    Any good guides on dynamics?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 10:15 AM PDT

    I have been training calisthenics since corona started(used to do powerlifting/bodybuilding) and I have been making some great progress with it. As far as dynamics go I am able to do a 180,pullover, bar jumps, skin the cat and I am working on getting the dynamic muscle up down.

    The main difficulty with dynamics is that it is hard to see where you should progress. Like should focus on getting the muscle ups before I start with shrimp flips? I was wondering if there is a recommended progression guide such as:

    180 first then pullover then muscle up then shrimp flip etc...

    Deeper wrist stretches/mobility routine?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 05:12 AM PDT

    I'm trying out the L-sits progression and am already doing the extended tucked form. Problem is, for a few days now I notice some sharp pain in my forearm (around the middle of it) when I take the pressure off. Never experienced this in the earlier progressions.

    I do the wrists mobility exercise every before workout. The other exercise that might be adding to the pressure are push ups, but I dont feel a similar pain when I do it.

    Are there any other stretches that I can do? Thanks in advance!

    Not Getting Sore After Workout

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 01:08 PM PDT

    Hello! I have a question regarding what I should do while working out.

    So I have started a new workout in the recent weeks and I am doing a 3 day rotation (pull, push, legs). Because of this, I am obviously trying to max out on the respective muscles on each respective days. So when I do my workouts, I do them until I am unable to complete my typical set for each respective workout.

    I figured that this would be a good enough amount of workout, but the day after my workouts, I am not getting sore like I figured that I would.

    Is this okay? Should I try to do more sets even if I can't get to my max?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    People who can do pull-ups chest to bar, how did you achieve this?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 01:19 AM PDT

    Yesterday I did a max rep test for my pull-ups and I got 13. I'm pretty pleased with this, but I'm doing a pull-up program which should give me a max of 15-20 eventually. However, I have a really hard time actually getting my chest up to the bar. My first couple pull-ups are nice arched back pull-ups, but I can't really get high enough. After a few, my back arch starts to disappear and they become increasingly more straight body pull-ups.

    What is a good way to train this? Negatives? Also, I feel like if I focus too much on the back arch, then my work volume greatly suffers because of that, as I have to stop way earlier.

    I really want to master the pull-up this summer, so that I can confidently progress to a harder variation.

    Chest to wall handstand pushups

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 12:52 PM PDT

    I can do chest to wall handstand pushups but when im doing them, my feet often are a limiting factor because the shoes get stuck onto the wall. I tried it with socks but the socks still seem to have friction against the wall. Any advice?

    Mesocycle in Bodyweight

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 04:44 AM PDT

    Hello,

    I've checked in the search field for some Infos regarding how to structure your Training ala mesocycle with only bodyweight.

    Im currently reading steven lows book and im stuck with planing my workout because I don't use weights at all and in the book they are talking about to use for the hypertrophy week only 60 to 85% of your 1RM.

    But how can i transfer this knowledge on a weightless Calisthencs workout. The same counts for the strength week.

    Also i would like to ask if you actually work with this concept at all, because im missing the skill work for example in a normal mesocycle

    If yes, how did you adapted it to a Calisthencs Version or how would you do it?

    Thanks in advance for your opinions.

    Are you supposed to kip on explosive pull-ups?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 01:01 PM PDT

    I see videos of calisthenics athletes doing explosive pull-ups and some of them look like they are kipping a little bit. When doing explosive pull-ups do you kip a little or is it all just pulling explosive strength?

    Critique my simple workout plan so hard I cry. I am a beginner.

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 11:51 AM PDT

    Goal: Currently I am trying to get the pull up(and build up to 3x8) while getting to 3x8 push ups(then working to 3x8 diamond push ups) and intermediate shrimp squats(I want to get to 3x8 advanced shrimp squats). I am also working on getting abs(I just wanna look sexy if ima be honest here).

    Plan: I work out 3 days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do pairs together and

    Workout: - First Pair: 3 sets of 5 second chin up negatives and 3 sets of intermediate shrimp squats - Second Pair: 3 sets of horizontal rows and 3 sets of push ups - Third Pair: 3 sets of 15 pound(they're the heaviest I have and I don't wanna buy any heavier :/) dumbbell rows and a one minute plank(I'll slowly make this harder throughout the day).

    I designed it to get me my first 3 sets of 8 pull ups(I wanna do chin ups for a bit to work out the bicep and since it's easier) while also improving push ups, squats, and having sexy abs. ;D

    Types of pushups

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 09:06 PM PDT

    Been doing pushups consistently for a while now more for endurance and so I peak at 40 cadence pushups and I've been doing star/diamond and bicep pushups to mix it up.

    Any other not to crazy pushups I should try doing?

    Legal steroids for muscle mass gains?

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 11:48 AM PDT

    I might not be on the right sub, but please feel free to let me know if I shouldn't post this. I am a small-stature guy who constantly gets disrespected by peers. I'd like to gain more mass over this summer so that I can get the respect I deserve when I go back to school in August. I'm thinking of taking legal steroids, so I'd appreciate it if you could tell me what my options are as I have no clue of how to start.

    Trap-3 raise technique question

    Posted: 24 Jun 2020 01:42 AM PDT

    I know I'm supposed to retract and depress my shoulder blades at the bottom of this exercise.

    Am I supposed to forcibly hold the scapulae in that position throughout the whole movement? Or am I allowed to relax them a bit at the top? Because these two options drastically change the feel and range of motion for this movement. I do have a tight chest and front of the shoulders, limited mobility.

    Front lever progression

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 10:48 PM PDT

    Hey all, I have been training to get the front lever for about 3 months now, mostly with pull ups and front lever progression holds. At the beginning I couldn't hold the tucked front lever for 3 seconds and now I'm at the point that I can hold tucked for about 20 seconds and advanced tucked for about 5. Since a month I have also been steadily working with a weight vest, going from +/- 9 kg for 3 pull ups to +/- 15 kg for 3 pull ups. I have also been experiencing with ladder rep routine with weighted pull ups. For reference I am 1.80m and weigh about 63kg. I have the feeling that for the training I put in I don't progress that quickly. How long did it take you guys to get to the front lever and how did you train for it? Do you think my progression is decent or am I lacking a bit? Any further suggestions/advice regarding the front lever? Thanks!

    l-sit/V-sit/Manna & the lower back

    Posted: 23 Jun 2020 01:34 PM PDT

    Hello Sportsfreunde,

    My question is if the V-sit training usually contains enough stimulus to train my lower back as well in balance wit my abs to avoif dybalance.

    For example does the V-sit itself train the lower back enough to skip isolation exercises?

    Im currently starting again to work on my V-sit the goal is to master the Manna of course. Should i add lower back exercises or not?

    The only time i train my lower back as well is by doing DL.

    Would love to hear your experience, thanks!
