| Posted: 09 Aug 2020 01:00 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??

| Petition for one extra progression be added to pullup progression. Posted: 09 Aug 2020 02:08 AM PDT I think the first pull up progression should be dead hangs like just hanging on a bar and working up to 3 sets of 1 minute because some people are just too weak even for scapular pull-ups like I was recommending the RR to a few friends but they were complaining that the scapular pulls are impossible for them because they cant even hang on a bar for a few seconds I think sometimes people underestimate how weak some people are.

| Anyone else see unexpected sudden rapid improvement in front lever or planche? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 11:25 PM PDT So I've been doing calisthenics for just over 3 years now, after 5 years of weight training and recently (in the past month) hit both a full ROM front lever pull up and a straddle (not perfect form) planche. I even attempted a full planche and could hold it somewhat with a bit of hinging for a second. This really surprised me - especially the front lever pull-up, because I had stalled on the static front lever and adv tucked front lever for almost 2 years. I couldn't get past 10 secs hold. I can't even remember for how long I've been doing advanced tuck FL pulls for (in fact I still do them as they're great and I find straddle FL pull almost as hard as full front lever pull). So anyway, it's pretty obvious that I'm quite pleased with my recent gains, however it still strikes me as odd that it's happened so suddenly. Being stuck on some progressions for so long gave me an expectation that any gains would be a sloooow process of adding more reps to each set, or adding a few seconds at a time to a static hold. Anyone else made recent gains and wanna share? Or perhaps you have a suggestion as to what you did to influence how it happened? My only inkling is that I started training iron cross on rings (can now do about 1/3 of the way down), which have somehow benefitted both my FL and planche strength. My workouts are quite fluid, I pretty much train what I feel like training which usually revolves around 1 static and 1 dynamic exercise, i.e. 4 sets static FL, 4+ sets FL pull. [link] [comments] |
| alternative to parallel bars support hold? (dip progression) Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:29 AM PDT I don't have parallel bars so I use 2 chairs, thing is, I have really small hands. I have the strength to hold myself up for an entire minute, but my palms hurt a lot so I just end up dropping down. Does anyone know any alternatives I could do instead of these support holds? I tried out diamond pushups but since I can barely do one normal pushup, its not exactly practical. [link] [comments] |
| My journey with working out at 6ft 5 (inc. RR) - 1 Year 4 Months of calisthenics and climbing Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT As the title says, I bought a gym membership and started training calisthenics 1st Jan 2019. I was sloppy with training for a few months during summer, only going to the gym every 3 weeks or so. I decided that when university started I would get back into it and I did and I've been consistently training 3x a week since September 2019, I have a pull up bar and rings which have allowed me to train all of the RR from home through lockdown and stay consistent. Stats and progress below: My stats in Jan 2019:
I have always been someone to research so it didn't take long to find the RR. I soon realised that many skills such as human flag and planche would be practically impossible at my height but I think I can get the full front and back lever eventually :) Intitial progressions with the RR:
As you can see, I started from pretty much the lowest progressions in many of the exercises. I had a little head start from the sports I have played throughout my life but I was still extremely weak due to my rapid growing in my teens. Current stats:
In this year and 4 months, I have put on approximately 10kg of lean muscle mass (I currently take creatine which increases my water weight by a kg or so. Taken into account.) Current progression of RR:
I never would have thought I'd achieve these results in this time, I saw the most rapid increases when I was consistent with my training and progressively overloading. This may seem quite obvious but I think people still need to hear it. Skills: Wall to free-standing handstand - 10sec (TRAIN YOUR HANDSTANDS ASAP)very close to handstand push up on the wallFront lever - Adv. tuck for 20secsBack lever - Adv. tuck for 5 secs (Don't ever really train it)L-sit - L-sit hold for 5 secs (This was such a challenge considering how long my levers are but felt so good to finally achieve it.)Tuck planche for 10secs on floorI have done a muscle up but I was quite drunk so I don't remember how much I jumped lol. I touch the floor on most bars :))) I would like to clarify that I have not trained the RR the entire time (only for approx. 6-8 months but I have gone back to it because I am still very much a beginner and still finding it easy to progressively overload). If you are thinking of starting bodyweight fitness and the RR, go for it! Photographing/videoing your progress can be a great motivator! Please ask me any questions you have if you are interested in the details of my training/diet, hopefully there are some more tall calisthenics athletes out there :D Edit: Forgot to mention that I started climbing in September with my uni and was climbing V4 before the gyms were shut.

