| Do it even if you don’t wanna (day 4 of primer) Posted: 22 Jan 2021 12:04 AM PST 11:45 PM PST on Thursday, on Day 4 of the primer/starter set. I'm tired, physically and emotionally. We had some weird weather with snow and rain today, so my knees are aching (yay heredity degenerative arthritis). I want to go to bed. But I've already noticed some change this early. I can do the exercises quicker. I have had to lessen my incline a bit to keep things at the same difficulty as when I started. My body is ALREADY acclimating to the daily exercise. So I put up my pull up bar and did Day 4. I'm not really anymore tired than when I started. I hate BWF a bit ;) Just wanted to share for anyone else tackling the primer or who is losing steam on their New Year's resolution. Note: obviously if you are sick or injured this doesn't apply. Take care of you. [link] [comments] |
| Losing fat and muscle - eventually want to better at calisthenics Posted: 22 Jan 2021 07:44 AM PST Hey guys, 26M 5'11" on day 19 of an attempt at a cut (first time logging food and tracking calories with an apple watch) but I only had access to a scale on day 6, so the numbers here are from only tracking for 13 days. I started at 181.6 lbs, 18.5% bf, now I am at 178.6 lbs and 17.8% bf. Unfortunately, that means I only lost (.007*181.6) = 1.27 lbs of fat, and the rest muscle (my renpho scale shows muscle mass decreasing but at least skeletal muscle, in percent, is increasing). Did an excel spreadsheet, found out on average I consume around 2000 calories a day but burn 2900, which is a pretty large deficit. However, it doesn't really feel like a huge deficit because I am eating clean and a lot of protein (close to 150-160 g a day), especially compared to before this journey. My goal is to get better at calisthenics and eventually do intermediate exercises like the muscle up, front lever, etc. I work upper body twice a week, legs once, and cardio 2-3 times a week. I walk a lot too. A little background before people jump to telling me to decrease cardio or just blindly increase protein: I'm south Asian with a naturally larger endomorphic build. If it wasn't for years on and off with the gym and cardio, I would definitely be obese, like the other men in my family. This is the first time I am mindfully eating and tracking calories and I have never been below around 17.5% bf. Losing bodyfat has always been much harder for me than gaining muscle (relatively speaking of course, I know that in absolute terms it is easier to lose fat than gain muscle if you have experience in the gym). My family has a high predisposition to visceral fat stores and diabetes, so I really want to be <15% bf for the long run. My question is, should I just keep doing what I'm doing for a longer period of time, or make some modifications now, as I see that I am losing some muscle. I have two ideas, 1) keep doing the same, lose fat and muscle, and then when I go back to maintenance, I feel as if I can gain that muscle back fairly easily? or 2) Add a couple hundred calories a day / do 10-15 mins less cardio a week and reassess? Since it's only day 19, I kind of want to just stick with one thing until at least day 30 or something because of consistency reasons. Any additional thoughts or suggestions are appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read this! [link] [comments] |
| Maximizing Pull Ups Competition Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:27 AM PST Hey, me and my flatmates are having a competition as to who can increase their bodyweight pull ups reps by the most over 9 weeks. I currently weigh roughly 75kg and did 14 reps. Any suggestions for training? Anyone know of training routines/exercises specialised for increasing bodyweight pull up reps? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| I can hold a tuck planche out of nowhere. Posted: 22 Jan 2021 04:58 AM PST So last month, I attempted a tuck planche and collapsed in less than a second. And I barely train skills, just like once in 2 months cause I'm not a fan of statics. Today, I was really bored and attempted it. I HELD IT FOR 16 SECONDS. I haven't done any specific training for this and only train basics. My stats: 13-14 pull-ups 17-20 dips 15 sec L-sit (I can do better, but then again, I get bored doing statics) 6 pistols on my right and 4 on my left Straddle backlever I'm 16, 71kgs and 5'10. Has anyone experienced this? [link] [comments] |

| Where can I find a list of 'moves' and progresions? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 07:31 AM PST Hi everyone, I've been searching but can't seem to find a decent list of calisthenics moves/holds (e.g. muscle up, L-sit, planche etc.) in difficulty order with recommendations on progressions. Appreciate any links to something like that, thanks! [link] [comments] |
| any advice for jawline training? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 11:34 AM PST i'm trying to make my jawline/cheeks (not to be confused with butt cheeks) thinner and more sharp. [link] [comments] |
| can anyone suggest a work out app for 16 year old guy trying to get abs and bigger muscles? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 11:16 AM PST i have been trying for a long time and just don't have any motivation and maybe getting a app who can give exercises can help! [link] [comments] |
| Are tucked front lever rows a good exercise? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 10:53 AM PST Do you/have you used these to strengthen your back? I can't do a full front lever yet [link] [comments] |
