| Can explosive movements increase strength? Posted: 21 Oct 2020 09:15 PM PDT For example, if I did weighted muscle ups would my working weight for weighted pullups increase? Like if my weighted muscle up 1RM is 25 lbs and my weighted pullup 1RM is 90 lbs and then I increase my weighted muscle up 1RM to 45 lbs, would my weighted pullup 1RM increase to 110 lbs or something? Also would I hit a wall with weighted muscle ups if I didn't continue to do weighted pullups because strength is the base for power? I can think of examples where explosive movements would definitely not lead to strength gains. For example, box jumps would probably have very little effect on your squat 1RM unless your squat 1RM was low to start with. But weighted muscle ups involve more mass and less velocity than box jumps so the effect may be different. [link] [comments] |
| Any experiences on utilizing Weighted Calisthenics on creating strength to perform advanced skills? Posted: 22 Oct 2020 03:25 AM PDT I just did weighted calisthenics for the first time in 7 months after ignoring it and I noticed I had became stronger and the pump was better. Although, when I was watching 1-2 year journeys of certain bodyweight skills on YouTube, I noticed they mainly focused on strictly utilizing their bodyweight on doing their exercises without using weights. I was wondering if doing weighted calisthenics in majority create a shorter time span of progressing in skills like the front lever, planche and handstand. Any experiences or even suggestions about having a large improvement on skills doing weighted calisthenics? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Oct 2020 12:20 AM PDT I have a genetic condition that presents with androgen excess. I'm a cisgender woman with facial hair, most of my fat centered in my belly, and very little breast tissue so my breasts are entirely fat. So while trying to tone up, I have a conundrum on my hands: If I build muscle without losing fat, I risk bulking up. If I build muscle while losing fat, I lose my breasts. Any advice for how I can tone up my stomach and arms without bulking up or losing my breasts? I have enough belly fat where people ask me when I'm due, but I really don't want to be an A cup again. EDIT: If it helps, I have nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, aka 21-hydroxylase deficiency. I'm on birth control to help with some symptoms but haven't needed steroids in years.

| Posted: 22 Oct 2020 10:28 AM PDT I've gifted my old set of rings to my mate and I'm in the market for new rings, straps and buckles. As far as rings and straps go, I'm good, there's plenty to choose from. I am however searching for good buckles. While it never happened to me I've seen plenty of posts/pictures with broken buckles. Usually they look like these: http://www.pellor.com/images/CH-SPRG01_04.jpg What are your recommendations? Can be a set with rings or can be sold separately. I'm USA based. [link] [comments] |
| One Arm Chin Up - Breaking the dead hang Posted: 22 Oct 2020 12:21 AM PDT I've been training OAC for a couple months. The good news: I've got most of the strength to do it. The bad news: I can't initiate the movement from dead hang... at all. I depress and contract my scapula, and try to explosively pull. I can get my arm to bend but not enough strength to pull up from that point. What are your best exercises for breaking the dead hang? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| 5 Month Calisthenics Progress - Ending with Assisted Iron Cross (23M, 5'10, 134LBs) Posted: 22 Oct 2020 09:28 AM PDT Howdy, Let's start with a bit of background, I come from a family extremely focused on academics so working out was never emphasized and so I didn't =). Despite this, I never put on a lot of weight as one of the rules in my house was, if I ate anything outside , I won't be getting dinner at home. Anyway, around November of 2019 I started distance running , would put on 40-50 miles a week and that further reduced my weight ( in college so diet wasn't good either) . I weighed around 145LBs before and after this phase I was around 135LBs Now to the fun part, June 2nd 2020 my classmate introduces me to calisthenics, nothing fancy, it's the regular street workout equipment near our college ground. Day - 1 stats 3 Pull-ups (couldn't do them without my feet touching the ground after every rep) 0 Dips 5 Push-ups Pretty pathetic right, especially for a male in his prime. Yeah, that's what I thought too, but I was happy that I had at least made an effort to change. Didn't do the RR instead focused on a push-pull routine(pullups and dips). I just pushed myself really hard to do 50 pull-ups and 50 dips everyday no matter what, if I failed in a set then I just did them with bands. Day - 60 stats 5x8 pullups 3x4 typewriter chinups (Typewriter Chinups) 5x10 dips My nutrition by this time was also on point. Did meal preps , ate around 2500- 3000 calories . By August I was dead serious about calisthenics and started researching more. I came across Antranik's ring routines and was pretty hooked on rings . Starting 3rd week of August, I incorporated rings into my routine. I pretty much did the same push-pull routine but now on rings. Rings for some reason felt very comfortable to me. I took two days to learn a 30 second support hold and by day 4 of starting rings I could do a 60 second support hold with full turnout. Day - 120 stats 5x8 pullups 4x4 typewriter chinups 3x5 15 LB weighted ring dips 5x10 bodyweight ring dips Yesterday,on October 21st 2020, I started Iron cross training and man was I surprised, I could hold a 15 second assisted Iron cross without ever having trained for it I am pushing hard to get the full iron cross by the end of this year. I know that sounds unreasonable but that's exactly how I felt about any of the above things when I started out 5 months ago. I'm putting this out here for two reasons
Hope this helps [link] [comments] |
| How to add weight to dips and squats? Posted: 22 Oct 2020 11:27 AM PDT I think I've gotten to the point where I should be adding weight to my dips, but I don't really have any weights at home and I don't really wanna purchase any. I also can do pistols no problem and want to increase my leg strength. What's the next step without a squat rack? [link] [comments] |
| Handstand Progression Questions Posted: 22 Oct 2020 10:43 AM PDT Hi folks. So i recently got up to 3x 1minute wall planks for my skill work portion (handstands) of my workout. I saw on a couple of the skill day recommend routines of having 5 sets instead of 3. I was wondering why that was considering my L-sits is also 3 sets? My second question is should i work towards getting another 2 sets added equally to that amount of time or start progressing to the wall handstand? Please and thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Oct 2020 06:36 AM PDT For those looking for a large font, simple timer for the RR, this is a good one I found. Start stopwatch by tapping Start new lap (rest period) by swiping down End lap by double tap. Stop stopwatch with tap Works in landscape mode as well I often find I lose track of time in my rest period and this real helps keep me on track! If you like it, think about paying for the premium version to help the dev out. (Not me) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/timy-timer-stopwatch-laps/id928958368 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 05:55 PM PDT It seems to me a common ladder could have a lot of applications for body weight fitness and I thought it could be fun to brainstorm some ideas for how this could be done. One way I thought of is anchoring it to a wall to use as a makeshift Swedish ladder. Another thing could be putting it up at an sharp angle and climbing it from below as a poor mans climbing wall. Can the community here come up with any other fun ideas? [link] [comments] |
| Cons of not following a routine? Posted: 22 Oct 2020 04:14 AM PDT For example if I workout I'd just do exercises with what I feel like I want for example. Monday I'd do Upper day and Next I'd do Legs or lower and repeat it for 4x a week. [link] [comments] |
