| Proper grip for pullups/chin-ups. Posted: 10 Oct 2020 06:52 AM PDT According to this video and this picture which everyone says to watch if any questions about proper grip comes up, you should grip the bar with the first division of your finger so you don't get calluses on your palms, which inevitably rip of at some point but according to this video you shouldn't do this because it can cause injuries, so what do you think what grip should we use the Athelan x version or the Mark Rippetoe grip. Edit: too people saying to not be scared of getting calluses i am not i don't even care if i get them or not i just don't want them ripping and i also want to avoid any possible injuries [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 08:21 AM PDT Today I had my last session of the Recommend Routine! I am very emotional right now because the past few months were challenging, both physically and mentally. Still, I was able to accomplish the goals that I set 3 months ago. I am 22 y/o male, 77 kg —> 67 kg. I am halfway through my medical degree, and because of the pandemic, I have been doing online classes. This allowed me to use the 'extra time' to work out and learn about bodyweight fitness (I had no experience before this). I have been reading the posts in this subreddit whenever I have study breaks, and I have learned a lot! I want to thank this subreddit because you guys are awesome! I have been in a calorie deficit for the entirety of the program. I have been eating at least 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight. During my research, I realized that I have been doing a recomposition process (building muscle & losing fat). I will be switching to a hypertrophy-based program. Also, I will be changing my diet to the optimal recomposition macros and calories. P.S. I apologize if there were grammar mistakes. English is not my first language. TL;DR: Medical student had extra time, did the RR for 3 months, lost 10kgs [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 04:23 PM PDT Forgive me if this is a question better suited for elsewhere. As the title says, I have recently lost access to any kind of pull-up or row bar due to a period of isolation and being trapped in my room (which may well become more frequent). I've made some good progress since March with the RR and I don't want to see it lost. I have however acquired a dumbbell kit. My question is how should I incorporate this new-fangled technology into the RR to best fill in the gaps left by the pull-up/row progressions. Any recommendations for new progressions or exercises to consider will be appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 06:21 PM PDT As the title says... my gym has closed again after my city has gone back into stage 2. Going to the gym was some of the most peace I've felt in months as they have pull up bars, parallel bars, and a TRX for me to do rows. Although there are several at home alternatives to rows, dips and pull ups, believe me, none of them are applicable to my situation (paper thin door frames, weak drywall, no counter corners etc.). I bought a pair of rings to use on a tree outside preparing for this scenario but winter is already coming (I live in Toronto, Canada...). I don't know, just needed to vent, as I've been doing the RR for about three weeks now and have finally started seeing progress only for the gym to close. Anyone else in my situation?

| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 05:29 AM PDT I've recently started RR and cannot do any scapular pull, I am able to pull myself maybe 5 cm 5-6 times. What's the best course of action here?
Thought? :/ [link] [comments] |
| Thoughts on cluster sets to force progression Posted: 10 Oct 2020 07:50 AM PDT After hitting stagnation in my training I have been using a form of cluster sets to force progression upon myself and after one year using this strategy I have to admit it is most likely the most successful programming approach I've had in my 8 years experience doing Calisthenics. Just thought I'd put this out there if some you have similar experiences, or looking for inspiration regarding programming. This is how I personally do it: - each week I add 1 rep to all my sets of all my exercises - usually I am not able to add 1 rep, because adding one rep of for example planche press os pretty intense (DUUHH!). - so instead I add 1 cluster (a sub set with about 10-20 second rest) with 1 rep - next week same procedure, adding either 1 rep to the second cluster, or yet another cluster of 1 rep. - I never do more than 3 clusters - I keep adding to the clusters until I can do one more rep in the first cluster and the alorithm start from scratch again. Not sure if this was clear? 😅 Example: This week I did 4 sets with 2 clusters each of the straddle planche press using a thin resistance band. First cluster I did 7 reps and second cluster 3 reps. Next week I'll probably do 7+4 reps in each sets and the week after, or the next hopefully do 4 sets of 8 reps. Do any of you implement similar rep schemes? [link] [comments] |
