| Are exercises for winged scapula worth it? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 02:30 AM PDT Hi I'm 17 and after I started to workout I noticed I had winged scapula, so I went to the doctor, and since I haven't felt any pain he recommended I do nothing about it. However on the internet there are a bunch of exercises that can supposedly fit this are they worth trying?? [link] [comments] |
| Do you think this is a safe way to do pull up? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:49 AM PDT I'm talking about an Instagram post from athlenx. The second version look a little bit uncomfortable. What do you think? https://www.instagram.com/p/B-djZURFBWX/?igshid=60n9d0k55ur2 This is the link for the video [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:59 AM PDT Considering I'm a college student and further will pursue a full time job, following weighted calisthenics ahead instead of increasing rep up to a prisoner style workout is more practical imo. Please let me know what you think. [link] [comments] |
| Having trouble with full ROM pullups because of forearm Posted: 04 Apr 2020 06:47 AM PDT Hello, I'm practicing calisthenics regularly since last year's november. Well, since february I'm trying to do pullups, but I'm having a trouble to complete it with full ROM. To put some details: I do push/pull/legs now, six days in a row, onde day of rest. In push days I'm being able to do dips with full ROM and even are preparing myself to do handstand pushups, just need to improve my balance to do that. But on pull days I do even chinups with full ROM, but I can't do a single pullup from dead hang. So I did a search on youtube and saw a video by athleanx with Jeff saying that the trouble is with forearm weakness. Some more details: I did every single routine that people say to do pull ups: australian pull ups (which I do easily), negative pull ups, eccentric pull ups for several seconds. So I was wondering what advice can you all give to me to strenghtenmy forearms and be able to do pullups with full ROM. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:07 AM PDT Hey i want to train my abs daily without exercises that harm my spine (crunches). I am doing planks, side planks, leg lift holds and now v sits. Are any of these exercises bad for my spine? I consider (side-)planks safe but i am not so sure about the other two.. Edit: And what about ab wheel rollouts [link] [comments] |
| Best Workout App(s) to create own workouts? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:23 PM PDT Is there an app where you can create own workouts and where you can set the time per exercise etc.? [link] [comments] |
| Static replacement for walking lunges? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:11 PM PDT I live in a small flat and want to start the minimalist routine; but down have the space to do the walking lunges, can anyone recommend a replacement that works in a small space? [link] [comments] |
| Worried about neck when working out with forward head posture Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:09 PM PDT I have bad posture, and after looking at some pictures of my side I realize I have forward head posture and rounded shoulders. After looking up some exercises, symptoms, causes, etc. online I noticed a physiotherapist say that people with degenerated spines/forward head posture tend to "lift with their neck, not their arms." The next time I exercised, I did notice what he meant. I never noticed before, but when I do ab crunches, I basically move my head up and forward first and literally try to drag my body up with my neck. When I do pull ups, I strain and flex my neck soo hard, and it feels as if I'm trying to lift my body up my pushing my head up as far as I can using my neck. Has anyone else experienced this as well? Did you stop working out until you solved your posture problem? If I can still workout, how can I keep my neck relaxed? Should I massage and stretch my neck to relax it or do I need to do neck workouts to strengthen it and protect my spine??? I can't go to a doctor rn because of Covid, but I don't want to not workout during this quarantine.... please help! Some extra info, I do have some Anterior Pelvic Tilt and a weak lower back as well, if that matters. When I do ab exercises, my back gets tired before my abs do, and I can't even bend over a sink to wash my face for longer than a minute. I have pretty weak abs, obviously because I have APT. Thanks!

