| M 22, 4 months progress. From 130 lbs to 143 lbs. Posted: 17 Feb 2021 05:01 PM PST https://imgur.com/gallery/dqCJ0bf Hey guys, just wanted to share my 4 month calisthenics progress/transformation photos. The left was taken mid-late October 2020. I was completely underweight and in what I would consider an unhealthy state. the right was taken February 12, 2021. I'm extremely happy with progress I've made and hope to continue growing larger and getting stronger. I am 5'10 weighing in at 143 pounds as of now. If anyone has any questions about my diet or routine I'd be happy to help! Cheers everyone! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:25 AM PST I am a beginner (18yoF) doing body weight exercises. When I started doing push-ups and learning about good form I could do 10-15 and would regularly do 10 or so many times during the day. I had to stop for several days and did no pushups during that time. Now when I try to do them with good form I can only do 5-8. What should I do to keep improving? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 07:01 AM PST I can do lots of sit ups while anchoring my feet, but I can't do even one without anchoring my feet. Do you know what exercises I can do to improve? [link] [comments] |
| [22 Male] 160-162cm (5'3) Updates! 46-55Kg (101-121lbs) (8 Months) Posted: 17 Feb 2021 10:13 PM PST Hello!, I'm back with some updates since the last post, so what I been doing?, I'm trying to learn new technics such as 90-degree hold, handstand push-ups, improve my handstand, and of course still working on the planche and front lever which are my ultimate goals. Right now I'm doing the Intermediate Program for the second time because I didn't feel that strong to start with the advanced one, I couldn't do many reps of some exercises such as Inverted Row Pull Ups-Chin Ups so I started to feel a little bit weaker, as a consequence I decided to repeat the program, I've noticed that I gained a lot of strength and endurance, the time it takes for each routine is very low compared to before too, allowing me to do more reps and add weight (Backpack full of books haha). Comparison: https://imgur.com/a/nZDgube My current stats:
Here's a video to show some progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npoFTrx8PCQ After some work I was able to hold a 90-degree hold for about 10 seconds as you can see in the video, handstand needs some work as well as my hs push-ups, regarding front lever I can hold advanced tuck for 10 seconds the same thing for planche (on parallettes). I will keep pushing! Pictures with dates: If you want to learn more about what I've been doing/eating you can check my last post for more info: here I will keep posting from time to time to tell you guys how am I doing, Thanks for reading!

| 10 MINUTE FULL BODY WORKOUT NO EQUIPMENT Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:46 AM PST |
| Will I be able to get any results this way as a beginner? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:16 AM PST I have been doing body weight fitness videos about 6 days a week for over a month (pamela reif and similar) about half an hour day, occasionally with dance videos thrown in or instead for cardio. This is going from doing basically no exercise. I'm so lost. I'm not really watching my calories but eat reasonabley healthy and am at probably maintenance calories or a slight deficit. Do I need to pay more attention at this point to number of calories? Is it true if I am at maintenance calories I can neither gain muscle nor lose fat? What about if I just increase protein? Will that help? I have ordered protein powder online I'm 28, F about 133lbs, 5'6. I'd like to lose a little fat and gain some muscle. Doesn't have to be fast and has to be sustainable. Gym is out of the question for the foreseeable future due to covid here so bodyweight fitness or other videos are all I'm working with. Have ordered some resistance bands though. If there is other equipment I could order online though open to that! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:12 AM PST I am jogging, doing pullups, pushups and squats without weights. it feels amazing [link] [comments] |
| Strong enough to do scapula workouts, is there any point in doing it? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:42 AM PST I, myself have bad shoulders. Scapula work kept creeping up. So, for example. The scapula pushup. I can do reps with 1 arm quite easily. But I've never trained it. Should I train it or am I wasting my time? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Question about counting weekly volume in hybrid training Posted: 18 Feb 2021 08:25 AM PST Hey guys, first time posting. It´s been bogglin my mind for weeks now: Just to make things simple lets say i train for strength (5 sets front lever pushup) once a week and for hypertrophy (3 sets planche pushup) once a week too. Would that count as total weekly volume of 8 sets, when looking forward to achieving my Minimum effective volume? Or only one of those training modalities count? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| Resistance bands with a bar is it a good investment? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 02:09 AM PST Hey guys I found these resistance bands with a bar on https://sweatgram.com/ and I want to ask you do any of you guys have any experience with it and is it a good investment to improve your workouts?

