| 3 Year Progress with 100% Meal Replacement Diet and 1 Hour Exercise Weekly Posted: 15 Apr 2020 08:27 AM PDT OverviewI'm experimenting with a program that tries to answer the question... What is the least amount of effort required to have a decent looking physique? It consists of only…

Doctor's comment for April 2019 blood test…
No blood test taken for 2020 due to Coronavirus. FAQWhy are you only drinking meal replacement shakes?A few years ago, I kept coming across news articles of people doing 30-day challenges with these new meal replacement products that claim to provide 100% RDI. That piqued my curiosity, and I wanted to experiment with it myself. I lost ten pounds the first month. Excited about the progress, I wanted to keep going. What was meant as a 30-day experiment turned into a long-term habit. I've been on this diet for more than 3 years now and still going. My main motivation is still curiosity. I think it's a worthwhile goal to help determine the minimum system requirements humans need to operate. So by eating according to current RDI every day for a long time, I can see if I become toxic or deficient in any areas and we can adjust our knowledge. Which meal replacement are you using?I use a product called Plenny Shake. I chose it mainly because of price. It also has a variety of flavors (mango is my favorite) and is plant based (lactose free). Some other popular brands I considered were Soylent, Huel, and Queal. To get my serving size and how much a meal will cost me, I used an online calorie calculator. I kept the powder and water in separate bottles and mixed on demand. I used a food scale to consistently measure my meal sizes. I had to use a larger shaker bottle since my 1333 calorie meals didn't fit in the free shaker bottle that came with my first Plenny Shake order. Did you take any supplements?No supplements, drugs, alcohol, caffeine, snacks, cheat days. Just the powder and water. How did you measure your body fat?I got one of those home body fat scales that use bioelectrical impedance. I know it's not the most accurate, but it gives me a pretty good estimate. I tried to measure myself each time with similar conditions (right after waking up and using the restroom). If my weight and body fat stays about the same for 3 to 4 weeks straight, I increase or decrease my calories by 10% depending on if I'm bulking or cutting. When are you going to eat regular food again? What will be your first meal?I don't plan on doing it forever. I think I'll go 4 years max. I read an article that says it takes about 4-5 years to reach your natural fitness limit. After 4 years, I'll probably still use meal replacements, but not 100%. My first meal will probably be Hawaiian poke. What advantages have you experienced with this diet?The biggest advantage about an all meal replacement diet is the convenience. Three major conveniences are:
In regards to time and money, I spend less than 30 minutes a day doing food-related things (meal prep, consuming, clean up). There is no traveling to get food, no waiting in line, no refrigeration, no cooking, and no wasted leftovers. It is way cheaper than my previous diet that consisted of cereal, fast/frozen food, snacks, and home cooked Filipino dishes. Also, I stay in my vehicle part time when I am far from home for several days, and powdered food has been a godsend in that situation. With regards to calorie tracking, it's stupidly easy to keep track of calories when you eat the same thing every day. Losing/gaining/maintaining weight is all about calorie management. Being confident that I can control my weight at will is a great superpower I've gained since experimenting with this diet. What negatives have you experienced with this diet?The biggest negative thing about this diet is the social aspect. Sharing meals is a bonding experience for most people, so I miss that part. It is a bit awkward going out with friends, and I'm just drinking water while they are eating and getting drunk. Also, people get disappointed when I deny food that they are offering especially if they cooked it. How do you handle cravings?The first couple weeks was hard. But like most things, you get used to it after awhile. I went to bed hungry and woke up feeling not hungry which to me seems like my body was burning stored fat instead of recently eaten food when I went to sleep. I experimented with intermittent fasting also which helped me control cravings. I am able to do a 20 hour fast with a 4 hour eating window comfortably. Most days though, I'm on a more conservative 14 hour fast with a 10 hour eating window. It's become so routine to me now that it's just something I do like brush my teeth or take a shower. Not a lot of thought goes into it anymore. I treat it more like a prescription… "Take three of these shakes a day to control your weight and stay alive. Adjust the dosage as needed". Products like these are the closest thing to simply popping a pill to give your body the fuel it needs to function. How is your energy level?Energy level during cutting was noticeably lower than when bulking, but that's the same with normal food as well. As of now, I've never felt this fit in my entire life. I don't use caffeine and am able to keep up with my kids while working graveyard. Also, I haven't experienced any kind of brain fog or headaches. I still feel sharp and enjoy learning challenging new things. What other physical activities do you do?For my job, I walk around for about an hour. At home, I take care of my little kids. Other than that, no other major physical activity. What is your fitness goal?My next milestone I'd like to reach is a FFMI of 23 which would have