| Posted: 26 Sep 2020 04:41 PM PDT 16yr old, 94KG. Started doing push ups, and suddenly after 2 weeks I go from 85 to 90+ KG. Chest got noticeably bigger, I look just as fat and shoulders also got more 3D like ( not sure how to call them). Now I have ugly and big stretch marks on my shoulders and armpit area. My biceps are also starting to get stretch marks. Is this normal? How did I gain so much weight in such little time, while looking no fatter than I did. Should I continue training? Can it be dangerous? Thank you for any help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:05 AM PDT And holy smokes did I gain a whole new level of respect for everyone on this subreddit. I hit the reality check wall right in the face. I'm a 286lbs obese dude who's been aching to get started with the recommended routine on here. Since I didn't feel comfy with the door mounted pullup bars I decided to invest in a power tower and a set of rings. So obviously the first thing I did when I assembled the thing was try a pull up and wow. Even just hanging on the bar made my body scream. Feeling my hands catching on fire and my body just not being up to par was such an intersting and humbling experience, and I loved every second of it. Can't wait to start progressing towards my first succesful one. Also hope this serves as a reminder towards people that can just pump out pull ups like no tomorrow that it's still hella impressive. TLDR: Yall strong, I'm not (yet). Didn't realize how much so beforehand and gained some massive respect <3 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:20 AM PDT Not gonna lie, my technique is not the best, but it's enough to get her off. The thing is my jaw and tongue are experiencing Arnold levels of pump, tireness, stiffness and acute death right after... So... Could you refer me to a site or an article that might help? ^ ' Or just reccomend me some exercises, sets and reps, and weekly frueqency to build up speed and stamina in the tongue. I know, I know, SAID is the king, but GPP must be utilised aswell. Thanks in advance :) [link] [comments] |
| 5 vs 6 Day Workout Schedule for Fat Loss Posted: 26 Sep 2020 02:53 PM PDT NOTE: TITLE SHOULD SAY 5 DAY WORKOUT SCHEDULE SUGGESTIONS Long time lurker, first time poster. So I originally posted this in r/fitness, but figured it would be better suited here; it is also taking some time to get my post approved in r/fitness since I have such a low karma. I'm a 5'8" M currently sitting at 164/17% BF. My current workout schedule looks like this 80-90% of the time: M/W/F - 1 Hour bodyweight, full body workout + 1 HR Moderate-High intensity cardio after T/TH - 1 HR 30 MIN Moderate-High intensity cardio + 30 MIN - Moderate-High intensity Cardio in morning S/S - Rest (Occasionally I'll do a 2/3 on + 1 off + 2/3 on; either way it is 5 days a week) All in all, 6-7 hours of cardio with 3 hours of bodyweight strength training. This schedule isn't hard for me but it does take an inordinate amount of time, and even with work from home I don't end up eating dinner until 8:30-9 PM because I have to wake up so early and work so late to stay on top of things. As far as weight loss and fat loss, this has been working well for me. From January to July, I went from 232 to 185 on diet alone; I added in this exercise schedule mid-July and have gotten down to aforementioned weight. My ultimate question is this: Will switching to a schedule where I'm only doing 30 minutes of cardio after my strength training on my full body workout days, but moving the other 30 minutes to a different part of the day, affect my fat loss in any positive, negative, or negligible way? I'm looking to get to 150 @ 14-15% body fat and then working on body re-composition from there. The new schedule would likely still be a 5 day a week schedule that looks something like this: Monday - 1 Hour bodyweight, full body workout + 30 MIN Moderate-High intensity cardio after + 30 Min Moderate-High intensity cardio in morning Tuesday - 1 HR 30 MIN Moderate-High intensity cardio Wednesday - 1 Hour bodyweight, full body workout + 30 MIN Moderate-High intensity cardio after + 30 Min Moderate-High intensity cardio in morning Thursday - 1 HR 30 MIN Moderate-High intensity cardio Friday - 1 Hour bodyweight, full body workout + 30 MIN Moderate-High intensity cardio after + 30 min moderate-high intensity cardio in morning Saturday/Sunday - Rest (or mid-week rest w/Saturday as 5th exercise day), maybe adding 1 hour of cardio on Saturday depending on my schedule that weekend So I'm still doing the same in terms of hours/effort in exercise (6 - 7 hours of cardio + 3 hours of strength), but moving 30 minutes of my 1 hour cardio sessions to the mornings of my full-body workout days. I'm just curious if this will affect fat loss in any way; I've seen several conflicting studies ranging from positive if they are more than 6 hours apart to reducing lean muscle building for doing cardio and strength on the same day, to it making virtually no difference. For reference, I'm not trying to become a super shredded beast. I just want to be in good cardiovascular condition and be lean with a good physique. Thanks for all your opinions in advance!

