Building my own outdoor calisthenics gym Posted: 03 Jun 2020 11:06 PM PDT Hey all, I've been dreaming about it for a while since starting calisthenics seriously 2 years ago and I've finally done it (with a lot of help from my best friend and my dad). summarized info first, then some details below that. picture album link Total Costs: $560 (I'll add Length, Width, Height dimensions later as I forgot to measure that and it is night time) Includes: pull up bar, parallel bars, and a bar for nordic curls. m/26/5'3" So I've lurked a lot of posts online about how other people have built their pull up bars and what-not and I knew I wanted one that was compact, that could hang my rings, and include a bar for nordic curls. My family's yard had space, although I didn't need much. The products used for the project is linked above in the Total Costs. The whole structure is extremely sound and my plan moving forward is to paint the posts, maybe put some anti-rusting agents on the bars (I live in Seattle and it's humid), and restoring the ground, getting some health back into the dirt and planting grass. Summarized Method: Plan layout, buy materials, call the city before you dig, clean area, check the weather. Dig holes (2 holes were 3 feet deep, 3 holes were 2.5 feet deep). Prop treated wooden post up and fill with concrete, constantly check with leveling tool to keep up-right. Repeat for other posts, making sure they are in line with layout plan and facing same direction as other posts. Drill holes into wood using spade drill bits, insert pipes and thread floor flange on. Drill holes, then drill in flat head phillip wood screws (2.5" in length) This is basically my first DIY project ever of this size and I rarely every pick up a hammer so my dad's wisdom helped tremendously on this one. These are the things that I've learned. 4"x4" and 6"x6" actually means 3.5" x 3.5" and 5.5" x 5.5" inches quikrete floor surfacer is not the same as concrete for wooden posts and is a lot, lot, lot more expensive (I made the mistake of buying 5 of these, 3 of which went into the first 6x6) Getting your dimensions and layouts right the first time saves you multiple trips to the hardware store. Always check the leveling tool, and the right-angle tool, we even got creative with string on wooden stakes to make sure certain heights were matching up from post to post. After we drilled holes on the posts some holes weren't wide enough and we had to widen the holes not just to get the pipes through but to get the pipe to meet the other post exactly where we wanted it. Digging is hard, but thankfully my buddy had a tool just for it. It's a giant metal rod that must weight around 30 - 40 lbs with a wedge at one end. It digs straight down, then we dig out the dirt with a shovel. When it comes to conventional concrete, make sure your water to mix ratio is correct. When using post concrete, put one bag at a time and water after each bag. flanges were meant to be on the floor with the pipe coming out the nipple side, but we had the flanges on the outside of the posts with the pipe coming through the opposite side. It made the posts a lot sturdier, but threading through was a little tricky at times. Always get more than you need, it'll save you trips to the store and you can always return what you don't use. Double check your measurements. Make sure you really know how high you want your pull up bar. I also had to decide on the height of my dip bars, and the bar for my nordic curls. That said, I definitely made changes as I physically saw the posts built. As for the pipes, I had to go back to the hardware store to get them cut and re-threaded because some lengths just didn't add up. That's it! It was a 5 day project, 1 for planning and 4 for the hard labor. If you have any questions, please ask away. Big thanks for this community as I've gotten a lot of inspiration from other people's home-made gyms, most recently u/thomaesthetics for his detailed post last week. submitted by /u/Kai-- [link] [comments]

Do you think my Workout Motivation is Weird? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:56 AM PDT Am i the only one who uses motivation by visiting social media profile of people who were in good shape in the past and let themselves go? Whenever i felt lazy going to the gym, i used to look at my high school Facebook profile page and take a look at all the dudes who let themselves go (Famous school dudes who were the team captain, physically fit, self conscious etc. The twist is after a decade they became fat, bald and totally far from their previous physical appearance) Reminding myself that if this laziness will took over what i started, i will end up looking like them. (Which gives me anxiety and energy to start the work out right away) Call me evil but it totally works 10 out of 10 all the time. Share to care your motivation? submitted by /u/favekokerrots_22 [link] [comments]

