| Ring Pull-ups are harder than bar pull-ups - my recent revelation Posted: 29 May 2020 03:31 AM PDT For a few months now I have been training on rings instead of bar. As I understood when I first starting working on them moves over the rings where significantly more difficult than under. I still struggled with pull-ups on them naturally due to the swinging of the ropes. When I first started the RR I was practising pull-ups on swing sets with thick bars and could only knock out three, the third with a real struggle. This was a serious wake up call to how little strength I had, especially in terms of pulling. My goal was to get to five which I eventually achieved through adding negatives after full reps. As I said the rings presented a challenge. Switching to rings four was the max in the beginning then I progressed to six which is my current number of reps for each 6. The other day I decided to switch to the bar - a goal post - on pull-ups and to my amazement I knocked out 8 no sweat and could have gone on till failure. This was mind boggling to me as I always understand ring pull-ups and bar pull ups had the same level of difficulty. Only a few months before I was struggling for three on the same bar and now was doing 3 sets of 8. But why is it that I have difficulty with the rings and not the bar? Has anyone else had the same experience? [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to be skinny and have a good vertical leap? Posted: 29 May 2020 12:15 PM PDT I'm 15 years old, My height is 184cm (6 foot) and weight is 64kg (140 lbs). My bmi is around 18.6, which makes me kind of skinny. I play basketball and a good vertical is very important to me, but my question is, is it possible for me to perhaps dunk on a 10ft rim after taking my body into consideration and after about 2 months of core and leg cardio?

| Posted: 29 May 2020 11:34 AM PDT Everyone talks about how important it is to retract your shoulders while doing the front lever, however, for the back lever they say that you should keep your shoulder protracted because that way is much easier to do it. Why is that? Isnt it also dangerous to keep your shoulders protracted during back lever? Can someone explain this to me? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 12:03 PM PDT Hey guys So with gyms being closed for the last couple of months, I bought rings to attach to my pullup bar to give me more options for working out at home. I'm able to 3-plate bench, and can do 50+ pushups slowly with strict form With my feet on a chair, I can only do about 12 ring pushups in a set. I'm in a similar situation with dips, which I can normally do far more of on parallel bars I'm a little confused about how this translates for hypertrophy. Does the instability of rings causing me to only be able to do a small number of reps equate to an increase in weight causing me to be able to do the same number of reps? Because this is brilliant if it does - I also have an adjustable vest up to 25kg, so if rings really do help with hypertrophy this much, I can easily keep progressing while working out at home. It just seems a bit too good to be true that some instability could be this effective for muscle building - I thought you guys would be a good community to ask about the science behind this? Is it the same type of muscular failure as heavy weight training, or is it the stabilizer muscles that are failing therefore meaning less hypertrophy? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 10:11 AM PDT Since January of this year I have been training to achieve my first Muscle-Up on rings, however until now I have not been able to achieve it despite the fact that I have been very consistent (no miss one single training day), I do not know what I am doing wrong, if it is low volume, low intensity, bad technique, I would like some advice. Male Age:40 years (good shape, I have been training weights more than 12 years and bodyweight 4 years). 5'7' ft 156-5 lbs. My routine is as follows, Pull-ups with false grip: 3x 6 reps, Baby muscle-up with slow eccentric and RTO after dip : 4 x 3 (I only achieve about 3 seconds of Ecc.) Also I train for the HSPU 6 x 6s Tucked Bent Arm Stand 3 x 5 Wall HSPU wit 45lbs Weigted vest I train 3 times a week upper body, 2 times lowerbody. I must be careful with my elbows since I had tendinitis in both, they are already healthy now but if I crush them too much, they get sore. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 12:25 PM PDT So I used to work out about 4-5 times a week. But a week ago I stopped because I just have no motivation. I use rings and do the recommended routine idk if that's important. Is there any tips or tricks you have to motivate yourself during isolation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 10:17 AM PDT Ive been climbing/boulderig for a year now and been trying some low-level calisthenics for half that. So whats a good starting point for weighted pullups? (60kg, 132lbs, male) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 11:14 AM PDT Not been able to use a doorway pull-up bar because the trim around the door was too thick, mostly at the top and the pull-up bar couldn't hook on, or sit on top of the trim? I've needed to move around a lot, or brought my pull-up bar to a family member or friend's and there have been several times I haven't been able to use it because the trimming was too thick and my pull-up bar wouldn't fit along the top. If this has happened to you, what did you do, if anything, or did you just sulk about it like I did? 😂 Photo of what I mean https://imgur.com/a/U6hjyVh [link] [comments] |
