- BWF Daily Discussion and Beginner/RR Questions Thread for 2020-08-23
- Sunday Show Off - Because it's perfectly fine to admit you're also doing bodyweight fitness to do cool tricks in front of people!
- Working out at the park jungle gym frowned upon?
- Back in the 1800’s when rings were first widely used for gymnastics, how did they go about learning the straight arm movements? We clearly have a better understanding of strength training now than we did then. How did they do it?
- What makes pylometris so hard?
- If you had to choose 3 different exercises, to do for the rest of your life, what would those be?

| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 02:47 AM PDT HEY YOU, Have you taken any recent pics of those sweet gains, your human flag, or those handstands off the wall you're finally holding? Do you have other bodyweight fitness accomplishments you've made and want the world to know about because your friends and family can't appreciate how hard L-sit progressions are?? This is the thread for you to share all that and inspire others at the same time! I'm talking about another S-S-SU-SUNDAY SHOW OFF!!

| Working out at the park jungle gym frowned upon? Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:24 PM PDT I'm a chubby guy who recently decided to get back in shape. I can't do full pushups from the ground because of a recent radius fracture, so I'm doing pushups off of other surfaces at an incline with a higher number of reps. I push myself til I can barely get in that last rep so I know the workout is working. The local park bench is a great spot for this. For pull exercises, I'm also too overweight to get in a full pull up, so I have to pull my bodyweight towards the jungle gym in order to strengthen my pull muscles, so I can start doing full pull ups when I shed 20-30lbs. The thing is, I was doing pushups off the park bench earlier today, and this rather fit gentleman walking his dogs stopped and said something about it like "Are you seriously working out at a childrens park?" Like I had done something disgraceful. I'm not harassing anyone's kids and hardly anyone actually plays at the park during the day. Actually no one was around at the time that I was doing this except for people walking by. Is it socially acceptable to do body weight exercises using the local park jungle gym? It's all I got. I actually own a door frame pull up bar, but the door frames at my apartment can not handle it. EDIT: Thank you for the support, I had suspected there was no problem with this. I would not work out there if there were actually kids using the jungle gym. He was not the first person to express disapproval that I didn't just have a gym membership, but when you're actually trying to improve yourself there will always be people who challenge your methods.

| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 09:58 AM PDT How did people learn the iron cross when they used to have not as good of an understanding of strength training? Did they just try attempt after attempt? Did they follow progressions? Obviously nobody here can speak personally about that, but does anybody know an elderly parent who did gymnastics when they were younger? A grandparent? Now, we have periodization, SSC, grease the groove and other scientific principles of working out. How did they manage back then? [link] [comments] |
| What makes pylometris so hard? Posted: 23 Aug 2020 06:45 AM PDT I'm do MMA and i decided to do some pylometric exercises to build up explosiveness. And because gym's are still closed. And we also don't do any pylometric exercises at all. My gym somehow focuses more on endurance and cardio (since BJJ is our main style) I just have finished some pylometric workouts (like only 6min in total without all the rests), and holy shit, i never had such an urge to vomit doing those (maybe because i also just had a feast before the workout lol) But this is insane. My legs, my shoulders were all burning as hell. It was so exhausting. 6 Minutes of working out. Just 6. Just what makes them so exhausting and hard? [link] [comments] |
| If you had to choose 3 different exercises, to do for the rest of your life, what would those be? Posted: 22 Aug 2020 06:34 PM PDT It has to be without equipment so you could do them anywhere. Running does not count as an exercise in this question. Your aim is to have a strong and functional body. Mine would be:
