| Ars Corpus website I just discovered with very clear BW exercises instructions and progressions Posted: 04 Oct 2020 08:00 AM PDT I just recently discovered the site mentioned in the title. It is full of progression exercises and videos with clear instructions, no fluff straight to the points. I stumbled on it while looking for L-Sit progression exercises. There is a long list of exercises with different levels (progression exercises), and different stages for each level, depending on how long you can hold the positions or number of reps you can do, a lot of pictures and videos, even tables with sets and reps or time to hold positions before moving on to the next stage of each level. quick link to the "gymnastics" page so you can scroll down and click any exercise / progression to see how it looks if you are interested: https://arscorpus.com/gymnastique.php The whole website is in French though, because I am french it showed in my search results, so activate the google translate on it, but I think it's really worth to take a look. Disclaimer : I do not know the owner of the website and I am not affiliated to him in any way, I am not trying to advertise, just thought I would share because I thought it was good work and it could be useful to a lot of people. edit : English is not my first language, sorry if it shows edit 2 : I changed the link with https as suggested in the comments. Just to be clear, this is NOT my website. There is nothing to sell there, and there are no adds. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:10 AM PDT Hey everyone! Hope y'all have been well. I have a question that's been on my mind the past few days now. Is training like a solider sustainable for the long-term? Context: I've been more and more interested in focusing on highly functional training vs aesthetic training. So, I imagine that training like a soldier would have a person ready for almost anything, right? I imagine my training would focus on being able to run long distances, strength and a functional martial arts component like boxing and BJJ. My only concern is the high intensity regiment that recruits go through in boot camp. Is a high intensity workout program like that sustainable long-term? What do y'all think? EDIT: Thank y'all for your insights! I'll go for a more tailored program based around my goals. [link] [comments] |
| M/15/5’8/138lbs. 2 Years Calisthenics Progress. Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:51 PM PDT PICS: https://imgur.com/a/gvzyUJV Hello everyone. When I was about 13 i suffered from eating disorders, a few months prior to the first picture I was about 30-40lbs heavier and I felt like shit 24/7. I was really upset about the way I looked and I decided to make a change. However, I did not choose to do it the healthy way. I lose all that weight in 3 months. I was eating only about 800 calories a day, and due to the severity of my deficit when all the fat was lost I was left looking terribly skinny and weak. When I saw how I looked at first, I didn't really realize that I was so skinny and unhealthy. But luckily I realized that I could benefit from putting on some mass, so I did. Ever since then I've been training on and off for a couple of years, and luckily my poor relationship with food has been resolved. At least for the most part. My routine consists of primarily calisthenics, and a few weighted exercises. Right now i'm eating at 1800cals daily, as i'm on a cut. I keep my fats and proteins pretty high, and fill the rest of my calories with carbs. My routine consists of 3 exercises per major muscle group, 5 sets each. I usually train 1-2 sets from failure. A typical chest day goes as follows: Weighted Ring Push-up: 5x1-2 reps from failure Incline DB Bench: 5x1-2 reps from failure Ring Dip: 5x-1-2 reps from failure Any critiques are welcome, I wanna know what you guys think I could improve on moving forward.

| Following the recommended routine, need help with rings dip progression (specifically support holds) Posted: 04 Oct 2020 05:17 AM PDT I've been following the RR for around 5 or 6 weeks now and I've seen an amazing improvement in strength and even body muscle. I had nowhere to workout so after some research the cheapest way to get started was with rings. I'm loving the rings, they are so versatile and I don't get bored with them like I have in the past with other exercises. I know that if used improperly they can be dangerous so I have been very careful to follow the recommended progressions. The one I'm having trouble understanding is the dips progression. I know that I have to start out with support holds and try to get RTO support holds down before I even attempt dips, but I don't have the arm strength required yet. Should I be focusing on trying to do 60 seconds standard holds and then moving on to RTO holds? I have no problem holding 60 seconds on bars, but the rings are more unstable. I've been trying what I saw in a video, it's basically RTO but with toes touching the ground for stability, it's difficult but I can do it for a short amount of time. What's the best way to progress from here? Thanks for reading! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:22 PM PDT Currently I have solidified my tuck planche (18 seconds) and am able to do 4-5 tuck planche push-ups with full ROM, however I still cannot transition to the advanced tuck. What I found out is that I can hold an L planche (lower back straightened, but legs perpendicular to floor) for about 8 seconds and I'm planning to use it in training. Should I, though? Or should I stick with increasing tuck planche duration and planche leaning? