| Longevity of bodyweight routines? Posted: 07 Jul 2020 04:03 AM PDT Hey guys! I'm super new to fitness in general, I would consider myself almost an absolute beginner; sure I can do a few pushups with proper form, and a few pullups, but I don't work out regularly and I intend to change that starting with CC and possibly moving over to the RR once things start opening back up and I can build myself a proper little pullup/dip station (no, regardless of what everyone says, besides a slanted and very thick tree branch, there is nowhere I can do pullups; the doors and doorways in my old-ass house are weak as shit, and all nearby parks are still closed). But, as a complete beginner to training, my question is; what's the longevity possible with almost purely bodyweight training, maybe including light freeweights later on, and bands/weighted vests/etc (basically, absolute minimal equipment)? Is "perpetual growth" possible? I'd like to form or follow a routine that's more or less viable to follow indefinitely, while continuing to gain strength and endurance; along with low equipment and easy accessibility, the prospect of progressive movements and theoretically perpetual growth is what attracted me to bodyweight/calisthenics, but is it realistic? Could I truly continue scaling movements and progressions further and further indefinitely, or is there a plateau where I would have to switch to a new style of training, and if so what would that be? Naturally I want to look better, for myself and for my partner; I'm not fat now, but I'm not lean either. I am very very average (5'11", 180 lbs, you can barely see my top two abs but I also have mild lower stomach fat). However, my main goal is I guess athleticism. I want to be as strong and agile as possible and I want to continue that growth indefinitely. I have a history of free-climbing at bouldering gyms, which has built endurance and strength as well as agility and coordination, and I just want more ways to achieve that without JUST climbing, as gyms are closed right now and even when they're not, it's expensive as fuck to go regularly. So anyway, sorry for the long winded speech! TL:DR is it realistic to rely on bodyweight exercises forever and continue getting results indefinitely? [link] [comments] |
| How do you guys recover from CNS fatigue? Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:55 PM PDT Hello everyone, I've been trying to get into calisthenics for awhile, but have found a hurdle that got me scratching my head. My reps and strength have increased consistently over time, but whenever I have a CNS-intensive session (think of statics/ holds, isometrics, really slow reps), it takes me upwards of 2 days of COMPLETE rest before I can jump back it. Also noteworthy is that in those days my mind is so tired that I feel like I haven't slept the night before. Worth mentioning: during a CNS session, I tend to do several (2-3 or more) isometric exercises and for each exercise I do 3 sets of 30-60 second holds. Also, if you read this far into the post: what was the main factor that led you to increased gains? (I feel like I could gain way more muscle) [link] [comments] |
| Combining calisthenics and weightlifting Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:07 PM PDT How do y'all combine these 2 methods of working out? I'm still a novice to both : started weightlifting last November, stopped early this year due to lockdown, eventually started doing (or trying to do) the RR in a local park once that was allowed again. And now the gyms are re-opening, and I feel like doing both. If I had to put it into words, I guess calisthenics is "play" whereas weightlifting appeals more to my analytical side? Some options I could see myself doing instead of my current 3 full-body sessions per week :

| Great cardio drill for those short on time and space - 17s Posted: 07 Jul 2020 09:36 AM PDT I had kind of forgotten about this drill since all the basketball courts are closed in my area but thought i'd share in case any one is looking for some other cardio routines to try out on their non-strength days. Basic premise is to run the distance a basketball court baseline 17 times. Each time you go from the one sideline to the other, that's a rep. Run this as fast as you can but shoot for at least 10-15 reps within a minute. Rest for 2 minutes, then go at it again for a minute. Do this 5 times and you will have completed some extremely intense cardio within 15 minutes. The goal is to work up to 17 reps, 5 times within 15 minutes so you can adjust as needed (eg shorter distance,15 reps, 3 times etc.). Obviously make sure you warm up and stretch. I believe this is the legendary test the Miami Heat require for their players to complete before they're even allowed to play and there have been some great results for the players who have come from other teams. If you can do it, you're in as good if not better shape than many NBA players. Also, make sure you're hydrated and properly warmed up while doing this. This drill is supposed to be explosive so you don't want to cramp up and blow a calf like i did a few years ago, especially if you're a little older (30+ seems to be when calves start going downhill, lol). Here's an article on it in case you want to read about other variations of it: https://www.stack.com/a/basketball-conditioning-drills-slingshots Here's a great post about the Miami Heat's conditioning program, too: [link] [comments] |

