| I just realized the one arm pullup is an exceedingly rare skill. Posted: 24 Jan 2021 03:38 AM PST I just realized the one arm pullup is an exceedingly rare skill. Much more so than I initially thought. You may find plenty of chin elevated to just barely get it to the bar, as well as opposite shoulder touching the bar, but the true full ROM one arm pullup where the chin clearly passes the bar, is very rare. It seems like the top part of the ROM is really that much harder than the middle section, and that is also what I found to be the case with normal pullups. What a lot of people call pullups aren't pullups, they're partial pullups. [link] [comments] |
| Is it normal to keep calluses as it is or do you guys try to avoid/get-rid of them? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:23 AM PST I've been doing pullups consistently over the past 5-7 years of my life and it's got to the point where calluses have become seemingly permenant on my hands. I personally don't see a problem with them and from what I know, calluses are helpful for protecting the skin and enhancing grips anyway. However, I also hear of many people trying to get rid of the calluses by trimming or wearing gloves etc. Just wondering if this is avoidance is a common practice among gym goers and callisthenic enthusiasts... or do most of you guys dont care either like I do? haha [link] [comments] |
| Will I improve more my strenght taking more secs on negatives instead of adding weight? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:05 AM PST |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 07:46 AM PST Below is my upper body workout (post warm-up): - Pull-ups (3x7) - Chin-ups (4x8) - Neutral grip pull-ups (3x5) - One arm dumbbell rows (3x12 each arm) - Bicep curls (3x10 each arm) - 90 degree pike push-ups (3x12) - Archer push-ups (3x5 each arm) - Rings support hold (3x30 sec) - Dumbbell shoulder press (4x12 each arm) - Dumbbell shrugs (4x20) Compound exercises: 2-2.5 mins of rest Isolations: 1-1.5 mins of rest This past week I added a rep to both pull-ups and chin-ups but this caused my muscles to fatigue on the last 1-2 sets of both. In addition, my biceps fatigue on curls during the final set, which I think might be because of the chin-ups. This brings my question: How can I improve my workout? Do I need more rest time? Do I slowly add reps or do I try to add a rep to an exercise each week? I'm a beginner with about a month of exercising AND proper eating, so I want to understand how progressive overload would work with calisthenics. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:33 AM PST This is my current schedule: I do this as a circuit with no rest (or minimal) between exercises and then rest for 120 seconds. I repeat it for four times. It takes me 30 minutes. I then rest two days and repeat the workout on the third day. During those 2 days of rest, I squat with a weight vest of 20kg/44lbs (for about 100 squats) and train my core. I also do some cardio like 4km running in 20 minutes (I try to go as fast as I can) These are the results of my last workout (by the way, I am 172cm/5'7ft tall and I weight 63kg/139lbs) - Dip 10 - 8 - 7 - 6 = 31 Each workout I try to improve even slightly the total repetition of every exercise, I succeded with like +2 or +1 each workout (aside for pull-up and chin-up, which I was not doing in perfect form, so now the total repetitions lowered) Thoughts? Do I train enough? Do you think I train in enough and my workout is effective? What could be improved? Thanks! Sorry for my english, it is not my mother language. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:11 AM PST I'm following the RR, and I'm enjoying it so far. But I wondered how to fit it around other sports. The bouldering gym is closed for now, and I can't even climb outdoors, but I typically climb at the gym on Mondays and Fridays (and every other week I climb Wednesday too). Climbing for 2 hours is demanding on the shoulders, back and core, so how could I combine RR AND climbing? [link] [comments] |
| How can I improve push up count? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:18 PM PST |
| Favourite online workout/programme for fat loss? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:37 AM PST Im literally overwhelmed by the content available on YouTube right now. Right from spot walking/jogging to LIIT to HIIT and dance workouts, the variety can sometimes be intimidating. What's the workout programe / challenge / handle on YouTube (or elsewhere!) That's helped you lose weight and get closer to your fitness goals? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2021 02:29 PM PST I've always considered myself to be in above average fitness but since May have been plagued by lower back pain. Due to COVID and my job, I haven't gotten proper PT, beyond some suggested workouts that I didn't benefit from. I don't let the pain keep me down unless it flairs up, then I'm out for a few days or more. But generally is tolerable pain. Well, I've been doing the RR for just a week and the core triplets have targeted my lower back enough so that I have zero pain. I legitimately had to stop a few days ago and just appreciate what no pain felt like for the first time in years. Thank you guys. [link] [comments] |