| How do I do the hanging exercises if my grip isn't strong enough? Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:27 AM PDT I'm pretty sure that I can do more hanging knee raises than I do now, but my grip loosens before I fatigue. How do I get around that? [link] [comments] |
| How do I maintain my gymnastics rings? Posted: 26 Sep 2020 02:07 PM PDT Any tips on how to protect my wooden gymnastics rings? I have used them outside, and one time some rain came out of nowhere. The rings got lightly damaged by it (not as smooth finish afterwards). What would you recommend me to do to protect the rings? Some sort of paint? Any oil I can use on the wood? I know it would ruin the finish and grip, but I can simply use some tape to fix that. [link] [comments] |
| Increase reps or increase time of negative pullups? Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:30 AM PDT So I am able to do a 10-15 second negative pullup, but after that 1 rep, I can barely do another. So I was wondering if I should cut the time of the negative pullup and do more reps, or if I should continue to try the slowest, and longest, descent possible. My goal is to increase the number of normal pull-ups I can do, which is only 1 at the moment. [link] [comments] |
| External rotation vs Internal Rotation of Hip - which is good or bad and why? Posted: 27 Sep 2020 07:43 AM PDT The title pretty much says it. Regarding me, when I lie down in perfect supine position, my feet rotate outwards almost forming a 180 degree between themselves if I let them go. When squatting (I can go down entirely, no problem) my feet are extremely outwardly rotated. If I forcefully try to keep my feet somewhat parallel, my knees shake and tend to cave inwards while going down and I feel uncomfortable. After 3 or 4 reps I look at my feet and they have again rotated outwards. With outward rotated feet I have perfectly stable knees while squatting. Do I have external rotation? Is it bad? If it is, how to correct it? P.S. - I am a beginner and have just started exercising after 12 years. 29M. My core is weak and sitting long periods make me slouch over and have dull lower back pain.

| Advanced pulling strength training, what works well for you? Posted: 27 Sep 2020 01:48 AM PDT Hi everyone, Gyms are closing again in France for at least 2 weeks so i can't train weighted pull ups anymore. Sadly, i feel like it's the only way to increase my pulling strength. I can still do sets of one arm pullups since i have a pull up bar but i don't make clear gains when i do that. For those who train to get stronger one arm pull ups, do you have some tips to keep progressing? What is your training routine? My OAP 1RM is +12 kg or 7reps with each arm. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Sep 2020 08:56 PM PDT I am unable to squat at all. I have been working out for about 6 months off and on due to injuries and what not. I am trying to do mobility routines (which have shown no results so far) because I just fall over and my whole body has to be leaning far forward to counter balance myself when i try to go parallel. My question is, what can I do to train my legs that isn't a squat. If you have any tips on how I can improve my overall lower body mobility or links that could help that would be greatly appreciated aswell. [link] [comments] |
| Armstrong Pullup Program - My progress so far Posted: 27 Sep 2020 02:34 AM PDT After taking way too long a break and losing all the sweet progress and gains I accumulated using Pavels Fighter pullup program, I decided to get back into it these past two months. I started with a very unimpressive four, which is almost a third of what I used to be able to do with weights on top of that, but four was enough for the Fighter program that served me so well in the past. However after a week or two I was still feeling 'heavy', none of my sets felt fresh no matter how long the breaks in between were, so I tried switching to GtG, something that I had used 3-4 years ago to great effect, crunching out more than a hundred pullups a day until my elbows disagreed and I was forced to take a several month long break. (lesson learned) GtG also felt too slow and too disorganized for me, so I decided to give the Armstrong program a go, it's rigid structuring appeals to me, fixed sets, fixed, rest, open