| Slowing tempo as a way to add difficulty in lieu of adding weight. Posted: 01 Feb 2021 12:53 AM PST What are people's views on slowing down the tempo of your reps - and therefore increasing time under tension - as a way to add difficulty in a progression? The tempo prescribed by the RR IS 10X0, so would there be value in building up to 20X0 and 30X0 and so on? Or even replacing the explosive phase with a slow movement? Assuming the goal is hypertrophy and this is used as a substitute to adding weight to pull-ups, push-ups and dips etc. Thanks EDIT: Thanks for the interesting and varied responses guys. This is why this community is the best! [link] [comments] |
| When people say "exercises on rings will bulletproof shoulders" what does it mean? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 05:14 AM PST the instability from rings will make the shoulders work harder to stabilize the movement, can someone explain the biomechanics into this? are side delts the muscle being used to keep the arm stable?

| Is intra-abdominal pressure a crutch for core exercises? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 03:33 AM PST I was doing my hollow-body holds the other day and realised I was using intra-abdominal pressure (when you lock in breath to stabilise the core) to assist. I tried to breathe normally during my remaining sets to rely solely on my abs and the exercise became much more difficult. I've never read any advice on whether IAP should be used or not, but I guess I've always done it. [link] [comments] |
| We developed an AI Fitness app detecting bodyweight exercises automatically Posted: 01 Feb 2021 08:37 AM PST Hi, we are a company researching AI fields. We have been working on a concept applying machine learning to fitness apps for about eight months. Briefly, our model can recognize 60+ bodyweight exercises by tracking more than 20 joints including the distance of the joints to the camera on the user using the front camera. In other words, we can count reps automatically throughout a user's workout session. We integrated that model into our app, Rivvy. Rivvy's AI model and its processor are coded by top-notch engineers, three of whom have worked on some of the top apps in the health categories. All of the exercise videos are recorded in our studio by professional trainers and voiced by a professional vocalist. Today, most popular fitness apps play a short clip showing you the move or position, then leaving it up to the user to figure it out from there. On the other hand, Rivvy adapts to the user and only moves on when the user performs the exercises. We shared this to show you how AI can change fitness apps' future rather than just advertising. It makes us very happy to listen to your suggestions or questions.

| Can you do stretching in the morning and working out in the evening? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 10:38 AM PST Yo, I was wondering if stretching in the morning can hurt my progress in the evening workout. I know that you mustn't do static stretching right before the workout, but can u do it in the early morning? [link] [comments] |
| Today was my first day of bodyweight training Posted: 01 Feb 2021 11:05 AM PST I have been lurking here for some time now and I have decided that today was going to be my first day training. All your stories and videos are great inspiration and I will record my progress for the same reasons. Hopefully I can sometime in the future look back and see how much I have progressed :D Thank you for getting me started!

| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 03:09 AM PST I do not know if this fits but I'm graduating this year (yay) I have practiced gymnastics since I was nine, and calisthenics since 3 years ago, I can Straddle Planche, Straddle front lever, Back lever and press to Handstand are my best ones, I am not the brightest, and I do not really want to study for 4 years then spend the rest of my life behind a desk, What should I do? I have no idea where I am heading right now, I have talked to my parents about not going to university and they are not against it but they do not approve either. Does anyone have any ideas for what I can do with my life? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 09:24 AM PST I have been using http://www.startbodyweight.com/p/plank-progression.html's progression, and am doing the arm and leg lift plank. He wants you to hold each side for 30 sec., progressing up to 60 sec. When I look for form tips online, I only see the version where you alternate back and forth several times, without holding it out. Is there a particular version that is better? I can do this on both sides for 35 sec. each, but I wonder if I should continue holding it out until I get to 60 sec., or start doing some of the alternating versions I see online.

