| Wrist Prep Routine as printable PDF Posted: 11 Jun 2020 05:03 AM PDT Hey guys, i'm doing the RR since a couple months and the thing i keep forgetting over and over are the wrist prep exercises. So i thought i draw the exercises to print them out and i like to share that document with the community. If anyone of the creators sees this feel free to link the document to the routine!

| Any apps similar to fitbod but free? Posted: 11 Jun 2020 01:16 PM PDT I loved the simplicity of fitbod. Fitbod allows you to choose which equipment you have, and can sync it with Apple health/watch. There were also instructional videos to show you form. The trick is that after your first workout, they tell you that that was one of the three free workouts. Is there an app similar but has unlimited workouts? Stay healthy [link] [comments] |
| Is it seriously dangerous to do 100 push ups/100 pull ups daily Posted: 11 Jun 2020 01:09 PM PDT I've been doing this for about a week and I've seen some results. I do do about 15 pull ups until failure and about 40 push ups until failure. I'm relatively skinny and I'm a beginner so any help/suggestions would be appreciated. I personally like this routine because of its simplicity but I don't want to end up injuring myself [link] [comments] |
| How to combine levers with weighted exercises?please help Posted: 11 Jun 2020 01:09 PM PDT Hello! Its my first post so be kind please! So,the point is I have been doing my plan like this: Day 1 3x Full front lever 3x adv tuck planche 3x very advanced tuck front lever 3-4x front lever presses ( in Progression) 3-4x adv tuck planche pushups (kinda mastering them) 3-5x adv tuck front lever pullups 3-5x planche lean pushups 3-5x planche leans 3-5x adv tuck fl holds Day2 stay the same but without full front lever Day3 off Day4 like day 1 Day 5 weighted pullups 5x5 Some accesory work for front lever with bands And planche work as above ... I know its quite A lot but I Has been working nice for weeks but then stagnation came in and I wanted to incorporate ohp, weighted dips and maybe bench press to strengthen front deltoids and maybe change something in pullups ,for exampe do it in 3RM range and 8RM... It might also look chaotic but it Has always been A pain in The ass to make A good plan for myself :/ To sumarize: I wanted to incorporate weights to my plan to get rid of weak links (if they are, deltoids maybe) Maybe something like accesory day ? But Im worried that volume would be too high Any ideas? Feel free to post any suggestions:) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2020 12:56 PM PDT I've been training planche on and off for a little, and my right wrist starts to ache when I lean forwards. I'm wondering if the strengthening of the joints and muscles develop at the same rate, or if one is holding the other back. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2020 12:11 PM PDT Volume and intensity. What if you do high intensity but then rest and do more. I'm not talking about classic rest between sets. For an instance I do my normal circuit which is mostly pushups and variations of calisthenics (with include short rest between sets) and then at the end I can't go anymore. But if I rest for about a minute I can do probably about 20 more reps and then after another about 15. So after my main workout, I do about three more sets of 20-15-10 reps (basically to failure but the reps to failure become less as I do more sets) It makes me feel good knowing I have added more volume even though the intensity is pretty high for me personally. I also push my mind into knowing it can do more like that. Do you personally think this is a good method? [link] [comments] |
| How can I increase grip strength for OACU? Posted: 11 Jun 2020 11:30 AM PDT Been trying to do OACU negatives, but when I get to the bottom, I immediately fall off the bar. How can I increase my grip strength for OACU? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2020 11:29 AM PDT If I'm just trying to do a lot of pushups, chin ups, and pull ups a day during quarantine and not really following a hard program do I need rest days? Would maybe rotating exercise by day (push-ups Monday, chin ups Tuesday etc) accomplish that since as of now I am doing a variety each day? I still should be cashing in on the noob gains and never really feel too sore when I wake up. [link] [comments] |
| Should I stop HSPU for a while Posted: 11 Jun 2020 11:11 AM PDT I recently maxed out on 4 Wall HSPU. That was 3 days ago. The next day I tried to do it again but I couldn't get through one rep & I was leaning in more on my right hand & i felt slight pain on the right side of my back. I tried it again yesterday & same thing happened but now I feel the same feeling on my back when doing pushups. Should I lay off of the HSPU and do more pikes or should I just not do anything shoulder related for a while? [link] [comments] |
