| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 02:20 AM PDT HEY YOU, Have you taken any recent pics of those sweet gains, your human flag, or those handstands off the wall you're finally holding? Do you have other bodyweight fitness accomplishments you've made and want the world to know about because your friends and family can't appreciate how hard L-sit progressions are?? This is the thread for you to share all that and inspire others at the same time! I'm talking about another S-S-SU-SUNDAY SHOW OFF!!

| Reverse Zanetti (FL to Victorian) has been achieved by Italian athlete Manuel Caruso Posted: 19 Apr 2020 02:34 AM PDT Holy shit this is insane, the years of training and pure pulling power is something we can all aspire to but rarely do we see athletes of this level outside of gymnastics. This movement was thought to be impossible but actually did it, and without any gymnastics training, just pure SW. Look if you want to be amazed EDIT: I feel the need to say that I am NOT Manuel Caruso!!! [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone else feel like they are held back by a minor injury-prone body? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:12 AM PDT FYI this is mainly a cathartic rant but could maybe start some discussion. I've been training weights/calistenics for a few years now (24M), and while I've made a paltry-okay amount of progress (maybe put on ~10lbs of muscle at 5'5), I'm still not very strong and working toward advanced moves. Right now I've been plagued by a few minor injuries, which are not quite injuries but the kind of thing where I feel I need to back off to avoid them developing into a bigger issue. By this meaning there isn't pain outside of specific movements (other than if prod certain areas) and even during movements the pain is small and would only notice it after a set is over. For example I've always had almost-golfers elbow in my right side, meaning when I had done stuff like climbing or tried to train pull ups harder it gets tender/sore, maybe get the odd little pain the next few days. I find I can feel a strain when I am overworking it in this way. I am yet again backing off pull ups right now, and trying to build up low intensity sets of rows (along with some theraband flexbar rehab). Though I've done a similar regime in the past the same thing happens every time pretty much. Another issue I'm having is my tricep on the right side has recently decided it doesn't like having weight on it when it is straight. I've also felt some irritation/strain on overhead press and incline bench, and pushup variations to a lesser extent (kinda feel in on PPPU but not in the same way). I'm having a break on handstands (which, I have barely made progress on in 1.5 years), and also harder pushing exercises. I know the whole 'don't compare yourself to others' stuff. I get it, be the best version of me I can. But godammit when I see people working on and achieving strength feats that I'm after, and I'm not able to push for them because of minor injuries that just don't seem to go away. I have the discipline and motivation to sleep ,eat right, train consistently, but can't get to where I want. I'd love to start working toward a one arm chin up or front lever, but every time I try to do even simple variations (weighted pull up, tuck FL pull) my issues flare up. I've been on a few ~month long holidays and they have have helped but then the issues just come back within a couple weeks of training. So, anyone else dealt with this kind of issue? I know I'm fortunate to not have major injuries but its frustrating. I think the advice I'd give to myself is I need to be MUCH MORE patient building up intensity/volume but I seem to find it very difficult to do that. I know I could work on other stuff: sure my flexibility could use some work. But my main goals are basically inaccessible right now. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:18 AM PDT Hi all, I have been doing body weight exercise for quite sometime, I have no issue with pull ups, push up, rows and all the basic exercise, however I struggle with pike push up. I have done lots of research, watching videos from Calisthenics movement and FitnessFAQs, practice the right form at best I could, but I reckon I can't really get into the "pike" position, when I am in the push up position, when I walk my hands closer to my feet, or walk my feet closer to my hands, I always end up looking more like a curve than pike, it's never really a inverted "V" shape, I would like to know, is that because of mobility issue (since I am in my 40s) or is it a technique issue? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| What do you think of this approach toward Grease the Groove Posted: 19 Apr 2020 04:12 AM PDT So i quite like the idea of Greese the Groove just because to me it really sounds like i can make decent progress without relying on eating much more and things like this. Im planning on cutting anyways so i think it would be a good approach rather than burning my body out and being unable to repair my muscles. Im doing about 20 mins of jogging 4 days a week. I want to improve my proficiency and reps on my bodyweight movements So currently i am doing 50% of my max pushups, pull ups and rows (on a pull up bar with legs elevated). I do 16, 3 and 6 reps respectively. I do this once an hour around 10 times per day. Everything is done with maximum range of motion and isnt rushed. I want to add in more things but i dont want to overtrain or defeat the purpose of grease the groove. ? My background is around 2 years of weightlifting and my bf% is around 20% Im 5 8 feet tall and weigh around 86kg atm. Its probably not relevant but my bench is 100kg for 3, deadlift 200kg for 1 and squat 170kg for 1. Is what i am currently doing sufficient? Should I add? Should i decrease? Should I change something? I humbly request the advice of you guys as im pretty new to bodyweight fitness Any advice or suggestions or critiques will be highly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 09:06 AM PDT Hey everyone, happy Sunday! As I get into this sub, I'd love to hear some stories about your first goal in body weight fitness, way back when you started. How long did it take you to reach it? Mine was very simple, I saw a guy doing archer pull-ups at the gym and had never seen anything like that or done much body weight stuff, so after a couple weeks that became part of my routine! Would love to hear your stories [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:51 AM PDT How can I increase my pullups? Currently can do 5 pullups only and I want to be able to do atleast 3 sets of 12 in the next upcominh 2 months. How can I increase from this [link] [comments] |
| I can do 3 pistols but can't squat 45 lbs..how is this possible? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 07:57 AM PDT Male- 143 pounds. So I just tried pistol squats today and I am able to do 1 with one leg and 3 with another. I thought pistol squats were supposed to be a measure of one's leg strength but clearly I am very weak as I can't squat 45 pounds. In the recommended routine the final progression is pistol squats. So should I continue doing them or switch to barbell training? Also I can do 30 push ups( proper form) but can't do a single fucking pull up.Its so frustrating. Right now I can hang from the bar and I can jump to the top. Any suggestions on how to get my first pull up? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for Challenge Ideas which are more about skill and less about strength Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:31 AM PDT Hey! I'm doing Handstand challenges with friends, such as learning a free handstand, taking off t-shirts during a free handstand, etc. and it's been great. Just sending all of them the progress you've made, and seeing them make progress makes it feel so much more connected. Since we have a lot of relatively untrained individuals in our group I'm looking for more challenge ideas that all of us can partake with. What are your best skill-over-strength challenges?

