| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 05:48 PM PDT I'm a college student right now and it seems like everyone around me (save for a few) have crazy sleep schedules. I just had to stay up a bit late last night and I just feel horrible today even at 5pm. I'm about to start my workout, but I feel ridiculously weak compared to normal. Maybe not in strength, but I just feel very fatigued even though my last strength workout was two days ago. Getting normally good sleep and then having some bad sleep really makes me appreciate how important sleep really is. It's likely different for everyone, but I can't imagine how much slower recovery would be without good sleep. Also I've just been slower at working through all my schoolwork and labs too so there's that. [link] [comments] |
| Austin Dunham's "BodyWeight BodyBuilder 2.0" Programme Review - Big Thumbs Down Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:11 AM PDT Hi guys, I bought the programme a couple of weeks into our lockdown here in the UK as i was looking to have some sort of structured training programme outside of the gym. I paid the $60 odd for the programme after having seen several videos on YouTube and enjoying them (I still enjoy them and think they are the best bit). The programme is VERY basic and VERY generic. The whole members area feels neglected and it feels like his site was thrown together as quickly as possible, every page still has the default "Lorem Ipsum..." web text on it. The walkthrough of each programme is clumsy and not well laid out in a way that you could read it and follow the video tutorials easily. And the video tutorials are just snapshots from YouTube anyway. The programme feels quite unrealistic in some ways. As you move on to intermediate you are still doing the basic movements (think push ups, pull ups, dips), but then sometimes it will have as a bonus "do as many muscle ups as possible". If you're someone who is trying to do 3 sets of 6-12 rep pull ups i don't think you'll be able to do even 1 muscle up. The site says get in touch if you want to give feedback or complain, but you realise there is no actual contact us link on the site, you have to google it to find it, and i received no response anway. Just my 2 cents. I'd hang on to your money and follow someone like FitnessFAQs who has a free and equally good if not better (constructed with more thought) programme. [link] [comments] |
| Easy to make Pull up bar for under $25 Posted: 30 Apr 2020 10:04 AM PDT Hi All, due to the gyms not working I decided to make my own pull up bar in my small apartment. I use to have one before I started going tot he gym years ago. I have a full DIY video on it if someone will find it helpful. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:33 AM PDT I had a bit of a search, but the last post on this was over 2 years ago and it didn't get much attention. Has anyone had any experience with the Limitless Legs program from FitnessFAQ's? I'm loving the RR at the moment, however I don't really feel sore in my legs the way I do in my upper body despite doing the hardest progression I can manage. I was considering buying Limitless Legs to supplement the RR but I want to know what other peoples opinions of it are first as it is quite expensive. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 02:13 PM PDT For context once again , I am a relatively skinny guy but has a small amount of muscle. Recently I have decided to bulk my body and get in shape, I know that it will take a caloric surplus and a long time to achieve this and I hope questions you may have get answered by my questions. So training 2 muscle groups every time I work is satisfying for me but one full body excercise every time before I start my workout and that is burpees. Will it help me build muscle or will I tire my muscles before I even start because it's a cardio exercise. My question is . Will it actually help a relatively skinny guy who wants to build muscle having burpees as a standard workout routine before every other workout or nah ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 01:56 PM PDT Hey guys i didnt know which subreddit should i go to so i wanted to type this here. My right side of body is dominant in everything. After working out i noticed that muscles on right side of my body are bigger. Also when i try to eat,brush my teeth,punch or kick with left arm or leg it feels unnatural. How can i fix it.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 01:54 PM PDT Hey all, I've been trying to get into bodyweight exercises for quite a while now. After having some periods where I did the RR quite regularly I ultimately always failed to make it a longterm habit. What usually helps me is either having a scheduled class or as a substitute something like an app with some kind of set schedule and progression. Can you recommend any for either of those? Preferrebly with a hypertrophy focus. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Theory: Strong Grip + Powerful Hips = 80/20 Athletic Base Posted: 30 Apr 2020 10:42 AM PDT As a former wrestler and someone who has been engaged in various forms of training from BWF to weight training to rock climbing and other sports and I am beginning to believe if someone has a strong grip and powerful hips, they have an advantage in pretty much every sport they go into minus something like distance swimming in which any significant muscle mass in general can be a disadvantage. Anyone thoughts on this? [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone GMB’s new program Mobility? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:36 AM PDT I'm interested and wanted to hear some perspectives. I have Elements currently. I really like it. [link] [comments] |
