| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 07:34 AM PDT I've made a simple HIIT timer. The unique thing about it is you can share workouts with a URL it creates: It's free, and works as a website as well as having Android and iOS apps. Would you guys use this? Any features I should add? Thanks to u/iwillbemyownlight for letting me post this 👊. [link] [comments] |
| What core exercises are used to strengthen athletes in gymnastics? Posted: 05 Jun 2020 09:16 PM PDT I am wondering what core exercises do they use in gymnastics? For example I know front levers are a big part for core strength but what additional exercises are used? [link] [comments] |
| High rep pullups or heavier variations for bicep growth? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 05:46 AM PDT I've always had little cigarette arms, and even though my main focus is strength and performance I want to bulk up a little bit. So I'm wondering what the most effective strategy is. I'm doing RR now and working on L sit ring pull ups. I can do 6 of those, or 11 regular pullups. Would it be better to work on getting more reps, or continue with the heavier variations? Alternatively, should I add in ring bicep curls at the end of the workout? [link] [comments] |
| Opinions on isolation exercises Posted: 06 Jun 2020 07:51 AM PDT Right now my goals are to just be stronger in all my movements, but to be honest I'm quite vain so I do isolation movements for my arms. There are a lot of differing opinions on doing isolations and whether they are necessary at all for overall larger growth on the smaller muscles (tricep, bicep, whatever). For me I do them because I like the pump, but honestly I don't really know if the growth in my arms is actually from isolation movements or if I'm just tricked into believing so. What are your thoughts on isolation movements? Do you do them? and if you don't, why not? [link] [comments] |
| Pushup form: what’s good enough? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 10:14 AM PDT I've seen a lot of different push-up forms online. The perfect form seems to have the arm bent at like a 90 degree angle from a side view. I cannot do this kind of perfect push-up. How far from a perfect push-up is still acceptable in terms of form? I know that there are ways to build up to perfect regular pushups. But my question is more about how good your form has to be in order to work [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:45 AM PDT Recently I've decided to bulk up and fix my diet, however I am having trouble finding out if I consume the necessary calories. Honestly, I find it really difficult to tell what meals I should eat or if I am eating more than I am supposed to. I've googled a lot of stuff about bulking however I can't find out my calories since I am getting more confused as I google calories of certain foods. For example my meal plan today was this: 3 eggs a handful of mushrooms and cheese One mass gainer shake(I made it myself it contained: 3 bananas,oats,dark chocolate,milk,protein powder,creatine,chocolate syrup) 2 chicken tortillas(chicken,cheese,lettuce) 2 steaks and 1 pot of rice greek yogurt with honey and a mix of nuts(almonds,peanuts etc.) tuna I feel that this is too much however when I search for certain foods google proves me wrong I am aiming for 3000 daily calorie intake. Are kcals translated to calories? can someone tell me how much calories each of the food I ate contained? I can eat much/less food that's not an issue for me it's just I don't know if I should.

| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:13 AM PDT I recently managed to resolve my sciatica through posture and functional fitness and have been pain-free for months now. I have been training and have relatively strong core strength. I'm able to do skin the cat without much issue. However, I am unable straighten my legs (i.e do an L-sit when sitting) easily due to tight hamstring/nerves. Does anyone have any advice to share on how should I train to do skills like back lever and handstands? Should I avoid exercises likes pike hold? I'm feeling quite restricted when i'm progressing for handstand and back lever. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:05 AM PDT I am 184cm tall and I weigh around 187pounds. I would like someone to recommend me some kind of workout routine that I can follow daily. No gym or equipment besides from an pull-up bar. I am not able to do pull-ups and only 3 push-ups at the most and I want to get rid of the man boobs the most!!. So pls if anyone who can be kind enough to recommend me any kind of workout regime for my day to day life. Thank You! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 12:32 AM PDT Stuck on 15 sec straddle front lever How to progress to achieve at least 10 sec clean front lever My workouts I do straddle fl hold with 5 kg weight Adv tuck press Fl raises with resistance bands [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:23 AM PDT I made a bunch of different AIs, but today I improved my strategy and built AIs that have context from your existing conversation and tries to communicate conversationally rather than as a question-asnwering type chat. The best news? I built this particular one on The Ricky Gervais Show featuring Steve Merchant and Karl Pilkington - all the transcripts I could find ;) http://jare.cloud/the-ricky-gervais-show-featuring-steve-merchant-and-karl-pilkington-chat-bot/ I built this one to flirt with you regardless of the time of day, or such stresses common folk have like headaches or being toooo tired... http://jare.cloud/sexy-flirt-bot/ I built this one to reference only banned books by the likes of Chomsky or dozens of banned books on the occult or current situations.... http://jare.cloud/banned-books-bot/ (note that the last 2 are being re-trained from acting as question-answering bots to being more conversational bots that have context from the last messages as we speak :) be about 5 more hours before they're live-worthy....) This one simply draws it's wealth of knowledge from a subsection of reddit posts, and is probably the most likely to beat the Turing test of all of them: http://jare.cloud/regular-ol-chat-bot/ Ignore the ads, or enjoy them if you want - PS what are you doing on the internet still viewing ads?

| Dumbbell/barbell floor press as a planche training supplement Posted: 05 Jun 2020 07:28 PM PDT I suppose most people interested in planches and other shoulder-oriented moves are familiar with the Zanetti press, Maltese dumbbell press, etc. as supplements. Well, I have found that the simple dumbbell and barbell floor press (with the arms held close to the body) is an excellent exercise for the shoulder strength involved. And it seems to have some advantages over the various straight arm shoulder exercises:
Whereas the regular bench press uses the pecs predominantly, the floor press really hits the shoulders and the triceps, which is often what is most needed in callisthenic moves. I'd be keen to know if anyone else has used this for planche training. [link] [comments] |
| Core exercises that don’t target hip flexors? Posted: 05 Jun 2020 10:39 PM PDT When you have anterior pelvic tilt one of the things you want is to strengthen your abs and stretch your hip flexors. But most core exercises (at least for abs) target my hip flexors too. Can you recommend some good beginner core and ab exercises that isolate that area and don't also target hip flexors?

| How do you deal with being called out as weak in calisthenics? Posted: 05 Jun 2020 12:55 PM PDT So basically having a~140lbs 5'3" guy with ectomorph build giving you the attitude that bigger guys should be better at calisthenics because they have more muscle but the reason they can't full planche like he can is because they're not training as hard or as committed as he is. And by that bigger guys, I'm talking me who is not even that tall (5'10") and 180lbs. I just feel demoralized with the amount of effort I put in for years compared to those guys getting full planche after their long 4 months journey while I've been training for 2 years just to hold a straddle planche. No hate on anyone, I'm just demoralized and was wondering if anyone has a mindset to help with this? I know don't compare yourself to others, but its just hard to shake it off when ur constantly exposed to these people, either on social media or in the park. [link] [comments] |
