    I feel ab exercises in my lower back instead of my abs

    Posted: 06 Aug 2020 03:18 AM PDT

    Hey guys, pretty much as the title says. I seem to feel most ab exercises I try (except planks) in my lower back rather than in my abs.

    Usually I feel the burn in my abs for a bit before my lower back takes over and I stop. I've heard this could be because I'm hip flexor dominant or because my core is just too weak so that my back takes over.

    Has anyone experienced and overcome this?

    Sometimes my left tricep starts to pulse by itself

    Posted: 06 Aug 2020 12:08 PM PDT

    If I don't move my arm my left tricep around short head starts to pulse by itself. If I move my arm it stops.

    I've also had some elbow pain and am taking a week off.

    Any idea what it is

    Will this kind of exercise help?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2020 12:12 PM PDT

    Hello guys, I have recently switched to a new job that leaves me really low on time along with my personal stuff. I was following the recommended routine but I really need to switch now unfortunately, is it okay if I do these two workouts at home (First workout is 4x pull ups + 4x push ups + 3x squats || Second workout is 4x dips + 4x horizontal rows + 3x squats) changing it every other day. All exercises are weighted in some way so I can do ~10 reps max. Is the volume enough to build muscle? Any help appreciated!

    My goal is just to stay healthy and fit, while building muscle at the same time.

    Just did a proper front lever!

    Posted: 05 Aug 2020 09:46 PM PDT

    I just did a front lever with proper form. I have a pullup bar next to a mirror so I can check out my own form and it looked perfect. Around a month ago, I first attempted a full front lever. I was able to do it but the form was poor. So I started training front lever 2 times a week, doing 20 reps and alternating between max tuck front lever hold and advanced front lever. I progressed rapidly and a month later, now I'm finally able to do a full front lever. Now my focus is on Planche and muscles ups 💪

    Advice for a 68 yr old dude

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 08:42 PM PDT

    Hi all and thanks in advance to all who respond, if anyone. I'm 68 (wow, don't know how that happened :)) I am 6'1, and weight about 165 on you. My body fat is around 20% but that's measured by my scale, so not perhaps accurate. I wear a 33x33/4 pant and do a large shirt. I feel completely stale and toxic, I have not exercised in 15 years or so. I don't feel fabulous about life, but it's not time to go.

    Here is what I thought; start walking semi-briskly on a daily base to the point I can walk longer distances. Follow this up by a walk/jog routine. As I feel I can do this with out passing out I want to try lunges, body weight only. Follow that up with some crunches and try to work in some push-ups.

    I remember doing tricep dips using a hotel chair, and at one time had been able to do a more-or-less horizontal planche for a whopping minute.

    Any suggestions as to books, manuals, U-Tube ways i can educate my self?

    Many Thanks
