| Posted: 02 Jun 2020 07:04 AM PDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8m_d-pj2Mk I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but this has to be one of the best tips I've ever seen for almost every exercise. Essentially, just squeeze your armpits together when you're doing your exercises. This tip seems pretty useless at first, but trust me just try it. I tried this with my planche leans and ring pushups today, and it was insane how much more stable and strong I felt. [link] [comments] |
| One joy of the past few months is working out with my daughter. Posted: 01 Jun 2020 07:49 PM PDT I've been doing this for about 4 years now, and amazing experience I've had has been working out with my daughter. She's a high school grad now. We are lucky enough to have a deck, my dip station from 20 years ago, and a big pine tree for the rings. We put on a playlist and enjoy some time together. I just wanted to say thanks for all the info throughout the years which helped me keep going and learning, sharing that with her, and being a part of a great memory this spring. [link] [comments] |
| TIP: Check YT channels in another language Posted: 01 Jun 2020 10:34 PM PDT I found videos to be helpful with the visual explanations and video edits, which I haven't seen before in any video. Some channels have English sub too. Sure, Fitness FAQ, Austin Dunham etc. are all great. But there's helpful content in other languages too, even though they might not be as popular as them (but I bet there must be some as popular as them or even more). Even though you don't understand the language, you should be able to understand and learn some new things. At least I did. Maybe I'm more of a visual person / learner, I don't know. As always, what may work for me might not work for you. I'm gonna leave few links below. Let YT help you find more channels thanks to the recommendations. You can also translate some words into a language and search. I've looked mainly into japanese and chinese ones. But there's way more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YYjqRW8nTBU https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG0jcxm4mH4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sd3RGjAZEVo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jUzbOjswiRg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qhcZIFYsczQ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC1J87-Tf192Lv3Y4nR4lV9Q https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCY2lk1MDWLQiqIpzUzx-WOw https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCVdr-eRqzvzKHMpiU4YuNIQ https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCuupTsc2mApj0wUP5zwbpqw [link] [comments] |
| I’m looking at calisthenics to help improve my anxiety Posted: 02 Jun 2020 11:20 AM PDT Hey everyone, I was thinking of starting a program where I work out 45 minutes per day for 5 days per week using body weight exercises (pushups, squats, crunches). Has anyone on here struggled with anxiety and if so, has calisthenics helped? [link] [comments] |
| How to transition from barbell and dumbbell bodybuilding to bodyweight Posted: 02 Jun 2020 12:56 PM PDT Howdy ya'll; up until recently, I was primarily surviving the apocalypse via a set of dumbbells I shared with my roommate and using result db variants of the Arnold Blueprint plans. However, we have now recently separated and I am left a little in the lurch, as the Blueprint plans were 1) having excellent results for me and 2) pretty comprehensive in terms of both movements and diet. Luckily my new place is very close to our local outdoor gym, which has plenty of equipment for bodyweight movement; I am now looking for some kind of replacement plan for the time being to tide me over until gyms reopen in my state (roughly a month out). Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2020 12:09 PM PDT I have never worked out a day in my life!! I was looking at the recommended routine and I can't do a pull up and I Definitely can't do a dip. I Am 175 6ft and skinny fat no muscle mass with a dad body at the age of 30 looking to truly turn this around Please give me some advice [link] [comments] |
| I stopped and I can’t go back. Posted: 02 Jun 2020 11:40 AM PDT It's been almost a year before i stopped working out. I tried to come back but I just can't see myself being motivated to work out. Sometimes i work out but i couldn't be consistent in my progress. Do you guys have any tips for me who lost the drive to work out? [link] [comments] |
| Choice: "Bodybuilding Approach" or "Gymnast Approach"? Posted: 02 Jun 2020 06:03 AM PDT For 5 years have I been training but I only made significant progress in the 1st year, where my weight increased by 12 kilograms. Now for the 4 other years, I have had extremely poor sleep quality and been consistently undereating. Over that time period I grew bored of working out in the gym. But am now enamoured by bodyweight training. You have countless beautiful moves that I wish to learn and conquer. But I am weighed down every time I glance in the mirror. For I am still relatively underweight and as the years have gone by, this have not changed. And thus I feel split. As you might have guessed, I tend to suffer from analysis paralysis, due to wanting to optimize everything. And am therefore looking forward to take inspiration from the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) this time around. I will prioritize having a regular sleep schedule, eating at a slight caloric surplus and working through the Recommended Routine 3 times a week. I will track my weight upon waking up and my progress for each workout in a small notebook, and adapt accordingly. Do you reckon this is the correct approach for me? Even if I am more motivated to learn specific skills? Or would you compromise? [link] [comments] |
