| As an ex-powerlifter I can honestly say yall nothing to mess with, finally can do pistol squats Posted: 13 Jun 2020 07:08 AM PDT As an expowerlifter (stopped to pursue boxing) I never saw the point of calesthenics until ofcourse all the gyms closed on us (thx covid). Naturally like the rest of the fitness community i was drawn to this subreddit and lemme tell you guys, this shit is challenging as hell. I could squat over 400lbs but couldn't do a shrimp squat, makes ya feel pretty stupid not gonna lie lol. Anyways thanks for all of your guy's super useful advice and guides its GREAT here ! Here's the squat : https://streamable.com/gpfc7t Also stats for those who want to know: Body weight: 208-210lbs Bodyfat: round 24-28 I think (chubby fella) Height: 5'9 for the girls but really 5'8 [link] [comments] |
| Fitness Faqs Home hero e-book. Posted: 13 Jun 2020 03:59 AM PDT Many people are saying that they are having problems with the download. Since it's free, I downloaded it and uploaded it to Google Drive for easy access. But whoever gets it from here or anywhere, should also register to his newsletter as this is what he expects. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PrNLEbzU-THfOTMgmLCQIQwI1oiRVExm/view?usp=drivesdk [link] [comments] |
| 30 day pull up transformation - zero to six Posted: 13 Jun 2020 09:55 AM PDT I've been working out for over 8 months and have never been able to do pullups. Can bench 70kg, squuat 110kg, DL 125kg and up until march could pullup about 60% of my BW. So I spent the first 8 weeks of lockdown waiting for a pullup bar, resistance bands, and got to work on doing negatives and assisted pullups. I was so close to doing my first pullup one month and and so I thought I'd track my progress, and so here we are now able to manage sets of 6! Progress - https://gfycat.com/nearpolishedlangur I achieved this by following the pull up progression on RR. 3 times a week, I would do 3/4 working sets ( let it be 5-8 assisted pullups or negatives ) aswell as maybe 1 or 2 every time i passed the bar. I worked on my grip strength aswel and can now deadhang for over 90 seconds! Super pleased, im amazed at how much upper back development I had in just 2 months from becoming able to do non assisted pullups. Edit : the last set of 6 was actually the second set of a 2x6, the first set my phone died mid set and so I had to re-record it. The first set was so much cleaner, kinda sad it died but it's fine as I know come 1-2 weeks time i'll be doing 8 reps! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:50 AM PDT I've been training to get to 100 push-ups in a row but lately have seen my progress stagnate, so as the title says, how do you deal with plateaus? [link] [comments] |
| Can you recommend a set of resistance bands? Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:04 AM PDT Hi All, Like many I've moved to working out at home and have been following the RR and adding a few additional movements. One thing I miss is curls, and while there are substitutes in BW, I would at least like to continue that motion. I have been using a couple of older therabands which was fine but snapped one today. That made me realize I should probably get something better. So, can you recommend a set of hands? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:48 AM PDT Is a small packet canned tuna and salad healthy and enough after a workout? I do half an hour exercise and half an hour stretching. I wonder if it is enough to build muscle. [link] [comments] |
| Yoga Vs Calisthenics for strength and hypertrophy Posted: 12 Jun 2020 08:36 PM PDT So I've been looking into some Alomoves programs from yogis like Dylan Werner and Patrick Beach. It appears that their programs (which people often refer to as either power yoga/hatha /ashtanga/vinyasa etc) consist of hard poses and moves that are essentially calisthenics or gymnastics eg Handstand, Crow, Plank, etc. Dylan and Patrick look like the type of dudes who lift (bodyweight or otherwise) and obviously they possess strength, power, and mobility to be able to do handstands, HSPU, crow to hspu etc. I wonder if those guys only do "power yoga" or they do some type of other physical conditioning like lifting weights etc? Is it possible to achieve that look with just doing their type of yoga, which already incorporates strength-based calisthenic or gymnastic moves into the routine? [link] [comments] |
| Unable to get neutral scapula in ring support hold... Posted: 13 Jun 2020 07:03 AM PDT I've "recently" noticed that I tend to protract my scapula whilst on the rings. As this doesn't make for the most aesthetically pleasing position to be in, it will also hinder my ability to progress on future strength elements and transitional movements on the rings. My strength is that of a trained beginner, I am unable to do any intermediate strength movements to their fullest strength potential, I.e HSPU, Planche Push ups, OAC,etc, but I like to think that my strength is decent. I can muscle up, been doing weighted dips and pull ups for a while now with about 20–30lbs extra weight until Mindful Mover influenced me not to, or rather has given a different perspective on how to look at upper body strength. Also, I've been incorporating v-sit holds on the ground and it has helped my ability to maintain proper scapula positioning on rings, but I feel as though that it is not simply enough, as v-sits feel much easier than the ring support and I honestly doubt that should be the case. I just want to hear your thoughts and opinions. if you dealt or are dealing with this same problem it would be of great use to have different perspectives on the issue. Also, I have noticed that this issue is commonly overlooked within the calisthenics and general body weight fitness community, any thoughts ? [link] [comments] |
