| My lower back hurts while doing a plank, what am I doing wrong? Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:28 PM PDT As far as I know, I am able to keep good form while doing a plank and I was able to do it without pain 2-3 years back. But I've started training again since the start of lockdown and my lower back hurts after a few seconds in a plank. Is this because of poor seating posture owing to working in bed and sofa on my laptop? I want to strengthen my core and this feels like a blocker. Edit: Thank you everyone for your amazing inputs. I will surely incorporate them into my workout and monitor the results. So nice to have these many people out here helping newbies like me. Thank you again :) [link] [comments] |
| How many times a week do I need to train to maintain muscle? Posted: 23 Sep 2020 11:50 AM PDT I anticipate that some time down the road I'll eventually meet my gains and strength goals. I'm not looking to do anything spectacular so at that stage I will be looking to cut back on training as much as I can whilst maintaining size and strength. I'm looking to go back into boxing after. I'm just wondering how many times a week, and at what sort of intensity I need to train to maintain the muscle. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:48 AM PDT Long but please read- goal=weight loss & muscle mass/toning (Info about me- 23F, 265lbs, full time student, 18hour PT job, furmama of two senior animals, fiancé of a night shift nurse who is full time and also a full time student.) Here's the thing, I worked out for one week straight (well on MWF, one hour of strength, one hour of basketball) and was waking up earlier than I needed to actually care for myself (full shower/hair style actually put on an outfit instead of "bummy" clothes) and would make these delicious uplifting smoothies with ginger in it for breakfast, go to class, work out after or come home and have another smoothie and would eat a small dinner. Squeezing in homework, house duties, and care for the fur children. The only 'free time' I had I used to do something that was needed. I haven't felt that uplifting in a long time (athlete all through my younger life until after high school) and I also have a few medical issues that usually make me feel like shit but I felt great. The thing is, I get 4-6 hours of sleep. If I get more, I sleep through my alarms and will literally sleep most of the day, and if I sleep less cranky and exhausted. With working out, it has to be 6 hours for my body to do some proper healing. With that being said, I got behind on homework, on cleaning the house & laundry. I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to catch up. HW will be caught up today but half the house is still behind. Ofcourse in the meantime I stopped making smoothies, stop waking up early, etc. Also, in that week I lost 3 pounds. Great!! (As I'm sure I've gained it back :( ) How do you fit everything in?? How do you balance it out?? My goal is to loose Atleast 100lbs by my wedding next year Sept 2021. Thanks for the read EDIT: As soon as her job opens a day position she will be moving. This would help in home greatly but in the meantime she's night shift. I do most of the work in home while she cleans the kitchen and helps with laundry if I do it when she's home. Haha. Night shift is rough and she works 4 days a week, 12hr shift. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2020 08:27 PM PDT I keep getting stretch marks on my shoulders and inside of my biceps, am I training too much? Why do I keep getting stretch marks over muscles? Shouldn't the skin stretch with the muscles? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 12:16 PM PDT Hello everyone, I faced this problem, I started bulking, but I noticed that I was gaining weight extremely fast, eating only 2200 calories, I gained about 1kg in a week. working out 3 days a week by push / pull / legs split [link] [comments] |
| Need advice for Push Pull Legs split Posted: 23 Sep 2020 11:15 AM PDT Background: Started training calistenics 3 months ago. 4-5 years before this had fitness expirience. So i like full body workout but i like training so i always end up overtraining and taking break only when i'm forced to by exhaustion in some workout 6-9th day of training every day probably. I train legs 1-2 times per week troughout the day. I'm currently doing L sit Pull ups, Archer Push ups, Bodyrow chinups, Dips, Leg raises from bar 3-4 cycles. So what i'm wondering is how many exercises is adviced to have. Is there any point to doing cycles considering the same muscles are most likely used in the next exercise. What exercises should i choose is there any chance i might miss some imporatnt part of the body for example some head of the triceps which is not used in most exercises or lower/upper chest. How many sets should i aim for to do in the workout and should i alternate 2 workouts for push pull. I wanna train 6 days per week. My goal is to gain strentght and build muscle mass.

