| A Tip to get more out of your Sets, maintain proper form and Up the Intensity -> Intra-Set Rest ✓ Posted: 29 Aug 2020 02:28 AM PDT First of all, this is what worked FOR ME, for some of you it will work for others it might not make a big change, and that's okay! There are other ways to up the intensity of your workouts. Now, cutting to the chase this is what I wanted to share with you guys:
Two months ago I started to implement small Intra-Set rests of about 10-15s and I must say it has helped a lot in reaching a higher intensity threshold and even failure while maintaining proper form. Two exercises where the difference was really big where, (1) Pistol Squats and (2) Ring Dips. We know these exercises have a big balancing component to them and sometimes achieving failure and using "perfect" form throughout the set can be difficult and sometimes you wish you could do a couple more reps, especially if you are a beginner and balancing/equilibrium can be really difficult at first. Intra-Set resting allowed me to maintain better form and bang out more reps, for eg. I was at 19 Pistol Squats per leg, when I started to implement a 10-15s pause when my form was starting to not be "perfect" but still OK (around rep 15) I was able to then do another 9 reps with better form than if I had done the straight set, ending up doing 24reps total and reaching failure, arguably safer (?). I did this test on the Ring dips to and same thing came to pass. To further test this, yesterday I tested my straight set Pistol Squats and was able to bang out 18 "perfect" reps and 6 more with OK form putting my straight set total at 24reps (I am currently doing 30reps with the Intra-Set rest method), so I think it can also be used for strength and size gains. Would love to hear thoughts on this! Couple of notes I would like to leave here: - "Perfect Form" -> Pretty good form that would be considered safe by everyone without or with minimal to no shaking, controlled both Concentrically and Eccentrically.
Edit: Thank you SOO MUCH for the awards guys! Have a great day! [link] [comments] |
| Using Martial Arts breathing technique during workout Posted: 29 Aug 2020 07:24 AM PDT When doing pushups or pullups or any bodyweight exercise I have always focused on inhaling and exhaling routine when doing positive or negative part of rep. When reading Pavel Tsatsouline book The Naked Warrior I came across the breathing technique of 'breath strength' where you keep it tight, hold your breath (half full) as if when someone is punching you in the stomach. i.e. Do the workout holding your breath in your stomach. When I used this technique it felt more powerful and the workout much easier as compared to the traditional breathe in breathe out technique. Has someone followed the 'breath strength' technique? Let me know in the comment. [link] [comments] |
| What do you do during rests between sets? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 07:27 PM PDT Always done circuits but going to give strength training a try. I see 1-2 minutes is typical rest between each set...... god that's a lot of nose picking time. What do you do (or can do) that's productive between these sets? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Aug 2020 12:13 PM PDT What do you guys think of this full body plan i made? The workouts are to be alternated each session and performed a total of 3 times a week. The main goal here is hypertrophy. [link] [comments] |
| How much would a slingshot take the chest out of dips? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 08:05 PM PDT I want to do dips for chest growth, but even with strict form they really mess up my shoulders. I understand a slingshot can help alleviate shoulder stress, but would it also take out the chest from the movement? Even if you haven't used a slingshot personally, I'd appreciate your input based on your understanding of dip mechanics I have access to weights and a dip belt, so weighted calisthenics are a possibility. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| pike pushups with feet on parallel bars? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 09:49 PM PDT hey everyone, when doing feet-elevated pike pushups, I've always done them with my feet "hooked" onto a dip bar (about hip height). with this method, I can use my feet to pull against the bar to counterbalance my weight going forward at the bottom of the pike pushup (PPU). however, when trying feet-elevated PPU on a flat surface, I find that i always lose balance at the bottom and fall forwards should i continue doing PPU with feet elevated on parallel bars if my goal is to build strength for the HeSPU? or should i move to feet elevated on a flat surface?

| University Student Budget, Unfinished Basement, What are my Options? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 05:34 PM PDT Title basically says it all, I want to build a small home gym that will get me throughout the winter months (typically I go to a calisthenic park not far from my house). I live in Canada so those months tend to last a long time. I do also have access to a gym but I figure with school approaching, I figure if I have a small home gym set-up, I can get some work in even on my most busy days. I have a couple adjustable dumbbells and a barbell that has approx 80lbs of weight on it. I would like to either get a wall mounted pull-up bar or a ceiling mounted (what are your thoughts on this?), some parallettes, some dip bars but I'm not too sure where to go after that. I'm not very handy so I'm not entirely keen on building my own set (unless super easy?). What would you guys be looking at? In my basement, I don't have any dry wall on the walls or a ceiling of any sort (just wooden support beams and pillars). I would like to be able to use my rings as well in my basement. Any recommendations are welcome and are appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Best way to break max rep plateaus if greasing the groove isn't convenient? Posted: 28 Aug 2020 03:00 PM PDT I've been stuck on 9 pull-ups max for about a month and a half now. Before that I was adding one rep to that roughly once every two weeks by just following the RR. The go-to advice I've seen on this sub for increasing the max reps for any exercise is greasing the groove. Due to my work situation (really long days, no pull-up bar at work) GtG isn't a very convenient option for me at the moment. So other strategies I've considered include
In your opinion, which of these (or some other strategy) is the best way to increase max reps if GtG isn't on the table? [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight and Weighted Pullups In The Same Week Posted: 28 Aug 2020 05:00 PM PDT Would there be anything wrong with training high rep pullups and weighted ones in the same week (Monday BW and Friday Weighted?) By "anything wrong" I mean: * Would it be very effective? * Would it allow gains in both strength and endurance? I'm trying to maximize both strength and endurance gains in about 3/4 weeks and I am considering this method. Currently maxing at 16 BW pullups. 1RM pullup is at least in the 40s. Ultimately I want my 25lbs pullups to be around 10-15 and my BW to be at least 20. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