Build your own calisthenics gym (recommendations and tips) Posted: 04 Jun 2020 10:15 AM PDT Hey BWF, Due to quarantine a lot of people have been building their own calisthenics gym, and I've joined the trend. If you want a basic rundown on how to build this design, check out this guide and show some love to the creator (not me). Mine is modified in ways I describe below. That being said, this isn't a build guide, but a recommendation for certain design specifications that'll help you get the most out of your gym, what I learned in building it, and what I did right/imperfectly to help you construct yours the best you can. I work as a construction/painting/deep cleaning handyman, so I brought my professional experience to this project and hope it provides you insight. Recommendations Stall bars being perpendicular to dip bars. This simple design choice opens up amazing possibilities. Using the stall bars to support your feet, you can perform pike pushups on the dip bars with your feet at various levels. You can also support your feet on the stall bars and do regular pushups on the dip bars. This affords advantages over regular pushups: 1) your wrist position is healthier in neutral grip 2) you can go deeper than other pushup variations to activate pectoral muscles (be sure not to go too far and overextend your deltoids) 3) there is enough clearance between you in the ground to do weighted pushups with a dip belt. Five foot pull up bars. Long pull up bars give you enough room for wide pull-ups, or archer pull ups, which take the most space. By having wide bars it offsets the safety risk of having concrete feet around your posts (a negative I'll go into later). Dip bars 20" apart. This may very well change depending on your shoulder width, but a good average distance between dip bars is 20" for shoulder health. Common recommendations are between 18" and 22". Measure your shoulders and customize it to your needs! Don't just do what someone else tells you. This will effect the length of your stall bars in this design, so make that calculation first! Low pulp bar. Not low enough for Australian pull-ups, which you should do on the dip bars, but low enough that you can jump on top of the bar and do a negative muscle up. This also allows you to do an assisted pistol squat to assisted muscle up, a huge benefit when transitioning into more difficult movements. Stall bars protruding from the post on one side, with rubber caps. Having your stall bars slightly longer than they need to be gives you grips at various heights. This allows for inclined one armed pushups, and handy places to grab and perform stretches, dragon flags, etc. Doing this makes sizing the dip bars easier as well, because the length of your stall bars doesn't need to be perfect in order to space your dip bars according to your personal preferences/shoulder width. Dip bars supported on one side by 90 degree angle joints, not posts. This allows for freedom of movement and paralette work. You don't want to come down from a planche too fast and strike your body on the edge of a fence post. You don't want to have to clear the corners of a post when doing a retracting your legs from a wide leg movement. Having the outside edges be galvanized steel pipe joints is safer, and it is cheaper than posts, mainly due to the fact that you don't have to use as much concrete to set them (more on that later). Dip bars require less concrete to stabilize. The width of your post hole, and therefor the amount of concrete you need to set the post, is based on the width of the pole you are trying to set. By having one side of your dip bars supported by steel pipe, not only do you get the benefits previously listed, but your post holes don't have to be as deep or wide. Save yourself the work, money and safety concerns by making one side of your dip bars supported by steel rather than wood. Bars supported by pipe flanges/wood screws on one side, supported simply by sitting in a bored out hole in the post on the other. Your bars don't need to be fastened down on both sides. They only need to be attached to one post and sit inside the opposite post. This saves you money on flanges, which ran me $13 a piece, saves you on the effort of installation, and allows you to easily level the bars by seating them in the hole, then only having to manipulate one side. Also, definitely go with coated wood screws over bolts! Bolts are expensive, require washers and nuts, and unnecessarily protrude from one end of the post, creating a hazard. Four 3" in wood screws is more than strong enough, and remember: the other side is sitting inside the post itself, which is stronger than any fastener and keeps the bar from moving at all (except for the bar flexing under weight, which is minimal for a galvanized steel pipe). Hook screws to hang rings/dip belt. This is minor preference, but a very good idea if you live in a windy area. By putting round, rubberized hooks up (safely away from where you'll be working) you can hang your rings on them, that way the wind won't thrash them around, making unnecessary noise and causing dings in your posts or splinters in wood rings. Stain your posts. For $10 you can protect your structure and make it look beautiful with wood stain. Don't stick pieces of construction equipment in the ground and call it good. Stain or paint your posts before installing them! To avoid running textures while staining, have a few painter's cloths handy and wipe excess stains from end to end of the post. It's imperative when doing this that you start on one end of the post and draw the cloth all the way to the