| Training has become one of the things i care the most about in my life, and now i need your help Posted: 09 Jul 2020 06:56 PM PDT Hi guys, I've been following this sub's recommended routine since 2 months now (without pull ups and dips but i'm going to add them in starting from their easiest progressions from my next workout). I'm taking a break this week because i need a moment to collect my thoughts and clear my mind. Hope this post is going to help me go in this direction. I'm in my early 20s, your average tall and skinny guy, in case this is important info. Training has really become one of the things i care the most about in my life. Training seems to me a freeing experience, going beyond your limits and unlocking your potential... I have put such high hopes in training because i have this belief that it's going to help me in freeing and finding myself...i don't know if it makes sense to you, but whatever. In this moment of my life i have a lot of time in my hands, and i want to make the most out it. From my understanding, strength, mobility and flexibility are the keys to unlocking your body. I feel the RR is just a piece of the puzzle. I've been reading a lot, watching lots of videos, making a lot of researches. This amazing subreddit, u/antranik, u/captain_nachos, and the youtube channel FitnessFAQS have been my main resources (I try to learn from the best haha.). This article by u/captain_nachos, really made me think. These are the parts i find very interesting
and
One idea i had was to do the RR as strength work, and on off days u/captain_nachos overhead mobility for upper body, FitnessFaqs squat mobility for lower body and Phrakture's Starting Stretching for general body flexibility/mobility. And either jumping rope or running for cardio. This seemed to me a pretty comprehensive, well-thought and good plan.
Do you think the same? Because, keeping in mind what i read in the article, i started having some doubts and i started making some researches. The thing is that to me it seems some parts of the body seem to be neglected and i was wondering if that isn't a bad thing and if something should be done for them? Stuff like
And I'm more than probably forgetting something else. An example to make you understand what i'm talking about: for the lower body you stretch/mobilize the hips and work on dorsiflexion (calves and ankles stretching/mobility) to improve your lower body mobility (for example, for the squat). But then shouldn't you also strengthen the hips, ankles/feet, calves and shins to maintain everything stable and healthy? Also plantar flexion and the achilles. Or for shoulders: i made this post some days ago, unfortunately the few answers didn't clear my doubts. Or again, biceps: i've read much stuff about them. Some said train them only if your goal is bigger biceps, others said they're important to avoid/treat injuries/imbalances/tendinitis; others about them being important for conditioning (elbows i think); others something about them being important for bicep/tricep/forearm/elbow health, others again something about prehab... And so on. For now the only thing i've been doing is the RR, but as i said i feel that's just one piece of the puzzle. I understand the RR is the way it is for a reason, it's a general beginner routine. I'm just trying to learn more about how to train smarter. I was wondering if any type of strengthening, stretching/mobility, prehab, conditioning, stabilisation work etc etc needs to be added to make a good training plan. I know this is a long-ass post and i fear that its length plus the amount of my ignorance is gonna make people skip this, but let's see. I'm just trying to learn. [link] [comments] |

| Budget weighted Calisthenics for home/outdoor gym. Posted: 10 Jul 2020 11:22 AM PDT If you want to incorporate more weighted versions of the basics into your routine, but don't have access to plates or a dipping belt, your everyday water bottle and an old leather belt will achieve just as much. I'm using a 5 litre bottle in the clip included and it's more than enough for me to work within the 6-10 rep range right now when using controlled tempo and honest form. When I want to progress, I can just buy another 5 litre bottle. This will allow you to progressively overload your dips and chins atleast to 20KG before it might get semi awkward with the water bottles, which should carry me through atleast 2-3 months of training. Hope it helps someone! PS- you could of course use a backpack also, but this just feels better. [link] [comments] |
| Stretching after training may damage the muscles Posted: 10 Jul 2020 07:56 AM PDT "In the case of excercises that do considerable damage to the muscles, such as very hard resistance excercises, do stretches several hours later. Stretching during the cuts phase of muscle damage would compound the damage. Even statixnstrerxhing can put enough stress in the muscle fibers to damage them" Its a quote from the book "Stretching Scientifically: a guide to flexibility training" by Thomas Karz. Any thoughts about that? What do y'all do? I always stretch hard after my strenght work out. Keep strong [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2020 01:57 AM PDT There are things equal or more important than muscles and it is to sharpen your senses if you want to be the best version of yourself, these are also part of the body and should not be neglected, I include in my training reaction balls for my reflexes, so I train my eyesight and my reaction capacity, when dodging and catching them, also my ear when I meditate I concentrate on all the sounds and I realize that when I don't concentrate there are only about 4 sounds and then I realize that when I concentrate I count 30 Different sounds, I also know how to identify certain chemicals or poisonous substances by smell, because my father and grandfather used to work with many chemicals,I always look for ways to train them there are no excuses, they are indispensable and sadly never trained. The senses tend to be forgotten they are also part of the body and must be trained. Be the best version of you. pdst:I don't know much English, so I'm sorry if I made a misspelling.

