| How do you keep yourself motivated in these times? Posted: 31 Oct 2020 02:55 AM PDT I've installed a calisthenics workout spot in my garden this summer, and as much as I try to keep myself going, I just can't get to it. I'm living in Belgium and the corona numbers have been skyrocketing here so hard that even close family members are testing positive. The anxiety I get from it along with the lockdown really makes me unmotivated to continue working out. Yet it sounds silly that this prohibits me from training, so I wanna ask if you guys know something to keep you motivated and put emotions aside from it. I wanna get back into it! Thanks in advance and my apologies if this post isn't for this reddit. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 08:29 AM PDT The first few months of doing the recommended routine, I did everything in a row because I wanted to get cardio in. But now that I'm taking the prescribed rests in between. I am doing more reps and actually seeing improvement. I guess it takes some of us more time than others, because ...I know better. Ha ha apparently not this time. I really appreciate whoever put this together thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 07:40 AM PDT New lockdown again for at least 1 month , so I need bodyweight training regimen . Im not a beginner , been training for around 3 years in gym , experimented with bodyweight exercises during first lockdown for 3 months . Help is appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 05:30 AM PDT Hello, I'm a 15 yo teenager, I started the RR 1 month ago and I have made a bit of progress. The only thing that bother me is that I'm not doing any type of cardio because I have no time for that. I'm doing the RR 3 times a week but I can't do cardio because of how Highschool is time consuming and since winter is coming I won't be able to run in the cold and the night. How bad is it for my health ? Is there a solution to that ? (sry for poor english) [link] [comments] |
| When are you no longer a beginner Posted: 31 Oct 2020 11:38 AM PDT I'm wondering at what point are no longer considered a 'beginner' in calisthenics. For example my definition of no longer being a beginner would be if you can complete 20 clean and controlled push ups, 10 dips, 10 pull ups, 20 aus pull ups, 5 pistol squats and L sit for 30 seconds. Is this accurate? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 08:30 AM PDT Hi bodyweightfitness! First off just want to say this sub is filled with amazing people that's constantly been a source of motivation, inspiration and knowledge throughout my fitness journey, so thank you all for that! I started the recommended routine when lockdown hit, couple of months ago and have made decent progressions with a 3day per week workout. Now, I want to progress more (strength and gains) and I'm willing to put in the time and effort, I just dont really know where to go next. Here's hows my current workout from the RR looks like: 2 days a week of full body
The third workout day will be leg day, where I go the gym. Back to the topic, I want to take my workout a step further, training more times a week or even spending more time per session. I looked around reddit and YouTube and saw split push/pull/legs 6 days a week, fullbody/skill alternating or even hypertrophy/strength alternate workouts. Im overwhelmed by all the information and unsure of what's the best option. Does anyone have any advice, tips or even workouts plans that you wld suggest? Any help is greatly appreciated thank you all so much :) [link] [comments] |
| How are my pullups? (set of 10) Posted: 31 Oct 2020 10:42 AM PDT |
| Left shoulder popping while doing L-sit pullups. Posted: 31 Oct 2020 09:47 AM PDT It occurs when unlocking the scapula, and when coming back down in dead hang even with a really slow eccentric. I think i've got enough pull strenght to do them since i can do sets of 10 pullups with 30+ kg on the dip belt. It's a slight discomfort, it's not painful but it really deconcentrate me as it seems it could pop out at any moment [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 09:35 AM PDT Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has implemented a high frequency (>5 times a week) full body routine. I've been seeing this idea a lot from youtubers (Jeff nippard and Joe delaney for example) but their workouts are more powerlifting/gym based for the most part. I'd appreciate your opinions.

| Progress Update (3 years in the making) Posted: 31 Oct 2020 12:16 PM PDT Original weight: 235 Current weight: 149 Hello everyone, posting this for future reference, motivation, and to share my journey and possibly inspire or motivate others (not that I am anywhere close to ideal physique). I have been fairly lean most of my life weighing around 150-155ish, but let my weight get up as high as 235 at one point close to 3 years ago. My 3 year progress was mainly in approximately 3 sprints of me actually trying with each phase having about a year to 'maintain'. Part of why it has taken me 3 years was not really trying or stopping after a certain point. My main problem was excess eating and not caring what I was intaking into my body. Sprint #1 (235 - 190): I first began losing weight in my first sprint by eating only nutritional packet drinks for lunch and breakfast (wasn't doing protein powder or anything at this point). For dinner, I would eat whatever my wife cooked and I didn't care what it was or how much I ate at this meal, as it was my only real meal for the day). I was able to go from 235 to approximately 190, which admittedly was a huge difference, both mentally and physically. The process took about 1-3 months (can't remember how long to be honest but it was no more than 3 months). Noticeable stretch marks (dark and very fresh looking) Sprint #2 (190-175): This sprint was similar to the first sprint, although I began taking protein powder post-workout and I also began eating smaller meals more frequently through-out the day (5-6 meals) and approximately 1500 calories. This sprint began a year after the first (approximately) and took a few months due to unhealthy work-life balance and other personal reasons. Stretch marks still visible, no sagging of skin that I notice at least, but I had a depressing amount of belly fat that stuck out, forcing me to wear large clothing to somewhat hide it, although it was present. Pant size probably 34 and tight post sprint 2 weighing in at 175. Sprint #3 (175-149/current) This has been my third sprint and has taken place a year after the second sprint, 3 years into the making. I still don't have definition in my abs and my obliques are non-existent, however clothing fits perfect with the exception of still being short and having a hard time finding proper inseam on pants. Getting lower on the body fat, although I haven't actually measured to know what I am sitting at currently (feel free to guess). I haven't done any physical exercise until my second sprint (little amount of weight training, although I was not consistent). I have began my body-weight fitness journey in my third and current sprint, which consists of a pull up bar, dip bar, jump rope, and that's it! I am working on getting rings, but I am working with a doorway pull up bar that is secured into studs and is high enough for me that I have to jump up to reach it. I practice all grips on pull ups and have been working on leg raises and knee raises and can do a few L-sits (in the beginning, I felt like I was going to rip my shoulder out of socket). I can do around 8-12 pull ups with good form depending on the day and how I am feeling. I can do around 15 bodyweight dips. I also work on push-ups and can currently do around 25 without rest. I still don't eat very good and feel like I am undereating at the moment, which I am currently working on - I drive all day and typically just drink water all day long and protein shake for lunch and a good meal when I get home. I am getting to the point where I need to focus in more on my nutrition and be more consistent on workouts and find a good plan that I can stick to. These are all things that I understand and realize moving forward. So far, I am happy with the progress and the way things are going and wanted to share my journey with you guys TLDR: just check out the photos (photos in backwards order for some reason, so the current photos will be displayed first).