other side for a nice blended texture. This extra hour or less of work will make your gym look great! Also, be sure to paint your bars with an oil based paint. This will also only cost you about $15, and if you're following the recommendation of only attaching the posts with flanges on one side you are saving a ton of money. An oil based paint will survive the weather, stick to metal, and reduce heat absorption from the sun. Mine are black and I live in the tropics; it's still better than bare steel. If you have neighbors or cool landlords they will really appreciate it, you can make your gym your own. Calisthenics isn't just utilitarian; there's an element of personal style and aesthetics to it, so bring that to your gym. Use supports while the concrete sets. Don't just level your post and leave it! As the concrete dries the post will shift unless you support it. Use other pieces of wood and clamps if you have them to make 45 degree angle supports while your concrete sets for at least 24 hours, but waiting 2-3 days is recommended. You don't have to mix the concrete before putting it in the post hole. Having to mix the concrete first is a common misconception. You can fill the hole with around 6 inches of concrete, spray it with the hose, repeat. It's far less messy, and mixing concrete is work you just don't have to do. In rainy areas people putting up a fence can literally just fill the holes with concrete, support the posts and let the rain do the job. Don't premix your concrete. Drill extra wood screws into the base of your posts so they can grip the concrete. Take four of those coated wood screws you're using to attach your bars, drill them into the posts about halfway between the base and the surface, facing upward at a 45 degree angle. This allows the posts to grip the concrete similar to a rebar structure. It's incredibly cheap in the grand scheme of the project and will make your posts that much more stable. Bury your posts at least 1/4 of the way into the ground. The sturdiest post is at least 1/3 of it's length into the ground, but that's for building a fence that needs to withstand wind force. You're just a person, and your force is mainly driving the posts down, not to the side, so you can get away with burying a 10" pole 2.5" ft into the ground. This will save you on buying longer polls and allow you to have your bars off the ground so that you can dead hang and not touch the ground. Put a few inches of concrete below the post before setting it. This seals in the bottom of the post and prevents wood rot. It'll increase the longevity of the structure, and concrete is cheap. You will have to dig a few inches deeper, which is the most laborious part of the job, but it's worth it. Build away from septic tanks/buried cables! I didn't learn this through trial and error, but I can force someone making this mistake. Make sure it's ok to dig down 2-3 feet in the area you want to build your gym. Have your department store cut your posts and thread your pipes. First several cuts are generally free, after that it's $0.25 each. No more than $3 to avoid all that work. Things I would do differently Fortunately this is a short list, but there are a few things I'd have done slightly differently, so don't make these mistakes! Paint any bars that will be sliding through a hole after you install them. I only did this with a few stall bars, but don't paint your bar first and then scratch it off the paint by sliding it through the bored hole it will be sitting in. Definitely paint all your flanges, dip bars and pull up bars first, but in this design you should put the stall bars up before painting them. Or, you could paint them first, accept that they'll get scratched, and just touch it up when you go to do the second coat of pain (which you should be doing anyway). Concrete feet? They're pretty, but they are a safety hazard. Having differing ground elevations and sharp edges is not ideal, especially if you have children who want to play on the gym. Given that my pull up bars are so wide and there are no small children in my house, it's perfectly safe, but it still takes a few extra bags of concrete. The posts are sturdier, but I think that's negligible, while buying a footing tube costs about $10 and takes extra work. I'd recommend going without the feet. Buy more concrete than you think you need. I've set concrete before, but you can always return what you don't use, and I ended up using more. This was due to the concrete feet and the decision to put a few inches below the posts as well, which I didn't factor into my initial design. Concrete is pretty cheap, so just stock up and return what you don't use rather than making multiple trips. Conclusion Building your own calisthenics gym is fun and incredibly rewarding. Once you have it up you'll never have to pay for a gym membership, spend time and gas money going to where you want to exercise, can train any time without interruption or sharing equipment, and will have far more options afforded to you. I save about 3 hours a week, or 12 hours a month (that's 1.5 work days!), by working out at home rather than getting ready, stopping for gas, and traveling to my nearest gym. I save about 15$ a week, or $60 a month, by not burning gas in traffic. I save $25-$50 a month on not having a gym membership (depending on what gym I chose to go to). This project will pay for itself in four months. I can't recommend this highly enough; if you can build your own gym, do it. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer them! Be safe, be healthy. submitted by /u/vth0mas [link] [comments]

