| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 04:32 AM PST Before/After pictures: https://imgur.com/a/bP25B0Z Hello there! I wanted to share with you all my progress after completing Body by Rings, the 18 weeks program made by FitnessFAQs. I really enjoyed the routine and I think I got pretty good results from it. It took me a while to get used to the high amount of volume, though, coming from the RR. Also, I struggled with some of the more advanced pull progressions, like archer chin-ups, but overall I would say my strength levels have increased in both push and pull exercises. Body by Rings is meant to be a hypertrophy focused routine, and that was my goal. I started at 71 kg and after the 18 weeks I am at 75 kg (176cm), which I am pretty happy with. I eat a plant based diet, so a lot of beans, chickpeas, tofu, seitan, seeds, oats, etc. I didn't track my calorie intake, I just made sure I got around 30 to 40 grams of protein per meal, with plenty of greens and brown rice as well. When it comes to rest, I know I could have done better. Most days I get 6-7 hours of sleep, which I think made an impact on my energy levels. I wanted to ask you guys about what should be my next step: I was thinking about going back to the RR, but adding weight this time and doing 4 or 5 sets instead of 3, and combining it with a couple of push/pull days, so my week would look like this: Monday: Yoga and mobility work Tuesday: RR with weights Wednesday: Yoga and mobility work Thursday: RR with weights Friday: Rest day Saturday: Push Sunday: Pull What do you guys think? My goal is still to gain a little bit of weight, do you think I'll be getting enough volume for that? Thank you for taking your time to read this! [link] [comments] |
| You don't have to look ripped to be proud of your progress Posted: 29 Jan 2021 09:36 AM PST I think this deserves saying. If you're making progress, if you're feeling strong, you should be damned proud of yourself. I am not ripped. Not at all. But, I did my first fully clean archer pull up last night. And, I'm proud as hell of that. Does it show in the mirror? Nope. I still like a bit pudgy. But, I am inching closer to front lever every day, and I can now do a free handstand. I'm not saying this to brag (but for real, I am proud :D) I'm saying this, because it's easy to see images of people on this sub and compare yourself. I've got nothing against people posting pictures of their progress. They should be damned proud. But, I know it's easy to feel like your progress isn't as important or exciting compared to that kind of really visible progress. Your progress IS IMPORTANT and it's AWESOME! Celebrate what you've done so far and be excited for the future. If that results in a six pack, then hell yeah. If it doesn't, it's still a super awesome journey that will no doubt improve your life.

