| thinking of getting a pull up bar Posted: 20 Jun 2020 08:42 PM PDT i really enjoy the work done on multiple muscles per rep, i dont know but it gives me more satisfaction of getting gains from pulling my own bodyweight up and down than curls. should i get one and switch from dumbbells?

| 1 handed handstand - best workout? Posted: 21 Jun 2020 10:16 AM PDT Hey guys! I am trying to learn 1-handed handstand for around 4 months now and I DO NOT see any progression at all 😂 does anyone have any experience/training method he or she went after? My handstand is super stable, can even do around 20 handstand push ups, but cant hold myself on 1 arm for even 3 seconds. Maybe any experiences with the 5-4-3-2-1 finger method? Help or even better a whole workout routine would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2020 10:33 AM PDT I'm working with a 1" nominal steel pullup bar. I've been building callouses, particularly on my left hand, which are a bit of annoyance. I also notice discomfort when simply hanging. What can I do about this? Ideally I think a larger bar might help, but what about tape/padding, etc? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| clap pushups to close to ground to do backclap pushups. Posted: 21 Jun 2020 07:13 AM PDT I can do a hundred explosive and clap pushups easily, although i'm now wanting to do backclap pushups, although i want to move my body higher off the ground to do that. My hands on clap pushups about reach my chest but i want to really push far off the ground, far enough to backclap and then land. Is there a middle exercise between clap pushups and back claps, that will help me train pushing off ground strength? [link] [comments] |
| First time working out in a long time, how to loosen my hip flexors? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 08:19 PM PDT 37 year old guy here. I played baseball in high school but 20 years of sedentary living have done a number on me. I can walk for miles but I can't jog or run at all. My hip areas feel so tight I can't even cross my leg when I sit. My right hip pops too. A couple years ago was the last time I tried to run, during a work softball game. My hips hurt like crazy for days. Granted I've also been overweight for 20 years so I'm trying to work on that too. [link] [comments] |
| Advice On A Program For A Beginner Posted: 21 Jun 2020 12:30 PM PDT Hey guys! I'm basically a complete beginner. I haven't worked out consistently in a couple years but I really want to lose weight. My stats are: Weight: 120kg/264lbs Height: 185cm/6ft Gender: Male Age: 21 My main goal is weight loss but I also want to build some muscle. The reason I'm posting is because I have a question about a program I want to do. Here's the link to part 1 and part 2, but I just wanted to know if this is a good program for me to do as a beginner. It's a 60 day program without rest days but if I do it 5 days a weeks, then its a 90 day program. It's story based which I really like and it is something that will keep me going. I was thinking of maybe adding pull-ups/chin-ups in month 2 and 3 to build some more muscle. [link] [comments] |
| 10 Push ups per death while gaming? Posted: 21 Jun 2020 12:21 PM PDT I have been thinking of doing light exercises for a while now. I tried to do exercises everyday before but i can never consistently do it because i either get bored or give up because i feel like im not getting gains. I know its really stupid and its just me lying to myself. So i was thinking of a way to exercise consistently. How effective would it be to do 10 pushups for every death while im gaming. Im really inexperienced about this stuff so i wanted an advice from people who know their stuff. Do you think this will work and is there any better way to do this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2020 12:13 PM PDT Hello all, just started trying out the "move" routine and when I got to the deep squat I found my shins were killing me almost immediately. Im pretty flexible, and can get deep into the squat but my shins hurt tremendously. After a little research Ive found its probably because of I have low ankle mobility - Ive had flat feet since I can remember. I never thought it was much of a problem with working out/exercising, but it got me thinking of a lot of issues Ive had with squats (my knees always bend in if my feet are straight, or straight if my feet are pointed outwards) and running (my calves are humongous, but short, and seem to be the main driver/the only thing that gets sore after a run). What sorts of things can I do to rectify that? Stretching? doing easy squats while focusing on my knees being straight along my feet? Is there any was to correct almost 30 years of overpronation?

| Posted: 21 Jun 2020 12:05 PM PDT Hi, so I'm a beginner to working out and I've been doing the recommended routine for about 2 weeks now and it's fantastic. I do it every other day. But last time, I added in 3 sets of using my dad's bicep curl machine and now my left bicep/forearm is still very sore (not my right thought, although maybe this is because I am right handed and do everything with that arm anyways). My question is, I'm scheduled to work out again tonight, but should I not do the bicep curls and instead only do those every 4 days instead of every 2 days if I am still very sore?

