| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:15 AM PST Hi, I'm thinking about getting a couple of parallel bars as a Christmas gift from my parents (they made it clear that they could by me ones) and was wondering if they are worth it? I'm currently at the level where I can do anywhere from 12 to 25 pull-ups in one set and I can do 10 half-kipped muscle ups or 1-2 "slow", false grip muscle ups in a set. I'm also pretty decent at dips. I want to learn the front lever and one arm pull-up and was wondering if using a parallel bar could further my progression in each of those two "skills"? I live in a student house so I can't really set up a pull-up bar (ive tried). Is it possible to do muscle ups or even pull-ups on some "mobile" parallel bars that you just set up on the ground? Do you recommend any in particular, or maybe something else? What else is possible to do on those bars? I'm sorry for writing this question as convoluted as humanly possible. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2020 03:36 PM PST Does anyone know of any solid resistant band workout routines? I've tried just bodyweight but I'm having to do so many push-ups now to get any effect that I'm looking for new ways to workout at home (got a pull-up bar too which is nice) I'm not really looking for one or two exercises (although those are appreciated) but a set routine with days of the week and everything thanks :) [link] [comments] |
| Useful beginner exercises to build strength? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:43 AM PST Hi, I'm a 21yo male, currently weighing just over 10 stone (140-ish lbs/64.5kg), height 5'9. For my entire life I've been very skinny, with really, really small arms, etc. I've never done any sports or regular exercise really - but I do have fairly good stamina for things like running and mountain biking. Currently I'm at my worst shape ever, no strength at all, gained about 1/2 stone of pure fat on my stomach over lockdowns. I'd always loved the appeal calisthenics, I've never been much of a gym type person and I have tried before even with friends. However, I would supplement with basic weights at home using dumbells. I am such a totally newbie, and the amount of information and contrasting advice and experiences is totally overwhelming. I'm also concerned with doing any damage to myself, as some people I've spoken to have ligament / tendon damage due to incorrect form or overworking themselves too early on. I cannot even do a clean 4 push-ups / 1 clean pull-up, would doing a lot more reps of wall push-ups be a good temporary substitute to gain some strength in my arms? Or even wall push-ups with negative reps? TLDR: - Any advice on beginner strength building exercises, particularly for arms? - Anything to avoid so as not to hurt myself in long-term / things that you found to be generally ineffective? - Routines you may have used early on if in a similar situation to myself or slight above (and I can tailor down until I gain strength to match)? - Use of some weights + calisthenics a good combination? - Anything else you think would be useful or to aim for - I don't care if it takes me a year to see results, I'll be consistent and work hard as poss! Thanks for any responses!! [link] [comments] |
| What's the difference between bar pull-ups and ring pull-ups? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 03:40 AM PST Simple question, are the muscles used exactly the same? I'd like to learn muscle-ups but near where I live I don't have a pull-up bar, just two rings. Is it harder to learn muscle-ups with rings? To me it seems harder but I'd like to know from the experts! Thanks guys! [link] [comments] |
| Can I do rows like this? (pic attached) Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:45 AM PST I can't afford equipment so I thought if I'm im doing it right or wrong, I grab the towel as my grip, any disadvantages? Link here: https://imgur.com/a/1kJEce9 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:22 AM PST My state has recently shut down again. I'm not a consistent lifter and don't really take it that seriously. I'm a boxer and wrestler, so I train for performance not to look good. I'm going to prioritize lifting just to get in shape. I want to get as close to 145lbs as I can get. And get stronger and in shape. New routine: Morning HIIT 5 sets All 30sec 100%- High knees Jump lunges Shadow boxing Leaps Bear crawls Afternoon 4 sets of push ups- 40-50 reps 4 sets of close grip push ups- 30-40 -thinking about splitting these to different days 4 sets of weighted pull ups- 5-8 reps 4 sets of weighted chin ups- 5-8 reps 2 sets of weighted lunges- 20-30 reps And I'll just throw in 5 min of abs 15 year old, 166lbs, 5'8, skinny fat. Note ever since I started working out I've always struggled with overtraining. Any suggestions? Is calisthenics all I need to get in shape? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:52 AM PST My objectives : -Handstand -Kick higher -One arm pull up -Strong core What I do -I use the movement athlete app. These exercises have rotation, and I exercise 3x per week so each group of muscle works once a week. There is warm ups and cooldown around each session. -Example of exercices for one group (the reps are defined by how well I did in previous sessions and how I did in first sets, so they are at my level) : -Chin ups (close chin ups 3x8, chin ups 3x6 + pull up hold 3x30 sec) in the same session, though with other exercises in between. -hollow holds : 3x my max (45 sec first set, 20 sec last set) I had shoulder surgery in mars (before that I could do at least 20 pull ups or chin ups strait up, or 2 min handstands hold (on wall) Results : -I see no progress in hollow holds -no progress in handstand holds (wall) -no progress in chin ups I use something else for my flexibility and I seeing progress so for high kicks I got no problems. What's the problem? -low exercise frequency? -not enough sets? Reps (reps/time held is my max) -other? [link] [comments] |
| Am I doing my Asian Squat Properly? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:38 AM PST Hi everyone! I am new to reddit and I have been enjoying this app very much so far. Recently I have started doing what is referred to as an Asian squat. It is considered to be the perfect resting position and has many benefits. My back and knees have become much stronger and I am overall more flexible because of it. I just had once question because no matter how much research I do nobody else seems to have the same issue. When I am squatting for extended periods of time, say about 30-40 minutes then I get up to go do something. My knees hurt when I try to stand up. Then after I walk around for like five seconds the pain goes away. Is this a normal thing that happens when sitting in this position for long periods of time or am I am doing something wrong? I should note that when I do squat, my feet are straight and my butt is lowered to about 2 inches off the ground. Finally my arm pits are on my knees with my back straight. [link] [comments] |
| How do i increase weight in exercises? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:34 AM PST I have been using 2 5 pound dumbells but it is getting to easy for me. How can i increase the weight? Should i buy dumbells or something? [link] [comments] |
| Recommendations for gloves to wear during cold weather outside training? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:31 AM PST It's getting pretty cold here outside (dipping below 0C) do to guys have any recommendations for grippy gloves? Regular gloves are too slippery on the pull up bars. [link] [comments] |
| Need help with the routine I should use. Posted: 13 Dec 2020 11:41 AM PST Hi, I'm new to this subreddit. I want to workout and be in shape. I was wondering what routine I should use? I saw many people tellong others to use the recommended routine of this subreddit, but I'm not financially able to buy the equipment. I wanted to know if I can still use the recommended routine, but without the extra stuff ex.rings, straps etc. I have a pull-up bar at my home too. Also, for anyone that answers this, what exercises can be used instead of the ones that rely on equipment. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| How to get a swimmer's body with calisthenics? (and dumbbells) Posted: 13 Dec 2020 11:05 AM PST Well, I'm aware that the obvious answer is „by swimming", but I wonder what body exercises could I use to get this type of body. For references, you have examples here: 1, 2, 3, 4. As you can see, it's a perfect balance of lean and buff. In this case, what exercises should I use, and what kind of diet should I adopt? What other tips do you have? As for the moment, I am over 1.90m, so I'm guessing I already have the genes for this, but unfortunately, I'm out of shape (kind of skinny-fat) . Also, as stated in the title, I also use sometimes dumbbells. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Any help would [link] [comments] |
| I’m tired of being skinny [17M] Posted: 12 Dec 2020 07:33 PM PST Obligatory On mobile Today I went out to play some basketball. One, I suck at it. But while I was there I was just mostly looking at my arms. They're so skinny. Its a miracle that I can even throw the ball two feet. Normally I don't give much thought to how skinny I am. I've always been that way. Later on I was having trouble doing free throws and shooting three-pointers. And I thought, "Man, I should practice more. Maybe my arms'll grow strong enough to not airball all the time." But why stop at my arms? Why not do the rest of my body while I'm at it. This pandemic may be coming to end sooner than I thought but its never too late to pick up something new. I thought of bodyweight fitness since I dont really own any equipment nor do I have the money to buy some. But I dont even know where to start. Is bodyweight fitness really good for building muscle and getting big? Maybe not super fast results but decently visible results within 2-3 months? I've heard from some people that doing calisthenics really isnt worth it for people who dont weigh much. I am about 5'9 (175cm) and like ~116lbs (~52kg). I am VERY skinny. Thanks in advance.