| How do I make my hips comfortable by adding muscle? Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:28 AM PDT Hi, I'm a skinny guy and my hips are bony. When my girl is riding me she often complains that my hip bones stick out and make it uncomfortable for her. I want to know what sort of exercises I can do which will help build muscle around that area. Do flutterkicks help that area? I want some muscle around the area that my boxers cover, and make my bones a little less 'sharp'. Excuse me if I'm asking noob questions but I appreciate your guidance. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:10 AM PDT I can do chin ups and wide pull ups without a problem, but when I do a shoulder width pull up the max ROM is getting to forehead. I just can't go higher, don't have this problems with chin ups and wide pullups. Stats - 191 cm and 74 kg -edit-just tried neutral grip, close grip and ring pull ups and I don't have a problem with them [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2020 02:19 PM PDT Because of the pandemic many people have been forced to workout without weights and they are curious how it would affect their lifts. I have been curious about the strength transfer as well and for a while I have been collecting some examples to give you an idea of how much strength can be transferred through bodyweight training. I'll give some examples and you are welcome to share your experience in the comments. I have tried my best to give you examples that are trustable, either have a video testimony of a one rep max or they are really strong people and their strength ratio matches with other people similar to that level. I'm mainly gonna use the bench press for this. I'll mention their height, weight and strength level whenever possible.
General conclusion: Of course it won't be same for everyone. But it seems like if you are good with handstand push ups and can hold a planche on Rings you should be able to bench press more than 1.6x your bodyweight in first try even without knowing the technique. So there were 10 examples. You can share your experience in comments. Doesn't have to be bench press though, it could be anything even weighted dip or pull ups. [link] [comments] |
| Army Fitness Test & Hypermobility in wrists and elbows Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:05 PM PDT This is a very specific question, so I apologize in advance. I'm trying to enlist in the Army, but I see their push up requirement has changed, and they now require you to perform close-grip push ups. As someone with double jointed wrists and elbows, they seem nearly impossible. I'm able to do wide push ups (not many, since I'm still working on my strength before I join, but can do some), but even beginning to push myself up from the floor in a close-grip feels like nothing is happening no matter how hard I push. I've honestly no idea if this is due to lack of strength or due to my hypermobility. Almost feels like my joints will just not move that way. Does anyone have any experience or tips to deal with this kind of exercise? Thanks alot! [link] [comments] |
| Any of you guys did a MUSCLE UP the first time you ever tried? Posted: 22 Sep 2020 10:37 PM PDT Wondering if there any of u guys did a Muscle Up the first time you ever tried without learing it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2020 07:25 PM PDT So I just started my journey to fitness.My routine consist of push-up, pull-up and squats.This is where the problem came in.First,I will do push up then squats but I can't do pull-ups because squat drain the hell out of me.Last time I even past out because of squats.Any suggestions on what should I do? Should I replace squats or save a day solely for leg? P.S:Sorry for my bad English [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 04:20 AM PDT Hi all! I've been doing the r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine 3 days a week for a few months and as I progress I'm getting a lot more popping and unpleasant (not quite painful) sensations in my shoulders. I want to start incorporating shoulder prehab like LYTPs and banded external rotations into my program, but I'm not sure if I should add them to the end of my workouts or do them on my rest days. If I add them to my workouts I'm afraid I won't give them the attention and focus they deserve, but I'm worried about working my shoulders 6 days a week if I add them to rest days. So my question is: can shoulder prehab work be done on rest days, or is it too taxing on the muscles? [link] [comments] |
| Feel sort of lost and need some advice Posted: 22 Sep 2020 02:37 PM PDT So I (17m, 65kg) have been training for close to two years. The first year was great, but the problem was that the pullup bar I was using was slanted, I ended up being WAY stronger on my right side, not only in my back, but also on my arms, shoulders, chest and even core. In February I got a pretty good, drill in bar, and have been trying a bunch of unilateral exercises but none have really worked. Among them have been archer pullups, uneven pullups, two finger uneven pullups and rows with 16.5kg (dumbells wont go any heavier). Initially I had a push pull split 2x a week but now a I do 3x a week push and pull. Im at the point in which on my right side I can almost do a one arm pull, have no problem doing archers, can do 3 one arm pushups and can even do a 5 second frontlever without any training. Problem is on my left side I cant even hold the bottom position for a one arm pushup, dont even feel any of the unilateral pullups, only occasionally do I feel the rows and I have a hard time doing basics (not in a good way). It's affected my mental health (a bit of body dismorphia), my balance and I sort of feel like I'm still a beginner and haven't really made progress, as if I had cheated to do the frontlever and wasted my time. I've considered stopping training completely and starting from scratch, only training my left side or doing a bit of training on my right to maintain the strength I have while I focus on the left. What Do? [link] [comments] |
| What do you guys think of this? Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:05 PM PDT I saw this online and thought it was cool. Apparently its a workout program based off Faith Connors from Mirrors edge. This BS or legit? http://beagamecharacter.com/2013/05/01/the-faith-workout/ [link] [comments] |
