| From 2 Pull-ups to 12 Muscle-ups in 1 year Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:10 AM PDT Hello! It's Elvis here some people may know me from my previous posts but most of you most likely don't know me so I will introduce myself. My name is Elvis I am 26 years old and I from Latvia! At the moment I am working full time job but in the free time I can call myself a calisthenics enthusiast for the past 13 months and a bit.. so basically 1 year! I did share my progress in looks and some strength feats but in my opinion this is my biggest achievement for now especially if we consider that I am quite tall 1.89m/6'2 ft. and also quite heavy as well for doing calisthenics (95kg/209lbs). So everything I learn or achieve feels like a great accomplishment and it doesn't come easy for me! It took me almost a year to do proper L-sit (that's because I have quite big legs and I think that is the reason why it was so difficult) so that will put things into perspective how hard progress comes for me! Time period: 13 months Training type : Calisthenics Cardio : Running, Swimming, Cycling, Box, HIIT and some circuit training as well My training schedule: Calisthenics: 3-4 times a week Cardio: 3-4 times a week (I usually do cardio after my workout) Weight lifting (mostly for legs): 2 times a week Physique progress and pictures: After picture with no pump or flexing After picture on pump with flex In the before pictures I've just started calisthenics and my heaviest weight was 114kg/251lbs. I did have background in lifting weights so it's very important that people acknowledge this fact and don't think I've made that progress from zero. I've had quite a lot of muscle mass underneath the fat but I din't take diet and training too serious and that is why I didn't look my best! This is my calisthenics journey and it truly made the difference in my life! Stats: Age: 26 Height: 1.89m/6'2 ft. Weight: - Before 114kg/250lbs - After 95kg/207lbs Progress in strength and endurance: Pull-ups: 2 to 21 body weight and +51kg/112lbs x1 Chin-ups: 5 to 21 and +62kg/136lbs x1 Dips: 9 to 35 body weight and +72kg/158lbs x1 Pull overs: 1 to not exactly sure haven't tested my max but at least 12 reps Muscle-Ups: 0 to 12 I've learned archer push-ups and pull-ups I've learned one arm push-ups I've mastered pull-overs I've mastered L-Sit and hanging leg raise in 90 degree angle for couple of seconds Yes most of the stats are like in the last post but I do have a lot of improvements which in my opinion is what is important! Progress is what makes me love doing what I do! For example I did chin-ups PB, mastered L-sit with straight legs and toes pointing forward etc. Note: My form may not be perfect yet for muscle-ups but in my opinion progressing and improving is what counts! Also if we consider how hard it's for heavier guys to do muscle-ups I think anyone can forgive some kip in last couple reps... but in time I will do them clean believe me! It was the same with pull-ups people called me out on the form and still do in my old videos, but right now my pull-up form is great so It's just matter of time and the same case will be for muscle-ups! A little more information about my previous background: I trained in power lifting so basically a lot of focus was on me doing bench press, squats and deadlift for three reps and 3 sets. I liked the workouts but it's also quite dangerous so you have to be careful and always train without the ego! This post is to motivate other big guys who have quite a lot of mass they are packing or are tall and think calisthenics isn't for them! I am example that if you really want to do calisthenics your height and weight doesn't matter that much. Yes It may take insane time to learn things like straddle planche etc. but it's not always about those exercises. You can thrive in others fundamental exercises and set good example for people around you! If anyone is interested in seeing my journey just type ElvisLifts on Google/Youtube and you will find me. Everything I say and claim is on video so I don't make these numbers just up from thin air. If you have any questions feel free to ask me! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 05:49 AM PDT I just want to get some counselling about how to warm up to do ring exercises. If I don't warm up I get tendonitis, but I want to do it in the right way. To give a little bit of perspective I can do 10 pull ups in a row, 10 dips (dip bar) in a row and 10" of hanging hollow on the rings. I'm a beginner on the rings. [link] [comments] |
| Will I Hurt Myself Doing This? (16) (Male) Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:07 PM PDT I started a lot of things this year. One of those things was working out. I dropped that for about a month. There were a lot of things prohibiting me. I want to get back into it. (Exercise) [Repetitions] {Sets} (PUSH-UPS) [10] {10} (PULL-UPS) [10] {2} (LEG RAISES) [10] {2} (LUNGES) [10] {3} (PLANK) [1 (60 SECS)] {1} (DUMBBELL CURLS) [10] {2 (1x EACH ARM)} (SUPERMAN) [1 (60 SECS)] {1-2} I copied and pasted the chart I made. It goes exercise name, reps, and then sets. I added brackets to make it easier. I'm on a road trip, and I am writing this on Safari. It's hard. For the first month, I don't want to have specific days for specific things. Would following this guide (once a day) hurt me in any way? Thanks. My list of exercises is broken. It's a mess. I'm sorry. I cannot do anything about that right now. Instead of having separate days for separate things (leg day/upper body) - if I were to do these exercises everyday - will there be any consequences. It's messy but reading the names could help you answer that question. I'm sorry and thank you! [link] [comments] |
| $1000 Work Well-being Allowance - What to Buy? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 09:58 AM PDT Our work is giving us $1000 each year towards "well-being" Anything from...
I've already got a gym membership and know a fair amount about personal finance. I have scoliosis, so maybe massage therapy would benefit me? I'm a 23 y/o new grad, so maybe some life coaching and counseling would help? Are nutritionists and personal trainers even worth it? [link] [comments] |

