| I re-designed the Recommended Routine Workout Log Posted: 09 Nov 2020 11:29 AM PST I've been using this amazing Workout Log Print-Friendly Workout Log by u/AdamReds , for last few months, and it's been super useful, but there were some needs it didn't covered for me. First, I love paper, I don't like to write down the number of reps in an app or an excell sheet, at least, while on the field. When I'm practicing my exercises, I like to have a pen, or a pencil, and a piece or paper. And write not just numbers, but notes, lots of notes! refering to technique, to quality of the exercise....I'm a "quality over quantity" person. Most Workout Logs are number-oriented, and the original design of this RR Workout Log has a place, down the page, for notes, but it wasn't enough for me. Aditionally, my approach to the log and track of a routine is to set goals, and track them, micro-goals from day to day. For example, if I've managed to do 6 Pull-ups one day, the next day I should try to do 7, or to improve my technique. This indication is important to me, when I'm training the next day, I want to have this indication very handy, near from me. That's why I have an "Estimated" reps field, and another field for actual reps you've achieved. You try to do what's estimated, and you write down what you actually did. From this two pieces of data you can deduce a lot of things. It's really helpful to me to have what i've planned for that day just in front of my eyes, even if I'm unable to achieve it, that teaches me I over-estimated myself. Another thing was... in the original design, 1 day = 1 Page. But normally, I like to look what I did in my last training session. To improve this, and to save paper, I thought it would be nice to change the unit 1 week = 1 page The whole week on a single page. It has to be a BIG page to squeeze all that, so I chose a bigger piece of paper: A3 format. This new design is a tri fold brouchure design in A3 format. So, conclusions: - New format: A3, a whole week in a tri fold format, a bit more enviromental friendly. - Every exercise has it's own "Notes" field, for notes specifically refering to that exercise. - More fields for notes: Down in the page, huge white gap, and upper-right, another field for notes - Structure has been mantained (warm-up, triplets, pairs...), but names of the exercises have been removed, for simplicity, so you can fill the exact name of the progression you are in - Lots of good things from the original design has been kept I hope it helps someone out there Printable A3 Recommended Routine Workout Log It looks like this when printed and folded: https://i.imgur.com/A1D5meu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/i273BZO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5TT8hbg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uEHYZEC.jpg I hope this is an oportunity to give back a little bit of all I've been given by this amazing community that has helped me soo much over time.

| Severe electric shock in left arm when doing pushups Posted: 08 Nov 2020 09:53 PM PST Hi everyone, Ive been doing calisthenics/bodyweight exercise for 3 years or so. Id like to think I have good form. However, when I went to do a pushup a severe electric jolt when through my left arm. I couldnt go completely down nor complete one. I tried once more and again, an electric jolt shot through my arm. It is so painful I cannot even do one pushup. Has this happened to anyone before? The jolt only occurs when I do a pushup. Im pretty depressed about it because I want to workout but I am scared of feeling the jolt again. [link] [comments] |
| Would this work if pull ups weren’t an option ? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 03:33 AM PST If I can't do pull ups for whatever reason, would it be an adequate subtitute to lay on my stomach (on a towel or something so there's no friction with the floor) and basically pull myself forward for reps? Kind of like crawling but just with my hands and at the same time. I did this once upon a time and I recall it being quite difficult. It's also really easy to increase the difficulty. You could hook your feet to anything and drag yourself. To me it seems just like a pull up. What do you think? [link] [comments] |
| I have quite a well built chest but thin arms Posted: 09 Nov 2020 09:52 AM PST In 160lbs 5'11. I have a pretty decent chest and overall torso from doing a shit ton of pushups, crunches and squats. However , My arms and forearms are lacking and need some work. I don't necessarily want to bulk up. I have a pair of adjustable dumbbells let me know what I should do [link] [comments] |
| Opinions on freestanding pull up bars for tall people Posted: 09 Nov 2020 07:56 AM PST I'm interested in getting started with bodyweight fitness, however the door frames in my house aren't particularly tall and I'm 6'4". I'm having a hard time picturing being able to successfully do pull-ups without feeling very awkward with a door bar. What are this subs opinions on freestanding power towers/ pull up stations like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SM8VJ6P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_quwQFbYM592H9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 This seems like a better option for tall people and has the ability to support other exercises. If this is a good option, what should I be looking for when going to buy one? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 09:16 AM PST I am overweight so I'm taking the minimalist routine (88kg) Will I see decent results of the 4 workouts plus squats? I'll be doing these until I am a lower weight so I can start the full cathletics program. [link] [comments] |
