| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:38 AM PDT I've definitely thought about this before, but I just picked up a water bottle and realized halfway through drinking it I was holding a false grip and thought about how many times I've held random objects in false grip. For example, my steering wheel, bottles, shopping carts, even without anything in my hands, I'll pretend I'm holding something in a false grip. When I first learned about it I was like what the fuck what is this bullshit this is too difficult but now it's so second nature. Anyone else? [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone ever achieved the ring muscle up before the muscle up on a regular pull up bar? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 03:47 AM PDT I see the ring muscle up as much more cooler as opposed to the regular muscle up and I'm wondering if I should devote my time to just the ring muscle up and skipping the one on the straight bar completely [link] [comments] |
| One arm push up vs weighted push ups vs bench press Posted: 27 Oct 2020 05:04 AM PDT Do you think one arm push up can be as effective to build strenght as a 2 arm movement like push ups or bench press, I can do 3 incline one arm push ups and I feel they are good for building strenght,specially on low rep ranges, also its way more practical since you only need your bodyweight, on push ups or bench you need weights, I want to start training in the park with only bodyweight and some minimal equipment.

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 10:43 AM PDT I just bought some rings and I've noticed that I can't so much do regular pull ups and chin ups, it feels more natural to start palms out and transition to palms in as I go up. Is this normal? Or do I need to work on having more control over the movement? If it is normal, is it enough to build strength in the biceps AND triceps, or should i incorporate bar pull ups and chin ups as well? [link] [comments] |
| I finally held a handstand on the first kick up! Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:26 PM PDT I know these posts may come a lot but I need to celebrate the small victories. I've been training for a handstand (albeit not consistently) for roughly 6 months now. I started out being afraid to kick up to a wall, and then when I got off the wall I had problems with overbalance/underbalance. Now I'm at the point where I can get a 5s handstand at least once. And today, that happened on the first attempt! Not a lot of holding time but much better than just falling back down right away like I used to. Slowly but surely. [link] [comments] |
| Gentle grip strengthening progression Posted: 27 Oct 2020 11:01 AM PDT Hi, I had a pretty bad case of forearm strain a week back, where after completing 8 reps of towel chin-ups, I couldn't uncurl my fingers and I still haven't properly recovered my right hand to date (I also play piano, took a break obviously). I want to get into strength training, I'm now studying the recommended routine, but I need advice on what to do, so this doesn't happen anymore. I'm quite fragile, tall and long limbed, but small bone structure, I've always had hands tense up after pull ups, but never to this extent, usually I could uncurl them after a short while. I also used to do bouldering, but that's long time gone, so most of my grip strength's probably withered. My back is strong enough, so I just need my hands' health to catch up. Any ideas on grip strengthening progressions that I can measure, a goal I can set for myself to be safe when performing hanging exercises? I want to go as gently as possible, no point in rushing.

