| How could I achieve more wrist strength? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 02:40 AM PDT I am trying to learn the rings muscle up and for that I need to get comfortable with a false grip. My problem is that when I try to do a pull-up with a false grip my hands slip (I guess I lack that kind of grip strength). Because of that, I started practicing holding my body on the rings on a false grip, but when I do I cannot move my hands from the most comfortable position (perpendicular to my shoulders) and my wrists hurt after a few seconds of hold. Is this normal? (It didn't hurt so bad when I got used to grip with my fingers) What exercises should I do to improve my wrist strength? (apart from static holds) And how often should I "train" wrists? Is it better to do the false grip with or without wrist support? I normally do them with it but today I tried without my wirst wrap and felt like I had some more flexibility, but I am afraid this could lead to injuries. Thank you for your help! [link] [comments] |
| Why are some Cardio Equipment harder to learn? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 08:17 AM PDT Hello, I've recently started with working out, and I'm asking myself : why is the crosstrainer so exhausting and the "Sit" Bike not? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Wanna learn push ups then eventually clapping push ups. Where do I start? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 11:45 AM PDT Hey! I'm a newbie I want to learn how to do push ups and eventually harder stuff during quarantine. I'm starting with the sink to get movement patterns down and I'm kinda feeling my traps so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I want to start of properly so I'll link a video of me doing them below.

| Newbie in need of help on where to start (Fitness for RAF) Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:56 AM PDT Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched and read the FAQ but nothing helped me out much there :/ Hi all :) So recently I've decided I'd like to try and join the RAF. Curriculum wise I'm all set for knowledge/tests however the one huge barrier for me is the fitness. Big fact: I have never been into fitness, and I am very unfit. I haven't really exercised since I did PE in school and my diet has never been up to much. I'm around 6'2ft tall and weigh just under 13st, according to the BMI scale I'm healthy but I have very little muscle and I have chub on my legs and stomach. So if you ask me that BMI scale is talking out it's arse - I'm not healthy.... The join requirements for the RAF are: Running 2.4km (1.5m) in under 11 minutes 11 seconds 20 Press-ups in 60 seconds - P.S.A | I can't even do one press-up 35 Sit-ups in 60 Seconds I know for some that's probably an easy workout, however for me to do that is a huge obstacle. I'm willing to try my absolute hardest to make it to and beyond those goals so I can achieve my career. I just honestly do not know where to start in terms of exercise and food. I've started doing the NHS couch to 5k routine which is okay, but I need to build my arm strength for press-ups and burn the fat around my belly and legs to help me run easier. Food: In terms of diet I cut out all snacks, junk food etc. Now I primarily eat vegetarian, except for chicken and I only eat fruit or a handful of unsalted nuts between meals. However it's all so confusing, I don't know whether to eat carbs or avoid them same with fats and etc... Exercise: I did the first Couch to 5K run which was 60 seconds running with 90 walk intervals for 30 minutes (so around 8 minutes of jogging) I enjoyed it but I'd be lying if I said it didn't nearly kill me. Since I can't do proper press-ups I'm trying incline press-ups which I can do but still someone what struggle after 7+ reps. TL;DR - Can I ask for any tips/routines for getting to this level of fitness, I feel lost and I'm worried I'm going to get demotivated. I desperately want to be able to do this, I just need some pointers :) Thanks :) [link] [comments] |
| Buying gymnastic rings - how much difference there is between $20 and $50 ones? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 11:10 AM PDT Hello, I'm wondering is it worth it getting quite pricey (at least for me) $50 rings or spare money and buy cheaper ones? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2020 11:07 AM PDT The muscle groups they work is basicaly the same, so if I get the full planche for a few seconds, will I be able to do a back lever no problem? Edit: close* in the title [link] [comments] |
