| Posted: 17 Dec 2020 01:28 AM PST Silly question, I know, but I'm curious. At first it was tough but doable, and now it's pretty easy. Without doing any other strength exercises, when will he be too heavy? Or will I just keep getting stronger? I know there's a lot of variables, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

| Should i do push ups and crunches daily? Posted: 16 Dec 2020 06:46 PM PST And if the answer is yes how many should i do? And are there more exercises that i can do at home without equipment? Edit: Thanks for your advice everyone! I appreciate it! [link] [comments] |
| Dizzy and nausea only if doing sudden intensity Posted: 17 Dec 2020 08:23 AM PST For a while now I've been able to do a long workout. For example 60+ minutes of running, or the entire recommended routine, as long as I pace myself. However for as long as I can remember, if I even do 2 sets of high intensity exercise, like a superset of doing pushups to max reps with crunches right after, 90 second rest, repeat, I will have to stop or puke before I finish the workout. Is this type of thing dehydration related or is it just that I have to get used to a higher intensity but shorter duration workout? Long duration = good, Short duration like HIIT = puke [link] [comments] |
| Genuine question,how are crunches so catastrophically bad for you? Posted: 16 Dec 2020 11:59 PM PST I am very curious to know,since my gym instructor put them in my routine and since,ya know,hes a professional, I trust his decision when it comes to the excercises he puts in my list. I'm pretty sure they're still used in the army as well,so whats up with that? I see people avoiding them like a pest,seems very odd given that I still see a lot of people using them. Same thing with situps,they apparently obliterate your spine? What am I supposed to do then to workout and target my abdomen?Help [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2020 06:50 AM PST I'm currently "more keyboard than floor" on my fitness journey but have a large space in my yard and I'm handy with building things and tools. Was wondering if anyone has some pictures or links saved of their ideal outdoor fitness setup to share. [link] [comments] |
| Are my Upper Lower split routine workouts enough? Posted: 17 Dec 2020 08:31 AM PST I've been working out a few months now and have recently switched from a Push/Pull/Legs routine into an upper lower routine as I'm training for hypertrophy and muscle endurance, I want to be able to do a lot of pull-ups and push-ups at any given time and I'm mainly trying to grow the muscles in my chest. I currently split my routine over 2 weeks with week one being U/L/R/U/L/U/R and week 2 being L/U/R/L/U/L/R, I then cycle back to the week one schedule. The problem for me with this routine is I'm having a hard time figuring out if my routine has enough movement patterns(horizontal push/pull, vertical push/pull, etc. and I'm also having a hard time figuring out how much volume I need. So basically I'm posting this to get some advice on my routine and see what changes other people would make if you were to use this routine. My Current Upper Body Workout: Warmup with a big list of exercise I don't wanna type . Pair 1: Bar Pull-ups 3 sets, 1-2 reps from failure Assisted Ring dips 3 sets 1-2 reps from failure Pair 2: assisted one arm chin-up, 3 sets, 0-1 reps from failure Dumbbell overhead press 3 sets 1-2 reps from failure Pair 3: Bodyweight ring row progression 3 sets to failure Slow tempo incline ring push-up 3 sets to failure Pair 4: Ring skull-crushers 3 sets 1-2 reps to failure My current Lower body workout: I split my my lower body into 2 days, on one day I'll workout quads and core with the next leg day being hamstrings and calves. Quads and core circuit workout: 50lb split squat Dragon flag progression 10lb Lunge Hanging knee raises Pile squat pulses Weighted planks REPEAT 3 TIMES Hamstrings and calves workout: Nordic curl on rings 25lb single leg calf raise Deadlifts Elevated slow calf raises I've never been motivated to workout legs and core so my lower body routine is probably pretty shit, but feel free to give me any advice you have on how I could change my workouts for the better. Thanks In advance to the people who respond, I appreciate it and I can't wait to see what people think of my routine. An additional side question I have is does everyone else feel their push-ups form is good? And if so how would I go about learning this proper form because, although I can do many push-ups, I always get frustrated with right hand going higher and my right shoulder moving differently than my left side and I can't find any video that addresses this. I would appreciate any tips or exercise to get and keep my hands and shoulders in the proper position. [link] [comments] |
| Exercises for Abs and Equipment to get that sweet six-pack Posted: 17 Dec 2020 06:45 AM PST what exercise routine have you guys tried and what equipment to go from overweight to six-pack abs, also how long does that take on average? sorry if it's a dumb question, I would just like to know because I am trying to challenge myself to look after my body a bit [link] [comments] |