| 5 Month Progress (Recommended Routine) Posted: 10 Jul 2020 01:28 AM PDT 21, 170cm, 65kg (I didn't exactly know how to take pictures before, also the in the first pictures I've already lost a little weight since starting) Background Around February I weighed like 73kg at 5'7(170cm) and felt like shit so decided to finally get into this seriously. I am now down to 64/65 which is my goal weight but there's still some fat left. I have never really worked out before just played basketball. I followed the Recommended routine for about 4 months keeping (my diet in check ofc) however I felt like the volume wasn't enough and decided to go for a split routine and save some time as well. Here's What I'm following now: Upper Body 5x5 Chinups(I max at 6 reps) 7x3 weighted Pushups + 10x2 regular 7x5 dips 7x3 weighted Rows + 10x2 Regular 10x5 Bicep curls (20lb bag) Legs Plyometric 3 sets each 10 reps Lunge Jump Broad Jump Knee Tuck Jump Box Jump 10x5 single leg squats from an elevated surface 7x5 Nordic Curls (almost full extension but not quite there yet) Core 8x5 Reverse Hyper extensions 8x5 windshield wipers (on the Floor) 8x5 Leg raises I decide reps by doing one less than my max. Try to keep perfect form and with full intensity. Rest between sets is 2 Min and do exercises in pairs, Like chin ups and push-ups make one pair and dips and rows the other. I do upper body then, legs and abs next day and then a day off (and then repeat.) I play basketball for an hour after this ending in a few sprints for 10-15 minutes. (Suicide runs and defensive slides) Diet I had stuck to a 1500-1600 calorie diet for the most part and having a few load days when I felt really really tired. I am now upping the diet to around 1800-2000 mostly cause I feel exhausted and tired all the time even though Im getting like 8-9 Hours of sleep every night. I get like 70g of protein at the lowest but usually around 85g A Few Questions My goal is to be in shape for basketball mostly but also want to build strength and not look like a scrawny little dude.
Thanks in advance and I apologize for the really really long post. Progress Stats 3x3 assisted chinups -> 5x5 with good form 5 pushups -> 12 Inclined rows -> almost horizontal 12 Normal Squats -> single leg weighted (25 lb) 21inch vertical ->25.5 TLDR Followed RR, Is Voume Enough, Basketbal is the Goal [link] [comments] |
| How can I improve my workout routine? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 01:14 PM PDT Hi, so I'm a bit of a novice to working out and was wondering how I can improve my current workout routine. My current routine is: 2 sets of 13 push-ups 2 sets of 13 body rows 2 sets of 13 squats And a 1.5-mile jog 3 times a week [link] [comments] |
| Never knew that bodyweight fitness could lead to COREgasms! Posted: 10 Jul 2020 12:52 PM PDT Doing pull-ups and knee tucks became from being blissful to kind of a nightmare (but still blissful) because of this weird, pleasant sensation in my spicy areas every time I did it. And I'm asexual lol so had no clue why is it happening - until I came across coregasms! Apparently it happens to many people who engage in bodyweight movements involving the core!! Anyone had the same?https://www.tickle.life/blog/coregasm-the-exercise-induced-way-to-have-mind-blowing-orgasms/?utm_source=soc&utm_medium=rddt&utm_campaign=10jr [link] [comments] |
| How long did it take you to master the planche and or straddle planche? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 12:44 PM PDT I hear people say that it takes 6 months to master the planche and I hear people say that it takes 3 years so I wonder how long it would take for me. I just started training and can hold a tucked plank in this form https://imgur.com/a/0f6j7Ys for 10 sec max My weight is 64kg/141 pounds I'm 1.73m/5.8 My legs are a bit to the skinier side [link] [comments] |
| I am trying to gain weight but instead I keep losing it. Posted: 10 Jul 2020 12:34 PM PDT Football season is coming up and my dad wants me to gain a couple of pounds. I work out regularly lifting weights and doing ab workouts 5 times a week. After I get full I usually weigh around 117 before bed. When I wake up I weigh 114! And I used to weigh 116. I feel like Im weighing less and less each day and im sick of it. I do make 1000 calorie shakes a day and eat well over 2500 calories but I dont see the weight gaining. How do I fix this? Im a bit swole but I need some fat in my upper body because everyone says I look puny. Im currently 17 5'4 and 114 pounds and looking forward on putting on some weight before football season starts. Is it my high metabolism? Im not sure. Some help would be nice. And also I feel like most of you guys will say eat more but I dont think thats the case. [link] [comments] |
| Can I train everyday? One heavy and one light, alternating? Posted: 10 Jul 2020 10:44 AM PDT Hi. I'd like to know if I can practice the RR 3 days a week (say Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and in the other 3 days I'd like to practice some skills (handstand, dead hangs and some planche/front lever professions. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| I can do proper muscle up, but can't do even 5 pull ups Posted: 09 Jul 2020 03:12 PM PDT So as the title says, my max reps for normal chin above the bar p.ull ups is about 4-5 reps, and that's for the first workout when I'm completely fresh. I did my first chicken wing muscle up a week ago and managed to progress it to a real muscle up with a really good form and little kipping. I'm not really asking for a way to improve my max pull up reps, I'm asking if someone had similar experience and if someone knows why is it that way. Any info would be helpful, but the main question is why can i do proper mp but can't even do 6 pull ups in a row. [link] [comments] |
