| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:38 AM PST I started with 92 kilograms and almost zero sports in my life at the beginning of the year. Last year I had an ankle injury (I played squash on a weekly basis before) and gained about 5 kilos during my recovery. During this year I completely changed my diet and lost about 40 lbs (18 kg), my current weight is 74kg. Also I was introduced in sportsclimbing by a group of friends which is now my favorite sports, unfortunately the last time in climbing gym was mid of november due to current covid19 shutdowns in my country. Therefore I bought a pull up bar and rings for my training and started already in October with the Recommended Routine. I seem to improve in almost all aspects, of course I feel it's easier because I still lost some weight during the last weeks. I started with arch hangs (I wasn't able to perform a single pull up ever until very recently), currently I perform 2-3 pull ups in a row! followed by 4-5 negatives for each set, i went from squats to bulgarian split squats, and from almost vertical rows to horizontal rows. However I feel like my push ups are becoming worse every session and I do not understand why. Although I believe my form improved by a lot,but I am currently unable to do more than about 7 push ups when I am rested. And this number is lower than when I came back to sports. One of the first things I started with in april was a 30 days 30 pushup challenge, I just did 3 sets of 10 every day. When I do the RR I aim to do 7-8 in total, and sometines during one set I can only do 2 at a time and need very short rests in between.. To help myself with this weakness I tried planking in the ‚mid position' of push ups where I believe my failure comes from, but I only started with that and haven't seen any improvements yet. Do you have any tips to improve? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 06:41 AM PST I have been trying scapular pulls but i don't understand how they're even possible... i cant get my body to go upward like that. i just don't have the strength at all and i feel totally winded after attempting to get it. Wtf is wrong with me? I can do regular push ups fine. can do 20 max. but pull ups i do terrible with. any advice? [link] [comments] |
| Does smoking kill gains too much? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 08:31 AM PST I have been workin out like crazy and have been seeing good results but i have seen that smoking can kill testosterone cells. I dont smoke that much like 3 cigerattes a day will it affect my gains too much? Edit: since every one is clowing me (which i totally deserve )a month ago i used to smoke 10 a day im down to 3 at first i didnt want to quit but readin the mixed responses i will quit . I just wanted to know that if it affects me too much or nah . Thanks who knows how long i would have kept smoking if i was given the wrong info [link] [comments] |
| Good Shoulder Exercises for beginners/intermediates? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 07:47 AM PST Hello, I've been training for about 9 months now with my own bodyweight but I can't really seem to progress with any Shoulder exercises for strenght and mass. I'm curreny trying to learn the handstand and want to progress into the handstand pushup but my shoulders are way too weak for that. Any good examples for shoulder exercises? Thanks.

| Dizzy/lightheaded after tough set normal? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:23 AM PST So I haven't worked out in a long time and I tried doing some push ups and pull ups. These in particular made me lightheaded after completing the reps for a few seconds and my heart rate goes up along with it. It doesn't happen when I do less intense exercises like squats or lunge for example. Only with the ones that I have a tough time with I also have generalized anxiety so I don't know if that at all contributes to it [link] [comments] |
| I’m 5’8, 200lbs (90kg), Male, and yet people say I look skinny. Posted: 21 Dec 2020 10:50 AM PST My weight over the past year and subsequently quarantine led to me gradually gaining weight, from 155 lbs (70kg) and slowly increasing overtime. Yet, I ask other people about my physique, and they say I look skinny. Does anyone have any clue what the hell's going on with my body? [link] [comments] |
| Most effective exercises for the neck muscles? Posted: 20 Dec 2020 10:46 PM PST Looking to strengthen my neck muscles for boxing. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] |
| Journey to First Pullup: Abs Killing from Negatives Posted: 21 Dec 2020 10:00 AM PST I've recently got a pullup bar and am working towards my first pullup. I can hang reasonably welly for 20-30 seconds with my scapular engaged. Also been working on horizontal rows using rings. Now I have the bar i've started doing negatives. The first 1 or 2 are reasonably good and slow. By the time I get to 5-6 i'm dropping a lot quicker! The thing is they seem to be really hitting my abs. I did 2 sets earlier and my abs are still humming a couple of hours earlier. What other ab exercises should I be doing to work on the weakness? [link] [comments] |
| Resistance Bands are really wierd to train with Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:55 AM PST Hey, My GF got me resistance bands for christmas (She gave it to me a few weeks early :) ), but they feel really wierd to train with. I thought they would be perfect for me right now, since all bodyweight excersises go up to 30-40 reps in a set and i though maybe i can up the resistance on pushups and whatnot to go back down to less reps. Thing is, the band is really unhandy. Doing rows with it is sorta ok. I dont get full range of motion, but a decent chunk of it. The problem is chest. I cant find a single excersise that hits Pecs hard using a resistance band. Doing flys with the band on the back is too little, while pushups are really wonky cause the band moves around a lot pulling on my skin and the direction of the resistance is really wierd and throws me off a ton. I tried incorporating dumbell and band chest "bench" press, but theres no way to handle both the band and the 'bells. Cant figure out how to maybe train abs with that. Do you guys use bands in your home workouts? Those who do, please share your Chest and Back excersises in detail. Im finna copycat ;) [link] [comments] |
