    Do teen girls naturally bulk up like guys?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 11:12 AM PDT

    I am a 17 year old girl. I have been doing boxing training for two years so things like stair running, push ups, bodyweight core exercises, heavy bag training. However I am still extremely skinny. Is this just due to lack of testosterone? I am eating in a surplus but was just wondering if I should expect to not be able to gain much muscle at all from my training.

    Struggling to do my first pull-up

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:38 AM PDT

    Hi all, guys I do have a question. I have started exercising calisthenics in 15th Aug 2020, before 7 weeks, I did start with passion and commitment, specially diet wise, a proper diet plan prepared by my GF (she is an athlete/nutritionist) with good amount of calorie deficit. I am 26 years old / 178 cm and used to be in skinny fat shape for the last 3 years of my life. When I started 7 weeks ago my weight was about 82 Kg with 32% fat 🙂 After 4 weeks, my mass dropped from 83 Kg to 80 Kg and fat percentage dropped about 2.5%. But that isn't my major concern, now, after completing 7 weeks I am not able to do even 1 pull-up!!. I workout 3-4 days/week. My push strength is way better than my pull strength. I can do 5 dips, 10 declined pushups but 0 pull up. I doubled my pull sessions, focused more on the Australian pullups, negative pull ups and chin ups along with iso pull/chin-ups and finally band resistance pull/chin ups. Until now, I still use the green band "which am able to complete 8 reps with". Generally, my negative Pull ups significantly enhanced, but I am totally disappointed with the fact of being unable to pull my body up. So any tips or hints might be helpful guys?. BTW, tomorrow I will do inbody for progress between 7th sept -> 7th of oct so wish me luck 😃

    Do I have to turn my rings out?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 01:02 PM PDT

    With ring dips or pushups, I see everyone turning there rings out but it seems to be more difficult and it feels like a weird position. What is the point of just turning rings out, it feels more of a natural position of just keeping the rings straight.

    Has anyone here tried Mindful Mover's Accommodating Resistance method? What were your results?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 06:03 AM PDT

    Hi guys.

    I'm sure some of you are familiar with the mindful mover instagram page. They promote very high intensity (achieved through the use of accommodating resistance), low frequency and low volume strength training. I'm curious, has anyone here tried to incorporate AR in their training? What were your results?

    I'm not looking for theoretical or scientific reasons as to why you shouldn't train to failure or why volume is king. I'm only interested in people's personal experiences with this. Thank you :)

    Weighted Pullups VS Front Lever correlation - SURVEY

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 06:34 AM PDT

    Hello everyone. So, I am in the process of "researching" on the front lever. One thing that i always wanted to find out is what is the correlation between pullups strength and Front Lever. For me personally, FL is one of the hardest skills i battled with despite having what most would call "decent" weighted pullup (i guess). On the other hand interviewing and talking to some people I get really shocking answers when asking about the relation (some can have same %BW pullup and be twice as strong in Front lever). In the material (video) im preparing i will try to be very precise in explaining why it happens (still learning and researching). However I want to ask you for a favor. If you have 1 minute to complete the survey and maybe send it to your friends who also train calisthenics - this would really help get some general view on what is the correlation. Also, you can express your view on the whole topic in the comments i would really love to hear the experience of yours. Thank you to anyone reading and deciding to contribute. Take care fam.

    Boxing/cardio routine

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:39 PM PDT

    So,I'll keep it as short as possible.

    I want to start a home boxing routine along with running , the equipment I got is of course gloves,bandages, a boxing punching sack and a skipping rope. I am a little overweight(85 kg on 180 cm height,so around 20-25% body fat ) My goal is to learn proper boxing technique, burn some fat, be healthier and generally feel better.

    I have low boxing experience(2 months of amateur training),average muscle mass( 2 years of weightlifting but I stopped 3 months ago due to financial reasons).

    What are your suggestions for a good,quality training routine with equal focus on technique and cardio? Can you please provide some useful links on where to start and give me some advice?

    For example how to combine shadow boxing, skipping rope, sack punching and running? In what order and for how long to do each?

    Thanks and have a good day!

    Workout split advice - need more rest days due to developing tendonitis.

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 05:54 AM PDT

    I've been doing the full body 3x a week routine, which has worked well and I enjoy it, but I've started getting tendon pain in my elbow and shoulder and I'm thinking I should do a split routine to give more recovery time to keep up with the damage. Anyone else have this problem with 3x a week full body and what split do you use? Less frequency hasn't worked as well for me in the past, but who cares about strength if you're getting injured.

