| Progress post - 1,5 year skill transformation Posted: 04 Jul 2020 08:16 AM PDT Around 1,5 years I probably made some of the best changes in my life. Back In the day, I was quite a boring boy. I played a lot of video games and I needed a healthy hobby. One day I saw on youtube these insane strong calisthenics athletes, the skills like the planche and front lever were something that really impressed me. Especially planche push-ups. This is where my passion for calisthenics had started. So I decided to go for it. I trained (almost) every day for at least 1 hour and I said to myself that I was not gonna stop till I achieved all the advanced skills of calisthenics. I became obsessed with calisthenics. Still, after 1,5 years of training, I work out every single day and I am not planning to stop. I am proud, but still not satisfied Things I learned and achieved in the past 1,5 years Discipline, achieving hard skills is a long road. Consistency is key. I learned to have a better discipline because of calisthenics. This is also helpful in many other aspects of my life. Patience and enjoying the journey, Like I said before it is a long road. It takes a lot of time if you want to achieve the skills you want. You will have to deal with failure and there will be times that you won't see any progression at all. But you gotta keep the focus and enjoy every moment of it. It is not about the destiny it is all about the journey! Okay now the skills I achieved I have made a youtube video of my 1,5 skill progression but here is a quick summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNuthEQe3uc (hope you enjoy it) handstand muscle-ups Full planche straddle planche pushups front lever front lever pull-ups 90-degree pushups Impossible dip V-sit New goals planche push ups one arm back lever maltease better frontlever pull ups [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:15 AM PDT Hi - I have tried a few various methods (52-year old woman for reference). I can do 4 really good form pull-ups but want to get beyond that. If I do 4, for the rest of the day, by reps are limited to 1-2, 3 if I am lucky. Should I continue on that path or would it be more effective to do more reps but with some assistance (say a band of some type). [link] [comments] |

| Calisthenics athletes who work hard labour jobs. How do you do it? Posted: 04 Jul 2020 10:23 AM PDT I've been making a huge amount of progress with calisthenics in the last year and a half, lost 30-40 lbs and honestly just turned my health around. It's not an exaggeration to say that the workouts have become a huge part of my weekly routine. However I started working construction 4 days ago and I just haven't been able to after shift, and I'm starting to get worried that I may just not be able to manage both. The fatigued muscles are something I feel like I could push through and work around by reducing volume and workout intensity etc. but what is doing me in is my feet. After shift everyday I have swollen, stiff feet that are just unfeasible to run on, if I'm being honest I can hardly stay standing for very long. Those of you experienced in jobs like construction that require you to stay standing and moving all day, how do I work around these swollen feet? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:48 AM PDT Me and some friends are planning on doing periodic Murph challenges together. We're wanting to mix it up with location, but the pull-up bar is a limited factor. Any portably pull-up solution recommendations? (Either pre-setup or DIY) Edit: clarification - portable outdoor pull-up bar [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 12:22 PM PDT I have been considering a dip station to augment the pull-up bar I built on my deck since the kitchen counter just doesn't cut it anymore (I feel like it significantly impacts my form and makes weighted dips dangerous). Now I'm thinking gymnastics rings might be a better choice since they can not only replace a dip station, but make weighted pull-ups more difficult as well. Does this seem like the right choice?

| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 12:15 PM PDT Hello, just started about a month ago. I am ~5'8" and 155 lbs with ~18% body fat (skinny fat I think), since I lost ~50 lbs over the last 7 months, should I keep doing that while working out or should I maintain a bit? I am keeping ~0.8g/lb protein while cutting [link] [comments] |
| When to change training plan and how to know if I'm building muscle? Posted: 03 Jul 2020 11:44 PM PDT I'm on the heavier side of normal weight range and don't plan to get lean but want to gain as muscle mass as possible. My question is how would I know if I'm gaining muscle because of being heavy and wouldn't the muscle I gained just replace the fat? As I said I don't plan to get lean and want to maintain my current weight by eating at maintenance. Also I heard strength gains = muscle hypertrophy so should I change training plan when i hit strength plateau? [link] [comments] |
| I wasnt even training for the muscle up and got 6 in a row Posted: 04 Jul 2020 12:07 PM PDT I was doing a lot of weighted pull ups in the last month and a half and I just tried muscle ups and I did 6 in a row. Im going to start doing more and more and Im going to incorporate more calisthenics to learn the static holds [link] [comments] |
| Pushing strength rehab and planche goal Posted: 04 Jul 2020 12:02 PM PDT Hi everybody, first of all excuse my English. I'd like to ask you guys for a little knowledge is this subject. A few moths ago I injured my left shoulder because I was trying to do exercises my body wasn't prepared for. I always had good pulling strength but not do good pushing and I was trying to do handstand push ups with very bad form. Right now I'm mostly recovered, I have like 5 pull ups with 20kgs and a 6 second good form half lay front lever. But push up positions still feels really weak to me, specially in my shoulders. Currently I'm doing scapular training but i don't know how to gain some push strength to start training for planche. TLDR: I'm starting training push exercises from zero, what do you guys recommend?

