| 1 year Body transformation from skinny to less skinny :) Posted: 26 Aug 2020 07:58 AM PDT Hi guys :) This is my first post on this sub, but I have been reading it regularly for advice on my own training. I just wanted to show you guys how I have progressed in the past year of exclusively bodyweight training. For reference: Before: 1.83cm 71kg 16 years old After: 1.86cm 75kg 17 years old I've always been a fit person, having played sports like Field hockey, football (Soccer) my whole life, but I always lacked upper body strength. At the start of my journey, I could only do 5 dodgy form push ups, and couldn't even do a pull up. I started how most do, doing push ups, australian pull ups/inverted rows, pull up negatives, that sort of thing. I always had strong legs because I was a leg day addict in the past, so I learnt the pistol squat pretty quickly, within a month. I did progress pretty well in the first 3 months, got up to 8 pull ups, 13 dips approximately, learnt the L-sit, but lost motivation pretty quickly because I wrongly believed that I was 'too good'. Yes I just said that. But around january of this year I got back into training hard, running A PPL, PPC split every week (Push , Pull, Legs) (Push, Pull, Cardio). Things were going well, and then Covid came and kinda messed things up, but I saw this as an opportunity to push things and work even harder. I invested in a pair of gymnastics rings and saw this as a chance to take things to a new level. Like most starting out on rings, I struggled majorly, but I eventually adapted, and am now performing some sort of advanced exercises. I did find it difficult to progress on statics mainly because of my height, but I managed to make some decent progress To show you how I have progressed overall: Start: 0 pull ups 5 Push ups 1 dip No-sit 0 pistol squats Absolutely 0 iron cross Absolutely 0 Back lever 1 year later: 1rm 35kg weighted pull up 1 RTO archer push up each side 1rm 48kg weighted dip Long af l-sit 5 reps 22kg weighted pistol squat each leg Ring assisted iron cross 5 seconds Straddle Back lever 7 seconds If you've read all of this, you have no life, just kidding haha, but thank you if you have read all of this. This sub-reddit has helped me immensely, especially advice from u/Antranik , u/eshlow, and countless others. I really hope this has motivated you that you can change yourself and your body immensely in just a year. I will attach a link to my transformation on YouTube if you'd like to take a look at it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdHkA2c-kwQ Thanks guys x [link] [comments] |
| My 2 years calisthenics transformation. AMA. Posted: 26 Aug 2020 11:07 AM PDT As the title states, completely natural transformation:Image comparison I would just love to share with you my transformation story and hopefully motivate some of you to grind even harder.Detailed video of the transformation:Here's the link to my transformation TL:DRWeight: 59kgs (130lbs) -> 76kgs(167.5lbs)1RM Pull up 76kgs (167.5lbs)1RM Overhead press 77.5kgs(171lbs) - Very good for handstand push ups1RM Dips 90kg (200lbs) - Very old measure only one year of training.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 06:25 AM PDT Hey guys. I've been doing the recommended routine for a little over a month now. I was a bodybuilder before I was diagnosed with brain cancer and had surgery to remove the tumor. They had to move my cerebellum, and my balance is off (so heavy weights are a no no). That was in 2016 and since I haven't been able to excercise like I want, so Ive got Jabba the Hutt bod going on. I have seen tremendous results so far with the routine and have seen my balance inprove as well. So, my question, I seem to have short arms and don't seem to have the length needed to get my body off the ground for an L-sit. I've started using dumbbells and have a 4x4 board that Im planning on turning into platforms. However, I wanted to check with you all and see if this is a common problem, or if I've just got bad form? From the videos Ive seen, it looks like I'm doing this right, but I'm new to calisthenics and therefore don't trust myself with the form yet. Thanks for your time and community [link] [comments] |
| Question about exercises for same muscle group Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:08 AM PDT Dumb question, I heard you should do about two exercises per large muscle group, but I don't understand if you should do them as seperate exercises or if you switch them between sets. Help would be much appreciated :) I would have posted this in r/fitness, but I couldn't for some reason see the rules (and nether did I get to see them here) so I posted here since the rule regulations are lower.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:15 PM PDT I've been doing RR for two months, and I still struggle with Ring Scap Pulls (3 sets of 7 reps with a 5 second hold at top). I simply cannot get an eighth rep in before I will move on to attempting 1 min Active hang. I think my body gives out because of poor breathing. Asking the geniuses in this subreddit about how exactly am I supposed to breath during the RR. Is there a general rule as far as breath in, hold, breath out? And how does this work when the guidance says to hold at top of exercise for five count such as scap pull, rows, etc. when I do ring roll outs I also find myself holding my breath to keep a hollow body, which causes me to lose strength. Thanks [link] [comments] |

