| How to begin learning Callisthenics skills? e.g. Frogstand, One Arm Push Up, Front Tucked Lever. Posted: 03 Apr 2020 08:09 AM PDT Hey Reddit, I know how to try and Frogstand, but I don't know how to get good at it. (e.g. How do I build up to it? How many sets of reps for how many seconds do I try to do it for? How often do I train this move, 3-5 times a week? How long do I train it for during one workout? Do I train multiple Callisthenics skills in one session?) Thanks for reading, I hope you can guide me into this wonderful world of fitness. [link] [comments] |
| 1-Month Progress, just need the motivation! Posted: 03 Apr 2020 11:14 AM PDT Hey guys! I know 1 month isn't much, and typically little to no aesthetic progress is made, but I'm pretty proud of how much has changed in these last 4 weeks. I'm mainly sharing because as someone living in NYC in the thick of the quarantine I'm going a little stir crazy and just need some external validation and motivation hahaha! And hey, maybe this will act as motivation for everyone else new to BWF. I've been doing the RR 3x a week for 4 weeks, I started counting my calories recently and have actually been cutting at 1850 for the last 2 weeks, which is when I really began to notice the physical changes. I was certainly skinny enough to do a bulk, but my stomach has always made me hate walking around with my shirt off and I'm glad to say that's becoming less of a problem for me!

| Good skill exercises to practice on off days? Posted: 03 Apr 2020 08:48 AM PDT What are some good skills that don't require a lot of strength and can be practices on your rest days? So far I am doing handstand progressions and I read about the L-sit, but there seems to be conflicting information. Some say it's skill, others that it's strength and shouldn't be practiced too often. What else would you guys recommend? [link] [comments] |
| Full Planche, proper back position? Posted: 03 Apr 2020 09:50 AM PDT Hi there folks! I just had a quick question regarding proper form on the full planche. How is the lower back supposed to be positions when performing the move? I've seen various different positions and I'm not sure if it's purely a preference thing or if there's advantages/disadvantages to the different ways the lower back is positioned. For example, for some people I notice their entire body is hollow while others have some wink or curve on their body (I do). I'm just asking because I can do a full planche (or atleast I think I can) and I'm sorta hyper critical of my form and want to make sure I'm doing it properly so I can better progress to more advanced moves. Also, I don't want to claim that I can planche and in reality I can't, that'd be embarrassing and I'd feel like a total phony. I'm just trying to do it right and show respect to the athletes that can do the move. Here's a video of one of my full planche attempts from yesterday (I make some funny faces): [link] [comments] |
| What bodyweight skills/exercises make you feel extremely healthy? Posted: 03 Apr 2020 02:51 AM PDT Like, after doing it, you just feel that rush of "woooow I can move freely and I am strong enough to shape and bend my body as I want to!" [link] [comments] |
| How to stop tweaking ulnar nerve while doing pushups? Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:29 PM PDT I've been doing a lot of pushups lately, and I've noticed that my pinky is tingly the day after I do them. Apparently it's because I'm putting stress on my ulnar nerve which I shouldn't be doing. What should I do? Is it my form that needs changing? [link] [comments] |
| Naturally hyperextended elbows and training straight arm strength Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:13 PM PDT More or less as the title says. I'm trying to train my planche, but I'm really struggling. Even doing a straddle makes my elbows feel like they're dislocating (literally, I've dislocated my elbow before). What can I do to build up my straight arm strength in a way that will keep my elbows safe? (For reference, I can do a handstand no problem, and am about 80% of the way to a handstand push-up, so I don't think my general strength is the problem, just specifically my straight arm strength) [link] [comments] |
| Planche and OAC training question Posted: 03 Apr 2020 04:54 PM PDT How would I go about training for planche and OAC. Obviously both put a lot of strain on the biceps which is kind of what I'm concerned with as training one first would disadvantage the effectiveness of my training for the other. [link] [comments] |
| Are non-kip muscle-ups where you don't put your chest on the bar bad for your elbows? Posted: 03 Apr 2020 03:36 PM PDT I completely understand how people would think muscle-ups especially where you kip and lay your chest on the bar is awful for your elbows because of the impact when you put your stomach or chest on the bar, but if you aren't kipping and you're transitioning before your chest/stomach hits the bar, I don't see how it's damaging to your joints. Can someone explain? I only do clean muscle ups now and I haven't experienced any pain, while when I did kipping ones where I laid my chest on the bar my elbows would hurt bad. Did my elbows get stronger or are clean muscles up not really damaging? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2020 07:11 AM PDT Hello everyone, I am fairly active person that started bodyweight exercises because of covid 19. I play basketball on an amateur league and lift weight on the gym - well, I used to. Basically, sprints and anthranik's toe touch routine have been making the upper part of my adductors (the closes to the groin) umconfortably sore to the point that some days it bothers me for everyday activities. Any tips for that? Edit: sounds a lot like my pectnieous is hurting. And It hurts more when I am with the hips flexed or whilst flexing / extending it. [link] [comments] |
| Uneven / misaligned shoulders, strength and size disbalance Posted: 03 Apr 2020 11:51 AM PDT Photos with explanations: https://imgur.com/a/cAxBhAE Clear photos without explanations: https://imgur.com/a/iYj1ict Hello, hope you're all doing well. Since the age of 15, I've had multiple growth spurts, Today, at the age of 21 I am standing at 193cm (6ft 3) tall. However, I have noticed that my musculoskeletal system is not in balance - some parts are flaring, others are not growing the same direction, leading to tightness, one side being more developed than the other, and potential for injury in the future due to that. I have attached two links for photographs: -One link has photos where certain areas have been marked, with explanations of what I find/feel to be uneven and problems I encounter because of that -The other link has the same photos, but without any marking, so you may have a cleaner overview over my musculoskeletal system Background about me: 21 years old, active lifestyle I have been doing calisthenics over the course of 5 months - I have noticed, however, that one side is developing more than the other, regardless of how much attention I put on performing my repetitions symetrically My growth spurts would usually start with the beginning of summer and stop by the late end of it I have grown from 171cm to 193cm over the course of 4-5 years (5 ft 6 to 6 ft 3) during the spurts If this is not the correct sub to post, could someone please direct me the place for asking such questions? I understand this is Reddit, but due to the quarantine, visiting a proper health consultant is momentarily not available. Best regards! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Apr 2020 04:16 AM PDT Hello, guys ! I want ask about a exemplary routine for the Iron Cross.

| Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:54 PM PDT Hey all. Might seem like a strange question but my best mate often asks for my assistance with his body weight workouts as he dosent go to a gym. What he is asking me to help with is as he hangs from a bar suspended from the ground he hangs with dead weight ie relaxes his spine so his lower half is just dead weight. What he wants me to do is hang suspended from his legs as extra weight as he does the same exercise. My question is, is this safe? as in is this too much for his spine without tensing at all or it's it perfectly safe to do. For context we are 19, he's healthy and has no pain or past injury with workouts etc. Thanks for any advice [link] [comments] |
| Any recommendations on gymnastic rings? Posted: 02 Apr 2020 04:07 PM PDT Hey r/bodyweightfitness, here is another newbie post on calisthenic. After failing to find any available pull up/dip bars, I've turned to the more available gymnastic rings. Can y'all give me some suggestions on which type to buy? Any tips? Personal experiences you would like to share? Any help will be greatly appreciated!! [link] [comments] |