| How to have lean and moderately muscular body? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 04:55 AM PST |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 10:21 AM PST M/23/135lbs I've been lifting weights for over a year now and soon I want to make the jump to Calisthenics/ bodyweight training and really shred my body fat to see my true lean mass. I breakdance so I am very familiar with body control, balance, and bodyweight strength. So I feel like a 'beginner' workout may be too easy. Most programs for beginners are 2-3 times a week. I lift weight 5 times a week now, so I'm looking for a bodyweight program with similar frequency. Should I try to find an intermediate program or just start a beginner program. Also the program doesn't have to be exclusively body weight. I have a gym membership so the program can include, bands, pullups, dips, squats, etc.. I am willing to purchase a program, can anyone recommend a good program to follow? [link] [comments] |
| Lower back spasm during goblet squats Posted: 09 Nov 2020 07:53 AM PST I was doing the RR except skipped the warm up because i was late on time. While squatting with a 40lb kettlebell, my back spasm while trying to rise and i felt immediate twitchy pain in my lower back. Its hard to walk, but if im laying dow everything is fine. Any recommendations for what couldve went wrong and what i should do from there? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 07:46 AM PST Did a set of MUs yesterday since I'm deloading, how "strict" would you consider them (not including the kip on the 9th rep)? Know these definitely aren't slow MUs, but was never sure what counts as strict. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| M (15) 5’7 110lbs is this a good work out routine? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 09:28 AM PST Ok so I recently really got into working out to gain weight but then the gyms closed again due to covid. My body weight workout right now looks like this: 60 push up 60 pike push up 30 Australian pull ups 40 knee raises 50 explosive squats 30 low bar biceps curl 40 dips I try doing my exercises in the lowest number of sets possible and I do this workout 3 to 4 times a week with cardio sessions on my days off. So will this workout routine help me put on some muscles? [link] [comments] |

| I'm struggling with rig muscle ups Posted: 09 Nov 2020 11:35 AM PST I can do negatives sort of slow, but can't manage to pull thru on the normal movement. My shoulders seem to get caught in the rings. [link] [comments] |
| Front lever and OAP but... (Curiosity) Posted: 09 Nov 2020 11:35 AM PST I am asking this just out of curiosity to how it is possible. I am just curious, you can ignore it since the moment it might get in the way for other posts which are more important. thanks to everyone. So till this august i was pretty lean, nothing crazy, just healthy, but physically pretty thin, but no abs yet, just a flat stomach, since then i have been eating very heavy, a lot of meals up to 3000 cals a day at least, almost everyday, and almost gave up training ( was still training once a week for just 20/30 min) All this because of stress and working time. Now i have clearly put on some fat, around face, stomach and a bit on arms (but they're still pretty thin).. So now that i've clearly put many fat, i think at least 22lbs/10kg, maybe is all water or not, but its still pretty easy to notice i am fatter.. How did i end up succeding to achieve a front lever with supinated arms and 8 clean one arm pull ups with both arms + 4 one arm pull ups with a 22lbs/10kg weighted clothes with right arm and 1 with left.. Is this normal? Because i was trying so hard before getting this fatter..btw I was pretty strong before eating like this and training less, i was pulling up with 47kg/103lbs but i didn't do it since then..

| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 11:00 AM PST I'm a beginner, started 2 months ago and i'm going to include skill/mobilty training in my rest days, but i don't have the shoulder mobility to do a straight handstand, mine are really curved and i'm kinda scarried of hurting my back doing this, so should i do the handstand work anyway, even if i don't have the mobility to do it? The same happens to L-sit, the routine to skill day puts L-sit as well, but my hamstrings are to tight, so tight that i can't sit in an L shape without feeling stretch pain on them. I know L-sits are safer than handstands (at least i think they are) so, should i do L-sit training, even though i don't have the hamstring mobility? And if i shouldn't do any of this, which skill can i train in the training day? I thought about doing crane pose (with the a bent elbow which i can hold for like 30s) to get used to the weight in my hands, but i'm thinking this is a strength move more than a skill move (correct me if i'm wrong) and shouldn't be here, and i still what to do the L-sit training, but with the leg bended. Also when can i start planche training? Like after holding 3x40s handstands, or something like that, or i can start doing pseudo planche lean right away (after warm-ups and before the actual workout in the strength days)? I'm asking this because planche and one arm handstands are actualy my two goals on calisthenics and i know it's to soon to think about these two and that it will take a looooong way, but a man can dream, right?