me at 215 lbs with 15% body fat. I think I can reach that by continuing to do what I've been doing. How are your bowel movements?Skip this part if you don't like reading about poop. Before this diet, I was often constipated. Now, I have a bowel movement at least once a day, and it goes out easily. If I go right when I feel the urge, it comes out like soft serve ice cream. If I hold it for a long time, it comes out like logs. Plenny Shake changed their formula in the middle of my experiment to contain less protein. After the change, I noticed a vast improvement in the condition of my bowels. I had far less gas and bloating, the poop doesn't leave skid marks or clog the toilet anymore, and the smell no longer clears the room. What is the condition of your mouth?I still stimulate my teeth and gums by chewing gum after every meal and brushing/flossing every day. The condition of my mouth actually improved. I get far less canker sores than I used to and my breath got better also. How do people around you react?When people first hear about my diet, their knee-jerk reaction is usually disbelief. They can't imagine something like this can be healthy or sustainable. However, after sharing my progress pics and blood test, they start getting interested. I've gotten quite a few people to incorporate modern meal replacements as part of their diet after they saw my results. Is someone paying you to do this?No one is paying me to be on a 100% meal replacement diet. I consider myself an independent researcher, and I am meal replacement agnostic. If a more affordable one came out that still provides 100% RDI and can be delivered monthly to me consistently, I'd switch brands in a heartbeat. What advice do you have for someone who wants to try this diet and exercise routine?My advice to people curious about trying such a diet would be to start off gradually. Order a sample of different brands and flavors to see which one agrees with you the best. Then, replace one meal a day at first. When you are used to that, replace another meal and so on until all your meals are replaced. Try it for 30 days straight, and I think you'll fall in love with the convenience. After that, you don't need to be 100% like me unless you want to help with the sample size of testing if our current RDI is accurate. Most people will just want to use it to replace meals when they are busy. It's perfect for your boring and routine meals. You can save the other meals for special occasions with friends and family. Then you can just use a calorie tracking app like MyFitnessPal to make sure the other foods are kept in your daily calorie goal. For the exercise, I think keeping it short and simple is key into being consistent and will help people make exercise a lasting habit. When you can do 2 short workouts a week consistently, then consider adding more exercise if you want. The shortest path to a goal is a straight line. You can use this diet and exercise as a tool to quickly reach your desired weight. It doesn't get much simpler than 1 food and 1 hour of exercise a week. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 06:05 PM PDT My gym has closed due to covid. I want to continue working out and keep in shape. However, Im only able to do pushing exercises, which i think will cause an imbalance since i am not doing any pulling exercises. I have rings but nowhere in my apartment can I hang them. Tried knotting and putting them between the door and the door frame but it was about to break.so i had to stop... i am currently doing australian pull ups under my dining table(thanks to this sub) but i fear it isn't enough and might break too. i can already feel my front muscles are developing more than back.... How are you guys doing pull ups at home? [link] [comments] |
| [M/24/5'11"/160lbs] 2 Year Calisthenics Progress + Transformation VIDEO Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:44 AM PDT Hi all, I posted here a few months back and wasn't planning on posting again for another full year, but I think right now is a good time with all that is going on in the world - I hope nobody minds these semi-frequent posts. This week also marks my second full year of calisthenics training, so I guess it's good timing anyways! Making these posts and my transformation video has honestly been a huge part of what kept me going on the days where I felt weak or tired, because I knew that I needed to make these eventually. My old post explained my workout routine, diet, and overall how bodyweight fitness has changed my life. I'll skip that explanation, because it's all detailed in my video and the thread which will be linked below. I know my posts are long, so I've started to bold all the most important tl;dr-worthy information. Here is a link to my old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/cq0knw/24m511_1_year_4_months_progress_from/ Since then, I've made a lot of progress and wanted to share it with you all. I've learned so much from this community and I feel like if I can give back in any way or if my progress can inspire someone else the way that seeing others' progress did for me, then I'm happy. I made a video last week to mark the 2 year transformation and I think it's a lot more beneficial than just showing progress pictures because you can see the actual journey itself. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8iRiT25Sio Please note, I made this video in a few days on Adobe Premier Pro and am NOT a video editor by any means. My friend helped me out with the transitions and finding music, but I realize there may be pacing issues and the music isn't everyone's cup of tea (it wasn't my first choice either, but what can you do - copyright issues)! I know my editing skills are nothing special, but I made this video for myself above all else! I hope that you guys can enjoy it for the content at the very least. :) Progress Pictures AFTER pictures (March/April 2020): https://imgur.com/a/KwfpC76 BEFORE pictures (April 2018): https://imgur.com/a/33NmQ ________________________________________________________________________ Since my last post, I've made a lot of progress in many areas. [Start (April 2018) vs. Last post (August 2019) vs. Now (April 2020)] Push-Ups 30 > 70 > 85 (hoping to hit that dreaded 100 soon) Pull-Ups 5 > 20 > 26 Dips 10 > 35 > 42 Ring Muscle-Ups 0 > 3 > 8 Back Lever 0sec > 32sec > same, but I've learned how to do walking back levers and other tricks Front Lever 0sec > 5sec > 8sec Handstand Push-Up 0 > 0 > 4 Human Flag 0sec > 0sec > 7sec Straddle Planche 0sec > 0sec > 2sec (it's not much but it's great progress for me!) And on top of that, I'm able to do a nearly full side split now, and I've come a lot closer to reaching all of my compound lift goals (but this isn't about those). If anyone wants a full rundown of my EXACT workouts, I'm happy to list them here or send them to you. I can also list my diet, but it's honestly roughly the same as in my last post. My weight has not changed very much because I'm very careful to maintain myself around 160 lbs in case I ever decide to compete in Judo again, but also because I feel the healthiest at that weight and it works for me. _________________________________________________________________________ Since I already detailed my workouts and diet in my last post, I will just list here the basics of what my week is structured like. On a daily basis, I do 15-30 minutes of core & stretching (usually 50/50). I usually do this in the mornings but sometimes it's nice to do it before bed. On top of this, I do a minimum of 100 Pull-Ups, 100 Dips (on rings), and 200 Push-Ups nearly every day of the week. I do this because I've realized with time that refining the basics is absolutely fundamental in training. I usually do about 4-5 weighted exercises (compound lifts, accessories) which takes about an hour or more a day, then another hour and a half working on my skills. This is what my weekly workout schedule looks like, and for the most part has not changed that much during quarantine besides having no gymnastics and limited equipment:
I should mention that these days are a general guideline and I do 2-3 catch-up exercises most days as well, just to ensure that every major muscle group is getting hit a minimum of 3 times during the week. For example, I do overhead press, dumbbell shoulder press, and dumbbell side raises on chest/triceps day as well. In my previous post I mentioned that I was doing 3 nights (3-4 hrs each) of gymnastics a week, but with the recent quarantine all of my gyms have closed down so I have been doing an additional calisthenics workout most days. If anyone is reading this and thinking "Wtf why would you do two workouts a day, that's too much volume, you're over-training", this type of training works for me and I really enjoy doing it every day! So many of you guys have been great to talk to about BWF and other workout-related things, and so many of you have inspired me to keep pushing even on days where it feels like I'm not going to ever achieve a planche how the hell.... Thank you all so much and I hope that someone can benefit from reading this or watching the video, and please feel free to send me as many comments/questions as you want and I will answer them all! P.S. If anyone has any tips on how to get my veins to stop exploding out of my forehead when I do levers I would really appreciate it, thanks. [link] [comments] |
| to increase bone density which would be more effective between low volume or high volume weight? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 06:47 AM PDT Ive seen mentioned here that High impact activities, such as weight training, must exert 4-8x body weight of force to cause a bone mass response; squats and deadlifts, for example, exert forces of up to 5-8x body weight at the hip and spine. https://old.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/gst5i/weekly_research_article_lifting_and_bone_health/ but this study used low volume high reps which increased the bone density by approximately 6% https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26364686 [link] [comments] |
| Good glute strengthening exercises to correct knee valgus and anterior tilt? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:19 AM PDT As title suggests, I have knee valgus and anterior pelvic tilt, likely due to years of inactivity and sitting too much. Not too bad, but I would like to correct these slowly over time. What are some glute strengthening exercises to help with this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:39 AM PDT I was wondering if there were any good exerice or workout to get more explosive legs so I can run faster and jump higher. Is box jumping a good exerice to do if you want to run faster and get more explosive [link] [comments] |
| Faster Way to Increase Pull-Ups Posted: 15 Apr 2020 01:16 AM PDT I can currently do 6 pull-ups in a row. If my goal is 15 in a row, would I progress faster doing just my body weight for higher reps, or adding weight and sticking in the 4-6 rep range? [link] [comments] |