| One knee makes a sound while attempting third-world squat Posted: 04 Jul 2020 11:41 AM PDT I find that each time I lower into the third-world squat, one of my knee will make a creaking sound one my thighs pass parallel to the floor. For the first few days I did this, my knee made no such sound. So far I have no pain at all but I am worried about this noise. Does it mean I should back off or is there nothing to worry about?

| There's 1 thing that discourages me from running and i have no idea how to fix it.. Posted: 04 Jul 2020 07:47 AM PDT So when running nothing is holding me back, my body doesn't get tired, my lungs feel fine, it's all good... But.. My throat feels like someone is showing knives down it... it's extremely painful and i have no idea how to fix it if it's even possible, searching around it feels like almost noone has this problem, people just post about their lungs hurting... I have to run in extremely hot climates to not feel this throat burn and since i live in Sweden that's pretty much impossible except for like one month a year. It's the only thing holding me back, my legs don't get sore, my lungs feel fine but my throat starts to feel this searing pain really quick when running and it makes me stop or i feel absolute excruciating pain... Is this just because of the cold air? if so is there any way for me to fix it? except moving to a country where it's really hot? I try to jogg around 3 times a week because if i run i'll just stop because of the pain. I don't smoke, i have a healthy BMI and i drink a lot of water and i'm very aware of my posture when running to not restrict my breathing. I've tried breathing through my nose to get warmer air but when i run it gets really stuffy with snot quick and it's not really an option since i don't get enough oxygen through it. TLDR; When running nothing is stopping me except my throat hurting so bad it feels like someone is showing knives down it [link] [comments] |
| Is it okay to bend my legs when doing Wide Rows? Posted: 04 Jul 2020 01:48 AM PDT In videos, I have seen everyone who does this exercise completely stretches their legs. However, the thing is that in the place I do them I don't have space to completely stretch my legs(Unfortunately, they are not short) so I can only bend them and then doing the exercise normally. Is it okay to do this? Will it hurt the effectiveness of the exercise? [link] [comments] |
| Ab activation only seems to happen when my feet are stablized Posted: 04 Jul 2020 11:31 AM PDT Why ? Lol. I cant seem to feel my abs or core or activate it unless my feet have something to push against or stabilize them. Is this a sign of some sort of imbalance ? [link] [comments] |
| How to adjust my routine around tendonitis? Posted: 04 Jul 2020 02:20 AM PDT About two years ago I started getting elbow and shoulder pain. It turned out to be tendonitis, probably because I overtrained. I started doing exercises to mend the tendonitis (mobility/stretching) and took some weeks off. Anyways it didn't heal still, so I went to the doctor and they basically told me that I should stop exercising and that's it. I took a two month break and kept doing stretches. First week after the break the pain came back again. I decided to take a break for a whole year. In the meantime I went to the doctor again and they gave me exercises which I did during my big break. Right now is my first week of exercising and I started with very light exercises (way below my strength level) and the pain is back again. I am not asking for medical advice, but I would like to know how to adjust my routine to combat the pain? It hurts regardless of what exercise I do so there's no point in trying variations. Should I reduce volume? Am I missing something obvious I should do? Give up altogether? Any help is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 10:23 AM PDT 165lb 19M here, I deal with chronic nerve pain in my left hand (and partially my right). Working out in any capacity was a hard no due to the pain meds I was on but surgery about a year ago finally has be kind of back on my feet and off most of my meds, any advice on getting started when pressure/strain on my left hand can be extremely painful? I'm done letting my disability define me, but I want to be safe. Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 10:16 AM PDT Can anyone give me some tips on how to lose man boobs? What I should eat, exercises to do, will running help? It's always been one of my biggest insecurities [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:51 AM PDT So I have started doing pullups with wrist wraps (not straps, extra wrist support). This has helped prevent my elbow from flaring up while doing so. Is this extra support on my wrist a good thing for now (I do need to build up wrist strength). Or am I hiding a poor piece of form that I shouldn't with this. I did play tennis a lot, when I was younger and did have some elbow pain from that. [link] [comments] |
| I feel sore after nearly every workout. Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:44 AM PDT For years, after any workout where I go full out with many exercises to failure I will get muscle soreness. This usually happens the day after and lasts for a few days. I googled it and the internet said delayed onset muscle soreness occurs normally when you change exercises, but I get it after the dame workout for months. Athlean x also said that soreness can lead to growth but not always. I'm just looking for alternative opinions, because for me if I don't feel soreness I feel as if I didn't workout as well given I get it when I do a full workout every time, but not if I maybe skip a few sets at the end. Can muscle growth happen without any soreness? Can I workout with soreness (I avoid that muscle until it isn't sore)? Is it normal to get it every time? I am very ignorant on this matter so any advice is appreciated. Edit: if it helps, I tend to do 4-5 exercises for major muscles groups, 3 or 4 sets, 12 reps or failure. [link] [comments] |
| Is lactic acid bad for your muscles? Posted: 04 Jul 2020 09:33 AM PDT Some personal trainer who i dont think is that knowledgeable was claiming lactic acid is bad for your muscles. Personally if your body is making it then its a natural byproduct that causes no harm to the body. Does lactic acid cause any harm? [link] [comments] |
