| I hit my first ever set of 5 pullups! Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:09 AM PDT Im pretty happy right now. Ive been doing Calisthenics seriously for about 1 year now. I couldn't do 3 squats, a single push-up, let alone a pull-up. I started at around 275 lbs. I started off thinking that to get strong I needed to eat hella food. Having a slow metabolism and a sub par bodyweight circuit I gained 12 lbs in 2 months. It was all fat, I came to this sub reddit and educated myself. I asked my dad and people I knew who worked out religiously for advice, I came up with a good weekly routine and a general sense of diet. In 6 months of trial and error i lost about 20ish pounds. Sitting at around 263lbs I managed my first pull-up 2 months ago. I've trained even harder since then, reaching my lightest weight since middle school at 251lbs. But recently due to improper pull-up form and impatience, I strained my neck muscles. I didnt want to let that keep me down, after 2 days of massaging and rest, I could to my routine with the exception of pull-ups or chin-ups. Today however, coming back in ready to do pull-ups again, I made sure everything was right: retracted scapula, slight hinge in the elbow, and starting at a dead hang. I made it a priority to engage the lats and not the neck or traps. Though I tried to go for 6 and ended up half repping the last rep, I still think it was a win. Ive made good progress thus far and I cant wait for whats next. Thank you guys for giving me knowledge and motivation. -squidy [link] [comments] |
| How exactly are my feet supposed to slide on the wall during wall assisted handstand push ups? Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:38 PM PDT I am doing them for delts. I face my chest towards the wall. Every time I descend and ascend it feels like the friction between my bare feet/socks and the wall is limiting my ability to go up and down. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2020 06:41 AM PDT I'm just curious... did anyone here train with bodyweight exercises only during the pandemic and then go back to lifting weights at the gym? How were your lifts when you first returned to the gym? Did your lifts get stronger or weaker? [link] [comments] |
| Entering an advanced tuck planche Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:01 AM PDT Has anyone ever tried this guy's method of getting into an advanced tuck? I personally find it much better when it comes to training planche on the floor. I can do it longer and more consistently with the method here. He mentions that starting from a normal tuck and then just "lower your legs and lean forward" is very hard and uncomfortable (which I kind of agree with). Instead, in the video he just gets on his hands and knees, lean forward and lift the feet up. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2020 10:52 AM PDT So I always have been working out but had a hard time staying consistent, though I will this time. I can safely say that I am able to perform advanced-level pushups. I recently made a calisthenics workout program but I can hardly do any pike presses, it's not because of my arms but more likely from my legs and lack of flexibility. What are your suggestions?

| Best follow along body-weight program? Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:47 PM PDT Hi guys, I've been neglecting my workouts lately and need to get back on track. I much prefer a video of following along with different progressions. I'm in ok shape; 40 or pushups, 20 pull ups. I have a squat rack as well as gymnastic rings. I'm looking to improve my core strength and overall strength in general and don't mind paying a monthly fee, I just want to make sure i'm able to follow a specific routine that gets progressively harder. Any ideas? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Sep 2020 12:46 PM PDT So without going into all the nitty-gritty of my entire training plan, suffice to say I have a Monday, Wednesday, Friday routine for chin-ups. I have been using an app and have made great gains using progressive interval sets. My PR for chin-ups has been stuck at 24 for a very very very long time now. And it got to the point where 22 was all I can do and the other day when I tried the best I could eek out was 16. I know, I know, maybe time for a rest week, right? Tried that. No help. However, I flipped my hands around to do pull ups, and BLAMMO! I crank out 29! What muscle is holding me back? Why might I need to isolate for a bit? Do I just go back to pull ups and grind away?

