| Do i have to do scapula pulls if i can already do 5 pull ups? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 04:08 AM PDT I skipped the early progressions like scapula pulls and my support holds are only 45 seconds however i can do 5 dips. Should i go back progressions? [link] [comments] |
| I've been doing the RR ROUTINE for 13 weeks now, should I change? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:14 AM PDT Hi all, I've been doing the Recommended Reddit routine on the caliverse app on hard for 13 weeks now. The routine is starting to get a bit easy but I'm still pushing myself to failure and only take 30 seconds breaks between exercises to keep my heart rate up but so I'm still able achieve good form and Max reps. And can do 3 setsx 10-12 pullups but only around 3x 6 ring dips. My muscle mass is going up and my fat is going down. My question is, should I add a weighted vest or should I change up my routine?

| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:24 AM PDT Hi everyone ! I started Calisthenics 2.5 years ago. I transitioned after powerlifting for close to 3 years, right after my last PL meet I was able to get a 180kg Squat , 105 kg Bench , 200kg Deadlift @ 82.5kg and I placed 15/16th place ( Ouch ) After that I decided to transition to calisthenics , I absolutely loved it ... until I busted my elbows from Ring muscle ups a year ago ( and I'm still recovering ) Since I've busted my elbows I couldn't do 1 push ups/pull ups for close to a year now ( I stopped completely 8 months back and to be honest it's barely getting better ) And since I can't do so many strength based exercises I've decided to move my attention to mobility work. Truth to be told it's extremely painful to put my skill work aside ( Front Lever , muscle ups , planche work ) for a year due to injuries... but then again progress is still progress So with that said I took a year to really work on my mobility and flexibility , in particular my bridge , pancake and pikes. So here's my progress video https://www.instagram.com/p/CCQFJZLnVBg/ For those of you that have an injuries , remember it's part of the process and you can always work on other aspects of fitness

| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 08:03 AM PDT Feel super stuck, I do the routine every day but I can't seem to go further than 10. I don't diet, is this the reason? I'd like to think I can get away with eating anything if I work hard enough, but maybe the truth isn't so convenient. I'd like to be able to do 20 ( a personal goal of mine ) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:50 AM PDT Which is better to calisthenics? I wanna buy bands to use them for pull up and ring dips, but i dont know what band i have to buy. There are some advantage to use loop band instead of tube band? [link] [comments] |
| How much of your body weight are you pulling with inverted rows? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:16 PM PDT I place my feet on a surface that's between 1-2 feet off the ground as I'm doing them. [link] [comments] |
| How to gain Muscles naturally? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:13 PM PDT The best way to gain muscle is an age old question that may never be answered in any one way by any one person! The most important thing to understand for gaining muscle is the fundamentals; and if these are in place then you give yourself the best opportunity possible to maximize muscle gains. So what are these fundamentals?
This could not be more important. You will not make muscle gains unless you are working out regularly and breaking those muscle fibers for regrowth. You can train in a variety of sports for weights from powerlifting, weightlifting, cross fit and bodybuilding. All build muscle, but the most effective will always be bodybuilding as it applies the most pressure on the body to grow
You have heard it before 'you are what you eat'. Very true and very reflective in everyone you will meet in life and none more so than those with huge muscles! There are methods to grow whatever the underlying diet style is; keto, high carb, high protein, fasting and so on. The most important thing is staying in a caloric surplus and ensuring sufficient protein is in your diet.
A good nights sleep is critical in growing; mainly because this is when you heal, recover and balance your hormones.