| Seeking to increase push-up and pull-up counts Posted: 10 Oct 2020 12:35 PM PDT I can crank out around 47 push-ups and about 6 pull-ups and have been stalled there for awhile. Tried both the 100 pushups and 20 pullups plans that I've seen floated around for awhile, but this far they're not showing results. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Are Russian Dips “Worth it” to learn? Posted: 10 Oct 2020 08:48 AM PDT Good afternoon all! I've been doing calisthenics for years now, and am currently following the Quarantine Workout Template from r/naturalbodybuilding as my workout plan. I'd rather do this than the RR or any of the sidebar routines, because my primary goal is aesthetics. For my horizontal pushing movement, I currently do one-armed pushups for 4 sets of 10. I've been thinking, however, of progressing it. The routine guidelines say that next, I should try decline one-armed pushups. But, we're getting off topic, and this question is more for curiosity and future reference than it is for immediate praxis. Does the Russian Dip engage the chest/shoulders/triceps more than the standard dip does? I think the answer to that would probably end up being a resounding "yes". But what I'm interested in is in your opinion, is it worth learning for someone like me? I care a lot more about aesthetics than actual skills, and want something that's going to target the chest, and do so HARD. It kind of seems like Russian dips aren't THAT much harder than normal dips, and I'm wondering if for strength and aesthetics purposes it would just be more effective to do more/heavier standard dips. And before you guys say it, I know ring dips are incredible as well. But do they actually engage the chest and triceps that much more than a standard dip, or does the difficulty of this movement stem from a skill/balance standpoint? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 11:39 AM PDT Hi all, I am searching for a gym/facility/community where i can intensively learn movement/strength/callisthenics for at least 15-20 hours a week (for people who are not high level, but who are still really motivated)? Can be located anywhere in the world as I am free to travel. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 07:49 AM PDT My goal is to achive the bar muscle up, i can do 3 ring muscle ups, 15 chest to bar pull ups, 15 straight bar dips. How should i start? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:39 PM PDT Has anyone tried this pull up bar? I'm wary of the Amazon affiliate/ambassador marketing shenanigans so I don't trust the reviews or YouTube content. It seems to be more sturdy than a standard cantilever pull up bar, includes TRX style loops, and can fold flat. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TB24V9C/ Is it worth double the price compared to the popular Iron Gym cantilever style?

| Street lifting, hard job and reste Posted: 10 Oct 2020 02:22 AM PDT Hello Hope every one is Ok ! I need advice on how to manage my training. I have a very physical job, I am a landscape gardener and besides that I have started to street lifting. My performance is pretty bad: dips 50kg 2RM chin ups 40kg 2RM I use a push / pull / legs format and I would like to focus on hypertrophy and strength but with work I'm so tired. I would like to have feedback if some are like me and know how you want to optimize your training. thank you [link] [comments] |
| Routine for weighted calisthenics Posted: 09 Oct 2020 08:58 PM PDT I just hit 1RM for dip at 135lbs on rings(I understand rings aren't the best for weighted dips, planning to buy the dip attachment/bars ASAP) and 105lbs on pull up. I just finished running Micha Schulz king of weighted program and was wondering if anyone had other routines they recommend. I didn't like the progression scheme for the king of weighted program but it definitely helped improve my upper body lifts. I believe my lower body responds better to high volume so I think I want to switch back to nSuns for lower body only. Mainly want to focus on weighted dips/pull ups but still planning to incorporate planche/front lever work. My thoughts were to change the dip/pull up sets so if x amount of weight is hit for x amount of reps then increase the weight for next week just like nSuns. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Oct 2020 03:21 AM PDT My legs don't extend very high up as it is supposed to. As such I'm unable to achieve a boat shape. How do I fix this? I always feel my lower back engaging. [link] [comments] |
| Moving on from the Recommended Routine and what to do for legs Posted: 08 Oct 2020 03:18 PM PDT I did the Recommended Routine for the summer and am now looking to move on. Currently I'm trying out Antranik's bodyweight routine and then Jokester's PPL. I'm not too big of a fan of either but I would like to do a 6 day PPL routine. I'd like to do some sprints and plyometrics but I don't know what to follow for that. Also I don't have much equipment available so doing plyo at home might be challenging [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 03:49 PM PDT Hello, I got my first strict ring muscle up last week, but I've been going a little too hard in my attempt to grease the groove since then. I've been practicing my strict muscle ups, false grip, and assisted muscle ups every other day prior to starting the RR. Also, I've been doing the RR for about 5 months, and I've been using rings the entire time. After finishing my false grip practice for today, I ripped a huge flap of skin off the ball of my wrist (precisely where contact is with false grip on rings). My question is: what is the best method to encourage healing? Should I clip the flap of skin off with some nail trimmers? Would it be okay if tomorrow or the next day I continue training ring muscle ups but perhaps with a wrap over my blister? Thank you!! [link] [comments] |