| Accessible guide for the recommmended courtine for people with disabilities Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:37 AM PDT Hey everyone! I've been getting more into calisthenics nowadays, and would like to follow the recommended routine. The problem is that I have major vision loss. Is there something like a well-organized spreadsheet that lays out the routine? Also, some video tutorials are just text and people doing the exercises, are there any with good descriptive narratives of the progressions/exercises? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:02 AM PDT I fenced fenced for 3 years so my right side is much stronger than my left. I recently noticed how uneven my shoulders are. My right shoulder (dominant) is significantly lower and longer than the left. picture here. How can I even put my shoulders? [link] [comments] |
| Favorite stretches for quads and shoulders? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:54 AM PDT Hey y'all -- Like it says on the tin, I'd love to know what your favorite stretches are for shoulders and quads. I've been a lurker for a bit but finally gave it a go thanks to a beginners thread that was let through recently. Thanks for that! Now armed with one of Mike Lauren's books I'm taking the first steps toward my goal of crushing a watermelon with my thighs. I'm seeing progress and enjoying the practice, but the amount of dad noises I make when getting up from a chair on rest days is starting to alarm my partner. Haven't found the right stretches to ease the quad burn, specifically (did some googling with little success). Do you have favorites? Promise that I did read the FAQ but I suppose I could have missed it if this has been answered before. Thanks again for the knowledge and inspo! [link] [comments] |
| help i got fat by accident, how to get back to it? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:33 AM PDT so i got busy at work, got sedentary, but not completely still bang out a few chinups, squats, situps go for walks etc when i have a minute, i thought this would be enough to maintain, but it is not i am a fat slob. i wonder if you have tips to get back into shape quickly. just workout all the time? [link] [comments] |
| Is there ever going to be a decent app that includes all the callisthenics progressions? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:25 AM PDT It would be great if there was an app that was as aesthetically pleasing as say the 'Stronglifts' app. There aren't enough progressive exercises in the RR. Here are some great progressions: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYwfsukB5_ALquKKWZwka_IoG_fdyVnA3Pjal8nCpSjkkHV9LL3t6DZoKk5SZ3uAPuWmGYlJ7e8Jf0acByvYFcsPHACXHP5it5t3epHLRcCJtxsa_Df92cYLmj_fOpUiT4rVSH7kgsr9J/s1600/POSTER+FINAL-page-001.jpg [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 12:23 PM PDT Hi guys, i'm 27m, new to working out, began about 4 months ago I have multiple sclerosis, which is pretty mild in my case and thanks to medicine i haven't had any flares after the first That being said, while it took me too long, i finally started to working out to not only keep my strenght and control over my body but to get stronger, more flexible and have a better control over my body and function better Now, i'm still pretty weak, recently got to 3 series of 8 reps of push ups, i train about 20~30 minutes a day, five days a week, and just this week i'm trying to start flexibility training as well But after starting this i actually am enjoying it more than i thought i would, so while i don't have pretty much any money, i'm thinking about getting something to help the training I pretty much came to 4 options, but with my lack of understanding about all of this who knows how wrong i am Dumbells, i have a 2kg one, really light, so i was thinkings about getting a pair of 5kg ones Fixed bar, for trying to begin pull ups Resistance bands, they seem very practical And lastly, olympic rings, they also seem very practical(if a bit less than the resistance bands) and seem very complete in ways to use them to train, but also seem like the ones who will be the harder to a beginner get used to Now, like i said, i don't have money for all of these, only one and i'm still not sure if i'll be able to buy any, so if i was to invest into one, which would be the most useful for the longest? Sorry for the wall [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 12:16 PM PDT Hi guys i have looked at the RR but most of it I can't do I can't do a basic pull up . I have to do a negative pull up Do you guys think I should skip some of the RR like only focus pull ups , push ups and squats until I develop more strength in the muscle groups [link] [comments] |
| Weighted Dips and and Decline Press Ups Posted: 15 Apr 2020 12:10 PM PDT around the time last year I started to train bodyweight along side my normal gym routine for 2-3 months but always thought I wouldn't get a good enough chest pump / gains so as it got cold again I stopped BWF Now due to COVID and the weather i have gone back to my old routine with some variations and I'm loving it! Leaning more forward to hit chest on dips and adding weights in a rucksack is killer! the same for decline chest press! and added in archer push ups I was very wrong - my chest feels so pumped after these workouts and I feel the contraction more than any barbell or dumbell movement ive done BWF here to stay! [link] [comments] |
| How to warmup for weighted pull ups in the RR? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 12:06 PM PDT Hi guys, I'm wondering how do you guys warmup for the weighted pull ups in the recommended routine if you know is near your max (5x45lbs in my case). Is it enough with the warmup on the routine? Do you do any regular pull ups and with 20lbs before starting the pair? [link] [comments] |