Without question, supplements help to boost your overall health and there are plenty of supplements out there to take your training, and ultimately your muscle gains to the next level. You have your bread and butter supplements like vitamins, branch chain amino acids, omega 3's, minerals and so on. These are great for ensuring you are getting what you need when diet cannot fulfil all your needs. But everyone needs a bit more from the herbs that mother nature made available to humanity! When you are working out regularly and touching athlete level commitments, sometimes you need a bit more. If you are not active, sometimes you need something more to kickstart your body into the right gear; ready to make gains. Either way, there are hundreds of herbs out there proven to have positive benefits on the body from muscle stimulants, hormone regulators, energy boosters, recovery aids and so on. You can find supplements and herbs as a standalone or sometimes in a ready made formula; designed get you optimum results. [link] [comments] |
| Should you aim to have your arms straight when doing false grip ring curls? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:05 PM PDT A while back, many recommended to do the ring biceps curls with a false grip to target the biceps more, and I tried it out and they indeed felt a lot more activated this way. The only thing is that I can't really straighten my arms and thus the ROM is pretty small compared to what you get not using a false grip. Should I aim to being able to have my arms straight, or is it inevitable to have them bent? [link] [comments] |

| Does 5-minutes AT HOME workout from youtube actually work? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:45 AM PDT I was just wandering if these 5-minute workout work (ex: 5 minutes AT HOME shoulder workout and 5 minutes AT HOME forearm workout) cuz I plan on doing this everyday for 30 days [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:44 AM PDT Im a pretty big guy, im 6'2 92kg (202lb) 22%bodyfat, I used to train in a gym a few years ago so I have a little bit of muscle. Ive been doing bodyweight training for about 5 to 6 month, lost 15kg (33lb) so Ill say its doing well for me. It was a real struggle at the begining, I assume because of the extra weight. I could only do 5 pushups, not to talk about dips and pull ups. Now I can do pushups just fine, in more that one way, I can do 8 dips, and just a few days ago I was able to do my first ever half-ass pullup (I call that to going from a dead hang to getting the top of my head over the bar) its still a struggle, but im getting better at it, and as I am getting better I am getting more confident to start doing other exercises wich leads me to a few questions, and id love if you guys could answer.
Tldr: im fat, losing weight and adding bodyweight training, have some questions. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:36 AM PDT Hi all, I posted a 4 month progress update recently on the sub and I was thrilled to get so many helpful responses. I'm super pleased to say that I reached my weight loss goal of 140lbs and now I'm at that fateful question - to continue to cut, or bulk?! Hoping that I can continue to get some pointers and honest feedback on my progress so far. So just an update on stats - I'm 27/M/5'5"/140lbs Starting Weight: ~185lbs January '20 Current Weight: 140lbs Jul '20 Exercise Routine I've updated my routine based on tips from the community, and upped my reps too!
I've been continuing doing this routine every other day. My progression is definitely still getting better in pretty much every exercise, and I'm finding that I'm able to maintain more form more effectively. My rest time is slightly longer now, but usually my workouts take 1hr 15 to 1hr 30 depending on my breaks. I still regularly do gentle cardio, or brisk dog walking every day (around 30 mins/2 mi). Diet I've upped my calories to 2100 calorie a day diet to get closer to my maintenance, consisting of simple, high protein food wherever possible. I've been having a protein shake every day (one portion with milk) just to ensure that I get enough protein, but otherwise my diet generally consists of something similar to:
I try to avoid sweet snacks or high calorie drinks, and I've completely cut-out alcohol so far. I track my calories and nutrients every day and generally get around 160-170g of protein in a day. The rest of my macros are focused on high carb (200g +) but low fat. (~40/25/35% Carb/Fat/Protein) Plan moving forward Now here's the thing - I have no idea! Part of me wants to keep cutting, so I can see my abs more clearly. The other part of me wants to get bigger, and then cut again so I have more chance of seeing the hard work. I've been left with loose skin around my stomach, and if I stretch it down I can see abs more clearly - so not sure if my expectations are unrealistic. I expect my BF% is somewhere between 15% and 18%, so perhaps it would pay to get leaner, but then I am also slightly worried about losing strength, or just looking skinny! I'm going to try working on more skill exercises - pistol squats are still proving tricky, but hoping if I keep trying the progressions I can get them into my routine. Thankyou for all the helpful support so far! [link] [comments] |
