| Fun moves to work towards for core and legs Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:00 AM PDT So I got really into calisthenics after I decided I wanted to learn to muscle up - I was at the bars every day working on it. Since I cracked it though, I've lost a lot of motivation. I enjoy building my physique, gaining strength and the feeling after having exercised, but what motivated me was working towards that fun move. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some moves to work towards that I might find as exciting as the muscle up, particularly ones that require more legs and core than chest, shoulders and lats. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Reminder: Don't train through injuries! Posted: 30 Jul 2020 06:30 PM PDT Just wanted to remind you guys of that. Training can be addictive, especially when learning new skills but don't forget to listen to your body. The whole point of being fit is to be healthy and fit, training through injuries is the exact opposite of that. Learned my lesson... Two weeks ago I was practicing OAHS's and fell awkwardly, tweaking my right oblique. There was some irritation involved but I continued to train handstands, just avoiding anything that made the area feel uncomfortable. A week later I injured it even further by choking on water (wtf) and coughing violently. Afterwards it hurt to use my core at all. Rested for a couple of days and went back at it with some minor irritation still. Today at work I guess it had enough and I felt two pops in my right oblique. Now it causes crippling pain when coughing, clearing my throat, basically engaging my core in any way. TL:DR injuries suck. All I want to do is be able to handstand. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 07:32 AM PDT Today I was playing around with some different moves (just for fun) and I noticed that my OAC has gotten closer and better than before. Starting from a bent arm hang, I can do a OAC on my right arm, but barely bend my left arm. However, this is just a muscular imbalance and it'll be fixed ASAP, I think it's more of mind muscle connection than anything, cause I curl and row the same weight in each arm. That's not the point of this post, though: the problem I'm having is at the start of the OAC. When I start from a dead hang, I can't even bend my arm. Not the tiniest bit. I just find it weird that I can literally do a OAC with the tiniest bend in my arm, but absolutely nothing with a straight arm. In short, here's what I'm asking: - is this common? How can I overcome this? - is 9 sets of OAC work 2x week enough volume? - how can I fix muscular imbalances without one arm getting farther than the other, or not training one arm? I don't want to put my training on rest for my left arm to catch up. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 04:53 PM PDT When the gyms first shut down due to the situation the world is in, I knew I needed something to keep me going workout wise. I remember seeing videos of people doing things like the human flag and muscle ups with absolute ease and how impressive it looked. This subreddit introduced me to the Recommended Routine and after about 2.5 months of dedicating myself to the hardest progressions I could, today I can finally say even though my form is far from perfect, I have finally conquered the muscle up. Video Link: https://imgur.com/gallery/WlQhl86 I lit up like a Christmas Tree after about 40 attempts and finally getting over that bar. I just wanna thank this subreddit for its resources and knowledge that allowed me to get to this point. Now that the muscle up has been conquered, its time to master it. Just for reference. I'm 5'7, 21 years old and 119 lbs. I am currently a college student and am part of my university's power-lifting team for about a year now. My SBD maxes were, 232lb, 150lb, and 260lb.

| What your suggest better app for work out - full body Posted: 31 Jul 2020 11:13 AM PDT I just buy new dumbbells for work out. So I not sure what is better app that helps tone up, use dumbbells, and full body. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 10:56 AM PDT Right now I can hold the top for up to 10 seconds and do a 15 second negative (top to bottom) but I can barely pull myself up 2 inches when I try an actual OAC. Just wanted to see what your experiences are and get an idea of how far I have to go. Also, do you have any training tips that helped when you were already decent at negatives and static holds?

| Posted: 31 Jul 2020 11:54 AM PDT Hi I'm a 20-year-old 108 kgs (238 lbs) male. Im 180 cm (5"11) tall. In my country we entered a new lockdown, due to another outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic so all gyms are closed. I heard a lot of positive outcomes of body weight training so I would like to try it. But I don't know anything about it and how to start and I don't have any equipment at home. I need help to start. It would be highly appreciated if anyone can give me a program or routine to start with. Thank you!!! [link] [comments] |
| What are the benefits of being more mobile? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 02:46 AM PDT Other than...being more mobile. Is it good for joints? Or to reduce body inflammation or injury risk? [link] [comments] |
| Not stretching before or after a workout.... Posted: 30 Jul 2020 01:16 PM PDT Hi all, so I've been doing the recommended Reddit routine for about 4 or 5 months now on hard and the only warm up that I do is about a minute worth of skipping before doing an hours worth of body weight exercises . I have never pulled any muscles or had any DOMS at all. Am i setting myself up for an injury or do is the importance of stretching over empathised or have I just been lucky?? [link] [comments] |
| Can't reach the same reps from previous workout - RR Posted: 30 Jul 2020 02:57 PM PDT Hi everyone, I've been doing the recommended routine for 6 weeks (have been on and off for a couple years). I have been tracking the amount of reps which I am hitting per exercise and each workout I try to match/ exceed the reps from the previous workout - primarily for my main exercises i.e. ring dips and weighted pull ups. This has been working really well and I am seeing progress in each exercise until last week. Last week I started to feel really tired, so I did one workout where I did the previous progression of each exercise i.e. bodyweight pull ups and dips. I could hit my reps again two days later. But now I'm struggling to hit my reps again. I wanted to understand whether this was a normal part of the process or is there something which I am missing. For context, I weigh 63kg, 173cm tall. I eat about 2200-2400 calories on my off days, and 2800 on my workout days. Possible reasons for not being able to hit reps: Any thoughts/ suggestions would be great :) [link] [comments] |

| One year progress - advice wanted going forwards. Posted: 30 Jul 2020 12:30 PM PDT I'm male, 5'10, turned 30 last year. I entered 2019 at just shy of 100kg, and currently around 72kg. Background: At the start of 2019 I was a mess. I hadn't intentionally done any exercise since I was a kid and didn't care about what I ate. Had a long period of unemployment during which I sat still for pretty much the entire time. Around March 2019 I had some medical issues (Not a medical post, just for background), and decided I should sort myself out. Bought a stationery bike and started with that, 15 minutes a day rising to about 40 by May. I then bought a pull-up bar and other BWF stuff. Didn't take any 'before' photos as I didn't think I'd need it or want it. Also not particularly comfortable uploading even just a 'now' picture. Started out at the very, very bottom of the progressions;
Followed the routine up until the start of the UK lockdown in March this year. Didn't really focus on diet that much, other than trying to make better choices. Would still stress eat a bunch (Introvert in a big office) but did slowly lose some weight. Think I started lockdown between 85 and 90kg. Decided to be more serious and set a limit of 2500 calories daily, with an exception for Friday night because I like rum and pizza. Started losing a bunch more weight so after about six weeks I binned the exception, cut alcohol completely, strict limit of 2000 daily calories. After a month of good progress being able to stick to it, I dropped again to 1800 calories. Around this time I also added stationery bike back in to my non-BWF days for 30 minutes. After another month or so, dropped calories again to 1600 and was biking most days for about an hour, including BWF days. So what is probably obvious to the more experienced people here by now, I burned out. Hard. Dropped reps everywhere, tired all the time, think I came close to injuring myself a few times. Took a couple weeks off. Currently I do BWF three times a week, stationery bike for 2-3 one hour sessions. I have 1600kcal as my default but add 400kcal on any days I exercise, but still very shaky and not making any progress. I'm stalemated and now I need a plan going forward. I think there are a few options I could take but I really need some advice on that -