| pull up equilevant to push up? Posted: 21 Jun 2020 11:57 AM PDT wanted to ask if there is a close ratio how much should you do each, exercise i do are mainly pushups and pull ups can do about 30 push ups per set and 5 full pull ups. [link] [comments] |

| Suggestions for fitness books to read Posted: 21 Jun 2020 11:51 AM PDT I don't know if this is within the scope of this sub. If it isn't, please let me know. I have been searching for books to read on nutrition and to get info on things to know before I start recomposition especially for female since there is lot of myths and wrong info relating to women trying to gain muscle and reducing body fat. Got time to read now so really appreciate if some of you could suggest some books to read and gain more knowledge about fitness. Thank you. I am currently reading good calories, bad calories by Gary taubes. [link] [comments] |
| Frog stand/crow pose and handstands Posted: 21 Jun 2020 11:38 AM PDT Is it reasonable to work on balance with the frog stand and then work on incorporating it into my handstand practice? I have no problems home a chest to wall and back to wall handstand for a minute but my balance is garbage. Frog stands seem a little lower risk at first for balance because my face is closer to the floor and I use a pillow for face plants. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2020 11:37 AM PDT Hey guys, quick question. Heard from a lot that rings are better than a bar. Why is this so? Is this just for pullups? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Should you tilt your head forward during a passive hang? Posted: 21 Jun 2020 11:33 AM PDT I've been doing passive hangs for a while to decompress my spine and stretch during and after workouts. I go deeper into the stretch as I breathe out, and it feels better when I let my chin bend forward and down towards my chest. I've seen examples of both this and people that keep their head straight and aligned with their spine. Is one better or worse? Will I damage the neck or mess up my posture if I keep doing them like these? It feels like the straight version is worse for my neck during a passive hang. I keep it straight during active hangs, pull-ups, etc. Here's more or less how I do it (with my head bent down): http://cassfitness.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/MATThangingfrompullupbar.jpg and here's one with the head straight: https://content.artofmanliness.com/uploads/2020/05/passive.jpg [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a good hypertrophy calisthenics programme. Posted: 21 Jun 2020 11:31 AM PDT The title tells everything. My level is early intermediate I would say. Currently trying to build some muscle. Anything you like or you've tried will be appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Need help perfecting workout routine Posted: 21 Jun 2020 09:40 AM PDT I'm getting back into the calisthenics lifestyle, and my current routine is this: Day 1: some front lever training, then pushups, handstand training, etc Day 2: some front lever training, then a lower body workout Day 3: full bar training (such as deadhangs, one arm pullup training, weighted pullups) Then a rest day, then repeat, so 6 days a week. My main goals are front lever, one arm pullup, handstand, and just increase my overall pullup count. I used to be able to hold straddle FL for a few seconds and do a OAP with my right hand. I'm just wondering if it's efficient to work on all of these at once, or if I should do a few weeks of FL training, then a few weeks of OAP training, etc. [link] [comments] |
| How to strengthen joints/tendons? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 04:41 PM PDT What are some exercises to strength the joints and tendons? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 03:24 PM PDT I've tried weighted (made progress with this but I eventually stopped 4 months., I've tried 4 times a week 4-5 sets of my 80 percent max in one set ( this got me to 6 max then plateau, i did this for like a year and just stopped because wasn't making progress.) Pull up gods , people who hit 20+ perfect pull ups in one set, arms fully locked out on the way down and chin above the bar with face looking straight ahead, no kipping, or any type of momentum, just straight up and down.Help me get there, what must i do? I'm wondering 1 set max daily would be the perfect balance of not too much, but just enough to progress to eventually hit 20. P [link] [comments] |
| [question] tall athlete and low bar: which starting position for PUs and MUs? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 04:43 PM PDT Basically the title. I cannot start from a dead hang with my legs extended and have to bend my legs in the starting postition of the PU in order to go through the full ROM because the highest bar is still relatively low for my height. I currently start from a half-lay hang and going up I extend my legs into a hollow body at the top. Going down I go into the half-lay hang again and repeat. Now I was wondering if I should keep on doing that or maybe rather bend in the hip and start from a half L-sit (legs extended and in front of the body and bent in the hip joint)? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 04:45 PM PDT As far as I know, there's no compound movement that targets the side delts. HSPU/Pike Pushups? That's mainly a front delt exercise that barely stimulates the side delts. I guess it works the side delts... if youe flare out your arms and that's a no from me. That one exercise in athlean-x's video? I can barely feel it. What makes it worse is how relatively developed my triceps/biceps are, making the side delts look laughably small by comparison. I might have to resort to lateral side raises which sucks because A) It includes free weight (I don't have a problem with freeweights but it sucks when you already have an entire routine based on calisthenics and you have to shoehorn this one. B) It's an isolation exercise, I'm already pushing it with my workout hours and now I need to make time for this one muscle... seriously is there no compound movement for this? [link] [comments] |
| Shoulder extension requirements for pelican curls and RTO dips? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 05:47 PM PDT I want to eventually incorporate these exercises when I progress but I'm not quite sure how mobile you have to be. Currently when I try pelican curls I can't bring my shoulders arms back far and end up tripping. [link] [comments] |
