| How do you deal with insecurity in the gym? Posted: 05 May 2020 05:15 PM PDT I really like working out and I want to go to the gym more but I always feel really insecure because everyone around me knows what they are doing and when I go to the gym sometimes it takes me a while to get into the sense of things so I will just wander around about and I always feel like I look really stupid doing that. Also, I feel really awkward sweating in front of other people and I sweat a lot so I feel like a lot of people will judge me or think it's gross. Lastly, I have pretty bad eyesight so any time I do anything physical I've always worn sports glasses, even when I was younger and more athletic. I could never use contacts and I don't wear normal glasses because I do not want them to break. Do you know of anyone who wears sports glasses in the gym and what do people around them think? Are they noticed a lot? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 06 May 2020 09:34 AM PDT Hello there fellow bodyweightfitness members. I just came here to show you guys one of my favorite training channels on Youtube: Channel His name is Iron Wolf, he is in the US Marine Corps and does high rep burpee workouts, whichyou can follow along. I want to point out his great attitude towards training and hitting those high reps. If you follow along it really motivates you to see that men keep the same form in his 350th burpee as his first. I´m gonna tell you, his workouts are hard and you will get tiretd. But to say it with his words "If you don´t feel like training, nobody gives a fuck if you´re tired or sore. Gut it out and go train!" Would love to hear your opinion on this insane dude. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Weighted push ups = bench pressing? Posted: 06 May 2020 09:54 AM PDT I weigh 75KG and I bench 72.5kg for 6 reps. According to my weight scale, at the bottom of a push up I'm pushing 60kg and at the top it's 54.5KG. So if I add 12-15kg of weight into a backpack and do push ups with it, it would be the same as benching right?

| 1 Week / 6 workout sessions, my bodyweight solution to quarantine boredom Posted: 06 May 2020 09:01 AM PDT Hello favourite subreddit, I was hoping to share my routine which I have been sticking to for a month and a half now. I'm very open to criticisms or any opinions. I was finding it unsatisfying to leave an entire day of rest in between each session of the Recommended Routine. Even though I do a little bit of cardio every day it just doesn't seem to be enough as I have so much time on my hands. So I came up with a 3 day cycle (Upper Body, Legs, Core) to be repeated twice leaving a day of rest. The thing I am happiest about is having 2 whole sessions for core which habitually I have always left at the end of a workout, I feel like this has really improved my stability and my handstands. The other thing is it seems to be easy on my shoulders since I leave them plenty of recovery time (unless I randomly start doing pullups for the sake of it and then overwork them...). Also each of these workouts takes almost exactly an hour so I am very much hoping to continue this once the quarantine is over. Preface, I have a pullup bar, a TRX, a weighted 5kg vest and 2 10kg dumbells. All TRX exercises can be substituted with rings and there are curls variation on TRX rings as well. Day 1, Upper body (shoulder focus) 1:30 recovery between each set/exercise
Day 2, Legs, 1:30 recovery between each set/exercise
Day 3, Core, 45s break between each exercise, 4 min between sets, repeat the whole thing 3 times
Day 4, Upper body (chest focus) 1:30 recovery between each set/exercise
Day 5 = Day 2 Day 6 = Day 3 For all exercises I tend to go for the above reps, if I get over 8 or 12 etc for the last one I either add on the weighted vest or I start slowing the negative bit of the rep and then trying to explode on the way up. Most of these exercises' progressions can be found on the RR. The bicep and tricep stuff at the end is my lame attempt at getting bigger arms because I have some t-shirts i like which need filling in 😅 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| HSPU and Full Rom Pike Push Up transferability to OHP. (discussion) Posted: 06 May 2020 06:53 AM PDT So I was wondering, what would be more transferable to the OHP, would it be be the HSPU with no extra ROM (ex. a stomach to wall Handstand Push Up) or a Full Rom Pike Push Up (ex. a Pike Push Up where your head can travel more downwards due to elevation of the hands or in a flight of stair where your head can go down more). Furthermore would the Full Rom Pike Push Ups contribute to achieving the HSPU or would it better to elevate the feet. Any contributions are welcome, and if you just wanna discuss the exercises go ahead. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How to know when you are ready for a Muscle Up? Posted: 06 May 2020 11:22 AM PDT Hi everyone, So I read a little bit around this sub that muscle ups are a great exercise if you're strong enough to do them, but can be quite risky if you are not. So I was wondering how would one know if they are strong enough? And how does one get strong enough? (I am talking about strict muscle up here, since I have no interest in a kipping muscle up). Sure, being able to do 10-15 pull ups, but regular pull ups are very different from a muscle up and I dont think the pull up alone is good preparation. I have been doing explosive pull ups to the belly button level, but again it feels like a muscle up is quite different. I haven't tried a clean muscle up yet but would like to be 110% sure that I am prepared enough to prevent injury.

