| I don't feel like an old man anymore! Posted: 14 Feb 2021 04:48 PM PST I'm pushing 40 and I haven't really exercised much since stopping team sports in my 20s. A few years ago my physio told me I had the body of an 80 year old while he was treating me for aches, pains and back twinges. I hadn't had any issues in a while and I was feeling okayish, so I started up the recommended routine with some yoga on off days. Thanks to a lot of good advice on here, I knew to take it slow in the beginning and not try and be a hero. I had pretty bad DOMS at the start, so I only did 1 or 2 sets of the exercises once a week, working up to 3 sets of each exercise 2-3 times a week, and even starting down some of the progressions. A couple of months in and for the first time in years my body feels OK. I still feel strains in my back, but they don't instantly turn into twinges, and I'm definitely feeling the core strength improvements towards the end of a long day sitting at the computer. I've still got a long way to go, but I wanted to say thanks. It's good to know that what I'm doing is making a real difference, and the advice I've seen around here has been amazing both for my motivation, but also for having a mature approach to fitness and progression. Thanks :) [link] [comments] |
| How do you correct muscle asymmetry? Posted: 15 Feb 2021 10:15 AM PST When is asymmetry an issue and should correcting the asymmetry be the focus when returning to a workout regimen? Will this self- correct? Currently my biceps have the difference of 1.5 inches. Although the difference is visually noticeable, I'm not sure if this should be a concern. I have a 30 pound baby that I carry around countless hours a day. I try to switch arms frequently but my right arm fatigues quickly which causes me to favor my left. Also, my neck rotation varies by about 4 inches. I can turn my head to look over my right shoulder but I can't turn my head to look past the front of my left shoulder. I've only had this issue since having a baby and I believe it is from how I have held him. Can this be corrected by stretching? [link] [comments] |
| At Home Upper Body Workout for strength and mass Posted: 15 Feb 2021 05:11 AM PST I made this total upper body workout requiring no equipments at all. Give it a shot Upper Body Workout at home [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Feb 2021 06:46 AM PST First time trying this exercise, saw a video online and tried it tonight. Not quite straight, and was able to hold this position for about 3 seconds, not bad for an old dude 💪. Will keep working on my form and I'm sure the time will increase as i get more efficient with the move. Question for those that can perform it, what exercises or stretches helped you?

| Finally getting back into the groove Posted: 15 Feb 2021 08:48 AM PST After some neglect in my training and a rather prolonged period of illness, I'm finally getting back into a rhythm of calisthenics. Following some research into "the big six", I'm focusing on some basic stuff for now to get back into shape. However, I'm still not the best, and I have to work, so I'm trying to use my work breaks to get in small amounts of exercise even I can. Typically a break will include 2 sets that include 5 push-ups, pike push-ups, crunches, leg lifts, and squats as well as 10 bridges, vertical pull-ups, and a 10 second plank. I tend to add 1 or 2 more to each if I'm feeling really good. On a good day I can get three of these in before getting worn out. I've so far behind able to keep some effort in every weekday for about 2 weeks. Given that this is currently my limit but getting better, I'm wondering if I should add any additional moves to my breaks. [link] [comments] |
| Does your heart rate stay high after you exercise and rested? Posted: 15 Feb 2021 11:24 AM PST Idk y my heart rate is so high after I stopped exercise and relaxed for 30 mins? Is this natural? [link] [comments] |
| Headaches Morning After Recommended Routine Posted: 15 Feb 2021 09:31 AM PST I have been getting killer tension headaches on the left side of my head the morning after doing the RR. I've been practicing the RR since April with good results. I sustained a left shoulder injury a couple of months back which is still nagging. I feel like the headaches are generated from a tight trapezius pulling on the neck. Anyone else struggle with this? Any suggestions on rehabbing? I've searched and it doesn't seem headaches are common injuries in this forum. [link] [comments] |
| How far off my first pull up am I? Posted: 15 Feb 2021 09:16 AM PST I"m M43 75kg with no background in BWF or lifting. I've been training for about three months now taking it easy to avoid injury (had a couple of niggles). I started from a pretty low strength base. I vaguely follow the Vetrano Convict Conditioning program where i just do one exercise a day (pushups, pullups, bridges, leg raises, squats). I no i could progress faster but with a busy job and 2 young kids this suits me great as I only need to find 10-15 mins a day to workout. Currently I"m doing 3 sets of 9 negative pull ups. These are pretty controlled with the first ones running at 3-4 seconds...last couple i tend to drop a bit quicker. How far off do you think i am hitting my first pullup? Still feels quite a way off when I try to be honest! I dont have any bands but recently bought some rings so i'll try and add in some aussie rows once a week too. Any other tips to help me progress?

