| /r/bodyweightfitness Feedback Thread - June 2020 Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:34 AM PDT Hi,and welcome back to our 1 500 000 subscribers and GuidelinesWe have passed 1.5 million members! We previously clocked in at 711k. That's 1,500,000 people not reading the FAQ. As we welcome our newcomers, the mod team would like to remind everyone of the posting guidelines. We have seen a surge in the number of posts recently, and many seem not to have read the wiki (surprise). A gentle reminder if you're new: the Training guide is a good place to start, and the FAQ and Wiki contain the answers to most questions. Following the posting guidelines and using the appropriate threads, e.g. Training Tuesdays or Daily Discussion will significantly reduce the amount of clutter on the frontpage, and free up mods to streamline the wiki. (Please.) Motivational Month and AMAsA very belated thanks to Emmet and Mikael for their AMA in 2019. Thank you /u/Antranik for organizing this year's Handstand Motivational Month, and the teachers and performers from Handstand Factory for their feedback and advice /u/emmetlouis /u/handbalancer /u/superlolzer /u/sevefeathers. Their latest AMA can be found here. Special ThanksWe would like to extend a special thank you to all content writers and regular contributors to discussion on the subreddit. We see and appreciate your efforts in helping to direct the newbies to resources and answering questions every day. Thank you - You are appreciated members of our community. Mod Team UpdatesWe'd also like to extend our sincere thank-yous to /u/MrSylphie and /u/SweelFor, affectionately known as ThunderThighs and the Slayer of Shitposts, who have left the mod team over the last year. Some of you may remember them fondly as messages sparkling under your removed posts, others by their dedication to the subreddit. We welcome /u/occamsracer to the tyrant team, who has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to maintain the subreddit over this period of subreddit growth; as well as our prize, /u/Potentia, to help with community engagement and keep everyone in line (see mod goal from previous thread – "making feedback threads more frequent") DiscordWe have a discord @ discord.gg/bwf where you can hang out and ask questions. Mod Team Goals
RecruitmentWe are looking for new moderators. Being a mod is not about being the strongest at BWF or the most popular. The main qualities we are looking for are being active on the sub, understanding how it functions, and being familiar with the rules and wiki resources. We need mods keen on post removals and redirecting members to appropriate resources. If getting berated by newbies who don't read the FAQ this sounds like the job for you, please apply via this form. We appreciate that some of you may have previously applied, but we would like a fresh indication of interest considering the time elapsed. Thank you for your consideration, and we will read through and consider every application. Wiki UpdatesWe are looking for content writers to write Workout Wednesday/Theory Thursday posts or other material for the wiki. Ideal candidates should have a background in exercise science, and/or relevant BWF training experience. Special flairs and champagne up for grabs. If this does not sound like you, you can still contribute by nominating posts that should be in wiki. This will help further improve our wiki content for wandering redditors. Please drop us a line about any post that deserves to be immortalized on the grand wall. We've received feedback that it may be good to include more female content creators in demonstration videos - this is a work in progress. Please send recommendations our way. If you would like to discuss any of above, please drop us a modmail or post in the comments below. We want to hear from you
We appreciate constructive criticism and will consider all ideas and feedback shared here. We encourage you to use this thread to discuss any ideas you may have regarding our sub moving forward (not a Recommended Routine questions thread). Thank you for your support over the years. Yours in Betty White Fandom, The Mods [link] [comments] |
| Just a 'Thank You' (and some feedback): The RR is the best thing ever! Posted: 09 Jun 2020 05:08 AM PDT TL;DR: I've been working on my fitness for the last 10 years (on and off), and i've found the RR (EDIT: RR = "recommended routine", it's in the sidebar) to be the greatest single thing ever! And it even improved with the new routine. Thank you so much, /r/bodyweightfitness! My background: Desktop worker (research, actually), no sports until i came down with severe depression at the age of 38 in 2010. Got into sports in 2011, although it's been a constant on/off-thing. When i started, my body was a wreck. I was overweight, my spine was crooked and i wasn't able to do a single pull-up. In these 10 years i tried/practiced: walking, running, swimming, Wing Chun, Escrima, Chi Gong, a little Tai Chi, a little Yoga, dumbbell routines, crossfit (where i learned barbell and olympic lifting, we had an ex-olympian lifting coach in our box), HIIT-routines, stretching routines and some other minor experiments. I first started with the RR in 2015, and it immediately help me correct imbalances i had build up with other routines. (I'm very much self-taught in workouts since i placed major emphasis on independence from the very beginning.) From the beginning, i loved the clean structure of it and that you have progressions for everything. While not really emphasized, the RR requires more attention for your own body than many other approaches, and that is another great thing about it, it's the gentle way to strength. I picked up running (again) quite seriously in 2018 and stopped all strength work for that. Now, i'm