| Suggestions for bodyweight + barbell hybrid routine Posted: 24 Jan 2021 11:12 AM PST Before COVID I used to train powerlifting with a Stronglifts 5x5 full-body routine which focused on compound barbell lifts. Last fall I began calisthenics. The gym at my school has now safely reopened with proper precautions, so I would like to return to some barbell movements. I primarily miss barbell squats since legs are most difficult to train with bodyweight alone. However, I am really enjoying the athleticism of calisthenics. My PRs are archer pushups for 10 reps, pull-ups for 10 reps, and a 15s L-sit hold. I'd like to make a hybrid routine that could involve barbell squats as well as bodyweight movements like pull-ups. I also want to start training some higher-skill isometric holds like front lever. I would like to train 3 times a week. Any suggestions, pointers, or resources for how I can plan a hybrid routine? How can I train both powerlifting strength and skill-based calisthenics at the same time? Can I? I'm not really sure where to start. [link] [comments] |
| Best exercises to isolate gluteus maximus? Prone glute squeeze? Supine glute squeeze? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 06:13 AM PST Glute bridge and hip thrust are too much for me for now, that's mainly my hamstrings firing with those exercises. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2021 01:21 PM PST Title says it all, I spent years powerlifting and bodybuilding however since the gyms closed I've started BW and I don't think I'm going to look back. I am roughly the same weight I was when I was hitting the weights yet I feel stronger, and I'm more vascular.. I have straitions in my chest and shoulder for the first time ever. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 11:06 AM PST I'm new to calisthenics and I was wondering if this approach to my workout routine is appropriate for gaining muscles? The reason I decided to set this workout routine like this was because if it made sense then i know that I can workout for a whole year and not stumble and be confused on what routines to do after two months passed by. Basically I'll start off my workout with a dynamic stretch to get the blood flowing throughout my whole body. I wanted to do a full body routine that consists of doing inverted rows, push ups, dips and squats. In that order and in day one I'll start off at 10 reps in the first set then the next set I'll do 9 reps. Then the next sets I'll be counting down from 8,7,6 reps etc. I'll be working out 4 days out of the week and each time I workout I'll increase my reps by 2-5 reps. During this workout I'll chase the pump and every time I workout I'll add more tension to the muscles by increasing the reps. Every night I'll do 100 inverted rows and push ups but every week I'll increase the reps by 50. [link] [comments] |
| [18F] How do I build up muscle around the butt area in order to provide the illusion of bigger hips? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:30 AM PST I'm 4' 10" and have a weight of 105 pounds, so I'd say I'm pretty healthy in that aspect overall. However, my shoulders are really big in comparison to the rest of my body (36" compared to a waist of 24" and a hip of 31"). I've been reading that although it's not possible to really increase hips due to bone structure, I can give the illusion of bigger hips through building up my butt muscles. I just want a little bit more length to my hips to balance out my super wide shoulders. Is this true, and if it is, what exercises should I do to achieve this? [link] [comments] |
| Pseudo planche push-ups carryover to BL Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:06 AM PST Do PPPU have carry over to BL since BL and planche use similar muscles? I don't if I should work on weighted dips or pppu instead [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Jan 2021 11:27 PM PST Hey all, I'm new to bwf, but have been giving the RR my best shot in the last few weeks. However, I'm finding it tough not to get bored during the 90 second rests between all the exercises. Any tips on what to do? Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks! EDIT: Thanks for the advice everyone! I'll try to walk around and focus on breathing. I'm not using straps for anything at the moment (yet), but appreciate the tips. [link] [comments] |