| Skinny 22 year old with muscle imbalance Posted: 11 Jun 2020 10:51 AM PDT Hello, sorry for the text for a simple question, but I figured context is better than no context. I am 22 years old and about two weeks ago I started the recommended routine for body weight fitness. I don't have tons of equipment so I use household objects to work with, like a bed sheet and a door frame for rows. For reference I am 6'2 and weight 150, so I'm pretty skinny. Never really worked out before. My issue is muscle imbalances on my left arm versus my right. I'm right arm dominant but my left arm is bigger in both the tricep and bicep area than the right arm, to me its pretty noticeable. My question is, should I continue the body weight exercises with this issue? I can't do a lot of reps so right now I'm focusing on form, but every time I've done this program so far it always feels like my left arm is dominating the workout for me, I really try to focus on my right arm to be equal in pushing and pulling but it doesn't seem to make a difference, my left arm is the arm that always feels "more pumped" for lack of a better phrase. Should I just replace the arm work with dumbbells to unilaterally "catch up"? Or is this a normal process and will even out with time? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2020 10:26 AM PDT Hi BWF! I want to talk about gap weeks.
At the end of last week, I finished my workout. I made a bit of steady progress, nothing to complain about. But as the weekend went on, my body wasn't feeling as ready for the next week of exercise as it usually did. I decided that what my body really seemed to be asking for was an extended rest period before the next workout, and I did some googling, and this is actually encouraged every 2 to 3 months. It's been 4 months or so for me. So I've taken this week off. Haven't trained a thing since last Friday. Starting again on Monday. Using this time to figure out a smarter way to get my strength/skill/flexibility/cardio goals on the same page without overtraining. Today I plan on doing a "how many pushups/pullups can i do" test after a short warmup, and that'll be it for this entire week. I gotta say, my body seems to be responding well. My mind is not. I hate it. I really, really want to hit my pullup bar. This week I've felt like garbage mentally. I keep falling into rabbit holes on the internet, I don't know what to do with myself, I feel all out of sorts. I haven't read this week, I haven't wrote anything this week, I was doing both nearly daily. My meditation practice fell out of whack entirely. I think I might have gap-weeked too hard, to be honest. I probably should have planned some hikes or something. I've got a 3 day weekend starting in 4 hours, and a small roadtrip to some day hike locations and camp spots is exactly what I plan on doing. What about you guys? Any thoughts on weeks off? Is this something you do/don't do, and why? [link] [comments] |

| Unable to progress on OAC due to the assisting arm Posted: 11 Jun 2020 09:38 AM PDT Hello BWF, One of my lifelong goals in calisthenics has always been the one arm chin up, however, since I train using a doorway pullup bar I have no way of safely adding weight anymore. At my best I did 3 reps with 30 kgs added (I was 85 kg at the time). And I have performed a half rep with my 55 kg girlfriend hugging me, so I believe my 1RM would be between 85+40-45 kgs. Since I am limited to unweighted progressions, the band/towel/belt assisted variation is a must, however whenever I try doing those, I feel a discomfort in the elbow that's assisting the rep, the one holding the band. It really is painful, so if I insisted on these variations I'd probably injure my arm. Why is this happening? Is it because I'm relying on my assisting arm too much? Are there alternative variations? I don't feel like just doing more and more regular chin ups is taking me anywhere. Thank you for your input! [link] [comments] |