| CHANGE IN ENERGY, SLEEP, AND RECOVERY Posted: 12 Dec 2020 12:39 PM PST Hey guys, So, in the past three weeks, I've been working with a new fitness trainer and we work on plyometrics, strength building, and mobility work. Before him, I was training with another trainer who only focused on Functional Patterns with light weights. The regimen of the workout program is so much different because it's much more body weight focused with balance work with the small bosu balls. After two weeks, I noticed that I've been getting much deeper sleep as well as needing to eat more nutritious food (also because winter) to recover. I was in between a caloric deficit and maintenance three weeks ago for four months. Now, I'm eating at a slight surplus, but it's a clean surplus. I've gained weight, but I know that's because of an adaptive metabolism. With the Functional Patterns trainer, I noticed that I was able to workout almost 500 minutes/week, sleep for 6-7 hours, and still be feeling lots of energy. Now, I need more recovery time, workout only 350 minutes/week and need to sleep for 8-9 hours (I have a sleep tracker) in order to feel not lethargic. My energy levels have decreased by 20-25%, but I have been studying for the GRE now too. Is there a reason why my energy levels have decreased a bit, I need more recovery time in between training sessions, and will sleep longer and deeper durations during this shift in training regimen? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Pike push up vs pseudo planche push Posted: 12 Dec 2020 05:17 PM PST Both of these exercises work front delts tho i want to know what's best for shoulder gainz [link] [comments] |
| Weighted pushups for gains and strength carry overs ? Posted: 12 Dec 2020 07:22 PM PST So I've recently been trying to add different exercise variations into my weight lifting routine and I've been wanting to incorporate more bodyweight exercises. More specifically for my chest and try something other than dips as they're an inconvenience on my shoulders. Deciding to try weighted pushups as a replacement. Anybody here with weighted pushups in their routine seen any difference with their physique/strength ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2020 06:01 PM PST So i've currently been doing 60 second x5 hollow holds each day for 2 weeks now, Keeping my lower back as flat as possible. Only thing is i no longer feel my abbs burning or fatigued after (Basically so i cant do a sit up anymore) And if i lower my legs further my lower back arches. Any idea what to do?

| Why does the RR not include tuck FL rows as a row progression? Posted: 12 Dec 2020 12:05 PM PST I was looking for ways to make rows harder without weights and I came across the Tuck Front Lever Pulls which are different from the Tuck Front Lever Rows (or pullups, I've seen them called both ways). My question is, why are the pulls favored over the rows? Should I even include Tuck FL rows into the RR? Or should I stick with the examples shown in the first video? By the way, I'm sorry if I use certain terms wrong. Sometimes it gets kind of confusing to differentiate between 'pull ups' and rows. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Dec 2020 03:00 PM PST I am 14 years old and I have developed an pretty solid base with calisthenics. I can do 21 pull ups with full range of motion and 61 push ups chest to ground with elbows locked out. I recently bought Pull Up Pro and Limitless Legs by Fitness FAQ because I want to learn the one arm pull up and get stronger legs. I would also like to buy Body by Rings. Now I am wondering whether I should try to increase reps and focus more on the basics. I never did dips and rows and I have been working on them. They feel pretty easy and I think I am already strong in them from the pull ups and push ups. Should I increase reps on basic compounds like rows, dips, push ups, pull ups, dips, pike push ups (trying to get 100 push ups in a row and 50 pull ups in a row)? Do I need more of a foundation for Pull Up Pro? Or should I move on and run Pull Up Pro, Limitless Legs, and Body By Rings (with push days only)? [link] [comments] |
