| I've made a Grease the groove template anyone can use Posted: 14 Apr 2020 05:36 AM PDT Grease the groove helped me increase my pull ups last year Mine So i went ahead and made one that is already configured, which means that you don't need to add numbers together, it does the math automatically for you to keep track: All you have to do is, press File -> Make a Copy [link] [comments] |
| Quick tip for having perfect pseudo planche pushups Posted: 13 Apr 2020 05:32 PM PDT People always do pseudo planche pushups wrong, myself included. We normally start with a planche lean, go down, then push up into a non-lean position. This approach is wrong because you are supposed to be on a planche lean all the time, and pushing up into a normal pushup position makes the push much easier. To avoid this you have to start in a pushup position with your feet pushed against the wall, and from there just move your hands to lean instead of leaning yourself forward. This way, when you try to push up you wont be able to break the lean because the wall wont let you. Heres a demonstration of the normal PPPUs and PPPUs with perfect form: Pseudo planche pushups without the wall and breaking the lean (can do 12) https://imgur.com/gallery/ijgRWU0 With the wall, and less lean cuz its friggin hard (can only do 1): https://imgur.com/gallery/KCZMVGZ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 06:08 AM PDT Hey guys! I revisited some old planche footage and was reflecting on whether I was too hard on myself for not counting it at the time because they were decent attempts. Anyway, I decided not to count it and that was that. And then, I received a new comment on the video from Yaad Mohammad (who can full planche!) saying he counted one of my attempts. This destroyed my perspective and led me on an emotional journey deep within my subconscious as to what it means to achieve any calisthenics skill and the even greater question of how do we let those skills define us? I dunno, what do you think? https://youtu.be/6fSQ7HMH_Bw [link] [comments] |
| Can I make my butt bigger with these kinds of exercises as a male? Posted: 13 Apr 2020 06:58 PM PDT Hello all. I had no clue where to ask this question, but this subreddit seems like the most relevant place. I am currently doing workouts like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqfkrZA_ie0 I am a male, and I'm doing maybe 2-3 of these butt/ab workout videos in a row, 3 times a week. I know I will get stronger/larger/more defined abs from doing these, but my questions is this: as a male, will this do anything to grow the size of my butt? Will it just tone what I already have? If you haven't guessed by now, I'm pretty queer and only want abs and a bigger butt, not interested in any "gains" otherwise. I specifically want to avoid my legs getting any larger, and I feel like this is inevitable if I want my butt to get any bigger. My ideal lower body is basically the same as the girl in the video, is this even remotely possible as a male? Any advice/insight is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 09:33 AM PDT Hi everyone. So I want to try to get into better shape, but have no idea how to set up a routine for myself so wanted to ask for some help. Live in a tiny place so can't really get any equipment so body weight seems the best. And can't just follow normal routines, unfortunately. I have serious foot problems, including severe arthritis in both feet as well as a bunch of other problems, all of which have caused extra wear and tear on my knees and lower back, so need something that focuses mostly on core and upper body, since I'd like to lose a little bit of weight and keep from adding any more to prevent further strain and wear. But I've got no clue what exercises would work best or how to turn them into a routine, or how often I should be doing that routine. If anyone could please offer some pointers, or direct me to a routine they know of that might work, I'd be super grateful! [link] [comments] |
| Can calisthenics worsen my scoliosis? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 10:38 AM PDT Hello guys. I've created this throwaway (just to post on this subreddit) because I feel so fucking ashamed of myself and so useless right now. I'll explain myself now and I hope you'll excuse my English and the long post (tl;dr at the end). Background (You can skip this part if you want) After that I've started to feel always tired, for example during my workouts (Sometimes I couldn't breath properly), after my workouts, always, basically! Every tiny movement could made me feel laboured... For those reasons I've spent some periods of the past 3 years by taking a lots of clinical examinations. I've been around doctors and hospitals for so long that I became depressed and anxious (I had no psychological support during this time, except for my friends). The doctors said that I was suspected to have addison's disease. During that terrible period I had lost all the little gains I achieved and I stopped working out. In the end I didn't have that disease and I felt that I had just wasted 3 years of my existence. In the meantime my posture had worsen again and so, finally free of all that medical madness, I decided to start postural training again, during the last summer. But since I had to move to another city for University, I stopped again. My questions I've recently taken a medical examination with an orthopedic and he said that I can start with bodybuilding or anything else because my posture is okay. I still have a little bit of scoliosis but he said that I can't do anything about it. He only recommended to avoid some exercises such as squats, leg press and steps because they can damage my spinal column. At this moment I'm so out of shape that I couldn't do more than 4 push-ups and when I finished everything hurt. So the problem is that I fear I could worsen my scoliosis by not doing some exercises properly. What do you guys think? Should I try to start with calisthenics anyway? Should I wait the end of this quarantine so I can go to a calisthenics gym where an experienced personal trainer could follow me? Which exercises can be a good alternative to squats? PS: Here are two photos of my actual physique condition and posture. tl;dr I had a terrible posture, I've fixed it during time with postural training. I have a little bit of scoliosis left and I fear I can worsen it by doing exercises badly. [link] [comments] |