| Strength Training For Seniors? Posted: 29 May 2020 12:45 PM PDT My dad is 63 years old, a retired teacher, been smoking for over 40-45 years. He used to be a farmer as well, so he is still relatively strong for a 63 year old man. He has some knee and back pain, nothing Chronic. Is it a good idea to try persuading him to do some Training?? if so, what kind of training?? (Strength,cardio, etc) [link] [comments] |
| Gaining muscle, losing strength? Posted: 29 May 2020 12:32 PM PDT For the past two months I've been working out pretty regularly. I started being able to do around 50 pushups in one set. Over time I can see that I've gained muscle, but now I can only do 10-20 pushups in a set. Has anyone else had this problem? I figured maybe I was overworking, but I took a week off and saw no change. I've been sleeping alright and doing my best to get enough calories and protein (although I do have the occasional day where I forget a meal). It seems to be upper body that is primarily losing strength, I've been able to progress with things like split squats and calf raises but not pullups or bicep curls. Also, I haven't gained enough weight to affect a pushup. [link] [comments] |
| In what circumstances should direct core work be implemented? Posted: 29 May 2020 08:28 AM PDT Why do gymnasts spend so much time on core work? I've seen loads of core workouts from gymnastics coach's on instagram, I was under the impression that compounds like the front lever, planche and other basics would be enough already. The only area where I think it would be smart to implement core work is working on compression strength for the press HS or V-sit/manna. Personally I've acheived a front lever and straddle planche without any direct core work as it's always the shoulders/back that give out first. [link] [comments] |
| A workout routine for a higher vertical jump? Posted: 29 May 2020 12:38 PM PDT I'm 15 years old, My height is 184cm (6 foot) and weight is 64kg (140 lbs). My bmi is around 18.6, which makes me kind of skinny. I play basketball and a good vertical is very important to me. Does anyone have any or following any workout routine for a higher vert? if so, can you give me some ideas? [link] [comments] |
| Question about shoulder width grip pullups Posted: 29 May 2020 12:18 PM PDT I'm improvising my workout setup, and I currently work with a 60 pound resistance band and a wooden bar that I hung over my door. The problem is that the bar is too short and I have to grip it at shoulder width. When I do pullups on it, it feels like I'm not doing much for my back. Doing to failure, the muscles I feel activating are right below my rear delts. Looking it up, I'd say the teres major is working. Are the pullups working as they should, or should I find a longer bar to do it with? For my back, other than the pullups I do lats by straight arm pushdowns and tucked front lever, I do rear delts by leaning against the wall supported by my fists, I do face pulls and kinda bodyrow type pulls with my resistance band, and I do shrugs with my resistance band for my traps. If you guys have any 'no setup required' bodyweight workout suggestions for me I'd love to know about them. I'd say I'm an intermediate, I can do 5 pullups in one set, and 4 or 5 sets with 2 minute breaks in between. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 11:17 AM PDT Hi, I've been following the below routine for the past month and was wondering whether building a noticeable amount of muscle from it is a realistic expectation. Stats: Age = 29 Gender = male Weight = 89kg Body type = looks like he works out, but clearly likes cake aka skinny fat. Goal = build muscle, lose fat. Typical day diet: No food from 22:00 to 12:00 Lunch = Fresh chicken thighs, pasta, kale, courgettes with grated cheese. Snacks between lunch and dinner = nature valley peanut and dark chocolate x 2, greek yogurt with oats and dark chocolate chips, banana or apple. Dinner = Pork belly with roast potatoes, carrots and red peppers Post dinner snack = nature valley peanut and dark chocolate Workout routine for the last 4 weeks: Weighted knuckle push ups (10kg vest) for ten reps for ten sets spread through the day. Four sets of the ten sets will be done during my heavy bag workout. So one set, then 3 minutes round, another set, another round, another set, another round, another set. The next day I'll do the same, but replace weighted push ups with bodyweight pull ups at seven reps per set. Also 5km-7km run twice a week in the morning. Should I see gains if I carry on with the above? Thank you for your time Edit = formatting on a phone is no bueno [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 May 2020 11:04 AM PDT Hey, I'm trynna see if there's any workout routine that will REALLY get you somewhere. I'm skinny and I want to gain muscle. I have access to a pullup bar only. I'm also willing to dedicate an hour per day for the workout. Anything is appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Those who have the d root muscles how does one get it any particular workout and tips ?

Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Relatively strong core and low body fat (8%-10%) but no visible abs Posted: 29 May 2020 09:50 AM PDT Male, 1.65 meters and 58kg here. I can do front lever for few seconds, dragon flag and something between V-sit and L-sit for few seconds (more than 15 seconds on V-sit on bar). I was wondering why, even though I have a low % body fat (8 to 10% when I used the impedance meter [I know it's not precise at all but that's a large interval here]) and relatively strong core, I can't see all my abs, and can even see a little bit of love handles from behind. How can I get rid of them / Should I start focusing on my abs ? Currently I do 4 sets of 3 dragon flag raises and 4 sets of static L-sit 3 times a week during my upper body workout. And I've been doing this workout each day for 4 days : https://youtu.be/AQyV63pr10c. I don't really know if it's effective but it burns. Here is a pic of me right now, without congestion and without good light bc I don't know how to take a pic : https://imgur.com/rWM0Vb2 [link] [comments] |
| Am I making any progress if I am training to failure every workout? Posted: 28 May 2020 01:43 PM PDT So I have been working on push ups, pull ups and chin ups for a month and a half. I workout every time till failure but I am progressing slow on pull ups and chin ups, it seems that I am stuck at 6 reps and 6 sets of pull ups and chin ups. I work them every time until failure but no progress for almost a month [link] [comments] |
| Suggestions on exercise mat for top floor apartment Posted: 28 May 2020 09:04 PM PDT Hey fellow redditors, I'm moving to a top floor apartment with hardwood floors and I need suggestions on an exercise mat so I can continue working out at home without causing much noise for the downstairs apartment. This is a 1bhk so we have space constraints and would like to purchase something we can fold and keep aside everyday. Reasons for looking to purchase a mat -
Ideal size 5x7 or 8x6 or 8x5 Could you please suggest any workout mats for me? Is a workout mat better than a yoga mat for my requirements? I found that yoga mats are cheaper than workout mats. Spouse's (5' 4") exercise routine involves slight jump/rapid leg movement activities like burpees and some aerobics. Mine(5' 10") involve only bodyweight movements and I'm planning to get powerblock dumbells once they are in stock. So far I have narrowed it down to the below mats https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077M79C4W/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1SLMZY3BAQ42W&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0785JP9MG/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A2R8TI8VS0298J&psc=1 Thanks! MODS: I googled this and I could not find much info on exercise mats. There are reviews on amazon but I trust real life experiences from redditors much more. I have read the FAQs and did not find the anything regarding soundproofing equipment or mats. If this post is not allowed in this sub, could you please point me to the correct sub?

| Help on straight bar dips technique Posted: 28 May 2020 11:24 PM PDT Hi guys, I'm trying to learn to muscle up at home, so I have to go straight to the strict muscle up because I'm using one of those telescopic pull up bars, I'm training the straight bar dip part, but when I do them I can't lower myself down too much and even if I don't I feel pain in the area near the anterior delt and the clavicle but just on the left side. I can easily perform 20x5 dips on parallel bars and 10 pull ups so I should be able to slowly progress into the muscle up, any advice? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| RR modification for shoulder injury? Posted: 28 May 2020 04:39 PM PDT Hi all. Apologies if I'm running close to rule 2 here. I have been doing a version of the old RR for a while now. The upper body progressions I'm using are:
I don't do any special mobility or flexibility work for the shoulders on a regular basis. I have intermittent mild to moderate pain in one shoulder that I think is exacerbated by the vertical pushing. It goes away with total deloading. I don't work through pain though--none of the exercises hurt while I do them. Probably something is angry in the supraspinatus region (pain in the "empty can" position). My questions are:
