| 2.5 year calisthenics transformation from nothing. Posted: 15 Sep 2020 08:33 AM PDT Male 35 170lbs 2.5years of progress. Weighted and bodyweight calisthenics with maybe 5 months of basic barbell compounds. Diet for last 8 years has been ovo-lacto vegetarian. I dont track calories but i think my protein intake is close to 1g/lb. Third picture (skinny me) could get maybe 3 chinups and 10 bad pushups. Im almost 35, vegetarian, my training has consisted of probably 90% calisthenics and 10% barbell. I just got a trapbar for doing deadlifts rows and farmers at home now, so we'll see how that goes. Edit: my training philosophy was train harder than last time (even long before I heard about coach greg), I focused on pushups and pullups and all the variations and ways to train those 2 movements for a loooong time when i started and still do. I got mentally tough from doing an absurd number of reps. I added in direct arm work in the last year or so after researching all the different stuff I could do on my rings and watching fitnessfaqs and calisthenicsmovement on youtube. Everyone says beginners shouldnt train to failure but I did, a lot. I did some basic compound barbell work for 5ish months at the local gym until they were shutdown from covid. I got up to 225bench for 5x5, 345trapbar deadlift for 5x5, and squatted 295 for 4x6 were my last training numbers in feburary of this year. I just got a trapbar and plates for my garage so ill be doing deadlifts once/twice a week in addition to all my calisthenics stuff so i dont neglect my ass and legs entirely. I was never a fan of pistol squats even though i did them begrudgingly. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 09:49 PM PDT I am just about the most inflexible person ever. I work out a lot, mostly kickboxing, and I am starting to notice that my inflexibility keeps me from doing certain things. Tips or certain stretches to do? [link] [comments] |
| DIY pull up- and parallel dip bars Posted: 15 Sep 2020 09:43 AM PDT So I just finished building this with my friend and I'm so excited to start this bodyweight fitness journey. Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/2qpNFGe (ignore the trash in the back) So basically I made this with a few wooden beams my dad had laying around, and cut them to size. Furthermore I bought some quick drying concrete from the local DIY store. And ordered some galvanized steel pipes online. Drilled some holes in the beams and glued the pipes into them with construction glue. (Probably not the best but sturdy enough, and fitted my budget more). Dug the holes about 90cm deep, put the poles in, made sure everything was leveled and poured the concrete in which was pretty dry in about 15 minutes. If there are any questions or anything els I'll gladly answer them! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 08:56 AM PDT I'm trying to achieve press to handstand but looks so impossible I'm not sure how to progress. I can do more than one minute handstand straight line and I can do about 5 handstand push ups and I can do handstand to tuck 3 /4 times but any time I try to do from floor I can't lift my legs up even if I try to do straddle negatives I can't do it at all not even against to the wall. Is my mobility the big problem? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 10:52 AM PDT Hi community! My coworker and I are looking for recommendations for a lunch hour work out video or series. We work in an office and have the space for a work out and a computer to watch it on. Preferably something with no equipment needed beside a yoga mat or a sturdy chair. We are open to any type of workout. Let me know your suggestions [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 12:29 PM PDT So, I'm not sure if I'm doing dips right. I have recently moved from mainly doing BB and DB work to substituting that kind of work with bodyweight stuff. I don't know why, but I just prefer it. Now the thing is, in my workout today I had 5 rounds of 12 reps of dips, goblet squats, db Arnold press and db rom deadlifts. Performed every 5 minutes on the minute. The dips felt good with a 24kg kettlebell for the full 5 rounds, but I just did not feel like I was getting a contraction in my chest the same way that I normally would when using dumbbells or a barbell. does anyone have any useful resources they can share on how I can get a better squeeze? I tried bodyweight only, and it was marginally better, which would indicate it my set up that could be flawed? Has anyone else experienced this? I really want to get great at weighted dips and pull ups, and possible weighted muscle ups. [link] [comments] |
| Stuck at 147.6 lbs for a month now, what do I do? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 11:22 AM PDT Do I increase my calories intake? Because im still eating the same calories as before, I don't know why my weight has stop increasing. [link] [comments] |
| Hip flexors working instead of abs and how to prevent this Posted: 15 Sep 2020 11:15 AM PDT Hello guys, first post let's get straight to the point: my hip flexors are working instead of my abs, thus sabotaging my gains on some core exercises. Leg raises, russian twists and sit ups, just to name a few, are core exercise that i feel EXCLUSIVELY in my legs (yes, i know, sit ups are bad and whatever, but i really really would like to knock out some good old fashioned sit ups with proper form). On the other hand, i have absolutely no problem with planks and side planks and even crunches. My glute bridges are pretty strong too. Any tips about this situation? [link] [comments] |
