| Finally achieved my first pull up - the feeling is unbelieveable Posted: 10 Aug 2020 08:39 AM PDT Hey r/bodyweightfitness, I started following this sub since the beginning of this year as I was trying to find a way to stay fit during these uncertain times. I initially started off with no equipment so the only exercise I did was the pushup. As a kid, the most amount I ever done in a single session was 40, so naturally, I wanted to first be able to do 40 strict military style pushups in a row. I eventually achieved this and I was more than satisfied with my progression. My personal best now is 50 pushups in one minute which I worked up to by always practicing pushups (and its variations) explosively. However, I realized that the feeling of 'finally achieving one rep' in the world of calisthenics is like crack; as once I experienced this euphoria, I knew I needed to delve further. The next goal was the one handed pushup. Which I progressed to using a combination of assisted one arm pushups, archer pushups and pseudo planche pushups. After a month of practicing these moves, I finally was able to push myself up from the bottom position with one arm - albeit with questionable form. The excitement that I enjoyed in that moment is something that I will never forget. In the weeks following my first rep, I worked my way up to 5-6 reps with both arms. Which brings me to the pullup. I have never been able to do a single pullup in my life. The hardest part for me was pulling out from the dead hang position. If I started in a slightly bent arm, active hang, I could pull myself up and lower my self in a controlled manner. To increase my strength, I used the resistance band progression method, and negatives - which I routinely did (3 times a week) for about 2 months. Last week, I tried to do a real pullup thinking I had the strength - nope. I still could not pull out of the dead hang. I felt like I had a nail in my shoulder when I tried pulling up. At that point, I almost gave up as I read others were able to achieve the pullup in a much shorter time. I simply felt that maybe the pullup wasnt designed for me as I was able to achieve other exercises in a shorter time. Today, I finally did it, I pulled out of the dead hang into the active hang, pulled myself over the bar and lowered myself back into the dead hang. I honestly didnt believe what I just did, so I did it again - which I confirmed that it was using strict proper form. Once again, that familiar feeling of excitement, and energy flooded over me. Just last week, I thought I was never going to be able to get it. I know two pullups isn't much for most people on this subreddit, but I literally feel so happy right now because this was an obstacle that I just could not overcome in the past and finally overcoming it is a dream come true. If there is one thing I learned from these experiences, its to never doubt yourself if you are doing the right things at the right times - because you will undoubtedly get it some time down the road.

| I'm researching the correlation between max pull-ups and the ability to perform the one-arm pull-up Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:14 PM PDT Hello everyone! I'm researching how many pull-ups are typically required to perform the one arm pull up. Additionally, I'm interested in learning how weighted pull-up 1RMs relate to the ability to do a one-arm pull-up. If you're interested in participating in this survey, you do so my clicking the link below: [link] [comments] |
| Back exercises/stretches for bad posture/scoliosis? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:55 AM PDT I want to do some stretches/exercises that will help with my scoliosis as well as my bad posture. Also, I'm doing the RR and every time I do squats my lower back hurts which I assume has something to do with my scoliosis. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:36 AM PDT Hi! I am doing a school project in which I have to ask questions to anyone involved professionally in helping people make lifestyle changes. It can be a coach, trainer, yoga instructor, or anyone else certified to help people be physically active. If you can answer any of these questions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

| Is there an adjustable stand for incline push ups anywhere? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 12:09 PM PDT Hey guys! I've progressed to the point of the counter top being too easy to do incline push ups on, but everything else I find is too low to the ground. Anything that is along the right height isn't sturdy enough. Is there an adjustable box or something that I could buy to consistently adjust to my progressions? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 11:54 AM PDT So I keep getting spammed with ads on pretty much every platform re this Hyperbolic Stretching program. The reviews all suggest it works well but is it actually offering anything that can't be found for free on YouTube? One of my goals is to be able to do the splits, is there anything this program offers that following the front splits mobility section of the skill day doesn't? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 10:53 AM PDT How would I be able to add HIIT workouts to my program? Any help will be appreciated :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 10:52 AM PDT If I could do front lever hold but I'm not training for muscle up right now ,could I do muscle up without specific training for the first attempts? regarding that the front lever is a harder pulling skill than the muscle up [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2020 10:40 AM PDT Hey ya'll, After I damaged my lower back four weeks ago i wanted to get back into training. Normally i do weightlifting/bodybuilding, but after my injury and because it still hurts a bit I wanted to try bodyweight exercises to get back into training and also to take it easy for my back. Today i did this: - 3x50 squats - 3x max push ups - 3x max chin ups - 3x max handstand shoulder press - 3x max laying leg lift - 3x max triceps dips - 3x12 concentration curls (yeah i know, no bodyweight) Is this, for bodyweight training, a good full body plan or do you have any recommendations? Training was very hard btw, I think because it requires way more coordination when using your body. 3x6 squats with weights feels like it is as hard as 3x50 bidyweight squats [link] [comments] |
| Protein powder and calorie intake Posted: 10 Aug 2020 10:35 AM PDT Hi folks, 44 y/o male 5'8, 137 pounds. I'm about a week into the RR. I eat pretty healthy--not a lot of junk food or sugar intake. About 3 months ago I started biking, I'm doing about 75 miles a week and find myself way more hungry that I usually am. I eat every couple hours. I'm guessing that makes sense since I am excercising a lot but wanted to check in. If yes, is there a recommended brand to buy? I'd prefer to stay with the safest and most natural if there was a choice. How often and in what dosages should I take it? I am working out 3X per week. Thanks! Nathan [link] [comments] |
| Jumping rope with water in mouth? Posted: 10 Aug 2020 05:05 AM PDT So I've heard about putting water in your mouth while running to increase diaphragm strength for better lung capacity. Would it be suitable for jump rope too? It's shorter interval and higher intensity... I still have the habit of breathing from my mouth from when I was swimming so I think that may help right?

| What do you guys think of (kind of) assisted pistol squats? Let me explain Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:28 PM PDT Hey guys! I've been weightlifting for almost a year now and ever since quarantine i've been using alternatives for all my exercises. To replace my back squat, I've been putting on a backpack with weights and carrying a rice bag to do a goblet squat. But recently my rice bag is no longer available for me, so i've been seeking squat alternatives. I tried doing pistol squats, but I can really only do a few(like 3) in poor form with my right foot and lack balance with my left foot. So instead, I'm doing pistol squats where I START sitting butt on the floor, then pushing up with only one foot. Is this an effective way to get better at pistol squats and a decent replacement for heavy back squats? I'd also like to mention that I do bulgarian split squats after these. Thanks! Edit:I'd also like to acknowledge that i know that in doing these assisted squats, I miss out on the eccentric part. The question still goes though once i'm able to do full pistol squats: is it an effective replacement for heavy back squats? [link] [comments] |
| Weight difference before and after workout. Posted: 09 Aug 2020 10:48 PM PDT So, for the past couple months I have been training using the RR plus some 2km jogging. I work out fasted and have my first meal for the day after I get home.Every morning I've been weighing myself every the moment I wake up and had a steady increase in weight. Yesterday the scale showed 69.1 kg (nice huh?). Today I forgot to weigh myself. So I did it after workout and the scale showed 66.5 kg. I guess It's normal as I can't loose 2.6 kg in a single night and will probably see the same weight tomorrow as I saw yesterday, but I am still wondering what is the explanation behind this.
