| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 07:24 AM PST Gym closed again and I am stuck with no deadlifts. It's cool to do pull ups and dips at the park, but I need to find a way to keep my lower back strong. Figured it's good to ask the hivemind and also it's something other people will find useful in these shitty times when being healthy is not considered essential. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 06:08 AM PST My journey started 8 months ago, from 0 pullups to 5 chinups with +15kg, some months ago I started training leg flexibility but I dont have clear objectives :(. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:55 AM PST so I found some articles that talk about tendon strength and how to improve it and how important it was for beginners to help them in the future and I got interested and wanted to train this way ( some context I'm a beginner that has been training typical isolation movement program ) high rep training was advised to increase blood flow and improve tendon strength while still gaining muscle mass this got me to learn about the ridicules 100 rep sets and want to know if its worth doing it because it seems very interesting and David Goggin's been doing this and he has great strength for his weight and if I wanted to follow this how do I go about making a program for the 100 reps the normal endurance reps is easy but 100 reps is a new concept that seems interesting.

| Archer push ups - energy expenditure Posted: 28 Nov 2020 10:50 PM PST If I do say 3 x16 archer push ups, I am left a crumpled mess on the ground for about a minute whilst my heart rate and breathing gain some normality. Nothing else does this. Most other exercises I simply run out of strength. Sure heart and breathing will be elevated, but I'm not toasted. Does anyone else find this with certain exercises, if so which ones? [link] [comments] |
| Why am I losing my pull up reps? Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:59 AM PST I have been training for more then a year now with calisthenics and I really still haven't gotten past the 3 sets of 12 reps of pull ups. I have gotten to the point that I can do 15-18 reps in my first set but by the third set I am struggling to get my 5-6 rep. In the start I was able to do 5-8 pull ups in my third set but every week or month the numbers drop and it gets difficult. I have been gaining muscle regardless but I don't understand that even though my back and arms dont even feel sore, I still can't push out more reps. This has cost me to stop working on archer pull ups. I still don't understand what's the problem because even after ending my workout I can do pull ups and I feel I can do more but I just can't pull myself. My dead hang after my workout session was 50 seconds so I don't feel like it's my grip hindering me but I still can't figure out what is making me lose reps. I don't feel my back or arms sore after pull ups so I do exercises like bodyweight curls and adv. tucked front lever negatives. [link] [comments] |
| Front Lever requiring Skin the Cat Posted: 29 Nov 2020 09:31 AM PST If Skin the Cat involves you using your arms to rotate your body 270°, why is it a prerequisite for the front lever, which only has you rotating your body 90°? I can understand STC being a prerequisite for the back lever, since it's the same angle, but not for FL. [link] [comments] |
| How do you guys deal with rest days? Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:22 AM PST I've read the wiki and I incorporated some of the workout recommendations with some kettlebell workouts as well. And although I have a long road ahead of me, I can already start to see some progress after 2 weeks. What I struggle with are rest days, I hate not doing something that helps me achieve my goals, and I know that rest days are just as important as diet, and good sleep. Usually what I do is some inclined walking or some easy jogging on a treadmill. I was wondering what do you guys do during rest days? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2020 11:44 PM PST If im doing push pull split, is it critical how much hours of rest between the pull & push i get? As long as i sleep enough and eat enough I mean if for instance i pull workout on sunday at 10pm so it necessary that i will do push workout on at least 10pm on monday? Or i can do it before (6pm for instance) again as long as i slept and ate well ofcourse [link] [comments] |
| Form check on tuck front lever Posted: 29 Nov 2020 12:01 PM PST New to trying the front lever progression. Tried to move up to the advanced tuck FL. Please let me know how my form is. I know I lose the angle about 2 seconds into it so I'm mostly wondering about those first two seconds. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:46 AM PST Hi Fella's. I lost 25 pounds which is good but am now in the skinny fat range. What exercises do you recommend and how much of each do you recommend to strengthen stomach muscles? [link] [comments] |
| Would basketball interfere with the RR? Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:24 AM PST Title. Not as a team, but maybe pickup or playing alone, would that interfere with results/growth with RR? [link] [comments] |
| I started to notice I have wider hips than I would like and I need a way to fix this somehow. Posted: 29 Nov 2020 11:14 AM PST I really don't know where to post this but I need some help. I am very irritated and annoyed because of my possibly disproportionate body. I have relatively wide hips for a guy and it makes my body look more feminine than I'd like. I can't tell if it's because I lack muscle, or I still have a lot more fat to lose or just both. I also remembered about klinefelter's syndrome which makes this all the more difficult for me to stay level headed about. I lost so much weight (114 pounds lost as of now) to gain some sort of confidence that I didn't have prior to my weight-loss journey. Now it all feels like I'm back in square one and I need some sort of way to fix this somehow. Here are pictures. I'm 5'9" and a half, weighing 154 lbs (69 kg) and asian if that matters. My lifestyle until now (for pretty much my entire life) has been very sedentary except for the time I went to the gym last year for six months and stopped because of COVID. Even though I did go to the gym for that long my body still doesn't look like I put very much effort into actually working out (like anything I do anymore). If it wasn't normal, what can I do to fix this? I know my bone structure is set in stone and there's no way to change it. If there are workouts that I can do to build up muscle to counter it I'd like to know (I'm still a bit new to a lot of body weight fitness stuff so please make it a bit easy to understand). But at the moment I can't help but dwell about this further more than I should. I feel really stupid about this because it seems so trivial and I'm probably very bummed out for no reason. It could just love handles or something but I can't get the thought of having wide hips out of my head. I'm just asking for a second opinion and some advice on how to deal with it. I apologize in advance if it isn't appropriate for this subreddit. [link] [comments] |

