| 13 to 14 transformation | How bodyweight fitness changed my life Posted: 15 Jun 2020 08:13 AM PDT NOTE : This is my post about my roughly 1 year transformation. I guess it has it's ups and downs. I say it's one year but it's more like 11 months and a half. I hope it can inspire some people and show them that just about anyone can do it. So, enjoy ! P.S. Also please be indulgent with my numbers... I didn't track my progress so my memory might be wrong on some bits BEFORE THE BEGINNING : I was always your skinny, stereotypical kid. Back in primary school ( 1-6th grade in Canada ), I was always bullied, didn't have many friends and life was really tough you know. I think most of this was associated to the fact that I was super super underweight and because of that I didn't seem like much of a threat and the ideal victim to the others. I was never really active, except for the fact that I practiced karate, which even though it was the only sport i really did it didn't really have that much of an effect on my body. I remember that my parents always called me a petit poulet ( Small chicken in French ) and I just accepted my body as it was, never really wanting a change. THE BEGINNING : Push-Ups - 0 Pull-Ups - 0 Dips - 0 Core - Weak Legs - Legs whaaaaat ? Weight - 85/90 I remember that in Christmas my uncle took me to the climbing gym, and it just, amazed me. I loved it and I wanted to try more. After digging into more climbing stuff, I fell on a Magnus Midtbo's video, where he did a one arm muscle up. I remember thinking, " Holy shit this is so cool". I thought to myself that I wanted to one day be able to do the same thing, but never committed to it. Speeding up to june, I went to a camp in New Hampshire and every night the guys in my cabine would do pushups and squats, except for me. During that same summer my karate instructor told me that I should start training for my black belt exam, and there, was the déclic. I was really fu**ing skinny. Like, I weighted probably around 85-90 lbs and You could literally see my ribs, instead of my pecs. But still, I commited to it, I wanted the black belt so bad since I had been doing karate basically my entire life. I started slow, and would only do pushups. I think that for the first 4 months I would just randomly do exercises every day and eventually I got to a point when my routine would look like : Pushups to failure Leg raises ( on the floor ) to failure repeat three times I know, it was really shitty. WHEN SH** GOT SERIOUS But one day, I wanted it, the pull up, so, before you know it, I started doing negatives and started doing bench dips. One month later, I did it. I had done it, my first pull up. I remember just pulling myself off the ground and I was in total awe. I screamed so hard the neighbours heard. I had just tasted the results of my labour for the very first time. For the next month I kept adding more exercises, getting stronger, and eventually I got to this point Push-Ups - 15 Pull-Ups - 6 ( But like every kid my age all half-rOM ) Dips - 5 ( Half-Rom) Core - I would manage some toes-to-bar Legs - Not yet Weight - 90/95 All that was cool, but I wanted more, so that's how I entered, the knowledge chapter KNOWLEDGE I remember stumbling across one of our lord and saviour, Danial Vadnal video, and I got really into it. I also think it's around that point in time that I discovered this sub. It's only when I started to read more about the science of bodyweight fitness that I realized how shit my training was, and how poor my training knowledge was. I was kinda frustrated because I threw out a lot of progress out of the window, but hey, better late than never. After discovering that, I started structuring my routines more, training smarter, including more rest, and as you would guess, the gainz went the same way QUARANTINE, WHEN SH** REALLY GOT SERIOUS Push-Ups - 25 Pull-Ups - 5-6 ( Clean form ( Got my form checked ) Dips - 6 ( 3/4 ROM ) Core - 30s L-Sit, infinite hanging leg raises Legs - Hang on it's coming Weight - 102/103 At the beginning of quarantine I got my rings, and I really started doing a better routine ( Still not best because I'M not a pro ). I made huge progress and it's at the same time that I started doing flexibility AND STRETCHING, OMG PLEASE STRETCH. I messed up my pec and my bicep tendon doing heavy movements without preparation. It's also at that moment that I started doing legs ( Yep, 8/9 months later ). NOW Push-Ups - 4x5 + 21lbs Pull-Ups - 11-12 Dips - 3x7 on the rings Core - Dragon flag Legs - 1x3/4 pistol assisted with the rings Weight - 115 Yep, that's where I am today. I am so happy about my physique and what I have accomplished. I use to have shit self confidence and now that's not an issue anymore. I'm not the one who struggles during physical activities anymore. I'm not the weak kid anymore. I'm me, the me I've worked so hard to be. To anyone out there finding excuses, don't, it's just silly. You have no idea this thing will change your life. If you train smart and hard, you will get the results. Genetics isn't an excuse, I started at nothing. For the people my age that might see this, puberty isn't and excuse, mine is late. For anyone who is currently on their journey, I wish you the best. I wish you luck, and I wish you will accomplish your goals. https://postimg.cc/hhCJB8zZ/fb5fe881 ( Not that impressive but I was strength training ) Please leave any critique or questions I will try to respond to all of them [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My 2 Month Pike Press to Handstand Journey Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:21 AM PDT So I've been learning handstands for a little over a year now. I got to the point where I could do 30-60 