| 1 year of handstand attempts - what I've learnt Posted: 08 Aug 2020 04:14 AM PDT I couldn't handstand when I started in august last year. I was also bad with sports. Started with very basic stuff - wall planks. I kid you not, I could barely hold myself up there for more than 15-20 seconds. First few times I couldn't even move closer to the wall. But slowly, with practice, patience and persistence - it happened. Climbing down from the wall was very scary. I fell a few times but not badly, never hurt myself. Little by little I noticed increased flexibility in my hips from learning how to climb down. After a few months (maybe 3-4), I noticed I could hold a full hollow body hold for a minute without problems. Something I've never been able to do. That was the time that I noticed I could do a bad version of front splits too (something I could never do before either). Little by little I learnt how to kick up, keep my body in one line, stretch properly, do cardio, flexibility exercises, light yoga and bodyweight fitness. I am happy to say that now I am training for oversplits, I can do basic holds of 5-6 seconds freestanding, pancake, pike, do a proper push-up (but need to work more on that) and I'm somehow proud of my achievements. Helped me with mental health a lot as well. My point is, if you don't see progress with exercise - take it slowly, wait it out and do not think about the end goal so much. The journey is far more important. Keep going. :) [link] [comments] |
| When do you start the “Cut” phase for body recomp? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:24 AM PDT I've been trying to build muscle for the past eight months, but since I want to get lean, I haven't done cardio until I felt I've finished my "Bulk" period. When should you start the "Cut" period? Is it related to when you've reached a certain strength level or a certain BF percentage? [link] [comments] |
| Do slow reps help you build more muscle? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 11:24 AM PDT I hope this isn't a noob question but do slower reps help you build more muscle? I went from doing 15 pull-ups to 3-4 sets of 8 slow rep, and I feel a slight difference. [link] [comments] |
| Negative pull ups while supporting myself with one leg Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:32 AM PDT Only place at my home where I can do negatives is next to a wall on which pipes run. I don't want to damage anything so I need to support myself with my toes on one leg. Can't do more than 3-4 negatives in one set. Question is will I still be able to progress that way to regullar pull ups? My BMI is 27 and falling, so I'm pulling more weight now then I expect to be pulling 1-3 months from now [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:30 AM PDT I'll be starting out as a beginner. My goal is to naturally bulk up to my maximum genetic potential. I have a few questions to ask - 1) Is it as simple as intense workout and eating in massive quantities, or is there something else to the equation? 2) I have terrible posture (elevated right shoulder + rotated torso + slight nerd neck), which is a result of bad writing habits. Should I fix that before joining a gym, or is it not necessary? 3) Is it possible to get the same results only with bodyweight exercises at home, or should I definitely join a gym? As an introverted college student I currently have neither the money nor the appropriate courage to join one. If I supposedly join a gym, is it always necessary to take help from the trainers? And does someone bother you when you're not doing an exercise correctly? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:44 AM PDT Does anyone know any good ones? And I mean anything from 2000 and before, not new or modern ones. I know there's a bunch of good books for weights, and I know many of the principles are the same, but I would really like to find a book that is specifically about bodyweight/gymnastic training that details and shows you how to master it and how to go about your programming, training etc. [link] [comments] |
| How to minimize rotation during a one-handed pull-up? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:28 AM PDT Today I had a training session where I tried out the one-handed pull-up where you hold your wrist with the other hand. I was rotating like crazy and eventually ended up in a neutral grip instead of an undergrip/overgrip (I tried both). I would like to ask how I can minimize or stop this rotation. I feel like I have the necessary strength to perform this exercise correctly, but I can't because of the rotation. Any tips are appreciated and thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2020 08:41 PM PDT What are the benefits of training my grip strength, rope climbers, naval rope ? Seems pretty fun as well [link] [comments] |
| Any endurance workout routine? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:06 AM PDT Im looking to get high number of reps in pullups, pushups. My current max for pullups:13. My current max for pushups:38. I want to get 20++ pullups. I want to get 60++ pushups. [link] [comments] |
| how will these things effect my physique Posted: 08 Aug 2020 11:59 AM PDT so here's some background , i'm a 17 year old M , 143 lbs , and have always been a sportsperson ( if that matters ) . so , since the quarantine , i've started doing bodyweight workouts , mixed with the band sometimes. and when it comes to exercises themselves , i have no issues . however , i noticed that when i follow my schedule ( 5 days workout and sunday and saturdays for football ) , i look pretty good till friday , however i somehow start looking much thinner and with decreased gains after a couple of hours of football . i wonder what's the reason for this . also i only get around 5-6 hours of sleep everyday so that might have a hand to play . anyways , any insight on why it's happening would be really helpful , and if you could suggest few things to correct it , well then it would be an added bonus .

