    5 Workouts in and I am absolutely sold

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 05:44 AM PDT

    I started BWF around 10 days ago, parallel to a ketogenic diet (not my first one, not mainly for weight loss either). Initially I just wanted to burn some extra calories while listening to lectures - but I was suprised when I started noticing differences after just a week.

    I see and feel muscles everywhere on my body that I have never witnessed before. It's not placebo and not just definition from fat loss either. I even have stretch marks on my arms. I don't just notice if after workout either. It's really there.

    My posture improved dramatically and I'm losing fat so quickly, it's unbelievable. It almost feels surreal, I finally have a proper jawline, belly is shrinking, veins are starting to show all the way up the forearms.

    I started at 70 kg (154 lbs) and I'm now down to 67 kg (148 lbs). I did certainly lose a lot of water weight when I cut out the carbs but considering the muscle growth I'm very happy with this. I should probably mention that my goal is still not getting big - I'm currently living on like 1000 kcal a day, certainly not ideal for that.

    I haven't been doing any kind of sports before, so I guess that I'll hit a plateau pretty soon, but I'll continue for sure. I'm asking myself the same question that most of you probably ask yourself, why did I not start sooner?

    I really want to thank all of you, for putting together all this information, for motivating each other, for helping me improve myself.

    Is it possible to achieve a one arm pushup with just weighted pushups and anti-rotation exersices?

    Posted: 20 Jul 2020 08:46 PM PDT

    If I were to do weighted pushups with an extra 105 pounds (47.6 kg), which is my weight, and anti-rotation exercises like side planks, pallof presses, etc, could I achieve a one arm pushup? Of course I would increase the difficulty of the anti-rotation exercises by increasing the lever, adding weight, or changing the position of my body.

    Are there any totally free fitness apps that layout a workout schedule for your body type and goals?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 09:35 AM PDT

    All the apps I've downloaded have been free but when I put in all my information, it tells me I need a monthly subscription. Are there any apps out there that you don't have to pay for?

    What should I focus on? So many questions...?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 08:43 AM PDT

    In general I just want to have a good body. But I can't reach it. At first I trained about 1 year. Long break. Then about 3 years and I ate to to mutch. I gained a lot of muscle but ended up fat. So I stopped again. No I began with body weight training. For about two years. But I still hate my body.

    I'm 1,73m (86,1 inch) and my weight is 62kg (139 pound). And I feel feet. I have fat in my hips and fat on my breast (looks like a gyno, but idk.. a doctor has checked it, and sad it's fine, everyone looks different). I have to say I have small hands, feeds, wrists – bones in generell.

    Now I'm try to lose bodyfat to get rid of my hips and tits.. I ate 1700kcal a day and workout 3 times a week. I feel very hungry but still don't lose weight...

    I'm very depressed. In sum I'm trained more than 5 years. I count every calorie I ate, ate very clean and a lot of protein. But still look like shit. On top my left chest is much bigger than my right and my hole body looks not symmetrical.

    My actual routine is: (try to get stronger every workout)

    5x5 pull-ups (added 14kg weigh)

    5x5 ring dips (added 14kg weight)

    3x10 shoulder push-up (feeds on a chair and Pus up)

    3x12 squats (added 14kg in a bag pack)

    3 x 6s L- sit in rings

    2 x back leaver (but not full just with angled legs)

    2 x front leaver (with angled legs too)

    3-5 time handstand

    A other question I'm thinking about. Is it better to concentrate just in back leaver and put everything in it to master it or still hang on my routines? In the last time I don't feel a lot progress in these exercises.

    And how can I learn muscle up, I'm able to do some not very clean and want to practice them. But when??? How do you guys managed all the shit?

    I feel like I wasting my life and will never get what I want. I just want to be very low body fat and than gain more muscle so I don't have to worry about my hips and tits anymore...

    I forgot to say I have problems with my right shoulder and can't do exercises like push ups...

    So many questions, and that's not all. My head is going to explode. Can someone held me or give advises or something else what I should do.

    How To Lose That Damn Belly Fat & Love Handles?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 08:44 AM PDT

    Combining a diet and exercise regimen of at home bodyweight fitness, I've lost about 11 pounds from 158 to 147. I am starting to see my abs showing more, but it's this layer of fat around my belly and waist which is keeping my abs from showing. And I have some bad love handles lol.

    My goal weight is pretty much till I see visible 6-pack abs, which is probably 142 or 140. But it seems like I am struggling to go down any further. Any tips?

    How do improve mind muscle connection?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 12:51 AM PDT

    I went to the gym for the first time yesterday In months and noticed not only that I was weaker (expected), but that I couldn't exhort the same degree of effort.

    On some sets when it got hard I could usually push through and finish, but now I just give up when I struggle. I used to go bright read and get sweaty but now I don't feel tired after. I know doing those sets I have more to give, but I can't find a way to actually push my muscles to keep going.

    Any advice on how to work on this? Is it something everyone gets or just a thing in my head?

    RR - Why aren't triplets recommended?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 09:39 AM PDT

    It is mentioned in the RR that you could do triplets of 50s, but it is not recommended to do this, why is this exactly?

    From the few threads that I found the general problems are as follows:

    1. If you already need the 90s or more rest in-between sets then triplets are practically useless and that they can give your muscles too much rest, however this is more of a stamina problem than anything, so if you have the stamina or train it then you could you do the 50-60s with minimal issues.
    2. A lot of the exercises use similar muscles so you might not get enough rest for the specific muscles that you are going to be using, however this too could be minimized by putting specific exercises into each triplet, for example if you did this: Pull-ups > Squats > Dips, in this pull-ups and dips use similar muscles and could end up being a problem for rest. now if you were to change it to something like this: Pull-ups > squats > extension/hinge, unless there is some very specific reason as to why each set of exercises are isolated into their specific pairs, this would for the most part space out your exercises so that you maximize using different muscles as much as possible (This can be done for all sets). Notably depending on where on the progression you are, how much you use some of the similar muscles will vary, however this shouldn't be too much of a problem considering that no matter what exercise you are doing it's nearly impossible to let certain muscles rest completely.

    Looking at the problems and their fixes it doesn't really seem like there would be too much or any problems with doing triplets, maybe I'm not seeing it and would appreciate any and all input/answers.

    Recommend books on nutrition

    Posted: 21 Jul 2020 01:21 AM PDT

    Hi everyone. I am trying to live healthier while working out and I would like to educate myself a bit more on nutrition.

    So if anyone could recommend to me some good books or any resources on diet and nutrition it would be much appreciated.

    P.S. I am a hardgainer looking to gain some mass.

    What is the relation between strength and hypertrophy?

    Posted: 20 Jul 2020 08:31 PM PDT

    Often on this subreddit, and in other fitness subreddits I see posts detailing different training regimens for strength and hypertrophy. Where in hypeetrophy you want to maximize volume given sufficient intensity, do a bunch of sets of exercises that you can do 8-10 reps of and in strength you should prioritize exercises that you can barely do a few reps of. These kind of posts make it sound like these two things are unrelated. I'd like to know what's the relation between the two, especially in calisthenics.

    For example I consider the planche to be one of my highest goals in terms of strength. I know that I will have to train really hard to develop the strength in my core, arms and shoulders to be able to perform a planche. Now if I train solely to gain that strength, in a training style that is optimal for strength training, does that mean I will neglect hypertrophy? Basically can one gain the strength to do such advanced movements like the planche while not getting too much gainz? If that's the case then what does hypertrophy do? So bigger mucles != stronger muscles?
