| Leg exercises/ Lower body workout using rings? Posted: 18 Nov 2020 08:16 AM PST Is there a way to use rings for leg workouts? I live in a small apartment (can't jump), and I only have access to gymnastic rings and bands. I am really happy with the versatility of rings in upper body workouts. However, my leg workouts are nowhere near complete. For lower body workout with rings, the only exercise I know of is ring hamstring curls (also known as ring leg curls). Please let me know if rings can be used to train other leg muscles as well. I would appreciate *any* help. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| What is your opinion of Inverted Squats? Posted: 18 Nov 2020 09:01 AM PST I just learned of something called Inverted Squats recently in which you hook a pair of specially made equipment called Gravity Boots to a pull-up bar and perform a movement similar to the Squat but in reverse. Video Demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6uDXRMh4W4 This seems like a great way of targeting your hamstrings, hip flexors, and abs without having to overwork the quads and lower back. What is your opinion on this? Do you think it is harmful to the tendons and ligaments? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 09:06 AM PST Do you guys know any other alternatives for lower chest besides incline pushups? Im using a sturdy chair for them and find it very meticulous and boring, since it doesn't feel as intense compared to regular pushups. Any suggestions? Edit: Thanks for the suggestions!

| I want to do pull ups, but I can't achieve full range of motion. So negatives aren't much help. Posted: 18 Nov 2020 08:41 AM PST The idea behind pull ups is to fully flex your back, right? Elbows behind you? Because I can do that, except for when I'm doing a pull up with my actual body. I can stand there and do imaginary pull ups with full range of motion, but actual pull ups I fall short of clearing the bar/getting my elbows behind me. And the same goes for negatives. I stand on a chair so that my arms are in position, I grip the bar, my back is flexed as if I'm at the top of a real pull up, but the second I step off the chair I drop a few inches and my elbows leave their "behind the back" position. I just don't have the strength to keep them there. I can manage to hold the negative for the rest of the motion, it's just that top part I can't do. So what do I do instead? What muscles are actually failing me here? And how do I strengthen them? Because whatever they are, they're getting no training this way. At the top of the pull up, they check out immediately.

| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 10:27 AM PST I recently got some parallettes for my push ups but I feel like my knowledge of wrist angles of and how they affect my muscle development got scrambled along the way and I don't feel myself hitting the muscles I'm aiming for like I can pure hand to the ground. Could anybody help me out with this? [link] [comments] |
| Front lever locking out elbows Posted: 18 Nov 2020 11:56 AM PST Hey everyone, I'm wondering if u gotta lock out ur elbows during front lever. I know u kinda have to, but does it have to be to the extent where u get 0 bicep activation and a lot of tricep activation? I thought I could hold the full front lever but now I realized my arms are a bit bent so I'm not sure if that's right. [link] [comments] |

| question about squat progression in RR Posted: 18 Nov 2020 12:58 PM PST it says "pretend the dumbbell'" or "pretend the barbell doesn't exist" I don't have either... Do I need them to work on this progression? [link] [comments] |