progression so no feeling of existential dread if you fail to meet a certain programs progression numbers for that day/week etc.. Here is my progress so far. Today is the start of a new week so I figured it would be a good point to look back on what I have achieved so far. I am not entirely satisfied as the 9th pullup last week and the 10th pullup this week were hardly proper form and were more akin to a last ditch effort to get my chin above the bar, I'm dreading to think that if I had done extremely strict and static form I would still be on 8 and would have wasted 14 days of my life. Comparing to how my numbers in dips have soared, I do my dips right after my sets of pullups, following the Armstrong program the same types of sets I did with my pullups, it's a bit disheartening. However I plan on sticking with this until I complete at least 6 weeks at which point I will see if things have become any better or if a change is in order. I have some questions for anyone that feels competent enough to answer: I am well acquainted with the RR and it's 3 times a week programming, the reason I am not doing it is that I feel like 3 times a week with the numbers prescribed isn't enough volume, have any of you been able to achieve a large number of pullups using the RR method? I have seen a lot of people talking about strength gains translating over to endurance gains, I would love to add weights and do weighted pullups but if it brought back my numbers down to 4 I feel like I would once again be stuck with not enough volume. My current goal is to reach 20 BW pullups before starting to add weight, making sure that my maximum set stays high even with the weights. Why are my dips progressing so ludicrously faster than my pullups? Last weeks total has increased by 27 over the first week, but for pullups I have done only one more, even managing to do worse in total numbers on Day 1 of Week 2 compared to Day 1 of Week 1. TL;DR If you only care about my progression three weeks in - https://i.imgur.com/oeQJXmh.png How do more pullup? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Sep 2020 05:24 PM PDT Hello everyone, I've been training on and off for the past 3 years and consistently for the paat 6 momths. When I first started doing calisthenics 3 years ago, I got some huge gains and then quit due my health problems. Although I am getting stronger each day, I cannot put on any mass. An example workour routine of mine for upper body: 4x10 handstand pushups against wall 4x10 pseudo pushups 4x15 bodyweight tricep extensions 4x15 deep pushups 4x10 pullups 40 pushups (20 diamond,10 decline pushups, 10 regular pushups with no rest) 4x7 chinups I train 3 times a week, sometimes 4. After doing all that I cannot even feel like my chest has done any work. I've certainly gotten stronger but still quite small. I am 1.79m and 63 kg. I eat 2500-3000 calories a day except a day of the week which I do intermittent fasting for 18 hours. Am I training for endurance instead of mass gains? Should I add weight to my workouts and decrease the reps ? Any help is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| 6'3 155lb - first muscle up. You can do it lankybois. Posted: 26 Sep 2020 05:09 PM PDT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLTSMPWGmIY Woooo! Not the cleanest but I got over that damn bar! After the video, I took a break and did 2 in a row! For anyone curious, I did pullups throughout the day at home randomly and I would practice muscleups with pullup assist bands a few times a week at the park. Highly, highly recommend the pullup assist bands if you're stuck. They're $30 shipped on eBay. I started with the heavier bands, and worked my way down to using only the 1 lightest band, then this happened. If you can do a solid 7-8 pullups, the bands will probably send you right over the bar first try. Just work your way down from there to no bands. All in all, it took me 5 weeks. At the start, I could do around 7 strict pullups. Earlier this year I could do 12 strict pullups, but I stopped working out for 2 months and lost all my strength. Sp some muscle memory definitely helped. I do notice I was already half way up in the swing phase. I guess from here I'll work on starting lower and lower until its a real, full muscle up from straight arms. [link] [comments] |