| Posted: 08 Nov 2020 06:21 PM PST Hello, I am a 21 year old male 5'9" about 164 lbs with around 13 percent body fat. My strength is pretty decent I can do 50 pushups continuous, 15 dips (about) but my problem is my pull ups. Starting fresh I can do 7. I've been training using just body weight exercises but I've hardcore plateaued at 5-7 reps of pull ups. I'm not sure what to do. Should I start incorporating weights as well. Any tips would help! Also I have a weight vest (adjustable). I've been staying away from weighted pull ups as I can only do 5-7 normal. Thanks!!!!!! [link] [comments] |
| adding calisthenics into my current workout routine. Posted: 08 Nov 2020 11:23 PM PST I was thinking of adding some calisthenics into my workout routine. I have to increase my push ups for a physical exam next year and was wondering how i could add some into this routine. Any help is much appreciated. My routine can be found here: its a upper lower body routine 2 times a week https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h2XcaWQ7IfDe2EpythaqMiKSSXkk9B_IPxPc9OTCE3A/edit?usp=sharing [link] [comments] |
| A few questions on my workout routine Posted: 09 Nov 2020 08:31 AM PST Hello, I am looking for some advise concerning my workout routine. I am 25, 188cm (6'2) and 78kg (172 lbs) and my current goal is the muscle up. I started following the RR from this sub around April doing 3 sets of 8 rep per exercice and recently switched to 3x5 in the hope to increase strength. My current routine goes as follow : - 3x5 weighted pull up (10kg) - 3x5 weighted assisted pistol squat (10kg), by assisted I mean that I use a bench. - 3x5 weighted ring dips (10kg) - 3x5 weighted single legged deadlift (10kg) - 3x5 weighted row (10kg) with rings at waist height - 3x5 weighted rings push-up (10kg) - Core exercices. I have access to a pull up bar, rings and a weighted vest that can go from 6kg to 10kg. Concerning the pull ups, I was wondering how could I increase the difficulty with what I have? Also, should I stay in an active hang through the whole set or should I do a dead hang at the end/start of each rep? Concerning the dips, I was thinking of doing RTO dips to increase difficulty but I cannot do even one, what can I do to train that movement and do RTO dips work the same muscles as regular dips? Should I be doing both or are RTO dips a progression of the regular ones. I plateaued quite a while ago on the single legged deadlift but cannot do anything near a nordic curl even with band aid plus I don't have something to block my feet to do them, is there another progression I could work on? For the push-up, I was also thinking of doing RTO push ups but again, will it work the same muscle as a regular push up? Now for my goal of the muscle up, I fell like I should be able to it but I can't even with resistance band, any help is welcome here as I already looked into a shit ton of videos and explanations of the movement but without success. I feel like I should do a "biceps pull up" instead of a regular pull up with scapula etc to launch the movement but I don't want to take a bad habit. Lastly, when does one change from the RR to one of the intermediate routine from this sub? Hope you all had a great day [link] [comments] |
| Training with sore/aching muscles Posted: 08 Nov 2020 11:25 PM PST I didnt find it in the faq, is it okay to train when your muscles are still sore/aching from a workout even after a day of rest? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Critique my muscle symmetry on a pull up? Trying to spot any imbalances. Posted: 09 Nov 2020 06:47 AM PST I am having some scapular pain the las few weeks on my right side when doing a pull up. Anybody care to check my form and see if I look imbalanced? I have been working on my posture, but I still round my shoulders a lot. Avid rock climber. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 06:43 AM PST If I eat 500-1000 below my TDEE and do Bodyweight exercises will I definitely lose weight and have a leaner physique? No matter the macros but mostly fats and protein, carbs as little as possible. ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 06:37 AM PST Hi there, I have been doing push-ups before bed, and have noticed that instead of having sore arms and pecs the next day, I am unable to complete the same number of pushups, and am not feeling the soreness. To give context, I will write out a report detailing the facts from the past week. Six days ago: did 20 knuckle pushups in a row, then 25 flat hand pushups in a row. Five days ago: woke up feeling sore, did 15 knuckle pushups Four days ago: woke up feeling normal, not sore, and did 20 knuckle pushups in a row, 20 diamond pushups in a row (both of those done to near failure) and later on 30 regular pushups in a row, which was to failure (shaking and barely able to complete a push-up with proper form). Three days ago: did nothing. Feeling no soreness Two days ago: no soreness, only did 30 flat hand pushups in a row, which was to failure. One day ago: no soreness, could only struggle to do 17 pushups in a row. Could only do 10 diamond pushups. Later struggled to do another 20 regular pushups and 20 fist pushups. Felt like no matter what, 20 was the limit, but I could keep doing as many sets of 20 as I felt. I later could only manage a few at a time and at the end I could not lift myself. Made sure I was expending every bit of energy and strength to rule out the exercise becoming easy as a possibility for why I was experiencing no soreness. Today/tonight: Can only manage 20 pushups in a row. I have done 2 sets of flat hand 20 pushups, and one set of 20 knuckle pushups. Looking forward to the responses, cheers. [link] [comments] |