| Are there alternatives to push ups for someone with Diastasis Recti? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:17 AM PDT A middle aged neighbor of mine had asked for my help to lose weight. I look to use the recommended routine but I found a problem in the push ups being that it puts strain on the abdominal separation. Are there alternatives to push ups outside of dips that I could use. [link] [comments] |
| Plantar fasiciitis from shrimp squating in running shoes. Want to know if this is possible Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:14 AM PDT Lately I been doing shrimp squat in my running shoes and started to feel what the internet seem to describe as plantar fasiciitis. I doing the recommended routine didn't think about this cause I was focusing more on dips and pull-ups. I am not here for medical advice but more to confirm my suspection. Sorry if I am breaking any rules [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 11:04 AM PDT Should i train Dragon flag? Will it help Me in front lever training? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 04:59 AM PDT Hi everyone! How do i transition to straddle planche from tuck planche? Whenever i try to extend my legs I lose strength for some reason. (I can hold my tuck planche for 10 sec now aswell as my L sit.) Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:22 AM PDT Hey guys, Beginner Calisthenics member here I recently got a pair of gymnastic rings and started doing a full body workout 2 times a week and a chest workout in between those 2 full body ones. I usually have about 6 exercises per workout For chest I have - Ring Dips - Diamond Pushup - Ring Pushup - Slow Pushup (20 second down - 20 seconds up) - Inclined Pushup And before then workout I have skill training, Handstand hold Anyway so I used to do about 6 sets per workout, but recently I saw a decrease in the number of sets I can do I reach failure quite fast, especially on chest day, I can barely do the 4th set. Maybe is it because I don't wait so long between exercises since my endurance increased and I don't always have to catch my breath? Also how many sets should I do generally? Are 6 alright or should I do 4-5? Thank you for your help! [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone here read basic training by hershel walker, basuc breakdown of his workouts? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:18 AM PDT I know he does 750 to 1000 push ups a day but I'd still love to see a hershel walker workout drom that book on paper [link] [comments] |
| Please does anyone know the best shoulder exercices in Calisthenics ? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:06 AM PDT |
| Plateaued in pull ups (and overall back development) Posted: 05 Jul 2020 01:46 AM PDT Hey this is my first post here. So when i started training properly and seriously (about a year ago) I couldn't do a single pull up and was overweight. With hard work I've brought that number up to 10 when I'm fully rested and now am somewhat lean. I don't know what came in to me, but a couple of weeks ago I tried to experiment with using a resistance band. My theory was, with more reps and better controlled form, my training would be more effective (I thought it did cause the pump felt better). Boy was I wrong, fast forward 2 weeks, I couldn't even hit 8 in my first set and could only do 4 in my last set. Since then I went back to my old training style. It's been over 2 weeks and i still have trouble hitting more than 8 reps, not to mention I haven't noticed even a little improvement in my back development. Should I just give it time or is the problem with my routine? What do you think could be the issue? My Pull Day Workout: 4x6 Pull Ups 4x6 Chin Ups 4x10-12 Horizontal Rows 3 sets of Curls (failure) Any helpful criticism towards my routine is greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 09:17 AM PDT Hello fit people, I started doing some exercise about 6-7 months ago, and I noticed pretty quickly that my right arm is a little stronger than my left arm. I lurked a bit and the general consensus seems to be that it's ok, most people are uneven and etc. Now I noticed most of these comments are about aesthetics, and I'm getting a little worried. When I give "my all" on a chin up I feel the right arm pulling more, sometimes even getting my right side of the body a little "ahead" of the left. Do you know something that deters this? Perhaps another kind of exercise... Or maybe I shouldn't give it "my all" since my all for the right arm means something stronger than what I can to with the left arm. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 08:21 AM PDT hi i'm 16 and "skinny fat" i've been doing calisthenics and weight training for 2 months and have built a lot of muscle since i have started. i'm 5"2-5"4 and 50kg i have built a lot of muscle in all areas but haven't lost my belly fat yet how do i go about this, do i keep trying to bulk up or do i cut because i am still pretty underweight but have put on a lot of muscle and weight since i started any help would be appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 07:21 AM PDT Doing my front lever progression I'm at a tucked lever, but I find that it's my back that's lacking strength and what gives out first not my abs, and skin the can seems to be a mostly back exercise as well, specifically lats. Does the front lever work the back for than abs? I always thought it was an ab intensive skill [link] [comments] |
