| BWF Primer Build-up Community Event: Day 11 Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:00 AM PST Welcome to Day 11 of the BWF Primer Build-up!(IF YOU ARE JUST JOINING US TODAY, CLICK HERE TO JUMP TO DAY 1!) Day 11 (Today!) Hey folks! Nick-E here. So yesterday was a whole lot of reading. Some of you may have got the hang out of it, some of you may not have. Some of you may be in the unfortunately common camp of 'that felt way too easy I don't think it's even doing anything'. For those in the last 2 camps, don't worry. Like I mentioned in the last post and also in the deadbug guide, it takes some practice to learn properly, and it is not simply holding the position however you can that's hard, it's the exact process of bracing with the right muscles to hold that position, with minimal air in your lungs. That takes a lot of practice and experimentation to figure out. Anyway, today: - Going back over the deadbug guide - Another workout! Today's Learning:As I've said a few times now, yesterday's reading on the Deadbug was a real doozy, so to cut you a bit of slack and not overwhelm you with information, your reading for today is to go back over all that information, take your time to practice all the different breathing and core activation drills to really consolidate all the info best as you can. Deadbug GuideWorkout #11:
(REMINDER: IF YOU ARE FAILING ANY OF YOUR SETS, OR EVEN PUSHING CLOSE TO FAILURE, YOU ARE WORKING WAY TOO HARD. PICK AN EASIER LEVEL OF INCLINATION/EXERCISE VARIATION THAT YOU COULD DO SEVERAL MORE REPS OF IF YOU HAD TO. THE FOCUS OF THIS PHASE OF THE PRIMER ROUTINE IS ON TECHNIQUE PRACTICE AND LEARNING, NOT PUSHING YOURSELF TO YOUR LIMIT OR EVEN CLOSE. IF YOU PUSH YOURSELF TO FAILURE 6x A WEEK FOR TWO WEEKS YOU WILL BE MASSIVELY OVERDOING IT AND BURN OUT QUICKLY.) Ok, I did it!Congratulations! If you'd like, we'd love to hear your thoughts about your workout in the comments, as well as any questions you have about the concepts or forms you learned today. Alternatively, we've set up a new 'beginners zone' in our communities' discord server, so you can come chat with other new exercisers in a friendly environment, with friendly helpers with experience with exercise that have volunteered to answer any questions you may have!

| Strength, Mobility & Flexibility Posted: 11 Jan 2021 06:54 AM PST I've always loved this community and have lurked for some time but never posted anything yet. I am hoping you all can help me out! I used to do bodyweight exercises 2 years back before I got an injury and then 2020 happened. I've gotten back into it again and I'm getting stronger slowly. I was a beginner before anyway. However, this time around I also do want to try to focus on mobility and flexibility but I don't know how to go about this. Usually I do a warm up followed by my workout and then a cool down. Cool downs are usually stretches - so if it's leg day, there's pigeon stretch, etc. While researching for mobility/flexibility routines, I came across Tom Merrick's routines, but it seems like I have to do them daily. My question is is can I insert these routines after my workout instead of the cool down? Or will that affect my gains in strength? Or should I do these on my rest days (2 in a week) or is that not enough? My mobility/flexibility especially in my lower body is terrible and I'm a little confused so if any of you can help me out, it'd be so great. Thank you for all your help.