| Posted: 06 May 2020 12:15 PM PDT So i live in Islamabad Pakistan and own a pair of plastic gymnastic rings. I was wondering if they would be damaged if i left them out in the rain or sun. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Started bodyweight exercises and need help. Posted: 06 May 2020 09:49 AM PDT Ive always been athletic in terms of running marathons, sprints college football and riding team and have always been lean but also wide at the top if that makes sense. Recently started some exercises, 3 weeks ago, primarily pushups. As of now I can do 20+ reps wether its decline, wide, close, incline and some other variations too. I just had a pullup bar installed and I tried it but wasn't able to make a single rep, altho it was immediately after a cardio and pushup session I was exhausted but I wanted to know ho do I get around the pull up? How do I increase reps and get the most out of it? Any help'll be appreciated. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Appreciate advice and tips on my body-weight exercise routine Posted: 06 May 2020 09:42 AM PDT So I started a basic beginner body-weight workout ( https://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/ ) and I can do everything fine except for push ups. I'm just horrible at push ups and on the first day I could do 15 on my first circuit, which reduced to 10, 5, 4 and 3 today. Today I could only do 3 push ups on my first circuit after which I switched to kneeling push ups and managed to do 9 in total for the first circuit (3 regular + 6 assisted). It worsened in the next two circuits. How can I do more push ups? I assume my chest and triceps are weak and probably need to work on strengthening those muscles first. I added bench dips and star planks to the third circuit and am hoping this will help. I wish I had a bench so I could lift something from the bench press position. I have a solitary car tire but haven't yet found a use for it. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Exercises for gaining explosiveness on pullups? Posted: 06 May 2020 11:52 AM PDT I'm the guy who can only slow muscle up, and came with that concern about a week ago or so, and I've been noticing that I have 0 explosive power. If I try to do an explosive pull up, it's just a normal one essentially. Do you have any tips to gain more explosive power fast? Thanks in advance :D [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 06 May 2020 10:42 AM PDT Whenever i do push ups my elbows pop. It doesn't hurt but it's scary and annoying. How should i fix it? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it best to do cardio before or after working out? Posted: 05 May 2020 11:20 PM PDT Is there some advantage to doing it right before I begin my strength training? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need some guidance on workouts Posted: 06 May 2020 11:52 AM PDT Middle school lacrosse play and need some help Hello I'm a 14m and want to build some muscle over lockdown. I'm a 5'3 lacrosse player and am pretty fast but would like to get faster shot and become a little bulkier. Also I am pretty thin and don't have any idea on how to properly build muscle. For lacrosse I would want to work on my core to get a stronger twist motion for shooting as well as legs and arms. I don't have any workout equipment so body weight stuff would be great. I also know that what you eat plays a big part in building muscle so what can I eat to get lots of calories in me? Workouts and diet suggestions would be great!

| Bodyweight resistance training regimen and muscle retention/longevity Posted: 06 May 2020 05:35 AM PDT Hello everyone. Here's a topic that I seldom ponder over and would like to know what you guys know and have rather experienced. It's a thought simply out of curiosity. Is it a possibility that muscles built out of calisthenics/bodyweight regimen have an edge over the ones built using equipment, even to a small degree in terms of longevity? Could it be thought and drawn parallel to be having done with rigorous volume in calisthenics that have a greater long term stimulus and endurance response? Considering a same level of naturally built physique, when built using calisthenics and other using equipment, calisthenics one surely calls of more volume overall.

| Better to continue to advanced negatives, or do reps of the progression? Posted: 06 May 2020 11:25 AM PDT As title suggests. I've been doing RR. Finally got to 3x8 tuck negative dragon flags. So should I continue with negatives until I reach the advance/full negative DF? Or should I do tucked DF for reps?

