| Would doing flexibility routines during rest days of bodyweight training be okay Posted: 23 Dec 2020 02:35 AM PST I am about to start r/Bodyweightfitness's Recommended Routine (3x a week, every other day) + some basic skill work (like handstands, L-sits) and was thinking of doing r/Flexibility's Starting to Stretch routine + the toe-touching and splits routines during the rest days (3-4x a week, every other day). Is it okay or will it be too much? I'm a beginner but a naturally very flexible, lean and fit person, just trying to improve my flexibility even further and develop enough strength to get into calisthenics. I am also interested in r/griptraining's beginner routine as well, but felt like this was already too much to consider that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 10:23 AM PST I have recently been nominated to attend a service academy, which pretty much means that I have a few months to get really good at push ups. They are by far my weakest workout (I am a very fast runner), so I was hoping some of you guys could offer some advice! Any workouts, general advice, or techniques I can use to max out these push ups! Background: here is a semi-annual fitness test at the school that includes a push up section, wherein the minimum (for guys) is 35, while the max is 60. However, the push ups are on a pretty slow cadence, and your chest has to touch a fist on the ground, which makes it much harder. [link] [comments] |
| Fitness achievement this year and future plans Posted: 23 Dec 2020 06:59 AM PST 2020 is nearing its end. However bad this year may have been, people have still tried to perform their best. Being locked down in their homes, many people changed their gym routines into purely bodyweight routines. Some liked it and decided never to go back to their old style while some didn't like it so much. Hardly 8 days are left to a new year. Let us share our experiences in regards to getting fit within the confines of our homes this year and maybe our future plans and realisations. Let us create examples for motivating newcomers through healthy conversations. As for me, I started with the minimalist routine and then moved onto the Move routine. Currently in Phase 2. Not much development physique wise. I slowed down in the middle because of some issues. Now I vow to return back with full fledge. Let us share our story. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 07:45 AM PST I have been researching proper methods of breathing for 1) Push-ups, 2) Inverted Rows, 3) Pull Ups, and 4) Squats, and I've been seeing mixed answers. Some are telling me that a good rule of thumb is to breathe in during the easiest part of the excercise, and then breathe out during the difficult portion (breathing out as I pull up/breathing in during the hang). Others have been telling me to breathe naturally, i.e. how it is most comfortable. Is there any optimal method of breathing for the four excercises I mentioned above? Or should I continue to, breathe normally (e.g. I normally breathe in as I pull up during rows/pull ups, and then exhale on the way down)? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone ever come by after a torn labrum from hip impingement? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:11 AM PST I only do calisthenics besides barbell squats and deadlifts. Got cocky and started squatting 3x a week. Got pain and pushed passed it. Been trying to gain enough strength for full pistol squats. Now I have a torn labrum in my hip according to my ortho. He basically says I can do pt or surgery. It's up to me. Has anyone ever had this and what way did you go. How was your experience. Probably leaning more towards surgery at this point to gain back full range of motion [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 07:59 AM PST I don't have a lot of workout clothes and don't have the budget to invest in it. So I was wondering whether I should start wearing rash guards while working out. I've seen guys wear rash guards but I don't know if I should... [link] [comments] |
| Possible exercises for MMA strength w/ broken wrist Posted: 23 Dec 2020 11:54 AM PST Recently I've had an operation after dislocating and fracturing my left wrist and I'm unable to do a lot of mma training i.e. sparring which is really upsetting because I'm hoping to make a career out of mixed martial arts. I'm 16 , 17 soon and was wondering if there are any body exercises I can perform in the mean time to maintain or develop strength using other limbs and also exercises I can do to strengthen my left wrist when I can begin to use it. If anyone has advice on this I'd appreciate it a lot, thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:21 PM PST Is it more beneficial to do neutral pulls ups with added weight or pull ups with just your body weight? I'm looking in terms of "gains" I can't do as many pull ups but can do lots of neutral with added weight and have been progressing really well with them. If I just focus on neutral would I miss out on a lot of benefits? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Is this workout realistic to achieve my goals? Posted: 23 Dec 2020 10:38 AM PST Hi, for a long term goal I want to achieve: chin ups explosive push ups pistol squat hanging bar leg raises for now I was thinking to train: chin ups with elastic band elevated push ups step ups on an above the knee bench knee raises hanging on a bar (also yoga because I don't have the flexibility to squat yet) Is is realistic to do 70% of my max amount of reps every day? (so I don't get sore and can do the same workout the next day) or is there no point on repeating that much and needs variety? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 03:00 AM PST The Recommended Routine (RR) says:
Sounds simple and straightforward, right? As a beginner though, what I faced when doing the RR an year ago was that, even after doing 3x5 of a progression with good form, there were many times I was not yet able to do 3x6 in the subsequent session. Then, what am I supposed to do? Do I regress and do 3x5 every session until I can suddenly do 3x6? Do I try to do 3x6 but end up doing 6, 5, 5 reps? It wasn't clear how to tackle this as a beginner. There are several ways to progress including but not limited to Linear Rep (as in the RR), Set Addition, Rep Addition, and etc (from Overcoming Gravity 2). However, instead of talking about "how to progress", I want to talk about "how to know when to progress" as a beginner doing RR. What I suggest you to try out is AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) sets. This is denoted as 3x5+ instead of 3x5. From /r/fitness, AMRAP set is described as:
AMRAP sets have several benefits such as auto-regulation that is personalized specifically for you (a program that is personalized to you is almost always better than generalized routine). Putting that aside, the biggest benefit of doing AMRAP sets as a beginner is that it tells you whether you are ready to progress in your subsequent session! For example, if you do fixed number of reps of 3x5, you don't have an objective measurement that determines whether you are ready to progress in your subsequent session or not. You may have subjective feeling about it, but as a beginner, that's often not there or wrong many of the times. You may succeed in doing 3x6 in your next session, or you may end up doing 6, 5, 5 with good form or 6, 6,6 with poor form. However, if you incorporate AMRAP sets of 3x5+, and you end up doing 5, 5, 6 reps (or 7 or even more), you are pretty likely be ready for 3x6+ in your subsequent session. If you tried doing 3x5+ but you still ended up 3x5, it's pretty likely that you are not ready to do 3x6+ in your next session, in which case you'd do 3x5+ again. In your next 3x5+ session though, you will likely be able to do 5, 5, 6 (or more) which then tells you that you are ready to progress in the subsequent session. To sum up, if you are a beginner doing the RR, try incorporating AMRAP sets. You will have a much objective way to determine whether you are ready progress in your next session or not.

| Popping in my shoulder when preforming a pull up and general shoulder movements like a OH press Posted: 22 Dec 2020 07:49 PM PST Can anyone help with this. is it a form, posture, mobility problem ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Dec 2020 01:17 AM PST I am a passionate gym goer, and I always included body weight movements. I used to progress by adding small plates, or a weight belt. Now I train at home, no weights. If I can do e.g. 12 10 8 8 pull-ups, stopping 1/2 from max as recommended by Mike Israetel and many other fitness and gym experts, how do I progress? I can't do 13, as that is closer to my max. However, I cannot progress if not by adding volume. Furthermore, if 12 10 8 8 is close to my max, I am unlikely to be able to do more anyway. How do I progress? Should I do less and increment? I feel like I'm not going at it hard enough if I do... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 10:19 PM PST yo its unusual for me but ive got red purple stretch marks on my upper pec shoulder to my bicep area but its only on my left side and not my right and then ive got the exact same thing on my right lat but not me left one. why is it only on one side but not the other one? btw i dont have any muscular imbalances or anything like that [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 01:34 PM PST Howdy yall. So ive recently worked up to a 13 second HeSPU eccentric when the recommended routine says to work up to a 5-10 second eccentric, yet i cant even budge when trying to push up from the bottom. Is there anything i could be doing wrong or other supplementary work i could do? Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| BBR and Limitless legs by Fitness FAQs Posted: 22 Dec 2020 07:18 PM PST Is there anyone following these training programs? I'm reading BBR and Daniel says : "The gymnastic rings are the ultimate tool for building upper body strength and muscle due to the endless array of exercises which can be progressed for years to come. Using bodyweight exercises for lower body development is inadequate, unless the individual is a complete beginner. Constructing a training program for the lower body with unloaded exercises and making false promises in regard to their ef f i cacy is immoral. This is the reason why the BBR training series prescribes only upper body training. The time and energy devoted to lower body training is better utilised with conventional weight training which provides the necessary stimulus the lower body thrives, no dogma, just preaching what works." And then he releases "Limitless legs" in a few years, where he teaches us how to have big legs with bodyweight training, high volume, intensity and high rep range. WHAT THE HELL???