| Can I do dips and push ups on separate days? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:00 AM PST I'm pretty new to body weight fitness so forgive me if this seems like an obvious answer, but I've been doing weighted dips so I was wondering would I be able to do weighted push ups on the days I'm feeling sore from dips or should I just rest altogether and do maybe legs? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 06:05 PM PST Hi all, As I was feeling a little run down this week, I decided to try shortening all reps for my sets (pull ups, dips etc) and just concentrate on doing really SLOW clean form. As it turns out, this is challenging in itself. Now I'm wondering, if you are keeping your muscles under tension longer by doing slow reps(but less reps within a set) could this have the same strength/hypertrophy outcomes as similar numbers of sets with more reps performed at faster speed? (I'm guessing probably not as you lose the ability to do more powerful movements) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 10:27 AM PST I am very confused by my "strength to endurance ratio". I can pull +50% of my bodyweight for one clean pull-up rep, yet I am unable to do more than 13 pull-ups in a single set. I can also do 3x8 pull ups with +15kg added, but still can't do more than 13 bodyweight reps. Same goes for push-ups. I can dip +65% of my bodyweight, yet I am unable to do more than 20 push-ups in a set. Should I continue with my normal workouts (FL & HSPU) or should I start GtG with pull-ups and push ups? M17/190cm/71kg Thank you, SJ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 10:19 AM PST I started the RR a bit more than 2 months ago, so I know I have a long way to go. But something doesn't feel right with doing pushups and dips in the same workout. Since they work mainly the same muscle groups, I feel exhausted after one and perform poorly on the other depending on the order I went with this day. I cannot move to higher progressions even though I would do them relatively easily outsite the workout. Am I not supposed to complete sets close to failure? Or should I rest longer between exercises? I do not feel the same at all for pushups & rows so my push might be too weak or I simply lack endurance. Oh well... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 01:43 PM PST What are your favorite skilled hobbies to do that incorporate movement? Such as juggling, dancing, or slacklining. I'm inspired by this post (https://antranik.org/no-gym/) by Antranik which advises we pick up a skillful hobby. I'm trying to find new things to progress in during quarantine :) Hope we can all inspire each other! [link] [comments] |
| When doing weighted calisthenics how do you calculate intensity % ? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 12:23 PM PST When calculating your 1rm and intensity % of your 1rm do you do that off the weight you are lifting or your bodyweight and weight being lifted. For example if you are do 40kg pull up for one with a bw of 90kg. 90% would be 36kg and 80% would be 32kg and where around you would be doing 5x5 but that seems high but if you do it off bw as well you get 90% would be 117kg or lifting 27kg instead of 36 for 90% . As you can see there is a huge difference but which is right ?? [link] [comments] |
| How do I know How many reps I have left? Posted: 21 Dec 2020 12:02 PM PST It says leave a few reps in the tank for the RR how do I found out when I'm getting close to failure? Because I know if I go to failure it detracts from the rest of the sets. Another question is can I move on to the next exercise once I get 10 reps to get more hypertrophy? Or should I change something else because my main goal is building muscle. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:31 AM PST For the past years or so I've been tryna find a way a for me to get stronger and more flexible and have good cardio. But In the process I do not want to build muscle I'm not really into bulking type look. I want to be tone and have some muscle and definition. While improving my cardio, flexibility, strength, and also having muscle definition. Is there a routine you guys could give me if possible. I'm 18yo make my height is 5'7 and the last time I checked I think I weight about 145-150. I also don't know anything about dieting and calories maintenance and I don't own a scale only thing I own is a jump rope just a side note. [link] [comments] |
| Just found out something interesting while doing dips Posted: 21 Dec 2020 11:22 AM PST I swear to God I've always felt like it was easier to do them with extra weight than without. Just today, while recording myself doing them both ways I found out why. Apparently I have a habit of excessively shifting my torso back and forth while doing the basic exercise. However, if I attach weight to myself it seems to force to keep my waist in place. Found this interesting, thought I could share. [link] [comments] |
| I don't understand why I can't do even one full pull up Posted: 21 Dec 2020 10:13 AM PST Hey Guys, I feel like I'm a relatively fit guy. I can do 20 diamond pushups, 9 ring rows, 8 dips and hold a plank for 2 minutes all in sets of 3. I do more then this but I feel like these exercises are realtive to pull ups. I am aware that none of this is uber impressive but what I don't seem to understand is if I'm able to do that stuff should I not be able to do one...ONE full pull up? I can get my forehead to the bar, but my chin just doesn't want to get there. Is there a certain muscle that I'm lacking or is there a technique that I can't seem to grasp. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 12:07 PM PST Not to mention there is a vegan strongman society and they are stacked and look wayyyy healthier and naturally insane. Vegan strongman competition!? Duudevegan strongman gains [link] [comments] |
| I need a little help: does anyone know a single leg exercise that ia not a pistol squat Posted: 20 Dec 2020 04:43 PM PST I am able to make 3 sets of 30 deep squats, holding about 10 sec after every set. I am feeling that this is not enough for some muscles in my leg, and I wanted to progress. I tried pistol squats and where not sucessfull. I also tried the progressions to pistol squat, but didn't see much improvement. Besides squats, I run,jump rope with wheighted ropes, I make lounges and wall holds as leg exercises. Im 28 and wheight about 90 kilos. [link] [comments] |