| Iron Wolf — training method/program Posted: 01 Feb 2021 09:41 AM PST Hello Reddit it's, i came across Iron Wolf on YouTube and I got to say this guy is a beast, after 8 months of RR I willing to shake things up and do one of his workouts. I'm December he published a "Challenge" (a 30 day workout routine) but I can't find the actual PDFs linked in the video as the original links expired. Does anyone here happen to have some of this routines saved somewhere where I can see them? (PDF, Excel, spreadsheets whatever) [link] [comments] |
| How to format/program tight muscle release? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 06:19 AM PST I know a lot of the time, you guys have issues with tight muscles, ankle dorsiflexion, hips, traps etc etc. As a whole, stretching isn't enough right? Just general as a whole flexibility/releasing tight/taut muscles. When I do the routine, how should I do it? Scenario 1: Myofascial release full body. Then, do full body flexibility/mobility. Scenario 2: Myofascial release 1 muscle, flexibility/mobility on that 1 muscle. Repeat for all affected muscles. Which one? In scenario 1, I fear that my by the time I get to release my last muscle, the first muscle I released would've tightened up again and flexibility/mobility wouldn't work since too much time has passed? What do you think? Thanks. EDIT: The concept about the muscles tightening up after myofascial release, I'm not sure. I just thought it up, I don't know about the time frames. (If it take 10 minutes or 5 hours afterwards to tighten back up) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 08:12 AM PST Hey all, I wanted to ask you guys some questions on the above exercises: 1) I can do a human flag but not straight (legs are slightly up), what is a good exercise to improve that and get straight? 2) In the front lever I can hold for like 2 seconds straight and then I am down, with the tuck front lever it is very easy, is there some exercise that can make it better for me?

| Should I keep doing weighted pull ups or should I switch it up? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 02:40 AM PST I have been doing full body cycles during which I do 4x8 pull ups. On my 2 last workouts I have weighed myself down for the first time with 5kg and yesterday I did 10kg. Both times I was able to complete my 4x8 pull ups but nearly failed on the last rep with the 10kg. Should I keep doing weighted pull ups? Increase the weight? People have told me they only do weighted pull ups intermittently. What's your opinion? [link] [comments] |
| By following the BWF Primer Guide is it possible to get lean mass or it's not enough? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 11:10 AM PST Hi! I've finished the 14 days of the BWF Primer and now I will start the 3 sets of everything (day 14). By doing that, is it enough to gain muscle mass with a caloric surplus? [link] [comments] |
| Lower body strength without caloric surplus? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 03:41 AM PST Hi everyone! My name is Daniel and I am a 23 yr old male. I had been lifting weights heavily since I am 16 and then due to covid I moved to bodyweight training and ended up giving that up too and replacing it with vinyasa yoga classes. Now since 3 months ago I started doing ashtanga which I find amazing for upper strength and it feels incredible afterwards. The thing is I have always had really small/flat and weak glutes so I would always train them a lot when weight lifting. As ashtanga (at least the primary series) has literally no lower body strength exercises I found myself waking up this week with literally the flattest butt you can imagine (my tailbone pops out more than my glutes do!) and also all that stretching of the hamstrings with no strength is causing injuries which is the initial reason why I wanted to look into it. I have been incorporating a couple of bodyweight lower strength sessions a week with bands to stop having weak/flat glutes and I was wondering whether I can build a bit of a butt (something decent) without going into a caloric surplus which I don´t want to do (I have done this bulking and cutting thing for over 6 years). Thank you so much and hope my explanation makes kinda sense!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 08:07 AM PST I've been doing ring dips and around a week or two ago, I switched to bulgarian ring dips as I've read they were harder than dips, but I find them just as easy or maybe easier than dips. My anterior delts are definitely getting a workout, but my chest and triceps don't seem too taxed by them. Is there another variation which would make dips harder other than weighted dips?

| Newbie gains or good genetics? Posted: 01 Feb 2021 10:09 AM PST Hey guys I wanted to ask something. I started like 3 weeks ago with push ups because of school. I don't do any sports rn because of corona but I haven't really done anything for the last 3 years. I'm 16 5'9 185lbs and when I started I could do 12 with effort. Now I can do with no problem at least 20 with 3 sets and then do that again after like a 10min pause. I did push ups once a week for the past 3 weeks but yesterday I was shocked because I didn't know how I could do so many push ups without even like trying. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 10:07 AM PST Hi all, sorry if there's already a post about this, I just couldn't find it. Placing your hands lower in a pushup is what activates more of your upper chest, right? And this goes for pushups of all angles, right? I believe a certain fitness YouTube whose name i won't say is misleading people to believe that doing decline pushups "with your hands placed lower" is how you activate more lower chest, and is therefore a lower chest workout. Thanks and sorry again if I accidentally broke a rule. [link] [comments] |
| Scapular Pulls and Arch Hangs harder than Pull-ups Posted: 01 Feb 2021 06:20 AM PST I've been slowly progressing on pull-ups over the past 6 months, and am now at 3x6 clean sets - all the way down, entirely hanging before going back up again. Earlier today I tried the scapular pulls and arch hangs from the RR for the first time, which I understand to be easier steps in the progression, and have a difficult time with both, and find the scapular pulls impossible in particular. Does anyone have suggestions here or might have thoughts on what is going on? My current guess is that my scapula in particular is weaker than the other muscles involved in the pull-up, but I'd welcome advice here as well as what I should be doing to solve for this.

| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 10:02 AM PST Hi guys, 20M here. I've been lurking this subreddit for a few months, but this is my first ever post here. I started calisthenics/bodyweight training back in March 2020, at the beginning of the first lockdown (Italy). I was a complete noobie, and I made a lot of mistakes (training same muscle groups on consecutive days etc etc..), but I eventually started to learn how to properly train thanks to this subreddit and a lot of fitness ytbers. I started training consistently (and properly) in June probably, then I stopped in September cause of school, cause I wasn't able to get enough sleep (during summer I took the habit of training at around 2/3 am). I started training again on January 1st. I currently just train my upper body, 3 times a week. I know I should train legs too but I kinda played football my whole life, so I'm pretty far from having chicken legs. This is my current routine: (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) For the last 5 exercises I do something I've seen on AthleanX's channel. I basically do archer push ups for 10 seconds, rest 20 seconds, do them again for 10 seconds, rest 20 seconds etc.. until I do 4 sets, then I start doing the other 4 exercises with the same method. (10 minutes total) I'd like to learn how to do full planche push ups and handstand push ups, but I guess I need to work on my shoulders more for that one. Is this a solid routine? Or it's just completely messed up? Feel free to leave any kind of feedback and Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Apple Watch Fitness Friends competition Posted: 01 Feb 2021 02:25 AM PST Does anyone want to add each other via the Fitness app and compete / keep each other motivated? ☺️ [link] [comments] |
| Home workout for someone that can’t escape being Skinny fat? (Help..) Posted: 01 Feb 2021 09:35 AM PST I'm a 21 year old guy that went through major weight loss (26 kgs) back in 2017. Ever since then, my weight has been pretty much the same, although I'm unhappy with my body. I've been stuck trying to lose more weight hoping it'll do anything, but I still hate my body and am unhappy with it. I weigh 80 kgs and my height is 1.83/61 I just can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the bit of extra fat in the lower part of my belly and to actually tone my body. I keep trying and nothing works. My biggest issue in the past has been being afraid of eating calories when trying to bulk. I'm just afraid that if I do the workouts and eat I'll get fat again and I just can't seem to trust the process. About two months ago I decided I'm gonna go for it and committed fully, but a month later gyms closed and I was left anxious about the fact that I gained a few pounds and don't see any improvement. During lockdown I went back to under-eating and barely doing any sports. I could really use some guidance as to what I should do. Is there a plan I can follow that'll help me start working on my body without a gym, and then to continue once gyms open? I want honest and brutal advice. I'm really tired of this endless loop I'm in. How my body looks: Picture If there's a more suitable subreddit for this, please tell me about it, and thank you for reading [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Feb 2021 01:20 PM PST This is a pretty odd thing I noticed that is really bothering me. It's only in my left ankle and it only happens when its the back leg of the split squat. Is it some kind of impingement? Has anybody else has dealt with this ? [link] [comments] |
| What's your favorite way to cooldown? Posted: 31 Jan 2021 11:05 PM PST As much as we hate it, we all know that the experts recommend we cooldown and even static stretch after a workout. I've heard some experts say to just jump right into stretching. Some say that it's sort of like a warm up, but you're slowing down instead of speeding up. One personal trainer at a gym I used to work at said to just hop in the hot tub after a workout and call it good (they got reprimanded after I nearly had to pull that patron out of the hot tub due to heat exhaustion/dehydration). So I'm curious, and even though I'm sure Google could give me plenty of answers from overworked, underpaid journalists at Buzzfeed and Greatist, I felt like polling you guys. So what do you do for cooling down after a workout? Slow cardio? Stretching? Hulu marathon and a Gatorade? What's your favorite way to cooldown after a workout? [link] [comments] |
