| Shoulder blade activation miracle. Posted: 19 Aug 2020 04:35 AM PDT So, I've been lifting and doing body weight training for years now and always had nagging shoulder pain from time to time. So I recently saw a video from a physical therapist about tilting the scapula back rather than pulling shoulders back... Comfortable feeling pushups for the first time in forever! Holy cow though, numbers went waaaay down. Pushups went from 50 to 16! Pullups went from 12 to 2 and I'm training negatives to fix what has been a massive scapular weakness I had no idea I was offsetting with weird shoulder mechanics. Feeling the tension in my back rather than in my shoulder is such a relief. Had to learn the lesson of aiming for better reps not more reps the hard way. Edit: Here's the video! it's linked at the time where he starts talking about the scapula activation cue https://youtu.be/ysZpy2LKYNs?t=200 [link] [comments] |

| [Advice needed] Fitness routine for a skinny guy? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 12:05 PM PDT Hey guys, I've never really exercised before. I'd like to reinforce my back muscles, core muscles and glutes in order to 1) be able to sit with my spine straight for longer period of times, 2) access some yoga poses that I've been eyeying for a while (handstands..). Here's the thing. I'm skinny, vegetarian, don't eat a lot and never really exercised as I said. I kind of came up with a routine I try to do 2-3x a week, but I have no idea if it's effective / optimal. I'm looking for advice on exercises and diet. The routine is: 2x sequences of 1 mn plank - 1mn reverse plank - 1mn slow push ups - 1mn abs crunches. I usually start struggling towards the end of the second set of push ups.. Some facts about me might be helpful. I had a body composition test and a dietician consultation out of curiosity. It says I'm 183 cm, 60 KGs, BMI of 17.9, with 10.8% fat, 50.9 KGs muscle mass, a metabolic age of 12 (metabolic rate of 1565 kcal). The dietician said I need to eat like 2,300-2,500 kcal a day, but that's just way more than I can eat. I'm vegetarian and probably get like 30-40g of protein a day. Sorry for the long post, hope you guys will have good advice ! [link] [comments] |
| My wrists are quite skinny and bony, is there any exercises I can do? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:36 AM PDT Hey! My wrists are pretty skinny and bony (and weak) compared to the rest of me, is there any exercises that will help? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Exercises to help with walking on my hands? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 07:29 AM PDT Hello everyone, longtime lurker here finally with a question of my own. I've decided this summer that being able to walk on my hands is a skill that's worth having, and I've actually made some decent progress. With a wall to kick up against, I can now walk about 3-4 meters out on a good day. I wouldn't call it controlled yet, it's more just me walking backwards in a direction until I lose my balance or my shoulders give out. I can get about 2-3 good runs in like that, but then my shoulders are absolutely exhausted and I can barely get away from the wall. Aside from practice, practice, practice, any suggestions on ways to strengthen the shoulder muscles I'm using, or even ab exercises that relate more to balancing upside down that doing crunches on the floor would be greatly appreciated!

| Am I doing something wrong If I am doing the old RR? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 12:08 PM PDT So I use this android app called 'BodyWeight Fitness'. It hasn't been updated since 2017. I've been doing the old RR and really enjoying it. Should I keep doing it or should I transition to the new recommend routine? Am I missing something? [link] [comments] |
| Should I slim down first or focus on building muscles? Posted: 19 Aug 2020 12:00 PM PDT I have struggling with having an exercise routine. I just got into bodyweight fitness due to the pandemic. I am slightly overweight right now but I want to be toned and build muscles. Should I focus on getting rid of the day first or just go straight into bulking up? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Aug 2020 11:04 AM PDT So basically I'm not doing much, every other day I do 3 sets of 15 pushups. At least that's the goal, but right now I can not even complete one set, so I try to do the rest on my knees. This means I go to failure every time, but I haven't really improved lately. Do I keep at it or am i doing something wrong? [link] [comments] |

| Stuck at L-sit Pull Ups. I Have Read The FAQ. Need Your Advice. Posted: 19 Aug 2020 10:19 AM PDT Hello everyone, I've been doing the RR for about 3-4 months. Till now I am very satisfied. I believe, that finally, I found my favorite exercising hobbies (calisthenics + jump rope). But I have a little problem. Let me explain it: I have achieved 3x8 bar pull-ups, so I have to move to the next progression, the L-sit pull ups. Sadly weighted pull ups is not an option for me. (No weights available, I do calisthenics home or at a park). While I've been doing the RR, my best friend had been doing his personal calisthenics workout and he decided to follow my routine. We have both stuck at L-sit pull-ups. Personally, when I try them, I think I will injure my left shoulder. I manage to do 5 L-sit pull ups, but with no perfect form. His opinion is to try whatever Chris Heria tells in that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hByjG7mymdw. Basically he says, try the hardest progression you can and then do 10 reps for each easier progression. I am against it, I prefer to keep RR as unchanged as possible, but I don't have something better to suggest. What is your opinion? BTW: I use rings too, so maybe L-sit pull ups are easier on them.