| Need Help with a 1000 Rep Workout! Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:06 AM PST Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan and I run the website 1BillionSubscribers.com. I would love to make a video series where I record my workouts and weight loss journey with the hopes of inspiring others to exercise and eat healthier. What I need help with is building a no equipment, high rep calisthenics routine that can hit all parts of the body, and requires no equipment but the floor. I love the idea of body weight exercises and building my endurance up. I want to work hard to have a body that's well rounded, figuratively not literally lmao. I'm aiming for 1000 reps a session, and will be timing these exercises so i can try to progress against myself. My question to yall is: At 10 exercises, 100 reps each, what would be the 10 exercises you pick that would ensure a full body workout? [link] [comments] |
| Ab isolation work on upper lower split Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:07 PM PST Hi all, lately ive been wanting to isolate my abdominal muscles for hypertrophy cause my stomach is a little TOO flat, but theres an issue. All my excercises require alot of core strength for both days and I was wondering how I could do ab work without overtraining those muscles if its even necessary to work them. What are yalls thoughts on this? [link] [comments] |
| How long does it take for ATP to restore after doing the maximum amount of pull-ups? Posted: 17 Feb 2021 02:19 PM PST Basically how much rest does the average joe needs after doing 10 pull ups? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 11:58 PM PST Street workout pro in China can 'walk on air' - YouTube I cannot even do a single pull up yet so i have been training myself. But i want to give myself 2 years to be able to do this thing that this guy is doing. How would i do it? What would be the progression? I looked up some videos on youtube but they only talk about SIDE WAYS pull ups and not 360 like that chinese guy [link] [comments] |
| Most Pull-ups, Most Dips and Longest Hanging L-sit in 5 mins Challenge - TRAINING ADVISE WANTED Posted: 18 Feb 2021 03:20 AM PST Hi All, Long time lurker, first time poster. Got into bodyweight last spring due to UK lockdown and I recently made a bet with a friend of mine over this lockdown as a fitness challenge to keep us both motivated and fit during these hard times. Its a 4 month challenge starting now, the challenge is this: Who can do the... - Most pull-ups in 5mins - Most bar dips in 5 mins - Longest hanging L-sit - Longest handstand - Plus a personalised weight goal for each of us - mine is get up to 12 st (76kg) with 10% body fat. Currently 11st1lbs - 9.2%. The overall winner of the 5 challenges buys the other beers and dinner. What I wanted to know from all your collective experience is what would be the best method to train the above? I did a benchmark test the other days and can do 38 pull-ups, 40 dips and 25 seconds hanging l-sit. Is it just a matter of smashing out as many of each in 5 mins as possible and trying to squeeze in another rep eat time or are there alternative methods that will achieve the same result? Curious to hear any wisdom and keen for the challenge!! [link] [comments] |
| Any advice for my sedentary girlfriend with poor posture/L-back issues? Posted: 17 Feb 2021 07:23 PM PST Not sure if this is the right place, however, I've been a callisthenics fanatic for years & a regular visitor to this sub so I know that there are lots of well informed people (unlike myself!) who might be able to help. So recently I've been concerned about my gf's poor posture. I really should Google the scientific names but it's 3am here in the uk & I need to get some sleep. Her shoulders round forward & I think her pelvis goes the other direction...? Either way. I want to fix this as she's 31 & these problems are only going to get exasperated with age. I've convinced (somehow) her to try the 'couch to 5k' plan, but she is not excited in getting in better shape. So with that being said, what sort of exercise/flexibility/mobility/strength plan should I draw up? I want it to be 'light' so (hopefully) she can be consistent with it. I feel that core strength/muscle imbalances have a big part in posture (I'm not an expert so I have no idea) [link] [comments] |
