    I did GtG with weighted dead bugs for 3 months and got a lot of core strength gains

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 01:10 PM PDT

    My abs used to be very weak. I couldn't even hold the middle position of a sit-up for a few seconds without having my lower back bend backwards untill i worked my abs with dead bugs. So i wasn't able to do most ab exercises. But, now i can even hold a hollow hold for almost a minute while keeping my back perfectly flat. (No, i don't have visible abs. They are hidden under some unnecessary fat)

    I especially focused on my form. With each rep, i paused at the bottom position, activated my glute to deactivate my hip flexors, exhaled and pushed my ribs in. I kept my back flat and kept my pelvic posteriorly tilted. Doing a good form makes the dead bugs significantly harder.

    Now i suggest everyone with weak abs to do a lot of dead bugs. It is probably the best exercise for people with weak abs.

    Handstand stability on the ground vs Parallettes

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 10:42 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, Though I progress on my handstand on parallettes (about 20s), I came to a standstill on my handstand on the ground (about 8s). I can't figure out how to manage to restabilize myself on the ground. On parallettes, I use my wrist to help myself to correct position (~20s on parallettes). However, I noticed that on the ground I used more my forearm and I can't find the strengh on the fingertips. Do you have any tips regarding how to improve this strengh and any opinion regarding my form is welcomed. Thanks BWF from France

    Routine for a teen with absolutely no equipment?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:41 PM PDT

    I am a 16 year old teen who has no way to get equipment to workout. My parents are extremely strict and religious, they won't even let me go to the gym or even get a pull-up bar. As a result, I am incredibly skinny and weak for my age group. I would like to find a routine to gain more muscle mass and strength which I can just do in my room without any equipment whatsoever. I am a complete beginner to this so I don't know the amount of sets or what rest time I should include. I would be grateful for anyone that could help guide me out. Thank you in advance. Sorry if my English is bad, I am not an native speaker.

    Body weight strength vs raw strength

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 10:44 PM PDT

    Hi all, I've been grinding calisthenics for a few months now and am loving the results. I can tell I'm progressing on my workouts and am getting stronger. My summer job involves lots of heavy lifting (lumber, bricks, sod) and I'm wondering if I should expect a strength increase in that too? Is there a noticeable correlation between body weight strength and overall strength? Thanks for your input and stay safe!

    Muscles used in the advanced tuck FL

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 07:53 AM PDT

    After taining tucked front front lever for quite a while, i did the normal thing anyone would do, try and test my competency for advanced tuck. In the video that i took, i noticed that there was an obvious curve at my back, and not because i was protracting. The curve was most noticeable from the mid back, and curved in a rainbow shape such that the lower back and hip area is slightly tilted upwards, and not flat back. Is this a cause of weak lower back muscles? Or is it more of the abdominals?

    I originally thought it was a weak lower back, so i tried to train it but the only exercise i could perform at home was the bird dog, and even then i didnt feel any effectiveness from that exercise. I was told to avoid supermans because it could very easily injure myself, and there was really no other low back exercises to do. Does anybody know of good lower back exercises that require little to no equipment?

    My review of the Titan Fitness Weight Vest

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 09:03 AM PDT

    I have struggled in building up my reps with bodyweight exercises, this tool helped to increase my reps. I would like to try the Rogue vest, but I found the modular weight on this vest easier to adjust in 2.5lb increments

    One arm push ladders.

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 03:14 PM PDT

    What are you thoughts on one arm push up ladders? (1 rep, 2 reps, 3 reps) x3-5 is this a good way to accumulate volume to increase strength? Perhaps alternated with pull ups. Thanks!

    One punch man challenge

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 02:34 PM PDT

    Hello im sick of quarantine ive been sitting and playing 2 motnhs straight and today i decided to set up a goal. I'll do a 10km run, 100 push ups, abs, squats. Basically train the whole body everyday for 100 days. If i last i will take it to the next level and double the task, today i did a 10km bicycle ride and honestly at one point my heart was hurting so much i was at that point i'll give up. I've never experienced that much neck, back and heart pain.

