    Sharing some great (and unknown) resources I have found for joint health and injuries.

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 06:39 AM PST

    I tend to suffer from instability of the joints (elbow+knee), so I focus my training mostly on stability as a way to avoid injuries.

    Here are the videos that have been most useful during my training "career".

    I will post the videos plus the source/creator.

    From MoveMore MP

    Proofing of Low gait Position

    Ankle & Toe Mobility Routine 1.0

    I tend to do these 2 routines before doing the recommended routine. This stops the popping on the knees and lets me train freely.

    From Mr. Physio

    A new way to stretch

    If it was not due to the language barrier, this channel would be top tier. This way of stretching healed my elbow/wrist injury. He has subtitles of most languages in that video.

    From SmashweRx

    Knee Stability

    This TRULY is a lifesaver, part 1 and 3 makes the knee feel amazing. Part 2 i tend to skip as it does not feel good to me, maybe to you it does.

    If you have some sources that help you stay training and avoid injury, by all means please post it here.

    Are there any good cardio(ish?) exercises I can do in an apartment? I don’t want to jump around and annoy my downstairs neighbors.

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 02:26 PM PST

    I live in a pretty new apartment, it's not super creaky or anything, but I try to be considerate. How can I burn some calories on a super rainy day?

    Anyone else feel like their mental is weak?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 02:35 AM PST

    So many times I feel like my muscles can bang out one more rep but my mind just gives up and refuses to let my muscles move. Am I actually at my limit and deluding myself that I can do one more rep or is there some mental block stopping me from pushing me all the way? Anyone else feel this too?

    Is training the same muscle group twice a week with calisthenics enough for hyperyrophy and strenght? Or should I train 3 Times a week the same muscle group?

    Beginner in Calisthenics

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 01:06 PM PST

    Basically I just want an honest opinion from you guys. I'm 1.76m tall and weigh 69kg.

    I've been working out using this routine for about a month now, normally with only one rest day in between each routine. I feel like I'm getting stronger but I want to know what more experienced people could say about it. The only exercise I genuinely can't do are the Lat Slides, I feel like I'm not doing them right and I just switched them out for 4x30Calf raises, different muscle group but I guess it was better then nothing.

    I've been using progressions that make me really put work in, like jumping squats, Australian rows with my legs extended, weighted lounges, I normally max out my normal push-ups at 6-7 and finish my set on my knees. So I suppose I'm doing my best, let me know what you think.

    Lack Of Progress

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 07:53 AM PST

    Hello, I hope everyone is doing well.

    I am 17 years old.

    Despite working out, my amount of reps and overall strength, endurance when working out has not not increased for the past year or so. I have tried different workout plans, each one for months, but I cannot seem to progress.

    I focus mainly on the basic exercises at the moment. Push ups, pull ups, planks, hollow and arch holds, Glute bridges, squat variations. Form is always a priority, but I seek to also get my repetitions up to a decent level.

    I used to be able to perform about 50 push ups or more some years ago, without any formal bodyweight training. I just played football and tennis a lot.

    As I begin focusing on Calisthenics training, my reps actually diminished over time. However, my muscles have definitely become larger, but I have also gained a bit of unnecessary weight. I do not do much cardiovascular exercise or other types of sports now.

    Now I struggle to do 20 push ups.

    I am sure this is partly to do with age.

    Bodyweight vs Weightraining aka bodybuilding which is better long term?

    Posted: 17 Nov 2020 09:09 AM PST

    Torn between bodyweight and weight training philosophies, been on and off I used to do olympic weightlifting for 5 years, but quit that because it started to destroy my hip and shoulder joints.

    Weight training I feel stronger and can lift more, but also I feel fatter even though my muscles look bigger, I'm less agile and move slower, I feel more tired after workouts, and it wrecks your joints more over time.

    With Bodyweight training I feel more agile, abs look better, and I feel more motivated. However, my biceps and body look smaller, if I go back to weight training I lift less, and I find that the Bruce Lee look is less accepted by women and society than the dude bro Rich Piana, Jeff Seid, or Instagram bodybuilder look. Although, I think bodybuilding as a whole is really vapid, and Bruce Lee and other martial arts practitioners have a much better outlook on life than just how many instagram followers they can get.

    Which of these training styles should I go with and what is better over time health wise and less likely to produce injuries. I've had my share of injuries from weightlifting and it starts to feel old and dull after a while. There have been many people who train mainly bodyweight Fedor, Nurmagomedov, Lee etc that trained with bodyweight and were still beasts. I just don't understand why society and American culture doesn't look up to these people who are naturally strong mentally and physically, instead of some instagram model with no other philosophy than having 3d delts and sponsoring bs supplements when the regular society doesn't believe their on performance enhancing drugs.

    Stomach vacuums - how real is the hype behind it and why is there so little information about it?

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:18 PM PST

    I am very interested in strengthening the TVA as of late, and people online bring up all sorts of different ideas - one group says planks and dynamic abs exercises work the TVA while some say only stomach vacuums work. In almost every video about stomach vacuume, the benefits are said to be amazing. What's your take on this?

    Hips Sagging When Doing Pushups

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:01 PM PST

    Hi.

    I've been working out with someone that seems to have an issue keeping their core engaged when doing pushups. After 1 or 2 reps, their hips start to sag considerably, no matter what kind of cues I give them (shoulders down and back, core tight, lats tight, glutes tight, etc.).

    They can do planks just fine (person only weighs about 100lbs) but as soon as they start executing the moving plank known as the pushup - their hips dip to the ground and shoulders round like crazy.

    I know it's hard to give advice without being able to see the performance with your own eyes - but if anyone can provide any points of advice on how I can help this person address this issue or take any guesses as to what the specific weakness(es) might be, that would be much appreciated.