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 05:50 AM PDT Does anyone have any tips for mastering the eccentric Muscle Up. I am able to do deep ring dips and FG pull ups but struggle to control the eccentric transition part of the movement? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 04:23 AM PDT Hi Guys, For some time now I've been looking for a rings hypertrophy routine. I do not have any experience with programming fitness routines and so as few days ago I was almost convinced to purchase BodyByRings by Daniel Vadnal. But than I stumbled upon this post Calisthenics Intermediate Hypertrophy Program using Dr. Mike Israetel's Volume Guidelines on r/bodyweightfitness and I have decided to try and create something by myself before I spend almost 100 $. And so I've done my reading: - https://renaissanceperiodization.com/hypertrophy-training-guide-central-hub/; - and of course some more Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/weightroom/comments/6674a4/dr_mike_israetels_training_tips_for_hypertrophy/ And because following those guidelines seemed rather straightforward and can be implemented to every sort of fitness training, I deviced something like that: My Hypertrophy Rings Routine (spreadsheet). It is a FBW (3x per week) program that is deviced for 6 weeks mesocycle's (6th week is a deload week). I know that many of hypertrophy programs utilize 2x push - 2x pull split, but I do not have time to workout four days a week. And so... my hypertrophy rings routine consists of two workouts (A, B) which work the same muscle groups but in a slightly different way. Selection of exercises is rather arbitrary and can be changed to your liking. The main idea is that each week you increase a total number of sets working certain muscle group but the maximum weekly volume of your workouts cannot exceed the so called MRV (which is Maximum Recoverable Volume). The trick is that You should steadily progress over the whole mesocycle and so You need to start at lower side of effective volume and progressively increase the number of sets that You do. I.e: Workout A and B include one chest exercise each, and so you work your chest three times a week. First Week its: 2 x 4 sets of Ring Chest Flys + 1 x 4 sets of Ring Push ups (progression) = so 12 sets of chest work in total (number of reps is up to You but should be in hypertrophy range so 5 - 15 or so) Second week its: 1 x 4 sets of Ring Chest Flys + 2 x 5 sets of Ring Push ups (progression) = so 14 sets of chest work in total and so on... Of course after completing mesocycle you can repeat the same program with different number of reps of each exercise or with differen progressions. The main pro of this kind of programming for me is that it is quite easy to implement and is very versatile. The main problem is that 7 exercises give you a total of 40 (sic!) sets per workout on week 5 which I believe will make some of us to beg for the deload (which is included btw) :) not to mention the time it will take to complete. What do You think about it? [Btw. feel free to utilize the spreadsheet any way you like] [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:17 AM PDT Title says it all but I think I would be considered intermediate in calisthenics I have my weak points like everyone else but my core is for sure my strength, any thoughts on how long? [link] [comments] |
| What ring calisthenics exercise do you recommend for MMA or muay thai Posted: 03 Oct 2020 10:35 PM PDT Hello a combat athlete here and i wanted to ask what exercises you definitely recommend for building strength and endurance just so like when you are ready to go fight your performance is insane-sane-sane [link] [comments] |
| My standard pushup numbers are not increasing like everything else. Posted: 03 Oct 2020 06:29 PM PDT I'm just getting back into body weight fitness All my other numbers have basically doubled. Even my wide arm pushup numbers have almost doubled. Years ago I got up to 100 pushups a day. But I now i can't go past 25 push ups. I've been doing 2 or 3 sets of 15 pushups for a few weeks now and still can't go past 25 in a row. [link] [comments] |
| Training for Progress vs Training for Fun Posted: 04 Oct 2020 03:08 AM PDT So, in the last few days I came to realise that the fastest and most efficient way to get stronger is to actually commit to a workout program rather than trying different variations every other day. Let's say I am committed to a plan and being consistent with it and I still have some juice left. Would it be a good idea to just randomly do different exercises (just the fun part)? Is it healthy/safe/sustainable? Or would it be a good idea to have two workout sessions? Like one session for fun and the other for the progress/uncomfortable stuff? Really looking forward to read your advices and experiences. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2020 08:10 PM PDT Before I start, my gym does not have a straight bar, and only has the angled ones with rubber grips so I don't know if that affects anything. I'm 16, 5'9. I can do 8 reps with 25 extra lbs with my 140 lbs body weight. I came easily get my lower chest to the bar when I do normal pull-ups. I can do leg raises pretty easily. Whenever I try to muscle up, I get stuck on the transition to the dip, ABD I can't generate enough power to get my chest over the bar.I feel like I can do a muscle up, but I don't know where I'm going wrong. I've watched so many videos on technique, and I've picked up that I may not be killing enough, or rotating my wristd. Is it because I'm not kipping enough, or is it for a lack of strength? Please help because I'm truly lost and don't know where to go. Thanks :). [link] [comments] |
