| I need to rant about thin shaming! Posted: 03 May 2020 10:46 AM PDT I love seeing plus size women, curvy women or whatever posting photos of themselves in underwear, wearing what they want and doing what they want. While I understand they probably have their own battles with socialising and body confidence and it's not easy regardless of how their social media may portray, I am experiencing the opposite. I'm a 25 years old female, I'm 9 stone and about 5 foot 8. I am constantly asked if I'm eating, I'm told I look unwell if I don't have make up or that my face looks gaunt, if I wear a revealing outfit it's usually paired with comments on any bones that stick out. I've been called anorexic, which is offensive enough as I'd never even try to understand how someone with anorexia is suffering, and to suggest I am is an insult to myself and anyone who is anorexic. It has resulted in my confidence dropping so much I won't wear anything that clings to my body, I'll wear baggy jumpers and even my work uniform is a size too big for me. I won't wear a bikini on holiday or wear a skirt in summer. I wouldn't dream of positing a photo of myself in my underwear or anything revealing. My boyfriend reassures me constantly but it's even having an impact on him because I just cry whenever someone makes a comment about my weight. I eat 3 meals a day, sometimes more and I'm sick of having to prove to everyone that I'm ok. I am sick of feeling like being thin isn't good enough. I'm sick of feeling unattractive. It's sick of being told if I put on an extra stone THEN I'd be pretty. It's getting to the point where I'm losing my temper and getting quite nasty when someone makes a small comment. I've never been this sensitive, I never used to give a shit what I looked like. It makes me sad when girls tell me that they wish they were as thin as me because that would insinuate that being this thin or thin in general brings me joy when in fact, it's quite the opposite. I understand that if you are trying to lose weight it's not an easy journey and it takes some people years. And for people like me, I was born this way. I did not purposely make myself this thin. But when someone says I'm lucky to look like this I feel angry because I don't feel lucky. I feel like it's never enough and I'm unacceptable. I'd never dream of saying to anyone "You'd look better if you lost a few stone" I'd expect to get slapped! I'd give anything to not care but I very much do and I'm wondering if any other women experience this and how do they manage it? I want to feel accepted but in this society it's looking more like I'll just have to suck it up and get over it because I'm "lucky to be that thin". TLDR: I'm constantly thin shamed and want to know how other women handle it. Or men for that matter. Edit: Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, still figuring out reddit! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 06:48 PM PDT When I go to or go near to failure and get off, I start to feel like my ear is hearing my breath from my ears. Normally when you breathe, you can hear your breath from your nose. However, when this happens, I hear it from my ears as if the air is going through my ears, which I don't think it is. This situation is mostly easily reached after doing pull ups to failure or near failure. It gets worse as I do more sets. Or in other words, it seems to happen when my heart rate is high due to exerting forces. Therefore, even though the RR says to rest 90 seconds between the sets in the pair, I have to rest longer in order to reduce this effect before doing the next set. I am wondering if this is a common thing for people who train or a rare thing. Also, what is the name or how do you call this thing and what is your experience on this? [link] [comments] |
| Thought you guys might appreciate my body weight workout decision making chart Posted: 03 May 2020 10:59 AM PDT I've been doing body weight workouts in some form or another for 20 years, it's been up and down but it helped (and still helps) me keep my sanity amidst a very intense job with lots of moving around and (up until a few years ago) uncertainty. This chart hung above my desk a few years ago when things were maximally stressful and I found that it helped get my brain unstuck from exhaustion-induced apathy. Things are more settled now, but I find myself following this Rubrik still. Any workout is better than no workout. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kuXsTarApGN7DmHN1nq01GyC879c_Qgd/view?usp=drivesdk [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 03 May 2020 11:45 AM PDT I was just wondering if any one has the same problem as me and was able to fix it. I have weird abs, my top abs are super defined when flexed. However my lower abs are none existent, when I flex my core my lower abs and obliques are completely mushy when I touch them. I also have really tight hamstrings and chronic lower back pain due to sitting a lot. I've been trying to do dead bug exercises and hollow holds. I feel like my lower abs aren't activated enough and my upper abs and neck tend to take over. Do you guys have any suggestions, how I can improve this? [link] [comments] |
| Am I getting ahead of myself with planning on moving on from the RR? Posted: 03 May 2020 09:27 AM PDT I am a beginner. Other than one 5 day break I have been doing the RR every other day for the past 6.5 months with no previous strength training experience only ever doing cardio before. Some stats from my last workout:
Unless my form is horribly wrong, I'm beginning to reach the end of most of the listed progressions and believe that I will reach the "end" of most of them very soon. From doing research on this sub many people have suggested sticking with the RR for at least a year. I know I could technically add weight to these exercises to make them harder and add to my base strength. I've started to read Overcoming Gravity and have started to become both excited and nervous with the idea of designing my own routine or moving onto one of the suggested Intermediate routines. Am I getting ahead of myself? If I am, what am I missing? [link] [comments] |
| The Great Gama Protocol (GGP), has anyone bought it? Posted: 03 May 2020 12:06 PM PDT A simple, time tested "youth-restoring calisthenics" routine of ancient Indian and Chinese martial arts masters. https://simplexstrong.com/product/the-great-gama-protocol-ggp/ This is the author: https://www.strongfirst.com/author/pm/ I feel like there's a lot of pseduoscience in this book, judging by cover though.

