (I try to stay away from the big green one and stick to a thinner one, but today my arms were sore.) I also have a bar above my door to my dorm room and I do a chin hold when I go out and attempt a pull up hold when I leave. However, I can barely hold my chin above the bar in the palms facing away phase, if at all sometimes. Q1) how can I get better at this hold in the pull up position besides just keep on trying and falling back very quickly? Q2) are bands even something I should be using in the program to help me achieve my goals? Q3) I do the vertical band, but I saw someone using one horizontally (like on catches), what is better here? I would say I'm on the heavier side of a healthy female, 5'8, mid 160s. I'm trying to cut from my college athlete muscle life. I used to lift every day, and I still do, but being a former college athlete I would follow those type of lifting protocols, but now I'm going for more of the common lifts but focusing on body weight workouts between or before and a ton more running (deadlift, back squat, power cleans and bench press). I always start my morning with push ups, and then later in the day I do pull ups before my workout. Anything helps. I want to get pulls ups so bad. I'm very committed, so give to me straight.

| Aren’t imbalance? Pushups vs pull-ups Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:58 PM PST I am 6'2, 205lbs. I've been working out somewhat regularly for about 10 months and seen some decent results. I've recently started preparing for a fitness test for a job and I've noticed that I can complete about 40-45 pushups and sit-ups in succession but only about 1-1/2 pull-ups before I physically just can't do anymore. Is this normal or do I have some serious strength imbalances? [link] [comments] |
| Abs so bad lower back hurts from pullups Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:32 PM PST I'm having alot of trouble with my abs, I can't seem to get any exercise involving them right, they all hurt my lower back and I don't feel anything in my abs from exercises involving them, and I think its also stopping me from progressing in other things like pullups (I get lower back pain assuming its because of my abs being non-existant). I think my problem is APT (Anterior pelvic tilt) related, does anyone have any recommendations for what I should do? [link] [comments] |
| Skinny-fat situation (bulk or cut?) Posted: 03 Mar 2020 12:25 PM PST I've been working out consistently since last September and I'm unfortunately skinny fat, weighing in around 56-57ish kg and 174cm (really close to 5'9). I have really skinny arms and fairly skinny legs, however, a lot of my fat is situated in my belly, so I'm unsure of what to do. I'm currently following an upper/lower split if that helps, and I have noticed gains in terms of muscle mass, the real question is whether to bulk or cut? [link] [comments] |
| Exercises/activities to help prevent injury when trying new skills Posted: 02 Mar 2020 12:34 PM PST So I was wondering if anyone knows exercises that could help prevent me from injuring myself when trying new skills, like flips, handstands, and parkour. I'm currently not fit enough to do these skills (except the handstand and some basic parkour), but while I'm building up the strength and skill to learn them, I'd like to also condition my body to prevent injury when I'm trying to learn them. Just to be clear, I'm not asking for advice like stretching, this is more a request to prevent hurting myself too badly if I land badly. I hope it never happens, but I'd like to be prepared in case. I'm quite clumsy in general too so becoming more resistant to injury will go a long way. Thanks for the help :] [link] [comments] |
| The REAL tricks to advancing front lever rows Posted: 03 Mar 2020 08:28 AM PST I think my first post on this sub was about how to progress front levers and front lever rows. The community quickly pointed out that I wasn't making much sense, and after a while I realized that I was definitely wrong. After the success that I talked about in my previous post, I abruptly lost my progress again. Now I finally know what's up, so I'm back to redeem myself with the real tips. Don't use parallel barsThis is what caused the sudden jump in progress that I had before - I had been doing rows on the monkeybars at the local park because I know that they feel good for pull-ups, and then I did a workout using the single bar that I have at home. This makes a big difference because your wrist doesn't move as far or as smoothly at a neutral angle. I think it changes something in your upper arms too. If you have rings, turn them so that your palms face the same way, forward or backward, as long as they don't face each other. I've been doing a biceps-curl twist when I row on my rings, and it feels fine, but I'm not sure if there's any point on an exercise with so little elbow work. This is probably the most important tip here, but it's easy to overlook when you ask for advice. Retract your shoulders properlyAt the beginning of the move, your shoulders are hunched forward (protracted). As you go up, they need to move back (retract). If you're doing the exercise for your lats and stopping when your shoulders reach your back, then they only retract so far - maybe halfway. The key is syncronizing your shoulder movement with your arm movement. The crucial difference between rows and pull-ups is that in pull-ups you want to depress your shoulderblades, not necessarily retract them. Depressing your shoulders when you do a row (at least a bodyweight row) seems to only make things worse. In fact, a slight shrug might help, which is kinda opposite to what I said in my first post. Bend your elbows enoughIf your arms are too straight at the top, then your back is creating a lot of horizontal motion that you don't need. It becomes more like a Hannibal banger, which is probably going to be much harder. Bending your elbows more can keep your body moving vertically or even a little bit forward, which your lats don't need to work for. Again, this is almost opposite to what I said before. And, you probably know this already, but make sure that you have a clean front lever at the bottom to make sure that your strength will transfer to the next variation. [link] [comments] |
| Bit overwhelmed, beginner equiptment Posted: 03 Mar 2020 11:00 AM PST Bit of decision fatigue. Ive started the recommend routine fromnthe bwf app, however I've realised the reddit routine is more up to date. I'm a bit stuck as to what equipment i should set up to get me through a first year of training, as i dont want to waste money buying redundant items. Just a note, i train in my home office and am somewhat space limited. I've got a tall set of paralettes, which are tall enough to do bent leg dips or use for horizontal rows etc. I brought a decent door pull up bar, but the vintage mouldings on my door mean it wont fit. Ive also got a decent resistance band and a 10kg dumbell. I was thinking i could build proper paralell bars with a pullup section at one end out of 2x4 and galv pipe, this seems to be the staple for bwf/calisthenics. Are there any considerations to make before i do this? Any other equipment that i would benefit from? Thanks for any help in advance [link] [comments] |
