| How to improve cardiovascular endurance? How long It take to be improved Posted: 07 Jun 2020 06:06 AM PDT As an athlete, Cardiovascular endurance is needed especially in such intense sports like basketball. I usually run out of breath in some pickup games, like running for 5 minutes makes it hard for me. I could only play in small amount of time. I know cardio is not a good option for weight loss, but its good for training my Heart to pump. I know that there different exercises for cardio. Which cardio exercise is the best for training? How long will it take for me to see the improvements? [link] [comments] |
| Thank you all,and a question about push-ups Posted: 07 Jun 2020 02:58 AM PDT Greetings ! Year long lurker here..i wanted to make a thank you post to all members of this community,for helping to change my life for the better,and a question about the next progression levelnfor push-ups after pseudo-planche push ups currently i am 27,i was pretty active in my teens,running,weight lifting on and off,push ups and pull ups every morning,but ever since 2013 i have had been spiralling down with heavy drinking,cigarettes and years of crippling depression,ended up gaining 13 kgs( 28.6 lbs) losing nearly all progress i had made during my early to mid teens and mentally a wreck. last spring i decided to get my shit together,decided to quit smoking, tried to do pull ups at a friends doorframe pullup bar,and could not make it even to 2 pull ups,tried my hand at running again around the same time and couldnt even finish 100 meters without gasping for breath. since august i have been following the recommended routine and for the first time since 12 years i have succesfully quit smoking,lost 15 lbs and regained my mental health.thank you all for this thriving knowledge treasure of a community. as for my question,it seems that push up progression is over for me,i am on 8 perfect reps in pseudo planche push ups at maximum forward lean.and i am doing the headstand push up progression as part of dips routine,what would you suggest me as a new exercise that targets the muscles used in push-ups? thanks for your time and effort !

| What does band work, calisthenics, and band workout's do that the weight lifting doesn't? Posted: 07 Jun 2020 11:51 AM PDT I have been training this way for the last 4 weeks and I have noticed I am cutting in a way I haven't seen before. I am also noticing healthier joints and more pronounced contractions. Movements seem more natural but there is a difference from lifting static weight. I am almost certain that this style of training will have its limits and you can only build soo much muscle before you have to return to the gym for the added weight. I have always been strong and muscular courtesy of the gym and heavy lifting, but these part 4 weeks have made me ponder what I am getting out of the gym that I can't get from band work and calisthenics? Keeping in mind my goal is muscular size, development, and overall health (joints, ligaments, and tendons). Is anyone in the same boat and can you offer an explanation about the contrast in training? Not to sound naive, but is it possible to achieve and maintain 20" arms and 30" thighs working out like this without traditional curls, squats, deadlifts etc. [link] [comments] |
| L Chinups with back 45 deg angle to ground good for mid and low trap activation? Posted: 07 Jun 2020 11:12 AM PDT I am curious how much activation there is int he low and mid traps compared to a row on something like a L Sit Chinup where you are in a V with your back a 45 degree angle to the floor (as opposed to a straight vertical pull). Does anyone have any information on this? [link] [comments] |