finally at a point where I'm back on the RR, in addition to running. (Alternating days.) I'm somewhere in my fifth consistent week (at least 2 but mostly 3 workouts per week) and while on sunday i was wondering if it was time to deload, i had the greatest, most satisfying workout yesterday and made huge progress. From that perspective, i think i'm in a good position to compare the old and new RR. The old one was great, the new one is even better! For me, it's a very good thing that skill work is taken out, since i have to establish the basics firmly, first. I'd love to learn handstands and stuff some day, but I'm still working on setting up good form with banded nordic curls. Also, the new warm-up is a lot easier and the core-work seems to be in a better place at the end of the workout, at least for me. Now, i can get to the "big" excercises like squats and pull-ups quickly, and once i've done that, the rest is much easier since i know i'm through "the worst" already. I do like my pistols, though, and stick to them for now. I tried shrimps but they are still difficult for me. In the process, i noted that i can only work on one challenging excercise at a time in order to maintain a tight workout. That means: Once i'm really comfortable with my banded nordics, i will give them another try. I think what i appreciate the most about the RR is your mindful approach. More than with other things (except for chinese martial arts), the RR has taught me to listen to my body. That is absolutely crucial for anybody coming from a rehab perspective, i believe. The RR has, over the years, also proven to be extremely reliable: It's relatively easy to get into it and results in terms of improvement of well-being are quick and reliable. Overall, while i will continue experimenting with sports in general, it has become the cornerstone of my quest to take care of my physical self. It also sets the bar for everything else i try. So: Thank you so much! Your work has had a profound impact on me! P.S.: If anyone's interested, i wrote a couple of paragraphs on mental illness and workouts here. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 01:01 PM PDT Hey there, So 14 months ago I started with the recommended routine (as well as a diet) and thanks to you guys I was able to get up and train at least 3 times a week. Pic: http://imgur.com/a/FNlQZJm ( Face covered for privacy reasons) Left side is me now with 93 kg Right side is me 14 months ago with 109.8 kg I was already doin normal barbell training before for at least 2 years but rather inconsistent. I could only perform 1-2 pull-ups and now I'm able gut get 3x8! Same goes for pushups and now I'm doin 3x7 ring pushups. But my biggest achievement are 3x6-7ish HSPU's. Thanks to everybody that's active in here and helping others out. I hope I can motivate some people to keep on goin! [link] [comments] |
| Building bone for menopausal 57 year old Posted: 08 Jun 2020 02:09 PM PDT 57 year old concerned about bone loss due to aging. I have significant osteoarthritis in both knees so cannot do any kneeling or squats. I'm at a healthy BMI, walk 30-45 mins/day, and do some basic stretching and low impact you tube workouts. I think I need something more formal/progressive to assist with bone loss and will start the recommended routine as outlined on this sub. Since squats are the best for increasing bone density, is doing basic (minimal knee bending) wall squats or resistant band squats enough to strengthen muscle around my knees? Or is there something else I can do? (Unfortunately I'm not a candidate for knee replacement until 65 so I've got to do something to keep going.) [link] [comments] |
| If you had to choose just 3 exercises for planche, which would you choose? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:19 AM PDT Gun to your head decision: "CHOOSE!" Rules: • You're stuck with these 3 exercises until you nail the planche • progressions of the same exercise are included as one exercise (so isometrics holds includes tuck, adv. tuck, straddle etc) • if you don't nail the planche eventually, you're gonna get shot - so choose wisely [link] [comments] |
| Rings for rows that attach to a door? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 03:29 PM PDT Any recommendations for rings that can be attached to do door for doing vertical rows? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 03:24 PM PDT Hi all, I'm trying to do archer pull ups on the Iron Gym, but it's not quite wide enough to wrap my arm around like most of the other videos show. As such, I can sort of pull up and lock off, but the supporting arm isn't able to straighten and guide the arm that's locking off. Is this a decent way of doing it? Are there any alternatives, variations, or am I just out of luck? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| What exercises ACTUALLY give you a six pack? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 02:46 PM PDT The internet is full of different articles that basically say to do crunches and cardio. But I'm really skeptical and not sure what's true. I would rather hear how to get abs from knowledgeable people. I understand the importance of eating well and being lean. But I am wondering what specific exercises I should do. For context, I'm a female with 20% body fat and I am not interested in losing any weight. I already have a lean waist and a "two pack". Please don't tell me to only do cardio. I am interested in making my ab muscles bigger and becoming stronger without sacrificing the few curves/fat that I have. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 11:20 AM PDT Hello, I am planning on starting the front lever only program of Fitness Faqs Lever Pro program next week. It is a 3x a week program and I was wondering if I could replace the last workout to work on pull-ups or rows. That would make it 2 FL workouts a week, just like the 4x a week BL & FL version of the program. Do you think that it is ok if I do this and still keep fl progress? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Carryover, Extremely heavy pullups and standard Posted: 09 Jun 2020 10:24 AM PDT So currently I am training for a 4 plate pull. Assume someone already has this, after achieving it they want to do endurance training for 3-4 weeks to give their joints a break from the heavy load. They chose to train bodyweight endurance for 4-5 weeks. Upon returning to weighted pullups, do you lose strength? I know that the standard exercise is no, but since nearly doubling your bodyweight will change the leverages of the exercise I wanted to know. Am curious what peoples experience are who pull 180+ themselves and take a extended break from weighted pullups. Do you lose strength? Or do you keep your strength as long as you continue to do pullups. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 06:37 AM PDT I know that there are bodyweight exercises for your legs but I was wondering if I could build muscles there if I do running and bicycling? For some reason I just really dislike the exercises for legs. [link] [comments] |
| How to know when a muscle strain is healed? Is "tingling" after workout a bad sign? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 09:44 AM PDT I started doing body weight exercises about a year ago (after doing no kind of exercise other than long distance running for my entire life) and it was going very well and I was getting really into it. In early April, I did what was for me an intense chest day with a lot of push ups, incline push ups, decline push ups, and chest dips and felt fine other than normal soreness. The next day, I did pull ups and after around 10 or so I could tell I had done something to my chest and it was in an abnormal amount of pain in my left pec. After a few days, the feeling of aching even when I wasn't doing anything went away, and I continued doing other non-chest focused exercises. I had recently gotten some light weights so I was doing bicep curls, skull crushers, and shoulder presses. That went on for a few weeks but often after I would finish a workout I could still feel a little tingle in my chest that I figured wasn't good, so I decided to stop working out entirely. After about 3 weeks of no physical activity (besides running) I decided to try doing pull ups again. I did 3, and it didn't hurt when I did them, but the next day I could feel it in my left pec again and figured I needed to take more time off. It has been about 5 weeks since then. On Saturday night, I did 10 push ups just to see how they felt, and I was in no pain. I similarly felt no pain Sunday or Monday, which had me hyped. This morning I decided to try doing 3 pull ups again to see how it felt, and it didn't hurt at all. Now it's about 3 hours later, and I once again feel this tingling in my left pec. Does this mean I'm still not healed? It's really driving me crazy that it's been so long and I still can't work out. When I do these little tests and I feel it tingle does that mean I am just setting my recovery back even further? Any help or guidance would be appreciated, especially in quarantine not being able to work out has me feeling useless and I want to be able to start it up again. [link] [comments] |
| Question about loosing weight and reps, advice/ your story? Posted: 09 Jun 2020 12:46 AM PDT Hi , well, a question, I am trying to loose weight, because of my bmi/ getting older, not wanting to be a pear... and I want to look slimmer, so, I am on a diet/ no sugar, etc and some calorie deficit. Wanting to start , really start RR and doing GTG/ FPUP on my notreallystartedRRdays..... I weigh 77 kilos now, want to loose around 8 or 9 kilos. 1,78 cm tall. Can do 10-12pushups,5 diamond,3/4 dips, 2-3pullups, etc. IF I succeed, I am just curious, would my reps maybe go up, by being lighter? I found loosing weight for sportsclimbing an advantage, I was 87 kilos first.... I take Protein around 1,5x my weight every day and BCAAs, do you think, would my muscles 'stay' if I made sure I kept using them ( lol :)) via RR or GTG/ FighterPUP and might my reps of pullups ( 2-3max) even ' go up' a bit because of becoming lighter? Anyone has experience with loosing around 10 kilos, being a bit of a novice AND working out, but( because of teenagers at home, lockdown,other issues) not that much/ as much as I would like too...? Tia!!!! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 04:07 AM PDT During quarantine I build a calisthenics park in my back yard. I'm pretty happy with the outcome but I'd like to add double bars. I did some research and came to the conclusion that the whole thing will be 2 meters long and 120cm high but I couldn't decide how wide the bars should be apart. I'm thinking somewhere between 50cm and 80cm. The park was originally designed to be an obstacle course so I think 80cm are better if I want to use it as an obstacle but most of the time I'm doing bodyweight workouts at the parkour so 60cm are better for dips and other exercises. I'm happy to hear and discuss your arguments and thank you for your help! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 08 Jun 2020 12:34 PM PDT I've got some wooden gymnastics rings. I've used them for about a year and they sometimes have little splinters. The wood is also pretty dried out. Does it make sense to sand/oil the rings like I would an axe handle to keep them in good shape? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Jun 2020 12:11 AM PDT Is there anybody here who experienced having their other shoulder higher than the other one when doing dips? How did you fix it?? [link] [comments] |