second holds basically every time, along with having a (reasonably) nice looking bodyline. I also managed a few basic bent arm presses like the frogstand to handstand and tuck to handstand. However, I could never get anywhere near any sort of straight arm press into the handstand. Even a straight arm tuck press was too much for my shoulders and I just didn't understand how to control the balance at all. But on the 12th of April, I decided that had to change and it was time to commit to getting some straight arm presses to handstand, with the pike press being the final goal. I made a little video of my progression here: My Pike Press Progression Video I'm really pleased with how it turned out but don't feel like you need to watch it if you don't want to :) Initially I just decided to mess around a bit and see what I could do. It turned out that that was not very much. I could do a messy looking jumping tuck to handstand and an even messier looking jumping straddle press but I was basically 100% reliant on the momentum, and even if I elevated my feet really high, I still had no idea how to statically lift them up. I thought maybe I had picked a slightly too ambitious goal here. But after the first couple of days I decided to pay a visit to the land of YouTube tutorials and see what Gabo Saturno and Tom Merrick had to say about it. It turned out I had been thinking about it completely wrong. While I thought it was a move of shoulder strength, it turns out it's actually much more down to hamstring mobility and core compression strength. The basic idea is that you make the move as efficient as possible by trying to stack your hips on top of your shoulders and compressing with your hip flexors to allow your feet to float up seemingly (although not really) effortlessly and naturally. From then I knew that I had to work on my Pike and pancake stretches. My initial pike wasn't terrible. I could get my fists to the floor, although with a reasonably arched back. My pancake however was really terrible. I struggled to even get my legs wide enough to try it properly while sat on the floor, never mind trying to lean forward in the position. I did low intensity stretching in my rests whenever I did a workout, along with pushing it a bit harder about 3 times a week at other points. I had never really done stretching before and I learned a lot about it, like not arching your back but trying to keep it straight to target the hamstrings more effectively. I found the pike stretching a lot easier to do, and as a result I focussed on it much more and made some very substantial pike stretch progress in a fairly short amount of time I could get my palms to the floor without too much arching after about 3 weeks.(3 weeks pike stretch progress ) The pancake on the other hand was a completely different story. My pancake now is only marginally less bad than the one I had 2 months ago (I'm gonna try to work on it more I promise). On the 2nd of May I managed my first static straight arm press (with bent legs). Although admittedly I think I managed to brute strength it a bit. The pike and straddle presses still seemed impossible. At around mid-May, I lost motivation for these presses and decided to work on the planche instead. I kept up with my stretching just in case though. I made some decent progress with the planche over the next month. I went from a decent tuck planche to a really bad form 1.5 second straddle planche. I worked a lot on my general shoulder strength with lots of pike push ups and tuck/straddle planche negatives. Over this time I still managed to improve my Pike flexibility and on the 9th of June I decided that even though I was nowhere near flexible enough for a straddle press, maybe it would be worth just trying the pike press and see what happened. I watched a YouTube video for motivation and they mentioned very consciously compressing with your hip flexors to take your feet off the ground. I tried it about 30 times that day, getting closer and closer each time but almost always being too far leaned forward and falling. After about 20 failures, I finally had some success and this happened. I had managed my first pike press to handstand! After that I managed it a few more times and got a few much cleaner presses like this one. This is definitely the handstand skill I'm most proud of. I was so happy that I managed it after the hard work I put in. Thanks for reading about my little journey, I wish you the best of luck on yours :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 Year Progress Post! (follow up) Posted: 14 Jun 2020 03:56 PM PDT M, 173Lbs (78kg) / 6ft (183cm), 24 It's officially 2 years since the start of my journey! Last year I posted this 1 year of progress that was really popular, and I said that I would do a follow-up, so here it is!!! (Questions like how I started, previous exercise experience are already answered there) **Quick note for this year, I spent 4-5 Months not training due to an injury/chronic pain (more info below on this) which definitely hindered my overall progress. It honestly made me not want to post this, because I had much higher expectations for where I'd be this year... Anyways on to the info!** Progress Pictures: Good Lighting + Posing // Collage// Front & Side// Back// Achievements:
Flexibility:Pike & Pancake / Middle Splits Training:Most of my training was started after getting a new job requiring 2-3 hours of commuting per day. This meant using half of my hour lunch and time between getting off work and my train arriving to have my workouts in a tiny office gym. So most workouts before Covid we're 2 separate 30 min workouts. I relied a lot on machines and dumbells to ease back into bodyweight movements after my injury.