| is 5 pushups many times effective Posted: 17 Dec 2020 09:55 AM PST i challenged a few of my friends to do five pushups each time they died in a game. In 1 1/2 hour i have probably done over 200 pushups, but i have just done five each time. We have planned to do this with both situps and squats later. Is this effecteve tranining? I do train quite a but its for the most part stamina [link] [comments] |
| Anyone here try the total gym ?? Posted: 17 Dec 2020 09:32 AM PST I have done few exercises on them and is surprisingly challenging what are your thoughts?? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2020 11:21 AM PST Hi guys, I have been lifting for around 4 months. Iam 5.6ft and 70kg. Iam fat. So I went to gym and start cutting my calories. I don't do cardio as the gym I went to doesn't have the facility. The thing is I was able to reduce my weight to 62.5kg. But I can't seem to build muscle. So I start changing my diet and start eating around 2150 calories. But I start getting fat all over again and no muscle gain. Is it normal to gain fat when someone start lifting? Please give me suggestions on how I can improve. I stopped eating junk foods. No sodas, no drugs, no alcohol or tobacco. I sleep at around 10pm and wake up at around 7am. I follow bro splits and workout 6 days a week. My strength got increased but can see only a little to nothing in muscle gain. I would really really appreciate any advice. [link] [comments] |
| My routine for strong push & pull game Posted: 17 Dec 2020 08:38 AM PST Hey, some of you guys ask for schedules, so I thought I would share my approach to pushing & pulling. It takes 2 days a week and leaves plenty of time for condition training and other exercises (such as skill based exercises and abs, for example). My current routine is based on pairs of 1 pull exercise and 1 push exercise. I paired these exercises to limit the time I'm doing nothing, but I do 1 push and 1 pull exercise to give myself some rest in between my pull-exercises and my push-exercises. All exercises are more or less in the same progression and are performed from most difficult to easiest. My pairs are
Now, for each pair of exercises I do the following:
On Monday I go for a second round and then a third round. On Thursday I even do a fourth round. I always train my back/pull first, since it is weaker than my front/push. An example of a round: I do 8 pull ups. I walk towards my rings and do 4 archer push ups. Now I write down an 8 and an 4 in my journal (under the respective exercise of course) and walk towards the pull up bar. In between doing pull ups I have had about 90 seconds of rest for my lats, since I was doing push ups and writing stuff down. Now I go for a second round. All in all this method allows me to do 3 pairs of exercises (so 6 exercises in total) for 3 sets each, thus 18 sets in total in more or less an hour. If you don't have to change your rings after each exercise pair, you can do it even quicker. On Thursdays I do about 24 sets in total in more or less 1 hour and 10 minutes. If you are stronger than I am, add your progression pair to it (for example weighted pull ups and 1 armed push ups) and consider dropping the easiest pair. If you are weaker, remove a pair & add some negatives. I highly recommend this schedule for when you want to do a lot of volume in a short amount of time. Of course you can apply the same approach/method to progressions/exercises you like! [link] [comments] |
| Copenhagen Hip Adductor exercise (is nearly impossible), should i be concerned? and where to start Posted: 16 Dec 2020 11:38 PM PST Stumbled across this exercise while browsing some health and fitness exercises for groin strain/hip impingement ect. . . (30 y/o male, average body weight, and i dont exercise as much as i probably should) And i discovered that i cant even lift myself off the ground while attempting this hip adductor strength training exercise. I'm actually happy i discovered this! Although, now should i be concerned ? Possibly weak hip adductors,(Or too tight??) Possibly tight groiin muscles (pelvic floor?) I would appreciate if someone can elaborate on this ? Some helpful things i should look into researching / educational links to direct me on this , is encouraged Thanks in advance =) [link] [comments] |
