| Is getting heavier an adequate form of progressive overload? Posted: 07 Aug 2020 12:14 PM PDT I ask this question both in general and in my specific case: Is doing the same progression of an exercise, but increasing bodyweight by bulking an adequate (though temporary) form of progressive overload? My specific circumstance: I bulked to 160 and then cut until 3 weeks ago, taking me down to 145. I'm on week 3 of Daniel Vadnal's Body By Rings program, and I've bulked back up significantly already, currently sitting it around 152 (I think I'm bulking too fast). I've noticed the change in a few exercises, like Mantle Pullups (Uneven rings; working arm supinated, assisting arm pronated), Archer Rows, and Bodyweight Bicep Curls. I have been unable to increase volume or intensity from week 2 -> week 3 so I assume this is because I weigh more. As long as I'm working close to failure, is this fine? Curious to what this means in terms of progressive overload. Cheers. [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] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2020 01:33 PM PDT My home pull up bar is too close to the ceiling so I can't really do any negatives and I want to get a muscle up in around a week, any muscle up workout routine? I can already do 17 pull ups max so I hope this won't be that unachievable 🤞🤞🤞 All help is appreciated ☺️ [link] [comments] |
| Training without a gym for the past few months (as a former weightlifter) Posted: 07 Aug 2020 01:26 PM PDT Hello Everyone! I wanted to write this post for those who are interested in bodyweight training, and are thinking about doing more of this as opposed to other styles of training such as weightlifting. Because of this quarantine I have been training without weights since April, and it has been an interesting experience. From pretty much only lifting weights for the past couple of years, I used to think that it was superior to bodyweight training, however that is not the case. Using gymnastics rings, I have mostly maintained my upper body strength and also have gotten stronger in other aspects such muscle and core stability which is one of the biggest benefit of rings. Also, my first session with the rings was truly humbling, as "simple" exercises like pushups, pull-ups, and dips were 10x harder then without rings. I discuss my experience more in depth on my YouTube channel (linked below), but I can honestly say that's if you are considering switching up your training don't be afraid to mix bodyweight exercises in there! This especially includes gymnastics rings. Thanks for listening! YouTube: https://youtu.be/XzsOIMOtTrw [link] [comments] |
| I have two weeks for my max plank Posted: 07 Aug 2020 10:27 AM PDT Yesterday some teammates and I had a competition to see who could hold a plank the longest. I got third I 7:10 without any training with the winner going about 8:30. I'm 17M and 6'2" & 160lbs (188cm & 73kg) if that makes a difference. In the past I've gotten up to 10 minutes without much training, just some short planks and pushups but I want to try and maximize my ability and maybe go even 15-20 minutes. I wanted to know if I should do workouts along the lines of 4x 3min w/ 5min rest or 2x max hold w/ 5min rest. I have two weeks before the next rematch and I am very competitive so I need to win. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2020 09:04 PM PDT What are some key things to point out for hanging leg raises to know if you are strong enough to do them properly. I hear so many people go back and forth saying "your core isn't strong enough" or "your hip flexors are too tight" how can we learn do recognize the difference when doing hanging leg raises? Is core strength or hip flexors more important in hanging leg raises? Lastly what can we do to fix these problems? [link] [comments] |
