| One Arm Push-Up Guide + Infographic Posted: 13 Nov 2020 07:52 AM PST Hi BWF! I've spent every spare moment of the last few weeks creating this One Arm Push-Up Guide video and a Simple Infographic that should help you achieve it. For reference, I've been training calisthenics for over two years. The one arm push up was the first strength skill I learned, so I thought it was fitting to make this my first guide on my channel. Some of the things I cover in the video and infographic are:
I also test to see how heavy of a weighted one arm push up I can do at the end! Surprised myself a bit on that one... I hope you enjoy it as I spent a lot of time working on all this. And of course, I'm here to answer any and all questions you have about the One Arm Push up! [link] [comments] |
| I can do 20 pull ups in a row but can't do a muscle up. Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:07 PM PST Hey everyone, im 20 M, been doing bodyweight exercises since lockdown and its been 8 months now. i started with being able to do 5 pull ups in a row but now i can do 20 with decent form. I've always wanted to learn how to do a muscle up. Been trying for past year and still hadn't been able to, my friend who started working out with me is able to do 10 pull ups but he can do a muscle up, its a bit harder for him but he does it even after having less strength than me, even after trying for 8 months i can only get my shoulders above the bar, after that i have to give up. does anyone else here have similar problem? should i just give up?

| Core strength, lower back tiredness and piano Posted: 13 Nov 2020 04:59 PM PST Hi all, I play the piano, and have wanting to be able to play for extended periods of time to allow myself to learn more and progress. However, I find that if I try to sit and play for more than 30 minutes at a time, my lower back begins to tire, and eventually I just stop. I can get up and stretch, move around and come back, but it feels as if my "endurance" of those lower back muscles gets shorter every time. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should look at doing to allow longer times sitting at a piano bench? What kinds of things should I look out for which may be reducing my ability to play for extended periods? Are there any exercises or stretches I should do to help support my back and associated muscles? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| How impressive are front levers? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:54 PM PST I heard they're hard, I started learning them 2 or so weeks ago, I was able to do an advanced tuck just barely without assistance. Right now I can do a full front lever with a resistance band, and one legged one for a while without assistance. How proud should I be of this achievment? [link] [comments] |
| trying to gain weight but like very specifically Posted: 13 Nov 2020 07:20 PM PST okay hi. so a little about me. 5'1, 85 lbs, 16 y/o female. ive had anorexia for like two years now which led to me getting down to 77 lbs and being institutionalized in a mental hospital. i came out at 90 lbs, lost to 80 lbs, and got sent back lmao. this time i also came out at 90 lbs and im halfway back to 80 which im really really scared of. i wanna gain weight so badly but i always gain weight on my stomach and waist which is my biggest insecurity. i want to bulk up my legs and glutes so badly but i really don't know how. any tips on how to start? im eating around 1300 cals per day and i think my tdee is like 1450 if i calculated everything correctly. i know i should increase to 1800+ but im so so scared of weight gain on my stomach and i want it to be solely muscle that i gain on my hamstrings and glutes. please give me ur recommendations and exercises u think will help. thank u so much [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 03:32 PM PST So I was wondering if there were any exercises I could to do improve my balance. If it means anything, I'm trying to improve it for hockey. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Nov 2020 06:46 PM PST I'm not going to switch over a plant based diet immediately. I probably won't ever go completely off meat. But it really made me think about how I'm eating now and I've realized it's not the healthiest thing. I'm not trying to be a professional athlete, or break records or anything. I do this because I think it'll be cool to do a handstand or pull ups. It's always been said that you can't out run a bad diet. I'm healthy, but I've realized I could be healthier. So I'm going to make a conscious effort to try and working on my diet I encourage you all to watch this documentary. It's on Netflix. It covers athletes from football, body builders, ufc fighters, ultra marathoners, olympians, fire fighters. It busts some myths we've been told on what is good an healthy for your body. I believe if you're starting to see a plateau in what you are able to do, then you should try looking at your diet.
