| Made Notion Gallery Page for the Recommended Routine Posted: 21 Oct 2020 06:30 AM PDT I'm a very visual person, and absolutely need to have it all displayed in front of me and I think it could be useful for someone else. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 04:23 AM PDT Hi, after a long break I started working out 2 months ago. I started working out at a park, but because of covid I've been working out at my house. When the parks finally open again, I've thought of getting a pair of rings. However, I've heard exercises with rings are way harder, so I'm not sure if I'm strong enough. To give you an idea, I can do about 25 push ups, 6 pull ups and 12 dips. Should I wait until I got stronger? Edit: Ty for all the comments, i don't have enough space at home so when parks open up again i'll definitely buy a pair :] [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 03:18 AM PDT I've got a fitness test coming up (national service annual fitness test) that consists of pushups, sit-ups, and a short run. I'm fairly fit so I can pass it pretty easily but one thing I've noticed in years past is I always go into it with an unnecessary amount of anxiety and I start each component feeling slightly stiff and not quite at my peak. I've tried a bunch of things via trial and error with varying amounts of success. Naturally the big things like tapering off a few days before, stretching and warmups, and carb-loading do come in handy. But I'm curious as to what other things you guys do other than that to prepare yourself both mentally and physically before you do a race/competition/meet/test/whatever. [link] [comments] |
| How much is enough for a workout Posted: 21 Oct 2020 12:25 PM PDT Hi all, so I've been training calisthenics for a few months now, and after seeing so many recommended workouts and styles, I really don't know what to follow anymore for results. My goal is for hypertrophy and strength, basically to fill out my shirts as I am a skinny guy. Should I be focusing on hardcore style workouts and working out until my body can't do the exercise anymore with rest here and there, or should I be doing 4 sets with X amount of reps for a set muscle group. Any help/recommendations are appreciated, and the recommendations aren't just between the two options I mentioned in the post. Whatever feedback is appreciated, as I am just trying to put together a routine I know will be effective for me. I know some will probably recommend the RR, but I'm not quite a huge fan of it, but thank you all for any feedback [link] [comments] |
| More calories and more protein or less calories and less protein??? Posted: 21 Oct 2020 10:46 AM PDT Hi. Ive been cutting recently and often found myself either overeating to hit daily calories or eating just the right amount of calories but leaving the protein short. If i fuck up a day of eating, which option should i go for if i want to cut? Cut nonetheless and lose a bit more muscle? or stunt the fat cut, but retain the muscle? [link] [comments] |
| Advanced tuck front lever pull ups Posted: 21 Oct 2020 12:15 PM PDT Hi I am a male of 17 years old, I have a solid advanced tuck 20 sec, I started doing front lever pull ups but I am only able to do half of the range of motion(I can't touch the bar with the belly) can you please give me some advice or techniques to prove. Thank you all [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 04:18 AM PDT Does anyone know of any women influencers that are mostly body weight? Youtube, Instagram, etc. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 10:49 AM PDT Hi guys! At the moment I'm very busy with school, and I haven't so much time to workout, so I was wondering if you have any kind of short routine to suggest me or some other tricks to try to save time. (I'm kind of a beginner-intermediate) p.s. sorry for my english :D [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Oct 2020 07:19 PM PDT I'm curious about how using the Boring But Big weightlifting routine could be carried over to rings. For example, instead of bench pressing at weight X for 5x3 reps, you'd replace it with the appropriate ring pushup/planche variation that limits your strength to the same 5x3 rep scheme, then continue with the other accessory exercises that are prescribed in the BBB program. Obviously you'd still have to use squat and deadlift since those are tricker to replace with bodyweight exercises unless you decide to do single leg work, but I'm more interested in replacing bench and standing shoulder press with ringwork. Has anyone experimented with this idea? How different would the results be in comparison to the original BBB program? [link] [comments] |
| Pistol squat technique - maintaining tension? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 11:37 PM PDT Hi everyone. Got a question about pistol squat technique. Are you supposed to maintain tension at the bottom of the squat (i.e. be pushing consistently). I've noticed I find myself pretty much relaxed at the bottom of the PS. I'm wondering if I'm cheating the move a bit by getting down too quick into a position I can balance in, and relax. [link] [comments] |
| I can't flex my left bicep - Help please! Posted: 21 Oct 2020 08:29 AM PDT I can flex both of my calves and right bicep. But I can't flex my left bicep. I haven't been able since a young age. I feel retarded not being able to control my own muscle. I can control it partially and briefly if I try many times in different ways but this is not consistent and I have to train myself to do it (mind-muscle?). I want to fix this because it's affecting my fitness:
Potential reasons:
I want to fix it so it feels natural, like it's under my control. I hate that I can't control it! I know the muscle is there but I can't control it. Should I buy some weights and add that to my calisthenics training? Any advice? I want to get this motherfucker under control. [link] [comments] |
| Weighted Chin-Up and One Arm Chin-Up Strength Correlation. Posted: 20 Oct 2020 11:20 PM PDT STATS: I have been rock climbing all my life, so naturally I've always been able to pull my bodyweight. I'm on the lower end of average BMI, being 6'2" 150lbs. BACKGROUND The one arm pull has been taunting me my whole life. At ages 13-16 there were several moments where I was almost able to do it, but lost significant progress due to natural growth and weight gain from puberty. Now, at age 17, I'm trying to put this tremendously difficult exercise behind me through weighted chin ups. I can currently do 5 reps with 70lbs worth of plates (around half my bodyweight) strapped to my waist with near perfect form (slow tempo, no back lurching, full ROM, etc.). In my experience bands have been a terrible way to train this movement as they provide considerably less assistance during the top ROM, which happens to be the hardest part of the OAP. This is why I chose to use plates. QUESTIONS I have a few questions for this sub: How well does this type of training correlate to the one arm pull? What percentage of my bodyweight should I be able to pull to have the strength neccassary for the OAP? Is it 100 percent, meaning I need to pull 150lbs worth of plates to achieve the OAP, or is it not so black and white. At what point should I switch to single arm training? (If not already). Really curious to see this sub's input on this topic! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Oct 2020 06:10 PM PDT Hello, I would like to ask for tips/tricks or even your experience in recovery after a back workout. I usually do front lever work and muscle ups and my back gets really sore the next day. I know some common tips like drink more water, sleep more, massage, protein, stretching etc for recovery. Are there more techniques beyond the ones I mentioned? I just want to train more but the soreness really gets in my way D: [link] [comments] |
| Other father's of young children, how do you make time? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 01:18 PM PDT So I've been doing the recommended routine for around 5 months now, I think. Three times a week or at least I try to do it three times a week. It takes me anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours each time but I find myself running low on time and unable to get my workouts in. I have a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old that obviously demand a lot of my time, in addition to a wife that obviously needs time also. How do other fathers do it? Sometimes I'm able to get a set in without any interruption but generally my 90 second to 120 second rest can double or triple depending on if the children are entertained or not. 2 hours is way too much on my schedule and an hour and a half is pushing it considering I work a swing shift and can't work out after work without waking up the family. Any suggestions and or ideas on either how to shorten my workouts or to split my full body workouts into smaller isolation sessions more times a week would be great. [link] [comments] |
