| 30 years old, getting back into fitness after 8 years. Looking for advice. Posted: 15 Nov 2020 03:26 AM PST As a teenager I never did any exercise at all. In high school I was a heavy smoker, and somehow thought that being a musician meant I shouldnt work out. Between 20 and 23 years old I discovered boxing and calisthenics through a friend and got into the best shape of my life. I was eating healthy as well. I wasn't bulked or jacked, I just had the "healthy workout glow" and my shoulders and chest were huge (for my standards, which is still pretty small). I got into a toxic relationship in that time, stopped working out and never got back into it once we broke up. Today I'm 30, I'm a family man, really happy with how life worked out. However my body basically became a blob. High fat, low muscle, and overall small arms, shoulders, chest, etc. My posture is really fucked up as well. Yesterday I ran 2km, did a basic begginer calisthenics routine and then ran 2km back to my house. Am I messing up by doing cardio - strength - cardio? Can working out at this age do something at least for my posture ? Thx! Edit: Thank you all very much for your pointers. The general consensus is that, right now, doing something consistently is more important than overthinking it. Also, nutrition and yoga. So for now im going to stick to this routine. One day yes, one day no (is that "every other day" in english?). After this post I'll look into adding Yoga on my rest days. I'll also cut the crap with my nutrition. Again thank you all!

| I have stagnated and want to know where to go from here. Posted: 15 Nov 2020 06:31 AM PST I don't know what is causing my stagnation, but I've barely progressed in about two months. 2 weeks ago I quit the RR and moved to a weight lifting routine and not only am I still weak, I am not progressing. I think it might be my nutrition, and I don't know what I can do. I have to rely on my mom to cook and when I tried to learn to cook for myself she got incredibly mad and annoyed for I don't know what reasons since she wouldn't explain. I want to return to calisthenics, but I want to see progress. My push up count has been stuck at 3x7 for so long. [link] [comments] |
| Progressing from Push-Pull-legs to the Recommended Routine?? Posted: 14 Nov 2020 09:42 PM PST I have been doing body-weight exercises for more than a couple of months and I have been following the PPL Split with one day rest in a week . I only have access to a pull-up bar so the exercises I use are pull- ups or chin-ups for pull day and push ups for push day. I also use this for my leg day. Since the I only have pull ups and push ups in my programme, I was thinking of shifting to something more involving like the RR . I am now wondering which would be better ? To continue with my current programme as I workout 6 days a week and therefore gets more volume? Or should I shift to the RR? [link] [comments] |
| Weighted progressions vs other progressions for muscle gains Posted: 14 Nov 2020 10:35 PM PST I am a male who's goal is pure hypertrophy. I am using the recommended routine and I was wondering if adding weight to exercises, such as rows, pull ups, and dips, would be better for building muscle than progressing to harder progressions, like archer rows, archer pull ups, and ring dips. In other words, would weighted rows, pull ups, and dips be better for hypertrophy than harder progressions of rows, pull ups, and dips? [link] [comments] |
| First weighted dips, how much to add ? Posted: 15 Nov 2020 02:38 AM PST Hello members of this wonderful community ! I'm not english so please tell me if something doesn't make sense. I started calisthenics about 2 years ago but I took it seriously about 6 months ago. I can do about 12 pull ups, 9 straight bar dips and a few archer push ups. Recently, I felt tendon pain a few times both during push and pull movements, every time that happened I lowered the charge a lot and the pain went away. But I think this helped me to sense when to stop and what was too intense for my poor tendons. Today I started doing weighted straight bar dips for the first time and tried 5kg (11 lbs) but I felt a start of tendon pain and stopped immediately, I then tried with 2kg (5 lbs) and it was fine so I did this. I am quite preoccupied since I see a lot of recommendations saying you can start at 5-10 kg (11-22 lbs). Am I weird ? Do you think my tendons are weak af or is it normal ? Thanks for reading !

| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 06:41 PM PST is it pointless do practice OAC band assistance negatives (moving down the band as progression) if i cant do a weighted pullup with atleast 50% of my bodyweight [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 03:47 PM PST When you do your chest to bar, are yall actually taping your chest because I can easily get the elevation but am having trouble with the lateral movement to achieve that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2020 07:12 PM PST I am wondering how effective high volume is for hipertrofy cuz I've seen some guys like Hannibal for king and the Old school calisthenic's dude doing really high reps and they're pretty jacked [link] [comments] |