| How to combat soreness days after workout Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:03 AM PDT Hi, I hope this isn't a silly question, I'm 23 and have recently started callisthenics, I'm still very early in starting about 2/3 weeks but I find that after I do a full workout, the next day I feel great (a tiny bit of soreness) but then the following day and sometimes the day after is when I fell especially sore from a workout, I have been taking BCAA to help with recovery. I feel like it is really hindering my progress as I'm having to take such long breaks between training as I don't want to injure myself, is this normal when you first start as I realise that I'm working muscles/joints that don't normally get pushed, will this get better? or is there anything I can do to help with a quicker recovery? I have made progress doubling my push-up reps and pull-ups already but I feel like I could be getting more if I could train more frequently. As I said I'm taking BCAA before and after my workout and I'm eating healthily with around a 500 cal deficit each day (I've been eating like this for the past year and lost 6stone (~84lb) and I'm averaging minimum 120g of protein a day too. Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm a complete newbie to all this so even if it's a really simple answer all help is greatly appreciated!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:53 AM PDT I can do pistol squats on my left leg, but I lack some strength and mobility on my right leg, primarily at my right ankle. I'm working on the mobility issue with some drills, but in the mean time I'm still trying to build the strength and skill of pistol squats in my right leg. I've been alternating between two progressions: holding a counter weight out in front of me (5-8lbs) or using a slight heal lift, such as a weight plate. I do not do both at one time. Which is the preferable progression? [link] [comments] |
| exercise recs for patellofemoral syndrome? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:20 AM PDT Hi there, hope I'm not breaking any rules with this post. So, I have a nasty pain in my right knee due to the patelloferamoral syndrome and was wondering what would be a right program to address that. My PTs told me to strengthen my quads, but I wasn't sure if the programs I found could make my condition worse (though some exercises definitely made me feel stronger, I'm just not sure which ones worked and which ones are a no-go).

| Would like to have some feedback on my planche lean pushup Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:34 AM PDT Was inspired to try to do it after seeing a post here and a fitnessfaq video, was only doing a front lever version to train my straight arm strength up untill this point...and feedback would be appreciated, beside felling my bicep and shoulders I have no clue if I am even doing it correctly [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:26 AM PDT I got a pair of rings about two months ago and since then I've been addicted. I don't think I'll go back to the gym even once it's open. My training program is becoming more and more complete each week. However, recently I included shoulders as another element and I can't quite figure out where to put it during my week. I find that if i put it before my push pull days I'm robbing myself with gains in the former. Vice versa when i put it after. Another issue that I have is that I recently learnt how to do a ring muscle up but now that it isn't the main focus I have no idea how to include it in the routine either. Here is my training program. Please be free to go beyond the scope of the question and critique any other issue you find. Monday (pull):6x6 pullups (alternating between false grip and normal grip) 3x8 rows 3x8 bicep curls 3 Muscle ups Tuesday (push): 6x6 dips RTO 3x15 pushups 2x15 reverse flys Wednesday (shoulders): 3x8 Pseudo planche pushups 3x8 pike pushups 2 mins Wall handstand isometric hold 3x30 seconds pseudo planche pushups Thursday: rest/3mile run Friday: repeat monday/3x10 squats+deadlifts unfortunately only have a 40lb barbell for these Saturday: repeat tuesday Sunday: rest/mobility/skill work [link] [comments] |
| A quick, dumb question about the RR. Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:26 AM PDT Will i see results with the copenhagen planks and the arch raises? I don't have the equipment to do the main exercises and i'm broke. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Aug 2020 12:13 PM PDT I have suffered with depression since I was around 11 and have always had mental health issues since i was born I'm 13 now and want to change things I'm 5,2 and exactly 9 stone 10 according to a BMI chart I'm around 25 BMI I want to start by getting to 9,5 any tips [link] [comments] |
| Training masks for increasing oxygen uptake Posted: 15 Aug 2020 11:53 AM PDT I'm aware that these masks have sometimes in the recent past been referred to as high altitude masks and that they have been proven to not simulate high altitude training. That is not however what I'm thinking here. I'm aiming to increase my oxygen intake. Running for 45 to 60 minutes barely does anything for my respiratory fitness. I've always been bad at long runs and my cooper results have always gotten better only through HIIT training. I think it has something to do with the fact that I seem to have high amount of type 2 muscle fibers since I'm excellent at sprinting and in excercises that require explosive strength. So I could just have lower amounts of type 1 fibers than average. And I also think that I have smaller lungs than average. So it could be that my endurance issues cannot be solved by increasing capillaries in my feets. I also have a shit v02 max. So I want to focus on my lungs. Would a training mask be good for increasing vo2 max or/and increasing the size and strength of diaphragm? [link] [comments] |
