    False grip

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 08:45 AM PST

    For those ring false grippers out there how long did it take before you could do a full set of pull-ups using false grip? Im on the heavy side at 195 and can only do 2 or 3 FG pull-ups before my palms give out. I've been trying to do a few reps of 30s assisted FG hangs (feet slightly on ground) but haven't made much progress.

    Any tips to increase these? Or is it just a matter of increasing time under tension

    Routine Design

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 10:11 AM PST

    Hi, what's the best resource for learning how to design my workout routine? I've mainly just been winging it and doing what I feel like within the confines of a loose plan. I'll typically focus on one strength based skill for the muscle groups worked, some lesser intensity high volume, and some accessory work being either abs, arms, or a muscle group im not working that day. I feel like writing out what I'm doing in a given day would improve performance, but I don't know exactly how to structure it.

    I've seen terms like periodization and mesocycles thrown around, but I'm kind of lost as to where to learn how to program effectively.

    Question about repetitions when working from home

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 10:48 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I'm currently working from home and have a pullup/dip bar. I have been practicing pullups (can only do 2 right now) and assisted pistol squats (while holding a ring). My question as a beginner, would it be better to do a workout routine in an hour with 2-3 min rests in between (which impacts my dip numbers quickly 12-10-8 etc), or since I'm working from home, might it be better to just do as many as I can until exhaust, and take say, 5-10 min breaks and do like 10 sets a day if I can with large rests in between. This way I can also do more pullup negatives without becoming totally limp after my 3rd set with 2 min rest times. Any thoughts to this? Thanks for the help!

    Any tips/hacks for doing Nordic hamstring curls at home?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 10:22 AM PST

    Haven't found a good place to anchor my ankles in place. My couch isn't heavy enough (I've tried stacking stuff on it as well) and my bedframe is too high (and is too close to my bedroom walls to get full extension).

    Any other ideas? Where do you guys do your Nordic hamstring curls at home?

    Dip bars recommended routine

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:57 AM PST

    Hey guys.
    I'm currently renting an apartment and I'm not sure if it's wise to install pull-up bar in the doorway (plus, I can't manage a single pull-up anyway), so I bought a dip bar, kinda like this one. So my question here: is it possible to do the Recommended routine without pull-up bar using only dip bars, and if so - what substitutions should I make?
    Thanks in advance.

    Switching to calistehnics for mini cut

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:44 AM PST

    Hey, so like a lot of people here my gym has been closed, just as i was about to hit a 200kg deadlift :/ However, I kinda wanted to do a mini cut from 90 kg to 84 kg in 2 months anyway, and I have some equipment at home. Do you guys thinks it's reasonable to cut 6 kgs in 2 months with calistehnics, and how much could i change my physique?

    I can't do even one pull-up. What am I doing wrong? What should I do?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:41 AM PST

    I'm twenty two and the last time I weighed myself I was 55. I was more of an indoors person all my life and now when I try to work out I couldn't do even one pushup or a pull-up and no matter how I try and I tried this for a month everyday but this wouldn't change. What should I do?

    Weighted Ring Pull Ups

    Posted: 08 Dec 2020 11:37 AM PST

    My question to all the calisthenics athletes is that how do you decide when to increase the weight?

    I have recently started training weighted pull ups on rings with 7.5kgs/16.5 lb. I do 4 sets of 6 reps each, and in the 4th set I drop to 5 reps (all reps are perfect form). Should I increase the weight? Should I continue with the weight and increase reps?

    Is there any better feeling than learning a new skill in calisthenics?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 12:34 PM PST

    I imagine having a child might be a better feeling, but as a young man, the only thing that compares is losing my virginity!!! All jokes aside, today I finally achieved the slow muscle up and I'm real excited about that.

    Sometimes in calisthenics, you spend weeks on end making very small improvements. That is fun too, but sometimes it is discouraging when your progress is real slow or you plateau. However, it is all so worth it when you finally achieve the skill you were working towards.

    Man, I used to lift a lot of weights and hitting a new PR was great, but nothing compares to this feeling. (At least in my opinion.) Do you guys feel the same way? Also, tell me the most recent skill that you have achieved!!

    Question about Posture

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 01:10 PM PST

    Hi,

    Before i had APT:

    I ran a lot and had extremely strong glutes and hamstrings/abbs until lockdown came and fucked it all up. Now i can't even run fast without my glutes wobbling around and i no longer feel them after doing several sprints.

    Main concerns:

    I've had apt for about 9 months now and have been trying to fix it for 4 weeks now, At first it was going great and i saw immediate changes in my posture until a week ago when it got very hard to suck my abdominals throughout the day. When i walk my shorts now start to yet again slope down into an anterior position but my boxers remain neutral (Somewhat straight) without nosediving down. My lower back also hurts now when i go into a pushup position and feels quite tight (The stretches for it have not loosened it at all and it continues to remain tight) my lower back is now also starting to arch a bit more since week 3. If it's worth mentioning, 2 months ago i had to tilt my pelvis a lot to feel my top glutes activate, Now i just need to slightly turn it and they turn on.

    I have been following ScotthermanFitness's " Fix anterior pelvic tilt in 3 easy steps" video for all the exercises he recommends.

    Sleep situation: When i sleep i put my bed cover under my knees and try to position myself with a flat back but always wake up with a very tight lower back. Should i just relax instead even if i arch?

    Basically, my glutes have not gotten stronger, my back is starting to slowly begin arching more now, it's very hard to suck and keep my bellybutton in. And my shorts are starting to nose dive down like they did before i did anything about my apt.

    Im unsure if perhaps it's because im overtraining my abbs? I mean everyday twice a day 5x 60 second hollow holds, 4x 60 second planks and 4x 50 reps No Gap.

    Sorry about the long post, i just really want to sort this issue out and get running again.

    raw power/bent-arm strength and a tad of isometric training vs isometric training to achieve skills

    Posted: 06 Dec 2020 09:37 AM PST

    So from the title, it's pretty obvious what the question is. Do you really need to train the isometric skills religiously to achieve them? Because I and some friends of mine just get skills very easily without really training them. We just train for power and hypertrophy and seem to get skills fairly easily by just trying them out and training them for a couple of months on and off at random. I got the back lever and a straddle front lever also almost a straddle planche from just trying them out and doing basics and some advanced bent arm skills, so do I really need to train them a lot to achieve them?
