| a powerlifting-style calisthenics strength cycle from Strongfirst Posted: 13 Oct 2020 08:06 AM PDT Hey, peeps. I thought I'd share this link. It's a powerlifting-style strength cycle from Pavel's people at Strongfirst and we all know Pavel from his fighter pull-up program and his Grease The Groove method. https://www.strongfirst.com/simple-strength-plan-for-difficult-times/ I'm excited to do this workout after my current strength cycle. I recently purchased GMB's integral strength and, while I like a lot of the concepts, I'm not as happy with the exercise selection. This program lets you do whatever exercise you want. In this program, you pick a squat, a pull and a push that you can do for 8-10 reps (to technical failure, not muscular failure) and hit them in a heavy, light, medium fashion over the course of a week. Over 8 weeks you build up the volume and then test your maxes again. On the rest days you can do aerobic recovery, corrective work, stretching, etc. I plan on doing aerobics, yoga and Original Strength resets (something I recently started playing with and have been really happy with). I may add light ab and spine work on the rest days. The guy who wrote this created a follow-up program if you want another 8 week cycle that follows the same principles. If you guys haven't looked into the Strongfirst calisthenics stuff, you should give it a shot. They also have Karen Smith, whose pistol and pull-up progressions are really fantastic and underrated. I highly recommend her articles and youtube videos. I'm posting this because I've always wished there was more powerlifting-style programming in the bodyweight training world and I've seen several other people on here express the same sentiment. It's challenging training with percentages in calisthenics because you can't easily adjust the weight you're moving, but by having you select exercises at the desired percentage (your 8-10 rep max) it's a pretty easy and brilliant solution.

| Anyone else feel that lunchtime workouts are ideal for them? Posted: 12 Oct 2020 06:13 PM PDT I am a 25M, 220 lbs, mostly run everyday, and used to do wrestling in high school and college. Back when I was in an office, I was too tired to exercise when I came home. Ever since then I thought of joining a gym near my office and working out during lunchtime. It was a HUGE game-changer for me. I got my exercise in, I was able to get off my chair for a bit, and I felt refreshed! And then I get to reward myself with a meal! I've tried working out through different times of the day, but morning is too early and evening messes with my sleep. Pre-dinner afternoon isn't an option for me anymore. There's even research that says early afternoon workouts are when your body's ability to perform peaks in the afternoon. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21029194/ Anyone else really like lunchtime workouts? I'd like to know your perspective and experience on different workout times. [link] [comments] |
| What are the effects of doing random sets of exercises here and there? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:54 AM PDT I'm doing the recommended routine, three times a week and cardio on the side. But I sometimes just hop on the chin-up bar to do a couple reps, or drop down to do a couple reps of push-ups. That's the good thing about bodyweight exercises, a lot of them can be done with minimal equipment and I can do them anywhere. Is that in any way detrimental to progress? Sometimes I just feel like doing something physical because I'm not sitting well, and I don't know if it's a bad idea to have these random sets throughout a day. [link] [comments] |
| Out of breath before muscle fatigue during workout. Does that mean cardio is my bottleneck? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 03:39 AM PDT Doing Calimovie's first phase and I am out of breath by the second iteration of all the exercises. If you are out of breath/high heart rate, but your muscles are not fatigued, does that indicate poor cardio as a bottleneck? [link] [comments] |
| Today I did my first ever L-sit Posted: 12 Oct 2020 04:17 PM PDT I have been following the RR for about 4 months now and after injuring my wrist I had to take 2 weeks off. Now that I got back into it, I have managed to hold an L-sit and skin the cat. My abs are also beginning to show! Quick question, should I stop my reps when my form is not perfect or is it ok to still continue with semi decent form. For example, I can do 8 ring rows with the rings touching my chest while I can do 12 with 80% rom. Should I go to like 10 or should I stop at 8 for each set? [link] [comments] |
| Advice on my Upper Body Workout Posted: 13 Oct 2020 02:57 AM PDT
I only have a Pull up bar so I cant do dips, I was wondering if anyone had any more suggestions to add to my workout plan as I wanna make it a bit more challenging [link] [comments] |
| Is my pseudo planche push up form good??? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 10:19 AM PDT I just started putting pseudo planche push ups (pppu) into my workouts and I just wanted feedback of what I need to fix. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:41 PM PDT I've had an iron gym for several years that I don't use much anymore. My 8yr niece is going through a "exercise phase" so I was going to give her mine. Unfortunately, every door in her hours has unusually high trip around the door frame. It is 19cm tall, the thickness is only 18cm. Therefore, the iron gym wont fit. Does anyone know of any other similar products. I'm looking for something that does not require any modification to anything and can easily be taken down. Maybe a knock off version that has a taller top bar? The only other type I know of is like a shower curtain bar but they tend to cause damage and fall down if they arent installed tight enough.

