| Stevia/Sweeteners are nearly ubiquitous in protein powders and it's disgusting, right? Posted: 19 Sep 2020 10:11 AM PDT So I've been using unflavored protein powder for the last few years and think it tastes pretty great on its own. But the weird thing was, like a decade ago I'd tried the flavored protein powder you see everywhere and hated it. It eventually made me start to wonder if it was really that much better or if my taste buds had changed. After seeing chocolate and vanilla flavor sold regularly in stores, I eventually decided I was ready to give flavored another chance. From the first shake, instant regret. Had to return it. It's just so nasty. Stevia has just the worst aftertaste and it stayed with me for even an hour after, and that's the thing I don't understand. It seems like the only way to get unflavored is to get it online, and half the manufacturers don't even supply it. It's like they don't even consider the possibility someone might want protein that doesn't taste like it's been mixed with a cat's asshole. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:51 AM PDT Personally, I only have about 3 that I use regularly: ring rollouts, dragon flags, pallof press. Occasionally, I do planks to see how long I can go. Last time I did it, my best time is 2 minutes. My abs are quite defined, at least the 6 pack is. What's the point of doing many exercises instead of a couple? Is there an advantage that I'm missing out on? [link] [comments] |
| First sets of one hand pull-up! Posted: 18 Sep 2020 02:06 PM PDT I'm so excited! I've been working toward OAP since having my son as a way of dealing with a traumatic birth. Today I got my first reps of one hand pull ups! They're not perfect, but I got 3x5! I've been doing off-set and commando pull-ups for a bit and I guess that has helped a bit. These are SO gratifying. I was inspired to try them after someone posted last night about them. Thanks, that guy! https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSqnT0jPrA/?igshid=8rkaytp9e1m2 Including stats from FAQ/rules
EDIT #2: to be clear, I'm not using one hand and one arm interchangeably. I'm calling the exercise today one hand pull-up, since it requires all body weight on one hand. I'm well aware I'm not anywhere near OAP yet. I have until 2022 to make that goal, so I'm basically still on track. [link] [comments] |
| Skills/moves and weighted training Posted: 19 Sep 2020 05:22 AM PDT A video from alphadestiny ("Weighted calisthenics = results!") had me thinking about skills and the weighted equivalents needed to achieve them. In said video, he claims a heavy weighted dips can help someone reach a bar Maltese and Planche easier due to the relative strength in calisthenics training with added weight, and this makes sense. Alex also has a video about achieving a front lever, where he says he used weighted pull-ups and higher volume pull-ups helped him with his lever, as well as his OAC and OA Pull-up. This and weighted/advanced variation ab training is supposed to help someone skip a few progressions on the move. Tom Merrick also made a video like this ("Stuck with straight arm skills? Try this!"), And so did FitnessFAQs ("Guaranteed Techniques for a Stronger Back"). There seems to be heavy endorsement of weighted calisthenics for improved skill work. What are some opinions on this? I'll provide some estimated prerequisites below and maybe you can give me some suggestions, higher or lower, etc. Planche/BL: ~130% bw Dip FL: 75-100% bw Pull-up/Chin Impossible dip: 90-100% bw Dip OAC: ~100% bw chin-up Now I'm aware these aren't exactly going to carry over, but that's why I called the prerequisites; there still are some skills to learn to get these moves perfectly, but you will have the strength in the right muscle groups to get pretty close to them. Practice will be needed, but the strength is there nonetheless. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 03:52 AM PDT Hello guys, I used to work out every other day doing mainly calisthenics and kettlebells workout. Since September I started working out on rings and put the kettlebell a side. Working out on rings is so much harder. I'm basically doing the same full-body routines, just on rings. What I am concerned about is that now, every morning after I workout I wake up feeling like shit. I feel like I don't recover as good as before. I'm not extremely sore, it's just like I have no energy. Has anyone noticed something similar after starting using rings? Is this normal or do you think I should change my workout plans accordingly?

| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:40 AM PDT Any tips for breaking the dead hang for the one arm chin-up? I've been practicing with bands so strength on the lower portion is much less than at the top. Also I am unsure whether my scapulas should be retracted throughout the whole motion? I appreciate any advice! [link] [comments] |
