| I made a foot holder so I can start working on Nordic curls - DIY album for any who are interested Posted: 02 Dec 2020 02:05 PM PST Hello BWF community. I've been wanting to start working on Nordic curls for a while now, but don't typically have someone available to hold my feet. I decided to build a small fixture to install in my basement to hold my feet, and am pretty happy with how it turned out. You can see the final product and the build process in this album: https://imgur.com/gallery/aP8SklQ [link] [comments] |
| A High Intensity Low Frequency Approach to Bodyweight Training Posted: 01 Dec 2020 08:10 PM PST TL;DR: Training super intensely once per week is enough to make significant strength and muscle gains.
I wrote a summary on this approach to bodyweight strength training for some of my friends but I think others would appreciate and learn from it as well. ----------------------- Hi all, Over the last couple of years, I've talked to many people about my high-intensity, low-frequency (HILF) approach to strength training. I've had really good results with it, both in terms of strength and hypertrophy, training now just once per week. Quite a few have expressed interest in trying it. Aside from walking them through the approach one at a time, I've had no consolidated reference I could point them to, given the disparate sources I've synthesized the methodology from. Hence, I finally wrote this summary. I wrote it primarily for friends, but I think it could be broadly useful to the Bodyweight Fitness Community. Read the guide over and please ask any questions. I'm still working to actively improve and clarify the guide to make it more useful, so any feedback is appreciated. EDIT: Thank you for all the feedback/comments/questions. This has been a better reception that I could ever have envisioned! I'll do my best to get back to everyone after work. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:01 PM PST What should I do? I had blood work that came back ok besides a little bit low on iron a few months ago but fixed that. I feel aweful I can't work out anymore. This feeling won't go away and it's making me want to cry. [link] [comments] |
| Need pull exercises that don’t require equipment Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:55 PM PST So far I have- Push day : Pike push-ups 10x2 Incline push ups 10x3 Pseudo planche push-ups 5x2 Dips 15x6 Pull day : Comandos 2x10 Legs : Squats Jump 3x15 squats Lunges 3x15 Running from 1-3 miles a day [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:15 PM PST I know this is one of the FAQ but it didn't really tell me everything I wanted to know so I thought I'd ask. I'm a 6'3" male 140lbs and I just started. Currently I'm doing 3x15 squats, 3x15 inverted rows, 3x15 pushups (pushup progression because I'm weak), and 3x 1 minute planks. I do the whole routine every other day. Is this ok for a beginner (in terms of covering most muscle groups) and should I add anything like pullup negatives? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Run Today or Tomorrow - Just Starting Posted: 02 Dec 2020 09:21 AM PST TLDR is it worth running when your legs are sore or is putting it off for a day worth it? Hey everyone, I'm just getting into fitness and I'm looking for a little advice. I started going to the gym about 3 weeks ago to do weight lifting. But I noticed that my heart rate was getting pretty high so I added in jogging on off days as a way to help. What I'm doing is jogging for 20 to 30 yards until my breathing breaks, then I'm walking until I get my heart rate down to around 120 or 130 and jogging again. My first day I did 1.6 MI and my thighs hated me. It took me four days before I was able to jog again, but I rocked out 3 miles. I really want to jog every 3 days and today is day 3. My goal is 5 miles this time. The problem is I went really hard on deadlifts last night and my thighs are once again very sore. Sorry for the long story. My question is should I go jogging today or tomorrow? I feel like if I go today I might not get my five mile goal, but I'll be in my 3 day routine that I'm trying to set. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:29 PM PST I'm kind of desperate. I'm pretty sure I have some shoulder mobility issues and I'm trying to open them up to make my ROM better on movements like pushups. I've checked some stuff out but I havent found something that reliably works for me, I think most of the stuff I'm trying is too advanced for me and wonth stretch what I need to lenghten. I feel stuck. Did anyone go through this? What worked for you guys? How much time does it take? I feel like I'm not able to progress on the issue. [link] [comments] |