| How to not lose gains while recovering from shoulder injury? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:33 PM PDT I've been having aches in my shoulder for about a month, went to the doctor who did an ultrasound of my shoulder and diagnosed me with calcified biceps tendon and torn subscapularis muscle. The appointment was over too quickly; I was given a list of shoulder girdle stretches that was pretty bland and I didn't really have a chance to ask questions. It's super discouraging to hear because I only recently achieved my first ever pull up. I know I have to rest and recover, but aside from the stretches, does anyone know easy exercises I can do that will still keep my muscles active without putting too much stress on my shoulder (maybe some isometrics)?

| RR: What does it mean to "reach" a negative pull up or dip? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 11:52 AM PDT Hello I'm a bit confused when the RR says "add after you reach negative dips" etc. What does it mean to reach a negative of an exercise? Is there like a number of negative reps that means you made it? Is there a number of seconds the negative should take for it to count as a rep? Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| Tricep preparation for typewriter pull-ups? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 05:55 AM PDT So I've been trying my hand at typewriter pull-ups in rings for my past three sessions and I think they'll be a very good addition to my training. I think that my pulling strength is good enough to really start doing them for reps, but the straight arm is giving me a very hard time. My triceps are strong but not in this particular movement. Especially my first reps are really painful and awkward because my triceps are completely overwhelmed by the movement. Do you guys have good tips on particular warm-up or strengthening exercises to mitigate this? I can only imagine how hard archer pull-ups are going to be when I try them. [link] [comments] |
| Question concerning the possibility of chest- and general body-growth Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:40 PM PDT Hey there, i'm a 22 year old guy, weighs 69 kilos, working my way to 72'ish (through muscle building that is. Though, who's to say im not going further, thing is i've been sort of skinny most of my life). My chest measures about 36 inches, probably closing in on 38 in the near future. Plus im 1.86 meters tall. I'm finding myself in a bit of a pickle, as i'm not quite sure if i should buy clothing suited for size large, as I'm worried if i will outgrow a size medium in time, and thereby waste my money. Plus of course pure interest of how my body might develop through excercising. Maybe i should explain my current training routine: 3x13 Diamond push-ups, followed by 3x8 bicep curls (12 kilos for each arm), and then an intensive 3'ish kilometers run, and doing this three times a week. Though I might consider the gym.So i suppose im aiming for an a bit more athletic approach, and not just pure heavyweight. I hope this is the correct sub for such a question, if so, thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Best ab exercises and ab wheel recommendations? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:35 PM PDT I like to use the three starred exercises plus bicycle crunch as seen in this graph near the beginning of the article. I also want to look into getting an ab wheel to spice things up and bit, but I wonder if anyone has any solid recommendations( I don't want the wheel to bust, although I'm 6'2" and 190, so I probably don't have any worries.)

