| Excellent jump rope progression series! Posted: 11 Aug 2020 09:52 PM PDT I've always sucked hard at jump rope, but the quarantine life has motivated me to take on new challenges. This 30 day challenge has been seriously motivating. I've only ever jumped basic single unders with spotty form. Now I'm stringing together front and side straddles, running in place, and jump/walking forwards and backwards after a couple weeks of solid practice. I never thought I could do jump rope "tricks" but this is super exciting to share. It's a great workout and motivator! [link] [comments] |
| Best beginner workouts that also is quiet on the floor? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 07:30 PM PDT I live on the 2nd floor above my landlord and would like to know what workouts I can do that doesn't involve making noise on the floor. e.g. jump rope, jumping jacks, etc. Is it even possible to get a full workout with these restrictions? Going outside won't be an option. [link] [comments] |
| [Serious] What's the advantage of body weight fitness when a gym is as low as $10/month? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 09:21 PM PDT No hate I am just wondering. I have finally returned to the gym after staying away for a few months and I was so happy to finally return [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:06 PM PDT Sup guys, I am currently starting to get into fitness and such. I am 5'7-5'8 about 150 pounds and I want to go for a lean muscular build. Is there any tips like on what to eat? Do I cut out bread? Workout regiment? Links to what to eat and any helpful info? Appreciate it guys [link] [comments] |
| Afraid of doing the Recommended Routine because of weight losss, how should I approach this? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 08:19 AM PDT Hello guys. I'm 24 and I need to lose some weight but I'm scared to end up with tons of loose skin and also losing my boobs 😠My current weight is around 90-95Kg (210-215lbs) and my height is 5"9 (1.77cm) so that means I need to lose around 35-40 (20-25kg) How should I approach this mentally? It gets to the point where I have the intention to begin with the routine but I just freak out. What would be the ideal amount of weight loss per week for better results? Like 2lbs/1kg per week? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Calisthenics vs. Weightlifting Stats (Comparison) Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:15 AM PDT I recently stumbled upon an old post about how Calisthenics compare to Weightlifting in terms of strength and mass gain. The link is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/6iwyvh/calisthenics_and_muscle_mass_potential/ Unfortunately it is not possible to comment on it anymore since it was archived, but I still wanted to give my 2Cents xD The following stats were mentioned in the post: Person A: 140kg squat, 125kg bench, 170kg deadlift, 10 dips@40kg Person B: 60x Pistols, 5x One Arm One Leg Pushup, 5x HSPUs, 20x Chinup, all @ BW Now Person A has 10kg more muscle mass than Person B and Person B was wondering whether this is due to the ineffectiveness of Calisthenics at building mass/strength. Leaving easier progressive overload with weights aside. (which might not be a valid argument after all because from my own experience I know that density training in calisthenics can substitute Micro loading with weights aka might be superior to adjusting levers for progression) This is my main argument: The calisthenics guy was just too weak. Which is evident in his rep stats. E.g. only 5 HSPUs. From my own experience I have the following comparison between weight training and calisthenics stats: 13 strict Chest2Bar Pullups (pronated grip) = +50% BW weighted Chinup 10 reps One Arm Pushups* = 1.33xBW Bench 10 HSPUs = 75% BW Press *(with (only(!)) chest touching floor (none of this stupid belly flapping that you see so often!), full lockout, upperbody always parallel to the ground, feet 2x shoulder width apart and on one arm unbroken) Note: I always used full Range of motion and perfect form with no kipping whatsoever. Which means that the Chest touches the bar on Pullups and the Floor on One Arm Pushups - Ass2Grass with pause when it comes to Pistols. If we assume a hypertrophy rep range of 20 reps I would still have a lot of potential there, in fuckarounditis 20 Pullups are also mentioned as the elite goal. Even though you should probably check out this article concerning the rep ranges https://www.strongerbyscience.com/hypertrophy-range-fact-fiction/ Later I did weightlifting (Low Bar BackSquat 1.8 BW, Bench 1.33. BW, Dead 2.1xBW, Clean&Jerk 1xBW) while my upper body movements (also Pushups, Pullups, Muscleups) did not improve, my legs certainly got stronger. This resulted in 11 Pistols per each leg, Ass to grass, waiting 1 sec in the bottom to eliminate stretch reflex. Now my conclusion as to why there might be such