| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 03:34 AM PDT Hi all, I've noticed that pretty much every resource I find for bodyweight training is created by men. I don't want to say it's designed for men, but I don't think it takes into account unique challenges women may have when it comes to bodyweight fitness, such as larger hips, a different center of gravity, and less upper body strength. For example, I'm finding handstand training very difficult and I wonder if there are specific tips for learning to balance in a handstand when your body holds its weight more in the hips than the shoulders. So my questions are both for discussion and seeking resources.

| V sit , triceps ? Hips ? Compression or abs ? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 01:19 AM PDT Hi all I've been working on V sits for awhile now. I'm quite dedicated to getting a super high V sit so I'm committing 2x a week to compression work. Anyways based on the y'all's experience which muscles are the most important to get a high V ? Or are they all equally important ? I don't feel cramps or anything i feel global fatigue if I'm being honest [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 11:37 AM PDT I am able to consume around twice the amount of calories I regularly do when I workout, but articles point to exercise suppressing appetite. Please let me know what is happening! Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 09:46 AM PDT Hello, I work out at home as a lot of you do. Some of you started recently too. Just now this video came up on my recommended list on YouTube and I really wanted to share it with you guys: https://youtu.be/9wnu_PLGzx0 It's a guy working out with his pet, very wholesome. I'm here asking you to share stories and maybe even routines or habits you have of working out with your pets. My Labrador died just yesterday, even tho she never helped me with workouts, I probably could have tried to come up with something fun to do with her. I read the full rules but I'm still not sure if this is allowed since it's a little off topic, I'm sorry. If this doesn't get removed, please share your stories. I'm having a really hard time and that video really made me feel better. Even if you just run with your dog from time to time, leave a comment. Pictures and videos are also welcome. Thank you :-) [link] [comments] |
| Pull ups enough to battle bad posture in these trying times? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 05:55 AM PDT Considering the situation with the quarantine, I'm spending absurd amount of time sitting on a chair, be it free time gaming, work or doing nothing, I am constantly by the computer and in the chair. Aside from the 1 to 2 km I walk with my dog through the woods I don't move a ton. Lately(past 8-9 days) I've been doing about 50 pull ups scattered throughout the day, and I've been wondering is it enough to battle the bad posture that is sure to follow this god awful situation?

| How to control negative muscle up? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 04:45 AM PDT Hello everybody, currently im training negative muscle up to achieve muscle up. I can do 20 pull ups , no problem with straight bar dip but when i can not control negative muscle up,i always drop down immediately. Any tip to improve this?Many thanks [link] [comments] |
| I picked up gymnastics rings, but they are splintering Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:31 AM PDT Hey all! I recently picked up some wooden gymnastics rings off Amazon but turns out they're made out of plywood and the wood is already starting to splinter. Is there something I can do to finish the wood so that it doesn't splinter? Or should I return them and pick up a different pair? [link] [comments] |
| Can't balance in handstand pushups. Posted: 07 Apr 2020 06:47 AM PDT I have been doing handstand push ups on and off for many years but despite being able to comfortably do HSPUs, I haven't been able to do balance properly in the vertical position. I can balance for a few seconds or balance when I'm pushing up but not for the entire motion. How should I improve on this? (Currently, I can do at about 15-20+ HSPUs in a set both facing towards and back from a wall. I can go from frog stance to headstand/handstand (pushup) but can only balance for a few seconds (<=5 secs) in the top position) [link] [comments] |