Recently got rings - Freakishly good experience Posted: 04 Jun 2020 05:55 AM PDT I have recently got gymnastic rings (wood), and I have done two upper body workouts. Not only is it incredibly fun to do exercises on rings, but the amount of muscular activation is honestly, surreal. I have never felt my chest working while doing either bench press or push ups, no matter what cues I followed. However, I can feel muscle fibers in my chest contracting while doing a basic ring push up, and that too while not being completely horizontal. Similar activation is there while doing dips. I had earlier posted about my failure to straighten my arms while doing chin ups on a pull up bar. I can very easily do them on rings, and I have started adding weight as well. Every single exercise feels great, and I can actually contract the muscles I am supposed to be working. IMHO, everyone should get a pair of rings, regardless of your goals. You would be surprised to find how great they are, and will probably regret how much you have missed out on. I saved up some money and I am glad I chose to not buy some PS4 titles. Edit: Here's a picture of my current set up: https://i.imgur.com/hWpFQyZ.jpg submitted by /u/CarrKarot [link] [comments]

How to deal with an injured shoulder/scapula during the pandemic? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:54 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm new to the community.I'm a 24 years old brazilian and I've started training calisthenics two years ago, seeing great progress throug this time. It became a central part of my life, bringing me joy and energy. During the last year I've started traning almost every day, doing whole body trainings and I felt in great shape. A couple of months ago I started spliting my trainings in upper and lower body to increase my strength and then decided to progress to training with rings. From the beginning I had no difficulties with my pull/chin ups, rows, push ups, bicep curls, leg raises, L sits, but I kind of strugled with suspended dips. I also started doing skin the cat and some other movements. At the same time I was training handstand. Everything was going fine, but two weeks ago I did an upper body training on the rings that left me with a little bit of pain in both shoulders. My shoulders and scapula were making some cracking sounds and I felt a really subtle pain deep in the shoulders. Both shoulders stoped hurting completely in two days so I was not worried, only cautios not to make a training yet. Then, the next day, with no pain at all but with all the stupidity that I have, I played with my nephew, who is 3 yrs old, I was throwing him up in the air and catching him, and after that that deep mild pain came back in my left shoulder. The next couple of days the pain did not get worse, but by the third day the pain started to spred a bit to my arm, chest and scapula. It stayed that way for two days and untill the inflamation pain that I was feeling got better. It's been two weeks since I started feeling pain, my right shoulder is great but my left shoulder still has that deep pain inside, kind of in the, and I also started feeling a very similar pain, but a little bit stronger, in my scapula, wich also makes poping noises. I still fell a little bit of pain through my arm, as if it was in the tendon. The pain seems to be geting better day by day, but very slowly. I haven't done anything with my left arm since it started. The thing is, I know that I should go see a doctor, but the pandemic situation in Brazil is terrible. We are only in the beggining of it and the governors are already liberating people to get back on the streets. I've been isolated and am very cautios not to go out, only in a very serios situation. What do you guys think? Is this a situation where I should go through the risk of getting infected by covid to try to discover what happened to my shoulder and scapula, or can I keep resting and healling by my own and wait to see if the pain eventually goes away. I'm really scared to go out, and I don't even know if I would be able to get an apointment, but also I really don't want to risk having some permanent damage to my body that wouldn't allow me to exercise. Sorry if I wrote something wrong. submitted by /u/Arkhantos [link] [comments]

People with overextending elbow joints, do you lock your elbows in all exercises? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 05:14 AM PDT For example, I'm training ring holds and ring dips right now. If I lock my elbows, the exercises become harder and I feel like more stress is put on my joints. Is this something I should want and train for or am I better off not doing this? submitted by /u/Plastic_Pinocchio [link] [comments]

calf raises not working calves? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:11 AM PDT hi just came here to ask for help regarding calf raises. when i do calf raises, my calves aren't getting worked as much as they should. instead, the muscle(s)/tendon right above the ankle area is the part that's actually getting worked/feeling the strain. my calves pretty much don't get worked. this is more severe in my right leg than left, since i can at least feel my left calf working when i do them raises. i don't even feel my right calf straining; everything is left to the tendon/muscle below. i'm pretty sure that's not supposed to happen, so if anyone could give advice to fixing that somehow it would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/moab1996 [link] [comments]

Question regarding front lever Posted: 04 Jun 2020 09:11 AM PDT Hi everyone, So i've been working on the front lever for the past 2.5 months and I feel kinda stuck. I started being able to do a 5s adv.tuck to just now 25s of adv.tuck I tried to move up to the one leg but even though I could hold it for 11seconds my form wasn't good at all my hips were sagging. So I looked it up and saw that it may be a retraction problem so I went back to adv.tuck, did lower series of hold but with perfect form. Now here I am at 25s. I saw the core may be the reason but I can do humanflag, dragonflag and have a decent core overall. My question is should I try to go for longer holds of adv.tuck or move on to another progression like the 1leg. Are elastic bands useful ? I've been looking into it as well. For those who have it already how did you transition from adv.tuck to full? For reference, I can do about 25 PullUps and have a +75% BW added weighted pullups. I should also note that I'm bulking right now and gained 5kg since starting to train the front lever so that makes it harder as well. submitted by /u/Neomob [link] [comments]

