| Help! Yoga teacher that wants to be less flexible Posted: 10 Dec 2020 06:37 AM PST Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had exercises to recommend which will help with excess flexibility, to tighten up my joints which have become a bit lax from too much stretching. (Teaching 15+ Zoom classes a week where the expectation is to demo all the poses has not helped!). I do basic bodyweight exercises like Bird Dogs, bridges, planks, clamshells, unweighted squats, deadlifts and single leg squats. Is there anything else I can be doing? Mainly to reduce laxity in the hips, SI joint and lumbar spine. When I hang from my pull up bar I can literally hear the discs click as they separate under gravity's pull. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| What’s your go to daily mobility/warm-up routine? Posted: 10 Dec 2020 07:08 AM PST I'm curious to hear what you consider is the most bang-for-your-buck (short in duration yet effective at mobilising all your joints head-to-toe) mobility routine? This includes daily mobility work or warm-ups which are intended on mobilising the joints, rather than intense or long flexibility sessions with the aim of improving mobility. I'll go first: • 9 times out of 10 I use an adaptation of Tom Merrick's 5-min mobility routine. Been using it almost daily for the last couple of years, and over the years I've added to it, so it now takes me more like >10 mins. • More recently I've been trying out yoga and have been drawn to Yoga with Adriene's Sunrise Yoga routine when I'm craving a more relaxed and mindful mini-session [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Dec 2020 11:22 AM PST I've read a couple of peoples post on this subreddit this week that acknowledge they are not getting out what they put in there workouts. Both were complaining that they didn't gain strength or size. I am 60 years old and have been lifting for ten years. During that span, I've had only two noticeable jumps in strength only one in size and that wasn't much. (Nobody noticed). I have been on testosterone therapy the whole time. My levels were in the 200s. They need to be between 500 and 900. Two months ago I switched my therapy from androgel to injections. And boy what a difference. I noticed muscle increase in two days. And not just muscles that I focus on like shoulders and chest, but my ankles and wrist too. It pays to have experts to assess our total health sometimes. It did me anyway. I'm now 60 and stronger than I've ever been. Sex ain't to bad either. [link] [comments] |
| Is this advice for push ups recommended. Posted: 09 Dec 2020 03:30 PM PST I've just seen this video and I'm currently doing press ups with my scapular like the girl from this video. I always thought it was retract and depress the shoulder blades but this seems to be more squeeze the lats from what I can see. I'm asking this as I'm struggling to get real work done to my chest it seems to be mainly focused on shoulders/triceps and I'm wondering if it's due to lack of shoulder stability. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Dec 2020 11:48 AM PST I do understand the normal exercises for this but my question is for the extra devices that I can do from my desk while working at home. I've been seeing ads for a grip strengthener where you don't squeeze but you flex out. Is that better? Do you need both? Or are both crap? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Dec 2020 11:31 AM PST So, I have pike push ups in my workout. Pike push ups is the only shoulder exercise in my workout, since it's the only one that I can actually perform. I workout 3 times a week at tuesday, thursday and saturday. The problem is, I heard that 40-70 reps per session was effective for hypertrophy. So, that means I should do 6 reps of 7 sets of pike push ups. I am also aware that pike push ups can be made easier or harder by putting your legs closer or further away from your hands. Is it improper form if I do pike push ups without putting my legs as close to my hands as possible so that I can actually do the 6 reps of 7 sets, or do I have to do it with the most difficulty (legs as close to hands as possible) but I can't then get to the 6 reps of 7 sets?

| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 07:45 PM PST As a former division one soccer player I always neglected pull-ups while training. However, since I no longer play any more, I spend a lot more time in the gym. I dove right into pull-ups, barely able to do one. After about 3 months of training pull-ups 2 days a week religiously, I can crank out 8-10 reps for 3-4 sets depending on how much I energy I exerted at work. My body feels like it has plateaued and hitting that 11th rep is feels almost far-fetched compared to the reaching the 9th and 10th rep. I have noticed significant gains and pull-ups have helped me "activate my lats". Ultimately my goal is to be able to reach 12 pull-ups with BW and then begin adding weight while maintaining those 12 reps. Any tips for the big fella? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 03:37 PM PST Hey all, I'm having trouble locking out when I do my pull-ups. I'm great up until I descend back into original pull-up position, which is when my scapula start to bug out and get tensed. Also, my arms flap forward completely, and it's a completely irregular movement that I know should not be occurring. I'm sure this is a common issue, but I haven't found a fix as of yet. Thanks.

| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 05:49 PM PST besides the joke, my chest workouts makes me so frustrated I've done tons of push ups, bench press and it feels like front delt isolation, because that is the only think that hurts; my chest gets out untouched I've tried to check my form and slow down movement and it have helped, hovever it haven't fixed it help would be much appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 07:04 PM PST i'm a 5'9-10, 200lb, 15 year old male. i want to build muscle out of my body weight but i don't have current access to a gym. any good workouts routined can do to build muscle? [link] [comments] |
| If I switch from resistance to static training, will i lose the gains I've made? Posted: 09 Dec 2020 11:18 PM PST Basically I've been doing bodyweight training like pushups dips pullups yada yada... if I switch to a mostly static skills routine will I lose the gains I've made? [link] [comments] |
| High Rep/High Volume Calisthenics Posted: 09 Dec 2020 03:14 PM PST Just wondering, what do you guys think of high volume full body calisthenics? Many prisoners have done this sort of thing and came out jacked. (High Volume calisthenics would be doing high reps per set, and large amount of sets.) Anyone have any success stories? Insights/opinions? Or would something like the Recommended Routine still be more effective? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 08:44 PM PST Hello!! I need some help. I've found this site and I'm totally interested in trying out the recommended workout plans. What's the difference between the 'Recommended Routine' and the 'Phase 3 routine' ? I like the squats and lower body focus of the recommended one but the Phase 3 seems more specific to getting the handstand and other goals. I mainly want to ensure my legs don't shrink. Can I do cardio or some legs on the days in-between too? [link] [comments] |
| Any suggestions to installing a pull up bar in a 57"/145 cm corridor? Posted: 09 Dec 2020 08:02 PM PST Hi everyone, I'm currently looking forward to having a pullup bar in a 57"/145 cm corridor rather than installing it in a door frame, since I can have more space for my exercises. The problem is I can't find a bar in this market this long. I don't care if I have to screws on the walls, since I don't pretend to remove the bar, I'd rather leave it in the corridor. Does anyone have a solution or recommend a pull up bar for this situation? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 07:33 PM PST I'm going to buy some rings and thanks to this forum have a good idea of what to get, but haven't seen this addressed. I found a website that said a thicker strap is better as the thinner one tends to cut into the forearms during reps and can be uncomfortable but I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else. Without spending $120AUD odd it seems hard to find all of wooden rings, marked straps, thicker rings and thicker straps. These rings look great but for the thinner strap, and they are $65 whereas lots of others seem to be $100+. Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:51 PM PST Heyy, so im not sure if this is the right place to post this but only within the last year i have suddenly realised that my ribcage is slightly flared, its not that noticable from the front but from the side its really noticeable, and because im starting the tone up my lower stomach my ribcage makes me look fat and im self conscious of wearing tight clothes now :(. Ive seen some videos on YouTube of exercises that can help close the ribcage but they're quite old and i wanted to know if they where still realiable and can give you results. [link] [comments] |