| Should I do archer pull ups now? Posted: 07 Jul 2020 03:33 AM PDT It's been a year since I have been doing calisthenics and I still haven't gotten 12 reps for 4 entire sets of wide grip pull ups. However, I feel like I am not growing in anyway, not strenght, not muscle, not endurance and have gotten stuck. I want to train for archer pull ups because one arm pull ups is one of my goals to get. I can currently hold one leg front lever and back lever, the prerequisites to it are similar to one arm pull ups so I think I can do archer pull ups now and stop with getting 12 reps on each set. I did used to do archer pull ups with 5 kg excess weight with not good form for 2-3 reps for 3-4 sets. I stopped doing it because I thought my basics are weak and I still think they are but I am not improving anymore so should I do archer pull ups? [link] [comments] |
| Adding leg day to my routine and my Split. Posted: 07 Jul 2020 01:06 PM PDT Hello. I am a male, 180cm, 82,5kg, i think around 18-15%body fat. I can do 16 clean pull ups and 3 sets of 8-12pull ups. I was doing push/pull only I didnt do legs, cus I have strong legs from training football, but i decided to add leg day. Would you pleas give me your exemples of leg day. Which exercises should I do to target all muscles on legs. And when should I add Weights. Also my current routine is : Pull: 2sets wide grip pull ups 8-12 2sets shoulders widht grip pull ups 8-12 2 sets close grip pull ups 8-12 3 sets of body rrows 8-12 3 sets of straight arm pulls 3 sets of chin ups 8-12 3sets of headbangers 10reps 2 sets of hammer curls 2sets normal biceps curls. Rest between is 1 min. Push: 3sets straight bar dips 8-12 3sets dips 8-12 9 sets push ups(wide,normal, Diamond, pike) to failure. 3 sets of tricep extensions on low bar. 8-11 3 sets of push ups for tricep(I think they are called military push ups) to failure 3 sets of tiger band push ups. I also run around 6 km everyday. What do you think about how would you change it. When should I add weight to pull ups and dips... What is good leg workout? Thank you all for your answers.

| Grease the groove or workout? Or both? Posted: 07 Jul 2020 02:30 AM PDT Hello all, I have a question pertaining to the "Grease the Groove" method. I'm currently trying to increase my front lever hold (9secs) for the past month now, and I wanted to try out the GTG on my front lever to improve the timing. I have a workout routine for my front lever 4 days a week (I take one day rest in between my workout days, but I'm not really that sore on rest days), I'm not sure whether to ditch my routine and go for the GTG totally as I read somewhere that you either had to do GTG or workout only. Or incorporate the GTG and my workouts in the week, meaning I do my routine on a workout day and the next day I would GTG, followed by my routine the next day and so on. I would appreciate it if I can get some suggestions on what I should do Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:26 PM PDT Hello, do handstand pushups transfer strength to a better planche/ppp/planche pushups or do you have to build strength from the scratch? I think Dominik Sky said that hspu transfer to a better planche so I'm wondering what's your take on it. [link] [comments] |
| Developing strong, stable healthy shoulders through training Posted: 05 Jul 2020 12:52 PM PDT Hi guys, i'm following the recommended routine since about 2 months now. By training i hope (among other things) to develop strong, stable, healthy shoulders. I feel like they're one of my weakest links, so I've been making a lot of researches and i hope someone more knowledgeable could help me sort this stuff out. I need to understand if there's something i should add in my workouts for them.
I've probably missed something but these seem like some of the best resources out there. I know this is a lengthy post and that i've linked quite some stuff, but i hope someone can take 10 minutes to read my post and check out the resources in order to help me. I've really been taking training seriously these months so i hope someone can help. I need to understand what to do (if there's anything to do at all) when to do it (before/during/after workout, earlier/later in the day, rest days, everyday) and how to program it. Really hope someone knowledgeable can help. [link] [comments] |
| Master of Handstand : How long does a handstand focus session last ? Posted: 05 Jul 2020 04:38 PM PDT For those that have been working on their handstand for multiple month/year, I was wondering how long does your typical handstand focus session last ? I am asking mostly because I'm intrigued on knowing the anwser. My session usually last 30 minute (10-15 min of warming up and 15-20 min of handstands). I'm far from being decent at handstand. (my record being a low 5 second.) But my session usually stops short before my wrist start to hurt. For those that work on holding it a long period or working on doing different position. Does your wrist can still be a limiting factor in your training ? or did you develop enough strengh (and better balance) so they can support you for an almost unlimited amount of time ? Thank !

| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 10:31 PM PDT So, I just bought rings for working out and I would say it was difficult. I had a hard time installing ring especially getting the strap in the buckle. I bought the rings so that I could to dips and Rows near my park because there ain't any place near my home to do dips. But I had a hard adjusting it in the first place and let alone holding myself on rings is another. Any advice for a beginner on rings🤔? I am 189 cm and weigh around 80 kgs( haven't checked in a while). [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] |
| 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: 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
