| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 05:23 AM PDT Is'nt losing inches but not weight means your losing fat but gaining muscle? How is that possible if I don't do weights or anything? My scale doesn't move but my clothes and face look thinner. I don't work out. But scale not moving. [link] [comments] |
| Stuck on 3x6 negative dips for about three weeks now, what should I do? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:51 AM PDT I've been doing the RR for a month now. Three times a month, and I reached 3x6 negative dips around the third day of the RR but never progressed since then (today was day 14). It's not even supposed to be one of the harder progressions but I haven't been able to do more reps consistently (maybe I can do 7 on the first set, but then only 5 for the two other ones, and I can never get to 7 reps for the last set). Is that an indication that I'm not eating enough for growth? Overall I don't think I've progressed much, just started with progressions that I could already do when I began (for example, I could probably already do the piked pushup since the beginning but I started with diamond pushups and slowly increased reps/moved on to the next progression). For some context, I'm a 19 year old male, 5'7, ~130lbs, and I track my eating (today was ~345g carbs, ~87g fat, ~167g protein for ~2970kcals). I also do 15 minutes of skipping as a warm up for the RR and 20-30 minutes of skipping on off days. [link] [comments] |
| Progressing dips - how much weight? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 08:09 AM PDT Firstly apologies if this is answered somewhere but I couldn't find it in the FAQ - found discussions about vests vs belts but nothing on actual weight. I'm comfortably at 3x8 PB dips and can maintain a 60s support hold on rings. I did a test run on ring dips and it did not feel comfortable/safe at all so I want to do weighted dips as my progression. Going to grab a dip belt this week (Prime day so hopeful get some savings!) but have no idea what or how many weights I should be getting and how to progress with them. I'm thinking add 5kg, work up to 3x8 and then add another 5kg, but don't know if that's a good idea at all. [link] [comments] |
| bodyweight hamstrings - creative way to anchor my ankles under something heavy? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:19 AM PDT I want to start doing bodyweight hamstring curls by anchoring the back of my ankles under something heavy, with my stomach facing down, and then curling up using my hamstrings. In the videos that I watch, people usually use a heavy bed or other heavy furniture or even a weighted bench. Problem is that I don't have anything heavy enough in my house to anchor my ankles under. I'm a minimalist and don't even have a bed (I sleep on the floor). However, I'm willing to buy something that could work. Requesting the community to please suggest something that I could use (e.g. by screwing on to the floor) for bodyweight hamstring curls. ----------- UPDATE: I'm probably going to go with this Telescopic pull-up bar idea from the comments below: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/j910h3/bodyweight_hamstrings_creative_way_to_anchor_my/g8h9ibp/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 [link] [comments] |
| How to break the muscle up barrier Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:32 AM PDT At the moment I can do about 10+ good form pullups, but I just cant seem to get myself up over the bar for a muscle up. I can do the second half of it the pushing up part but I cant get over the bar. Are there any specific exercises that can help me do that or do I just need more prcatice? [link] [comments] |
| Ring setup on a non sturdy anchor Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:23 AM PDT Hi guys, I used to Do my Ring workout on a wood beam from a swing. However, because im tall, this is a suboptimal setup for pullups and I am definetly too weak and have to Do some heavy work on them. So I used the woodbeams from my roof and put some hooks in there with a Metal Ring attached. These Rings a my anchorpoints to attach the ropes of the Rings on it. It is safe and nothing moved so far. However its insanely harder even without weights to Do some good dips there. I Can barely Do 5 dips in a Row before I Start flaring outwards and struggle to move my Arms back to my torse. For pullups, I Can Set the Rings high enough to Not Touch my feet while hanging (Otherwise I would Do some cheat Rests between reps) Should I move back to my swing for dips or should I progress more with the even more unstable setup on dips?

| Best replacement for bench press Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:14 AM PDT Hi all, long story short gyms are closed again in my region. I used to do body weight training during the summer and I think I got a pretty solid routine and I was satisfied with my workout. The only thing was that I found it hard to find a good replacement for bench press. I'm not a huge guy (5 foot 6 130 lb) but my bench press is pretty good (around 255 lb) and I would like to keep improving it. So what are the best bench press replacement exercises you know of? I have access to resistance bands, rings and a pull-up bar. [link] [comments] |
| Is it healthy for a 14 year old to wake up at 5:15am ? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:38 PM PDT I am 14 and I wanted to know if waking up at 5:15 am Is healthy for me and I sleep at 9:45am too is it ok ? I have been doing it for 3 months or so and I sometimes struggle to wake up and sometimes wake up easily My question is , is it healthy to do that especially being a 14 year old , does it make a diffrence ?

| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:00 PM PDT Hi all, first submission here. I achieved my first chinup about half a month ago - I am still ecstatic about it. But I noticed that I still can't do a pull up. I sent a video of my chin up to my friends, like this to which one of them said I'm not engaging my upper back enough. Do you see that in the video and is that why I can't do a pull up yet?

| Help me with chosing weights for Weighted calisthenics Posted: 11 Oct 2020 11:27 AM PDT Hi everyone, So over the past months I have progressed with weighted calisthenics up to a point where it gets annoying to gather the necessary weight in a backpack. So I want to invest in some proper weights and a dip belt to make this more viable as I continue adding weight. My heaviest lift are weighted ring pushups where I add about 30kg and for rows and pullups I typically use between 15 and 25 kg. I have quite a few smaller weight plates in the 1 to 2.5kg range so I mostly want to buy bigger weights. My first question is whether or not it makes sense to buy the bigger oly sized plates with 50mm holes or if 30mm holes are fine for bodyweight fitness? I sadly can't deadlift or squat in my apartment due to noise considerations and lack of proper floor padding so I guess 30mm is fine, considering they are a lot cheaper than proper bumper plates? My biggest concern is the actual selection of individual weight plates. I have never used a dip belt before so I was wondering if should be concerned with the thickness of individual plates. So does it make a difference whether I use 4 x 10kg plates with a width of 4.5cm compared to 2 x 20kg with a width of 5cm. Plates are available in 10, 15, 20 and 25 kg and I am really not sure what is the ideal selection here. If I get paired weights, so something like 2 x 10 and 2 x 20 I could also use them for strict press and curls but for calisthenics it seems like it might make more sense to get one of each. Does someone here have any experience with this type of stuff and want to share some knowledge? [link] [comments] |
| How do I know if I am actually gaining muscle? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 10:06 AM PDT I find it hard to keep track of my growth for many reasons. For one as I watch them everyday I keep getting used to them. So it's almost impossible for me to tell if I am growing or not. and I can't really tell from photos either. What methods do you use to tell if you are growing or not? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:16 AM PDT Finally reached 10 pullups. What should I do next? Currently, I'm training for pullups 2 times a week, and 3 days handstand routine. My pullups routine is (since a week tho): 4 sets of 7 reps pullups, with 90sec-120sec rest after each set. What else should I do to increase the reps? Or what changes should I do in the current one? I also have a 10kg kettlebell, but I think now is too soon for 10kgs (is it tho?) My goal as of now is explosive pullups. Any thing you would recommendation? [link] [comments] |
| What is your opinion on full body workouts? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:02 AM PDT I have almost one year at the gym and lost 10kgs but the muscle mass got lower which is normal but still dont improved weights, i m lifting the same. I have a nustritionist so I eat healthy and go 5 times per week and never failled a day so I must conclude that I have difficulty in putting higher weights so I think this trainning will be good to me. For example, i was doing one day dedicated to chest but I only do 10 kgs x 10 repetition x 3 sets with a lot of difficulty and the second exercise of chest I dont have strenght . This workout type of routine sound better to dont overexagerate the muscle. What is your opinion? [link] [comments] |
| Serratus anterior out of place ? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 08:35 AM PDT Hello ! I have scapular winging on my left side and also the left shoulder is internally rotated and droops down and forward compared to the right shoulder. On the left side, my serratus anterior, the lowest one feels like it sticks out. Is this normal ? https://drive.google.com/file/d/12fe5H8jgxZ1g5Q5go0hHPqhDWBsBo6gK/view?usp=drivesdk [link] [comments] |
| This may seem counterintuitive, but how do I lose muscle mass while not gaining fat? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 10:40 AM PDT I used to go to the gym everyday and got relatively buff, but now I'd rather go back to being skinny and I just can't seem to lose my muscle mass. [link] [comments] |