| Recommended Routine doesn't have enough chest excerises. Posted: 18 Nov 2020 12:35 PM PST I'm currently doing RR with a couple of tweaks since I don't have a pullup bar. 1st superset Dips to Australian rows. 2nd is Squats to pike pushups and finally Weighted pushups to rows again. My triceps are getting very strong but my chest is lacking. I want to know if I should change the order of the supersets or even add in more chest excerises. [link] [comments] |
| [22 Male] 160-162cm (5'3) from 46kg to 54kg (My progress so far 100 Days) Posted: 18 Nov 2020 12:14 PM PST Being a pretty short and skinny guy all my life this quarantine I decided to make some changes in my life so I started calisthenics, I'm training like 5 or 6 days a week from home, doing dips with 2 chairs, pull-ups from a bar in my garden and using everything that I have to do the best that I can. So here I am trying to share some of my progress and maybe inspire someone :) ( I tried to write as clearly as possible, English is not my native language ) Start: All started with a free app on my cellphone a 7x4 challenge(7 days a week for 4 weeks), was a really good start to gain some general arm and core strength, at first I couldn't do any diamond push-ups for example, and barely do 10 push-ups but as time passes I started to see some really good progress. Resume from these 4 weeks:
Some pictures: https://imgur.com/a/LeSuKia At this point I was starting to get motivated, seeing people on youtube doing things like the planche, front lever, and those advanced moves got me really hyped so at this point my new goal was to train hard to reach some of these movements. What now, I finished these 4 weeks and didn't know what to do, so I started to investigate I found this youtube channel and app with I think a really good progress overload and seems very challenging so that's when it started again but now with a certain routine. First mental lock: I thought that strong enough to jump into the intermediate program and that I was able to do at least 5 pull-ups/chin-ups or 5 dips, not even close, couldn't do any, and 3 miserable dips, I got frustrated, was a painful reality, they were very difficult days for me since I thought that I had improved much more. Determined to improve I started from the lowest program of this application. Beginner Program 8 Weeks: Doing basics, a lot of push-ups, abs, started doing legs workouts for the first time, but the best was Australian pull-ups, and at this point, I started to learn and do negatives of every exercise and that's when I started to see some really good progress and get strong. 3 weeks into this program and I do my very first pull-up and not 1 but 3, I've never felt so happy in my life. Resume from these 8 weeks:
Some pictures around week 6: https://imgur.com/a/kz2VRWS Intermediate Program 8 Weeks: This is where I'm currently at(week 3), a very challenging first 2 weeks. 2 days ago was my first free handstand for 15 seconds, after around 1 month of daily training against a wall. Link of the handstand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMG2aXYm2Ak Record of 13 pull-ups, 12 dips, and 15 chin-ups, at this point, I can do at least 30 push-ups. Very happy with the overall results, and want to train more! Pictures of the actual me: https://imgur.com/a/elS8srX Conclusion: If I can you can! start always with the basics, don't rush and be progressive, focus more on quality and not quantity, it is better to do 1 perfect pull-up than 10 bad ones, everything comes with time and effort. No equipment? excuses, be creative, grab what you can, and do your best! negatives are the best thing you can do to achieve an exercise according to my experience. The best of my luck to everyone out there! I work out on this: https://imgur.com/a/cXEBTXj Thanks for reading! [link] [comments] |
| Is there a way to know if the weight im exercising with is below or above average? Posted: 18 Nov 2020 11:57 AM PST Ive been going to the gym for few months now and i think ive got a good handle on the exercises that work for me. But i cant help but wonder if the weight is too low. How ive been exercising is that i follow a rule of "hundreds." I find a weight (or the lowest weight) that i can do one hundred of. As i complete one hundred of that exercise, i do sets of the next weight up until i feel i can attempt the hundred of that weight. Its satisfying and keeps me focused, but i read about how a lack of muscle soreness means that you arent really working your muscles all that much. Am i taking it to slow? Should i do more weight and less reps? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 11:56 AM PST My max pull ups is 8 and it hasn't increased at all within 3 months. On my first set i get 8 then i get 6 for my second and third set. My primary goal is to eventually progress to weighted pull ups and build muscle and strength so i wanna get 8x3 before i add weight. Within those 3 months i was doing 3 sets of pull ups twice a week no rows. [link] [comments] |
| Is jumping a good lower body exercise?0 Posted: 18 Nov 2020 10:31 AM PST I mean like, just jumping from a squat position and as high as I can, I'm wondering if it works the majority of the leg muscles, since I can't really find a lot of info on it, just jumping without rope like light skips.

| Adding bodyweight curls and tricep extensions in recommended routine Posted: 18 Nov 2020 10:31 AM PST Hi, I am a male who's goal is hypertrophy. I noticed after every session of the recommended routine that my triceps and biceps are not nearly as fatigued as my chest, lats, and other muscle groups. During the exercises, my bigger muscle groups (chest, lats) get fatigued long before my triceps and biceps. Since my triceps and biceps do not get enough work, will adding bodyweight curls and tricep extensions at the end of the routine help hypertrophy and will it be a good idea? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 10:31 AM PST Hi, so I've been pretty bored and want to put my mind to something, so I think I want to learn how to backflip. I've always wanted too but never saw it as a possibility. I am pretty lean and not too tall, and I have an above average vertical jump. Any tips would be much appreciated, as I have never even tried to do it, in fear of smacking my neck. I know it's not easy, but I have time and access to a trampoline so that should help. Any tips would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Nov 2020 09:52 AM PST I'm looking for exercises for naturally thick legs to look thinner or more muscular rather than just fat. Mostly at home exercise bc you know COVID [link] [comments] |
| Recommended Multi-Purpose Bench? Posted: 17 Nov 2020 01:49 PM PST I'm looking for a good multi-purpose fitness bench that will allow me to do Nordic Curls / Harop Curls, Horizontal Rows, Box Push-Ups, and other exercises that require (or benefit from) a bench. I'm particularly stuck on my hinge progressions because all I have in my home gym are rings, a yoga ball, and an ab wheel - and I don't have a convenient way to lock my feet for the hinge progressions. I've been eyeing something like this or this, but I'm intimidated by all of the options and I don't have much experience with gym equipment. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or recommendations you all have on an 'all-in-one' bench that's suitable for the RR. [link] [comments] |