| What are some non-floor ab exercises? Posted: 22 Sep 2020 11:07 AM PDT I am trying to get fit again in my apartment (no gym). I broke my tailbone about 10 years ago which never healed fully. Thus, I can't do any exercises that involve putting weight or pressure on my tailbone on the ground. I feel like that really limits ab exercises I can do at home (ex. no sit ups, v-ups, or any variations of those), so I've just been doing push ups and planks, but I'm looking for more ab-specific exercises. What are some exercises you can recommend I do in place of floor-based ab exercises? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| What fun bodyweight workouts have you guys done in the past that worked? Posted: 21 Sep 2020 06:12 PM PDT I'm pretty new to all of this and I've been following a schedule that Mark Lauren's gave in his book. Obviously I trust him and know I can succeed by following him, but I'm not having any fun when I do them anymore. Does anyone here have fun regimens that they've followed that work really well? Thank you very much, sincerely- a weak dogo [link] [comments] |
| Resistance Band & Training till Fatigue - Noob Questions Posted: 21 Sep 2020 08:38 PM PDT So I've bought a couple of resistance bands when I´ve started to workout - does still make sense to use assisted exercises to build strength for my Biceps, Triceps, Back, and Shoulder? Especially for Biceps and shoulders in which I find it hard to focus o bodyweight training(except for bar curls, which are already in my set). My back I'm working with progressions, being way easier to work rows than pull-ups - as I still miss strength in my grip and I need to better train my scapula, fixing my overall postures(working with So what advice would you give me: give up on the resistance band and focus on 100% bodyweight workout? Also, what could I do to "free" my shoulder blades and get able to start with pull-up focused training? Two last quick questions: - Is it possible to train bodyweight exercises and skills altogether with martial arts or would come to be overtraining losing quality in both? Thanks in Advance!

| Posted: 21 Sep 2020 05:46 PM PDT I have some balance issues while doing pistol and shrimp squats. It's like a 50% chance I lose balance and fall while doing these. How can I improve my balance so that I can do these comfortably and focus on the movement? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Sep 2020 05:01 PM PDT i see professional calisthenics athletes doing weighted pullups and they just go up and down and i used to do that too but now ive noticed if i slighty lean back during my pullups then i get a bit more lat activation and less biceps, but ever since i made this change i had to drop the weight in order to keep form and to be able to do it in my rep range, is this because leaning back is really alot harder? also if i feel my back more how come these athletes with over 15 years of training dont do it too, the way they do pullups is what i feel is a beginner mistake that i made by adding to much weight and not engaging my back properly (not leaning back slighty) because if i just go straight up i feel my biceps alot more also since im into calsithenics im doing alot of different pullup variations and playing with the tempo and rep ranges and grips with each exercise and i do 4 sets per exercise, is that bad?

| Free Weight Training Recommendations and Experiences Posted: 21 Sep 2020 02:29 PM PDT Hello everyone, I was hoping to get some tips on a free weights routine. I have been doing the RR for 5 months and am pretty much doing the hardest progressions for each exercise. I have added weights (35lb on dip 45lb on pullup) to a couple of the exercises, but I am not progressing at the rate I would like in spite of generally meeting my protein and meeting my calorie targets. My broader plan is to switch to some isolation exercises mainly through free weight training and some added work with machines (gasp) with the aim of moving back onto advanced BWF movements with a stronger foundation. The building I live in has a gym with some basic machines (leg press, latt pull down, row, leg pull down[?] ) and a dumbbell weight rack. As it stands now, I plan to use the app 'Fitbod' to automatically program my training. I will probably go with this program for at least 6-12 weeks to build up a base of strength and develop my comfort level with a wide range of new movements I might later try to use in my own strength program. That said I have a few questions:

| how do I get small but strong muscles? Posted: 21 Sep 2020 05:28 PM PDT hey bodyweight fitness! I am a beginner in calisthenics. Been doing it for a couple months and have seen great improvements in bodyweight movements. I would say I have achieved my goal. I'm making a new long term goal and I need your help. My new goal is that I want to get skinner but build plenty of strength. So how do build small but very strong muscle? The physique im talking about can be described like bruce lee, heck even our modern media shows a very similar physique, e.g. One Punch Man. Any feedback is appreciated! [link] [comments] |