| Horizontal/Vertical push and pull Posted: 02 Jun 2020 01:15 PM PDT I have a ring routine right now, and I have to say, after dips, I really just don't see ring push-ups being necessary, it feels like it hits exactly the same area for me personally, and i'm usually already quite fatigued in those muscle groups after dips.. But I've heard this "horizontal/vertical balance" being preached before, and I'm wondering... just how important is it? For reference, I do both horizontal and vertical pulling, and they do feel like they hit completely differently. And if I would be missing out on something by not doing a horizontal push? Actual scientific articles appreciated, if any. Lastly, do pike push-ups count as "horizontal"?... [link] [comments] |
| Mark Lauren's Body by you: I don't get it! Can someone explain, please? Posted: 02 Jun 2020 12:27 PM PDT So I got myself that book and was exited for the program. I read that it takes about 30 minutes. However, if I follow or, I have only the half meaning 15 minutes. It is 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes workout and my cool down is usually beat saber. Please be gentle, I have exams rn so my brain is barely functioning but I would love to work the program. Just to stupid at the moment [link] [comments] |

| I can't do normal press ups. Only close grip. Posted: 02 Jun 2020 12:17 PM PDT As the title suggests I cannot do normal push ups. I can only do push ups with my elbows touching my body. I can do up to 30 of these close grip push ups. When I put my hands in a slightly wider grip to get the focus off my triceps my elbows just tuck to my side and if I actively push them out it hurts my shoulders. What should I do?

| Posted: 02 Jun 2020 12:12 PM PDT I'm an 18 year old female, with no weight training experience but plenty of times doing HIIT and other workout videos. I just tried the RR for the first time today, and it went ok— as expected it took quite a while because i had to keep coming back to the lists, learning a couple new exercises, finding boxes to use, etc. But, I'm not sure whether it's entirely effective the way that I'm doing it. My upper body is quite weak, so I was able to stick with level one for most arm related exercises which was sufficiently difficult— came close to failure on all of them(can't even do the parallel support hold for more than 40 seconds). But my legs and abs are somewhat stronger, and especially with the shrimp squats and single leg deadlifts I felt like I could have kept going, though my legs were a bit shaky. Is this a normal difference between upper and lower body, or does this mean I need to increase my level on those exercises? Also, I'm used to (as I mentioned before) cardio heavy HIIT or targeted ab/arm/leg workouts where by the end your legs are burning, or you're really tired. I don't feel hardly tired at all after than workout— there were some hard parts but it didn't feel like all out exertion. Is that just a difference that comes with this type of muscle training?

| Opinion about my workout and how can I improve it Posted: 02 Jun 2020 11:01 AM PDT Hello. I'm trying to improve my workout and I want tips and opinions about it. My workout is structured like this: First part : -3 sets of pull ups (8 per set) -3 sets of chin ups (8 per set but the last one is usually 6 + 10 second rest + 2 ) Second part: -3 sets of dips and toes to bar(5-6 & 6 per set) -3 sets of pushups and hanging knee raisers(8& 8 per set) Third part : - 3 sets pike pushups(6 per set) -3 sets of either hanging from a bar or handstand with wall (20-30 sec) Rest : 2 min rest between exercises and 4 min rest between parts My questions are: -Should I do only pull ups and no chin ups? -Should I do handstand push ups negative or keep going with pikes?( I can do a handstand pushup assisted by the wall but not very smooth ) -How should I adjust the program? -I do this workout monday, wednesday and friday , should i do some dumbbell exercises on the days between ? Not sure if it's relevant but here are some info about me: -Age:22 years old -Height:1.80 m -Weight:~78kg( I am a bit fat ) -My equipment consists only of a pull up bar and some 10 kg dumbbells [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 05:10 PM PDT Hello All, Just want to say that I've been so thankful for this community. I started my fitness journey 16 months ago and I am so grateful for stumbling upon Bodyweight fitness. I've noticed that a lot of us here that got attracted by this style of workout because of the cool things you can do that's very impressive, like handstands, L