| Super slow movements during exercices. Is it effective? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:55 AM PDT I've been working out for 6 months using my bodyweight, but now I'm trying to improve and really gain muscle... so, is it better to do the movements very slowly focusing on the form? [link] [comments] |
| Is this routine better than the RR for building muscle? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 10:59 AM PDT Came across this routine from another sub and it seems well written. But I am not sure if I should go for it or stick to the RR if my primary goal is to build muscle? Can someone please tell me which one to go for? [link] [comments] |
| Can a move ever be so clean that it stops being impressive? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 02:54 AM PDT I've noticed that some gymnasts and callisthenics practitioners are so clean and fluid with their movements that it actually effaces muscular action to the viewer. They make it look easy, so the viewer actually assumes it is easy, and it therefore stops being impressive. For example the guy in this video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CGszy4XJXGi/?igshid=n9lgv8zgbhqk[clean muscle up] I can imagine a normie watching this and thinking he isn't really doing anything at all, just gliding through the air. I love callisthenics and this isn't a reason to stop at all, but it's just a random observation I had. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone here do weightlifting as well as calisthenics? Would there be a big carry-over? Posted: 23 Oct 2020 07:48 PM PDT Since weightlifting is done in different weight categories, it would seem that relative strength is a key thing, a bit like calisthenics. Would there be much carry over between weightlifting and calisthenics? Especially since a move like the clean and jerk requires great relative strength and conditioning in a compound movement- just like calisthenics? The reason I ask is I've been messing around with some weightlifting moves, and they seem like fun and feel like a good workout.... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 11:33 AM PDT The amount of food I eat in a day varies quite a lot. I am currently steadily gaining at a pace of 1.2 kg per month or so. Now as the title suggests, some days I eat only at a very slight surplus, while at others I eat way above the recommended daily calorie surplus. Is this bad for muscle progress? Will a large chunk of the calories get turned into fat this way? Will muscles be unable to recover on days where I am at a very small surplus? Or does this daily calorie variation not have effect on muscle growth / fat storage? [link] [comments] |
| How has your routine evolved from when you started to now? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 12:44 AM PDT This question is focused towards people who were not so much active previously like playing any sports or so and wasted there prime 20s leading sedentary lifestyle. When you decided to start working out what was your capability like and how is it now? Assuming that you were weak enough at the start of your journey and you couldn't follow a lengthy demanding routine what was your actual routine like then and how has it changed over time? TLDR; Describe your routine abd capability at the start of your journey vs now. [link] [comments] |
| Grip strength and wrist flexibility for Pull strength Posted: 23 Oct 2020 08:44 PM PDT Hi, i have been training calisthenics for awhile. Able to do about 2s full front lever hold, about 15 pull ups. Perfect form. But yet i struggle to do one arm dead hang for ~10s. I struggle to false grip and do a slow muscle up. I am not able to false grip on anything as it just feels very intensive on my forearms and my wrist just couldnt get itself hooked over any bars or rings efficiently. It will roll/slip off. I struggle to rope climb also as i feel like my grip are very weak and i am not able to generate enough strength through my hands to hold my body up. If i try to do a negative muscle up, i struggle at the transition from the bottom position of straight bar dips to dead hang. Instead of a slow and controlled transition, i'd just fall to my arms being nearly straight. When i do pull ups / front lever training, my grip tends to open up and when i look at videos of other peole doing pullup/fl, they are either on a very steady false grip or looks like their hands are gripping tighly on whichever bars their holding on to. Any one encounter such issues? How should i improve from here? One of my friend told me that its just my back muscles being weak and i should work on that. But i feel like its my grip that is causing lost power in my moves. What can i do to work on my grip strength? Thank you very much for the advices, if any. :) [link] [comments] |
| Seeing minimal front lever progress Posted: 24 Oct 2020 12:38 AM PDT I've been doing calisthenics for around six months now. I've got a strong back lever and muscle up reps with some kip. My handstand is good as well. But I've been training front lever for about two months and I'm seeing little to no progress. Sure, I shouldn't expect to have a full FL by now but I can't hold a straddle even after doing negatives and advanced tuck pull ups every other day. Any tips on speeding up my front lever progress?

| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 02:01 AM PDT I've recently transitioned from weighted inverted rows to tucked front lever rows on rings. While the latter is manageable, I've noticed that the ROM of how far back the elbow goes seems to be decreased compared to standard inverted rows. The arm seems to go from straight to a 90° bend at the elbow, but no further. Regardless if done on rings or bar. Meanwhile standard bodyweight rows have the elbows going well behind the body to 80-70°. This is true on every video of tucked FL rows I've seen Theory: since the tucked FL row is a hollow body movement, the shoulders can't retract back as far as with a standard bw row. Alternatively they retract the same, but just appear less retracted due to the hollow body. Does this theory make sense? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Oct 2020 01:56 PM PDT Thoughts on locking out the elbows and knees during the end of a rep vs a soft lock out? I know how important the lock out is for getting elbows ready for planche and such of we have those goals, but for hypertrophy reasons of prime movers, would the soft lock out be better? I personally feel like I lose tension in my muscles working when I do the full hard lockout [link] [comments] |