| How do you prevent work out stomach aches? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 03:50 AM PST I've been following the recommended routine for a while, and I love it. (For three years, but with some month long breaks here and there. I've been following the program consistently for the last two months now.) But in about every third or fourth workout I get stomach aches that make me feel like I'm almost going to throw up, and I become a bit nauseated. It feels very reminiscent of how I felt when I just started to work out and was exhausted and felt like throwing up from any physical exertion at all. I don't know exactly what triggers this feeling since it grows on me gradually, but I would guess it's coming from the exercises that strain the core. I've tried some tips from google, like limiting how much water I drink during exercising, not eating right before work outs, but also not being hungry before. But still seem to get these stomach aches a bit more often than I would like to. Do you know what causes this, and what steps do you take to prevent it? [link] [comments] |
| Russian Pull up Programme question. Posted: 22 Jan 2021 03:11 AM PST I am about to attempt the Russian Pull up programme. But I have some difficulties to figure out how many reps per set I am supposed to do. My PR is 12 so how should I start? Shall I follow the example given for 15 reps max (12, 10, 8, 6, 4). If I follow this model I will have to do 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 because of my max number which is 12. Or maybe I should go for 12, 11, 10, 9, 8. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| What do you guys think about Hybrid calisthenics Hampton's Routine? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 08:14 AM PST It is progressive calisthenics, I'll leave a link here, and i need your opinion about it. [link] [comments] |
| Should your back arch on pull ups? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 08:01 AM PST I noticed that it is very hard for me to keep a straight line on my pull up without rounding my shoulder blades. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2021 04:06 AM PST I am about a week into a Chloe Ting shred and I believe I mildly pulled my left quad due to inadequate stretching. I know the shred is a bad idea for the next few weeks, but how can I exercise and build muscle in the rest of body while resting my quad? I don't want to stop moving completely. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:33 AM PST Hey! I've been working out very consistently for 18 months now, but i wanna get more serious. I've been searching for a definitive fitness guide, something that will explain everything from what it means to build muscle, do's and don'ts, routines, supplements, etc. Any suggestions are very appreciated!

| How much time should I stay in a calorie deficit and a caloric surplus? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:27 AM PST So I decided to start first with a deficit because I want to have definition in my body before I bulk up or else I"ll gain a lot of fat. But I'm not sure how much time should I do that. Also, is there anything else I need to know? [link] [comments] |
| Trying to remember the name of a program i saw an ad for Posted: 22 Jan 2021 06:15 AM PST Good morning everyone. I saw a youtube ad for a calisthenics program a week or so ago. I forgot the name of it and i wanted to look into it. I was hoping one of you knew of it or had seen the same ad The ad was narrated by a ginger dude who made the program. He was a stunt man and he talked about how people want to be able to do advanced calisthenics moves but dont have the foundation. He then advertised his program as a way to start from the ground up if youve had previous injuries. Does anyone know of a program like this? Thank you in advance [link] [comments] |
| Better way to progress ring pushups Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:40 AM PST I already progressed ring pushups to bulgarian wide ring pushups. But now should i progress to decline, full rto, or weighted? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2021 05:33 AM PST A few months ago I made a structure to train at home due to the pandemic, everything ok untill the upper pole where I hang my rings started bending due to the morning fog and humidity, so setting up my rings at the same height has been a pain in the ass lately and can't find a way to make it happen. Does anyone have any tips or experience with this type of issue? I know it may seem insignificant but it's very annoying when training FL and planche. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 09:26 PM PST Are doorway pull up bars good for waited pull ups or if you have parallel bars That attach to pull up bar like I have will I be able to do weight dips on them [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2021 09:24 PM PST I'm not strong enough for pike push ups right now so if i build overhead press strength will I get good carryover strength to do pike push ups? [link] [comments] |
| 9 months injured, losing muscle mass and completely miserable with all this sitting Posted: 21 Jan 2021 05:41 PM PST Hi, I'm a middle-aged lady with hypermobility disorder. Life long joint and connective tissue issues, but 2020 totally caught up with me. With bilateral si joint dysfunction to the point of dislocation. I worked out a lot, lifted weights multiple times a week, and averaged 17k steps a day. Now I am deflated and saggy. The front of my legs are speckled with cellulite (never ever had this before) and all of me makes me sad. I'm up to limited walking and just started riding my bike on a trainer today (yay!). I'm only allowed forward rows, leg lifts, bridges and planks. Anyone have any ideas on other low impact exercises i can introduce? I live in the Midwest and indoor pools are closed, otherwise i try swimming too. I appreciate any advice. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Abdominal exercises are working my lower back instead? Posted: 22 Jan 2021 03:21 AM PST Hi there, I have a question about exercises which are designed to target my abs. Any crunch variation, planks, leg raises... all of them seem to be straining my lower back more than my abs? Not in a painful way, just that my lower back fatigues before my abs do, and so it never actually feels like I'm getting the workout that I'm supposed to. What am I doing wrong? [link] [comments] |
| What are some subtle ways to make pull ups easier? Posted: 21 Jan 2021 04:32 PM PST How can I squeeze a few more pull ups out by working at the "margins"? [link] [comments] |
