| Posted: 30 Aug 2020 10:40 PM PDT Hi guys, just wanted to ask yall if the door pull up bar is sturdy? I'm not talking about the one where you hang on the doorframe, I'm talking about the one where you pull out the sides so it fits in between your doorway. I found some on eBay for fairly cheap so just wanted to know if you guys had any experience with it. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Rounded shoulders, anterior pelvic tilt and nerd neck routine Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:08 PM PDT Hi everyone, I'm in search of a routine to fix my terrible posture. I'm aware of the fact that nothing beats consciously having a good posture throughout the day but I'd like to know if anyone found something that worked. Thanks for your help. [link] [comments] |
| How far down should I be going on my push ups? Posted: 31 Aug 2020 10:27 AM PDT I realized today that I have a habit of going pretty much chest-to-floor when I do push ups. This means that at the very bottom of the movement, I tend to push my shoulder blades out. I find that this puts some strain on my back, but hardly any strain on my chest and triceps. I think it may be the reason why my shoulders burn out before I can get a good chest workout anytime I'm doing a push up routine. I tried doing a few reps where I stopped right before shifting the strain to my back and I noticed I felt it alot more in my chest. So, should I not be going so far down? I have a feeling I shouldn't, but I guess I just want to validate it [link] [comments] |
| A Compilation Of Free Calisthenics Workout Programs Posted: 31 Aug 2020 11:40 AM PDT After reviewing a bunch of paid calisthenics programs back in December 2019 (see this post) , I thought I'd research what free workout programs there are available online, and compile a list of what I could find including:
I've compiled a list of 9 free programs here but I'd be keen to add to that list if anybody can recommend some other online calisthenics workout plans which are free? (Yes, it includes the RR!). I have to admit I was surprised at how little there was available when looking on Google. So many things are listed as 'plans' but are barely more than a single workout! I also remember there been quite a few paid plans that were temporarily given away for free earlier this year when most countries were in a lockdown, but looking back through the sub it would appear that is no more. Has anybody found any success elsewhere that they'd recommend I add to the list? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:16 PM PDT hi all, I've been training to do a Planche for the past 9 weeks or so. I have a set of parrolette bars and I can hold myself in a lever position for a good while and I can raise my legs while bent backward (not to 90 degrees yet) for roughly 10 seconds. I feel as though im hitting a wall here though and might need to train in more specific ways than just using the ground and these bars. I have been doing regular bodyweight strength exercises 3-5 times a week as normal and I've been adding 10-15 sets of the longest I can hold the farthest progression on the bars, and then 5-10 sets on the ground each day I exercise (I sometimes switch ground vs bar sets). I was hoping someone could help me. I really want to be able to do a full planche and if there are other exercises to help or any tips on breaking through a planche Plateau id really appreciate it! thanks a bunch! Edit: clarifying sets and days. [link] [comments] |
| What are good calisthenic workout routines (full body) for developing primarily strength? Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:18 PM PDT I want to build a body that focuses on strength building. I also want to have a lean shredded physique so fat burn exercises would be nice too. Whats also a good meal plan to follow? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:04 PM PDT Hi guys it's my first time here and after reading the RR i got a question. I'm training since a year with calisthenics with a lot of breaks and little consistency. Now during the lockdown I started to pick it up again and created a regiment for myself. I'm doing a Push/Pull Split 6 times a week so my only rest day is sundays. Is this enough for Hypertrophy as I train every group 3 times? Because I like shorter workouts and have enough time throughout the week to train 6 times. For Push I'm doing: -Dips -Pike Push Ups -Diamond Push Ups -Tricep Extensions -Push Ups And for Pull: -Pull Ups -Chin Ups -Rows -Ring Bicep Curls -Reverse Flys [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:24 AM PDT I've been training calisthenics for 6 months now after 6 months in the gym. My pulling strength was my weakness (a year ago I could do 6 bw pull ups) but now it's better than my push. I can do 13s straddle front lever on rings, 2 straddle fl pulls (dead to inv. hang) and My weighted pull up is 55% bw (40kg) for 4 reps. I've been doing some assisted oap with different height on the rings (a lot of difference) and yesterday I could do 2 assisted oap with the other hand on my bicep. My question is: Does anyone know if the hand on bicep progression is almost as hard as a oap? Am I close to achieveing it? Any tips or suggestions are also welcomed. BW: 73kg Height: 1.77m [link] [comments] |