| How is progression (in general) done right in workouts Posted: 27 Oct 2020 01:57 AM PDT Hey, introduction for those interested in the background
And here is my question, how is progression done right? Because I don't want to do the same mistakes I ve done before again. Lets take the push ups for example. I startet the rr with 8/8/8 push ups ans switched to push ups with extra weight for 6 / 6 / 6 reps. Then I started to do 6 / 6 / 7 reps and went to 6 / 7 / 7 reps. But I am not sure If I am doing it right, because my last reps of the 3 set are not the best form (chin gets barely over the bar on the first progressions I bring my chest to the bar). So is my progression to fast? How do you know when it is time to progress even more or when it is to fast? I know that progression is not the only brick in this journey but I think I do a good job with the other bricks (nutrition, training consistency, exercise form, regeneration). Looking forward to you're feedback to improve my training [link] [comments] |
| Is the front lever and it's progressions suppose to be easier on a ledge rather than on a bar? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 06:33 AM PDT Training the front lever. On a bar, I can barely hold an advance tuck front lever, while on a ledge I can hold it for 10 seconds or more. I can even do front lever raises on a ledge, however on a bar I can't do this. Is this a problem with my grip or something? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:30 PM PDT I am confused about how to measure food. Right now I am weighing my chicken breast raw and it's almost a pound per breast which equates to around 590 calories with 90 grams of protein. But sources online say a chicken breast should be 4.2oz. That would make sense if the breast was cooked. So should I base my measurements on raw or cooked chicken breast? [link] [comments] |
| Advice for women looking to begin a BWF routine? Do the same rules apply? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:26 PM PDT Hello all, I want to start a BWF routine to gain some muscle and lose weight. In the FAQ there is a lot of mention of pull ups/rings. I cannot do 1 pull up to save my life. My lower body is strong, as are my abs. At the gym I used the machine for assisted pull ups, but moved far away from a gym. I'm also curious if the recommended routine would be the same for a woman, or if there are any adjustments recommend. I have the insanity videos, years ago when I did them I seemed to gain good muscle mass and was wondering if it was complete enough or if there are elements missing. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 11:38 AM PDT Disclaimer: this might not be for this subreddit but I figured you guys could at the very least direct me to the right subreddit. I'm an Uber Bicycle Courier so I'm cycling hours a day. I'm afraid of cycling so much that I cause long term damage in my knees. My question is: how many km/miles is a safe amount to bicycle a day? Thank you for your time <3 [link] [comments] |
| Benefits of Explosive Training Posted: 27 Oct 2020 11:21 AM PDT I was curious on whether or not explosive training is better for (obviously explosivity, but also) hypertrophy or strength? I'm talking low rep hit fast speeds between those reps and not totally fatiguing your muscles. [link] [comments] |
| Using counterweights when training static holds Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:47 PM PDT For the past few months, I've been training the basic static holds (planche, front lever, back lever) while doing the RR. I can currently hold advanced tuck planche for barely a second, and advanced tuck front/back lever for about 15-20s. I sort of accidentally came across something interesting the other day. I put 20lb weights in a backpack to try to make the tuck planche harder for myself. But because the backpack was fairly loose, the weight slid down towards my head and actually made it a bit easier, acting as a counterweight for my lower body. I was able to hold the advanced tuck for about 5-10s (though I wasn't counting exactly), which was pretty cool. I found something similar with back lever, where I could lower myself from inverted hang further than usual due to the counterweight. Has anyone else experimented with this? Can it be an effective way to work on the balance and conditioning aspects of static holds? Can it end up hurting form? I have seen some of those more complex pulley systems that people rig up, but it's not really possible for me to set up anything like that. [link] [comments] |
| Should elbows be bent or straight at bottom when training One Arm Pull/Chin Up? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:19 PM PDT When doing progression exercises like towel pull/chin up, I heard that bending your elbows slightly at the bottom can help protect your elbows and prevent elbow tendonitis. I also heard that you should keep your elbows completely straight at the bottom to train your elbow joint so it will adapt and get stronger. So which method of training is best for your elbows?

| Writeup on BWF as a minimal equipment workout Posted: 26 Oct 2020 04:43 PM PDT https://medium.com/in-fitness-and-in-health/minimal-equipment-strength-workout-at-home-f9609e856a21 I've been doing the RR for several months and proselytizing to friends and coworkers. Doing a very minimal equipment workout (my progressions are just rings and resistance bands) that was showing some progress seemed like an interesting article, and this health and fitness eZine agreed. I hope I'm representing the routine well and have a few links back to this sub in there. Mostly posting here to a) share and say thanks and b) make sure I haven't made any giant mistakes in summarizing. I intend to follow up there with my muay thai inspired cardio / skill routine (before the covid, I spent many happy years at the muay thai gym) So again ... thanks, and hope this writeup helps folks find this place or get a feel for how to start out, even when just stuck at home.

