| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 04:34 AM PST I'm typically an active person, I play rugby and like going to the gym. Since the pandemic's been going on, I've been ok looking after myself earlier this year. Over summer, I cycled pretty much every day - roughly 27-40km - going up to the beach, spending some time there and such - lost 5kg! Then after a bout of bad weather, I got lazy and stopped cycling. Now it's winter, gym's have reclosed (again) now that the UK in Tier 4: Stay at Home lockdown. I live alone at the moment, and find it difficult to workout at home. Reasons being that it's a very, very small house (and I am 6ft2), and that I feel more motivated in the gym. I've lost some muscle mass and gained a few kilos in fat over autumn and winter 👎. With Tier 4 stunting my means to get fit again at the gym, I'm a bit deflated. Does anyone have any advice on how to get back in the right mindset and make do with what I have? Cheers 💪 [link] [comments] |
| (2 Years progress) The end of my journey with the RR Posted: 30 Dec 2020 04:20 PM PST Greetings everyone, I'm here to share my progress through the Recommended Routine and a bit of background to fully understand the journey I did. It all started on Agust, 2018 with a knee surgery, that kept me in bed for 2 months and almost 6 months doing rehab. I injured myself running, i was training (and aiming towards the Ironman) and I felt devastated because all my progress went away really quick, I went from 80kg to 70kg, and I was feeling very weak. When I was doing rehab I started to read about bodyweight trainings and ended up here, with the holy grail: The recommended routine. I was fascinated, as soon as I was able to train freely I started adjusting it for my level. At the 6 month milestone, I was already feeling strong again, not great but confidence came back. I pushed myself every time harder and harder. But then, I overloaded my hamstrings and ended up with tendonitis. Again, I had to readjust my plan and that's when I started reading "Overcoming gravity" and it gave me a new perspective. All the information i needed was there, and I made sure to learn everything I could. At the 1 year milestone, I had a few months on and off because of the injury but I was still going strong, I got my first muscle up and a few more tricks that ill list below. I was feeling it, the "calisthenic boy" my training was hard and i kept making slow but steady progress. BUT THEN, freaking corona... my park was closed and I had little equipment at home, I did everything I could to keep my level, but 6 months went, and I was kinda stuck. Until the government cool off I started again. 2 years went by, and I think I could achieve more, but sometimes reality it's disapointing. I'm happy with my progress, I'm doing it because I have several health issues and keeping my body strong is the best way to fight it. These are my final stats: Pull up progression: Archer pull ups 8x3, weighted pull up 20kg 8x3 Squat progression: Pistol squat 8x3 (took me a full year because knee mobility) Dip progression: Weighted L-dips 20kg 8x3, ring dips 8x3, HeSPU 8x3 Hinge progression: Simple legged deadlift 8x3 (yes, that bad) Row progression: Weighted inverted rows 10kg 8x3, adv. tuck front lever 30s Push up progression: Pseudo planche 8x3 hands at belly buttom Core progression: Standing ab wheel rollout 8x3, 70° V-sit And a picture of me: before https://imgur.com/1sEeN5Z after https://imgur.com/em3ZBjD Oh, I'm not done training, im going to start another type of training, that's why the title [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 10:52 AM PST I've begun working out at home very recently and I am struggling with my core training. I am extremely weak physically, and I can only pull off one set of crunches (holding each crunch for a few seconds) until I run out of steam. I only feel some soreness while I'm doing the last reps. If I try doing more, I simply fail; it's like my abs are saying "fuck you, I'm out" and then my neck starts to hurt and I feel nothing in my core. The worst part is I don't feel any soreness after doing the exercise, not even the day after. I haven't found any exercise that I can do properly in this state. Any help? [link] [comments] |
| Is the dead hang the inverse of a wall handstand ? Posted: 31 Dec 2020 06:14 AM PST Pull-ups and Dips are respectively vertical pulling and vertical pushing exercises. Rows and Push-Ups are respectively horizontal pulling and horizontal pushing exercises. Dead hang and wall handstand are respectively vertical isometric pulling and pushing exercises. My question is: Is the dead hang the inverse of a wall handstand ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 07:22 AM PST So pandemic only deepened this problem but I always had thin legs. When i started doing RR 4 years ago I totally skipped legs. For reference, I think that naturally i have a thin posture overall, but me and others could see the effects of working out on the upper part of my body. My legs are really thin, I never liked muscular legs but I don't want them to be, you know, untrained at all. As i said, during the pandemic I mostly sit at home where my legs are really thin, mostly seen on calves and my knees I guess? Anyway, I have troubles finding a good workout routine for legs so tell me what you think about this Calf raises (progression is adding additional kgs to my backpack) for calves and, maybe, squats for everything else?

