    Bodyweight Fitness: Form Check Friday for 2020-12-04


    Form Check Friday for 2020-12-04

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 10:06 PM PST

    As always, please give last week's thread a once over for any form checks that could use some feedback.


    All previous Form Check Fridays


    Without further ado, please post a video (or if you can only manage a photo for a static hold) of the move you'd like to be critiqued.

    Your video should be:

    • Oriented the correct way
    • Be formatted such that there isn't unnecessary video of you preparing for the move (keep it short)
    • Have the important bits of the movement clearly visible (multiple angles is always useful)
    • You may want to show a regression of the current exercise as well, but try to keep each video to one "set" of movements
    • Include the whole body
    • Of you

    Include in your post the following details:

    • Basic Details: (Age, Weight, Height)
    • What move you are attempting (be specific in regards to progressions
    • Indicate whether this is a max attempt (holds/reps), or specify what your current best performance is
    • Any specific questions you have about your form

    Rules for critiquing form

    • Constructive criticism only
    • You need to either be able to complete the move yourself, or have experience in training others to complete the move (no "I read an article on how to do these")
    • Feel free to point others to resources that address their form and/or questions if you aren't "qualified" to give them advice yourself

    If your form is awesome, consider posting it in the Show Off Sunday thread!

    If you dun goofed, consider posting the out-take in the Slip Up Saturday thread!

    Being able to do push ups in the correct form

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:27 AM PST

    I don't know if anyone went through the same thing. I am a F/23 yr old. My upper body strength was very weak. It took me six months to train to do push-ups from my toes in the correct form. When I started, I can't even do it from my knees. My chest won't go as low without my back bending. So I had to do wall push-ups. Then i did elevated push-ups. After that I was able to do full range of motion push-ups from my knees. The last three months, I've been putting pillows underneath my chest and doing push-ups from my toes, just to touch that pillow. But then finally, I am able to do the push-ups with straight back, engaged core and full range of motion. I'm so proud of myself. :)

    Wanted some tips on my current workout routine

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 10:42 PM PST

    20 Male 135Lb 5'10" I decided to commit to working out, and have been doing good the last few days. My main focus other than building muscle is to show myself if I put my mind to something I can accomplish it, and to feel more confident in my body because I'm pretty skinny.

    Currently, I am doing about 30 push ups a day, 5-10 pull ups a day, and 10reps and 2-3 sets of curls on a 10 lb weight dumbbell. Was wondering if anyone had any tips for my routine and what kind of gains I should expect from doing this

    Will prayer planche have carryover to planche?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 04:25 AM PST

    Recently I just injured my left wrist again.

    Since I can't seem to hold my body weight on neither floor nor parallettes.

    And I don't have the access to do the "Box maltese"

    Is it a good idea to just work on prayer planche for my planche progression?

    Thanks

    Could you do things like flutter kicks from the hollow body position?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 07:28 AM PST

    Title pretty much says it all. It seems to me that doing mivement like this from the hollow body position would make for a good core exercise, given the amount of instability you have from not placing your hands on the floor or under your back. So is this common? Or is it more of an injury waiting to happen?

    Which exercise to target the brachialis ?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 03:11 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I have weak brachialis and my arms look "weird". My biceps isn't that bad thanks to my straight arms work/strength but my brachialis are weak and small lol Same for my forearm.

    I can full planche but can't maltese and I am pretty sure it is the main reason.

    That's said, do you know specific exercises for that muscle ?

    I do ez bar curl. I am considering inverted curl (pronated).

    Do you know other things ?

    Wrist Strengthening Exercises

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:14 PM PST

    Hi guys!

    I have been boxing for a few years but ran into issues quite early on. My wrists have always been quite thin and weak. I developed a wrist injury from training that made it painful and difficult to continue. I tried many different exercises to train and strengthen them with varying levels of success. So I wanted to ask for advice. And yes I have read Rule 2 and I'm no longer injured. I sought medical advice and am not just looking for advice regarding your recommended exercises!

    Do you have any exercises that you like for building wrist strength that'll help support them? Preferably exercises that can be done with no equipment (I'm stuck in hotel quarantine for 14 days thanks to COVID hahaha)

    Skills progression through calisthenics

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 08:53 PM PST

    Hi team,

    I have searched for this but couldn't quite find an answer I was looking for. Most replies simply said to do the recommended routine and progress to skills that way.