| Hip hinging pinches my left hip Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:57 AM PDT What happens when I hip hinge is that when I start to bend over with my hips, my left knee starts to bend, but my right knee doesn't the hip just go back. In turn the left hip goes back later. Doesn't matter if I use a dowel rod I still have this problem. My left hip is also hiked up in the air. Anything I can try? cues? [link] [comments] |
| Could I install a pull-up bar on the frame of my garage? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:25 AM PDT 6', 165 lbs. Just bought a house and I'm trying to figure out where I can install a pull-up bar. The rafters of my garage unfortunately look far too weak, but I'm wondering if I could bolt one into the actual frame of the garage. Does it look strong to enough to hold me (obviously I would remove the shelves)? [link] [comments] |
| Isometric workout to supplement regular calisthenics Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:23 AM PDT I'm looking to supplement my regular training with isometric workouts, there are so many resources online but I havent found a great example of an actual workout to follow. Thus far I've just been doing isometric versions of my usual movements (pullup, inverted row, pushup, pike pushup, squat, calf raise. I did this purely to do something rather than nothing but as my strength increases I want to have practices rooted in knowledge and science as opposed to just something ad hoc. I've seen the black monk isometrics app, but the only review of it Ive seen was on some random men's rights /alt right/ pua type website so for better or worse I am instantly skeptical. Does anyone have a consistent routine or set of movements they could share with me please? Thank you in advance. PS I would be more keen to do overcoming isometrics than any other kind [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:12 AM PDT I bought a set of resistance bands https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZR42VJK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but when doing deadlifts, the bar comes uncomfortably close to my junk (and close to my chin in squats) and I can't help but think that if (and when) the bands or the carabiner finally snaps, I will be in for a very rough injury. Is this something I should be concerned about? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT I really really have spent days reading through the WikiFitness and FAQs section but I still have questions, BUT decided that BWF is my best fit. •157cm •52 kilos •NO GYM ACCESS (quarantine) and no home equipment •Really can't even perform 1 rep of Push-ups •My goal is to just be physically strong, get some abs, to be strong enough to defend myself against street sexual harassers or such. I'm not concerned about my weight. So which should I choose? Or is there something better than these two that would fit me better? [link] [comments] |
| Core questions and shoulder impingement Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:34 AM PDT Before I say anything else, I do apologise if I'm violating the rules and this post gets deleted. English isn't my first language and I'm also not the most learned. Also this post is quite wordy. Hi, I'm a 20 year old guy who to be honest is in decent shape. However, I tried using an ab wheel the other day, something I thought I could do easily, and I found I was struggling to reach max ROM without hyperextending my back. This showed me that my abs aren't strong enough just because they're visible. Moreover, I think my posture need work, things like pelvis tilt and some lower back pain. I've also for years had this recurring shoulder pain that's shoots down the anterior deltoid when I adduct my shoulder. I've only recently thought to realise that it is most likely an impingement. I also feel like my shoulder sit a bit far forward and my posture isn't amazing. I know my neck position isn't quite right either and to be honest it's probably a big consequence of other habits. This has all led me to believe I seriously need to focus on my core for a while and also work on my upper posterior chain. So I'm here asking for a core workout and some back exercises to do at home but without any equipment, no bands or pull-up bar, because of lockdown, and sets and reps to go with it. I'd greatly appreciate any help and about other peoples experiences with tackling shoulder impingement pain and improving their posture . Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for advice on reading material Posted: 15 Apr 2020 01:15 AM PDT Can anyone recommend a book they like about diet for training? I'm mostly interested in strength training and I'd like to get my diet in order. What do you guys read? [link] [comments] |
| Functional benefit of performing skills, hypertrophy, and increasing muscle growth? Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:57 AM PDT I've been training for pure strength in Calisthenics/Bodyweight for about 4-5 years. I have no interest in training for aesthetics or impressing others. For the most part I do pull-up variations, dips, and push-up variations, along with lower body work. The primary reason why I train is for my own health, well-being, and safety. I want to have the ability to apply this strength into the real world, such as moments of self-defense, protecting loved ones, martial arts, and basic survival. With that being said, what purpose would Calisthenic skills (Handstand, Front Lever, Planche) and large muscles play in those roles? It definitely takes some form of strength to perform skills, but is the trade-off worth it? Do large muscles provide a functional service aside from potentially intimidating someone?
