| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 07:49 AM PDT Starting stats: 29 male 185cm 107kg 6 month stats: 95kg Calories: 1500, cut all drinks but water and was a big diet change by substitution of unhealthy foods. Photos: https://imgur.com/gallery/fAmMWdQ Details: Worked my way up to doing move phase 3. I have slacked off on it in the final month though but it's because I'm fit enough to get back into skating again (one of the reasons I wanted to get back in shape), so I've been doing that 3 nights a week instead for a while. Future: I need to find a way to fit both skating and working out in and use my hobby as cardio, to get to where I would like to be. [link] [comments] |
| Exactly 1 year apart progress My Rant on body weight fitness Posted: 23 Jun 2020 11:47 AM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/4TRuh4P This is my progress exactly 1 year apart from each other from when I started working out to right now A few feats of strength I've achieved within calisthenics in a year are- HSPU, 90 degree HSPU, Straddle Planche, Back Lever, L sit, Muscle Up, Pistol Squat, One handed Push-up, Human Flag, and I'm currently working on my front lever, the full planche, one handed pull-up, and hefesto curls I've been working out from the start with calisthenics and weight lifting, I'm thinking of switching completely to calisthenics because of how much I enjoy it, calisthenics really humbles you and makes you grow as a person, did to me at least. aesthetics don't really matter but they are definitely a part of working out, what matters is that you are healthy and happy calisthenics definitely gives me both of these and has shown me role models it has made my life better. If you're sad rep it out, if you're happy rep it out, if you're bored rep it out, and when it starts to hurt REP IT OUT My workout; I switch it up ALOT because theirs a million ways of working out with calisthenics but it has always consisted of "The Foundation" and static training and whatever else I find fun! Remember to always tailor your workout towards your goals right now I'm doing the foundation exercises and incorporating FL HSPU BL and Planche training in it My diet; I lost 30+ lbs of fat, I tried fasting, worked tremendously but I couldn't maintain it this helped me loose ~ 15 pounds I don't fast anymore unless I need to , then completely not eating fast food helped me drop more, anything I ate at home was cheaper and better, I've started not to enjoy fast food, yes it taste good for 5 minutes and then you feel guilty because you just ate shit, when I go out I go for the healthiest but tastiest option like chicken sandwiches, I never buy salads when going out cuz going to a McDonald's for a salad is like going to a hooker for a hug. Anyways let's not use diet anymore because it's even in the name it DIE-s , my nutrition plan is basically the Greg doucette plan (VOLUME EATING)- Wraps, Salads, Popcorn, IceCream, Oatmeal (my absolute favorite food), lava cakes, protein bars, as a picky eater for like 10+ years this nutrition plan is the best. Intuitive eating is a nono Mindful eating is a yes yes remember the most important thing is your caloric intake and protein get protein in every meal if you can. Why I began working out; Anime inspired me every single anime character that I have admired does some sort of calisthenics and you're the hero of your own story so why not become strong? I've began to believe that calisthenics is true strength... besides if you can't lift up your own body why should you start lifting iron? But in all seriousness anime and me just wanting to not feel like shit is what inspired me to do something Tips to beginners: start before it's too late, what I mean is start before your health is truly at risk, obesity kills. Another tip Do what you enjoy maybe it's CrossFit, maybe weights, or like me calisthenics do something that doesn't feel like a workout something you enjoy! Another tip don't fuck with your legs just do normal squats (this may be controversial but hear me out) do one or two SAFE exercises that hit your entire lower body, don't do any pistol squats or sissy squats because your knees are at risk, blah if you use proper form blah I would personally say not worth it even with proper form you want to keep your knees trust me on this one. Last but not least don't neglect cardio the heart is the most important muscle, do it at-least twice a week for like 15 minutes [link] [comments] |
| Which L-Sit is the best - rings or floor execution? Posted: 23 Jun 2020 05:07 AM PDT Hey guys, I got a question about what kind of L-Sit hold would work the muscles the most; which is the best to perform? Currently I'm at a point where I can perform 5x30sec. reps with the L-Sit (normal) on the floor, but I recently started training my body by using rings and I'm wondering if I should continue to do them on the floor or if I should start doing them on the rings? Should I just do it on which I can hold it the longest to get the most time under tension? Is there a difference in intensity between them? I'm able to do 3x30sec. RTO Support Holds on rings (while shaking though :P) so I'm sure I'll manage the L-Sits on rings aswell and I'm confident that I'm executing the proper form from all the ground training. I tried searching for similar posts but all I found was questions related to paralettes so I hope I'm not posting a duplicate question. Thanks so much, love this subreddit :-) [link] [comments] |