a huge disparity of results is this: Firstly: 5 One Arm Pushups vs 125kg Bench if you would want to reach the same level on an average bodyweight of 75-80kg one would have to do at least 15 One Arm Pushups with the form guidelines above. Secondly: 60 Pistols vs 140kg Squat (comparing only legs and leaving spinal erectors aside) maybe no pause at bottom? Or not full rom? In my case it was 11 Pistols = 140kg squat but I was low bar squatting (hamstring/lower back dominant) only to slightly below parallel while the pistols were ass2grass) Thirdly 20 x Chinups vs (?) With 20 strict Chest2Bar Pullups one should be elite level according to fuckarounditis, so either the form is bad (only chin-up https://www.bobbymaximus.com/how-to-do-20-perfect-pull-ups/ ) or kipping was used. Did anyone of you compare your calisthenics and weightlifting stats? What were your results? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Aug 2020 01:55 AM PDT Hey! Im doing Jokester's PPL from r/bwf menu and I dont know on what days can I add Pallof press and Reverse hyper from core triplet. Same with L-sit skill work. I was thinking of adding L-sit skill work 3 times a week on day 1,3,5 and adding Pallof press on Push days and Reverse hyper on Pull days. What do you think? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:33 PM PDT My country just got into quarantine so I'm not allowed to go to my local park, where I do my pull-ups, dips, and body rows. That restricts a lot my upper body training, what do you guys suggest me to do? I have a resistance band so I could adapt it to train back and stuff. [link] [comments] |
| Brazilian but lift vs Weight lifting Posted: 11 Aug 2020 09:07 PM PDT I've been thinking about having this popular BBL surgery that promises me to have an hourglass shape body without any effort. I know that after this kind of surgery I'll be super swollen and that I'll see the real results after 6 months!! I'm not really into fitness life and weight lifting but I wonder if someone can know if someone can really have nice results and booty gains in 6 months. I try to find my answer on google but I only find this kind of stories about having great results after years!!! . Is not like I want to have a super kardashian fake ass right away. I'm not fat... I would say that I'm more like skinny fat because I know I have no much muscle, so that's why I'm concerned about how slow my progress can be. [link] [comments] |
| What does passive stretching know that active stretching and exercising from stretch do not? Posted: 11 Aug 2020 01:19 PM PDT I am grateful for every answer that can support it's statement, but I'm especially curious about the opinion of professionals (physiotherapists, personal trainers, doctors etc.). To avoid misunderstandings: Passive stretching: the stretched muscle and it's antagonist muscle DO NOT CONTRACT, an outside force makes the stretch possible.For example:
Active stretching: the antagonist muscle CONTRACTS making the protagonist muscle stretched. I could mention exercising in general because in order to make a muscle contract the antagonist has to relax. But this not always makes enough stretch on the muscle.For example:
This exercising from stretch thingy (don't know the proper name): you go into a position where the muscle stretches and from that you make a rep in order to use a bigger range of motion. So you use the full healthy range of motion of the muscle. Sometimes it's a full range of motion (a*s-to-grass squats), but it can go beyond a conventional range of motion (push ups but you go deeper).For example:
So, my main question is: Why is passive stretching important when we can do the other two "stretches"?I ask this because as far as I know, passive stretching is important because of three factors: - flexibility - to pull apart the muscles so it will some kind of longer (however, the muscle won't be longer just more elastic maybe?) - later on, we can use it to improve our mobility So my knowledge can be wrong. As far as I know, flexibility (your body does not freak out when you go into that stretch) and mobility (you can move freely in that range of motion) are two different terms. I get that when you do active stretching, in order to stretch the other muscle you have to contract one of them, but is it that big of a contraction that you need to stretch it too? So if I do a full bridge and after that a leg raise, do I have to stretch the hip flexors and abs again? As you can see, I'm not a professional, so my knowledge is possibly bad or anything. However, if you can correct me, I am just happy to improve my knowledge :) And last but not least, sorry for my english, not my native language. I do not own the images that I linked, I just searched them. Also, maybe I will ask the question in other subreddits too just to gain more sources of the information, not because I don't get proper answers. [link] [comments] |