| Do you think it’s possible to achieve front lever just by doing tuck lever? Posted: 09 Aug 2020 09:56 AM PDT I am training for strength with traditional push pull legs split but I want to work towards front lever. At this stage I can hold an advanced tuck lever for a few seconds. I am wondering whether training tuck lever and advanced tuck lever and progressing to one leg and straddled etc is enough to achieve front lever. Or whether I need to be doing specific supplementary exercises like ice cream makers etc. Would love to know if anyone has done this and if so what their frequency of training was and rest time and number of holds per session etc. [link] [comments] |

| Noob question looking for advice - Power Tower Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:23 AM PDT Hi! I need some advice about a Power Tower. I've been in strict quarantine since march and this seems is not going to change anytime soon in my country. I live in a small apartment and I am starting to sense my body is suffering a lot, I lost what I gained when I used to go to the gym. I recovered my mood and I want to get healthier again under these conditions. I didn't know the existence of these Power Towers and it seems one could fit in my room and I can afford them. Would be this a wise move? Some caveats or advice for warming up? Are there any better options? I can't get these bars for the door, because in this rat-cage I rent the door frame seems to be very weak and the owner can get mad. I am nothing like a gym pro, in fact I am very noob. Nor fat, nor skinny but I would like to get stronger and feel healthier. Thanks for any help! [link] [comments] |
| Good affordable freestanding pull up bar? Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:14 AM PDT I currently own a shitty doorframe pull up bar and every time im on it I'm worried that it'll fall. Im currently looking for a freestanding pull up bar like the Stamina 1690 Power Tower which I heard was pretty decent. I can't really find anything online about this so I wanted to know if there are any better options or your opinion on the 1690. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Best bodyweight-only pull-up program Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:01 AM PDT I've been out of the gym for several months now, and have been getting into more calisthenics. Right now, my biggest focus is on increasing my bodyweight pull-up. I have access to a ledge outdoors to do pull-ups. Can currently do around 12 clean pull-ups, and have had moderate success with the Armstrong program in the past. Any thoughts on:
Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:10 AM PDT I'm doing a lot of cardio in the morning and circuit training in the afternoon. Could someone recommend any supplements I should be taking for more energy and better results? I've only been using vitaform at wake and zmx before bed [link] [comments] |
| Keto/intermittent fasting combo Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:05 AM PDT [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2020 08:56 AM PDT I'm looking for for a body weight WOD sent to my email daily. My goal is to workout for 15 minutes and don't want to think about routine planning. A plus is if the newsletter would include additional health and fitness tips. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] |
| Gymnastics makes kids short? Does bwf have similar consequences? Posted: 09 Aug 2020 03:30 AM PDT Hey guys I recently came across this article talking about how gymnastics doesn't stunt height. however, if you scrolled down to the comments section, a comment by "Rae" mentions that gymnastics did stunt his/her growth and the growth of other fellow gymnasts now, I know most people doing calisthenics aren't clocking in as many hours as pro gymnasts, but could it cause stunted height growth as well?

| Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:27 AM PDT Este curso esta diseñado para personas que sienten interés por el Yoga pero aún no se animan a probarlo y para personas que llevan poco tiempo practicando Yoga. [link] [comments] |
| Do you guys recommend HIIT or LISS? Posted: 08 Aug 2020 07:27 PM PDT I'm attempting to do cardio and I am not sure which is better to do. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Question about Fighter Pullup Program Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:44 PM PDT when embarking on the fighter pullup program, do I still do other pull workouts for the duration of the program? or am I supposed to leave out all pulling movements (except pullups) until I'm done w the program? thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 01:40 PM PDT 32 M, 5'8", 170 lbs. I've been doing the RR for just over 2 years. No previous strength training experience. Not amazing gains like some of the younger bros I see on this subreddit, but enough for friends and family to notice. My favorite part about this routine is accessibility. I just finished a workout from home at noon on a Thursday, while simultaneously caring for my 3yo who is potty training and my 6mo old who is teething. Just wanted to say thanks to this community for helping me to fend off the inevitable march of father time. [link] [comments] |