| Has anyone here used a floor suction sit-up bar? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 10:13 PM PST I'm looking to buy one of these floor suction sit-up bars (Flyfan Portable Floor Sit Up Bar, Super Strong Suction Sit Up Assistant Device with 2 Suction Cups, Abs Master Pro Easy for Abdominal Training https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BNR4ZGK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ZR8P99FCAZR670JZ26KD) I want to use it for Nordic curls but I'm skeptical that they work. Has anyone used one? Are they any good? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 12:31 PM PST Hey, i really need help. Been stuck on pull ups(5-10) for like a 6 months. I used to do pull ups like just grab a bar and go. About 6 months ago i started to focus on my form and mostly on my LATS. And for the love of god i just cant activate lats. No matter what i do. Arched back, hollow body, squezzing the bar, focusing on my scapula. The funny thing is that i can squezze more than 9-10. And i know i can activate my lats bcs i had PT test at Police academy where we did pull ups. And Idk what i did or if it was adrenaline that i wanted to do most pull ups(which i did) i just grabed the bar and went. Got to 10 and man i felt like feather did another 5 pull ups and and wanted to continue knewing i could reach 20 but they said it was enough( standard is 12). After that my lats when on fire and i know with their power i can Bang 20 pullups but since then i have been trying for 6 months and i just cant activate them and have problem to get 10 reps( which is honestly shitty form cuz i ran out of strenght instantly). Ps : sorry for the long post xD [link] [comments] |
| What to do after I max out weighted planks? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 12:51 AM PST Last year I started doing weighted planks in the following format. 3 sets, 30 - 60 seconds. If I can do all 3 sets for 60 seconds, then I'll increase the weight next time by 5 - 10 lbs. I stayed at 45lbs for 8 sessions and jumped to 90 lbs after a few sessions at 50lbs. This was an insane jump and I decided to stop doing weighted planks. I didn't think it was doing anything for me anymore. Now that I am able to go back to the gym, I want to do weighted planks but I have no idea on what I should progress to once I get back to 90lbs. Also adding more weight just seems ridiculous. Got any ideas? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 01:28 AM PST A week ago I did my first ring muscle up, but I don't know how I get down from the muscle up, is it a technique or do I miss muscle mass? And does anyone know a new goal, it can be a long term goal? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:21 AM PST I've been on the RR for a few months, worked out regularly on my own routine for months before that, and I've been looking for something more. Came across a ring-focused routine similar to body by rings that I'm wanting to try out. It's 4 days a week, 2 push days 2 pull days. It doesn't have a leg day, so I'll probably throw in the RR leg workouts 3 times a week. I'm training to join the military, so I also want to include a day of high-volume calisthenics (toned-down version of what this guy does), and three runs/cycles/whatever a week. And obviously a lot of daily stretching, and an in-check diet. Pretty much, was thinking of this: Day 1: Push,legs Day 2: Pull, run Day 3: Push, cycle Day 4: Pull, legs Day 5: Run or rest Day 6: high-volume Day 7: rest How does this look to any of you experienced people out there? Is adding a day of burpee torcher overkill - am I asking to get injured? My biggest worry is a tendon injury or something like that that'll sideline me for months. Appreciate any and all input. Peace. note - I've been doing 3 days a week of RR and 3 days a week of run/cycling for months [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 11:16 AM PST I'd love to hear if any of you have made your boobs get more perky with weight loss and building muscle as I've heard that happen for many, and therefore know it is for some reason possible as I have screenshotted more than 60 cases of this. I KNOW IT SOESNT HAPPEN FOR MANY but I would really really appreciate if you DIDNT write any negative experiences or theories, even facts. I know it's out there, I just want to know from those of you that have managed to make it go the other way I'm depressed and suicidal and literally cannot take one more negative thing [link] [comments] |
| Can't bring myself to soreness when working out exclusively with my own weight? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:59 AM PST This is pretty weird and I am not quite sure why it's happening, but whenever I decide to work out strictly with my own weight, doing regular, incline, diamond etc. pushups, I get relatively tired, but it feels like my body brushes off everything I've done around 2 hours after the workout. Am I not training hard enough? I always try to do reps until failure, so I am not quite sure why would this happen. [link] [comments] |
| What is the most effective cardio? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:50 AM PST These forms of exercise include things like jogging, bicycling, and power walking, stair climbing, rowing, elliptical. Start out slowly and then increase your intensity as you become adjusted to your new routine. If you engage in a type of cardio exercise, you should do it for a full 10 minutes at a time to get the maximum benefit from it. If you carry out moderate-intensity workouts, such as a brisk walk, then 30 minutes every day will provide you with various health benefits. Try to do 30 minutes in low-intensity cardio activities five days a week. As your fitness level improves, take advantage of the hand weights while you jog, walk, or do aerobics. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 07:45 AM PST Hey, what do you guys think of the routine from this vid? They've released a couple before, but this is their newest/ most "updated" one. Any major problems? Seeing if I want to incorporate exercises from here into my daily routine (or possibly adopting the routine for a bit). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4vqhKN_0ZA&ab_channel=BuffDudes [link] [comments] |
| If you also run, how do you combine running and strength training within one workout plan? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 09:42 AM PST I'm a runner and do strength training, but have not yet found a really nice way to integrate the two in a way that's neither too much nor too little. How do you do it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 06:40 AM PST so I use weights to work out 3-4xs per week but, I have a power tower in my garage. Every time I go to my garage (2-3xs daily, normally with hours between) I do pull-ups to failure and dips to failure (chin-ups if I can't do a pull up anymore). Am I wasting my time (not spending it most effectively?) by not making this a part of isolation exercises or taking too much rest time in between or does anyone think this is helpful?