December - Febuary Started a new job. 2 separate 30-minute sessions. Push/Pull/Legs split. 5-6 days/week but kept it low intensity. Averaged 2 - 15 min handstand sessions a week. About half of the exercises were dumbells/machines to help rehab. (Dumbell rows, overhead presses, basic machine work). Squated and deadlifted on the weekends when I had access to barbells. March - May Following a plan with very similar specs to this one from steven low. I just did a few less total sets for the week than he suggested. This is a screenshot of exactly what I was following. Completely focused on RPE during this plan. Leg training was randomly thrown into workouts (assisted pistol squats, glute-ham raise using my couch) My Injury:In mid-July 2019 I had a septoplasty surgery, to help with breathing and lack of smell. A month later, I had recovered and (thought) I was ready to start training again. I decided the best way to make up for lost time was to grease the groove with Single Leg Front lever holds (yes, I know, I'm not a smart man). On the second day of my plan, I felt a very sharp pinch in my lower traps on the right side. I continued to follow the plan... A few days later it was a dull pain, that was starting to spread to upper traps & neck. (Please note I also had TERRIBLE posture during this time while working, gaming, or drawing, which I'm sure made me more likely to get injured) I realized something was feeling really wrong. I thought that stretching/foam rolling/lacrosse ball massaging would fix my pain. I continued to do all these things, and the more I did it, the worse the pain got. By mid-September, I could barely turn my head to look behind me, and it came with loads of pain. I saw a chiropractor, got massages, I watched every video about back muscles, thoracic spine, shoulder joints, scapula stabilizers I could find and tried EVERYTHING I could with no avail. Finally, in early November I knew I needed a professional's help and went to see a physical therapist. 2 visits and 4 weeks of following a plan consisting of VERY LIGHT stretches and exercises, and my pain had finally subsided and I could turn my head without nearly any stiffness or pain. By December I was 15lbs heavier than the beginning of my injury and lost a great deal of progress. I couldn't for the life of me get a muscle up after having done 4 perfectly strict 6 months before. I didn't let that get me down though. I was honestly just thankful to be able to train, as I spent many times wondering if I ever would again. I now always keep an eye on how my neck and lower traps are feeling, and if I get anything even remotely close to the paint I felt during this time, I stop what I'm doing altogether. Diet/Weight:Here's a fun graph of my weight over the past year. At a lot and pretty crapp-ily during my injury, which was the main cause of my +15lbs (Fast food a few times a week, guesstimating 3000-3500 calories a day). I did believe that if I maintained a higher body fat, I would lose less muscle while recovering. Having tested that theory, I don't think it was helpful to my overall progress. With bodyweight moves, it really comes down to how efficient you are with your weight, so maybe this would be more applicable to bodybuilding. Since the start of 2020 I've eaten pretty clean. I love that the graph above reflects this super well. I've been aiming for 2500-3000 calories a day and minimizing going out for food. (Quarantine has made this easier) Usual Breakfast: Small bowl of oatmeal with peanut butter, hemp seeds, honey. I also like greek yogurt and granola. Usual Lunches: Sandwich & kettle-cooked chips, beef or chicken with rice and broccoli. Usual Dinner: Meat and rice dish with a vegetable, pasta, every once and a while something delivered from a restaurant. I didn't track my calories at all this year, but I did spend a month last year tracking everything which taught me a lot about what I was putting into my body. I highly suggest trying this for a few weeks as you might be surprised by some of the things you're eating. Reflection/Moving Forward:Okay, it took me writing this whole post up so far to be proud of my progress for this year. I know you're probably thinking, fuck this guy, of course you should be proud, but you have to understand my perspective. I caused myself to basically lose an entire year of training. I have super high hopes of where my training will take me (One arm Front Lever, Planche, One arm Handstand). I know that these goals are on the edge of what is even humanly possible, so losing a year feels like a huge loss to me. And honestly, I didn't realize how much progress I've made with the Handstand this year until I looked back at my last year's footage. I'm very thankful creating this post made me realize that. Moving forward, its definitely all about injury prevention. And I've made a bit of a realization this past month about how I handle injuries. I am always reactive instead of being proactive. I wait until I feel pain or problems, then work on fixing it. Next year my goal is to be proactive and try to spend my time upfront, instead of after I recognize the problem. Here are some other hopes for my next year of training:
Thanks so much for reading this. I'll respond to questions you have below and I'll catch you all next June! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I(21M) nearly throw up during cardio, should i continue or change my routine Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:42 AM PDT I have history with asthma so i really have a low stamina. i rarely workout. My bmi is normal (50kg+) but i started to develop a belly. I found some T25 videos so I think its a good starting place for me. The reason why i wanted to workout is to have better body shape and build some stamina. Halfway on first day routine (cardio), i have to stop because i start feeling dizzy and wanted to throw up. Should i find another easier routine or stick with it? If i should change, can you recommend me the easier workout. Thank you [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Calisthenics Exercises for Punching/Kicking/MMA Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:20 AM PDT I've been trying to develop my strength training to build explosive speed and force in combat training.

