    Core exercises that you can implement time under tension

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 03:41 AM PDT

    I want to strengthen my core, recently after the gym closed I started working out without equipments.

    And back in the gym there were some equipments you can apply time under tension with it (for example go up fast, go down for 3-5 seconds slowly)

    Can you give me exercises that I can implement it this way

    Been doing the RR for a while, not feeling anything in my chest

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 11:56 AM PDT

    Hey folks, I've been doing the RR for a while and have been seeing some progress in by back, legs, and shoulders -- but nothing in my chest/pecs. I'm up to the semi-planche pushups, and am either plateauing or not doing them right? I'd like to see more growth and strength in my chest, particularly my upper and inner line.

    Are there exercises I should add or replace the pushups with? I have rings to use, and some 15lb weights, but that's all for equipment.

    Pull-up / chin-up bar recommendations for tall door trim? Door trim is 6 inches tall

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:53 PM PDT

    Just moved into a condo and my Beachbody pull-up bar isn't large enough to go around the top trim of the door frame. The trim is about 6 inches tall.

    Any recommendations for a pull-up bar?

    Alternative exercise for squats which puts less strain on the knees.

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:14 PM PDT

    TLDR: Title.

    Hello Awesome bodyweightfitness community !

    I'm having some issue with my right knee (little internal pain and burning sensation in just the right one). I'm not exactly sure why that is. It came when I used to play Badminton regularly some 4 months ago. And then I stopped playing it exactly because of this issue and it subsided.

    I've had started some calisthenics 2.5 months ago which seemed to triggered this again. And then switched over to RR for a month now(Great decision). I feel whenever I do squats (currently at bodyweight squat can easily do over 10 reps of 3 sets) it sorts of trigger the knee issue again.I'm almost confident on squat form - Deep squat as much as possible. Knees not flaring out.Not sure what exactly is the problem for the knees (could it be hinge progression ?- currently I'm at Single Legged Deadlift).I think the best to do now is to stop doing squats for a while.So I was thinking is there any other progression/set of compound exercise which target the same set of muscle group as squat that I could replace squats with (Ofc that should also not strain the knees) ?

    I know I'm being little too specific in asking but it would be great to be progress and not get hindered.If on the contrary rest seems the best option then would do I do during the gap in the pair (pull-up & squat) ?

    Has anyone here done a PHUL -type program mixing in with bodyweight training?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 03:41 AM PDT

    I want to keep the lower workouts of PHUL but want to use bodyweight for the upper workouts. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Short-ROM weighted pull-ups: better for overall strength & hypertrophy?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:18 PM PDT

    First, let's define 3 types of pull-ups based on ROM as the main criteria:

    1. High-ROM weighted pull-ups (aka 'explosive pull-ups' or 'chest/hips-to-bar'). The top position ends up with the bar touching upper chest or lower. This kind of pull-up is usually done as a way to train for the muscle-up, but has less value regarding pure hypertrophy when compared to the others, because the little muscles around the shoulders (that are engaged in the top position) quickly become the limiting factor (that's why you won't find something like a +50kg hips-to-bar weighted pull-up for reps). Video example: https://youtu.be/_VEpEuSkHyk?t=8

    2. Medium-ROM weighted pull-ups. Here, the top position is reached when the bar is between the collarbone and the chin. This is the standard (most common) way of performing strict weighted pull-ups, using a pronated, supinated or neutral-grip, in a bar or rings. A pause in the top position can easily be done because it's a mechanically-advantaged position, Video example: https://youtu.be/GUUfPCS4xZo?t=15

    3. Short-ROM weighted pull-ups. Here, usually a wider pronated grip is used, in a bar (so that elbows are at about a 90deg angle in the top position), and ROM is limited until chin touches the bar, or very slightly over it. It's very hard to pause in the top, because it's a mechanically disavantaged position. This is the most common way of doing pull-ups when aiming for very high reps (>20), or very high load (world-class 1RMs). Video example: https://youtu.be/nmJCdpGgDVA?t=18 Up until now I've been doing medium-ROM pull-ups, but now I wonder if using short-ROM pull-ups would be best for lats hypertrophy (hence the reason of this topic)

    Normally, the logic behind applying maximum ROM is to maximize the mechanical work on every rep:

    Work = force * distance = load * ROM

    However, I've found lats doesn't contribute that much in the top position of a medium-ROM weighted pull-up (similarly to a high-ROM pull-up)- the load is transferred mostly to arms. When trying to hold the top position of a medium-ROM pull-up, lats might be isometrically contributing, but biceps & forearms are taking a lot of the load. It might make more sense to train the bigger muscles (lats) in its most effective range of motion, with a higher load, rather than letting them be limited by the smaller&weaker muscles around the arms.

    Thus, if the goal is to maximize overall strength & hypertrophy around lats (rather than arms), wouldn't it be better to focus in short-ROM weighted pull-ups rather than medium-ROM weighted pull-ups?

    I'd like to know your opinion about this.

    • Have you tried both medium-ROM & short-ROM weighted pull-ups?

    • Which one do you think is best for overall strength & hypertrophy, and why?

    What are some good excercises for targeting gluteus medius?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2020 12:44 AM PDT

    Hey. Long story short, I have a slight trendelenburg gait(I waddle when I walk). I researched and found this a while ago. I want some excercises that targets the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus (hip abductors). Can you suggest me some excercises?

    Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.

    Is there a specific time period to workout everyday? Can I do workout whenever I like?

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:26 PM PDT

    Looking for some theories that support the answers. I used to workout late night around 10:30pm-11:30pm. Sometimes in the afternoon also. Is this wrong??

    Maximizing Progress without Overtraining

    Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:27 PM PDT

    I've always been an athlete and enjoyed doing calisthenics exercises. I regularly do weighted pull ups, weighted ring dips, and weighted push ups. However, I recently started to take calisthenics more seriously and try to progress to the harder exercises.

    I read through the RR as well as the first 250 pages or so of the Overcoming Gravity book and have put together my own routine customized to my goals. I'm using an every other day full body routine (to get in slightly more workouts than if I was doing a M/W/F full body routine).

    One issue I'm encountering is that I feel super motivated right now, perhaps more than I've ever been, and I have a lot of time on my hands. How can I maximize my training amount without over training?

    Based on what I know about the symptoms of overtraining, I don't think I have ever overtrained in the past. However, that has made me start to wonder as well: If you have never overtrained before, how do you know what your body limits really are for how often you can train?

    I did read somewhere in the RR FAQ, "Can I do this routine every day? No." That said, I keep wondering how to get the most out of this extra motivation I'm feeling. On off days, is there something I can be doing to progress on my goals faster.

    Another thing I've been wondering: is 36 hours of recovery enough? Has anybody tried a 36 hour full body routine instead of every other day (8:00 AM workout day 1, 8:00 PM workout on day 2, 8:00 AM workout on day 4, etc)?