| ladder/hand grip attatchments for beams? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:02 AM PDT Hi Guys, long time lurker here. I was hoping you guys might have some knowledge or point me in the right direction. I have a support beam in my basement that I use for nordic curls and what not with straps from my rings. Which works out not too bad because I can just move the strap over when its leg day. The beam, however, is far too wide for any hand grip, especially my tiny hands. Im no stranger to fabricating stuff, but was hoping yall knew of anything already manufactured or easily modifiable to support human flag training and other exercises. Ill try and upload a photo from mobile in a sec. The beam in question. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 09:19 AM PDT Hello guys, sometimes I ask myself if I'm doing too many exercises in my routine 3x5 - pull ups 3x8 - chin ups 3x8 - ring dips 3x30s. - ring support 3x20 - triceps dips 3x12 - wide rows 3x15s. - tuck front lever 3x12 - diamond push ups 3x8 - RTO push ups 3x12 - pike push ups 60secx3 - plank 3x12 - ring ab rollouts 3x12 - straight hanging leg raises 3x12 - copenhagen plank with movement 3x15 - arch raises Is it good or bad?

| New to calisthenics, want to be consistent but I'm terrible at creating plans. Can anyone help? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:59 AM PDT So I've been familiar with calisthenics for about 2 years and went from a weight of 88-91 in that time. The problem I have is quarantine hit and my interest went from exercise to online classes and YouTube binges. I never really had a schedule and it definitely hindered me quite a bit. Do any of you have any free programs or advice that could assist me? because it'd be nice to stay consistent over a couple of months to see how much a properly regimented program would actually help.

| Can I get hypertrophy with the Russian pull-up program? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:55 AM PDT I remember around 6 months ago, I did the Russian pull-up program, and went from 8max reps to 14 in just one month. I was wondering that if I do that (long term, like one year), and start to add weight once I reach, let's say, 10 reps on the first set, and go back down to 6 or 7 reps for the first set and keep progressing, what effect will it have to hypertrophy?

| Can't do tucked front lever pull up Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:21 AM PDT I can do around 10 pull ups, 13 chin up and more than 10 Bodyweight row but I still can't do a proper tucked front lever pull up. Do you guys know any progressions for tucked front lever pull up? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:19 AM PDT So basically I've always had a dream of doing human flag and I started practicing it at the beginning of the month and I can only do 3 to 4 seconds of tucked human flag. do you have any good exercises to improve oblique strength(except elevated side planks which I am doing) also I've been training calisthenics for 5 months and I can do 2 reps of dragon flag but no front lever yet.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:07 AM PDT Hi guys, does anyone know where I can find the recommended routine? I've looked for it everywhere but it's nowhere to be found. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Is the doorway bedsheet incline row at hip height equivalent to the horizontal row? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 09:29 AM PDT We don't have the Australian pull up bar at our gyms here, and I prefer to workout at home. I watched antranik's bedsheet row video and he says to progress by gripping the bedsheet lower and lower. I was wondering if holding it at hip height while doing the row would be a good substitute for the horizontal row/Australian pullup in the CC program. The only difference I see is the legs will be positioned right under the bedsheet with the row, whereas with the pull up bar you could bring your legs in front. Hard to explain without visual imagery but I think pros can tell what I'm talking about [link] [comments] |
| Probably a dumb question, but how can I stop my slipping rope from twisting too much when I skip? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:56 PM PDT I have one of those cheap plastic/nylon or (whatever material) slipping ropes and after about 30 the rope has shortened from twisting It stings a lot when it hits my back, which happens about every 30 and then I have to stop And ideas on how to stop this?

