    Fastest way to obtain skills? Body split vs routine.

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 06:38 AM PDT

    I want to be able to progress the fastest in calisthenic skills, right now I've been doing a push pull split with my skills training before each training session. Front lever for pull day, handstand for push.

    However, one of my friends who was a gymnast when he was young and sometimes coaches gymnastics has told me to do a set of routines every single day which he says will be much faster at getting skills.

    I'm not sure if routines which are pretty much massive supersets is actually more effective because my friend may be speaking from experience of an old mindset and as we all know the best way to do things always evolve as time goes on.

    What are your thoughts on the best way to train for skills?

    Finally managed to do 7 pull-ups

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 04:05 PM PDT

    2-3 years ago, me and friends went to a nearby park and there was a pull-up bar. I remember I managed to do 7 pull-ups, which I know is not very impressive, but it the the second highest among my friends. So yeah we are not the healthiest group of friends. We decided to exercise regularly but juggling college and work meant no time for exercise.

    Now 2-3 years later, after all the late nighters and junk food, I became even more unhealthy. I went back to the pull-ups bar and couldn't even pull my self up for the second time. A week a go I bought a pull-up bar that attaches to the door and started doing pull-ups everyday. Each day I increased the reps. Finally today I managed to do 7 again. I know its not much but I am very proud of myself. I will be continuing my journey and hopefully I can do more.

    Can anyone let me know ways to improve my pull-up quantity and what number to aim for? Thanks.

    pullup ROM

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 08:51 AM PDT

    Hi BWF. Longtime lurker. I am working on my pull-up game and am trying to figure out whether to shoot for a full pullup ROM or just focus on taking it from the top of the scap pullup to the bar. I dont seem to have a problem with the scap pullup nor with the retracted/depressed scaps to bar but when I try to mesh the two things get weird. For reference I am on the larger side for BWF, 6'2" and 185lbs (hopefully still 185 =) ).

    I know conventional wisdom is full ROM but I have seen others advocating for more restricted ROM unless you have great mobility. Any advice would be appreciated (even along a totally different dimension).

    Edit: video from when I was doing more restricted range of motion and too fast negatives.

    How do i gain weight

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    Im 17 years old and went thru puberty a little bit later than everyone else if that matters lmao. i started weightlifting at 14 because i had it for a class that year and i loved it. at 14 i was probably 5'4 100 pounds and could only do bench the bar. now in my senior year i am 5'10 and 130 pounds. my max bench is like 140 and my max squat is 210, ik its not alot but thats not the point. seeing as how im 130 pounds i feel like thats slowing me down and i want to gain more weight to be able to just do more but also to look bigger bc im just skinny. problem is tho is im ADHD so im prescribed adderal and because of that it makes really not want to eat so its hard for me to force myself too. i dont have the healthiest eating lifestyle as it is and i drink a protein shake every morning just no improvements. it seems really easy for me to lose weight than to gain so what are some tips just to be able to start bulking a little bit. ik its almost entirely because if my eating habits but for me its just hard to change. i would love just to be able to get 20 pounds heavier

    Bodyweight or lifting weight ?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 10:44 AM PDT

    I have a small muscle mass. I can do 5 reps of pull ups , 4 dips and almost 15 reps of push-ups and squats. Can I gain muscle and strength faster by doing body weight now or should I move to lifting weight until I gain more muscle and strength then start doing calisthenics?

    Human flag with less than 10 pull ups?

    Posted: 14 Sep 2020 07:24 AM PDT

    Hey there guys, this is so weird and I've been looking it up online but everything i read seems to go against what im experiencing. So i can do around 5 pull ups and 15 push ups with perfect form, and had been trying to learn human flags, planches and front levers by focusing on building joint strength, especially straight arm strength rather than muscular strength. So my reps haven't really improved much but i can do straight arm holds for much longer —it's intentional as i want to properly pace my muscle growth with tendon development.

    Now the thing is, everywhere i look online i see people say you need to have at least 20 perfect pull-ups before attempting to even train for human flags/front levers—i obviously don't have that but I'm progressing well (in my opinion ofc) and can hold an advanced tuck for 4-5 seconds, hold a tuck planche for 10 seconds on the floor (double that on p bars) and do 3-4 flag negatives (probably not greatest of numbers but still)

    My question is, are these bodyweight movements really about muscular strength or joint strength? Of course i know you need to be really strong but i wonder if it's actually a big myth that beginners shouldn't start training for them? I think that by focusing on joints over muscles, you give them a great headstart and since the muscle strength comes a lot quicker than tendon strength, progressing also becomes faster..

    I must mention that I've been doing straight arm strengthening routines for the last 5 months, following a solid diet of vegetables seeds oils and protein, and only began attempting each of these moves over sufficiently spaced out intervals. But i still can't do over 5 clean pull ups..

    Weighted Calisthenics and growth.

    Posted: 13 Sep 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    Hello, I'm wondering wether Calisthenics with weights will stop my growth ( currently 16). Right now I weigh about 96KG and I'm 5 foot 9.

    I can do about 25 push ups and 10-15 diamond push ups. I don't yet have a pull up bar and I'm planning if DIYing one in my garden soon because I know how Important pull ups are. I'll doubt I'll even manage to do one but I have to start somewhere.

    Right now I'm also using a bag with about 10KG of weight in it and I can do 15 push ups at least and about 10 diamond ones. But I'm considering not using the bag because it may stop my growth. What do you think ?