| Any artists interested in helping out on a workout logging app for android? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 12:28 PM PDT Hi all I'm a programmer who's into bodyweight resistance training looking for an artist to help bring some colour to an app I've been building in my spare time since around last October. I used to do traditional barbell weight training of which there are a ton of apps available to log your workouts. In the last couple of years I've transitioned to trying to achieve movements such as the human flag or handstand. Where logging my reps and weight lifted just don't apply. I found myself having to add loads of additional exercises such as 'Tucked human flag', 'one legged human flag' 'straddle human flag' then put the number of seconds held in the position as the number of reps... Just super awkward I'm a full time software developer so figured I had the skills to make something better. Which I have done and am using it 5 days a week when I work out. Problem is it doesn't look very pretty at all! And I'm the only one who gets to use it! In particular I'm after a launch icon then at least I can get it on the play store as a free app for others to enjoy. I'm thinking maybe a book with a kind of silhouette of someone doing a handstand on it. To represent a kind of workout journal or diary specifically for calisthenics style training. Spicing up the rest of the app can always come later but I do plan on doing that too, hopefully with some help from one of you! In terms of monetisation I don't have a plan yet I would just like to get it out there so people can use it. If it does well I think it would make sense to probably add adverts and then maybe a one off fee to remove them. If I do this you'll of course be entitled to some rev share. I've included some screenshots of the app in the google drive link. But I'm also happy to share the apk file with you so you can install it on your android device and have a play yourself. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_OgDz42ZYlDmpGBjKw96m8CvQ96nwV2N?usp=sharing [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 12:11 PM PDT Hey everyone, a little while ago two senior cadets from the Air Force Academy died within 72 hours of each other. I'm lucky to be a graduate from there and the senior class at the academy made a quick EMOM workout in honor of their fallen classmates and I'd thought I'd share with this group! It may not be the hardest but it's for a good cause and may even get a little sweat going. Every minute on the minute 20 pushups 8- 8 count body builders 7- pull-ups 10 sets amounting to 30 minute with 200 pushups 80 8 counts and 70 pull ups [link] [comments] |
| what do you do if your reps don't go up or they go down? (for beginners) Posted: 07 Apr 2020 11:57 AM PDT example: you stay between 6-6-6 and 8-8-8 for 1 month, and you're not strong enough to reach and stay at 8-8-8, you're dropping down here and then.. what do you do? skip the 7-7-7 and go to next progression or add weight? should one reduce intensity/volume? should one reduce frequency? should one sleep more, and how much sleep is ok? we don't want to sleep 12 hours to be able to make 1mm gains. I think I will do 2 instead of 3 sets. I might be training too much. [link] [comments] |
| Skeleton muscle mass dropped as body fat mass gain. What should I do? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 11:23 AM PDT I have been exercising for 2 months now, my average weight is 109 lbs. On 02/27, my skeletal muscle mass was at 47.0, and 20.3 % body fat. TODAY, SMM is 42.3 with 26.9 body fat. I cycled 30 minutes, 5 sets hip thrust, 5 sets crunches, 5 sets superman, protein shakes, all 5 days a week. I know it is really light but I've never worked out before. I also eat one main meal a day and smoothies. I tried to do other glutes workout with weight but I realized my quad was hurting instead so I took it easy and started with hip thrust. Any advice will hell! [link] [comments] |
| Training to get stronger at home but one arm pull-up hurts my left arm Posted: 07 Apr 2020 11:10 AM PDT I've been able to do 1-4 reps one arm pullups for years, over the last few years I've stopped training them because my left elbow flairs up even with a single rep, one arm hangs even aggrevate it. Today I played with reducing weight and still aggregates the elbow. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to rehab this funky elbow? Ps please don't rx rest, I've abstained from training pullups for long periods of time with no alleviation of the issue ( comes back the first time I try to do any unilateral work). When the gym is available I can go heavy with weighted pullups(+90/100lbs for low reps) without aggravating the elbow, I can also do one arm pulldowns with plus bodyweight without hurting the elbow [link] [comments] |
| Buying a pullup bar on amazon and no address works? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:50 AM PDT Anybody have this issue? I've picked home address, po box, amazon lockers and they're all rejected? I'm trying to get the Yes4All Doorway Pull Up Bar / Chin Up Bar over the Door for Home... [link] [comments] |