| Are My Bones Supposed To Hurt During Weight Lifting Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:14 PM PDT I'm a skinny guy who wants to at least have a body like Bruce Lee's. That's why I'm trying to get into weight lifting, even though I only have a 20lb one (10lb each side of the dumbbell). I know that I can't do any bicep curls with the metal dumbbell, so I tried to grab both ends, before lifting the thing up and down with both arms. Doing that more than a couple of times, however, gives me a sharp pain in my arm, which goes away after a few seconds of rest. What does that mean, especially since I think it's coming from my bones? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| can i do full body weight training and basic calisthenics every other day? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:29 AM PDT i'm 15 years old and fairly new to working out in general and i'm really interested in trying calisthenics. my current routine is full body weight training with some body weight exercises 2x12 and one rest day on Sunday. I was thinking if i could do something like this: Mon: full body Tues: Calisthenics Wed: full body Thu: Calisthenics Fri: full body Sat: Calisthenics Sun: Rest PS: Maybe I could take a rest on Saturday too?

| Posted: 25 Aug 2020 11:04 AM PDT Hi everyone, I've been working out for about 5 years now, switching from a trainer to Jefit to Fitbod in the process. Lately I use a calisthenics gym at my local park and a set of handle bands. I've enjoyed this and have seen results, but I don't work up a sweat usually, and I feel I have a lot more in me. This has driven me to looking at different routines again as I feel Fitbod is wonderful in the gym, but a little lacking outside of it. I recently found the Thenx and Heria Pro apps (which seem about the same) and this sub's RR. I've read comparative reviews and how the RR seems to be preferred by most people. While I enjoy an app changing things up, I have no problem with repetition if I'm feeling great and seeing results. Any experience here with Fitbod in comparison to these alternatives? Before jumping ship from something I enjoy (great logging and Apple Health integration) I want to make sure I can achieve what I'm looking for. TLDR I love Fitbod but I feel it's not giving me that intense sweaty max effort workout I'm craving, and rather a lightly challenging 30-50 minutes in the park. [link] [comments] |
| How to focus more on side delts? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:17 PM PDT With push ups and dips, I feel my fronts get enough work. So with rows and my rears. But I don't really see any progress in my side delts. Would pike/handstand do the job? Dolphin push ups? Side to side planks? [link] [comments] |
| Any tips for training dead hangs in wet weather? Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:46 AM PDT Hey all, I train outside and it's rapidly approaching rainy season here in the UK. I've managed to get a good base of dead hangs for grip training this year and want to make sure I do my best at maintaining it over the winter. Whenever it rains I obviously struggle to keep my grip as it's a bit slippier, and while it's a fun challenge to train in the wet it doesn't quite match up to the longer hangs I can achieve when it's drier. Has anyone developed any tips or techniques to keep hanging as long as possible during wet and rainy conditions? Happy to get some gloves if they've got rubber grips on the palms etc. I'm already in the practice of using a towel to cover the bars and hang from that but it's not working as well with the heavier rain at the moment. Edit: spelling [link] [comments] |
| Best app for tracking progress Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:40 AM PDT I'm looking for an app where I could create my workouts (input exercises with sets and reps) and keep progress. [link] [comments] |
| Good Bodyweight Workout Routine for Novice (7-8 months working out with weights) Sans-equipment? Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:30 PM PDT I'm 18 yrs old, been doing a mix of calisthenics (ab workouts and pushups and a bit of squats) + weight training for my upper body for 7-8 months now. Been watching some of JGCalisthenics' vids lately and I've been getting motivated to try calisthenics since I seem to be stuck in this skinny fat phase with weights + some bodyweight exercises. My old routine helped me go from chubby and pudgey to skinny fat so now I've been thinking of using calisthenics to get me to a leaner body. Can anyone suggest a good workout routine that'll help me build strength, increase mobility, develop skills like being able to do L-sits, handstands and etc, and get a leaner and better body? I don't have any equipment at home, not even a pullup bar or resistance bands, other than my dumbbells and a bench that looks terrifyingly unstable (so idk if i can do pullups on it.) note: idk if this is a FAQ, I tried to read through FAQ but it just says wiki is disabled.

| Caloric Surplus and Muscle Strengthening (Posture) Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:06 PM PDT I'm in the middle of a weight loss journey and also one to fix years of poor posture. In order to strengthen my back/abs/glutes do I need to be eating at a caloric surplus? I'm not sure if the weight loss and muscle strengthening are at odds with each other.

| How will bodybuilding impact my front lever/planche progression Posted: 24 Aug 2020 03:20 PM PDT Currently i'm not enjoying calisthenics very much and haven't seen progress in my planche or front lever in a while, i was thinking of taking some time off and focus on barbell strength and increasing muscle mass for a few months, has anybody got any experience with switching training styles for some time and what impact did it have on your calisthenics?