| After workout: ice bath, bad. Cold shower, ??? Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:59 AM PDT Science says ice baths are bad for muscle growth. How about a 1-2 minute cold shower? After 2 years of cold exposure and WHM, I actually hate hot showers. With kids, life, and work I can't just not shower and walk around all sweaty. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Aug 2020 12:51 PM PDT Hi guys, Let me give you some stats Now: 32, 170cms, 63kg, skinny fat as f around the waist, hip lower belly. No regular exercise. Tired for a few minutes from climbing the stairs. Can perform 3 ring pull-ups (pull to chin variation) (no way to measure bar max at home) and 16 pushups max. Past (6 months back): 58kg was gaining about an inch of waist a year for the past couple of years. Regularly casually played basketball and badminton, and sometimes for corporate tournaments. No dedicated workouts though. Could run 10k in 56 minutes if I pushed. 7 bar pull-ups (didn't measure ring) max and 30 diamond pushups. Clearly I've gained a lot of fat and/or lost strength/muscle mass. I need to get back into my former shape or better with no belly fat. Is it possible at this age? If so, what should I be doing? Now, I have rings and perfect width stairs from where I can perform dips. I started with (2 pullups, 8 shallow dips, 5 assisted single-leg squats, 10 easy-mode rows, 10 pushups) x 3 sets twice a week. Is this a good start? Please suggest any programs/routines etc. for lean bulking. I'm a vegetarian btw and I've been a fking glutton during the lockdown, emptying kilos of junk food a day - chips, cookies, and any oily, doughy food ..... Thanks in advance everyone.

| Further to my post earlier about thick pull-up bar vs standard pull up bar. Image attached! Posted: 31 Aug 2020 05:01 AM PDT A few people requested an image once it was up, she isn't much to look at, but she'll get the job done. I added rings after the photo was taken. Still a lot of options I can build off of this! Very excited [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight workouts with weight Posted: 31 Aug 2020 11:23 AM PDT I am a 15 year old male. I am not a fan of working out with weights. That is one of the reasons i choose to work out using only my own bodyweight. But, i have been doing it for a while now, and i have seen some huge change, but i think it's slowing down a lot. I have been working out consistently the last 2 and a half months, plus i have been keeping my diet pretty neat. I know the progress slows down after a while, but i just think it has gone pretty fast. I am seeing a lot of transformation videoes, and their body just keeps on getting better. But, here comes the question. Is it a necessity to add weights to your different exercises, to get stronger and bigger? I know i can get bigger and stronger without using weights, but i mean will it be a necessity in the future? Or can i just keep doing harder variations of the different exercises? Also, my diet is not as clean right now because i just started school and it's a bit stressful. Trying to be healthier though. That might be part of the problem. Sorry this was so long, and sorry, my english might be bad. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Feeling demotivated about fitness and building muscle/strength Posted: 31 Aug 2020 07:30 AM PDT Mods, i beg you, don't delete this post atleast. This is the only good place to discuss this subject, r/fitness is the last fitness subreddit i or anyone would go to. This post is not about bodyweight training, but more on general fitness. Lately, i have begun to feel demotivated about working out and building muscle and strength. The reason for this is the subject of steroids. Let me explain why. The problem is, everywhere i go on the internet, every fitness or a muscular guy i see, he is accused of being on steroids. It has become the norm for every commenter, whether he/she works out or not, to write any guy who has attractive muscles, is ripped and amazing strength of using steroids. Because of this, i have begun to think that getting muscular like lots of the guys on internet and actors and strong is impossible without steroids. Yes, it is possible to increase body size, including arms, but that can only happen with eating more. I definitely don't wanna look like Arnold or Ronnie Coleman, their sport needs that look but i don't. I do realize that