| One arm pullup negatives volume Posted: 15 Feb 2021 08:44 AM PST I can usually only perform around 1/2 one arm pullups per arm per workout. I do the rest of my OAP training using negatives (4 sets of 4-6 negatives). I'm worried because I've given myself tendonitis before from OAP training when I was much weaker... I've tried to keep it light this time by keeping these sessions to once a week and training with weighted pullups for the other sessions. Do we think this is going to be enough volume to progress to sets of multiple OAP reps? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Feb 2021 11:57 AM PST I can do around 11 pullups in 1 set. (11-10-8) in 3 sets, should I start doing weighted pullups for work up to 3x 15 bodyweight first? [link] [comments] |
| Simple hypertrophy routine needed Posted: 15 Feb 2021 11:39 AM PST Hey guys, so i was wondering if it is possible to do a simple push/pull and gain muscle mass, endurance and skills aren't my main focus at the moment. I can do 20 push-ups max and 4 pull ups max. Example : Push: push-ups and dips. 8 sets of 12 for both Pull: pull ups and australian rows. 8 sets of 3 for the pull-ups and 8 sets of 12 for the rows. Any sugestions let me know. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Feb 2021 11:12 AM PST I know I will lose strength that's part of cutting but ideally I'd like to minimise the loss. Additionally I'm going to lose body mass so the moves I do currently should I expect them to get easier/can do more reps? Eg. I can currently do 3x12 pull ups, if I cut will that number go up or down? Does anyone have any guidance on working out whilst hungry, getting energy for workouts, how to minimise losses [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Feb 2021 10:57 AM PST Almost everything I learned in standing fight comes from tao do jeet kune do book; I've made a 3 min video of my last 2hour per day training, I would appreciate any comments/critics really much! Here it is: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLId0n8lWLS/?igshid=nfpi1c367huh If you can comment in the video page better yet cause I got no comments whatsoever and that could start a good discussion. Thanks a lot, and I'm sorry about my bad English. [link] [comments] |
| Low-impact, low movement cardio suggestions? Posted: 15 Feb 2021 06:07 AM PST I have probably the world's least helpful neurologist. I have a condition that basically means the pressure in my skull is too high. Doc says weight loss is the best solution. When I asked him how I was supposed to lose weight when I can't even hardly walk or bend or do anything that causes me physical exertion without getting a migraine or feeling dizzy or like I'm numb all over and need to puke he just said "find a way, just keep trying" So that's what I'm working with. I need to find exercises that are low-impact and allow me to keep my head in relatively the same position, preferably upright. The exercises must be able to be done at home as everything is locked down right now due to COVID and I live half an hour out in the sticks anyways. I have tried a few things: -Running/walking. I used to like walking/running but it just exerts me too quickly now and I end up on the couch pretty useless due to headaches. Feels like my head's gonna pop lol. -Situps/crunches. This was a bad idea for me to try, in hindsight. You ever see those drinking bird toys? Yeah that's me if I'm not careful lmao -Just doing nothing and hoping that changing my eating habits will be enough for weight loss. This did not quite sit well with me... While in theory much of weight loss is achieved through a change in diet, I do miss the other benefits of exercising. In general I felt more energized and less shitty about everything as long as I could move. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago and I've spent a lot of time wallowing in self-pity and being angry at my body. I feel like I'm ready to try and take myself back. I just need some help to get there, and because I'm not really getting much help from those in my real life, I'm hoping y'all will have some ideas here. Will you help me? [link] [comments] |