| Free live workout sessions with professional coaches Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:45 AM PDT Hey, It might be interesting for some of you, so I'm sharing. In Caliverse mobile app there are free live workout sessions that everyone can attend to to train together with professional coaches. Sessions include introduction to calisthenics, learning handstands and dragonflags and of course some strength circuits. Workout session recording are available also for free in app. You can see upcoming sessions here: https://www.caliverse.app/workout-sessions Cheers, Daniels [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Trouble transitioning from floor handstand to parallette handstand Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:20 AM PDT I'm pretty confident with my floor HSs, and so recently began transitioning to using parallettes to vary my training - and found myself back at ground zero! I can kick up smoothly but can't for the life of my find my balance. Obviously, as with regular floor HS, a large degree of time and patience is necessary (as with any new skill), but just wondering if anyone out there who has made the transition in the same order as myself, has any tips?

| Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:52 AM PDT I have seen this exercises showcased in an old CalisthenicMovement video. You get into the inverted hang and then perform pull-ups in that position. Is there a specific benefit to this exercise that your usual pulling exercises (such as standard pull-ups and Australian pull-ups) don't provide? Is there any reason to include this exercise into pull workouts? Edit: Link to the video (exercise starts at 2:49): https://youtu.be/9FN4Z26kPVY [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Decided to try and do the workout correctly Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:47 AM PDT I been doing bodybuilding for about almost 2 years and never thought I was doing the workout wrong since I made good gains(129-165). I ran into an old ATHLEAN-X video about how most people are doing the push ups/pull ups. I was one of them. I wasn't doing the full rep. I decided to try and do it correctly, and holy fuck it's 2x harder. I've normally done 400 push and 100 pull ups. And after doing it the way it's supposed to be done I probably did 55 percent of my normal routine and I feel sored as hell. To the people who are just starting really focus on doing the exercise right. Because I feel like I'm starting all over again. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Broke most of my fingers, recovered, still struggling with pull up/grip strength Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:52 AM PDT Hi all, I (29 F) badly fractured most of my fingers on both hands late last year in a sailing accident. The thumbs were mercifully okay. The broken fingers were surgically repaired with plates and 60 tiny screws. The fractures healed by late December last year, and I've been working out again in earnest since January, but I'm still finding my pull strength to be constrained by what I assume is reduced grip strength. Prior to the accident I was able to complete 3 sets of 10 strict form pull ups. Now I am limited to 3 pull ups per set. This is really getting me down as I don't seem to be able to improve beyond this despite training often for the last 6 months, and I want to work towards getting my first muscle up. Any thoughts on compensating for the reduced grip strength, or ways to increase grip strength? My hand physiotherapist was helpful to get me back to normal functioning but has not really been able to assist with getting me back to athletic performance.

| How can I make my triceps, shoulder and chest to work harder. Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:16 AM PDT I have been doing calisthenics for a year now. I can do 10-11 reps of good form HSPU(chest to wall assisted because I can't balance myself) and can even do 5-8 tuck planche push ups. I am also currently doing 15-20 kg+ dips for 10-12 reps. I don't know how to target my push muscles more efficiently and I think I have plateaued. How can I change things up and make them more challenging to help my lagging chest, triceps and shoulder to build up mass. My body is still pretty skinny and I still do have some fat. So they might get even skinnier if I start to cut extremely. I can edit and put my pictures in on my skiny arms if you think it would help evaluating. I really need help on this because I have plateaued in strenght, muscle mass and now my motivation is even lowering. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tendon Strengthening Tips by Matteo Deuanuis Spinazzola Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:49 AM PDT Recently Matteo Spinazzola uploaded this video on his channel in which he gives some tips for strengthening the tendons. The video is in Italian and I don't speak Italian but the video has English subtitles but they are still hard to understand. I tried my best to translate what he said in the video. If you're a native Italian speaker, please correct me wherever I am wrong. For those who don't know who Matteo is, he is one of the strongest street workout athlete in the world. He is known for doing ridiculous feats of strength like one arm handstand pushups on rings, one arm front lever pullups, etc to name a few. Check out his channel to know more. Please note that these tips are his opinion, not mine. Anyways, here are the excerpts from the video : Having strong tendons is super important, not only to prevent injuries, but because tendons "decide" how much power you can use when performing a movement. In other words, if you have a tendon injury, you cannot apply your power even if you want. He himself never did anything particular from his point of view to strengthen the tendons, except from the things that will be explained in this post. You should also know that the risk of injury also depends on your genetics, but anyway anyone can get stronger by following the tips mentioned below 1.Warmup
2.Progress slowly and gradually
3.Progressive overload is the key to strengthening your tendons
4.Have some variety in your training
5.Rehab (This part might violate Rule #2 of this sub so if that's the case, please let me know.)

| GMB wrist prep + hypermobility noob questions Posted: 15 Jun 2020 12:08 PM PDT I'm sorry this is long, but my pole dance studio closed due to corona so I'm going from knowing 0 about fitness and trusting my progression through their warm ups to having to be totally responsible for my own progression so I'm trying to really learn more about bwf so I can keep improving on my own. I also broke a lot of bones in my left hand/wrist late last summer, and while I'm done with PT I did learn that I have "impressive" hypermobility in my wrists and elbows (in hindsight explains why I find certain pole moves more difficult). I'm not so sure I want to increase my flexibility more, as I think that might just continue to make things more difficult for pole, and I should maybe find something that gives strength instead? (If I find something, can/should I sub it into the RR in place of this?) EDIT: Oh, maybe this should have gone in the beginner daily discussion/RR thread? Oof. Sorry. I guess I'm more interested in learning how to adapt movements in general to my body, or training my body to adapt to movements, and these aren't limited to RR activities.

| Mixing dumbbell weight training with RR? (For hypertrophy) Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:31 AM PDT Been doing the RR for 2 months now. I'm a skinny fella and I got into bodyweight fitness mainly to build up some strength and move my lazy ass. I'm also gaining right now. My Routine now: My body right now: https://imgur.com/a/1Kpw5Yu I still look skinny. I'd like to hit some good hypertrophy. So is it advisable to include some dumbbell training along with RR?

| Does external tibial torsion cause anterior pelvic tilt? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:20 AM PDT So I found out I have both of these and I saw someone say in a yt comment section if u have external tibial torsion, anterior pelvic tilt can be caused by it because the body is trying to compensate for the twisted leg bones from external tibial torsion, is this true? Or are they just their own problems that don't really correlate with each other? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| What are some good prerequisites for gymnastics rings training? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 01:16 PM PDT My cousin just bought some gymnastics rings and was asking me how he should start using them. Having developed costochondritis from doing too much too soon on the rings, I advised that he work up to 5 sets of 60s of plank on the rings using the prilepin tables. After that I suggested moving to pushups (5 sets 10-15), support hold (5 sets of 30 with prilepin tables), and finally ring dips (5 sets of 5 and so on). Do you think that this progression is adequate to avoid connective tissue damage? Are there any other prerequisites that you all could recommend?

| Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:16 AM PDT hey, im a calisthenics athlete, been doing it for about 3 years, ive never really done much freestyle, and Ive been working to change that up for the last month or so. i want to put together a cool little freestyle combo. Problem is: i kinda chicken out with some moves, or just dont dare to do some, like swinging on your knees 360, or on the shrimpflip i focus so much on landing correctly that i cant focus on regrabbing the bar. also, i dont dare to use the higher bars for shrimp flips that would enable me to get enough airtime maybe idk. anyone have any tips and tricks to dare to some more or less dangerous freestyle moves or how i should go about that? TL;DR: I need advice on how to dare to do calisthenics freestyle moves that are a bit dangerous [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Testing Progress via Benchmarks? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 09:38 PM PDT I'm curious about the best ways to track hypertrophy progress (like many I get impatient with my gains and question whether I'm doing things right) My 2 main questions are:
Fwiw - my current methods of tracking are: a. Check body fat via 7 sites w/ calipers every 2 weeks con hard to do right if you're untrained (me) / likely looking at bogus numbers b. Measure flexed bicep, chest, and thigh circumference con: none? I'll probably make a post about my progress from the last ~2-3 months soon! [link] [comments] |
