| (Pre&Post Covid) In Person Gyms/Communities for Bodyweight Training? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 09:16 AM PDT Hey r/bodyweightfitness, It's been quite the journey for me leading up to getting involved in the bodyweight fitness world and this subreddit has been an invaluable resource after getting introduced to the training methods by Tom Merrick on youtube. I always knew I didn't want to stay in the bodybuilding mindset long term and this seemed more sustainable and rewarding. I feel more "In my body" than I ever have due to training the body more evenly with compound movements and emphasis on stretching. getting involved with this style of training even helped me in some ways on my road to recovery from an eating disorder. So first and foremost, thank you. I love having access to communities of likeminded people online but it's never the same to me as actually meeting with people in person, building relationships, motivating one another, and (arguably most import) getting live and instant feedback on your form. I struggle to stay completely in my body while exercising sometimes and doing with other can sometimes give me the needed push to get myself out of my own head and feel the muscle contractions and stretches. Does r/bodyweightfitness know of any gyms or a database for searching for local communities of bodyweight trainees and trainers? I know there's some overlap with gymnastics but I'm not exactly sure if that'd be the way to go. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2020 01:04 AM PDT I am looking to start bodyweight and I am concerned if I should start with bands. Also, I do not have a pull up bar, so I dont know if its better to replace that pull up bar with either bands or without them. Help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Hypertrophy/Aesthetic Routines? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:59 AM PDT So I've been doing the RR for about 3 1/2 months, and while I've seen significant strength gains (see below) I want to focus more on aesthetic as of now. I have gotten "firmer" with the RR, but I haven't really gotten "bigger." Has anyone switched to a ppl or hypertrophy based routine after the rr, and have you seen bigger muscle gains? Progress: 129lbs-145lbs (Male, 17, 5'7) Pullups: 3 x 5 regular pullups - 3 x 8 regular pullups with 2.5lb weighted Squats: 3 x 5 regular squats- 3 x 8 beginner shrimp squats Dips: 30 second parallel bar support hold - 3 x 8 parallel bar dips with 2.5 weighted (typically only go to 7 on the last set though) Rows: Vertical Rows 3 x 5 - Horizontal rows 3 x 8 Pushups: 3 x 5 regular pushups - 3 x 8 pseudo planche pushup (hands aren't at waist yet, right above my belly button) EDIT: Forgot to include height [link] [comments] |
| How to implement heavy bag into bodyweight training. Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:41 AM PDT Advice on how to implement heavy bag/boxing with bodyweight training. Like should I use the heavy bag on rest days or rr/rest/heavy bag/rest/rr?? [link] [comments] |
| Video Recording/Follow Along Recommended Routine Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:16 AM PDT Hello This might be a dumb question but following The Recommended Routine, while isn't necessarily hard, requires piecing together a lot of different one off videos. I was wondering if anyone has a video of them going through the workout from start to finish that a newbie might be able to follow along with. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:58 PM PDT I've been following the RR for 6 months (started bulking 3 months in) and these are my stats: M/6'0/23/165lb ——> 172lb Scapular Pulls —> Neutral Chinup (3x3) Bodyweight Squat —-> Intermediate Shrimp Squat (3x8) Parallel Bar Support Hold —-> Parallel Bar Dips (3x6) with 5lb Single Legged Deadlift —-> Eccentric Single Leg Sliding Hamstring Slide 3x8) Horizontal Rows —-> Wide Rows (3x8) Regular Pushup —-> Weighted Pushup (3x7) with 5lb My diet is in check and I am getting good sleep. I'm also doing neutral chinups rather than pullups due to a persistent wrist pain, and going neutral helps to greatly minimize the pain. My main goal is aesthetic, which is why I have been thinking of switching to a hypertrophy routine. I have recently started feeling a little more exhausted than usual after workouts despite eating and sleeping well like I mentioned, which makes me feel like I might be reaching a plateau. This, coupled with my desire to focus more on building muscle rather than training for strength, has led me to think about switching from the RR. If I were to switch, I would want to continue with a 3x a week fullbody routine. One that comes to mind is the one found here : https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/training_guide#wiki_developing_an_intermediate_routine "Two day full body: two different workouts, each containing 1 push, 1 pull, 1 matching pull, 1 leg exercise and 1 core exercise." If I were to follow this ABA/BAB format, my program would look something like this: DAY 1- Neutral Chinups Weighted Parallel Bar Dips (3-4x8-12) Intermediate Shrimp Squat (3x8-12) Ab Wheel Rollout (3x12-15) DAY 2- Weighted Pushup (3-4x8-12) Weighted Wide Rows (3-4x8-12) Eccentric Single Leg Hamstring Slide (3x8-12) Reverse Hyperextension (3x8-12) My only worry is that the volume is less here than with the RR, which makes sense for an intermediate routine (but I'm not sure I need to decrease volume yet). However, 3x a week for every exercise in the RR is tiring me out like I mentioned. I need help with this dilemma as I do not want to switch from the RR if it's too early, but I also do not want to continue with it if I have progressed enough to focus more on hypertrophy. To summarize: 1. Have I progressed far enough to focus on weighted calisthenics for hypertrophy? 2. If this ABA/BAB routine I found isn't right for me, what would be? Could I continue with the RR but switch to a hypertrophy rep range? [link] [comments] |
| Form when using resistance bands? Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:55 PM PDT Recently got some resistance bands and before that I was into bodyweight workouts, although I hadn't done them in a while. Either way I want to get back into exercise with these new resistance bands as they're consistent and I can hit more parts of my body, I don't have a pull up bar at the moment so they'll really help with back exercises as well. I don't know how difficult it is to have good form when it comes to bodyweight exercises but I always tried to keep a good eye on it when I did it. As for weightlifting I know it's quite crucial but not a lot of people know how and not a lot of fitness instructors actually know either. I imagine form is still somewhat crucial to resistance band training as well but most of the gyms around my area are mainly commercial gyms. Not to say that they might not have some good instructors there that can help out but I'm not going to get a membership just to find that out. So I'm wondering if I can do a good job of learning the form myself with the help of videos and stuff or should seek someone to teach me abit. A lot of people have probably invested in resistance bands during lockdown so Im hoping the form isn't too complicated to figure out on your own. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:44 PM PDT Hello guys I've been through a long time trying to lose weight. I'm overweight and I've tried a lot of different diets and losing weight pills. They always worked very well to me and I've got to be healthy and skinny I've figured out (after some time with psychological treatment) and I've discovered that skinny people is a trigger for me. Everytime I see all those super perfect instagram models, magazine and everything i eat compulsively. I know these kinda of body types are toxic, social media is toxic and everything but it happens. Even If I see someone on the street And also not to help me, my husband loves this kinda of gold skin, blonde hair, breast implants and size S. Everything I am not He's super supportive and comprehensive about my everyday struggle but I'm reaching a point that I'm getting insane. I can't work out because the ideia of loosing weight triggers me. I'm stuck in this awful loop I dont know what to do [link] [comments] |
| Hey I'm looking to join the military after high school. Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:31 PM PDT What kind of exercises should I do? I can't leave my house because of COVID and I'm broke so I can't buy anything. [link] [comments] |
| Routines for vertical jump? That could replace the leg work for RR Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:12 PM PDT Background I'm 5"6/14/150lbs Gains: enough for people to notice and compliment [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2020 01:24 AM PDT I've had a search but haven't quite found an answer. Are L-sits a skill to be learned or are is it a core exercise in and of itself? I know it works a lot of other muscles too which I why I gather everyone thinks they are good to do, but I'm wondering if it can replace planks or something just as a core exercise in my workout.
