    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??

    Is my daughter (5) a freak?

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 03:38 PM PDT

    Legit question: She just did 5 chin ups. She's gone up to 5 within like a week of just doing 1. I really have no idea what to think. Whether she's super freak (RIP) or if kids just have an advantage on strength to weight vs. adults. She's watched me do chin ups a lot so I think she drives motivation from watching me.

    Edit: already gotten down voted.

    10 minute pullups

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:35 PM PDT

    Short and sweet:

    Did 56 pullups in 10 mins (slow, chest to bar, full ROM, lockout at bottom) today as a warmup. Hadn't slept well for a few days, so could probably have managed a few more under better circumstances, but not many (so maybe 60 is my absolute max right now).

    Anyone know of a range/scale for ranking such data?

    I realise most people can't do one, but in general what is a good "score" for a non-athlete/soldier?

    Cheers all!

    Edit: information which people have asked for a few times.

    1. 78kg, 181cm, 32y/o.
    2. Sets were 5s, 4s and 3s. Didn't bother trying a max set to start.
    3. Rested 15-30s between sets.
    4. Pronated grip for first 40 reps, then switched to suppinated for final 16 (to neutralise form breakdown).
    5. Didn't cheat/kip (not that kipping is cheating, it's just a different style I guess). Only slow, strict form reps.

    I love rowing so much I bought a machine. Without any weights can I use any old bodyweight workout plan or should it be edited if I plan on using the rowing machine a substantial amount?

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 12:45 PM PDT

    I love rowing and I find it very relaxing. Now I'm wondering what I can do to supplement it, if I should be doing a special plan to target my chest and arms or if I should just use an already made workout plan with no change

    Progressing with rings instead of weighted calisthenics

    Posted: 01 Aug 2020 01:52 PM PDT

    So i've been doing weighted calisthenics for a fair amount of time and I'm slowly creeping up on needing big boy weight plates and weight belts. So far I have been using a backpack and putting dumbells inside, but very soon the bag won't be able to fit so many dumbells without tearing apart or becoming to uncomfortable. So I was looking for weight plates online and I couldn't find any that would be able to ship them or any stores nearby. So I was thinking of adding rings to my workout in order to add another strong stimulus to my muscles that could challenge them in similar way to weighted calisthenics. It is also so much cheaper then buying so many plates. So would starting ring training be a good way to keep progressing? I would mainly be using my rings on a door frame pull up bar so I'm scared that I wont get so much use out of the rings becuase of the height limitations.

    Edit: Thanks for all the responses. I made the decision and bought myself some rings

    Why am I losing results in my workouts

    Posted: 02 Aug 2020 04:02 AM PDT

    This is how I train: Mon: Pull-ups(12, 6, 5, 4, 3), rest 50-60 seconds. Tue: Running Wed: Dips(14, 8, 6, 5, 4), rest 50-60 seconds Thu: Running Fri: Pull-ups(12, 6, 5, 4, 3), rest 50-60 seconds. Sat: Running Sun: Dips(14, 8, 6, 5, 4), rest 50-60 seconds.

    I'm not aiming to do lots of exercises. Just these are keeping my body in shape.

    The funny part is that every two month I'm starting to lose my results.

    For example, yesterday I wasn't able to do my dip workout. I did 14, 8, 6, 4, 4. The last set wasn't even completely done. I fell on 3.5 rep.

    I don't know what's happening. The same thing happens with pull-ups right now. They are becoming harder and harder with each training. I'm not tired or sore. My muscles are perfectly functional. What can I do to prevent loss of my results?