| Questions About Recommended Routine.. Detailed and not beginner. Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:44 AM PDT Hello everyone, First things first; I have already read Teach a Man to Fish, FAQ, Recommended Routine, and the Training Guide. However, I may forget or miss things, so I am sorry if my question is already answered. Secondly, I assumed that my questions are not beginner questions. Hence, I am not writing to daily thread, but created a new post. Required details: Male, 24, 173cm, 65kg. Goal: Strength and lean size. Overall goal is to reach good level of athleticism and become more anti-fragile. Routine: Until now, I have done a mixture of weights and bodyweight which is more focused on endurance. I am regularly exercising for 1,5 years, even though I happy with what I achieved it might not be satisfactory for a general understanding of the fitness community. Now, I have started to the Recommended Routine and I have several questions. To give an idea about my level I give details regarding each progression. Pull up progression: Regular chin-ups. Reps: 5-6-5 Squat progression: Bulgarian split squat with 3*8. However, this exercise doesn't make me feel trained enough. Dips progression: This was the hardest part since I can't find a proper space. Hence, I did between two chairs( hands are not the back of the chairs, but at the place where we sit). To create an enough vertical space for the movement I put my legs on a low box which results in an L-sit shape with an angle. I hope this is correct. Hinge progression: single-legged deadlift 3*8. Same as squat progression. I feel like I can do it more. However, I can't progress Nordic curl since I don't have a proper place to do it. Row progression: I have to be creative for this one, I use bed sheet and pull up bars. I do it around 45 degrees but I think need to be more horizontal. Push-up progression: Diamond push-ups 3*8. 1-) Considering my level and goals, should I continue with the recommended routine? 2-) During the training I don't feel tired enough compared to the more endurance-focused routines. From readings, I assume that this might be normal. However, how can I self-check whether I trained enough or not? Since I exercised in the morning, but now I don't feel tired. 2-) It is recommended that cardio training include on the same day. However, nowadays, the only cardio option for me is a bodyweight circuit and my gut feelings tell me that I should include it on a different day, what do you recommend? 3-) For the legs, should I use 2*6kg dumbells before going into the next steps? 4-) Probably, I am going to work on handstands as well and I like pike push-ups because of the burning feeling it creates on muscles. Should I include it anywhere in my routine? 5-) Lastly, does it make sense to make the five sets? Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| A way to row with neutral grip on bars? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:38 AM PDT Hi! I am planning on using the row bars near my home when everything opens back up. Curious: Is there any attachment or way to do rows with a neutral grip on pullup bars (inverted row)? [link] [comments] |
| If you were to suck on a lollipop whilst exercising, would your performance become better? Posted: 07 Apr 2020 10:03 AM PDT I was trying max push ups last night wirh a lollipop in my mouth and managed to squeeze out a few extra reps for a new best. Just wondering if the quick glucose could produce a significant improvement in performance. [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight Exercises and Hypertrophy Posted: 07 Apr 2020 08:25 AM PDT Common exercise theory says that the 8-12 rep range is the most effective for muscle hypertrophy. I am working out more at home now. Does doing hundreds of pushups accomplish anything as far as building muscle mass or does that just contribute to muscular endurance? [link] [comments] |
| I made a basic free Deck of Card Workout Generator. A good way to mix things up once in a while. Posted: 07 Apr 2020 05:47 AM PDT Whenever I feel like I'm in a rut, the deck of cards workout is one of my favorite options to go to. There's been some posts about it on Reddit in the past. In short:
I made a very basic free deck of cards workout generator (mainly for myself) if you're like me and prefer not to use a physical deck. You can give it a try here if you'd like: https://vegfaqs.com/deck-of-cards-workout-generator/You will need JavaScript enabled for it to work. If you run into any bugs, let me know and I'll fix them.

| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 04:24 AM PDT very weak body and not weighing 55kg. do you need a specific strength level to get something from gtg? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 03:02 AM PDT Hi guys, so I've decided to switch from weighted pullups to OAP training due to a plateau. I used to do 5 sets of pullups twice a week- the first set was of 3, and the other four were of 5. So I want to substitute weighted pullups with assisted one-arms (sets of 5) and here is my question- how many sets should I do per arm, per workout? Is 3 enough? Since I've got way more time now due to the pandemic, I think I can handle 3 workouts a week, I'll see how I feel. [link] [comments] |