| Supporting Rotator Cuff post injury Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:50 AM PDT I injured my rotator cuff two years ago in the gym from repeatedly doing a core exercise incorrectly using a cable machine. However, i have triggered inflammation in the same area once again from attempting to push myself with pull up exercises. I have been reading up on rehab programs, at least 2 months of focused work, stretches, resistance band work and unilateral low level weighed exercises. Core, back maintenance as always I just wondering how people feel about wearing Braces when building up upper body stregnth. Will they aid in postural correctness and provide extra security for areas with a history or injury or are they a hinderence to ensuring you are genuinely bodyweight strong, across all the muscles small/large/supportive. I would still like to think I can do bar work if I put in the time and effort without my rotator cuff holding me back.. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 10:33 AM PDT I started to workout 2 months ago based on RR. In the last month I tried to optimize my muscle gain trough lowering my cardio workout time(I usually ran 4 times a week for 30 mins with 11 kmph) and starting a 3000kcal diet. I based my toughts on the fact that I am skinny. But today I bought a scale which can measure my body fat percentage. It showed me 16,4% and I started to feel bad and I don't know if the scale is inaccurate and I should bulk more or I should start to cut more. Based on my photos what would you say about my body fat percentage?without flexing https://ibb.co/gFgyxFh with flexing https://ibb.co/Dp6W7Ks I weitght 75kg and I am 186cm tall [link] [comments] |
| Do explosive movements have a place in your routine? Why? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 09:44 PM PDT I generally see people in the camp of 'No explosive/plyometric exercises' because of the use of momentum and other reasons. So do you incorporate explosive exercises and why? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 08:05 PM PDT Sorry if this belongs on the beginner thread, it seemed lengthy enough I risked a full post. 4.5 months in I've hit the wall in linear progress in the RR, but I'm far from having tapped out the full progressions. Pullups and squat variations both are pretty stuck - I can do five chins, but I can't do them for sets across, and I can't do intermediate shrimps with full range of motion, and I've not been able to move past that stage for about a month now. Rows and harop curls have been stuck for less long, (dips and pushups are progressing fine). I've tried a few things from Overcoming Gravity to shake things loose - add one rep total, rather than a rep per set, or a fourth set before adding reps (7/7/7 -> 7/7/7/7 -> 8/8/8) but no movement. A deload week 3 months in helped considerably, but another one a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty much back where I started. Sleep's stable, and while I initially lost a lot of weight (~30 pounds since March, almost definitely due to my diet changing naturally in quarantine, rather than exercise), that's flattened off as I've supplemented protein, so I think nutrition isn't the barrier. I'd love to stay on good ol' linear progression, even slow linear progression, if possible, and if someone has a solution for me, I'd love it, but I suspect I've just hit the (sadly low) limit for my body. Various "intermediate" routines seem too advanced however - I can't have exhausted full body workouts yet. Overcoming Gravity seems full of useful info but I can't internalize it enough to built a routine on my own. What I'm looking for is either an obvious solution to get back onto linear progression (at least till I can do a damn pullup), or a "late game" RR that keeps the progressions, the OG style Vertical/Horizontal Push/Pull exercise layout, but replaces it with a longer mesocycle. As it stands I've gone weeks without adding reps to anything except pushups and dips and it's deep demoralizing. If any other info is useful - I'm a few month shy of 39, 160 pounds, and deeply unathletic my whole life. I work as an actor, and my medium term goals are hypertrophy (for my job), but I'm really stuck in the "just past beginner" strength realm to start specializing. Any help or guidance appreciated.

| What’s your favorite accessories to add to ring or suspension trainer? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 04:22 PM PDT Trying to stimulate some interesting thoughts and ideas for members to change things up and see what everyone likes to use on their setup. For my ring / suspension / pulley system these are my favorite tools Wooden grips Towels Fat gripz Wide / super wide dowel bar Resistance bands While most of these tools seem like grip trainers(which they are) they also enable better isolation for different shoulder muscle increasing activation for larger groups [link] [comments] |