| Hey, just need some advise on improving myself. Posted: 26 Aug 2020 12:46 PM PDT Hello Everyone, I am not what you would call a fit individual, but I am trying to one day become physically fit. As of this moment, I have specifically focused on cardio (Jogging) and dieting and have gradually lost a total of fifty pounds. However, I now think that I am ready to try and put on some muscle. I've never done it before, so I don't necessarily have any idea as to how to go about doing it. Preferably, I would like to do so through calisthenics. If you all could help me get an idea as to how to make a descent workout routine, it would be greatly appreciated. Below, I have listed out my current attributes and what I would like to achieve.

| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:50 AM PDT Hey everyone! I've been having great success with BWF so far. I feel better and stronger than ever. I'm trying to access the Menu section to review the skill day exercises but it's giving me an error. I didn't see any posts about planned outages. Is it just me? [link] [comments] |

| Has anyone tried the Handstand Toolkit by Matt Smith? (or other online coaching) Posted: 26 Aug 2020 01:29 AM PDT I started my Handstand journey in ~March (Lockdown happened). I tried on my own with the help of YouTube videos but now I've hit a big plateau, I can balance for a few seconds freestanding but that's pretty much it. So, I've decided that I want to look into online coaching. My favorite so far is the Handstand Toolkit by Matt Smith bc they review your clips and give you direct feedback, it's from the beginning to one arm without a time limit and it has a kind of reasonable price (297£ - 330€ - 390 USD). Has anyone bought this program? And if so, did you like it? Was it worth it? If not, have you had any other online help/couches or did you do it without and think I should just continue and it's all going to be fine? Thanks in advance, stay strong! [link] [comments] |
| Hypertrophy with Russian pull-up program? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 11:11 AM PDT 6 months ago, I did the Russian pull-up program for a month. I went from 8 max pullups to 14. I was wondering if I did this for a year, and added external weight once my first set reached 10, and go back down to 6 or 7 reps for the first set and keep progressing, what would the effect be for hypertrophy? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 11:04 AM PDT I've been doing full body for about 7 weeks now and seen good results, I've just been thinking that upper-lower split would propably work for me. My question is, wich one gives more muscle growth? Full body or upper-lower split? [link] [comments] |
| Is hollow hold suppose to work on the back muscles too? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 10:10 AM PDT When I try to do a perfect hollow hold I feel my back is being worked on too. I'm I doing it wrong? [link] [comments] |
| How to incorporate running into a 5 day a week routine? Posted: 26 Aug 2020 09:31 AM PDT I am currently working on a bodyweight fitness routine for strength training 5 days a week. I've recently also had the desire to start working on my cardiovascular fitness and mile times as well, but whenever I look up running plans, they all (obviously) occupy 4-6 days a week. I have no problem with dedicating the extra time to running, but I've always heard that mixing strength training and cardio too closely is detrimental to your progress and gains. Is it possible to make gains with a strength program and do intense cardio while doing both on the same days, or is my best bet just to occasionally work in sprints and long runs? TL;DR: I'm unsure how to start training for running while also doing a strength program [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Aug 2020 08:47 AM PDT Been losing weight for almost a year now, with a few months of recomp in the middle. Measuring band calculators put me at about 14/15 percent bodyfat, not sure I trust that. Would like more definition in my abdominals, but I think that's more up to lack of muscle, and my body seems to not burn much more from that area last couple months, so I think it might be time for a change.