| Posted: 31 Oct 2020 11:22 AM PDT So basically I workout my abs 5 days a week and KILL them fr but I don't see any results.. is it because I don't do diet or if I did what diet should I be having? Honestly I'm kinda demotivated by training that hard and seeing nothing but a hard layer under my fat layer (I'm skinny tho) it's just most of the fat of my body chilling there fam how do I get them out [link] [comments] |
| Help with back and front lever (thank you in advance) Posted: 31 Oct 2020 10:39 AM PDT I am currently trying to achieve back lever and then front lever and can do both with tucked legs. But issue comes with elbow pain while doing back lever warmup (which is I believe skin the cat) and I also feel like I am not progressing. I want to learn these skills but most importantly prevent injuries as I am a student and I have to attempt exams. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Backlever Assistance Exercises Posted: 30 Oct 2020 11:53 PM PDT hey all, I'm currently training for the backlever, and I'd like to make a short list of assistance exercises in order of effectiveness (how much of a carryover these exercises have to the backlever)
would this be in correct order? thanks for the advice [link] [comments] |
| How do you guys maintain flexibility during a workout session? Posted: 30 Oct 2020 09:14 PM PDT So recently I've been focusing more on stretching my shoulders and lats to train my handstands. after my stretching sessions, my overhead flexibility is close to 170-175 degree with my ribs tucked in with PPT. But as my training sessions progress, bench press and pullups, my overhead flexibility starts to suffer getting close to a 150-160 degree angle. My handstands suffer because my body was tuned into the initial angle. For someone with good flexibility, how do you maintain it during a workout? Do you keep stretching before each rep, or is there something else I can do? appreciate any input [link] [comments] |
| Bulgarian Split Squats and lower back soreness - possibly from the rear foot being raised too high? Posted: 31 Oct 2020 08:22 AM PDT Hi all, I took up bulgarian split squats during lockdown, during this time I did them 2-3x/week for a few months with no issues. I elevated my rear foot using my couch at home. Recently I returned to the gym and I'm doing them there using the bench at the gym to elevate my rear foot. The bench feels noticeably higher off the ground than my couch was, but I thought it shouldn't make a difference. However I've started to get lower back soreness after doing these at the gym, even if I don't use any dumbbells as extra weight. After watching myself in the mirror I feel like my rear foot is too high and this leads my back to arch as I try to keep my torso upright at the bottom of the movement. Does this sound right, and is it bad form to place your rear foot too high? Or does it just indicate a mobility/flexibility issue? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Shoulder tightness when doing ring muscle up Posted: 30 Oct 2020 08:17 PM PDT Recently i was training for the ring muscle up and whenever i reach the transition part of the ring muscle up, i would feel that the back part of my shoulders feel tight and would last for a few days after my training. This has never happen to be when i perfrom the bar miscle up. Not sure if its a form issue which may lead to this tightness? Ive been doing stretches on the shoulders and also performing deadhang and active hang and my shoulders feel abit better but theres still this tightness at the back of my shoulder which make me feel uncomfortable. I tried doing a handstand and it doesnt seems to be affected by then tightness. So im assuming it could be a strain on my rotator cuff or the rear delt? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2020 06:07 PM PDT Hello everybody, I have seen countless calisthenics videos on YouTube about this and other thing but I have one question. I'm training to get the handstand and want to see if this is fine. After warming up is it fine if I just go outside and practice kicking up. After trying it I feel like this is the best way for me. Just to kick up and try to hold it over and over. I'm just sort of confused on how to rest if I do that over and over. To back my theory: I see tons of 10-13 year olds that can do a handstand and they do not have that much strength or muscle. Just regular kids. On YouTube everyone is giving 49 different exercises to achieve the handstand yet I see kids get it in a couple weeks just by kicking up. Anyone that can back this? And then to rephrase how should I rest if I just kick up over and over. [link] [comments] |