| What is better for building muscle/adding weight? Normal workout (like RR) or Grease the Groove? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:37 AM PDT |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:22 AM PDT Hi guys I'm new here . I honestly don't know where to start: I am 26 years old with a bit of a belly I'm (skinny fat ) or rather borderline so would love to focus on cardio mostly I mean surely that's the first place to start ? I would say I roughly weigh 70kg(150lbs) something along those lines I'm honestly wondering what I should start off at bear in mind I lack and form of flexibility especially in my legs and I have seen a few things some people are doing which I definitely will not be able to do( in terms of flexibility? Do I need to stretch before after ? Do a pre routine work out ? Do I have to watch my diet entirely ? Is it good to eat before or after working out? Any advice is appreciated especially in this time in lockdown [link] [comments] |
| Where have you had your most memorable workouts? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 03:23 AM PDT One of the things I love about Calisthenics is that you can train anywhere at any moment. With this, I thought it would be fun to talk about your favourite workout location or memory working out somewhere on holidays or working abroad etc. The first place I ever tried to do a chin up (with shitty form) was in a playground gym in my apartment complex in Beijing seven years ago. The following winter I did Erasmus in Krakow and did tricep dips on park benches and chin ups on a tree branch in the park outside my apartment. I've worked out on pull-ups bars on muscle beach, cold parks in Poland, a goal post in a field near my home and on my door frame on rainy days. Each location brings with it a different memory and whenever I reflect on my training, it brings me back to that day one trying to get that chin up for the first time. Here's to everyone trying to get their first. It's a great journey. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:16 AM PDT Hey guys, so I've been boxing for a few years now and would consider it to be the focus of everything I do athletically. When I first started boxing it was weightlifting but after a year quit because it was too taxing on my body for what I was doing in training. I miss the confidence and the look I got from weightlifting. Would calisthenics be a good strength training substitute if I'm still boxing? If so is there any program you'd recommend?

| Best position to place weight for weighted push ups? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 09:37 AM PDT I generally train for strength and I can get around 30+ body-weight push ups with strict form. I feel like repeatedly doing this isnt going to build any strength due to the rep range. I have small plates from a dumbbell and plan on using these to increase the weight. But im unsure of what position on my back is optimal? I was thinking of stuffing a backpack with clothes + weights to keep the position secure. If I just put them in my an empty backpack they all end up on my lower back and its causing some strain that doesnt feel right. But where should I be aiming on my back? [link] [comments] |

| Grease the groove for multiple exercises Posted: 14 Apr 2020 12:31 PM PDT So, if I want to do a short circuit with pull ups, push ups, squats, and some ab work One series about half my max rep number, several times a day. Will I raise the total rep I could do in each of these exercises? [link] [comments] |
| Safe way to exit parallettes when going heel first? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 12:17 PM PDT How do you safely exit a handstand from parallettes when you're going down backside first? Would it be safest to basically turn it into a somersault? I've been wanting to try a handstand on parallettes for a while but I want to know how to prevent injury the best I can. I can hold a handstand pretty well on the ground. occasionally there are times where I get my heels too far forward but on the ground it's easy to just walk a step or two to fix the problem and I know I won't be able to do that on parallettes [link] [comments] |
| Does any one here on convict conditioning Workouts Posted: 14 Apr 2020 12:13 PM PDT I have a question: how long it last for you to end the New Blood Routine? [link] [comments] |
| Am I doing Archer Push-ups properly? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:39 AM PDT |
| Transitioning from narrow neutral-grip pull ups to normal chin-ups... Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:25 AM PDT Hi, I have a doorframe pull-up bar that I've been using for a while. Because of space constraints the one grip I can use is neutral and quite narrow, substantially narrower than my shoulders. I've gotten decent at these, maybe 8 reps at bodyweight but I noticed it seems to be almost entirely an arms exercise with minimal lat engagement. Well I decided I wanted to proper chin-ups (palms facing me, shoulder width grip) on my squat bar. 90% of the ascent is easy but I simply cannot complete the final part where my lats draw me all the way in to the bar. So my question: how do I transition to chin-ups if I can't do one rep? I know jumping with controlled negatives is one possibility. Have any of you had success with that? [link] [comments] |