I kind of wish I saw this before I restocked my fridge tho. -.- [link] [comments] |
| Can I only do dynamic exercises when training for front lever, or should I do static holds too? Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:22 PM PST So yeah, I've been only doing dynamic exercises and rarely any static holds, should I do them? Will it help to achieve my front lever? [link] [comments] |
| Bodyweight 4 days/week vs RR 3 days/week Posted: 13 Nov 2020 01:36 AM PST For about two months I've been following the Recommended Routine, I would say with a fair improvement. Before starting bodyweight training, I used to train in bodybuilding, unfortunately like many now, given the closed gyms, I had to find a solution. Against all my expectations, I honestly have to say that I'm having fun with bodyweight workouts, mainly because they allow me to control my body much better, unlike bodybuilding. Other than that, my main goal remains muscle growth, and with bodybuilding I was used to do 4 workouts a week in PHUL (Power/Hypertrophy - Upper/Lower). In RR is recommended to do 3 days a week + skill days, I wanted to know if there are also workouts that allow you to do 4 days a week in strength. From what I understand, in bodyweight is much more difficult to train the lower-body, so I wanted to know if it was possible in some way to split the week into 4 days. [link] [comments] |
| I was able to do ring muscle ups a few days ago, but now feels like I’m starting from scratch Posted: 13 Nov 2020 03:40 PM PST About a week or 2 ago, I got my first ring muscle up (I can't do bar muscle ups and haven't practiced for it) The day I was able to do the ring muscle up, everytime I would try it, I could get it. And if felt really good However literally in my next workout, I tried the ring muscle up and it literally felt impossible. It's as if I've started from scratch and am trying the ring muscle up for the first time Im not asking for tips and stuff for the ring muscle up since there are plenty on YouTube (I wouldn't mind tips tho lol) I just want to know what you guys think why this happened. Like if I knew the reason why I can't do them anymore, like fatigue, forgot the form, stiff shoulder idk then I could work on that. If this has happened to anyone, then I would love to know how to overcome it [link] [comments] |
| my calisthenics, cardio, and nutrition journey from 140lbs->165lbs->143lbs Posted: 13 Nov 2020 12:19 PM PST i started out skinny as fuck, 5'10, 140lbs. worked hard for about 6 months (pull ups+pushups+dips+bodyweight rows+L sit+handstand+pistol squat+random other exercises, 4-5 times / week), eating a shitload of food, lots of meat, lots of eggs, then started swimming in addition to the bodyweight training (about 3-4 sessions per week, 2km per session) started eating even more, increased my carb intake, shoulders, lats and triceps got huge. i got lean as fuck. after about 3months of that i added running to the mix. i was eating insane amounts of food at this point. got even leaner. i'd look at myself in the mirror and be like DAMN. at my peak i hit 165lbs i'd say i was about 5% body fat at the time, possibly less. i got complacent and reduced my training load, weight dropped to about 158lbs. read a few books on veganism and intermittent fasting and got on that whole train. gyms and pools closed when the pandemic started. i installed a pullup bar and rings in my room but i found it hard to train at home. started taking running seriously and started training for a half marathon. stopped the bodyweight training almost entirely, and i was running 40-60km per week. did that for the past 6 months or so and last week i looked at myself in the mirror and weighed myself at 143lbs and got kinda sad. i'm alot stronger and have much better physique than when i first started at 140lbs at the beginning, but i'm officially skinny again and find it depressing that i let myself get to this. i am of the opinion that if i had kept up the bodyweight training, despite all the cardio i wouldn't have lost anywhere close to this much muscle. i think i'm a pretty decent runner now (1:30ish half marathon) and my calfs are pretty jacked but i miss walking around with a huge load of muscle on my torso. TIME TO START TRAINING AND EATING LIKE A GODDAMN ANIMAL AGAIN. (i want the vegan thing to work for me, and i think it can, but it is tough so i'm gona start eating meat and eggs again.) lay your wisdom and motivation on to me please. thanks. [link] [comments] |
| My First Straddle Planche to Handstand! Small Exercises That Were Huge Game Changers? Posted: 12 Nov 2020 02:09 PM PST Hello friends! I today was my first day attempting straddle planche press to handstand and I got it! It could definitely use a lot of cleaning up but I'm really happy for a first attempt. I think the reason I got the move was because I incorporated the wall handstand trap 3 raise as shown in Tom Merrick's awesome press to handstand video. I've only incorporated this move into my routine for a little more than 2 weeks, but I feel much more control in my handstands (which are still terrible haha). It got me wondering if anyone else had any experiences of adding something small to their routine that made a huge difference. I'd love for others to share those moves and how it was a game changer for them! Some other moves that come to mind for me personally are:
Here is my best attempt from that session if anyone's curious: https://youtu.be/zNYsbjfzsWU A couple notes:
It still needs a lot of work but I'm quite happy with my first attempts. Anyways, I'd love to read about your game changing exercises if you have guys have any! All the best, Efran [link] [comments] |
| Does RTO Support Hold train the biceps? Posted: 12 Nov 2020 07:51 PM PST Everytime I do RTO Support Holds I can feel some tension in my biceps, I'm not sure if this is a good way to train them, I want to believe they are really useful because the muscle is being worked elongated, does any of this make sense?