| Dancing as active rest day/mobility exercise Posted: 11 Jan 2021 03:38 AM PST What's your opinion on this? If i dance casually i move every single muscle in my body, can this substitute mobility exercises for the rest days? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| The science behind the warmup. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 01:04 PM PST After stumbling across The Mindful Movers' recent Instagram post , where he claims that he hasn't warmup up before working out in 2 years, and has done so with zero injuries, it made me wonder what the science actually says about warming up. Is the ingrained belief that we must warmup before workouts just indoctrinated into us through hearsay and community word-of-mouth, or is there actually any science out there that supports the notion? EDIT: u/MindfulMover may want to chime in on this ;-) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Are gymnastic rings worth it if I don't have enough space? Posted: 11 Jan 2021 05:41 AM PST I decided to install a bar at home for pull-ups. While browsing this subreddit I learned that you guys really recommend gymnastic rings, but I don't have the recommended space for them (hanging from 2m/78" and 2m around me) Could I still use it for some of the exercises, or should I orient myself to some other equipment? Thanks! EDIT: got lots of good info, helpful community, appreciate it :) FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: would it make sense to skip the pull-up bar, and drill the rings directly in the ceiling? Would I suffice with the rings and no bar? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 04:55 AM PST Dear all, As many of you I turned to bodyweightfitness for a full workout while in lockdown, and I am trying to find my own routine. After messing about a bit with the R&R proposed on this sub, I came up with my own routine which I can do without thinking too much. I wonder if you experts have some tips for the routine i have now, and have some points that im missing here, also tips on progress are welcome! Aimed 3 times a week lockdown workout: walk/ run for 10 minutes 100 squats 100 push-ups 30 dips 30 inverted row 15 chin ups 15 pull ups stretching for 10 minutes cooldown walk for 10 minutes Thanks in advance and keep the P.M.A. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 04:48 AM PST I've been following a training plan for the last two months which suggests to train for three weeks three times a week and then take a 1 week break to regenerate muscle. Does this make sense? Or does it hinder the muscle buildup? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Help choosing a "door" model pull-up bar Posted: 11 Jan 2021 12:11 PM PST Hi guys! I've found this pull-up bar: https://pt.aliexpress.com/i/32829094430.html I think it's a good deal for me, but I have 2 concerns. Since I can't find anywhere to ask the seller (and honestly sellers like this usually don't give decent answers for such questions as below), I wonder if anyone has a similar bar to help me out.
Thanks alot!!! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:56 AM PST I have been following /u/Yaad_Mohammad excellent HsPu tutorial to work learning the hspu as a pandemic goal along with my normal calisthenics routine. I feel like the routine is pretty structurally balanced. If you are not familiar with his tutorial it is at its simplest doing pike pushups working up to 4-5 sets of 10 reps while also doing skill work based around frogstand, holding the bottom part of the movement for time, and working on the eccentric after that. The bottom hold is called the Yaad hold. Because I was struggling with 3 sets of 5 reps at the beginning I put the emphasis on strength over skill work which, with hindsight was a big mistake! I can now do 4 sets of 10 reps "comfortably" but struggle with the full yaad hold. Posting my latest attempt here. I find a significant amount of pressure on the front of the shoulders in this position and for me it feels like strength is more lacking than anything. I know there is a pretty significant arch in my lower back which I need to work on as well. I want to ask, in addition to the form check, is this level of effort normal? I tried to do these after a ring workout the other day and it was impossible. If it is normal, do you have any recommendations for movements to strengthen this area that might complement doing the static holds alone? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 07:32 AM PST I (45M, beginner--have been training for about 1 year) wonder what others think of this article: https://www.painscience.com/articles/strength-training-frequency.php. I can't really fit 3x per week into my schedule, and am considering going down to two per week. I wonder if I can still make decent strength gains if I reduce? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Lat activation during pull ups Posted: 11 Jan 2021 12:12 PM PST Title says it. I know it has been discussed milion times but i cannot still find out how to do it [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:35 AM PST I train for front lever near 1,5 months and i usually do 5x15 seconds advanced tuck and as i informated the next progression is half lay but i tried it and it feel impossible. How should i achive it? Do longer adv tuck holds? (4x20-30 seconds?) (btw I' am 181 cm and 65 kg) Thanks for helping me! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST Hi all hope this is worth a shot and maybe motivate skinny people out there! I'm a 1.70 skinny male and doing the RR since oct 8, starting at 60 kg, never gained more. I had hard time gaining weight even using protein shakes and hitting the gym 5x5 stronglift program. I'm rather strong I would say my deadlift was about 110kg but couldnt progress further and my body didn't look anything different. Long story short, I'm back to my parents home getting 8 hours sleep and 4 decent meals a day, no protein or creatine just plain mom's cooking. Bought a pair of rings and got to 65 kg on Dec 10 a PR for me. I can do more pull-ups than ever and feeling pretty good about my progress, my body also shows and people notice. Been kind of lazy lately and didn't push the training hard enough for the holidays and changed my diet to vegetarian for a month. Dropped a few kg in 2 weeks but that's ok. Biggest discovery was how important is to stick to the routine, discipline not just the workout but sleep and food, I'm trying to get back on track ASAP! Isn't a crazy transformation but its honest work, sorry for bad englando. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Doing sets with rests between vs other exercises? Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:25 AM PST Hello everybody! I was wondering if there was a difference between doing sets with rests in between (ex 15 push ups, 30 second rest between each set) versus doing 15 push ups followed by squats then back to push ups? With little/no rest in between. The latter seems to save more time and still allows the muscles to rest as long as you are doing an exercise that doesn't use any of the previous muscles. Maybe it's better to do your max and only one set? Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 02:49 AM PST Any advice on getting squat form right? I've found out that I have a really weak glute medius from a 12 hour shift office job I had, and I feel like it makes my squats really weak. I just feel like I'm not doing them right and I also don't feel any muscle burn anywhere when I do them. Do I squat all the way to the bottom of the movement? Like as low as I can get? I also feel like I'd benefit from having better ankle mobility so any exercises you can suggest that would help with that would be great! Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 09:41 AM PST Firstly, sorry if this has already been answered. I have been on and off with fitness for about two years now, but I have recently decided to take calisthenics seriously and see where I can go. However, I am used to the bulking/cutting phases during weightlifting that help me lose fat and gain muscle. Right now I am following the recommended routine, and I was wondering if it can be modified for these types of cycles. I don't want to quit the routine, but I would like to be able to see significant changes in my muscle-to-fat ratio over time. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 03:11 PM PST Title says it all. Looking for some more protein in my diet. EDIT: idgaf about flavour, just concerned about the gains [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 12:36 PM PST I took today's session to try and focus more on performing the action instead of focusing on the muscular strain, and today's training was wonderful. I know that the mind-muscle connection is a big thing here, but I was still able to maintain my form and push myself. I'd love to hear everybody's experiences with this.

| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:56 AM PST I'm doing my inverted rows in a narrow doorway (it was the only place I could put my bar and my straps/rings). This means I can't do the wide row as my elbows would hit a wall on one side, is there an alternative progression I can do. Weighted inverted rows would also work but I have no weights, anyone got any recommendations or any replacements for weights? Taa x [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| How long does it take to gain 10kg (22 pounds) of muscle? Posted: 11 Jan 2021 11:36 AM PST Hey, I am not a beginner to training per se. have been swimming ever since I was a baby. I am trying to take quarantine as an opportunity to gain some muscle and to improve my sprinting game. Because I am a beginner to body weight trainning (though I still have proper technique and able to do "hard" exercises). How long would it take for someone like me to achieve this body goal? I am a 14 year old teenager about 178-180cm (not sure exactly) and am trying to hit 170-180 pounds. I am currently 150 pounds. Is this even a goal I should want to hit considering I swim competitively? I've noticed elite sprinting swimmers having their height (in cm) close to, if not equal to their weight in pounds. Should I aim to have this as my goal considering I may still grow? If not, what should my goal be as a 14 year old (almost 15) knowing that I may still grow? Anyways, I know that I have written a lot, but if I can only get one question awnsered it would be: how long would it take to gain 22 pounds of muscles with body weight training? Thank you all for your help in advance considering how much I would like to improve my game coming out of this quarantine and into the future! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Identifying weakness + how to fix - looking for tips! Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:56 AM PST I'm a fairly in shape woman in her early 30s. These days I primarily am following a bodyweigh/calisthenics exercise routine around 2-3x a week. I've been noticing a specific weakness that I'd love to address and work toward fixing, and am looking for tips. Anything that has to do with an explosive movement from my upper thighs/hips is essentially a non starter. For example, jumping from kneeling to a squat, or jumping into a half tuck handstand - two exercises my gym has us do fairly frequently - are like, mt everest impossible to me. I also noticed that things like cossack squats or a deep squat are extremely painful and hard for me. I'm wondering if it's related, and if there are practical tips for strengthening these areas. All input appreciated :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||
| Lost 50lbs and I’m tired of looking like the Michelin man. Posted: 11 Jan 2021 10:14 AM PST I've been slowly losing weight over the past year and lately I feel like my body needs to mix it up. Stats- 5'10 195lbs. I eat slightly below maintenance calories currently. For exercise I only do cardio (20miles a week). The plan was to start a gym membership 2021 but the gyms around me are still closed so I'm looking for at home body weight workout alternatives. I don't have much equipment. I have a couple 25lb dumbbells, a jump rope, and there's a pull up bar at the park that I always give a side eye to haha. I'm looking for simple routines to do as a beginner. My main focus is upper body (mostly chest). I also want to complete 100 push ups as a goal before summer! How do I measure progression? Any link/app/video suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

| Bw + DL + Running = recovery issue Posted: 11 Jan 2021 09:47 AM PST Hey folks, my current week is like this: M…deadlifting + legs T…running W…bw upper body T…deadlifting + legs F…running S…bw upper body S…(optional offf day) So my issue is, that everything actually progresses more or less, BUT after deadlifting + legs the day after i run with usually sore legs, especially calves. I dont do any isolation training for them, only DL + bulgarian split squats with weight. So if i change the order and do the running day before, than i might be a bit sore from DL for the day after workout which would then be upper body. So its always somehow interfering, but mainly my calves are nit getting stronger it seems and i m never fresh running. Sucks. But in general the plan works fine. Any idea?

| Posted: 11 Jan 2021 09:40 AM PST Thought some people might be interested to see my workout program since Covid started. It focuses heavily on getting stronger through basic pushups and pullups done for high repetitions in a short period of time. Deep squats and kettlebell swings develop lower body size and strength. It's simple but I've been very happy with the results. 3x a week 100 pushups (as few sets as possible) 50 Pullups (" ") 1x per week 5 sets of 25 reps kettlebell swings 5 sets of heavy deep squats [link] [comments] |