| Opinion: Should I switch from Mark Lauren's Master Class to Recommended Routine Posted: 15 Feb 2021 08:36 AM PST Hello Guys, currently, I am at the beginning of week 7 of 10 of Mark Lauren's "Master Class"-Programm from "You Are Your Own Gym". While I so far did absolve every session as described in the book, I have some concerns that the program might be not optimal for my goals:
Due to these concerns, I did try out the Recommended Routine a few times during the last 2.5 weeks, and I do believe that actually it is the better program for me, meaning that I want to switch to RR latest after Mark Lauren's program. This leads me to the point where I would like to ask for the opinions from you - would you, in my place, switch immediately to RR, or finish the current program first. I am crazy undecided on this right now, as I really hate the idea of "failure" in the current program if I do cancel it now with just 4 weeks left. Thank you in advance :) PS: I hope that I do not spam this channel with this question too much - if so please tell me! [link] [comments] |
| Where to put up my pull-up bar Posted: 15 Feb 2021 01:04 AM PST Hey I'm about to crank up my body weight training routine with exercises done with a pull-up bar. The problem is that I don't have a door frame to mount it between. Anyone got some alternatives? I haven't bought a bar yet. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Feb 2021 10:44 PM PST Hey all, this is my first post here. I'm 5'10, about 140LBS and I would consider myself pretty athletic despite having not having too much strength/displacement. Anyway, ever since I was about 5 (and I know this because I would kneel a lot in school from playing and such) my knees ALWAYS crack as if the liquid on the joints is passing through until I reach a squat or I'm on the ground. Another thing is that my hip cracks VERY VERY loud when I rotate my upper body coming from sitting in the car or on a chair. I have a coworker that works at a gym for functionality and he said that it's most likely due to my body/joints not being very strong. I'm 25 and haven't had ANY broken bones or even minor injuries EVER so I thinking it could be the joints not being strong but idk too much about weight lifting so if some of y'all can recommend solutions/experiments/or exercises to help me out, I would very much appreciate it!! Also anyway to build legs??? Does a weight vest help for legs??? Thanks!!!! [link] [comments] |
| Can I get noticable results with 15 min workout 5 times/week? (saggy butt) Posted: 14 Feb 2021 01:02 PM PST I have a saggy butt, I already lost some weight, but have to built muscle. I usually workout once per week for 30 min(push ups, jumping jacks, squats-different types, bridges etc). Now, it is very unlikely I would workout that much every day, but do you think if I do at least 15min of leg+butt exercises a day, could it be noticable? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Feb 2021 02:53 AM PST So I want to start the recommend routine. I've got a decent amount of lifting experience but have suffered from inconsistency in the past. I recently moved and the previous owner has left a pull up bar in my garage. Here's a photo of the space. Thinking about buying some rings and just looping them over there for rows? Then I think all I need is some kind of dipping station? Its going to be quite right for space. I was thinking about removing the pull up bar and buying a power tower and putting it where the pull up bar is however but bit strapped for cash. And I probably need to store my bikes underneath when not being used. [link] [comments] |

| How Often to Deload After Strength Training? Posted: 14 Feb 2021 10:25 PM PST I've been training for the one-arm chin up for the past 2-3 months and now, I feel burned out. I'm on the 1 finger assisted OAC and can do it for 4 reps. But recently, I've felt it has started to burn me out. How often do you guys deload after your strength training regimen? Some youtubers say train for 2 weeks and deload for 2 weeks and continue the cycle. Opinions? [link] [comments] |