| I cant do rows, the position feels very awkward .what should I do ? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 04:49 AM PST I can do a few chinups and only a single pullup, I think this is since I have never actually done any rows. Whenever trying to set up my incline row , I slide down below the bar till the bar is over my eyes and it's just weird pulling from that angle , what do I do? [link] [comments] |
| [NeedAdvice] Using body-weight exercise or a fitness tool but using the same technic? Posted: 29 Jan 2021 04:33 AM PST Hi guys I have a question and i want your help! I want for 2021 to start exercising but because of COVID the gyms are still closed. I want something using body weight exercise or a fitness tool but using the same technic. I don't want to put extra weight or other doing a lot of cardio. I did some research for both Technics and I found this device but first I want to ask you guys until I make the purchase. The device is called frog fitness (https://frogfitnesssystems.com ) and I want to know if it's ok for what I want or I need something else? Please let me know what you think! Thanks!

| Can't bring get legs low enough for planche Posted: 28 Jan 2021 07:08 PM PST Hey, guys, I'm 14 and I started working out with callisthenics last August. Recently I've been trying to unlock the bent arm planche. I can already do L sit and advanced tuck planche. What muscles do I need to work on or what do I need to work on in general to get my legs low enough for a proper bent arm planche? When I bring it lower past a certain point I fall. Do I need to work my lower back muscles? Thanks and god bless. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 10:57 PM PST Other than dead hangs does anyone have suggestions for ways to build grip strength with only the same equipment used in BWF? I looked in r/GripTraining. But everything I see there uses weights. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Pelican Curls and Shoulder mobility Posted: 28 Jan 2021 07:42 PM PST So as the title says i think the pelican curl is a cool skill and i want to learn this. My plan is by starting with reduced ROM I have a pullup bar and rings that i can adjust for about 75-80% ROM. In addition to this i can set to the rings high on the tree or a bar, or use something else and eventually get 100% of the ROM. Before i can do any of these, i need one thing. That is mobility. I think that while pelican curls are supposed to be directly behind me, I could potentially also make them wider right, not wide but sort of diagonolly behind me, or is that making it easier. I lack the mobility to correctly position my hands for a pelican curl or even a partial one using paralettes and im wondering how i can get the correct mobility for this exercise. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 09:10 PM PST Hi, I can do about 4 press and 3 pull RESTED, and in my recent trainings I've doing press and pull on the same set (when i get on the FL position after the press, I do a pull up) but I only can do 2 of then.I was thinking if is better i do 2 sets, one of press qnd the other of pulls.What vou guys think that ir best?Compound of separated exercises for FL training?

| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 05:49 AM PST I'm starting Foundation One of GymnasticBodies on Monday and the very first progression for learning the Manna is the tuck up. The issue here is that I can't do a single tuck up. Are there any other ab exercises that will help me build the strength to do a tuck up? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jan 2021 01:15 AM PST I'm a female who wants to get into lifting and was hoping to get some weights to work out at home. I want to target my core/stomach as this is the place I need to tone up on more. I was hoping to use YouTube tutorials to work out at home and was just after some advice on what weights I should buy.

| Why is front lever raises so difficult to me Posted: 28 Jan 2021 02:12 PM PST Well this probably sounds stupid but I can hold a 7 seconds good form front lever but when I try to do a set of 10 front lever raises I can barely do 4. Why? I can do 24 pull ups in a row but an exercise that is suppose to be easier than FL I can't. What progressions can I do for increase reps and strength in this exercise? I tried to do more reps but I cannot progress attempting this exercise, please help. [link] [comments] |