| Keep falling on my butt at the end of a pistol squat Posted: 05 May 2020 07:38 PM PDT Hi guys, I was wondering if there were any more specific progressions for balancing at the bottom of a pistol squat. I am currently working on assisted pistol squats (just holding onto a table leg near the end), but I am struggling moving on from that since I reach the bottom and lack proper balance and just fall backwards. I am sure that I am strong enough, but I am just lacking a lot of mobility and balance. Should I just continue doing assisted pistol squats? Are there any good balance exercises to help with this?

| Advanced Weighted Vest Workouts Posted: 06 May 2020 10:35 AM PDT 34M, 6'1", 200#, Athletic Backstory: CrossFit for 3 years. Meals delivered. Cheat days once (sometimes twice) a week. Work out every other day. Bought a 20# weight vest when everything started to get shut down bc of the virus. Been doing bodyweight workouts with the 20# vest with a 1-mile run before and sometimes another mile after the workout. I basically do different combinations of sqauts, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, etc. in between. I'm getting bored. Does any know of any hard bodyweight workouts that only require bodyweight? Equipment-wise I only have the vest and it is hard to find actual bodyweight exercises that are advanced and don't call for dumbbells or other equipment. Just for discussion purposes, over the last two months using the vest I'v dropped 10# (start at 210# currently trying to maintain 200#) and now can run a sub 7-minute mile with the vest. When I started, I could only run about 1/4 mile at a time at about a 10-minute/mile pace. Attention: I'm sure this will offend some of you but anyone coming here to spout broscience about how weight vests can cause injury please kindly piss off. 😘 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 05 May 2020 11:08 PM PDT Any methods to correct muscle imbalances in the chest? I've been working out for a month and seeing progress, but my left pec is significantly less developed than my right. I've played right side dominant sports for a long time and that might be a reason. I don't want it grow more disproportionate as I work out more and my chest gets more developed. Thanks!

| Do isometric exercises like planks and ring ab rollouts cause hypertrophy in the abs?? Posted: 06 May 2020 12:14 AM PDT Been doing ring ab rollouts for a couple weeks now and was wondering if it would be a good idea to switch to hanging knee raises if my goal is for ab hypertrophy.

| Posted: 05 May 2020 11:20 PM PDT Hey everyone :) was starting to see some nice progress with weights and was kinda bummed to have to move to bodyweight because gym shut down... Now I kinda enjoy it haha. Anything I should add to this to round if out? Super set 1: Super set 2: Super set 3: Sometimes I also work in a few chin ups to further target biceps and chest flies with 10lbs Currently thinking that I'll want to weight my push ups and pull ups somehow, maybe with a backpack and some old college textbooks lol. Edit: tried to fix format probs made it worse [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Tips on how to get a Bent Arm Planche Posted: 05 May 2020 08:37 PM PDT I've been working out for a year, I lift weights with a focus on strength but my true passion is bodyweight training. Around 5 months ago, I set myself the goal of getting a 3 second Bent Arm Planche or 90º hold (Whatever you wanna call it). I started doing pseudo planche push-ups, focused on strengthening my anterior delts and every week or so I would try to get into a Bent Arm Planche. I would get into position, with my feet on the floor, and lean forward as much as I could, getting my hands as close to my waistline as possible and hold that position for as long as possible. It worked, I got stronger and so slowly I was able to last longer in that position but I was still nowhere near lifting my legs. Then around January, I got a resistance band. I came up with a way to use it to help my Bent Arm Planche. I wrapped it around my pull up bar, pulled it down and slipped my feet inside the loop. It pulled my feet up and so it allowed me to get into the proper Bent Arm Planche position. But four months later, I still haven't been able to lift my feet up on my own, I don't know if its a stabilization problem or a weak core or weak shoulders. It would be great if you could share some tips that helped you get a Bent Arm Planche or a Full Planche even.

| Posted: 06 May 2020 12:01 AM PDT Hi all, Happy to find this group, I used to pump irons few years back, due some bad/too much weight I ended up injuring my elbows and stopped since then. Recent years I have been far from gym but still doing some cardio and exercise frequently. Now I am at home and actually the exercise I do not feel lazy to do are the push ups, you tell me any other exercise and i can hesitate but for some reason I kind of enjoy doing push ups. So as I do not know that much about the different types would like to ask you guys a good routine of push ups in order to get better results and exercise more variety of muscles. Preferable 4/5 days per week. I am fit, could do near 100 of the standard/ normal ones and I am 2 meters(6.5 foot) and 95kg (200 pounds). Thanks in advance!