| Need your help! It's about home gyms/multi-gyms. What do I need to know? Should I get one? Posted: 11 Jun 2020 07:34 AM PDT I would like to start with saying that I'm 17 years old (male), 55-57kg (121- 125pounds) and about 172cm tall (6,7inches). I have been doing a total of 3 months bodyweightfitness (doing the recommended routine) and so far, I have no complaints. (I'm trying to gain weight) Now, after the whole pandemic situation isn't as serious anymore in my country, I finally can go out and buy some equipment. My father was mentioning a multi-gym. But he, and me, don't have any information about that. I've tried to get some information on the internet but I haven't seen something that tells me whether its really worth it or whether I would be better of doing my BWF and buying equipment for that instead of a multi-gym. I have checked reddit posts and websites that are talking about that; Some say it's very convenient and very good for workouts too, and some say it's not worth the money or that it's not very good for workouts because you are limited on the things that you can do and so on... My question here is wether I, as a beginner, should consider buying one. Is it worth it? Worth the money? Or is it better to buy some equipment for pull ups, some rings etc.? Any help and insights are much appreciated. Would love to know more about that. If you think that you know a website that covers this topic, then I would appreciate it if you could send me to that website. Thank you for reading! Have a good day and stay safe! [link] [comments] |
| How to combine RR with martial arts training? Posted: 11 Jun 2020 06:58 AM PDT Hello to this lovely community! TL;DR at the end :) I have been doing casually different sports (volley, rock climbing, crossfit-ish training, muay thai) over the last 10 years, but in most of them the focus was in endurance and technique instead of strength and muscle building. So my cardio endurance is quite good.1.5 years ago I had a slight injury that made me stop all kinds of workouts for about a year (where I also gained a couple of kilos). Since January (6 months ago) I started doing some bodyweight workout at home, following the YAYOG app and the last 3 weeks i discovered this sub and the RR and I'm loving it!I can say that within 3 weeks, my gf already noticed some difference in my body (mostly feel, not visual yet) and I have seen good progress over the exercises.Combined with some more proper diet I also lost weight again and I'm down to my normal kilos now. Now I want to start training Muay Thai again. Not planning to be a competitive fighter, but rather do it because I really enjoy it. At the Muay Thai training we usually do more high cardio exercises (eg, quick combos of punch and kicks) and the last 10 minutes we do some strength training (eg, push ups, pulls ups and ab crunches). Training is only twice a week so I want to continue doing RR as well because I like it. So here's the question: How should I combine the two trainings?
Stats Age: 38, Height: 173cm, Weight: 74kg In general I'm more focused in strengthening right now but I don't want to neglect cardio and as i said find MT quite fun so I really want to start it again. TL;DR: Currently doing RR and I also want to start Muay Thai (which is 80% cardio - 20% strength) twice a week. How can I combine the two workouts? Alternate days between the two or do both on the same days? Edit: Formatting. Changed list from a,b,c,d to 1,2,3,4 [link] [comments] |
| Handstands - My Progression & Me needing help Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:25 PM PDT Okay, as the title says I need help with handstands and progressing. I can do a kick up to wall handstand pretty easily and can hold for 30-60 seconds. I'm able to move my legs around somewhat freely, such as I can easily put them into a V position or bend one leg. I've also been doing the Toe Pulls & Heel Pulls from the FAQ, but there's where I'm stuck. I've been on that sort of stage for about a month now and I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Should I just keep up with the repetition and eventually I'll get it or are there other exercises that I could follow? Or am I just being impatient and just practice more and wait? I have another question on what a "handstand workout" should be. Strength isnt the issue, moreso balance, so I just have been doing handstands on repeat, on scattered instances throughout the day for about 20 seconds each 3-4 times a day. I have about 2 longer sessions, about 1 minute 30 seconds (Yeah not that much longer I know) where I do some recommended balance tips I found online such as
The instances where I do those only last for about 1 minute 30 seconds, so my question is, is that enough for a daily exercise for handstand progression, or is there more I could be doing? I'm not sure if any of the following information could be relevant but I've seen it done in other posts Weight: 125 lbs Height: 5 ft 5 in ~ 165cm Thank's so much for any help! [link] [comments] |
| Why actors do complex exercises while they can do basic heavy lifting and caloric deficit? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:09 PM PDT I am really curious to know about this. Like I've seen in videos they are going really hard on exercising that involves really complex movements? While they can just go in deficit and do basic heavy lifiting? I am referring to cutting only here. Thanks, [link] [comments] |