If you could describe the Bodyweight community as an aminal/insect what would it be Posted: 04 Jun 2020 07:27 AM PDT I have a close bond with this community. Starting bodyweight exercise helped me lift the biggest weight of my life, my depression. It showed me how to start on the exercise ladder and built up my confidence to the highest point it's ever been. I'm mostly a lurker but I was chatting to a mate today about bodyweight exercise and how amazing the community is and wanted to describe it as an animal but I couldn't think of one. Kind of how you see lots of Gorilla logo's for bodybuilding as they're so strong, what would represent this community? submitted by /u/arsenal99 [link] [comments]

Pull Up Dip Bar + tree for every RR exercise? Posted: 03 Jun 2020 06:23 PM PDT Like many people, I have been looking into the RR due to gym shutdowns. I have been compiling all the gear needed, and have found this piece of equipment in my searches: https://www.pullup-dip.com/pull-up-and-dip-bar (I am not affiliated in any way shape or form) It looks to me like this could be used for effectively every exercise, once you mount it in the position needed on the tree. Dips and pull-ups: mount eye level Nordics: mount at base, wrap with towel Row: Use rings attached to eye-level mounted bar Anti-extension: Again, use rings Anti-rotation: Mount at chest-level, attach band Bulgarian squats: mount at base, use bars for foot mount ​ Has anyone purchased this item and had experience with it? submitted by /u/blitz304 [link] [comments]

Sit-ups in a reclined butterfly position Posted: 03 Jun 2020 11:15 PM PDT Hello everyone! Here's something I discovered, or I'd rather say I might've reinvented the wheel If this is already a thing. So to address the ubiquitous discussions about floor sit ups being kind of detrimental to the spinal erectors, but many people have still built titanium abs using only sit ups and blah blah... Try sit ups off a reclined butterfly position!! Here's what it looks like, for anyone who hasn't heard of it. Basically just open up your knees and let them fall apart from the regular sit up position. Now what I observed (You I suggest you try too, and share your observations and opinions). It's way too difficult to get all the way up (almost impossible because of the mechanics and position of the body..?). I can't get my spinal erectors to engage and get my upper body up. The small and maximum ROM you'd achieve will activate all abs. It kind of serves to the spinal erector issue in the conventional sit-ups I feel more sore in the abs with this. So 10 sit-ups with reclined butterfly legit feels harder on the abs than 10 conventional sit-ups. I agree there are way better abs exercises than this too. But I just wanna share what I just came up with/realized. This could very well be in your abs arsenal, further try twisting sit-ups (rise to each side) with reclined butterfly stance. This one really feels nice. What are your observations and opinions on the same? submitted by /u/elslyknight [link] [comments]

Coast Guard Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:35 AM PDT Hey, so if anyone can offer any help it would be much appreciated. I'm considering enlisting in the Coast Guard but to do so I need to pass a fitness test. The tests consists of the following: 29 push-ups in 60 seconds 38 sit-ups in 60 seconds Run 1.5 miles in under 12:51 Sit and Reach 16.50" Complete a swim circuit Tread water for 5 minutes Jump off a 6-foot platform and swim 100 meters My work has been physically demanding in a way that I can lift a great sum of weight but my reps are terrible. I can get to 20 pushups and 21 sit-ups right now and obviously that's not going to cut it. I also don't have any way to improve my swimming given the current pandemic and the regular lack of a pool. If anyone can recommend exercise routines to help me get in shape so I can enlist, I would be endlessly thankful. submitted by /u/BbqGay [link] [comments]

Knees hurt after doing nordic curls Posted: 03 Jun 2020 12:30 PM PDT Heya, I just started doing the RR and for the hamstrings im doing nordic curls (i go about quarter of the way down), and after a few reps my knees start to hurt on the left and the right side of my kneecaps (not on the kneecaps). The pain lasts for about half an hour to an hour after I finish my workout. Is this normal for a beginner or am I doing something wrong and potentially risking an injury? submitted by /u/GotYaNoob [link] [comments]

Elbow conditioning for Advanced L-sit/V-sit Posted: 03 Jun 2020 02:34 PM PDT I've been training advanced l-sit/v-sit for 4-5 weeks now and I'm making some considerable progress (10 sec 40 degree v-sit). However, my left distal tricep tendon was left tender and strained after my last session. How can I condition it to withstand the higher loads? Or should I deload? I deloaded two weeks ago due to a shoulder issue, so I would prefer not to do so. P.D. I train these movements twice a week, typically 6 sets of 20 second holds on floor. I have no parallettes but I do have rings. submitted by /u/voscarapalida [link] [comments]