MOST, yes, MOST influencers on the internet are probably on steroids. But the problem here is the norm i mentioned of accusing everyone of being natty. Another problem i have is whose fitness advice should i follow. Yeah r/bodyweightfitness is a must but for more information on lots of things, i follow Athlean X (Jeff Cavaliere) predominantly. When i began my fitness journey, i didn't know what to do. There was SO much advice and tips out on the internet. I was so overwhelmed. There was so much BS out there. Then i found Jeremy Ethier and Jeff Nippard, these guys were a sigh of relief for me. They gave every advice with scientific evidence. I still watch them. But the fitness guru for me is none other than JEFF CAVALIERE. He really saved my life and prevented me from being overwhelmed and demotivated. The Guy is 45, very ripped and muscular. I didn't even believe he was over 40 until he told his age. But there is another problem about Athlean X if you have been aware of the fitness community happenings: He was accused and found using fake weights. For me and most people, i don't care if he uses fake weights. He is mostly using them for demo cause he can't lift his max shooting a VIDEO! But now he is also being accused of using steroids!. Especially two channels which are mostly dedicated to bashing him, 'Enkiri Elite Fitness' and 'Curlean-X', the latter is the one dedicated to exposing him. These channels are making me feel discouraged. Even Greg Doucette(its his job) is saying he is on steroids. I can't fanthom Jeff using steroids, the guy has been training over 20 years, has a masters in physical therapy, has worked with lots and lots of popular athletes and has learned a lot from his experience with these athletes. He can't be using steroids, he just knows more. But i have now begun to think in the back of my mind that achieving a physique like him is impossible without steroids. Heck any aesthetic and functional physique is impossible. I am 15 year old skinny boy, that has been working out for two years, doing push ups and pull ups mostly along with some leg exercises. I haven't made much gains because of regular inconsistency and lack of progression, especially with push ups. What my goal is to, number 1: Build an extremely functional body like a Navy Seal or a special forces soldier, and number 2: Get extremely strong. 3. Get an aesthetic and muscular body, not wanna get extremely lean, maybe remain at 9-12% BF. For this purpose, i intend to combine calisthenics/weighted calisthenics and weight training, i intend to join a gym in one year, studies are really hard now. I also want to run long distances, swim long distances. Not like a marathoner, just not too much. Because of this steroids issue, i think i am doomed to look like maybe an average guy or higher than average guy with FEW muscles, basic strength forever in my life. I am not saying i will stop working out, it's just self doubt i have. Is it possible to build muscles and be strong, for example, like Jeff Cavaliere, David Laid and Jeff Seid(I KNOW that they are on steroids, just want to get muscles that are close like they have) [link] [comments] |
| Will adding cardio to my routine burn fat instead of muscle? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 09:35 PM PDT I have been slowly incrementing my exercise routine over the past 2 months. I went from no exercise to doing 100 push-ups every day. I eventually bought a pull-up bar and have included 20 of those each day as well. I noticed that my energy level is still rather low when climbing stairs since I don't have a cardio routine and haven't been doing an actual HIIT or other routine to help build muscle or help with aerobic endurance. My goal is to ramp myself up to adding muscle to my chest, back, and arms. I should probably say legs too, but I don't really care about that as much as I probably should. I have been monitoring my calories for about 2 or 3 weeks to get an idea of how many calories I can afford to eat and still be near a deficit. I also just realized that I should try to increase my protein to be near my bodyweight in lbs (168) each day. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. I'm thinking of running first thing in the morning, 3 days per week but I want to know if it will burn fat rather than muscle. Should I run on an empty stomach? My run will likely only last 15 or 20 minutes by circling my neighborhood. Let me know if you have any suggestions for me. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Anyone try climbing with ring straps? Posted: 30 Aug 2020 08:55 PM PDT basically title, I've been wanting to do rope climbing for a while since it seems very fun, but can't find any that can attach to a tree or something high enough outside. I know the grip probably isn't the best, but anyone have success with it? [link] [comments] |