| Hand position when doing ring rows Posted: 15 Aug 2020 10:34 AM PDT Does the position of the hands during a ring row matter similar to when doing ring pull ups? Like palms towards/away from you, neutral or rotating during the movement? [link] [comments] |
| How many reps & sets do you do of HSPU, OA push up, OA pull up and impossible dips? Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:54 AM PDT |
| Increasing my fingers strength Posted: 15 Aug 2020 09:16 AM PDT I have a decent amount of forearm strength but my fingers are weak ,why ? And how to fix that ? [link] [comments] |
| Grip Training push/pull routine Posted: 15 Aug 2020 04:04 AM PDT I've gotten more and more into grip Training this year, while I thought my functional fitness training would aid in my grip strength I've learnt that to do more pull ups and to train myself up to the one arm fingertip plank I need to focus more on specific grip Training. I'm not reinventing the wheel you can find everything online but haven't seen many posts on grip Training and forearm mass on this forum. There is a major advantage to having great grip strength, your grip is the last thing to go, ever shake hands with an older gentlemen and think damn are you shaking my hand hard on purpose ?? Take it easy. It also can help adding more reps to your pull ups and push ups, building up great strength endurance, or it can help with your jujitsu or wrestling. Ever shake hands with a wrestler ? They are one of most powerful athlete's out there. Alot of boxers back in the golden days of Jack Dempsey use to train grip/forearm Training regularly, he was one of the hardest hitters of all time along with Rocky Marciano who put a boxer in a coma for awhile with his powerful punches. This is something I wish I would of trained more when. I first started bodyweight training, but better late then never try not to rush through the progressions slow and steady wins the race Push guide First progressing Knee push ups on knuckles (pronated position) Knee push ups on knuckles (neutral position) Do 2 sets of 20 on each exercise, once you have comfortably completed all reps and sets go on to the next progression 2nd progression standing fingertip push ups Stand against the wall with your fingertips extended For best results aim for a 3 second tempo while in the flexion position then press away. 2 sets of 40 reps. 3rd progression Vertical fingertip push up Put yourself in the pike push up position but extend your legs a bit further then a standerd pike push up see where your most comfortable extend your fingertips and proceed to do the pike push ups with your fingers extended. 2 sets of 20 4th progression Fingertip push ups on knees Standard push ups elbows close to your body but again extend your fingers and proceed to do push ups 2 sets of 20 5th progression Fingertip plank Hold the plank for 1 min for 5 sets add 30 secs to your plank every week until you can get to 4 mins each plank 6th progression One arm finger tip plank Hold as long as you can and build from there it's a very difficult feat to hold for a minute from here sky's is the limit for you. pull progressions 1st progression Standing row hang Best on a post hold the post with your fingertips and pull back griping the post with all your strength using your finger tips. Hold for 1 minute 8 sets 2nd progression inverted/Australian row hang Hang for 2 minutes while keeping your body straight and core on 3rd progression bar hang Grip onto the bar and just hang once you feel your forearms starting to burn acivate your shoulders and bring scapula down just like a scapula pull hold for 2 minutes 6 sets One arm hangs Same as above but with one arm hold for as long as possible then switch sky's the limit when you reach this progression hey it might help you achieve the one arm pull up an extremely great feat to pull off Good luck Tora [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2020 02:02 PM PDT I started RR and found my hips were super tight during the sky reaches. For anyone having the same problems I would highly recommend some hip flexor stretches: I like the lunge stretch, but I push the top of my back foot against the wall so my shin is flush with the wall. Or you can prop your foot up on like your bed footboard if it's comfortable or any elevated surface on the ground really. These will make your hips feel less tight, and I also found I am more comfortable activating and working my glutes when my hip flexors aren't as tight. TLDR: stretching hip flexors = booty gains [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2020 04:19 PM PDT When doing a pull up it looks as if my dominant hand is taking the majority of the effort What can I do to even this out? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2020 04:56 PM PDT I have a light to medium punching bag and I've got a skipping rope. I would like to work on my footwork as well as punching speed and overall endurance. My endurance at the moment is not ideal and I think for the most part it comes from a lack of mental strength due to whenever I feel myself slowing I tend to start resting and I need to keep telling myself not to. Do you know if any good plan is available to me or if you have any tips? [link] [comments] |