| I don’t wanna have to eat too much. Posted: 17 Dec 2020 07:34 AM PST Hey, I've been doing bodyweight exercises for a while and I feel like I'm not improving. I'm 5'5 and 124lbs and I use the recommended routine to train every other day. I do 3x7 weighted pull ups with 18lbs and 3x10 push ups with 22lbs along with other weighted exercises. The thing is: I know I'm not improving cause I have to eat more but since I was a little I'm always never hungry and when I eat I'm sated very quickly I mean it's very hard for me to eat and I feel bad every time I try to overeat. Any tips would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Dec 2020 11:50 AM PST Just found this nice corner in my basement where the counter tops sort of go outwards in an upside down V Shape. Can I do dips here or not. It gives my triceps and chest a hell of a workout but I am not too sure? Let me know what you guys think. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 17 Dec 2020 09:59 AM PST Back at the end august or early September I started doing the recommended routine and dieting. I've gone from 163 pounds the day I started down to 143-145 pounds depending on the day. In now maintaining that weight which is a decent one for me as a 5'7.5" 20 year old guy I feel. I'm fairly far along in the recommended routine progressions and I'm curious now how I should proceed. The primary reason I started this was to feel better about my body. I feel a lot better about it, but I would kind of like to have abs by the time summer comes around due to owning a family lake house and stuff that I'll probably be at. I can slightly see abs visible most days especially if I deliberately try to flex my stomach to make them more visible. If that's my primary goal are there any changes I should make to the routine to try and achieve that? Also I started out with a fair amount of asymmetry with my left arm and chest being smaller than my right arm and chest (due to an injury when I was younger that I never spent time regaining muscle in those areas due to not knowing there was less muscle there due to being overweight). It has improved a good amount, but I haven't noticed them getting closer in size lately even with good form are there good exercises I can do to try and get more symmetrical? Also now that I'm just trying to maintain weight will I continue to see fat loss in areas of my body with just working out and maintaining about a 2000 calorie diet? I rarely experience any soreness the next day after working out is this an indicator that I should be working harder or more often or anything like that? Thanks for any answers y'all can provide. This subreddit has been a huge help to my journey to get in better shape. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Dec 2020 09:16 PM PST I'm at 40 kg x 5 reps for weighted pullups. Is it beneficial to just do bodyweight pullups one day? [link] [comments] |
| Diastasis recti upper and on male 27y Posted: 17 Dec 2020 09:17 AM PST So I have developed diastasis recti.. I don't know when it happened, but after cutting weight I have notice my ands are weird... In the top part of the abs I got a whole where I can sort of press two fingers between the abs and when I engage my abs slot my whole stomach becomes lice a V... I have just googled and its seems like Diastasis recti but I'm struggling to find out workouts routines to fix it. Any help would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Weighted Calisthenics vs endurance Posted: 17 Dec 2020 12:27 AM PST Hi guys,I have a big question for u today:Which is better weighted / endurance? When i say weighted i want to talk about...heavy lifts : pull-ups/chin-ups/dips low reps (strenght training) And endurance (bw / light weight) which do u think guys is better? U can do them both or u need to focus more on one? (sorry for my bad english owo) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Dec 2020 06:12 PM PST I want to create a simple full body workout routine to improve my overall fitness specifically for climbing. For the ab aspect of my workout I couldn't decide between the plank or hollow body hold. I prefer doing the plank because I feel more of my ab muscles activating but I assume hollow body hold is more beneficial as this is the position your body is in when doing overhanging climbs Can someone tell me the difference between both exercises in terms of the core muscle activation between both exercises. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| planned workouts vs spontaneous workouts? Posted: 17 Dec 2020 07:42 AM PST i'm doing the ppl split,i feel like not planning workouts and working out spontaneously and not focusing on sets and reps is much more fun and efficient since you know what you're comfortable on doing that specific day.also,i'm still following my goals and working on progressions so i'm not slacking,just not really planning workouts.what do you think?

| Gymnastic training from beginner to advanced Posted: 16 Dec 2020 10:44 PM PST I know this is ridiculous as goals but I want to get to Goals: Human flag Planche Crow to handstand Front lever Pistol squat Muscle up Basically I'm at 10 pullups; 50 push-ups, Bulgarian split squat (can do 1 pistol but not well balanced), can do handstand but not slow, and 15-20 second crow stand, I know this is a huge jump but just even a starting place towards these goals would be good; I have been doing recommend routine, but plateaued on a lot of the control moves (archer pull ups, advanced tuck lever, planche push-ups) and some of the "skills work" Any tips on getting better control and steps towards these goals would be greatly appreciated!
