| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 05:46 AM PDT Hi, I just wanted to ask if low reps, such as 3-5 will build muscle? I'm on a caloric surplus to get some more muscles, but I'm afraid I'm just gonna get fat. Almost everybody says that 8-12 reps is optimal for hypertrophy, but does that mean every other rep range is bad (hypertrophy wise)? I doubt that honestly but still wanted to ask others [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 11:55 AM PDT My first dragon flag. Anytime when I try to do dragon flags, my spine hurts. I get the pain when I go to the "middle" of the moving range. I feel it a little bit lower than my middle traps. It feels like some kind of pressure. What do I do wrong? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 06:49 AM PDT StartBodyWeight.com recommends alternating between dips and push ups. I don't find the same recommendation in RR. I'm older beginner (66), and I'm doing bodyweight 2 times a week. I'm quite fit (have been riding bicycle 3 times weeks many years) and not overweight (175 cm/72 kg). Should I alternate?

| Need help understanding my progress Posted: 12 Oct 2020 05:39 AM PDT Hello people, I am almost 3 months into a modified RR, here is my routine. Pullups 3 x 2+3 Negatives Rows 3 x 8 Bulgarian Squats 3 x 10 Pseudo-planche pushups 3 x 8 Dips 3 x 8 Chin ups 3 x 3 + 2 Negatives I do this routine 3 times a week, with 2 days rest in between. I am on a caloric surplus and I try to hit at least 1g protein per bodyweight kg everyday. First of all, what do you think of this routine? Second, my pull up progress is too slow. I started with resistance bands at first, and worked my way into regular pull ups. I have been able to do unassisted pull ups since 1.5 months ago. Since then I have been coupling regular pull ups with negatives to hit 5 x 3. Why is my progress so slow? I thought I would be able to do 5 proper pull ups at least in the first set by now. Do you think coupling normal pull ups with negatives is effective or should I use resistance bands instead of negatives? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 01:08 PM PDT Hi folks, This is perhaps not the perfect spot for this post, but I had started down this path and had been enjoying it for a while. I don't know a more appropriate/knowledgeable place for this. /r/loseit doesn't really seem appropriate for this. Accident might be overstating, but I lost about 60 pounds from March to August. I renovated and moved into a new house, which was about a month long process. During that time I gave up on my calorie goals because I was working my ass off, and required more food. Now I'm in a hard spot. I've built up some muscle from the work I've been doing, but I still have about 20 lbs I should lose. I'm 5' 9.5" and 202 lbs as of this morning. I was about 195 before I stopped my calories deficit, but am pretty certain that I look more trim than before. I was super weak from the long term deficit. I think I've gained a lot of muscle. So, what to do now? I feel soooo much better now than before, but I've still got a lot of flab. Can I reasonably lose 20 pounds without losing all the muscle I've gained back? Cheers and thanks.

| Increasing in volume vs. increasing in intensity Posted: 12 Oct 2020 06:42 AM PDT Hello boys and girls. Here is my question in one sentence: What are the differences between low-volume, high-intensity weighted calisthenics vs. training only bodyweight at higher volume? One prioritises progressive overload through weight and intensity, the other prioritises overload through reps and volume. Is one better than the other? My goals are: Read on for the longer question and explanation behind it: I started calisthenics during lockdown and love it. Had a good base beforehand and have been doing the progressions weighted now to try and keep moving forward. However, I have a question as I don't know if the way i'm progressing is actually in line with my goals: Currently at 15kg (33 pounds) weighted dip and 15kg weighted pullups. Doing 10kg (22 pound) Diamond pushups. Because these weights are at the limits of my strength capacity, I've been doing 3-4 sets and aiming for 5 reps. Once I complete 3 sets of 5 reps, I move up in weight. So imagine your typical strength program of compound movements but with calisthenics instead. This is all on a thick 2inch bar that I built in my garden. After these sets I always do AMRAP of the same movements, plus other push/pull movements on the opposite plane (if I did pullups as my vertical plane, I'll then do rows as the horizontal) However, my problem is that I've gone to a couple calisthenics parks recently with thinner bars and no extra weight on me, and I can still barely do 3x8 reps. I don't 'feel' stronger. I can't do muscle-ups. Normal pull-ups don't feel 'easy' or anything. Other people I train with seem to be able to do more than me easily. So this brings me to my question at the beginning: should I ditch the weighted stuff and bang out the volume with just my bodyweight? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 11:43 AM PDT Hello there guys, I've been reading great things about GMB R1 and since it's not available for purchase anymore I was wondering if there is anyone here that still has access to it and who would be so kind to share it? I would like to make my rings workout a little bit more fun! [link] [comments] |
| Is 5x5 pull ups a progression from 3x6? Posted: 12 Oct 2020 01:22 AM PDT On a base level it is because 5x5=25 and 3x6=18, but 5x5 feels so much easier. I'm confused. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 03:31 AM PDT .. What I taught (a side kick) but I can't think of a skill which has negative transfer to a side kick in martial arts [link] [comments] |
| Can consistent foamrolling/massaging have a long-term effect on muscle activation? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 05:07 PM PDT So, the thing is, I know foamrolling and massage have significant short-term effects and among these (at least from what I've experienced) is a better muscular activation/feeling. Today me and my only calisthenic friend were talking about the difference on our ability to 'spot' a feeling or a muscle and thought about this idea of rolling or massagging every day so the muscle gets less 'dull' and more 'floosy'. So we wanted to hear your thoughts about it. Is it stupid bro-science? Could it work? Either way, we will learn something new so any response is welcome [link] [comments] |