| what to learn after roundoff, cartwheel and hanstand Posted: 23 Jun 2020 12:03 PM PDT is it handspring? i am comfortable with those 3 moves [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jun 2020 08:14 AM PDT After very inconsistent exercise, I've started to incorporate a basic but consistent exercise routine into my day. Every morning, I do 15 reps and 4 sets of push ups, sit ups and squats. I plan to increase intensity, reps, sets and add exercises as I progress. The problem is that I'm usually winded by the third set and it's a struggle to finish the routine. As a kid, I was constantly exposed to secondhand smoke and dust, and was diagnosed with sports-induced asthma. That being said, I'm more than ready to increase intensity but I can't due to my breathing problems. Is this something I can solve by building my cardiovascular health? I go road and mountain biking often and I go tens of miles until my muscles call the shots rather than my breathing, so I don't completely understand what's at play here. A bandaid fix I'm considering is splitting the exercise across the day, but once I go back to full time work and face-to-face school, there's a snowball's chance in hell of that working out time-wise. What do you think? Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for suggestions for low intensity long holds? Posted: 22 Jun 2020 08:43 PM PDT I have been wondering if I can utilize my TV and phone time a bit more effectively. I am not looking to substitute my regular workout. For instance I can stand on one leg, knee plank, bridge or sit in various poses like child pose etc. anything that is low intensity and can be hold for extended periods of time. Are there any recommendation from the community? [link] [comments] |
| The Recommended Routine and Cardio Endurance Posted: 22 Jun 2020 08:33 PM PDT I've decided I need to start the Recommended Routine. I also am wanting to figure out how to gear my week's worth of workouts to where I'm improving my cardiovascular endurance. I've been researching a bit about how to use strength training as your cardio by working in circuits and keeping moving from one exercise to the next in order to elevate my heart rate and sustain it for the duration of the workout. I'd like to do this as opposed to the more traditional way of adding a distance run or cycling for cardio. It seems that the paired exercises really seem to suit themselves a little better to circuit style training than the exercises done in 3 sets. Anyone have any good input on how to maybe modify the Recommended Routine to make it more like a HIIT workout? [link] [comments] |
| hey how do you make your workout feel like a more natural part of your routine? Posted: 21 Jun 2020 12:53 PM PDT I struggle with discipline, I can keep up with a solid routine (that's working out some muscle group every day) for about a month or two before I start to lose my focus and eventually stop in favour of other day to day activities, I have the desire to build muscle and work on my cardio, but I don't know if it's just lack of motivation or not having a specific goal in mind, but I just can't seem to hold it any longer than that I hope it helps you [link] [comments] |
| thinking of getting a pull up bar Posted: 20 Jun 2020 08:42 PM PDT i really enjoy the work done on multiple muscles per rep, i dont know but it gives me more satisfaction of getting gains from pulling my own bodyweight up and down than curls. should i get one and switch from dumbbells?

| Are pyramid sets effective for more advanced exercises, like planche presses? Posted: 22 Jun 2020 05:12 AM PDT My goal is to increase my reps of straddle planche presses. I can currently do about 5-6 in a row, without ever coming down from a handstand, or 11 by coming down after each press and skipping the negative. I mostly train the latter. Would it be more effective to start using pyramid sets instead of always doing 3 sets of x reps? Or are pyramid sets only good for more "basic" exercises, like dips, pull ups and push ups?

| What does a good deload program look like with the RR? Posted: 22 Jun 2020 01:13 AM PDT I moved over to the RR from weightlifting 3 months ago due to Covid measures, so I'm firmly within the intermediate range but not far along enough to have much space to work backwards with my progressions. I've taken a look at similar posts here from the past couple of years and people seem to have mixed opinions on sets/reps, so I'm wondering if anyone has anything more concrete to take a look at. I plan to deload mainly because my recovery time has slowly caught up to me (I'm also on a cut) and I thought it'd be good to take a few steps back and work my way back up. No injuries or any other serious conditions. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jun 2020 02:31 PM PDT 26 years old, male, 5 10', 152 pounds -> 157 pounds (weight gain in May -> June when I "fixed" my diet to eat a surplus) I'll be honest - I'm fairly frustrated y'all - be as blunt & critical as you like in the mission towards me not sucking haha While I've certainly improved "strength" wise (I went from just doing scapular pulls in the first weeks to now doing 3x8 pull ups and can pop through various diamond pushup progressions) my aesthetics are flat or worse, and ultimately I'm doing this for the aesthetics more than anything else. Didn't start photo tracking till 1 month in! April 25th (1 month in - RR + run 2-3 miles every day*)* May 25th (2 months in - shit I'm running way too much - turning into a runners body! stop running/ eat moar) June 21st (k so I gained weight, but def not sexier hahah) really hate those love handles haha Despite the permanent bellyfat, eating enough is historically a major problem for me - but I've really followed the traditional advice for the past 1 month (Eating 300-500 above TDEE & .8g protien/lb). My sleeping is probably below average. Fitbit snapshots w/ below: https://imgur.com/a/dXfw5pI weight change: (151ish - 157ish over the last month) Example sleep week: Example eating day: 62% carbs, 10% fat, 28% protein (this is a particularly good day though) *Example daily calorie burns:*gray is burn; orange is consume P.S: For additional context I've gone through cycles of "get fit!" before and usually reach some mediocre/no result phase like this and conclude it isn't worth it. (Did "crossfit" for year, did StrongLifts consistently for about 3-4 months). So either I consistently am not trying hard enough or I'm genetically kinda fucked on gaining muscle mass (South Asian) - if former, very down to work out harder if pointed in a direction, if latter any advice from someone that is also a hardgainer may be good [link] [comments] |
| First time working out in a long time, how to loosen my hip flexors? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 08:19 PM PDT 37 year old guy here. I played baseball in high school but 20 years of sedentary living have done a number on me. I can walk for miles but I can't jog or run at all. My hip areas feel so tight I can't even cross my leg when I sit. My right hip pops too. A couple years ago was the last time I tried to run, during a work softball game. My hips hurt like crazy for days. Granted I've also been overweight for 20 years so I'm trying to work on that too. [link] [comments] |