| Best thermal clothing option for outdoor exercise? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 06:49 AM PST It's getting colder than a witcher's tit here in the UK and I've got a workout setup in my garage at the moment. Problem is it's cold as fuck and I've been looking for a thermal layer to wear when I'm working out. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Is it just me or is searching "handstand" on youtube weird? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 05:00 PM PST Anytime I try to search for a video on youtube using the word "handstand" no suggestions come up. It seems to only recognize "hand standing". Not too difficult to get around but it still kind of grinds my gears. [link] [comments] |
| Getting into body weight fitness. My pull-up game is laughable. Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:44 PM PST I've taken a hiatus from training for a few years, and it seems my pull-up game is sad at best. I way about 180lbs and can't get through two strict pull-ups. What exercises would you recommend to improve pull-ups? [link] [comments] |
| Found a workout log but it's too large of paper size. Help? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 04:20 PM PST Hello BWF! I'm looking to get started, have been thinking about starting for a while now and am getting all my ducks in a row. I've got a pull up bar in the mail, trying to figure out parallel bars (build or buy?) and in short am trying to have everything I need to get started. While I do feel a bit overwhelmed because I'm the kind of person who wants to "do it right" and I'm not exactly sure how best to start, I figure the best thing to do is just get going and figure it out as I go along. One of the things I'm doing is keeping a log, and somebody on here made an awesome version of the workout log for the RR but fit three days onto one page. I really liked that, but it's formatted for a larger paper size, and when I went to print it I couldn't convert it to standard US printer paper size. Can anyone provide me a link to a standard US printer paper sized workout log that fits 3 workouts (one week's worth) onto one sheet? Or, alternatively, if you think you have a super good printable workout log (I want it on paper, not on my phone/computer) link me and maybe I'll think yours is best and use that instead. And as a final bonus, any advice for someone who is excited but intimidated to start could also be appreciated. I'm still not 100% sure how progressions work, how you know it's time to progress, how you know/keep track of what the next progression will be, etc. But, like I said, it seems like the best thing to do is just start and figure it out! Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| What are all the muscles a general pull up bar can train? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 03:59 PM PST To my knowledge biceps and triceps and some back with wide pull-ups, I'm wondering because I'm considering buying one because gyms are closed in my area and I wanna get going. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Dec 2020 09:51 AM PST Hey folks. I'm a fairly in shape 32yo woman, 5'4, 125ish pounds. I've been going to a gym that focuses on calisthenics, gymnastics, and bodyweight exercises, so in the course of any given class we're running, jumping, pressing into handstands, working on L or V sits, and when the gym itself is open (lockdown), using equipment such as monkey bars, trampolines, etc. Super fun. I started as a beginner around 5 months ago and have been going to 1hr classes 3-4 times a week and improving steadily. However! There is one exercise I CANNOT do, and that is the kneeling jump squat. I see other people jumping up and down from.kneeling and I can't even get up, even when holding onto something and it feels crazy to me? Has anyone experienced this? Any tips? Much appreciated :) [link] [comments] |
| How should I progress my leg-day? Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:15 PM PST I've been doing leg-day since the beginning of my training and lately, I've started to wonder if I can maximize my potential. Current leg-day routine Cardio: 2 Km Leg Extension: 3x8 (68 kg) Seated Leg Curl: 3x8 (68 kg) Leg Press: 3x10 (125 kg) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now I was wondering how I should improve this since I'm beginning to doubt the effectivity, and I've come to some workouts I could implement, but I'm just not sure if it's a great idea or how exactly I should change my routine. My idea(s) Current routine + Squat with weight Deadlift My issue Should I just implement these 2 workouts, or should I make them my main routine and discard my current workouts except Cardio. But on the other hand, I've also been wondering if I should implement them and maybe remove Leg Press or one of the other workouts. I can't really figure out what my best options are to make my leg-day most efficient, so I would appreciate any kind of tip, advice or help. : D (P.S. I've been thinking about adding Calf Raise as well, but my Gym as made the machine unusable for the time being because of Corona. But should I add it as well when they make it usable again?)