    But i still finished it and i got to do the 100's still. I've ran track for 5 years but stopped for nearly a year because of laziness, I guess i'll take this quarantine as an advantage and train myself up until I really receive endurance and muscle. I'm not fat but i feel like i am.

    My stomach isn't fat just normal but my face has started to become wide and cheeks just cant tell anymore 😂. Chin is in great shape but when i feel it hard enough i already feel that its pointing down a little.

    So wish me luck hopefully i'll complete this challenge and get back on my track! I will show results later.

    Ps. Should i switch the sit ups to something else i heard they damage your spine. I also dont like planks. I have to use dumbbells for biceps because i dont have a bar at home.

    Noodle arms to BCT ready. Looking for advice.

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:46 PM PDT

    I'm planning on joining the military, but before I do I want to make sure that I'm physically prepared. I've never exercised consistently except for in high school when I took a weights class to get out of band.

    I have the body type of Gumby (being tall and lanky) and currently, I need to gain about 40 lbs according to the US military website. Every fitness plan I can find is made for someone with a background of working out already, but I can't find one for a weak person like me.

    These are my current workouts: -Curls/ hammer curls -plank -sit ups -crunches -alternating push up stances wide, normal, tricep and diamond (with knees instead of feet) -flutter kicks -not sure what they're called, but I'd describe them as tricep curls

    My only fitness equipment is dumbbells and a yoga mat. If anyone has advice on a routine or exercises to prepare for basic training I would greatly appreciate the help.

    EDIT: Army requirements are 35 push ups, 47 sit ups and a 2 mile run in under 16.5 minutes, but I also have to be physically ready for multiple miles of ruck marches with a 35lb backpack, Kevlar helmet and ~8lb rifle in my hands.

    Archer pushup problem

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 06:36 AM PDT

    I have a significant strength imbalance between my two sides, plus I also have uneven pecs, which I'm trying to correct with unilateral pushup variations like archer pushups and one arm assisted pushups.

    The problem is the shoulder of my extended supporting arm hurt during these. Any type of fly movement in general pisses off my shoulder.

    Are there any unilateral pushup variations other than archer pushups? I can't do one arm pushups (the core is a big limiting factor anyway).

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Can gymnastic rings on ceiling can cause any floor problem?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:57 PM PDT

    Thinking of hanging gymanastic rings on 1 flange of I-beam joist in basement. The rings will be 50 cm apart.

    I heard that a punchbag connected to a basement ceiling can cause the whole house to shake.

    I would like to hear your experience on putting gymnastic rings on I-beam joist.

    Mine has a drywall ceiling, so I can't do any contruction work or just loop the gymanstic rings around the I-beam.

    My ibeam flange thickness requires me go with use 1.5 lag screw at most.

    Currently, I can only find 1/4 inch x 1.25 inch lag screw.

    But is it safe to use 1/4inch x1.25 inch lag screw with ceiling mount that is designed for 5/16inch x 3inch lag screw?

    1/4inch might barely fit in my ceiling mount, but I don't have 1/4inch lag screw to try on yet.

    Edit:

    https://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=87697

    I found this. The last guy wrote:

    "That I-beam rail is only like 1" or 1.5" thick? After that, you're going into the end-grain of, like, 1/2" OSB; a lag bolt will just blow that out."

    I'm pretty much done with Reverse Hyperextension. What now?

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 02:06 AM PDT

    See title. I'm at 3x8 Reverse Hyperextensions with straight legs, taken from the RR. Where do I progress from there? Just go to a higher volume? I don't really like going for more than 8 or 10 reps with this, as it's a very uncomfortable position to breathe in, but I want to keep strenghtening my lower back, because this is historically where I have problems if I don't keep it trained.

    Advice regarding telescopic pullup bars

    Posted: 21 Apr 2020 03:42 AM PDT

    Long story short I am stuck at home due to the pandemic, and I am scared doing push routines only will injure me because I didn't balance it with pulls. I have a pair of gymnastic rings, but no bar to hang it from. I also can't drill a pullup bar into my doorframe as my landlord is a bit of an arse, so can anyone recommend some suggestions? So far I think telescopic pullup bars are the most suited to my situation, but I can't seem to find one that is of a good quality.