    Struggling to change myself for the better

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 10:55 PM PDT

    Hi everyone!!!!!! I was just posting because I need some help and I'd be really grateful if even one person replies. This post will probably get lost in new but I need some advice. I am currently 173cm (M) and weighing in at 63.5kg at 18% body fat. I have been doing the RR and some cardio, on and off, but I've been at it for almost 5 months and I have not seen much change. I think my biggest problem is my difficulty to change my diet. If anyone could help me out by sorting out how to fix my diet so that I am in a caloric deficit, i would rlly appreciate it. I find it hard especially since my parents always end up buying junk food and guilt trick me into eating because they say that if i don't eat it, then no one will and it will go to waste. Any tips would be grateful, especially with finding the urge to stop eating sugary or fatty foods. Love this community, and hope you have a good day whoever is reading this !! :)

    Is there a genetic limit to wrist flexibility gains potential?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 04:18 PM PDT

    Can anyone get 90 degrees wrist flexibility if they just train or will different people have different limits no matter how much training they go through because of their genetic limit? It's kind of like the leg splits. No matter how hard they train some people will never reach 180 degrees.

    Does anyone here have some good exercise suggestions to build strength towards the Victorian on PBars?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 01:05 AM PDT

    Basically what the title says.

    Been doing assisted Front Lever Rows for a while as well as assisted Victorian Holds with a resistance band. However, progress has kind of stalled recently and I am curious to hear if some people know a few exercises that could speed up my progress.

    Thanks in advance to everyone, have a good workout session. ✌

    How often can I push my athletes to do max reps? Is having them max out on a few body weight exercises twice a week too much?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 08:24 AM PDT

    I have recently taken over coaching Men's Gymnastics after having been away from the sport for about 12 years. I'm trying to get the guys back in shape after a COVID lost season last year and competitions about to ramp up again soon. The problem is the gymnasts are extremely weak having been out of the gym for so long.

    I've created a plan to begin logging their weight and having them complete max reps on the following exercises every Monday and Friday...

    • Max Circles in one try (On Mushroom)
    • Max reps Push-ups - chest must hit object on the floor (in 60 seconds)
    • L-Hold on the Parallettes - straight legs, chin up (Max hold until ankles fall below bar line)
    • Max reps Controlled Pull-ups - chin must be above the bar, no kipping (in 60 seconds)

    Typically competitions are on Thurs/Fri. If that's the case, then I'd only have them perform this exercise on Monday. The goal is to have something measurable that the guys and keep track of together to see growth or decline - even their mental performance. If I have a guy who I know can bust out 50 circles but he only maxes out at 20 that day, then I'm going to have him assess and log whether that was because of a physical problem or a mental lapse so they can see that on paper too. The guys are fully on-board and excited about this new part of our workouts. I just don't want to do something that's going to do long-term damage.

    Breakdancing when younger has given me a strong pushing strength base. Anyone else feel like the sport(s) you did when you were a teenager heavily influences your strengths/weaknesses nowadays?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 07:30 AM PDT

    I bboyed from freshman year of high school until my senior year of college... so I'd say I have 7-8 years of experience. Since then, it has been about 5 years since I have practiced but I still feel like upper body pushing strength comes naturally to me (I did a lot of freezes and powermoves back then). For example when I was in college I could OHP my bodyweight with only a few weeks of doing that exercise. Also was able to hit 225 lbs for 3 reps on the bench pretty easily (@165 lbs).

    From a BWF perspective, stuff like ring dips came pretty quick for me as well as core-intensive exercises like back lever.

    The one thing that sucks though is that it's incredibly easy to develop muscle imbalances from breakdancing... my main "stab" arm is my left (dominant arm for powermoves and freezes) so to this day my left tricep and shoulder is still noticeably bigger than my right.

    On the contrary, since I never did any leg-intensive sports/exercises growing up, I've always been TERRIBLE at squatting, deadlifting, and HIIT-type leg exercises. Even when I worked heavily on those squatting and deadlifting they always lagged behind my other lifts.

    Anyone else feel like the sport they did when they were younger play a significant influence on your strengths/weaknesses nowadays?

    Pull up progression advice

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 02:38 AM PDT

    I recently got a pull up bar so I could start doing more pull exercises except I can't do any pull ups yet. I've been doing some dead hangs to try and improve my grip strength and negative pull ups to build up some strength in my back but when I do negative pull ups they make my arms hurt and I don't feel anything in my back.

    Is this normal/ok or am I going to injure myself?

    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Looking for virtual training

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:57 AM PDT

    Hi, I've been doing the RR for about 4mo... getting now to the intermediate and advanced progressions.

    I'd like to find someone experienced in the RR to look at my videos and help me improve form/prevent injury.

    Money is tight these pandemic days, but I'm willing to pay reasonably for the service...

    Yesterday I did quite an intense workout which included triceps, is it possible for me to do push ups today without messing up my muscle growth?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 04:51 AM PDT

    I focused on doing shoulders, back and triceps, today they're quite sore, wanted to do chest biceps today and pretty much all the exercises I can think of chest are some variation of a push up, which from what I understand uses the triceps, from what I also understand you have to give muscles a 24 time gap to grow correctly. would these exercises be enough to saturate the tricep too much? am I good doing them?

    side note: if anyone has a chest routine, I would be very thankfull, I'm getting a bit tired of mine

    many thanks for reading!

    How should you train for a specific calisthenic move without neglecting other parts of your body?

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:06 AM PDT

    I want to learn the front lever.