| How to work on strict bar muscle up transition? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 07:39 AM PST Hey guys Strict bar muscle up has been one of my biggest goals ever since I started body weight training a couple months ago. I feel like the transition and moving my hands on the bar when I finish the pull up is the hardest hurdle for me, as i can do both pull ups and straight bar dips. Are there any progressions for the transition itself? [link] [comments] |
| Do carbs matter when it comes to bodyfat? Or is it just the calories? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 09:37 AM PST At the moment I'm having about 2000 calories a day with 140g carbs, 90g fat and 170g protein [link] [comments] |
| Split Routine after incorporating SSC advisable? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:54 PM PST *TLDR: Incorporating u/Antranik's Steady State Cycle into the RR made me question if changing to a split routine would give my muscled inadequate time to rest. * Last summer I got so bored with nothing to do around the house, that I actually started to get serious about working out for the first time. Never had issues staying in shape, but now well into my thirties it doesn't come easy anymore. I landed on this sub and found your great Recommended Routine, read the FAQ, gave it a try and stuck to it. Bought me a pair of gym rings and steadily made progress, training every other day with a rest day in between. My goal is mainly strength and my current routine with focus on proper form is:
Today I started incorporating u/Antranik's Steady State Cycle right after the Warm Up. It was great having such a full workout, but if I'm honest I'm not sure I can sustain it in the long run and the last thing I want is for the rest of my routine to be compromised by it. If I were to split the schedule the following way and repeat this every 2 days (working out 7 days a week is no problem now that I have all the time and too few hobbies): Day 1 (SSC + Upper Body)
Day 2 (Core + Legs)
*Is there sufficient separation in muscle groups between the two routines to count it as a rest day during the 'other muscle group' day? Would there be arguments to not do it this way? What would be more adviseable to do?* All contributions are greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Exercises for building endurance in the upper back (isolated thoracic spine extension) Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:53 PM PST Hey reddit, I have been doing bodyweight exercises for a while now to supplement my parkour and bouldering exercise regime. On the other hand, during the day, I sit around a lot, mostly at a desk. So one exercise that I want to add, is an exercise for the upper back - i.e. extension of the thoracic spine. I mostly want this for my posture, but I have also noticed recently that after my handstand practice, my shoulders and neck get sore, and I sometimes get headaches a day after the workout. Cracking my spine by extending the thoracic spine usually alleviates the headaches, but this is a work-around. Ideally, I would want the spine to not flex as much so that the vertebrae don't compress as much. Which is why I am looking for an exercise to strengthen the extension of my thoracic spine. Do you guys have any good exercises that target specifically the extension of the thoracic spine, if possible, with taking the lower back out of the equation? A lot of the common exercises for the upper back include the lumbar region, which I do not want. Many thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:39 PM PST I over developed my lower pecs awhile back, and have been focusing on a more balanced approach. I've been using parallettes when I'm doing push-ups because I enjoy the larger ROM. These aren't targeting my lower chest are they? There's a slight incline [link] [comments] |
| I'm seeking for the most efficient way to burn stomach fat and also build my body? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 12:37 PM PST I smoke weed a lot and i still hit the gym every morning to workout, my friends always tell me that I'm not getting bigger and they use it in taunting me. I'm confused, i was told to chill with my smoking for at least a week and just focus on my workout and see the difference. [link] [comments] |
| Is the false grip supposed to be uncomfortable? Posted: 24 Jan 2021 10:36 AM PST i got these pull up bar/gymnastics rings and i was told to use a false grip to hold onto them, but i cant hold a false grip for long, my grip isnt strong enough to hold for even 5 seconds. is it supposed to be difficult to do, do i have to work up to using a false grip or am i doing something wrong?
