| Posted: 21 Nov 2020 06:29 AM PST My grandfather once told me. Keep it simple and remain consistent. Consistency can't be defeated. I didn't get it as I was a child then. Now at 29, I have started to realise it. Although this advice was general, not specific to working out. [link] [comments] |
| I DID MY FIRST RING MUSCLE UP (and first muscle up in general) Posted: 20 Nov 2020 05:54 PM PST I have been training for the RMU over the summer (for about two months) but couldn't do a single one. (Trained the false grip, negatives, etc.) September came, and I didn't have the time to train as much, because I had to go to the University in another country (which was a big change for me) Because I had no training equipment, I have set a goal to really work on the basics: • Pushing: - push ups (wide, close, normal) - pyke push ups - some time after archer push ups •Pulling: - trained going from 4 pull ups to 10 (There were also other exercises for legs and core ofc, but no need to list my full workout now) I noticed I kind of lacked in tricep strength (compared to other muscle groups), so I did triceps extensions:
After doing all of this for two months, I came back home to my country (because of COVID) back to my rings, and wanted to try a RMU just for the hell of it (didn't unpack, just went to the rings) To my surprise, I did it on the first try. I am very very happy, and very proud of myself :) I should also state that I am a 19 year old boy, 178cm tall, and im around 72kg. I was stuck on this for a long time, so I hope my post can help someone with a similar problem. Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Muscle up progression: reps vs weight Posted: 21 Nov 2020 08:43 AM PST I've been doing rings muscle ups regularly in my routine for years and it's starting to get a bit stale. I'm stuck at home right now #covid and so I use rings hanging from a door pull up frame, which means I start and end in a seated position each time. I can't rotate around the bar etc. Anyway, I started adding reps but I wondered whether adding weight would be more beneficial? Or perhaps there are just better exercises to do than rings muscle ups? I do 3x10 (although because I need to end in a seated position, it's more like 3x10x1, and I take a few breaths between reps because let's face it, it's not a conditioning session). I'm also trying to work on learning my handstand press up & tuck front lever; I'm focused more on the press and do more workouts for that, so if I'm switching this exercise I would like it to be a "vertical pull" if possible I also just flat out love doing these, so even if I just drop the reps and squeeze something else in, that might be good. Would love to hear advice from people who have found useful progressions and gained more advanced skills Thanks [link] [comments] |

| Pull-ups/chin-ups with a metal platform bed frame? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 09:27 AM PST Hey, looking for some advice on pull-ups. I'm primarily doing at home fitness because of Covid-19 and have a bit of a dilemma in terms of pull - ups: No bar and no place to put a bar (door frame is too thick and can't install a pull up bar for risk of losing my deposit). Also, no space to put a power tower. I have a wrought iron platform bed frame which is pretty sturdy (https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/andover-mills-matheney-platform-bed-andv2256.html?piid=24102551%2C24102549). If I lay it on the headboard side it stands straight up and basically a 6 ft bar to hang from. Has anyone ever actually practiced pull-ups/chin-ups using a bed frame? I know it's very Sarah Connor in Terminator 2 but getting antsy not having a pull-up bar. thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Hypertrophy based Myo-Reps full body workout routine based on RR Posted: 20 Nov 2020 03:04 PM PST Hi, I'm doing the RR since about half a year now and I'm pretty fit. I tested Myo-Reps a while ago and liked the fact that it is quite time-saving and integrates quite well with the body weight exercises.I also want to put the focus to Hypertrophy for a while. I would like to know if this kind of training will also train strenght and if it would make sense to "cycle" it with the RR, like 1 month RR / 1 month Myo (or 2 weeks each). Please also let me know if this is a totally crappy routine or idea. Its basically just the exercises from RR with a progression which allows me to do 6-12 reps. It would also work with easier progression and more reps but I like to do heavier exercises and also I hope to work on strenght too this way. [link] [comments] |
| Tips for progressing in Clutch Flags/Press Flags? Posted: 20 Nov 2020 06:14 PM PST Hey all, I have made a lot of progress in my flag game since I started training it near the start of the pandemic. I use the street sweeping signposts right outside my house. At first I could barely even get off the ground, but now I'm proud to say that I can bang out several respectable clutch flags for 10 seconds apiece. However, I've only ever trained on one side of my body, with my left hand as the base, the left elbow digging into my side, and the right hand gripping up top for support. I'm concerned that I've developed a muscle imbalance since I'm unable to do a clutch on the other side of my body, and now that I've started attempting press flag progressions they're really only possible on my left side. Pressing out so only my hands are contacting the pole, I can hold a sharp diagonal press flag on my left side for about 5 excruciating seconds before my left shoulder gives out. The same hold isn't possible on my right side, although I think part of that is a lack of flexibility. Half of me is tempted to simply focus on the side I'm better at until I can do a full press flag, but the other half thinks it would be wiser to work both sides of the body equally. Banging one out at parties will be impressive regardless, but I'm doing them more for functional strength than a party trick. What is the prevailing wisdom surrounding flag etiquette? I figure both obliques are still getting worked even if you're doing one side, but should you always mirror the flag progressions you're doing on both sides? If that's the case I'd need to go back to basics on my right side and master the clutch flag before even attempting press flags on either side. Not really sure what to do right now, but I'm proud I can do a clutch flag on at least my left side and can actually get my feet off the ground for an easy press flag variant, which means promising things for the future. Any advice you have would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
