| Posted: 07 Sep 2020 11:12 AM PDT Every since I started the RR about 2 months ago, I could only do knee-push ups. Today I did 3 full push ups for the first time! It caught me by surprise that I'm able to do them now. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2020 07:47 AM PDT Hey everyone, pretty new here been at it for just over a month. I've been weight lifting for many years and decided I wanted to try something different so I came here. I started with the old RR and been doing decently and been making it work with what I have. Progressed to doing negative pull ups and been doing assisted dips, diamond pushups and horizontal rows. So I've been making progress but I just find myself not excited to work out. I enjoy the movements and I can feel myself getting stronger. I almost feel as if I'm forcing myself to workout everyday rather than being excited to. I'm wondering if I should switch to a PPL or maybe a upper/lower split? Or just keep powering through the RR since I've been getting decent progress from it. I think I might be bored of the same thing everyday. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 03:42 PM PDT Hello everyone, I've been a longtime lurker on this sub, and have found it super helpful for my own personal training. I hope posting this is okay. It's not for any personal gain - more for sharing it in case anyone is looking into doing the same. I know I've had a couple of friends reach out asking me how I built it. Back in July, I ended up building a calisthenics gym based on Benjamin Uyeda's (YouTube: HomeMadeModern) A-Frame Pull Up Bar. I made some modifications on his design (with the help of my dad) in order for me to have the parallel bars installed as well. Since then, I've also added rings, and will be screwing it down to the deck with some brackets so I can do some muscle up training. I hope this helps anyone thinking of doing the same thing. I'm more than happy to share how I made it too, and the differences in how I built mine compared to Ben's. Cheers everyone, and thanks for helping me train better. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2020 01:09 AM PDT I've been doing the RR for the last five months or so, and I can't seem to find an extension progression for the core triplet that works for me. I've tried reverse hyperextensions on the kitchen table and Supermans on the floor, and they both hurt my chest and strain my neck. I have a pull up bar, a bar bell and a few small weight plates (from when I was still trying to continue my lifting routine at home), some resistance bands, an ab roller, and a foam roller. Any ideas of what I can do instead? Here's my current stats/routine : F/128lbs/5'2 Arch hangs/Bulgarian split squats Support hold (still working up to 60 seconds)/Hamstring slides Inverted incline row on a low pull up bar/low incline pushups Banded dead bugs/Bird dogs/?

| Recommended workout for an obstacle course Posted: 07 Sep 2020 08:00 AM PDT Hello everyone, I tried searching if something similar had already been posted but I didn't get anything back. Basically, I am planning on participating in an obstacle course for the first time in my life in exactly two months. And I have relatively no idea what to expect. I know that the length of it is going to be 10km and I can expect obstacles such as wall climbs and monkey swings and stuff like that. What would be a recommended workout routine for that? Should I emphasize cardio more or strength training? If that matters I am 1m80 and 80 kgs with around 17% body fat. [link] [comments] |
| Got my first pullup! (Another one of these) Posted: 07 Sep 2020 12:22 PM PDT Hi guys. I've been doing the RR for 3 months. I was working with my negative pull ups till 30 seconds and with banded pullups once I got that. Last week I downloaded caliverse (cause of a post I saw here) and wanted to try this 4 days a week thing to see how I do. I picked the intermediate one but insted of regular pull ups I was just doing banded pull ups with the lightest band I have. I was honestly very surprised with the amount of volume. It was doing six sets of 4-5 reps. I just did a week of this. Today I finally came back to my gym (corona issues) and before starting my RR (decided to do a week of the RR and a week of the intermediate program from caliverse) my coach was surprised I was not doing pull ups yet. He was like no way, there's something you're doing wrong. You're strong enough. Let me see your attempt of a regular pull up. I grabbed the bar and pulled myself up for a rep. I THINK THAT WAS IT I forgot to actually attempt a strict pull up at least once a week because i was so shit at them that was like nah. I still have a long way to go. Keep doing negatives/banded ones. I was having a terrible weekend because of a breakup but really. This was the best feeling I've had in a long time. Thankyou guys. [link] [comments] |
| Very in depth tutorial on how to muscle up Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:08 PM PDT No matter what tutorial I use I CAN NOT get a muscle up, rings or bar. I think I have the strength as I can do a pull up with 1.5 bw any day of the week, and I am close to a front lever and oap. Ps does it matter if I have a bar that I can't extend my legs on? Every bar around here is too short for me and my rings are positioned far apart so it's really hard to transition there [link] [comments] |
| 3 month gym vs calisthenics challenge. Thoughts on my routine? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 02:46 PM PDT My friend and I have decided to give each other 3 months to get into the best shape possible. He will be using gym and I will be doing calisthenics. Whoever has the best visible body transformation at the end of the 3 months wins. We are both ectomorphs starting with similar muscle mass and some (not much) experience lifting in the past. I only have a pullup bar, some parallettes and an adjustable weighted vest which I plan to progress onto. Im also a member at a bouldering gym where I have access to resistance bands, olympic rings and more calisthenics equipment. My workout routine consists of alternating days of push/pull for 6 days with one day of rest. Legs and core are spread across this routine but the main thing I want help with are my upper body workouts. My push/pull workouts go as follows: Push: Each exercise I do 3 x to failure. I work my way from a vertical push down to horizontal push and through to the opposite vertical, eg - Pike pushups - Decline pushups - Regular pushups - Dips Pull: Same system as the push routine. 3x failure - Pullups - Australian pullups - Chin Ups - Bouldering also uses mostly pull muscles, and i spend time there practising to achieve muscle ups using bands Through all of these exercises I will vary grip between wide and close grip depending on which grip I used last time. For example, if on my previous push day my "regular pushups" were performed with a shoulder width hand position, I will switch it to a diamond pushup. I also start each workout with a different exercise, so if on my last pull day i started with pullups, this time ill start with aussie pullups. This is just so each exercise has a turn being prioritised. Im wondering if any of you experienced bodyweight athletes have any thoughts on this? Am I overdoing it? Are my workouts intense enough? Help me destroy the gym warrior. [link] [comments] |