| Posted: 03 May 2020 11:50 AM PDT hello! i'm trying to slim down my arms, they're currently 30cm around but it's all a little flabby. i see a lot of videos on youtube of women promising lean toned arms when doing their arm workout which consists of just swinging your arms around different ways. i also saw another video of someone commenting on those kinds of video's that they are just stretching exercises and won't do much. Now i'm a bit conflicted bc the people in the comments of those video's have a lot of progres! what is your opinion/experiences with those kind of arm exercises? [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight gym in a growing garden? Posted: 03 May 2020 11:49 AM PDT Hi folks, I'm planning to build a pull up bar and parallel bars in my backyard, but I'm also making raised garden beds and these will be sharing space. Have any of you built, or seen a build of, a setup that combines planter boxes at the base of the support structures? I'm already planning to use my 12' vertical 8x8 post that currently supports hooks for hanging flower baskets as one side of my pull up station, but if I can avoid digging another giant post hole by building a solid base structure for the other end, that would be awesome! Any ideas for me? I did a search but the posts with suitable content have dead links :( [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 May 2020 11:45 AM PDT Hey guys I am 101lbs at 5'10 and starting to bulk right now. Is there any beginner body weight fitness programs that will allow me to gain muscle as I have no idea [link] [comments] |
| What do you think about that upper body routine? Posted: 03 May 2020 11:05 AM PDT Push-pull Pull ups X weighted dips 3x6 Rows X pseudo planche push ups 3x8 Chin ups X straight bar dips 3x6 Bicep curls X elevated pike push ups 3x8 Commando pull ups X tricep extensions 3x6 5 supersets [link] [comments] |
| Programming of the core progression Posted: 03 May 2020 12:30 AM PDT What's your core progression? I mean, looking in the long period, what's your path of progression? I would like to discuss this topic, because I don't know what should I look for a good core programming. My current level:
Do you just maintain your core strength or do you choose other path of progression? [link] [comments] |
| Grease the groove and workout to failure 3 times a week? Posted: 03 May 2020 10:47 AM PDT Ive been thinking of doing GTG on rest days, today for example is rest day but im itching to pump out some pushups and pullups. So Monday: workout to failure(pushups, pullups,...) Tuesday: GTG(pushups and pullups) Wensday: Workout to failure, Thursday: GTG.... is this a good idea or will it do more damage than good? cheers!

| Progressions for Supinated Planche Progressions Posted: 03 May 2020 04:33 AM PDT Sorry, "Bicep Push Up" is a hot topic I know, but I haven't been able to find anything about this. So I've been training supinated planche leans and PPPUs but they just feel slightly out of reach and they never feel like I'm quite doing them right and getting everything I could be. I've tried the usual things of decreasing the angle and trying them kneeling. Raising the hands feels as though it changes the exercise too much and kneeling or box variations seem harder, which makes sense. I'm thinking of dropping it for more back lever sets, where I'm only on tuck vs having a full front lever, but again worried about changing the exercise too much. Anyone have any tips on how they bridged the gap for supinated strength? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 05:07 PM PDT some background: I used to be able to rep out shrimp squats until I broke my ankle about 3 years ago. I was able to get pistol squats back within a few months but my ankle mobility and coordination never came back on my bad leg. I try lots of stuff including running miles on soft sand barefoot, skipping rope, and doing various yoga things like lowering to warrior 3 I can currently do 10 pistols on each leg, full shrimp on my left and barely even lower with my right. I stretch my ankles and calves daily but I've been out of luck until recently For awhile I tried holding onto a beam next to me for support going into the squat on my bad leg but I never made progress. It throws off your balance much like doing handstand pushups on a box. My solution: I started putting a yoga block down and doing half reps, that is only lowering till my knee hit the highest part. This let me slowly start increasing my end range of ankle flexibility and since I have been able to get consistently deeper. I can currently reach the yoga block on its lowest setting which is HUGE progress for me. Some notes: make sure to go slow and controlled as you would with anything, only softly tapping the object you are lowering to with your knee. Shrimp squats are all about keeping your balance all the way through the rep, if you can't lower with control, don't go that low. Hope this helps [link] [comments] |
| Has your Planche training made you better in Arm Wrestling? Posted: 03 May 2020 06:23 AM PDT I have started doing Planche training from 1 May and I would like to know if it makes you stronger in Arm Wrestling [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 May 2020 01:43 AM PDT Hi guys. I've read that the PPL routine is better for muscle growth because you can produce more volume per body part in a shorter workout. However that means training 6 days a week which sometimes looks too much for me. The UL split offers two more days for recovery, but that comes with longer and tougher Upper day. My traditional pull workout has 5-6 excersises, just like the push one. So if I want to put the same volume over my upper body muscles in a week I have to structure 10 excersises workout. And that is a lot. Maybe I can create a 5 supersets workout but it's still pretty much. So I am ready for your suggestions. Is there an effective way to perform an UL split which is as effective as the PPL? Also if you know any good intermediate PPL or UL programmes (it would be great if they are free) I am ready to read for it. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
