| Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:04 PM PST Hi all, I love building spreadsheets and build quite a few for people I know, out of enjoyment. I know there are apps etc for RR but have built a spreadsheet with some generic versions similar to RR for different schedules. Feel free to use and/or provide feedback! Also happy to build individual programs if asked nicely ! These programs are very Hypertrophy focused and are relatively well designed around what we know works with Hypertrophy. They are automated and autoregulate; the guide should explain it all. Enjoy! Bodyweight Fitness Templates by Samuel Harris EDIT: Spelling EDIT: I just want to thank everyone for the words and the awards!!! I never knew people would enjoy my sheets so much - so in that fashion I have put together one specific to the RR for those of you who are new or just love the RR: Bodyweight Fitness Templates - Reddit BWF RR If you have any other suggestions, feedback, requests for different templates, let me know!!!!

| any apps for gymnastic ring workouts? Posted: 09 Dec 2020 12:33 PM PST I used to use BodBot but they dont have exercises with gymnastic rings. any good ones you guys use? cheers :) [link] [comments] |
| What dip stand do people use when they do things like front levers? Posted: 09 Dec 2020 01:08 PM PST You know the clips of people hitting touch front levers or just practicing them on one dip bar. Can someone point me toward the brand/name of those? [link] [comments] |
| Monkeying with the RR to keep my bench numbers Posted: 09 Dec 2020 12:31 PM PST Heyya, folks. I've been doing stronglifts 5x5 for some time and it's gotten to a point where I wanna shake things up a bit. I've acquired an interest in calisthenics and wanna focus on learning stuff like the planche, handstand pushups, levers, the human flag and so on over the next year (no clue if they are all achievable within the year, but these are the things I want to pursue). I do, however, wish to keep my numbers from the end of this year on the powerlifting big three. I have read and heard that if I lift heavy once a week it should suffice to maintain my strength on these lifts. Squat and deadlift I'm keeping as my legs and hinge movements anyway because I like them better than bodyweight alternatives. My question is whether doing heavy bench press in the middle of the week and push up variations on the ends is going to hamper my progress significantly on my calisthenics goals when contrasted to going all in on the pushup variations.Has anyone here done this? What were the results? By the end of the year my numbers should be (for 5x5 sets and reps): 80 kg on bench, 70 on pendlay rows, 120 on deadlift, 70 on squat (had to rehab a busted knee), and 52 on OHP. [link] [comments] |
| Question regarding grip strength and pull ups Posted: 09 Dec 2020 05:52 AM PST For most of my fitness journey, I've done pull ups at home with one of those pull ups bars you put on your door frame and can do about 9-10 pull ups. However, I've started working out outside at a park with a pull up bar, and I've noticed I can do less pull ups on there than at my home, maybe 6-7. Also, while doing pull ups at home I feel my lats way more and overall the pull ups feel way better, while at the park I feel my forearms more and barely feel my lats. At first I thought it could be the bar at the park being thicker than the one I have at home, but I tried a narrower bar at the park and I had the same result. The only difference I can think of is the material of the bar. While the bar at my house is covered by a rubber material, the ones at the park are made out of metal and sometimes are wet. In general, gripping to the bar at my home feels way easier than to the bar at the park. I was wondering, does grip strength really affect pull ups that much, and could it be the reason why I can do less pull ups at the park? Also, any good ways of increasing grip strenght? I've been using a hand grip, but it hasn't really improve my grip strength at the bar. Only exercise I can think of is dead hangs from the bar. [link] [comments] |
| Best materials for DIY pulley system for pulley assisted one arm chinups Posted: 09 Dec 2020 11:15 AM PST I've experimented with pulley systems (essentially a rope going over a bar with a weight attached to it) in the past and found that the effectiveness of the pulley depends on the friction between the "rope" of the pulley and the bar. For instance, I used a vinyl-coated bicycle lock to hang weights over a bar - at low weights, the friction between the vinyl and the grip of the pullup bar made the resistance from the pulley very jerky and made pulley assisted one arm chinups quite ineffective/inaccurate, since the assistance provided to my non-pulling hand kept varying as a result of it. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and knows what sort of materials work best for a pulley system to make it as frictionless and efficient as possible? [link] [comments] |
| what if I can't physically achieve a solid perfect form in excercises? Posted: 09 Dec 2020 02:48 AM PST I have a not very normally shaped body; I mean stuff like scoliosis,winged scapula and my legs are bent outwards. I know, it's a mess,but I was born with all this and I have always struggled with all this stuff,but with time I can definitely see things are starting to look better. However,it is still practically impossible for me to achieve a perfect "normal" form and can only do what feels correct to me,which makes it incredibly hard to tell wether I'm doing something right or wrong. Sometimes I think I should just stop working out but that'd make me feel so sad because I enjoy it so much,just wanted to know what you guys think I should do [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Dec 2020 01:57 PM PST Someone posted earlier about the false grip which brings a question to mind. How much of a difference do you feel when you use the false grip vs the regular overhand. What do you find to be the pros and cons of each grip? [link] [comments] |

| Why is there less advice in regard to aerobic fitness on here? Posted: 08 Dec 2020 03:53 PM PST Unless you're training for gymnastics, I'm not quite sure whether the whole project is worthwhile. I mean if aesthetics is your thing then ok. (But I'd argue that lifting actual weights would be superior in that regard) Aerobic exercise (Rowing, swimming, yoga, running/jogging) lbs for lbs seems to provide many more benefits for the body & the mind. So, what do you get out of BWF? Why I run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1hoOwbfgME Thanks, [link] [comments] |