    I have been (and will keep) doing the RR and have an ok base (currently able to add about 15kg for a few reps on both dips and pull ups, though everything else is lagging) but am wondering if there is a very rough order of skills from easier to advanced? ie. easy - L sits, handstands; intermediate - V sits, dragonfly, front lever; advanced - flagpole etc

    In terms of goals I'd love to eventually be able to do a front lever and a handstand (and everything that comes along with it), and I guess a planche would be cool one day. I'm super impressed by anyone that can flag pole but I'll worry about that in a few years haha.

    I gather the L sit is probably the easiest to start learning, but what else could I reasonably start now and where should I be aiming? I feel I could easily start learning handstands but are front levers a bit advanced for right now? Are there more attainable skills I could be learning in the meantime while I continue to build up the strength needed for more advanced moves?

    Cheers!

    We Are Stronger Together Right?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 11:29 AM PST

    We all know how important diet is when it comes to achieving our fitness goals. What we don't always know, however, is how to translate that wisdom into a successful plan for our individual bodies. We want to help make that part easier. Here is your Collier Fit Fam Nutrition Guide designed to help you eat good calories to produce even greater results from the hard work you are putting in at home and at the gym.

While finding our way forward to achieve our personal fitness goals, we need to prepare our minds to succeed as well. Committing to a great workout is only part of the battle.

Here is a quick and easy Nutrition Reference Guide to help you understand macronutrient timing for you. This knowledge is key to your ongoing success and will vary depending on your goal.

    If your goal is to build muscle, you want to end the day with a caloric surplus. These quality calories help the body build muscle effectively. If your goal is to lose weight, you want to end each day with a healthy caloric deficit. The big key to maintaining a healthy surplus or deficit for your specific body is a useful macronutrient calculator and a simple way to track your daily activity. There are many free options for both of these Food is fuel, but it's also fun, right? Don't feel like you need to starve yourself of delicious options because you're trying to reach your goal faster.

    Anterior Pelvic tilt after ab workout?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 09:39 PM PST

    Hello guys,

    I've been working out for almost 6 months now. I've noticed many progression, but when it comes to my stomach and abs, something odd happened.

    My Ab workout consists of 3 exercises: weighted crunches, legraises and weighted russian twists. I've been doing these for about 2 months consistently. I definitely noticed my abs growing in strength as well as having slight six pack abs by now.

    Also, I've been drinking protein shakes for a weeks now, after doing this I really noticed my difference in posture.

    Now, I think it's APT, because of the characteristic posture it gives you, having the stomach pushed outwards more than my chest. It just really tears on my self confidence to see what happened.

    I'm really not sure whether it is APT, because as far as I know strong abs help counteract it. I know my hamstrings have always been very tight and I'll definitely do Glute/Hamstring exercises.

    The actual question I have is if it really is APT or something else I don't know about. I'd be glad for every answer I get here,

    Have a nice day!

    Underrated benefits of a strong and mobile midsection (core)?

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 11:33 PM PST

    I have started exercising from the last 1.5 months. Following a cut down version of the RR. A bit of history, I was sedentary for the last decade. Only movements were walking short distances when needed. I am not fat, but have a dad bod. Thin arms with little strength, hunched back, rounded shoulders, no toe touch, etc. I used to think previously that all I lacked was strong arms. But somehow I got exhausted even after a few pushups. After a few sessions I realised that it was my core. When I started doing the core workouts first I got a a lot more energy/stamina while doing the rest of the workout. It was my weak chain and I am more focused on building it now. My hunching posture was also because of my weak core. I have hunched for so long that I have a crease line on my skin below the rib cage across my belly where my obdomen folded while sitting for long hours. Another thing I realised is that regular core training has made my poo easier in the morning. I don't know why, maybe someone can explain.

    The motive of this post is get to know about all the benefits people in this sub have experienced by strengthening their weak core. Which among them are the most underrated or least talked about? Maybe someone's experience can be a huge help for someone else.

    Upper body exercises that don't require loading the wrists

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 10:20 PM PST

    I recently got into bodyweight exercises and had been doing it for around a month and half. While doing pushups and pull ups (or any exercise that required me to use my hands really) I felt slight discomfort in my right wrist which only grew over time. So I decided to get it checked.

    I was told that it's tendonitis in my wrist and that I'd have to stop loading my wrist for around a month, and that it was not just due to exercising, it took some time to reach at this point and it could've been because of a fall or something. (I think not warming up probably played a part as well.)

    So what I want to know is as stated in the title - are there any upper body exercises that I can do that don't involve loading the wrists?

    Edit: Forgot to add, I might also have tennis elbow.