| Greasing the groove while powerlifting? Posted: 31 Dec 2020 11:37 AM PST I'm a pretty avid rock climber but haven't been able to climb for 4 months due to a finger injury so I've been getting more into powerlifting. I've been focusing on more weight lifting instead of body weight training like I have in the past just to bulk for the winter and put on some size. Should I implement a greasing the groove system for pull-ups just to keep relative bodyweight strength during this period? I know I'll get it all back once I cut again but I feel like this might benefit me even more [link] [comments] |
| My (somewhat) Daily Progress Journal Posted: 31 Dec 2020 11:00 AM PST Hello Ladies and Gents, It is the new year so you know what that means :) For the past 12 years Ive had a very on and off relationship with fitness and exercise. Basically whenever my body gets too flabby for my liking I would go beast mode for a 3-4 months and then relax for a year. Mostly it would be hitting the gym (not body building, just getting things back in order). Something I always wanted to do is to have complete control over my own body in terms strength and movement; I want to handle my body weight effortlessly. This is how I stumbled upon this gem of a subreddit! The plan: 1) to commit to the RR program and stick with it until full completion and then move on to work on them sick skills / moves 2) to update this journal on a regular basis and include some of my thoughts / questions / struggles I apologise in advance if this becomes annoying and I look forward to this journey - wish me luck!

| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 04:41 AM PST Heeya folks, I have been working out with the RR for some time now, though I found out that I am never taking the 90secs rest in between. Most of the times I am just resting 30-40 seconds. If I'm doing sets in which the excersises are meant for different groups of muscles I do the two exercises directly after each other (f.i. squat and pull up) Can someone explain what is the effect of reducing your rest time while staying honest to your 3 sets and 5-8 reps? More strength/endurance, or is it bad anyway? It might be good to know that I have been running for the past 6 months, so my condition is quite well maintained. I'm training to get more strength. Thanks :-) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 08:05 AM PST Is strength training, that will carry over into weights in a few months time, possible with rings? I'm looking to maintain/build as much strength over the next few months with lockdown in my country with just rings and a bar. Any recommended routines for strength building with rings? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2020 12:36 AM PST Hey! I have a question regarding muscleups on rings. What mechanism causes the piking of hips? Sometimes I reduce my piking to close to zero, sometimes I dont, and I'm trying to understand why. My recent theory is the higher you pull the lesser piking in hips, but I'm not sure. Why pike in muscleups and how to reduce it? Thanks guys [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Dec 2020 08:15 PM PST I've been wanting to up my strength in Bodyweight legs So my goal is to be able to do a pistol squat and I have the flexibility and mobility to do it but I just don't have any strength for it and I don't have a plyo box to do elevated pistol squats so please does anyone have progressions [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Dec 2020 06:27 PM PST It's too small. I'm 6'2 and when I hang from the bar to do chinup my feets still on the ground even if i bend. Anything wrong with doing Chinups when your feet touched the ground? http://imgur.com/a/7TIXgKf [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Dec 2020 09:08 PM PST I've made past posts regarding using weights as a modality to progress in static skills, and I've attempted to ask about using high volumes as a modality for it also (usually 100 or more reps in a workout), but besides the swinging planche push-up/dip, I can't figure out a comfortable way to progress through the planche besides the standard progressions, and I find dips to be comfortable and similar enough to the form of the planche. Other methods I've heard of is using carryover strength from vertical presses (HSPU and OHP), but I don't think they're specific enough to the movement like how dips or push-ups may be, (and I assume a ~1.4xBW dip does the trick) so I'm seeing what you resourceful athletes have come up with to hack around this! If you have a number for a dip I should shoot for, or a progression method that uses variations on dips that are increasingly similar to the planche, I'm all ears. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| What kind of flooring to choose for a little studio/movement space Posted: 30 Dec 2020 01:33 PM PST Hey everyone! I've recently started to rent a small studio and I want to make it more movement/workout attractive. Because all of the studio is mainly tile, i want to cover it with some kind of flooring that makes it more enjoyable to live in but also move and workout. What would you recommend? I'm seeing some stuff of this style https://geometriktarget.com/en/sports-flooring/alpha-tiles but I'm scared it would be to hard or not feel so smooth in the body when laying down, etc. What do you think would be the best for a smooth feel, protective for the joints and that would make me want to fall there from the bed directly to start the day with some nice stretches?