| Will extra cardio hurt my progress? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 04:03 AM PDT Hey all, I'm ready to get fit. I'm 39, 5"9, and 95kg with a high percentage of body fat. I'm going to start the RR tomorrow but I'm wondering if I should be doing more low intensity cardio such as riding my bike or going for daily walks. Will doing so impact my strength training in any way? [link] [comments] |
| Bloodshot eyes from handstands Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:05 AM PDT I'm am trying to get into handstands but I noticed my eyes are turning red when I look into the mirror afterwards. I have done a lot of exercises before but not really ones whoch have me hanging upside down. I googled it and found someone with a similar problem. All the answers were basically that OP had high blood pressure but I am sure that's not it. I have type 1 diabetes and my blood pressure has been checked regularly my whole life. It never came back high or low, always near-perfect. I don't think I developed high blood pressure since my last checkup, the chances that that happend would be extremely low. It's not too bad, they aren't incredibly red but it is noticeable. It stays for a while and then clears up. Maybe I just have to get used to it, I'm just wondering if it can become a problem or if it's just normal. [link] [comments] |
| Lower squat weight to decrease waiting time Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:47 AM PDT I started RR with the bad habit of having a long waiting time between the squats, and it has gotten worse. Assume that the 5 reps of squats take 40 seconds to perform, and 8 reps of pull take 30 seconds to perform, and I wait 150 seconds after each set until I perform the next. Then it should take (40+150 + 30 + 150) + (40+150 + 30 + 150) + (40+150 + 30) = 960 seconds = 16 minutes to perform the pair three times. 40 and 30 seconds to perform a squat and a pull-up set is quite a long time. However, it took me 32 minutes today to complete the pair. This is only because of my waiting time with the squats. My solution to the problem is to lower the weight so much so that I can complete 3 sets with 5 reps with only 150 seconds break after the pull-up. My question for you is, should I only decrease it as little as possible, or should I start over completely with only the bar weight so that my mind gets used to shorter breaks over a long time? I currently lift 85kg/187,393pound. [link] [comments] |
| any harder no equipment alternative to the hinges in the recommended routine? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 12:21 AM PDT Hi, I recently started the recommended routine, but the no equipment hinges are too easy and the others are ones I cant do because I have no barbells or bands. Are there any alternatives? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 11:02 AM PDT I'm trying to build muscle and I'm doing the RR 3 days a week, but I also do 15 minute HIIT routines everyday, since I feel it helps me with the anxiety of the quarantine. Is this ok? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:38 AM PDT Hey for several months i am trying to train the one arm pullup, As of strength with normal two arm pull ups ( can do over 20 clean form and over 5 clean form with 17.5 kg on me) I have tried to do one arm pull ups with towel to train it and i can do 6 each arm with clean form, today i tried doing one arm pull up without it and couldn't.. I am also doing typewriter pull ups with rings. As for negatives one arm i just can't hold myself i fall down right away.. So my question is how do i train it? How do i train negatives if i cant even hold a second? And what is the best way to train the one arm pullup? THANKS! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:27 AM PDT Most plyometric routines on Youtube are pretty bad, does someone have a solid plyometrics routine? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 10:13 AM PDT One of my goals is to become advanced/professional at one of these sports: Calisthenics, running, sprinting, tennis.I'm doing only calisthenics work right now, but what should I do to maybe benifit for all these thing? (maybe core strength, lower body training etc) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 09:59 AM PDT During this quarantine, I've been struggling to find good HIIT workouts with the minimal equipment I have at home (none actually). I have a good workout that targets my lower body and core, but I can't seem to find any that really hit my upper body with no equipment. I would love to hear some suggestions from all for at home HIIT workouts for chest/shoulders/arms/back/core that don't need equipment! Thanks all! [link] [comments] |
| Question regarding training structure Posted: 19 Apr 2020 09:46 AM PDT Hi all. Du to Corona I switched from regular bouldering to training at home. I have a trx and a pull up bar and try to follow mostly the RR. So now here comes my question as due to Corona I spend much more time in my flat I started spliting my training over the day. So there is sometimes a hour between the different sets executed. For example doing push ups and lsit training in the morning and then rows and pull ups in the afternoon. I do 4 sets of each exercise mostly till I can't do the last repitition in proper form. Is this form of training enough to improve or should I switch to doing all sets in one session? Thanks for your support, this forum is really great and all the content I found here helped me a lot... So thanks for all the effort many people here took to help and guide! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 05:26 AM PDT I can gain muscle mass everywhere but my forearms. I used to do tons of biceps curls of all different kinds at the gym but my forearms seem to always stay the same. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:18 PM PDT I've had a hunched back for a very long time. It's not that bad, but I need to fix it now that I'm exercising. I heard pull ups are good for posture, but I don't seem to be getting any better. Any tips on exercises/stretches would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Apr 2020 08:50 AM PDT Hey folks !! I have been doing calisthenics for almost 4 years and weighted calisthenics for about 2 to 4 months, 1) how can i progress in weighted calisthenics ? And ..... 2) is it possible to train skill with my weighted routine ? [link] [comments] |