sits and a like. Not to mention the physique. Guys, I am 5'8 and was 220lbs now I am 170lbs. one time I was running, a lady said that I looked like a greek god. Never would I have thought that in this lifetime I would be compared to that. I am truly flattered and tbh, I don't think that I am comparable. Bodyweight fitness is fucking cool because it is very well balanced. It gives you a lot of strength, and also mobility and flexibility. Did I also mention the core strength that allows you to balance? Recently, I've started learning surfing and boy I am surprised on how quickly I adapted to the sport and this is all thanks to calisthenics. Also, one time, my dad needed to repair the chimney and I helped him out, dang I muscled up my way to the top of the chimney!! And now that I know what calisthenics allowed me to do, I am more pumped up to even work harder and pay more attention to the skills and recovery. I also want to give emphasis that calisthenics is not the only way to get there. I also do things that I genuinely enjoy, like yoga, running, cycling and hiking! I also supplement with lifting weights for biceps sometimes. What I'm trying to say is that, you don't have to be a purist - have an open mind and enjoy what you do and just keep doing it, if you need a rest day or two, do it! You want to eat a burger? Go ahead! But also just keep your intentions towards your bigger goal - to move and be able to do what you want when you want(adventures bro!) — this is for me at least. If you keep with this mindset, this will allow you to gauge when it is excessive and will keep you in check with your training and nutrition. Anyway, want to thank you guys and I know we have grown a lot too and if you're a newbie! Welcome and I hope that you will succeed in your fitness and life journey! We all gotta start somewhere. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jun 2020 10:48 AM PDT Hey folks, hope all is well. I am fairly new to bodyweight fitness, 8 month training, and I am still learning how to diet and exercise. Currently I do ring workouts as much as possible as my go to routine mixing both push/pull exercises. A typical routine for me would look like this; 3x8-12 ring dips 3x8-12 pull ups 3x8-12 ring push ups (horizontal) 3x8-12 ring rows 3x12-15 Hanging knee raise Legs I work twice a week. Typical routine will be; 3x8-12 weighted shrimp squat 3sets of lunges with 10lbs (I don't count as I go end to end of fence which is a fair distance) 3x5-8 negative nordic curls 3x35 seconds of weighted(45lbs) wall sits I am attempting to create bigger arms(bicep, tricep and shoulders) and would like to know if I need to target these muscles in isolation, i.e dumbbell curls, or how many sets is recommended per muscle group on a single workout? So far I target to work my muscle groups a minimum of x2 a week. [link] [comments] |
| How to coach young kids in push-up strength Posted: 02 Jun 2020 05:11 AM PDT Similar to another parent that recently posted, I've been coaching 4 young kids (3 of mine and a neighbor) in a structured bodyweight routine for PE over the past 2 months. Ages range from 6 to 11. Part of the point is to help them learn body control (form), part is to help them learn how to track their progress and stay disciplined, and part is to help gain some basic strength. But it's really minimal, so that they can look forward to it and not take much time. Two times a week:
(Yes, they also get play and better exercise on the trampoline, bikes, rope climb, etc.) Overall it's been a success and something different for them. They have learned good form on rows and planks and have learned how to pace themselves for the run. But the push-ups have been a discouragement for the girls. (The only boy is the 6 year old, he's quite strong and enjoys it.) I'm looking for some guidance. All 3 girls started at 4 or 5 sloppy pushups. I have been coaching them on form, and it's improved somewhat. But as their form improves, their numbers drop significantly. The 11-year-old was only able to muster 1 today. I maintain a very positive environment, finding ways to congratulate them, etc. But I can tell they are discouraged. Beyond the discouragement, it appears to me that they have a severe lack of pushing strength, and it seems to be partly focused on the shoulders. My main question is, how can I help them increase some basic pushing strength? Should they start doing a few more sets of kneeling push-ups? Is there some other more fun way that they can actually develop some strength in their pecs, delts, and triceps? Obviously, I'm not going to push them hard, rather I'm hoping to capitalize on their own excitement and determination, while it lasts. [link] [comments] |
| Can someone give advice on how to stay consistent Posted: 02 Jun 2020 11:57 AM PDT I've recently began working out because I'd like to better myself. I'm 15 and I'm actually really skinny but I'd like to get toned. The only problem I'm facing is that I can't stay on a schedule. I try to keep working out daily and having rest days but around 7 days I start getting inconsistent. I'm doing Chloe Tings workout programs so they aren't to hard, I just can't stay on schedule lol.