    Normally I exercises 5 times a week,

    Monday, Thurday - Push (Abs on Monday also)

    Tuesday, Friday - Pull (Abs on Thursday also)

    Saturday - Legs + abs

    I understand that the front lever is primarily an ab and back movement. How should I change my routine in order to put in more work for the front lever? I don't want to completely get rid of push and legs, I just want to focus on the lever more. I was thinking of doing the FL training 3 times a week and have 1 day each for push and legs. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Along with this, can anyone also point me towards exercises that help train the front lever, thank you :)

    weigthed calisthenics training program

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 12:05 AM PDT

    Hello Redditors, I hope you are doing well!

    I'm doing weighted calisthenics for about a year.

    178 cm (5.84ft.) - 70kg. (154 lbs.)

    Current stats:

    20-24 dead hang pull ups / 40kg (88 lbs.) x2 weighted pulls. (pull game is definitely stronger than a push game in my case.)

    35-40 dips. / 40 kg (88 lbs) x2 weighted dips.

    45--50 push ups.

    6 muscle ups.

    1 ring muscle up. (I've just started working out with rings)

    5 sec back lever.

    10 sec. advanced tuck front lever.

    probably only 10 secs tucked planche.

    My goals? To grown stronger and to maintain a fit muscular body, probably to get a few more kilograms of lean mass.

    At the moment I'm hyped to learn straddle planche and full front lever.

    I'm note sure about my training program. Is it enough to train fl and planche only 2 times a week?

    Sunday. Pull day.

    Weigthed pull ups. (Every session)

    One arm chin up negative pull ups. (2-4 times month)

    L Sit Pull ups. (2-4 times a month)

    Front lever tuck hold. (Every session)

    Back lever (Can hold it for about 5 secs, so doing it a few times every week)

    Archer pull ups. (1-2 times per month)

    Deadlifts. (2 times per month, depends how I feel about that)

    I'm not doing all these exercises per one session. First week I'm doing weighted pulls, oac, l sit chin ups and deadlifts, and the next week I'm doing weighted pulls, archer pulls and so on.

    I guess I'm not overtraning, my session takes about 1,5h with a 4 sets of each exercise. One week I'm more focused about the reps, next week it's about the weights.

    Monday. Push day.

    Barbell chest press. (2 times per month I guess)

    Ring dips.

    Weigthed paralettes dips.

    All kind of push ups. (Incline, decline, archers, depends on a day and what I feel to do)

    Negative muscle ups on rings.

    Straight bar dips.

    Chest extensions.

    A few reps of planche lean or planche tuck hold.

    Same situation as mentioned per pull day, i'm not doing all these exercises per one session, I'm switching them per 2 weeks.

    Tuesday. Legs day.

    It's a regular gym legs day. (squats, lunges, etc..)

    Wednesday. Rest.

    Thursday. Pull tricks.

    Ring muscle ups.

    Advanced tucked front lever hold.

    Tucked front lever rows on rings.

    A few reps of back lever.

    L sit chin ups.

    Friday. Push tricks + chest.

    Handstand.

    Handstand push ups.

    Planche lean.

    Tucked planche hold.

    Pushups.

    Saturday. Rest.

    Would appreciate any kind of change suggestions about the program or any tips about the planche or front lever. Am I missing something? Thank you!

    Advice for a good pull up workout

    Posted: 06 Oct 2020 01:29 AM PDT

    So the thing is have been doing bodyweight training for a few months now , getting stronger, but my pull up game is weak, i can do about 7 in one set and thats it. On the other hand i can do a lot of pushups and their variations. One day i watched the David Goggins motivation video on youtube and the guy did "nickels and dimes" 5 pullups 10 pushups every minute on the minute. So ive been doing that and slowly progressing my pull up game in terms of how many sets, ie. minutes i can do them. Is this good. If there is something better, then suggest it

    Tricep extension and horizontal pulls progressions

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:39 PM PDT

    Hello all, I'm building my own routine at the moment and using the push/pull/legs formula. Does anyone have any tricep extension and/or horizontal pulls progressions (going from most basic to advanced) I could add into my routine? I have trouble building and connecting to my triceps on my current workout. Thanks!!

    Do I have to do the same progressions each workout

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 11:19 PM PDT

    Looking to get into calisthenics, and going to be following the recommended routine from the side bar

    It mentions 3 workouts, however do I have to do the same progressions each day of the week

    For example, for my vertical pulls I'm thinking of doing muscle-up progressions, however I also want to keep my weighted pull ups strong, and progress on them too

    Would it make sense if I did my muscle-up progressions 2x/week and weighted pull-ups once a week? Or should I be sticking to the same progressions 3x a week?

    OAC people -- what routine did you use to get the OAC?

    Posted: 05 Oct 2020 02:57 PM PDT

    I plateaued with counter-weight assisted OAC, so I switched to weighted pullups and I quickly plateaued again at +60% bw 1rm. But my routine is just a basic 5x5 PPL adding 1kg when I can + more pullups /accessories

    What routine(s) worked for you?