| Does false grip on bar require slightly more shoulder mobility than regular grip? Posted: 13 Oct 2020 12:35 PM PDT Background: I don't have great overhead shoulder mobility; my handstand form is poor and prone to banana-backing. I find I can comfortably hang from a bar -- either passively, or actively with scapular retraction and depression -- and my shoulders feel okay. But when I try to do a false or "superfalse" grip on the bar, and hang, my shoulders feel uncomfortable and kinda hurt. It feels like maybe the false grip might be moving my arms slightly further backwards overhead than the regular grip does, and it's at the edge of my mobility, and that's why they hurt? Is anyone else able to relate a similar experience, or confirm/deny that it's a shoulder mobility issue, or offer another explanation or suggested fix for it? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Oct 2020 05:32 AM PDT i dont know why exercise has gotten so complicated but im just confused on wether i should train to failure, i have certain exercises like the dip and pullup where i go pretty heavy and do 3 rep sets and sometimes 8 rep sets and every set is to failure, for example if im doing 2 hard sets of 8 my second set will be like 7 reps just because i get fatigued. when i say failure i mean i got 8 clean reps but the last rep i parely get it up there and if i went for a 9th rep i wouldnt be able to do it and / or i would need to compromise my form. ive seen studys and videos about leaving 1 or 2 reps in the tank for example if your doing 3x10 then pick a weight where you would normally do 12 reps. i feel like im going to leave 1 rep inn the tank for heavy sets under 5 reps just because of the cns fatigue and i feel like i would be stronger overtime doing 3 reps at a 4 rep max, i think this is an appropriate time to not go to failure? but i feel like when doing like sets of 8 and higher then why wouldnt you go to failure because it is more metabolic stress, if i dont go to failure on my sets and just stop early because i feel the burn then i feel like im just training half assed. basically im just tryna figure out what you guys think and what is actually the truth and not just the easy way out, personally i think if you training on low reps maybe save your failure to last set and keep your other sets at 1 rep in the tank and if your training moderate to high reps then you should go to failure on all sets. also just to add, ive never seen any proffesional athlete in any kind of sport that says you cant give it your all and you just have to stop when it gets hard because thats how you make it to be the best in the world, so i dont know why you cant train hard when it comes to building muscle, like i said i sort of understand not training to failure if your training on low reps or even if your a beginner but still. what do you guys think and what has worked for you guys.

| Links on FAQ page lead to 404 pages on github Posted: 13 Oct 2020 01:27 AM PDT So I was trying do find some information about flexibility and found a bit on it on the FAQ page.Sadly all the links on there to actual programs lead to 404 pages like these:
Or
I am still very interested in these programs, so if anyone has a working link or can update the FAQ would be really nice! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 09:24 PM PDT So I was wondering, do weighted chinups increase my regular (non weighted) pullup reps? Also i find chin ups to be easier because I think I'm a arm dominant person, I say this because aplha destiny was talking about this. [link] [comments] |
| Bulgarian split squat is way too easy but the shrimp squat is still too hard. WHAT SHOULD I DO!? Posted: 12 Oct 2020 03:15 PM PDT I looked at the squat progression on the recommended routine and I can't find an exercise that fits. as you see by the title I can do Bulgarian split squats easy on both legs but when it comes to shrimp squats I can do up to five on my right leg and if I cheat using some momentum I can maybe do three on my left leg. I saw the alternative paths but they were no good either. The first alternative path offered step-ups but I can't find a place where it can be challenging and not too dangerous. The second alternative path offered pistol squats and I thought it would be easier to do shrimp squats because it doesn't require as much mobility. Are there any other exercise recommendations to help me progress into the 5+ reps of shrimp squats? and is it okay to do an exercise for one leg and only do the regression for the other?

| Posted: 12 Oct 2020 11:15 PM PDT 33 years old I'm 5'11 and weigh 290. I'm on blood pressure meds and am pre diabetic. Last week I started hiking with friends every other day is the week 3-5 miles depending on the day. A good 1 mile up hill to begin my heart rate between 140-165. I feel great afterwards except I get very dizzy. I also started a lower calorie diet. I'm concerned about the dizziness. I have no other health issues other than I'm fat and have a BMI or 39. That means I'm morbidly obese by definition by about 10 lbs. I want to keep this up and get into shape but I'm worried about the dizziness. Any advice ? I'm burning 600-800 active calories per hike [link] [comments] |
| How do you track changes in your body? Posted: 12 Oct 2020 01:21 PM PDT How do you keep track of what is going on in the different parts of your body, and communicate changes with trainers, physical therapist, etc.? Maybe a notation or a diagram system? An actual map of your body? Or do you use specialized apps? We've got lots of muscles, fascia, tendons, clicky bone areas, all with different strength, range of motion, pain, etc. — and it would be useful to know if things are getting better or worse, or what approaches seem most effective. (This is most applicable to those who aren't just simply increasing weight counts, but addressing more complicated issues, or involved in complex sports and heavily optimized training.)
