| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 10:50 AM PST This was my first time ever working with wood, save for sawing a dowel rod in half to jam my window against an AC unit. I used this post from about 5 yeaes ago as a guide https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/3mf79y/i_made_a_freestanding_pulluprings_station_for_30/. I did not have access to any power saws, but I did have a power drill. I bought a miter guide to help me make clean 90deg and 45deg cuts, and used some macguyvering to cut rabbet joints. Not gonna lie, it was a bitch and a half to only have a hand saw and xacto knife, took way longer than it should have, and is one kipping pull up from breaking, but it suits my purposes. Normally I go to the local park and hang my rings from my favorite sturdy tree, but the winters are colder than a yeti's didk where I live, to the point that even the thickest of gloves don't stop my fingers from going numb. All in all I learned a lot, and can't wait to get back to my workouts. Now I have the added benefit of being able to grease the groove on some of the more difficult movements too. Just thought I'd share, and let you know it's possible even without expensive power tools. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 02:20 PM PST Hi, I (19F) have pretty skinny arms and I cannot do a single push-up. I have two 2kg dumbbells at home... I've tried YouTube workouts and tbh I don't see much difference. Does anybody have any tips for me? Must I go to the gym (because I prefer to workout at home lol)? I don't want overly muscular arms but I definitely do want my arms to be strong and muscular. I wonder how long and how much work that will take me? For me, I think I lose weight quite fast with cardio, but when it comes to gaining muscles I just can't. :( It hurts good when I workout but when I wake up I don't feel sore.. Edit: thank you everyone for the overwhelming response. I wasn't expecting it. I've already incorporated some of the tips y'all offered. I'm really really grateful!!! ❤️❤️ I'm definitely getting my strong arms in 2021, and I'm gonna be able to do a push-up :) [link] [comments] |
| Conflicting information about retraction + depression of scapula when doing overhead movements Posted: 22 Dec 2020 04:45 AM PST For the longest time I've believed that when working overhead you should retract and depress your scapula to give your shoulders stability and safety. Daniel of FitnessFAQs says this, Jeff Cavilere of AthleanX says this, and I don't doubt that other popular YT channels echo the same advice. However the other day I found this video where at 3:00 the presenter starts saying that "down and back" for the scapula is a bad idea for certain movements as when its overused it shuts off the serratus anterior and can lead to a disfunctional scapula. One of the reasons he says this is that when your arms are overhead the serratus anterior should be facilitating upward rotation of the scapula so that the shoulder blades can move into a better position for shoulder flexion. Now these two pieces of information are directly contradicting each other and I'm not sure which I should be following. One rationale that I have currently is that it sounds like as if overhead pushing should not use the cue so that the shoulder blades can move properly and shoulder flexion is not hindered. Whereas overhead pulling should use the cue to give better stability to the scapula. Am I on the right lines here? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 09:45 AM PST Hi all For anyone interested in reading calisthenics books, I've just subscribed to kindle unlimited as there is an offer on. 99p for three months. Just had a browse and have noticed that there are tons of calisthenics books on there! [link] [comments] |
| Greasing the groove with isolation? Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:08 AM PST In general, volume=hypertrophy right? Would it make sense to grease the groove with isolation movements for greater hypertrophy in the smaller muscles? Like if you did a few bicep curls and tricep extensions on the rings every now and then, would you see more growth in your arms because of the greater volume? [link] [comments] |
| Pushups vs Pullups disproportion Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:33 AM PST I am much better at pushups than pullups - probably, thats because I have done more pushups in my life in general. So I am wondering: What do you think? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 09:55 AM PST Hi! I have some time practicing, studying and teaching calisthenics. I also read Overcoming Gravity 2 (which I recommend). But sometimes I think that a good certification (internationally recognized) could help me build a better knowledge foundation and get more jobs. However, in my country a normal certification would take about 2 to 3 years (and I think they are not better than those of the US or Europe) and are expensive (~$USD2000 per year) Are any good certification online? That I can follow outside the US or Europe? Would Those allow me to work in special cases? [link] [comments] |
| Is this a good book? (And any other book reqs for home work outs with out equipment) Posted: 22 Dec 2020 11:27 AM PST Hi, Anyone have this book: Maximus Body: The Physical and Mental Training Plan that Shreds Your Body 1) Is it good? 2) Is it good for beginners? 3) Anyone have a good book recommendation for beginners? Where I'm at: I'm 5'10 220ish can do push-ups but can't do pull ups (haven't tried dips in a long time) Thanks for all your help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2020 12:10 PM PST So I have never had any problems with my elbows before. I started going to the gym and in the first two weeks everything was okay. My elbows started popping and cracking when doing tricep pushdowns and bodyweight tricep extensions. It only a hurt a little. I asked a coach and he said I was doing all exercises with good form. It wasn't that bad so I just continued working out like before. One day I was doing tricep pushdowns and my right elbow popped very loud and it hurt so much I couldn't even move it. I went home and let my elbows rest for weeks. When I started going to the gym again it still hurt a little at tricep extensions so I didn't do them. But after a few days my elbows started to hurt in basically every push exercise like push ups or dips. The coach still said that I'm doing everything correctly. I always warm up and workout correctly but the pain doesn't go away even if I rest for weeks. What should I do? [link] [comments] |
| Alternative to the gym/home weight set: Sandbags! Posted: 21 Dec 2020 03:37 PM PST Howdy yall, I thought I'd share my cheap method for making sandbags. Materials (most of you will have these lying around): • This is the duffel bag(s) I used, surprisingly sturdy and I highly reccomend it •Trash bags •Some kind of ball (lacrosse ball preferably) •DuctTape •Zip ties •Sand (Lowes sells a 4 dollar 50 lb bag of playsand) The process is very simple. First, line your duffel bag with a few trash bags (I stupidly used 1 heavy duty lawn bag and after 4 months of heavy use their is 0 sign of wear on the bag or any sand leakage, so go crazy with it). Then, poor in your sand depending on how much you'd like it to weigh. Twist up some of the loose bags and tape/ziptie it off but leave a good amount of excess. Put in your lacrosse ball (this will prevent sand from coming out), then seal up the rest of the excess with zipties/tape covering, Zip up the bag and you're done! My sandbags have been sitting outside in the florida elements, I work out 3 times a week and they are still perfect condition, not even a ripped seem or broken zipper. I hope this helps some of you who do not have a weigh of doing things like DL or squats due to lack of resistance. If you need me to clarify anything just comment. Note: Anywhere you place the zipties, first tape the area, then put on a ziptie and sinch it down, then apply more tape to cover it up. This prevents it from puncturing the bag or rubbing.
