    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 12:19 AM PST

    HEY YOU,

    Have you taken any recent pics of those sweet gains, your human flag, or those handstands off the wall you're finally holding?

    Do you have other bodyweight fitness accomplishments you've made and want the world to know about because your friends and family can't appreciate how hard L-sit progressions are??

    Note that we aren't limiting you to what we're discussing on the FAQ. Show us anything that blew your mind the moment you realized you had it. This may include aspects of: gymnastics, climbing, parkour, weight loss/gain, posture, etc. They are all more than welcome in this thread.


    We also want to remind you that we've been sharing your content on @redditbwf on both Instagram and Twitter. Help us grow our sub's social media in order to reach out to non-Redditors across these other platforms!

    My pullups are better than my chinups

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 09:04 AM PST

    Hey guys, so I've been doing bodyweight fitness for a year now. Ive weight lifted for years but ive only been training calisthenics for about a year. Anyway, I've noticed that chinups are significantly harder to do for me than pullups. Idk if its because of my mobility in my shoulder or because im more back dominant than arm dominate. Lmk what you guys think.

    Cheers!

    What time of the day do people do their routines?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 07:54 AM PST

    I was thinking about moving mine to the morning, but when I used to run I would hate doing exercise on an empty stomach

    Doing any kind of core exercise makes my lower back hurt

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 06:50 AM PST

    Literally any kind of core exercise, be it sit-ups, planks, crunches, bicycle crunches, etc. Hurts my lower back. I know it's because core exercises puts stress on the lumbar spine if done incorrectly, but I'm sure I used proper techniques for all of them. How can I make my lower back not hurt when doing core exercises?

    Really difficult core exercises?

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 12:50 AM PST

    I've gotten to the point now where the usual stuff like planks and ab rolling is nowhere near as difficult as it used to be. I've started hanging leg raises/toe-to-bars but they only seem to be hitting the bottom of my core. Can someone recommend some difficult exercises for strength building? Thanks!

    Both advanced ring exercises and simpler weighted versions

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 10:02 AM PST

    I like to work on both the different ring progressions as well as weighted versions of simpler body weight exercises, but I've never really programmed it. My approach has been to do it in roughly 4-8 week blocks where I'll focus on the different ring progressions, and then once I start getting bored or my progress plateaus I'll switch to a weighted version of a lower progression. I'll do that for another month or two until I get bored again and switch back. The question is for those who work on both, how do you program it? Do you do it in large training blocks like I'm doing? I've always feared that in the period where I'm just working on the weighted simpler exercise that I'm losing some of the skill component that I get from the more advanced exercises. Would I be better off alternating daily or weekly (instead of monthly) so that I'm not losing ground on one or the other?

    Best Bodyweight/Rings/Calisthenics Workout Plans

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 08:06 AM PST

    Hey guys, I want to transition to a primarily bodyweight training plan!!

    I have working out at the gym for some years and have some experience with pull ups, chin ups and dips. I do easily 10+ in all of those exercises.

    I was wondering what workout plans you guys would recommend for someone like me who is intermediate-advanced at the gym and wants to start doing more of a bodyweight/rings/calisthenics workout routine!

    I started doing Power Flow, Vinyasa Yoga, 2/3x per week and wanted a strength routine to do at the same time

    Thank you in advance!!

    Crazy thumb

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 04:44 AM PST

    Hi everyone

    So until now I trained exclusively for pull ups and I recently started incorporating chin ups. I noticed that at some point, typically the second set (so fairly early), and only during chin ups, my thumb on my non dominant hand starts to feel numb, almost paralysed, which results in an uncomfortable grip with only four fingers to hold me up.

    Is it a form issue ? Is my grip too weak ? I can dead hang for about 1 minute.

    Thank you in advance

    Free standing pull up bar

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 07:46 AM PST

    Hi all

    Any recommendations for a good free standing pull up bar?

    I'm putting it up in a garden cabin and can't screw anything to walls ceiling so it needs to be free standing.

    I like the look of the gravity fitness and the pull up mate models but worried they might be a bit wobbly

    Anyone have any experience of the gravity or pull up mate versions?

    Or any other recommendations?

    Thanks

    Tingling feeling in elbow when doing pushups

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 12:38 PM PST

    I have a tingling feeling (on my tendons?) in both of my elbows when doing pushups. The feeling goes away when my arms relax or become straight. I do not get this feeling when lifting weights or any other exercises but only during pushups. Does anyone know what causes it? It doesn't hurt at all but is pretty uncomfortable.

    If I were to take a wild guess, I think it's the ulnar nerve? Similar kind of feeling when hitting a funny bone.

    Training after herniated discs, atrophy, to avoid re-injury

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 12:34 PM PST

    What have you done to combat the above, after having symptoms of cervical disc issues? Do you focus more on or less on certain areas? Do you stretch more? Insights, please.

    From 7 to 2 muslce ups in a week

    Posted: 14 Feb 2021 08:48 AM PST

    Yes, you read it correctly, somehow I forgot how to muscle up.

    I've been training calisthenics for about 6 months (but not really consistent, last three months I was pretty consistent, tho). Last week (Saturday) I tried to do my first muslce up and somehow I succeeded, then while I was on top of the bar I thought I should go for another one, and I succeeded again and again and again and I ended up doing 7 muscle ups in a row; I was over the moon. Then, due to the bad weather this week, I was forced to train at home, I did some pullups and some suspension training with trx. Today I went to the park again just to try some muscle ups, and I barely did two in a row with pretty bad form, tried to do some pullups, and I was almost struggling with 10 pullups. What happened? I did a push training yesterday, could that affect my performance as I didn't do any exercise 2 days before doing my first muscle ups.

    In this week I did gain around 2kg (4,4lbs) of weight.

    RR Time commitment struggles

    Posted: 13 Feb 2021 06:07 PM PST

    I've been struggling doing the RR routine because it takes me 1+ hours to complete. As a working father, the time commitment makes it so easy to push it off for the next day. I find myself doing the routine 2 times a week. Should I break up the routine into smaller workouts during the week? My concerns with an ectomorph body type is that I might not get gainz if I work out too often. This is important to me because my name is Chad.

    Happy Valentine's Day best workout. You'll need two bodies to do it though. Do you use heavy weight in your workouts, guys?