| This article clailms you can get big legs with Just bodyweight, this Is the routine Posted: 08 Aug 2020 11:59 AM PDT https://www.t-nation.com/workouts/no-weights-big-wheels I'm going to try It and report in 2 months, also i would like to know how you would make it harder once you get the 500 Lunges, i was thinking about doing the same but with alternating pistol/shrimp squats progressions instead of lunges [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:06 AM PDT When I do the ankle mobility wall test I can drive my knee forward approximately 5 inches when lunging and even more when standing. When I try to get in a bodyweight squat howevee my knees will barely drive forward and Im barely using any of that new ankle mobility. I used a plate to elevate my heels to see if maybe ankle mobility wasnt issue, but I got into a deep bodyweight squat nicely. Hip hinge and knee drive, grab floor with feet but still cant get to parallel without leaning excessively forward. Should I just keep working on ankle mobikity? Whats wrong? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:45 AM PDT OverviewHey r/bodyweightfitness, Despite having access (and paying for) a college gym membership, I want to avoid the rec center as much as possible due to COVID concerns. For the next few months I plan on working out in my dorm. I don't have a lot of experience with calisthenics as I have traditionally done a PPL weight lifting routing. So far, I have grabbed a door-frame pull-up bar and an ab wheel and plan on following the recommended routine with slight adjustments due to equipment and time concerns. What I have created is not ideal, but I think consistency is more important than programming, and I just need something simple to get me through the next few months. That being said, I was wondering if you had any suggestions / improvements upon my routine? Thanks in advance for any help. Routine
GoalsCurrently, I am 6'1'' at 170lbs. I don't have a specific weight goal in mind, but I would like to lower my body fat percentage while staying between 170 and 185lbs. I mainly just want to be healthier as I have a fairly sedentary lifestyle / career. I also have posture issues (moderate anterior pelvic tilt) that I would like to iron out. This is due to a weak core / hamstrings and tight quads. The yoga video I am substituting the hinge progression with does wonders for addressing this issue and feels amazing. ConcernsObviously the dip substitution is sub-par. The rep scheme is entirely different than anything else programmed, but there is really no way for me to achieve progressive overload, so I just went for volume. The percentages on the first and second set will adjust over time. I don't want to over exert myself and risk rhabdo or anything like that. Would handstand pushups be an adequate substitution for this vertical pushing movement? Any suggestions here for alternate programming would be greatly appreciated. Also, any additional hinge work would be helpful. I am not willing to substitute out the yoga since it greatly helps the specific issues I'm trying to address, but I wouldn't mind adding in other work. [link] [comments] |
| Getting back to working out at home? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:31 AM PDT I used to go to the gym 6 times a week. Had a decent bench press of around 215lbs and squat of 275lbs. I am right now 18 years old. At the time I was at my peak I weighted around 157lbs. This was a year ago or around there and I have stopped working out and I haven't been going to the gym consistently for a year now. I do some stuff here and there at home as covid is now present. I wanted to start working out again at home without any equipment as I can not go out of my house right now. Any ideas as what plans to follow and workout routines to follow and all of that. Consider me almost a beginner as I have not being working out a lot and I do not know how bad is my strength right now but I weight 142lbs now. [link] [comments] |
| Best weight-lifting routines anybody knows to transition into? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:00 AM PDT So I have been doing the RR for a few months now and plan on it until at least the end of the year or until things calm down and I can step into a gym again. It's good, but I still love lifting whatever weights I have at home way more. I add on some bicep curls at the end of the RR and I always look forward to it. Should I look into certain types of routines that will be a better transition from bodyweight? Or does it not matter and I should just start any good basic weight-liftng routine? I guess if there are ones that people follow that work the same muscle groups as the RR so it doesn't feel like I'm at square one again. [link] [comments] |
| How to do wide pullups and pulling high? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 09:54 AM PDT Should i count a rep where my chin goes barely over the bar when doing wide pullups??. While if i do a narrow grip i can get my neck over the bar far easily. And how can i improve the height on my wide pull up? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:56 AM PDT Hello, I have been researching creatine supplements here in Korea, and I found this one which is quite popular with high ratings. The problem is I couldn't find any mention of the brand or the supplement anywhere else on the internet. Does anyone know whether this is any good? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else finding diamond push ups uncomfortable? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:40 AM PDT I always incorporate diamond push ups in my workout. But for some reason I find them very uncomfortable for my palms. When I do the push ups, all the pressure is applied onto the outer side of my palm. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong or if it just has something to do with my wrist flexibility. I was in the middle of a workout when I decided to do this post. I got a large scratch on my left palm only by doing diamond push ups. I'm aware that I did it on concrete, but should that really cause scratches? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Aug 2020 08:33 AM PDT If you train front lever planche than victorians will you injure yourself at the end,i mean will your tendons run out?can you over train them? And is it normal that your tendons hurt a little just from basic exercises like pull ups dips but done correctly. [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations for larger individuals starting out Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:58 AM PDT Hello! I'm a male in late 20s around 350lbs currently. I've been working on nutrition so that number will continue to decrease as time goes on. My question being is there anything I should do flexibility wise as I have some mobility issues I simply can't overcome until the weight is reduced? This also plays into the safety of the exercise which I'll be doing the RR as suggested in the wiki. The RR looks good for beginning my bwf journey. If anyone has any tips regarding starting this out as a larger individual and maybe providing a fairly basic stretching guide (a yoga routine is also acceptable). I enjoy researching but, a little direction on this one would be great. [link] [comments] |
| Anterior pelvic tilt - tips and tops Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:50 AM PDT Anyone dealt with it effectively? I would like to get the "know how" Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| How people progress so quickly with planche and levers Posted: 07 Aug 2020 05:19 PM PDT I'm wondering how some people progress so quickly with their Cali skills! I see so many YouTube videos where people learn full planche in like 8 months! And front lever in like 4! I've been training both consistently for 6 months now and I'm stuck on a planche which is in between tuck and advanced tuck and a very shitty straddle front lever! Does it have anything to do with genetics? Because I'm not heavy at all (60kgs) and only 5'6. Or is there some special secret I don't know about... please if anyone has anything to help that would mean the world to me. [link] [comments] |

| Can you recommend a good beginner routine? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:38 AM PDT I have access to a dip stand and a wall mounted pull up bar. My goal is to build musscle and lose fat. I can only do around 5 pull-ups in a set for now. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
