| Posted: 19 Dec 2020 05:11 AM PST This is the first time i have gotten into a fitness routine in a very long time just taking it slow right now but one big problem i have is a certain degree of knock knees or genu valgum and I'm scared of doing stuff like squats,lunges, or burpees because i definitely don't want to damage my knees. What should i do in terms of getting a even workout for my whole body? Is there a safer alternative to squats? Or should i see a sports doctor? My current routine is very simple as i am so out of shape here it is below: kneeling shoulder length pushups 3 sets of 6 Plank 3 sets of 15 seconds lying down leg raises 3 sets of 10 dumbell bicep curl and shoulder press 3 sets of 10 each I do this whole routine 3 times a week spaced out so i have the recovery days in between for muscle to grow? (is that correct btw? I heard some people do planks and pushups everyday). Please let me know your thoughts on what i could add and what would be safe for my knees, thanks guys. [link] [comments] |
| Quarantine messed with my motivation Posted: 19 Dec 2020 08:55 AM PST Hi guys! I'm a 22 year old female. A bit of background, I struggled to get onto the gym fitness path for a while. I've played sports my whole life but only got into the habit of going to the gym last year. I've been doing so well and noticed improvement in my strength, endurance, stamina and more. At the start of covid I would go running or do some body weight exercises to try and maintain muscle mass. Then I had exams to study for and these were my finals so couldn't just aim for a pass so I sacrificed my health for the exams. The months went on and I notice I had lost so much fat weight from not eating because of stress and with that I also lost muscle mass. Right now, I'm sort of hating myself that I'm not treating my body right. I'm eating more junk food then I am used to, I feel sh*t mentally and I feel weak because I lost my muscle mass. Do you guys have any advice on how to recover mentally and physically to get my mind set back of working towards a healthy body? [link] [comments] |
| Discussion: what’s the best fitness advice you’ve ever received? Posted: 18 Dec 2020 10:50 PM PST Please share! Mine is always do the workout, even if you just do 3 sit ups and go home. Go anyway. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Dec 2020 07:03 AM PST My chest responds pretty well, so to maintain without a gym, I think I can get away with just doing a day of pushups or burpees. When I did this at the beginning of COVID quarantine, with one training day per week focused only on burpees, my max pushups actually decreased and I did not get such great results. Now I am considering one of those high-rep burpee routines, with the goal of losing some fat and becoming "fatigue resistant." Any advice there, or should I stick to push-up workouts?

| Strict Cutting, Body holds water weight with larger calorie deficits. Posted: 19 Dec 2020 08:48 AM PST Am curious if anyone else has experienced this, as i cut my water weight goes down. Having a deficit where i lose 0.2 lb a day or so, But i increased my deficit to where im in like an 800-900 calorie deficit 0.3-0.35 lb a day (High fiber in diet), and now my body weighs like 3-4 lbs heavier sometimes even though im eating even less, when I eat more for a day or two, it starts to quickly return to normal. Does anyone elses body chose to respond this way? Ultimately what matters is the weight at the end, but what matters the most is the understanding of my own body chemistry so i can succesfully shape how my body responds, to cutting by changing the stimulus, increasing/reducing calories etc. Quite baffled how less food can result in more weight on the scale.

| What do you think is better for Planche training? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 12:14 PM PST I have seen many different methods and I'm not sure which one is more effective, Does anyone think that it is the best to just use planche leans or use the tuck, advanced tuck, one leg and so on?

| Posted: 19 Dec 2020 11:26 AM PST I can currently do one full pistol spot on both legs. In addition, I can do about two consecutive bar muscle ups with a slight kips. I really want to keep things minimalistic so if possible I want to train just these two exercises. However I was wondering if it would be possible to progress, because I can currently do so few reps. Could I do something like this? 5 sets x 1-5 reps (for both exercises). 3-5 min rest between sets Providing my training is consistent and my diet is in check, would it possible to eventually reach 5x5 for both movements following the protocols above?