| Are knuckle push up variations still enough to build up the chest? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 02:52 AM PST Advanced bodyweight here specifically on push ups, a few months ago I on my usual training sessions doing a full body workout until I accidentally overextended my wrist too far when doing a diamond push up straining the left wrist. Doing flat handed push ups started to hurt mainly on my left. So now, even to this day I am no longer able to do flat handed push ups for quite awhile now as it my left still has some pain even if its just a small amount as I don't want to make it worst and sometime soon I'll see a therapist/doctor for check up. I'll be missing doing them that way, been always loving the feeling to do flat handed all that time for the past 3-4 years. Luckily though I was still able to use a form of parrallettes with my dumbells and kettlebells or even just my own knuckles to continue on doing push ups. I get a little icky with using my equipment as parraellettes sometimes as the position of my dumbells and kettlebell handles can be a little uneven on the floor which does not even my hand placement, but are doing push ups with bare knuckles also be enough to still work the chest out? (My training with push ups always consist of medium speed full range of motion and isometric base) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 07:19 PM PST Hi, I have been far from fitness for a long time, when i was younger I was an amateur fighter on mma, I used to read a lot of science stuff applied to the sport, studies, methods of training, muscles types of fibers, metabolism, etc. However my little brother want me to put him some workouts, I have been far from the game for a long time but most important, I dont know how to train him as a complete begginer, he cant even do a normal pushup. He wants to get involved in boxing, so I want him to develop a good strenght base, fast twich muscle and stamina. In the future i will look forward to him training in a proper gym (quarantine), and to develop important aspects in boxing, such as speed, explosiveness, power, etc. But as far as my memory goes, I think now we need to focus on strenght to get a solid base. I was thinking to mix it up a little with hiit, and some aerobic excersices from time to time. What do you think? Wish you all are safe [link] [comments] |
| Best abs and lower lats exercises? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 02:46 AM PST My current body after 4 months of training Alright so i've been consistent at the gym for a few months now, i've been working my shoulders, arms, upper back and legs a lot, but i did a very big error : I didn't work on my abs and lower lats at all. It makes me look broad shouldered in a t shirt, but since i didn't work on the lower part of my upper body, it makes it look quite weird overall... I want to know which exercises i should do to get a wider waist and also to get good looking lower lats. I'd say these are the most lagging parts of my body right now as i'm satisfied with the progress i made on other parts of my body. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 10:28 PM PST Age 19, height 5'8", weight 59kg/130lbs, experience (about 2 years) I'm currently focusing on getting the one arm pull up but have been facing some serious difficulties for a pretty long time. I can do 12-15 bodyweight pull up depending on the day. My max weighted chin up is 60lbs (didn't measure pull up). I'm not sure how to go about it. I first started with mantle chin up. Then I did archer chin up and then archer pull up. I couldn't do band assisted OAP that's why I didn't do it. Today I tried the strap assisted OAP on the rings. No idea if I'm doing it right or not. The strap kinda hurts my palm a lot but it wouldn't be an issue if I know that if will get me to the OAP. Now let's look at the options to get to the OAP and assess my situation.
This is not possible. I train in the park and the only weight I have around are bricks and concrete blocks. No way to properly progressively overload. Not to mention they get very uncomfortable when the weight is too much and it's not possible to hold two 15kg blocks between my legs. Here's me failing at a 1rm attempt with 30.5kg/67lbs
I can do OAC in this way but not OAP. It's very hard especially for the left hand (can do 3 decent reps with right hand). I'm significantly weaker in pull ups than chin ups. I don't know how I can build upto band assisted OAP.
Not possible for me unfortunately
Only feasable option it seems. I just tried it today. 1 rep for the left hand 2 reps for right. However maintaining the angle of OAP is pretty hard and the ring is rotating which makes it harder. Should I continue this? I can do 3 Ring Archer Pull ups. Should I stick with them until I can do 5-6 then come back? Many experts (who are very proficient with OAP) say that those progressions are not the best and assisted OAP exercises are better. I have to joint/tendon issue regarding OAP. What do you think about the situation and what would you advice me? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Feb 2021 01:32 PM PST I'm currently 16 and ambitious to be a Royal Marines commando, I went from steadily improving (about +1 every other day) to suddenly out of nowhere almost halving my best. Any advice on how to get back to my former glory and continue to improve would be great! Extra info———————- Used to train in doing until failure, archer variants, static pull ups and recently my first muscle up. Also doing hammer variant pull ups, to wide grip to chin ups. While on some days doing ladder supersets with Spider-Man push ups. Surprising my back has somehow even gotten stronger while my max reps have drastically decreased —————- Any advice or recommendations or reasoning why is very helpful, thanks for your time [link] [comments] |