| Lower body exercises for grease the groove? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 09:07 PM PDT Hi all. During this lock-down / working from home situation, I want to try running Grease the Groove for two movements, one upper and one lower. Being able to do this from home is quite a unique opportunity. I've settled on chin-ups for my upper body movement, I can currently do 11 strict dead-hang, so I will use sets of 5-6 throughout the day. I am not sure what to do for the lower body that would provide an adequate challenge? I can't do a single pistol squat (due to mobility). Should I start with a progression for those? Everything aside from pistols I can think of feels 'too easy' (like lunges, etc). One option I considered was the unweighted bulgarian split squat. I can use my couch to go very deep on those, still not sure if they're challenging enough though. [link] [comments] |
| Realistic and Timed Goals - How do you set them? Posted: 15 Sep 2020 02:48 AM PDT Hello, From browsing through this thread and a lot of other resources it seems like it is general consensus to set proper goals every once in a while. So that got me thinking of how you actually go from a vague idea "I'd like to be strong" to "In 10 weeks, I want to be able to do 8 clean Muscle Ups in one set". I assume this process and how specific the goals are vary from person to person so I hope this sparks some discussion on what process you go through when setting these goals. My main questions are:

| Posted: 15 Sep 2020 12:42 AM PDT Stats: 20 years old, 5'8" (172.72 cm), 165.5lbs (75 kg) typically, black. So, long story short, I'm literally almost there. I've milked the prior steps as much as I can. Here's my level:
Yet, when I attempt to do a one arm chin-up (or pull-up), I can go halfway up. ONLY halfway. I've been at this level for about 1 year and a half. I took several deloads throughout this period thinking that was the problem, and although my overall pulling strength has gotten stronger (better negatives, easier concentrics), I at MOST can go up 3/4 of the way. The top half is definitely my weakest point. Some friends (none of who work out, btw) said that maybe I simply am not meant to ever have the ability to perform this move, but then I shouldn't be able to do the negatives nor the assisted concentric with that kind of logic. I need help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 05:42 PM PDT Hi. I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on handstand progressions, specifically whether the yaad approach of staying away from the wall is better or an approach incorporating wall work is better. It may be that there is no better and its just tradeoffs but it would be great to know what those tradeoffs are! [link] [comments] |
| Prayer Planche Scapular Position Posted: 14 Sep 2020 05:32 PM PDT Does anyone know the right scapular position for prayer Planche? Or is the problem my strength? Stats: I can do 2 straddle Planche Pushups, 2 straddle Planche presses, 16s Straddle Planche, and 4s full Planche [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:47 PM PDT Quick question: I noticed after trying RTO ring dips for the first time I could only do 4 or 5 which surprised me. What is it that makes them so much more difficult and is that worth doing as my higher intensity press as opposed to weighted straight bar dips or weighted pusb ups? My goals are honestly just keeping healthy and fit. I don't care about winning Mr. <insert attribute here> Competition or anything. My main focus is conditioning but like to keep my general strength up as best I can with some basic compound movements EDIT: I should clarify that when I ask if they are worth it I mean that I enjoy them and wonder if they are worth replacing the weighted pushup as a main press [link] [comments] |

| Problems transitioning from light band assist OAP to full OAP Posted: 14 Sep 2020 04:23 PM PDT as the title says, I had this problem previously and had a max on weighted pullups of 140lbish at 212 66% bw. I now sit around 205 and can pull 160 LB weighted pullup, 163 if belt is included, so basically 80%. I just tried band assisted OAP today Found out that on a 15 lb band asssist I could do 3 maybe 4 reps, and pause at the top for about 8-10 seconds per arm. So my strength is roughly the same as it was before. I may be able to be a bit stronger logically given that my weighted pullup has gone up, as i see dramatica improvements quickly as i get use to tucking my elbow again over how i performed maybe a few minutes hours or days ago. I feel a little more familiar with it, but still am not super comftorable with the movement given its been a few months. Given my strength level with weighted pullups and the fact that im capable of doing OAC with this level of band assist. Many people reccomend negatives or lockoffs with no assist, and tell me i have the numbers for them. Can't do any sort of lockoff or negative, can bend my arm slightly in the bottom, but can't quite make the pull. I can do negatives with very minor assistance amounts but not unassisted, and I don't like training with them cause i find it hard to recover my elbow, and id rather do OAC 2-3x a week with things easier on the joint as i beleive the tradeoff of frequency is not worth it. Any suggestions with how to proceed? Im currently just feeling out the movement and trying to get ahold of vadym oleynik's OAP/OAC program that he releases this month for free. OAC is the hardest move to balance proper training and joint health imo. [link] [comments] |
