| Select a muscle and it will show you an exercise to work that muscle Posted: 21 Jan 2021 10:01 AM PST I've stumbled on this and I think it may interest some of you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Jan 2021 02:44 PM PST I can do 10 pushups non-stop and I think I can get to 100 in a day but I am not sure can I do it the next day because of the sore in my muscles. Should I do it every single day of the week or 3-4 days of the week? What should I know? I just want to lose some weigth and make my body a little better, would appreciate your help.

| Anyone else hate back extensions? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 07:37 AM PST Seriously, doing back extensions makes me literally cry. Is my back just weak or does this excersise give bodycancer [link] [comments] |
| Learned a pretty cool lesson about diet over the last week Posted: 20 Jan 2021 06:15 PM PST I (27/M) and about 5 weeks into the RR and am loving it. When I started I shifted my diet pretty significantly. Nothing crazy, not counting macros, just an eye toward lean protein, greens, whole grains, etc. I also have a terrible sugar addiction which I've been pretty successful at managing. I didn't really connect the dots about why I have been cruising through workouts. I had a long weekend where I ate like an asshole - pizza, cheesesteak, breakfast sandwich, ice cream etc.. When I did the routine on Sunday it was a nightmare. I was sluggish, was way under performing, and really wanted to cut corners and be done. I got back to my healthier habits on Monday and the difference has been like night and day. Maybe its cause I am older than other points in my life when I've trained or gotten in good shape, but it was really valuable to see how much diet impacts performance (even if that seems super obvious). Thought you guys might find it interesting! [link] [comments] |
| Should I bulk while doing bwf? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 08:42 AM PST I'm currently 65kg (144 lbs) I'm I'm thinking about bulking to around 69kg (154 lbs), will gaining that much weight make things like muscle ups or pull ups or just bodyweight exersices in general harder or will i not notice a difference?

| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 11:50 AM PST I am 200lbs and I have a really busy schedule for school and a job. I need a routine I can follow, one that's effective, but short. Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 10:13 AM PST Hey all, I made the following routine to work towards my frontlever and doing some general pull exercises. I want to optimise my training time, so I thought to do the core training in the rest time of my FL progression. But doing the core training makes me lose some of my form in the FL progressions. Any tips to optimise this? Thanks in advance FL progression (5-8sets) 2-3min rest in between sets Negative tucked (straddle) lever- 5 sec hold- back up Horizontal row 8x FL hold with assistant band 5-10sec Core training (3-5 sets) 2-3 min rest in between sets Ab wheel 10x Negative dragon flags 4x Knee raises 20x Retraction training (3-5 sets) 2-3min rest in between sets Arching hang 10-15sec Weighted pull ups 4x Pull ups (perfect) max [link] [comments] |
| Kinda strong pull up game. Weak chest to bar. Posted: 21 Jan 2021 02:06 AM PST I can do 12 regular full rom pullups but I can't do a single rep of chest to bar. Any tips on how to progress? Tried mimicking the motion standing with a mop and still have a difficulty making it touch my chest. [link] [comments] |
| I'm extremely self conscious about a large chest Posted: 21 Jan 2021 11:55 AM PST Hello everyone, im a long time lurker and have been doing the RR for about 2 months now. I've always been okay with my body except for one specific part. From the title you already can tell that its my chest. I can do a set of push-ups pretty easily and I know there is muscle there, but I can't seem to get rid of my man boobs. Mostly just asking for any tips or workouts to help. [link] [comments] |
| Is it a good time to start working out? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 02:06 AM PST im 14, 15 this year and im trying to build good habits, but when i try doing push ups i can do only ~5 at a time and i dont know if its because im too young or just becouse im starting out. [link] [comments] |
| I want to have my cake and eat it too Posted: 21 Jan 2021 08:03 AM PST I do rr three days a week and quite content with it. Owing to my short stature, I need to do around 400-500 calorie burning exercises on off days. Here's what all I have tried * steady state cardio - running, cycling, etc - Dont utilize many muscles so I feel like I'm not being efficient. Also, in covid both are not possible. Also, Boring :( * skipping : boring * games - I love badminton but again feel like not very efficient. Also covid * Jordan yeoah fitness - basically cardio using mix of bodyweight strength exercises and a lot of jumping. This is the closest I've come to actually liking something but it's not as fun as games So I guess what I am looking for a is a game oriented home cardio exercise? Ik I am asking for a lot so might have end up compromising on something but just wanted to know what you guys do to make cardio fun. Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 11:40 AM PST I have had success before in my mid 20s going from 270 to 170 but at the time I had access to a gym. But with lockdown I can't hit the weights, so I'm hoping to find a place to start. Thanks guys [link] [comments] |
| How to strenghten my wrists/hands? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 11:35 AM PST Hi guys. I tried doing weighted dips for the first time today with 15 kg added (I weight 73) I sort of small feminine hands (not sausage fingers) and very thing wrists (even thinner than most girls, I have compared them). My fingers are not very long, and with my index finger and thumb I can make an O around my wrist. In order to keep my wrists vertical I have to put most of the bar under my thumb, which makes my palm feel like its getting torn apart. Does anyone else have this issue? What can I do?

| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 11:28 AM PST If I was to do 100 push ups, pull ups, and squats for a month would i see good results as a beginner? [link] [comments] |
| I feel like the abs/pecs exercises I'm doing aren't working Posted: 21 Jan 2021 11:17 AM PST Hi, before anything I have to stress this: I am a total newbie to the fitness world, I just started out around a month ago and it's the reason why I'm here. With that out of the way, I'll explain the title further. When I do any sort of abs exercise (crunches, mountain climbers, reverse crunches, russian twists, etc.) I don't feel the muscles that are supposed to be working getting tired or anything, and the next day I'm not sore at all. I also do the amount of reps and sets that the websites I've visited recommend. A similar thing happens with pecs exercises, when I do them I do feel them working and the next day I do feel sore, but the catch is: What I'm feeling aren't the actual pecs but a spot between the shoulder and the pec (I don't know how to explain it accurately). Again I'm probably just doing something obvious and basic wrong and this is a waste of your time but I really don't know who else to ask. [link] [comments] |
| Female Bodyweight Role Models/Leaders? (Concern about upperbody being too mucular) Posted: 21 Jan 2021 07:02 AM PST Hey there, if you know any female bodyweight fifness gurus who can do muscle ups, planche, front levers, etc, can you please let me know so I can follow their social media? I'm a woman who just bought El Eggs' Cali Move program and am excited to start training. HOWEVER, I am already self conscious about how muscular my shoulders/back/chest are for a woman. I did P90X during quarantine, which is geared towards men, and the workouts had me doing 40 total pullups and 180 pushups on an upperbody day. I love being able to crush pullups and pushups but there have been comments that I'm getting too muscular in the upper body. So I decided to stop doing P90X and have new fitness goals like handstands, front levers, etc, hence buying El Eggs' program. Now I'm wondering if bodyweight fitness will keep accentuating my upper body and maybe I've made a mistake and should do more conventionally female-oriented workouts instead. Like, endless squats. So if you know any women who can do advanced bodyweight fitness moves, I'd love to follow them and investigate if this is the path for me. Thanks in advance!!! [link] [comments] |
| Quick question about supersets in Push/Pull routine Posted: 21 Jan 2021 10:38 AM PST I'm switching to a 4 days a week push/pull routine with a goal of hypertrophy. Is it wise to superset pullups/inverted rows (pull day), and pushups/dips (push day) like is done with the Recommended Routine? Or should I do all the sets of one exercise first and then do all the sets of the second exercise separately? [link] [comments] |
| how would you do reps if you had never read anything about working out? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 06:16 AM PST Just curious. I've been reading some information on training speed and power -- Charlie Francis, Kelly Baggett, Jay Schroder, Dietrich Buchnholz -- and someone made the comment that, "your body wants to be fast, but we're training it to be slow." (paraphrased) The idea he was getting at is we naturally expend energy explosively but, through training, learn to limit our expression of strength so we can make a few more reps at the end. And, yeah, I think he's right. When I first started working out, my cadence was naturally fast and I learned to go slower for reasons. What about you guys? How would you naturally do reps? Do you think there's a certain way to train if we want to express our body's natural strength and speed tendencies? The more I'm reading about our body's "switch on" speed, the more I want to take my training in that direction. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 09:58 AM PST In between sets of an exercise how long should my test generally be and how many reps of negative pull ups should I do? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 09:47 AM PST Saw YouTube videos about rr on antrick's channel and he is doing them quite slow. Would the efficiency decrease of I do them faster? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 09:27 AM PST do i have diastisis recti or just genetics when I do crunches i can feel a slight gap in between my abs its not deep and its barely a finger wide and whats does a normal line in between the abs feel like when doing crunches for more info I'm 15m [link] [comments] |
| Can a female with no upper body strength at all do RR to achieve body recomp? Posted: 20 Jan 2021 10:40 PM PST I saw people doing body recomp with RR and they got amazing results in months, but most of them are guys or someone who has been familiar with BW exercises. I myself can't do a single floor push-up, dip, pull-up. Maybe 15 knee push-ups. In order to gain muscle mass and strength the most conservative way possible, should I stick with RR, or is there any other BW workout plans recommend for woman? [link] [comments] |
| Tackle tight muscles with ab training? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 09:12 AM PST Hi guys. Perhaps check my other posts. There's one where I talk about my insanley tight muscles in my entire body. So, I watched an athlean x video, he mentioned that ab training can help as it takes the load off of your lower back and stops APT, which stops that prestretch/tight hamstring feeling. That tight hamstring may have a knock on effect to cause tight calves, tight quads, tight anterior tibialis. Anyways, on this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gIhCuqtC0r0&t=225s (Timestamped) He mentions an exercise called "gymnast abs". Which is just the dip starting position whilst raising your abs/tailbone. I thought about doing 3x8 3x a week, then adding weight progressively. Plus leg raises on a pull up bar. Routine - 3x a week Gymnast abs - 3 sets 8 reps bodyweight. Add weight per session. Hanging leg raises - 3 sets 8 reps bodyweight. Add weight per session. How does that sound? Thanks!