| Alternative to diamond pushups? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 11:15 AM PDT I'm following the Recommended Routine and I'm finding the basic pushups pretty easy so I want to move onto a new progression. I've tried doing diamond pushups but when I lower my body, my hands start sliding a little and they feel awkward and a little painful to do. I'm 90% sure my form is correct. Are there any diamond pushup alternatives so I can avoid the pain? If any of it helps I'm 15, 5'7 and 64kg. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 10:59 AM PDT Hi guys, just joined this community. I'm excited to start the recommended routine today, but I don't understand how I'm supposed to do the hinge progression AFTER one leg dead lifts without any equipment. There is no explanation on how to substitute the GHR stand/equipment, I don't see anything about it in the FAQs and I don't think most people have one in their house. Any help would be appreciated. On a side note, I was curious why back/bi and chest/tri get 2 exercises each whereas quad and hams get only 1 each. I don't doubt the program but seems imbalanced to me at first glance. Any reason behind it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 10:53 AM PDT So a little background, I'm moving in with some buddies of mine for college in a few months, and so I thought I should put in some money and effort to get a fixed place at home I can workout. I understand I don't need anything crazy, just a place for pullups, dips, rows, rings, etc. I also understand it's not entirely necessary, but I personally feel more motivated to workout when I don't have to DIY everything. So with that said, any recommendations on basic, affordable home gym/pull up station setups? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Apr 2020 10:53 AM PDT I've been training basic calisthenics since a year now. I wasn't able to a single pull-up back then. Now I've learnt to do about 20 at a time and I'm practicing archer pull-ups, shrimp jumps etc. And I've been practicing handstand holds to the wall to build basic hand strength for planche progressions. I can hold my own weight on my arms if they're bent. I never knew keeping them straight was a part of the handstand progression. I've joined a calisthenics fitness center and they're helping me with proper progressions. So since I started with handstand holds and tuck holds with straight arms, I feel like I'm giving a lot of pressure to my elbows. It slightly pains at the end of workouts. Since we're in quarantine and I cannot visit the fitness center to get proper coaching, I wanted to know if hyperextension is a genetic trait or is it a result of bad postures while growing up/practicing? If I already have hyperextension in my elbows (just out of curiosity - I don't have it), can I not train for planche? [link] [comments] |
| How can I increase the difficoulty of reverse hyperextension? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 10:04 AM PDT I saw some videos, but everyone was using plates which I don't have. Is there any way to make reverse hypertension more challenging without weight? Or what should I use instead of plates? [link] [comments] |
| Maintaining eccentric (negative) even if I can do the concentric (positive)? Posted: 14 Apr 2020 06:26 AM PDT Hi, I'm somehow starting to follow a bodyweight routine but I'm not new to fitness, the concepts of overload in bodyweight are not new to me either (climbing for a few years already) but the tempo and its importance in bodyweight training still confuses me. I came across some routines from Tom Merrick before finding the RR and I wonder why would I want to maintain the eccentric part of a movement for 3-4 seconds if I can already do 5 solid reps. Is it the time-under-tension provided by the eccentric part of the movement beneficial enough to justify the fatigue created? For example, wouldn't it make more sense to do 8 regular pull-ups than 5 pull-ups with a 4-0-1-0 tempo (4 seconds eccentric)? What if I am able to do 5 weighted pull-ups with +20kg? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2020 08:34 PM PDT Hi everyone, so I weight 180lbs ~14% bodyfat and is 5'10" with 5 years lifting experience and has been working on calisthenics for two years now. I can do free body handstand push up, 90 degree hspu, front lever, back lever, handstand press and straddle planche. The problem is i have been trying to get full planche for 2 years now and its the only thing I'm stuck on. My best hold with good form is 3 seconds and after that I never got to that level again. Alot of people were telling me to do more statics and endurance training but it doesn't seem to work for me, on the contrary I feel very fatigued and destroyed from endurance sets when I tried what they did whether its holding more static tuck planches and/or doing planche leans. I feel like I got this far because dynamics movements and high intensity low volume and working out 3-4 times per week or less for sufficient recovery. Additionally what really broke me recently was I have been training for 2 years for the full planche and barely have it but this kid I know who started for 7 months already have a full planche + add I have worked for in two years. I know he is shorter and much lighter than me (~150lbs) but he tells me he trains everyday and does an ungodly amount of volume and reps. This still broke me though because to get to where I am in 7 months while it took me two years. Not to mention him having the "ripped calisthenics looks" compared to me who looks like a normal person who lifts weight. I just feel very demoralized that I tried so hard and commit so much only to be bested by another guy who got to where I am with a quarter of the time it took me. I would like to hear your thoughts on how you progress, breakthrough stagnations, and if anyone have any suggestions to my workout plans or even if its as simple as me needing to lose weight. Thank you for listening, I'm just very lost right now. [link] [comments] |
