| I JUST DID 5 PULLUPS FOR THE FIRST TIME! Posted: 03 Aug 2020 03:47 AM PDT I've been following the the fitness plan on this subreddit all quarantine, and it is the first workout routine which has worked for me in the last 3 years of (in)consistently working out. The beginning of April I was able to do 3 half-assed chinups, where I'd start with my elbows at 90 degrees to my upper arm and would only reach about eye level on my rings. As I followed through with the routine, with lateral rows, straight hangs, and negatives, I have now progressed to a point where I can do about 5 real pull ups - dead hang to chin over rings! I have never been prouder of myself and am glad I found the guide here. I have also made considerable progress on dips and L-sits. My pushups have remained the same however as I have overtrained my pushing muscles in the past where they have considerably more definition than my pull group, although I did have gotten to a point where I can do 5 sets of 10 clapping push ups very well, I could do 5x10 regular ones before I started though. I can also do partial handstand pushups now! I love this community, and I strive to be as good as some of you doing advanced calisthenics movements like front levers and human flags. Thanks for all the motivation and guidance! [link] [comments] |
| Slow progress or the perception of slow progress Posted: 02 Aug 2020 04:26 PM PDT Sometimes I just get demotivated when I see people get amazing physiques and skills within what seems such a short amount of time... a full planche within 2 years of training? one arm pullup after a year? Fuck me.... And when you see some of the physiques? Austin dunhams physique is crazy after just what he claims is 3 years natural.... 3?!!? Are all of you getting these incredible transformations or are these all the outliers/vitamin S? [link] [comments] |
| Intermediate/advanced gymnastics ring tutorials? Posted: 03 Aug 2020 09:19 AM PDT Hey everyone, I started using gymnastics rings for the first time at the beginning of May to stay in shape while at home. It's been really fun and interesting to learn new skills. I'm not really doing it for strength gains, just to unlock skills and for fun. I'm now able to do most beginner and intermediate skills. And so now I'm wondering what's next. I would like to learn how to do forward and reverse rolls, and some swinging or kipping movements. But can't seem to find the progressions or good tutorial videos/ programs. Achievements: Most pull-up variations- just not one arm. Front lever- one leg bent, 20secs, full for 3-5secs Muscle ups- 3-5 normal L-sit- 30 sec Deep dips- 6 Shoulder stand Piked skin the cat Ring turn out support hold 45secs Need improvement: Back lever, Pelicans dips, Pelican push ups L-sit muscle up Planchette tuck Wide muscle up. Probably a lot of other push exercises. Right now my biggest weakness is full back lever. Doesn't make as much sense to me at FL does. Some people seem to find it easier, I do not! Anyways if anyone has recommendations to good progression tutorials, people to follow on IG or recommendations of cool combos to work towards, please send them my way. I'm looking for some new motivation. Thanks for your time. [link] [comments] |
| 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 [link] [comments] |
| Training outside in the winter? Posted: 03 Aug 2020 07:19 AM PDT Hey all, was wondering if any of yall still work outside when's it cold; fall/winter/snow. Really enjoying working outside, but wondering if I should continue once winter hits. I don't really plan on returning to gym until this whole pandemic is situated in the U.S... lol. Even then I've been falling in love with BW/cali. Currently just work out at a park or in front of my house. I dont really like working out inside my house due to atmosphere. Been also using makeshift weights( whatever is heavy; rice bags, water, car battery, etc) Your experience, thoughts, and advice would be helpful. [link] [comments] |
