| 3 month progress! / 14 male / 118lbs. / 5'9" Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:31 AM PST For the past three months I've been exercising every weekday morning and it's the longest I've been able to keep a routine and I'm really proud. I've always been the guy who's super thin and my body's looked like the child of a twig and noodle, but now I actually have a decent bit of muscle! Another pretty major thing for me is I'm able to do full push-ups again! I know that sounds pathetic, but I was pretty pathetic. Images: http://imgur.com/a/RbK83S1 I wish I had pictures from summer when I was a twig to compare these to, but trust me, I was one of the thinnest people you've ever met. I've also been eating healthier and getting more protein and doing that has really helped a lot more than I thought. I just wanted to share this because I'm so proud of myself. Taking these pictures really made me realize, I actually have some muscle and it's been weird to say that. [link] [comments] |
| Weight loss over 4 months (age 30 / 188 cm / 74,7 kg) - Pics and data! Posted: 04 Nov 2020 03:57 PM PST Proud at my 4-month weight loss result: https://imgur.com/a/wn9uQw3
Why I did it? Increase relative strength for calisthenics and to look better. Source data sheet (= everything I ate in the last 4 months, Dutch people will recognize the products haha): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ulJYDpk2gH5sneYKhncfnRBt-Dl0_LUOPNDs3wMIk6s/edit?usp=sharing Some notes/tips:
Calisthenics level:
Strength progress was slow during weight loss so I can't wait to eat on/above maintenance again in the coming months and unlock those super strict muscle ups and handstand push ups! EDIT - adding workout routine details:

| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 06:02 AM PST I've been working on some issues with pistol squat imbalance. Searching past posts, I've found plenty of advice about overcoming that imbalance. Many people suggest greasing the groove to even things out, and something clicked for me. I became more conscious of my daily activities. Stepping up on a chair, I tend to use my right leg. Stepping down from a chair, I load my right leg and step down with the left. I favor my right leg getting out of the pool. Getting up and down when doing other exercises like nordic curls, I'm favoring my right leg. Even things like bending over to load the dish washer, I tend to load my right leg more than my left. I'm essentially constantly greasing the groove with my right leg while I attempt to overcome the resulting imbalance with comparatively brief workout sessions three days a week. Want to overcome imbalances? It may be as simple as quitting inadvertently greasing the groove. [link] [comments] |
| Best advice to someone struggling to lose weight? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:36 AM PST I need to lose weight fast for a weigh in for my job next week. I'm currently 3 to 4 pounds over my max. I'd like to lose more than that in the future but for now make that cut off. Any advice for me? More info: I'm a single mom so I struggle to get away to the gym since my son is not yet in daycare. For the most part I work from home. I did just get a jogging stroller though. [link] [comments] |
| High volume basics unlock difficult moves ? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:01 AM PST I've been seeing Hannibal for King advocating high volume basics of dips pushups and pull-ups and that guy can do muscle ups and front lever. Also some videos of alpha Destiny talks about high volume calisthenics. Does this style of training even work or is it just bs ? [link] [comments] |
| What do you think of this training routine? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 08:44 AM PST My intention is basically to define my body. Oh, and I'm also a woman. I don't know if it makes a difference, but anyway. short stretch 30 × jumping jacks 30 × squats 50 × jumping rope 5 kilometers alternating running and walking [link] [comments] |
| At home workouts with bench and dumbbells Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:20 AM PST I'm 15, 120 pounds, and 5'9. I'm pretty slim, don't really have any meat on my at all. I started doing 20 push-ups a day and my abs got noticeably stronger in just a few days so I want to try working on my legs chest and arms with weights. What should I do to get a bit bigger? Should I go on a diet as well? [link] [comments] |
| Exercises to Stregthen Rotor Cuff Posted: 05 Nov 2020 09:04 AM PST I began incorporating push ups back into my exercise routine and noticed stress in the rotator cuff area after I get over the 220 mark. Are there any exercises I can do to strengthen that area ? With the time change I'll be going back to the gym in the evenings so it seems like a good time to introduce some targeted strengthening exercises. My routine the past few months has been incorporating pushups into a 2.5 mile run. Run a quarter mile, stop and do 20 push ups followed by a 10 second push up, then run another quarter mile and repeat. I'll do these runs once or twice a week depending on my schedule and how I feel. I'd like to bump up my mileage for these runs and increase the pushup count. [link] [comments] |
| I'm beginning on my arms how many bicep curls should I do Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:22 AM PST my arms are skinny, 17, male, and I'm 5'7 if that changes anything [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:32 AM PST Okay so I do pullups everyday. I started with like 5 sets of just 1 to 21 sets of 1(with rest day after) and then same with when I reached 2. I've finally reached 3 but I feel like what I'm doing is wrong. I only do these sets until I feel a tiny bit sore so I wouldn't have to take rest the next day. I reached 3 pullups a week ago (this cycle started like a month ago cause I wanted to get more reps of pullups I'm a beginner) and I cant seem to do more than 3 sets of three in a day. What am I doing wrong. The day before I could do 5 sets of three. But today I only got in barely 3 sets and the remaining were failed sets of three which were just 2 reps. What am I doing wrong. I feel like I'm not overtraining cause i got from 1 to 3 in a month and a half i guess but yeah. Or am i just being impatient. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:31 AM PST I started doing the RR routine on Caliverse two months ago. On the easy level, after I did a couple of workouts, new, harder workouts appeared in the routine, which was a really cool thing. Now on the medium level, it's not doing that. Did anyone else experience this as well? Did other workouts eventually "appear"? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 08:28 AM PST Hi Guys, I have a question recently i switched to rings and found out that i have a strenght inbalance in my left arm and a muscle inbalance in my left pec. Now my question is will training with ring even out the inbalance or do i have to hit up the dumbells. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Is it a good idea to do push up against a bench half my height if not taller as an exercise? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:05 AM PST think of it as inclined pushups but if you would lock your arms straight on top against the bench you will lift yourself above ground, it sored my shoulders but might cause injury? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:06 AM PST I searched a lot. I mean, a lot. And I saw many people saying to inhale when going down and exhale when going up. People says thats for stimulation for chest. But, some says to breathe how you feel comfortable. And for me, I like to breathe out when going down and inhale coming up. Are there any performance difference of breathing? Or is it just bullshit and I can breathe as how I want to? [link] [comments] |
| What is your single biggest frustration with mobility training? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:47 PM PST I feel like when people discuss topics like mobility training, stretching, warm-ups, etc. we don't do it as often as we should despite knowing it's good for us. Personally I struggle with doing mobility exercises if they're not helping me reach a very specific goal. (ex. improving active internal rotation in the shoulder). If an exercise will help me with a problem area great - but doing generic exercises 'just because' has never been a good enough reason for me. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a Beginner body weight routine to do i every other day Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:44 PM PST Basically the title. I run 2 miles Mon,Wed,Fri and a 5k+ Sun but i want to start incorporating some body weight training to start to tone and gain some strength. I already have a system where when i leave my room i do 20 push ups but i want to expand on it but i'm not sure how to form a balanced routine. [link] [comments] |
| Best weighted pull ups programming? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:28 PM PST stats: 172cm, 60kg, 1 rep max weighted pull up around +42kg I never followed any program/routine when it comes to pull ups and recently I've set goal to increase strength on them. What would be the best approach for this, just keep training them with linear progression or would some better programming be more effective? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 12:13 PM PST Hi BWF, I did the RR for the first time on Tuesday and the second time tonight. I've never been strong or particularly fit but have decided to make the change, especially as my old man has found out he needs stents at 62. On my second go round tonight, I really struggled with control on negative dips (3x5) and could not do full press ups (3x5) so moved to incline push ups instead. Am I right in thinking I should take a step back on the progression ladder like I did with the push ups, or should I take more rest days between sessions as my body gets used to doing BWF? Thanks, Paddy [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 11:53 AM PST Last September, I herniated a lower disk. Then I broke my wrist a few months later. My body was at its peak when I hurt my lower back, and since then I've lost about 13lbs. I didn't let it get to me too much. I learned from my mistakes and was on the path towards getting back the body I wanted, this time in a much smarter fashion. But this past summer, I suddenly woke up with chest pain. After a ridiculous amount of appointments and what felt like a wild goose chase, I found out I had pericarditis (heart condition). The doctor said it would go away in a few months. But its been a few months and Im seriously doubting whether its pericarditis since the pain is concentrated on my right side. So within the span of a year, my body has been practically destroyed. Between the three injuries, my body has become a shell of its former self. I've been working out through it all, but I'm at a crossroads right now. Every workout has been a chore. Having to be hyper-aware of every movement I make and every sensation I feel to make sure I don't re-injure myself. Calculating every exercise and making stressful adjusting every single workout. But that's not really the problem. The problem is that my chest is still hurting. I've taken every precaution to avoid hurting it except one— not working out entirely. I know it may seem obvious what I have to do, and its been pretty obvious to me for a while. I have to stop working out. But I am struggling with this decision because of the role working out has in my life. It has saved me countless times and stopping will put me in a dark place. I know that for sure. All of the insecurities that have been held at bay are going to be let loose, and I'm afraid. Seeing myself lose so much weight this past year and feeling my shirts grow looser and looser, its been killing me. That's why I continued to work out through it all. If not to grow, then at least to maintain. I plan on going back to the doctor soon (I'm expecting to be put on another goose chase where thousands will go down the drain). I am not asking for medical advice. Shit I don't know what I asking for. I guess this is just me looking for some words of encouragement before I take the plunge and stop working out for the indeterminate future. [link] [comments] |

| Anyone tried Simonster Project Calisthenics Level 1 ? Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:40 AM PST I l've inky heard people mention level 2 and 3, bit can't find a review of the beginner's course anywhere. Anyone here tried it? Your thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:08 AM PST Hi I'm a 17 year old male wondering if anyone has a good workout routine to get lean and cut, I'm kind of skinny not really skinny but I have like a lot of body fat on my waist legs and all over which makes me look bigger than what I used to be, I'm looking forward for my muscles to show like my abs and legs and biceps and chest, if anyone would recommend a routine I would appreciate it thanks God bless.