| Is this a decent leg bodyweight workout for intermediate lifters? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 11:56 AM PDT Given the current situation, many of us who trained with weights feel a little bit lost trying to adapt to a new scenario where your bodyweight (and a dumbbell) becomes your only means to keep working out. I define myself as an intermediate lifter (5-year experience) with a powerlifting background, and I'm trying to shake things up. I have a 50lbs dumbbell and I'll soon get a heavy resistance band for some heavier work. In the meantime, which exercises or bodyweight routines can fit the bill to keep working on my legs? I can do weighted pistol squats with this dumbbell. Any other exercises and or any other advice? I was thinking of doing the following:
Any other exercise you could come up with? Would this be enough volume? Would you ramp up working sets? Where I wrote failure, it means I could probably bang out 30-40 reps with this dumbbell. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 02:41 AM PDT Hi guys, it's been a long while since the last time I passed by here. Most of you won't know me but a few will (spent some time in the Discord channel). This week has been very important when it comes to training. Despite being locked down since more than two weeks ago (I'm spanish), this week I achieved my first ever (short) Full Front Lever hold. As this place was for me where everything related to bodyweight/calisthenics began, I wanted to come back and make it public. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XbCZMiF2B/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_copy\_link This hold was very satisfying because of many reasons: first and most important is that i fulfilled a goal after...aproximately 2 years and 10 months. In the second video you can see my old me working on tuck front lever. Secondly, because it was an unexpected hold. After doing some 5s adv single leg holds I asked myself "ey, what if you attempt a full lever and see if you can hold it for 1-2s?"And so, it happened. Here's a small exercise list I was doing before achieving it: - Single leg front lever (FL) pulls from horizontal. - Band assisted FL pulls from deadhang to inverted hang. - Band assisted FL holds. - Adv. tuck FL pulls from deadhang to horizontal. However, I wouldn't give all the credit to the exercise selection but to the sum of months and months of targeting my back and pulling muscles, a higher protein intake and accessory work that allowed my back to grow in order to improve my Front lever. For anyone wondering, I don't track macros or meals at all. I don't brainstorm myself with it, I just try (again, try) to eat homemade and proper food but also allow myself many treats. I only supplement myself with protein (only Whey at first, Whey and Casein the last months) and creatine monohydrate. Having unlocked FL isn't close to satisfy me though, now it's time to master it (5-10s+ holds, pulls, improve the FL row...) but a BIG milestone is down now. Last but not least, I would recommend everyone to get a coach for yourself as long as your economic situation allows it. This will not only make you stronger and bigger but also wiser when it comes to programming and general strength training. Big mention to my already 15 months coach Marko and his MTS Coaching. Not only because he made me arrive here much faster but for teaching me how an athlete mind should be, worrying about me and being much more than a coach. And that's it, if anyone have any question related to my journey, feel free to ask. Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| 15 MINUTE LEG AND GLUTE WORKOUT Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:38 PM PDT Hey guys! I just created a follow on video for a leg and glute workout. I use a hip circle in this workout, but it can totally be done without it too. Let me know if you all enjoy it or have any recommendations for me. Thought it would be good to share for everyone stuck at home and wanting to workout <3 [link] [comments] |
| Is it ethical to ask for a refund? Posted: 04 Apr 2020 12:27 PM PDT Hi a few days ago I was really intrigued by a bodyweight fitness guy's gumroad BW program so I bought it. It was about 40 dollars in total. I even struck up a conversation with the him thanking him for his useful posts. Problem is the program is a little bit disappointing. Doesn't really offer anything new. I feel like asking for a refund but feel is it unethical? Should I have just thought more carefully about buying yet another program in the first place? He offers a 45 day money back guarantee. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 02:05 AM PDT I heard recently that one should do 40-70 reps per day/per bodypart. I'm currently usually doing 3-4 sets of 8 reps, and that sums up to about 24-36 reps in total, per day. Does that mean that I should find another exercise to do in addition to my pull ups and push ups, or just increase the amount of sets by 1 and reps by maybe 1-2 so that I hit that 40-50 mark? I'm a beginner btw, so I would prefer just increasing the sets and reps, because currently I can only do about 10 push ups and only pull up negatives or dead hangs, so finding some variations wouldn't be easy.

| This "water bottle workout" is claimed to be effective shoulder prehab, but is it really? Posted: 03 Apr 2020 09:14 PM PDT This simple workout was apparently built by former MLB pitching coach for dragon boat athletes (prone to shoulder injuries). It consists of doing high reps (60 reps) of various shoulder movements with low intensity (a water bottle in each hand). The program seems legit (based on the claimed credentials of its creator), but is it really? What's the purpose of doing such high reps? Getting the blood flowing? Increasing small muscles strength? Why not do fewer reps with more weight? Anyone done something similar for rehab/prehab? (for shoulders or not) [link] [comments] |
| Doing scapula pull ups makes my tricep hurt Posted: 04 Apr 2020 11:32 AM PDT Hi title is self explanatory when I do scapula pull up I have a feeling in my arm... it hurts around tricep area it's been like this for a long time went to a Phys check and was told not to overtrain/overstress so I was chill for a while now when I try to work my scapula it fucking sucks when I feel it in my tricep area note: I have winged scapula and rounded shoulders can they cause it?

| Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT Everybody talks about RR but I wonder about Move routine more. Is Move routine still recommended? Also how likely it will get an update? [link] [comments] |
| Heart rate to high when i do pistol squat Posted: 04 Apr 2020 10:43 AM PDT My average heart rate during my training session is about 125. But as soon as i start doing pistol squats it jumps to 175. I don't do cardio during my training. Is this normal? [link] [comments] |