| Iron Cross: Overcoming Bodies Tendency to Retract Help Posted: 28 Nov 2020 03:38 PM PST Hello friends, So I've been training for the Iron Cross for some time now and making good progress. One particular aspect of my cross I'm trying to improve on is the depressed shoulder, protracted position of the move. Unfortunately it seems my body prefers to retract in the position and has been messing up my form/practice so I thought I'd come over and ask if the way I a plan to go about fixing it makes sense and if anyone has any other suggestions. Here's A Video Example of What I'm Referring Too: Link
Some Background: So for training the cross I've been mostly using progressively lighter bands to progress towards the actual move. Overall I've been making solid progress, I'm at the lightest band at the moment and my arms and shoulders feel much stronger than when I started. The issue is I've noticed throughout my training I'll lose my form in protraction and my body will naturally like to retract. By that I mean, I'll start protracted and depressed at the top but as I lower I lose the protraction and retract and sometimes lose a little shoulder depression along the way. Looking at old footage, often than not I'll be neutral or slightly retracted at the bottom position. Sometimes I'll have bursts of training session when the form is the way I want it to be and it feels effortless, only for it to revert back to the unwanted position during training a week later. Sometimes the retraction occurs when I'm tired or I'm using my most challenging band level. Other times it occurs when I'm fresh and feel strong which confuses me (it could be the protraction muscles are tired but I don't notice but that's just a guess) Ideally, I'd like to get the move with protraction (neutral is ok) rather than retracted but it seems I'm fighting my bodies natural tendency to retract (it could also be a sign of weakness and my body is just compensating) Current Plan: So recently (today) I think I've gotten the hand of engaging the right muscles to maintain protraction. I can't do it at my most challenging band (even though on somedays I can) so I figured I'd take a step back and work with an easier progression and really focus in on working those muscles that help with my protraction. So for me that'd be really flexing my upper chest, rolling my shoulders forward hard and protracting my back. For some reason I felt these parts more today so I'll be focusing just trying to instill the habit and strengthen them with easier progressions with higher volume. It doesn't feel uncomfortable or weird, I just really have to think about engaging those areas to get them to cooperate. I figured I'd do heavy banded straight arm pull downs and straight arm ring flies to maintain my straight arm strength for cross while I work on those easier bands. Question: So my question is does this seem like a reasonable plan to overcome my bodies tendency to retract during cross? Also, are there other accessory exercises that I can do that specifically target the protracted, depressed aspect of crosses that I can try out? And has anyone else experience an issue like this? Please let me know if you have a moment :D All the best, Efran P.S. So I just posted this on r/overcominggravity but figured I'd also ask here since a lot more people are members of this subreddit. Side Note: Why I'm Fixated On Protraction Over Other Positions So if you're curious on why I'd like to cross with protraction over the other positions, I'll list them here. If you think these reasons are dumb and I shouldn't fight the retraction let me know why :D

| I have a question regarding this workout! Posted: 28 Nov 2020 07:39 PM PST Hey everyone, I'm 20M been doing bodyweight workouts since lockdown and I'm in love with them. I recently tried this workout I saw on YouTube, I also added 10 min jump rope as a warn up to that workout as the guy in the video said that add 10-20 mins of cardio as warm up. My question is that should I do cardio in the end or before? And should I reduce the reps of pull ups cause those were the hardest part of the workout! It took me around 45 mins to complete this, is this worth it or should I try something else? [link] [comments] |
