| what are the best core and leg exercises? Posted: 05 Dec 2020 03:29 AM PST i've mostly been doing planks,different variations of pushups and pull-ups.no leg exercises.are these good enough or do i need to do different exercises to strengthen my core? [link] [comments] |
| Ring Push up Variations/ Progressions Posted: 05 Dec 2020 07:09 AM PST I have just come across a very helpful videos by Jakub Kowalski with basically all the ring push up variations and progressions. This is the link https://youtu.be/_zRvF_M2LYQ I think it could be particularly useful also to add it to the RR links, when I tried to figure out all the different kinds of ring push up I had to switch to different videos, this is much more practical and Jakub is top athlete, so very good executions.

| Posted: 04 Dec 2020 11:24 PM PST Hi, im looking into buying a calisthenics program but i dont know which one to choose between thenx and fit! ( fit is advertising a program to learn skills (https://www.joinfitapp.com/project-calisthenics/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIorb55OWy7QIVyeeyCh2-MwCZEAAYASAAEgJWzvD_BwE)). Does anyone have experience with either and were you happy? [link] [comments] |
| Handstand - Back Strengthening with Deadlift Posted: 05 Dec 2020 03:46 AM PST Just sharing. I have been getting slowly better at handstands, still need a wall to stop falling backwards, but probably not for much longer. Separately, I added deadlifts to my training. Only about 30kg. Concentrating on perfect form, ie back straight, shoulders square, lats engaged. Nothing unusual... ...except that the very next time I did a handstand, it was startlingly easier, and felt much stronger. Makes sense, I guess. In lots of exercises, some particular muscles need to be strong, but the exercise itself doesn't build the strength. For handstands, your back needs to be strong, and deadlifts seemed to immediately provide the necessary activation, engagement and strengthening. One week later, ie 4 handstand sessions in the morning, 4 deadlift sessions in the evening (all in the backyard), the progress is noticeable every time. [link] [comments] |
| 10 pull ups finally! am i ready to add weight? Posted: 05 Dec 2020 12:53 PM PST I finally did 10 pull ups in a row after months of plateaus i can also do 13 chin ups in a row now. I am very happy with my progress so far and calisthencis has changed my life. Do you think im ready to add weight? Here's a video of my form https://youtu.be/5w-Lu0-IZkM [link] [comments] |
| Calisthenics motivation? Please post your success stories no matter how small. Posted: 04 Dec 2020 05:27 PM PST Feeling pretty frustrated and would love to hear those stories like "From 0 pushups to Front Lever/V-sits/etc." I've never really had much problems with pushups/pullups/etc. fitness in general but now progressing through these more advance skills seem like such a steep hill similar to that of learning the piano.

| How long in a week do you spend on fitness related exercise? Posted: 05 Dec 2020 11:00 AM PST I am meaning all of your physical workouts. I spend about 10hrs fairly consistently between BWF, cycling, Pilates, mobility and weights mostly. [link] [comments] |
| How does training Calisthenics/BW differ from other training for you mentally? Posted: 05 Dec 2020 01:02 PM PST I'm curious to hear peoples answers - I love powerlifting, and any kind of hectic chaotic hitt workout, sport climbing, pole dancing, yoga, but when it comes to bodyweight/calisthenics especially i found it monotonously boring so: I'm curious to know if people have a really different headframe if you like it and its all you do, if you find its very different discipline from one thing compared to other types of training or if you like it and can't tell it any different from practicing other stuff. Do you drill it out merticulously, do you add it in all the time to your day like you're playing so you don't notice the repetativeness, do you study it like religon because its so satisfying to you? [To be clear I mean more when you're training something like handsit or planche where, you are strong already but really to get better you just need to do it over and over to get better. Compared to i.e bench press where, you can bench to improve but doing dumbells/high rep/low rep/push up/dips are all options that will improve that same goal] [link] [comments] |
| Etiquette question: Is it okay to use a Bluetooth speaker when working out outdoors? Posted: 05 Dec 2020 01:01 PM PST Do y'all ever play music out loud when you're working out? Is it socially acceptable to play your music out loud at the park? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2020 12:03 PM PST Has anyone attained a good amount of strength and muscle mass going into high rep range? Or should I progress by adding a weight vest? Obviously adding weight wouldn't hurt. But I am just curious. Now i can for example do 12 chinups with a goal of 20. Lets say I hit that goal should I add a weight vest or try to hit 25? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2020 12:03 PM PST Hey people..is it okay if i do a 30 min full body workout every day? I workout 4 times a week but i really want to exercise daily..because its fun..i dont want to do splits becuase i love doing full body workouts. Shall i stick to 4 days or i can do 7 days without problem? Its medium intensity workout. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2020 11:48 AM PST Should I buy a 15kg barbell (short) or a trap bar for apartment living? Also, what exercises should I use? Should I buy a 15kg barbell (short) or a trap bar for apartment living? Also, what exercises should I use? First, I'm training for general strength to transfer into my athletics. I don't care to do barbell deadlifts and have huge numbers. I just need enough strength to help with my hobbies, daily life and athletics, so 300 to 400 lb trap bar deadlifts and front or zercher squats would be perfect for me to maintain, especially if that's the most that weight i can lift without causing issues in my apartment and for my neighbors. Now, I'm moving into a room - if I'm lucky I'll have an apartment to myself. I'll lack space and am concerned about damaging the floor, as well as the ceiling for my neighbors if I deadlift. This situation has led me to consider finding the best alternative to trap bar deadlift; so I ask: what's the best sub? I also planned on doing either the front squat or zercher. I figure that deadlifts, RDL and front or zercher squats would be all that I need for my needs. I was considering an open end trap bar that'll allow me to zercher it, or front rack it for squats. I also figure the trap bar would be best to have a controlled eccentric that'll allow me to place my reps of deadlifts down without damaging my floors, ceilings of my neighbors and cause any discomfort to my neighbors and roommates, especially at, or between 300 to 400 lbs (max). I use body weight leverage and weighted pull ups for my upper body strength. I plan to move from dips onto pseudo planche push-ups and Handstand push-ups as my main pushing strength exercises, unless I'm able to safely do trap bar OHP - and even then I might stick to body weight for upper body. So, what do you guys recommend? Should I get barbell or trap bar? Or, should I get Barbell AND trap bar? If not, should I just get an open trap bar which will be able to do basically everything I need and can do with a barbell? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 05 Dec 2020 12:05 PM PST the instability of rings hamper force production. your body senses the instability and you can never exert the same amount of force on ring dips or ring pushups as you could doing weighted variations of the same movement on bars. also, when you want to push movements to failure, rings are not the best option because of the instability, form breakdown can easily put your shoulder in a bad position. ask anyone who got proficient at RTO dips or tried to get there and got injured. many, many people have injured themselves doing ring work. ring work is not the answer for most people that want to get in shape and look good. rings for pulling movements are probably ideal for most people and even then, if you want your physique to look good, you're better off just adding weight to your ring pull ups and rows once you reach a certain level of strength with bodyweight rather than trying to progress to advanced variations or one armed pull ups [link] [comments] |
| RR Help. My work schedule is 3 days on, 3 off, 12hr shifts + long commutes Posted: 04 Dec 2020 10:10 PM PST How can I adapt a routine around this? My workdays are complete 16hr write-offs (wake up, 1hr to prep, drive 1hr, work 12hrs, drive 1hr, unwind/clean up 1hr, sleep 8hrs, repeat). My circumstances suck hard, but there's no progress to be made about it yet, (and I've been relentless in trying to get a transfer for a year already). Before I had to move 4 cities away a year ago, I could hit the gym (pre-COVID) 4-5 days a week doing mainly upper and lower body days. I made mad gains quickly even though I have a strong metabolism. But now...I don't know how to structure a routine when there's supposed to be a day off between each workout. If I work out only 2 days a week (during off day 1 and 3), I know it won't be habit-forming for me, and I'm afraid I'll just get slow gains and a quick plateau into maintenance mode. Before this unsatisfying thought discourages me, are there any ideas for what I can do? Any/all help would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Exercises to strengthen back for working over low counters? Posted: 04 Dec 2020 02:42 PM PST Hey there! I have been doing the RR routine on and off for a long time but i just started a job at a bakery. I'm a tall guy and the counters are a bit low, my lower back is fine for now but my upper back between my shoulder blades seems to give out (no pain, just exhausted) after working with the dough and glaze pretty quick. Any exercise suggestions to build endurance and strength for these 8 hour shifts over the counter? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2020 04:05 PM PST It feels like my abs are moving under my skin, happens with any directed ab exercise [link] [comments] |
| Basic PPL Template I Made for Anyone to Use Posted: 04 Dec 2020 03:21 PM PST Here it is. I know it's not perfect but it gets the job done for me personally. I do calisthenics for bodybuilding and hypertrophy purposes so you won't find any skill work in here. edit: I should probably clarify what a side plank pulse is. it's just a side plank but you're constantly touching your hip to the ground and back up to work the obliques [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2020 10:26 PM PST Hi, so I recently came across something called the stomach vacuum. I've followed the directions and tried but each time I do, I don't have that "sunken" look to my midsection. It just looks like I'm sucking in really hard. Like my ribs don't protrude as the pictures and videos show. I'm not sure how to attach pictures but if anyone has tried this method and knows what it is, I would appreciate feedback. https://youtu.be/N9msEniBkbU So this link is titled under a girl doing the stomach vacuum. At around the 1 minute mark, she's starts doing it standing up. I'm sharing this because the way hers looks is exactly how mine looks (ribs not protruding, looks like sucking in, etc). Is it still right? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:42 PM PST Hey guys. Recently whenever I do pull ups. I can't feel them on my back. But whenever I do Horizontal rows I feel my back traps and biceps really good. Are rows better then pull ups? [link] [comments] |