| Posted: 18 Dec 2020 08:14 PM PST I'm 6'1 and weight 70kgs. I'm too lazy to workout these days. I want to change my lifestyle and become fit. I've lost weight over the past few months. Last year I weighed 83kg. I got it to 66kgs a few months ago by home workouts and a calorie deficit. I want to start bulk. Any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Just how important is uninterrupted sleep in minimizing muscle loss? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 09:17 AM PST I (23m) had been cutting 1lb per week slowly and gaining strength. Was able to nicely improve lifts. But my body didn't look great. But by the time I weighed 160lbs I could do pullups with 25kg in a backpack and pressups with 37kg on my back. I lost fat from my original weight of 190lbs but my sleep was interrupted a lot. I'd wake up 7 or 8 times and sleep 10 hours. Very interrupted sleep. Been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and getting a biPAP machine and mask. Hopefully this means I will have no sleep interruptions anymore. Cos waking up that many times was annoying. If my sleep becomes fully uninterrupted, would I see gains in my strength and minimizing muscle loss? Did the constant interrupted sleep lead to more muscle loss? (Even tho I gained strength). What's your experience with sleep and recovery/muscle loss and gain? [link] [comments] |
| is it true that i will get stronger at bw movements on a cut? Posted: 18 Dec 2020 08:55 PM PST obviously i know i will lose weight making bw movements much more easy, but does the depletion of glycogen stores have an effect on my strength? sorry pretty new to bodyweight workouts, this is my first cut so i wanna maximize strength increases on my pullups, pushups, rows and maybe some advanced skills.

| Posted: 19 Dec 2020 01:50 AM PST I've recently wanted to start handstand so I tried using the wall but I can't get up in kick up and chest to wall is too hard to set up so what should I I do? [link] [comments] |
| Is it possible to have a higher pullup rep PR compared to pushups? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 04:01 AM PST |
| Core Progression / Assisted Knee Copenhagen Plank: No reps and unilateral work Posted: 19 Dec 2020 02:11 AM PST Hi, Thanks for the RR, it seems like a great program and will be a significant improvement over my overly simplistic routine :) I have questions about the Core Progression; in general, I should move up when I reach 3x8-12 of the Core exercises, but these are for reps, what about the exercises which involve a duration? Is is 30s? Specifically, what about a unilateral exercise that has no reps, such as the Assisted Knee Copenhagen Plank? Do I do 2x30s per side, 2x15s per side, when do I move up? Thank you.

| Posted: 18 Dec 2020 06:10 PM PST Hey, so im a female and during this past year i have been doing regular ab workouts which i believe to have made my rib cage "open" but its not really flared? Although they do protrude right under my boobs and its so unflattering and annoying because i just want my stomach to be flat and now my ribs are in the way of me achieving that. So if you please have any tips on how to fix this let me know cause i hate them so much. [link] [comments] |
| Doing the RR. Any Core Extension exercises I can do on a pull up bar, parallel bars or rings ? Posted: 19 Dec 2020 01:27 AM PST Hey guys. As strange as It sounds, I have no where to do the core extension exercises from the RR. Where I train is muddy so I can't lay on the ground, also there are no benches or anything I can lay on to lift my feet. I have a pull up bar, parallel bars and rings. Any core extension exercises I can do on those ? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Dec 2020 07:22 PM PST I've taken a 3 month break to get rid of tennis elbow now I'm at a point where the pain is very low and if I massage my arm it isn't very tender. Do you guys think its a good Idea to start up again like less then 5 mins to start and work my way up or should I continue to rest my arm until it feels even better. [link] [comments] |
| Does greasing the groove work with assisted pull ups? Posted: 18 Dec 2020 09:18 PM PST Basically the title. I can do a good amount of assisted but I struggle to do one unassisted. Will doing GTG with assisted pull ups still be effective? Should I do negative pull ups instead? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for some targeted info Posted: 19 Dec 2020 12:41 AM PST Hey guys, im looking for some exercises that focus on high reps/low weight training, decent volume, targeting my thighs and legs. I already know how to squat and do lunges, but I'm looking for some other things I can do. Throw some ideas my way. [link] [comments] |
| Really need advice re: golfers/tennis elbow!! Posted: 18 Dec 2020 04:57 PM PST Have had golfers elbow in the right elbow for a while now with mild cases of golfers elbow in the right elbow and also mild cases of both in my left elbow. Ive had it previously years ago when I did gardening as a job and was doing lots of hedging with a heavy hedging tool. Now its come back with a vengeance I believe from overdoing it with pullups/weighted pullups/muscle ups etc. The most prominent pain occurs with a straight arm while doing a dead hang and also right at the top when it kind pf pinches. Have been working on forearm/wrist exercises and doing hammer curls with really light weights and high reps (to increase blood flow to tendons). Anyone got any advice?! Im desperate to get back in the game!! [link] [comments] |