| How do i avoid tennis/golfers elbow when doing inverted rows on the rings? Posted: 01 Dec 2020 08:55 PM PST I've been trying to increase my pull up reps but I always seem to get tennis elbow, even with a neutral grip? What can I do to correct my movement? [link] [comments] |
| Suggestion for a 20 dollar fitness-related gift? Posted: 01 Dec 2020 05:25 PM PST I'm doing secret Santa with my friends with a 20 dollar budget. I'd like it to be fitness related if possible. Things in mind right now are: ab wheel and a mini blender for smoothies. Anything else you can suggest? [link] [comments] |
| Questions regarding the muscle up Posted: 02 Dec 2020 01:02 AM PST Hey guys, I have been progressing quite well through the RR and now, I feel like I am ready to tackle the muscle up! I do about 11 clean pull ups, and 8 ring dips (+15 lbs added) per set. Is this enough strength to start progressing the muscle up? I have been able to do explosive pull ups with relative ease for 5 or so reps as well. However, I am struggling currently with the transition into the upper dip. Do I need to build more strength or is there a technique that I should work on? I have attempting to do one without kipping... should I kip just to be able to get a feel for what a muscle up is like or would that mess up my mind-muscle connection? Any tips are appreciated.

| Posted: 01 Dec 2020 12:20 PM PST I have to buy it within a certain amount of time. If you had to buy something what would you buy? At the current moment I have a treadmill, and some kettlebells. To answer what my goals are they are: decrease body fat %, and building functional strength. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2020 08:35 PM PST Over the course of this year I've tried to stick to the RR. I have cobbled together chairs, couch, pool table, curled anything I can find....you get the idea. I've broken a chair, now almost injured myself. Not to mention I'm not maximizing some of the exercises being so limited with lack of equipment. I'm done. I think I may bite the bullet and get a power tower. Seems like a price point around $180 gets me a sturdy tower with bench. This way I can do pullups, dips, reverse hyperextension. I can also add rings and straps for the future. Eventually a weight vest. Anyone else use tower for RR? Can I safely do vertical rows either with tower alone or using the rings? Also, would love to be able to do nordic curls somehow. Maybe by using the bench? Interested in hearing your advice, tips, and tricks. [link] [comments] |
| Rope climbing with golfers elbow. Posted: 01 Dec 2020 07:46 PM PST I've had some persistent elbow irritation for the last few years. I can do rings pullups without too much trouble but when I was doing weighted pullups on the bars it bothered my elbow. Is trying out rope climbing a bad idea? Is it harder on the joints than usings rings? [link] [comments] |
| Is getting 80kg (176lbs) by next year realistic? Posted: 01 Dec 2020 12:59 PM PST Hi I'm a 17 y/o male 185cm (6ft 1) I've been doing calisthenics for a couple months now but mainly with the focus to learn the basics by the end of 2020. But next year I want to gain muscle and weight. I weigh in at 71 kg (156 lbs) right now. I would like to gain mostly muscle. I know what to eat and to be in a caloric surplus etc. What I'm wondering is if I do eat correctly, is reaching my dream weight of 80kg realistic in the next year? If not that's okay. I just don't want to be u realistic and be disappointed by my results. I've also been wondering what supplement is better for my specific type of weight gain. Gainers? Or whey protein? Or something else ? Edit: thanks for all the comments people! I love this sub and this community :D [link] [comments] |
| How often should i train to failure? Posted: 01 Dec 2020 04:42 PM PST I'm a beginner and i've been doing the RR for about one and a half months, without increasing the amount of reps or difficult of the exercises because at the end of each exercises i'm always getting exausted, so i always thought i couldn't go up, today i tried to take all sets to failure in every single one of the exercises, and i was happily suprised to know that i could do a lot more, and even go to a different progression in some of them (i.e. getting to 3x8 with that exercise). I know going all out every training is not good for recovery, so i'm thinking about doing this test every monday. What do you think? [link] [comments] |
