    The stronger I become physically, the weaker I become mentally.

    Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:53 AM PDT

    I've started doing calisthenics two months back.
    Back then, I couldn't do a single pull-up. To fix this, I started doing workouts more often, doing my best and incorporating intensity in the workout.
    It went fine.

    Right now, I'm able to do 5 pull-ups in a row, 2 minutes rest. So physically, I've made progress. However, mentally it feels like I'm getting weaker. Everytime now, I'm dreading the idea of losing my progress. I'm literally nervous to jump and grab the bar. Now I've noticed that my strength is declining; I have a harder time to crank out 5 pull-ups in a row. But I blame this more on the psychological stuff than the physical stuff.

    Does anybody relate to this, and/or have tips to overcome it?

    Muscle Endurance

    Posted: 10 Aug 2020 02:52 PM PDT

    Hello everyone. I've recently got into strength training (before quarantine I had never even really exercised, just wrestling) and as of now I can do a maximum of 15 pull-ups in a row if I push as hard as I can. The problem is, I'm training strength as a sport-specific and I need muscle endurance for 6 high-paced minutes (those who got to wrestle in high school will understand lol) and after I do the 15 and I rest for a minute, I can only do barely 5 of them in the next sets. So I do them like this 15-5-5-5-5-5-5-5... I'm not if sure that's the best for muscle endurance as I need to do the most that I can as fast as I can in the least sets that I can. Maybe I should try to distribute in 10s? Idk, I'd be glad if I got some advice.

    Also, after the pull ups, I do push ups, and I can only do 20, maybe 25 if I really, really push it through. So again, it goes like 20-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 and I'm not really cool with that. Thank y'all. Forgot to mention that I'm 14, weight around 115 and I'm 5'4.

    Gymnastics makes kids short? Does bwf have similar consequences?

    Posted: 09 Aug 2020 03:30 AM PDT

    Hey guys I recently came across this article talking about how gymnastics doesn't stunt height. however, if you scrolled down to the comments section, a comment by "Rae" mentions that gymnastics did stunt his/her growth and the growth of other fellow gymnasts

    now, I know most people doing calisthenics aren't clocking in as many hours as pro gymnasts, but could it cause stunted height growth as well?

    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.

    How to minimize rotation during a one-handed pull-up?

    Posted: 08 Aug 2020 10:28 AM PDT

    Today I had a training session where I tried out the one-handed pull-up where you hold your wrist with the other hand. I was rotating like crazy and eventually ended up in a neutral grip instead of an undergrip/overgrip (I tried both). I would like to ask how I can minimize or stop this rotation. I feel like I have the necessary strength to perform this exercise correctly, but I can't because of the rotation. Any tips are appreciated and thank you in advance!
