| For people who achieved planche: I have some questions Posted: 27 Aug 2020 01:50 AM PDT People who have achieved the planche, How do you program your workout routine, besides doing planche training? Hi, I just started my planche journey, and I am interested by how do you incorporate your planche training with other forms of training? Is it good to incorporate weightlifting after training for the planche? On different days maybe? Are you on a calorie surplus, trying to gain weight while you are training for it? Is diet imports in planche training in your opinion? Supplements? Do you work on pulling strength/skills (front lever etc..) on the same day? Other day? Or not at all? Do you work on your handstands on off days? Thanks [link] [comments] |

| Why you SHOULDN'T cross your legs behind you during a pull-up! Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:14 AM PDT I recently made a post about this on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZvkKXFqjM/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_copy\_link I see a lot of people doing this during pull-ups. I myself even use to do this and sometimes still do if I have to use a low bar at home. Nevertheless, I think crossing your legs behind you isn't the best strategy and here is why.⠀ [link] [comments] |
| Are only pushups and rows enough? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 10:51 AM PDT Hello guys, I've had my fair share of injuries and 2 surgeries done on my arm, now I'd like to get back to exercise. I was cleared by docs to perform any exercise that is painfree, but through testing I've only been able to be painfree while doing pushups and horizonal rows. If I do only these exercises for my upper body, will it be ok or am I neglecting any muscle area? Thank you very much :) [link] [comments] |
| Weighted pull-ups --> muscle-ups? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 09:57 AM PDT Just a quick question. Is weighted calisthenics, mostly weighted pull-ups and dips, a good and effective way to eventually getting strength and technique for the muscle-up? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 10:53 AM PDT Hello! I recently have had thoughts about starting body weight training. I was thinking of doing the usual push ups, planks, squats etc. I am just not quite sure how to start (I am pretty weak, so I don't think I can do many in a row...), and how that I can increase the amount of exercises that I can do without taking a break, also on how that I can stay motivated on continuing to do it every day. I thank you in advance. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:33 AM PDT I have been training with rings for about 2 months now. I have never had any trouble with it until now. I am getting stronger and I am able to do longer support holds and more push ups. This has given me a slight ache in my wrist. I am aware that muscles will grow stronger much faster than tendons will. I am just wondering is there is anything I should be doing to increase recovery of the tendons? I do an easy warmup routine for my wrists where I go through some motions and do some simple stretching, but is this something I should be doing on off days as well? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Injuries from learning planche Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:31 AM PDT I know that training the one arm pullup can lead to injuries such as elbow tendonitis, and I was just wondering if training for the full planche leads to any injuries as well? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 11:12 AM PDT During my post shoulder surgery time, I spent a lot of time strengthening and stretching my legs. I hurt my knees by doing sissy squats that were too hard for me. After some rest, stretches, walking/running/bicycle, I got way better but if I did kicks, or straightened my leg to fast it would hurt me. I did a lot of squats but hamstring helped a lot more. I can do everything I could before. But my knee is still a little bit unstable, especially when I sit in Indian position (let alone the lotus one). What else can I strengthen except quads and hamstrings to stabilize my knee? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Do bar thickness have any thing to do with pull ups? Posted: 27 Aug 2020 06:53 AM PDT So, i've gotten myself an iron bar for pullups, and I can't even hang properly, my fingers starts to hurt in 2 seconds. Is it because the bar is too thin? Do bar thickness have any thing to do at all or is it just my fingers are too weak? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 10:19 AM PDT How come I find it much easier to do alternating bicep curls with a dumbbell in each hand standing , than doing just one curl with one dumbbell in a hand standing. I'm a beginner and I can easily curl 20 pounds in each hand but if I try to just curl 20 pounds in my left hand especially, it's pretty difficult. perhaps it has do with there being more balance and stabilization.

| Posted: 27 Aug 2020 10:03 AM PDT As a beginner in calisthenics I've experienced a large amount of strain on my shoulders, and after 3 months of training I got a minor shoulder injury.

| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:08 PM PDT Title. I'm curious as to any personal stories of doing strictly calisthenics for a long time and attempting to max out on bench. This question is out of sheer curiosity so save the "if you want a strong bench then bench" comments. I know of one person who has never lifted weights for upper body but was able to press 4 plates per side on the incline hammer press for 3x10 first time ever using it. [link] [comments] |
| My muscles are so weak that I can’t even finish a 15 minute body weight HIIT. Tips? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:20 PM PDT Hi! I'm a 5'4 120 lbs female. I lost over 65 pounds last year mainly through diet. Since I didn't really exercise while losing weight, i lost a lot of muscle mass as well. Ive recently started doing cardio which I love. But I really want to tone my body and increase muscle definition, which cardio on its own wont so and i saw that full body HIITS can really help that. However, today I attempted a beginner level 15 minute one and I barely made it to 6 minutes. I had to stop because my body was shaking so bad i could barely even move, I was so weak. I had a break down because i was so frustrated at how weak I am. Any tips on how I can last longer and be stronger throughout a workout?? Thanks:) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Aug 2020 07:58 AM PDT I started doing the recommended routine about 6 months ago, and at the time couldn't do a pushup or a deadhang. For some reason my core has always been super strong though. I've had abs since I was 6. 😄 Due to a shoulder injury my progress was slower than I would've liked (couldn't dead hang until after 3 months of PT). Worked up to 3x5 Pushups, 3x1 Pullup, 3x8 Inverted Rows, 3x30s Handstand, 3x8 Pistol Squats. (Didn't do dips due to shoulder pain) Idid a Push/Pull split 6 days a week, although I'd have to take days off if my shoulder or back flared up. I've always struggled a lot with my weight being super low, but I've managed to put on 25 pounds of mostly muscle. This is the most I've ever weighed but I honestly feel so much healthier, and not so embarrassed about my size. I'm still 'underweight' but I'll get there eventually. Started out 5'10 at 100#, now up to 125#. I had back surgery this past Tue, so I wanted to document the progress I've made as I know I'm getting ready to lose it all. (3 months of bed rest 😴) But I'm hoping once I recover I'll be able to gain the muscle back more quickly than before. The foundation is there at least. It'll be a long road to recovery but hopefully it'll get rid of my chronic back pain that has been impeding my progress!

| $1000 Work Well-being Allowance - What to Buy? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:58 AM PDT Our work is giving us $1000 each year towards "well-being" Anything from...
I've already got a gym membership and know a fair amount about personal finance. I have scoliosis, so maybe massage therapy would benefit me? I'm a 23 y/o new grad, so maybe some life coaching and counseling would help? Are nutritionists and personal trainers even worth it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:49 AM PDT I just want to get some counselling about how to warm up to do ring exercises. If I don't warm up I get tendonitis, but I want to do it in the right way. To give a little bit of perspective I can do 10 pull ups in a row, 10 dips (dip bar) in a row and 10" of hanging hollow on the rings. I'm a beginner on the rings. [link] [comments] |
| How to focus more on side delts? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:17 PM PDT With push ups and dips, I feel my fronts get enough work. So with rows and my rears. But I don't really see any progress in my side delts. Would pike/handstand do the job? Dolphin push ups? Side to side planks? [link] [comments] |