| How do I deactivate hip flexors while doing ab exercises? Posted: 07 Jun 2020 09:31 AM PDT This is an issue that's been plaguing me for a while and is super annoying. When I do ab workouts that involve my legs in the air (Russian twist, scissor kicks, leg raises to name a few) I feel that my abs aren't doing work and my legs being to fatigue instead of my abs I've heard of things like deactivating the hip flexors by activating the glutes or pulling on an object with your legs, but that's not really applicable when my legs are in the air. I get back pain when I do leg raises even though I'm focusing on contracting with my abs Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Jun 2020 02:29 AM PDT Last 4-6 months I've been in the gym everyday. Luckily I have my own little "set up" so I could still workout through lock down. I don't have machines and stuff but I have enough and to be honest over the last year I've only been to the gym a handful of times. I've built the body I want just from working out at home but now I'm to afraid to take a day off. Every time I step foot in my back room I get this feeling that I have to kill myself before I leave other wise I didn't work hard enough. It wasn't always like this but started when I was beginning to see results. Right now I'm happy with where I'm at and want to maintain and put on maybe a little bit of size. I lift everyday Monday shoulders chest Tuesday legs arms Wednesday back shoulders Thursday legs Friday arms chest Saturday I do 6 compounds and Sunday is the same plus I try to run at least 5 times a week. I feel it mentally more than physically it's just becoming harder and harder to push through and will power is running low which is causing me to do stuff I wouldn't have done a few months back like eat junk food and maybe smoke some weed here and there. I'm not a professional body builder and I'm not inspiring to me but I also want to have an insane body and rest days just seem useless to me but I know that's not true. Mindset is everything and right now all my mind is telling me is to rest but I just can't [link] [comments] |
| My hands got numb with false grips Posted: 07 Jun 2020 08:16 AM PDT Good morning. My hands got numb when I did false grips transition from dips in my last workout. it's better now, but I still feel my fingers tingling. Has this happened to anynone? Is it normal? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Jun 2020 02:06 AM PDT I've seen many people/posts recommending bent arm dynamic exercises such as PPPU or planche push ups as a secondary/supplemental exercise and the specific straight arm static exercise such as the planche (like tuck, straddle, etc) itself as the primary exercise to gain the strength at that specific range. One of the posts I read related to this point is this by Steven. Since planche is a straight arm exercise, I am wondering, "wouldn't it be better to do a straight arm dynamic exercise rather than bent arm dynamic exercise?" For example, for planche, you could do a straight arm dynamic exercise where you start at the top of the PPPU position (tuck, straddle, etc) but rather than doing the push up, you lift your body as if you are doing a planche, and keep lifting more rather than stopping at the planche position so the planche position is the "mid" range of this exercise, and come back down and repeat. Yes, a person can do both the bent arm dynamic exercise and straight arm dynamic exercise but what I am wondering is if one is a better training method or if they are equally great. I feel like straight arm dynamic exercises are more "specific" to straight arm static exercises than bent arm dynamic exercises. (yes, you can hold the top position of PPPU but that "hold" is isometric and not dynamic). Straight Arm Static (The skill we are trying to achieve such as front lever and planche) Straight Arm Dynamic (Only 'static' became 'dynamic') Bent Arm Dynamic (Here, both the 'straight arm' and 'static' became 'bent arm' and 'dynamic', respectively. Doesn't this mean, this has less specificity than above?) Similar point for front levers, how would it compare between front lever raise where you start from dead hang and end at invert hang so your front lever is at the mid range VS front lever rows.

| Telescopic pull up bar safe between walls? Posted: 06 Jun 2020 10:50 PM PDT Hi So I bought this telescopic bar after buying a normal door frame one only to realize that it didn't fit on my doors because they are do "long" (and then my wife even lost the box so couldn't return it or sell it 😑) Then I got a telescopic one. It seemed all fine for a one week. It was stable so I left it there on the door since it didn't stop it for closing. It did make some noise on the door when I would try to "turn" it to make it more secure. But I though it was because the door frame would be a be "empty". But after that one week, we heard a cracking noise and the frame was a bit cracked. (I have a pic but can't put it here 😔) But then I saw that after the door I can actually put it but between the wall because the entry to that room have the same wide as the door for like 40 cm. Would it be safe or would it eventually damage the wall and fall? I uploaded the pics. This the damaged door frame https://ibb.co/q00WHpk This is how it looks if I put it on the wall https://ibb.co/2tHmt0g [link] [comments] |

| Bulgarian Split Squats and Toe Pain Posted: 06 Jun 2020 08:40 AM PDT Hello all - have an oddly specific question. I have the beginnings of arthritis in both of my big toes (very mild and early hallux rigidus) that doesn't usually cause me issues. I've been wearing some custom orthotics for a couple of years now that have halted the progression and any pain from normal walking and activities. The exceptions are when I need to bend either of the toes significantly while putting a lot of weight and pressure on them. I can do so but that frequently leave me liable to some achiness the next day, and I'm sure it's not particularly beneficial to do so given the circumstances. What causes me the most issues is bulgarian split squats - which is unfortunately also the compound "strength" bodyweight legs exercise that my legs respond the best to out of all the alternatives. To some extent, I also get this from regular lunges too, as it's a similar dynamic on my back leg with bending the big toe, but less pressure hence fewer issues. Does anyone have any ideas for modifying the bulgarian split squat (or potentially regular lunges) to take pressure off that back big toe when at the bottom of the movement? I've tried taking my back foot out of the equation entirely and putting all the pressure on my lower shins instead, but that was too much pressure on a sensitive area in it's own right and left me with a mildly bruised shin. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly advanced enough to consider movements like pistol squats yet. [link] [comments] |