| Protein Per Calorie Spreadsheet Posted: 30 Apr 2020 06:19 AM PDT Hi everyone - This is a helpful spreadsheet for finding foods that have a high ratio of protein to calories. I didn't make this spreadsheet. I found it in a search and thought it's worth sharing. I've been using it as a reference as I meal plan. I hope it's helpful for you as well: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PnUZ3NnjUxXRGoLcdMsV6fztsmon4AMSzYcnOCwlG2M/edit#gid=0 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 01:49 PM PDT Towards the people who is fasting, I know it has been a week of Ramadan, sorry for not posting this sooner. Was just testing things out. So here it is; I did the workouts after 9 pm, around 1-2 Hours. *usually right after Taraweeh and WitrReason is, after done the workouts I found myself tired and exhausted, finish it off with cold shower and then go to bed. That's my daily routine. Then set my mind to wake up for Suhor, and repeat it. The reason I do it at night and not before Iftar is because if I do it before, I will then found myself sleepy for Isya' and Taraweeh. Plus, doing at night allowed you to drink water when you needed it the most. [Edit: forgot to mention that, this will cause you to feels sleepy on Dhuha time and probably till Zuhr] That's from me, so hope you guys will find it useful and Ramadan Mubarak! [link] [comments] |
| Correcting/improving sunken chest and flared ribs? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 04:51 AM PDT I have a sunken chest and flared ribs. Having said that that, I'm pretty strong (can do easily straddle planche, HSPU's, l-sit's, etc.) and decently fit for my age. BWF has probably improved the problem already, at least made it less noticeable. However, it really is annoying. It means that when I'm wearing a normal, loose fitting shirt, I look fat, because my lower ribs stick out and makes it look like I have a 'gut' (even though I don't have one). Is there anyone out there who has had this problem, and has corrected it? There are, I know, a million pieces of advice online- but I'd like to hear from someone who's not selling a product, and has fixed (or at least improved) this issue. [link] [comments] |
| Progress Check: Weighted One Finger Pull Up Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:46 PM PDT Here is my recent p.r. of +15lbs. My last post to this subreddit was three months ago when I first achieved a weighted one finger pull up of +5lbs. I'm 16 years old and I've been training for 16 months in calisthenics. Started to focus on one arm strength training about 5 months ago a lot more. Form needs work but I think it's not that bad. I do one finger pulls with the "rock climber" OAP form like most people. I also just achieved my p.r. of 7 one finger pull ups but those are more of a work in progress. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_l4Sf0nwA0/?igshid=gbm394mhe702 Stats: 16 years old 5'5"/165cm 117lbs/53kg Training calisthenics for 16 months Workout 5-6 days per week for 1-3 hours - 4-5 Days Per Week - Pull Focused, Planche Worked - 1 Day Per Week - Planche Focused, Pull Also Worked [link] [comments] |
| Has any ever tried Daniel Vadnal's Begin Bodyweight program? How was it? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:30 PM PDT I can't seem to find reviews of it anywhere on this sub. From what I understand, It's relatively new. For months, I've been thinking about whether I should get Calimove's level 1-3 bundle or FitnessFAQ's begin bodyweight (BBW) program. I've already read a few reviews of Calimove but I'm still looking for more reviews of BBW so I could make a better informed decision. P.S. before you tell that I could progress without spending money by following the recommended routine, I mainly want to buy one of these two programs for the sake of supporting their channel because I love their content.

| Short pull-up bar risk of any imbalances? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 07:17 AM PDT Hi guys, I have a pull-up bar that is a bit short, so I can grab it with my feet flat on the ground and arms significantly bent. When I do pull-ups I have a habit of grabbing bar and lifting legs/feet backwards and hanging with bent knees. I generally try to extend them to straight during the pull-up but on the way back down I bend them again and often feel a weird sensation in my lower back, sort of a shifting? I have lower back issues and posture problems that I have been working on over time, so I guess my question is is doing pull-ups this way a bad idea in general? thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Does doing more advance push up movements help in doing more standard push ups in a minute? Posted: 30 Apr 2020 03:52 AM PDT 3 weeks ago, i only can do 40 standard push ups in a minute. Then I decide to do more advance push exercises like Pseudo planche push up, archer push ups. I did 3 sets of 8-12 of them and today I tested myself and I got 47. Perhaps doing more advance exercises which use more strength helps increase push up endurance. [link] [comments] |
| Soreness or strained body part? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:52 PM PDT I did eccentric exercises for my knees yesterday and all day today I have been feeling sore in my quads and then down to my upper calf. I am not sure if this is just soreness because I'm weak or if I have strained a muscle or ligament. It's not a sharp pain it's more of a strong dull ache or throbbing inflammation. I ice it but am just worried I made things worse. I experienced work on these muscles and did not have any pain while doing them. I thought I had a very good workout so it's gonna suck if I ended up making things worse. Any answers would help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2020 01:15 AM PDT In my dream world, an app exists that allows me to easily input what exercises I did and my ratio... while also syncing with MFP or even Samsung Health. I'll do it on paper if that's the best way, but it seems like I'm wading through a million programs every time I look in the app store. Anyone have an app they like? [link] [comments] |
