    Pushups daily in military

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:51 AM PDT

    Former ppl from udt say that they did hundreds of pushups daily and pullups daily as well (for example, they had to do before each meal). They run several kilometers a day too. how the hell do they recover? I'm sure they built up to that level of fitness over time but still.

    My 2 month progress from borderline anorexic, to an almost average bmi (no pictures)

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 11:44 AM PDT

    I am a skinny dude. Skinnier than most people would think is skinny, however not so skinny that you would call it anorexia. For my whole life I've been underweight. And as of 2 months ago, I was 17, 5"6, 45kg. However one day I just decides to try to get my legs a bit bigger by doing 100 squats a day.

    At first it was hell, but then I got use to it. Then after a while I decided to add pushups. Then I added inverted rows, then this, then that, and so on. Until finally I had a full on workout routine. Over time I made the workouts harder and harder until it reached what it is today.

    In the past 2 months, I've been eating more, and exercising more, which culminated in a 5kg weight gain. Yeah I still look super skinny but I'm working on it. It just feels so surreal that for the first time in my life, i might have an average bmi (53kg for my height and age).

    Despite quarantine screwing everyone over, it might have been the best thing to ever happen to my fitness and health.

    For reference, my workout routine as of now is: Upper body: Monday, Thursday, Saturday - 2 sets of 8 10kg pull ups - 2 sets of 8 pull ups - 4 sets of 10 single bar dips - 3 sets of 8 1 arm inverted rows (each arm) - 3 sets of 8 pseudo planche pushups - 3 sets of 8 15kg shoulder rows - 3 sets of 10 diamond pushups (1 minute rest between sets, 2 minute rest between exercises)

    Lower body: Tuesday, Friday - 3 sets of 8 pistol squats (each leg) - 3 sets of 10 10kg split squats (each leg) - 3 sets of 12 10kg jumping lunges - 4 sets of 12 15kg jump squats (1 minute rest between sets, 2 minute rest between exercises)

    Wednesday and Sunday are break days.

    Recommended fat loss routine with 30-minute or less workouts?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:11 PM PDT

    I checked the FAQ page, but the fat loss routine on there was a total of about 1 hour per workout day. I'm currently in medical school right now, and also helping around the house since my wife has to work all day. Therefore, I typically only have about 30-minute intervals to work with. Maybe as I become more efficient in my studying (I'm currently a first-year), I'll come back to the recommended 60-minute fat loss routine from the FAQ page.

    For now, all I'm asking is if anyone here has recommendations (e.g., websites, YouTube channels, etc.) with a reliable, at-home, bodyweight (and band) workouts that are only about 30 minutes long.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

    My impatience is demotivating me from getting into training again

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 04:39 AM PDT

    I remember that when I was 19, I wanted to quit being a useless sack of bones so I got myself into bodyweight fitness. At some point I was even able to do 5 sets of 10 weighted pull-ups as part of my routine, although the extra weight was to compensate for me being skinny lmao (I was 65kg on a good day, so I used 10kg weights). My goal back then was to get to at least 70kg with no more than 15% bodyfat (I'm 1.75m).

    Anyway. Lots of shit happened through the years. In short: I fell into depression again, stopped working out, got back up emotionally (but not physically) stronger than ever, made some friends, started going out with said friends to eat junk food, got to my goal weight but only because of my disgustingly huge belly and got my shit together finally (academically, economically, socially). Then the pandemic started.

    I'm 24 now. Just about to graduate. I also have more free time than ever, because both my university and work are remote. Since February, I've only been outside only a handful of times. Most of my time is spent sitting in front of my desktop, or lying in bed watching useless youtube videos on my phone. On the bright side, I'm no longer fat, but that's only because I'm no longer able to go out with friends for some junk food.

    Anyway, to the main point. I've been attempting to start working out again during the past few months. Every time I try, I realize how weak I've become, and then I quit. I can't deal with the fact that I struggle so much to get more than 1 pull-up, when I used to be able to get 10 in a row like it's nothing and with extra weight. I know very well that you can't expect results to show up immediately and that pull-ups are generally hard. When I was just starting, I was better at being patient because I was used to not being able to do even one pull-up, so the first time I got a proper one felt like an achievement. This time is different, though, because I've been stronger in the past than I am now, and I don't have the patience to go back to doing negative pull-ups and gradually moving to actual pull-ups. It feels like complete bullshit to me and pisses me off. I mean, just imagine that you left college for some time, and when you return they tell you "Sorry, you've got to go through kindergarten, primary and secondary school again". It pisses me off so much that I just can't go on with it. It makes me feel humiliated. It demotivates me to the point in which I feel like I don't want to work out ever again until I magically get stronger than I was before from one day to another.

    Has anyone here dealt with this? How am I supposed to overcome this? I want to get fit again, but I don't want to go through the basic steps when I've already done those. It feels like a waste of time, and I constantly feel like I'm running out of time (I'm some very awful case of gerascophobia, and feel very old already, so I want to be able to enjoy having a very fit and strong body as soon as I can).

    Really getting demotivated on my push-up work

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:34 PM PDT

    Hey everyone. I'm getting pretty frustrated at my lack of push-up progression. Despite a few months of working to try and improve tricep strength and doing incline pushups, I still can't do a single normal push up. Just about died when my 14 year old brother who never exercises did a workout with me and could do a couple pushups pretty easily :'( Does anyone have recommendations for how to improve my upper body training? Specifically workouts good for women? Thanks

    Littlebeastm's bodyweight program

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:25 PM PDT

    Hi guys,
    I have some questions for you. Has anyone tried Littlebeastm's bodyweight program? It's called Extreme Bodyweight Bodybuilding or something like that, I can't remember the exact name. Description said that it consists of 'deadly supersets' that can only be completed if you're mentally strong. It was available on his website a few years back, but all of it is gone now. I purchased LBM Blueprint when it first came out, but now I wanted to get this ebook and try those routines.

    Do you have any info about that program? Have you used it yourself? Can you share anything with me?

    Please, help. You can also PM me if you don't want to post in the comments. Thanks!

    How does fitness regimen work for people in military service? Is it something more advanced which the general public might not know? How effective is it?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 09:27 AM PDT

    I saw a comment on a popular post on here (Link https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/ioq5qw/pushups_daily_in_military/g4fpjiu?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)

    In which I read how their intention is peak performance for combat but the regimen also gets them malnutrition and that it's bad for their bodies. Before the discussion got political of course.

    Posting here so I could get some more answers from people who have actual experience with this

    OAC Progress: Only using non-weighte pull-ups

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 08:22 AM PDT

    https://imgur.com/gallery/fAymjWV

    I haven't been working out during COVID and I just wanted to try to see where my OAC was. Last year before I October my right was much stronger but a nerve injury in my neck pretty much decimated my right side. Pre-COVID things started coming back. I can do negatives on the right but heres me trying to start as low as possible on the left.

    As for whah I do for training, not much. Years ago I used to do a lot of weighted chins on the bar. I was doing 6 reps with 50lb added. Back then I actually trained for the OAC. Now I can do 7 regular pull ups on rings.

    I was hoping to progress this to at least being able to finish the negative on my left. However I go injured falling. I'm gonna be out at least a couple weeks.

    I feel like crap. I fell hard so this is my ego boost. Swimming like a fish.

    Is doing 5 days a week of full body body weight exercises too much?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:40 PM PDT

    I have been doing around full body body weight exercises with a little bit of resistance exercises for 3 months and I was wondering if I should keep doing full body every day or do different muscle groups per day?

    Is Sprinting Worth It?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:03 PM PDT

    So I've just started doing sprints on the hill outside my house on days where I train legs. Anyone else have good results from sprints? Right now I'm sprinting uphill for about 20 seconds and then resting/walking for 30.

    Lost weight and out of shape..

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 12:41 PM PDT

    I lost 8+lbs during pandemic since lost of job(since March 15th) I use to be in delivery so I had a lot of leg muscle that I lost since I'm just staying home,doing a lot of 420 being not being active and been gaming much more. I recently moved into a quiet neighborhood so I was thinking of getting a work out routine going because I have a small gut going and skinny legs and arms now 😅.. what would be a good source to put on weight I'm assuming turning to a diet that has more protein and I was thinking more running, I was also thinking of adding some resistance bands workouts as well. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Biking and grip strength

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 12:33 PM PDT

    I learnt how to ride a bike last week at 25 (lame, i know, i just never had one) and my hands were gripping the handles like crazy, I don't know if I'll ease up as i get more comfortable with the bike but I was just wondering if that grip would improve my grip strength over time. Thanks!

    I got my first back lever!!

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 04:32 PM PDT

    I have been training calisthenics for less than a year, and have only really worked on my front lever progressions, but I trained very irregularly so I never made much progress.

    2 months ago I decided to start training on a more regular basis and went to my local playground to practice front levers, back levers, and my human flag.

    Stats(July): 18M 6'0 135 lbs

    1 leg FL 4 second hold Sloppy tuck back lever 5 second hold Tuck planche hold on paralettes (3 seconds)

    Stats(Sept):

    135-> 137 lbs

    Sloppy straddle FL (2 second hold) 1 leg fl (7 second hold) Full back lever (sloppy 3 second hold) Tuck planche on ground (5 second hold)

    Let me know if you have any questions :)

    question about 1rm

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:24 AM PDT

    on back day my main lift is 5 sets of overhand pullups and i do 2 sets of 4 to failure and then i add weight and do 3x3 to failure. i do my warmup sets for 2x4 and i dont go to failure on my warmup sets. i want to also train 1rm but i dont want it to be a seperate exercise i wanna build up to my 1rm and then use my 3x3 as a back off sets.

    1. can i do that and does it work, if not how should i set it up
    2. lets say i do 3 warmup sets 1x25% 1x50% 1x75% , do i go to failure on those sets or stay away from failure as its a warmup
    3. once i get to my topset of 1rm do i just do 1 set and then do 3x3 as backoff or do i do multiple sets at 1rm and then backoff?

    ive never trained 1rm before so i dont know how many sets i need to do because i see some people just do 1 set then back off set and sometimes i see other do like 5 sets. im not sure how back off set works either so can you please explain. also 1 more question lets say i do multiple sets of 1rm can i do a drop set on my last set or is that something your not meant to do?

    any advice is appreciated thanks in advance
