| Pull ups are the most rewarding exercise Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:16 AM PST This is it. The title. Pull ups are so harsh when you begin, on day 1 you can do only X. But 2 days after you do X+2, another 2 days X+4, and after a while it's a lot easier. For other exercises its either really hard to gain progress at the beginning, or it may seem too easy, so you don't get that much of satisfaction doing more. I feel like pull ups are perfectly balanced and are the easiest exercise to combine to any routine. [link] [comments] |
| Favorite non-dairy protein powder? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 09:24 PM PST I, unfortunately, am lactose intolerant. Even Lactaid won't help. I've tried multiple protein powders but still haven't found my number one. I'm a huge chocolate person, so I'd love to find something delicious and in the chocolate realm. So far, I've tried: True Nutrition (awesome, but even on the lightest sweetened amount it tastes like sweetener, and their flavors aren't great), Orgain (not bad, but doesn't desolve great), Isopure (expensive, but good), Vega (currently using and pretty good). So far these have been my main go-to's but I'm looking for some new delicious non-dairy protein powders. Would appreciate any recommendations! TIA Also, I've tried the OWYN drink, but not the powder. Curious if the powder tastes the same, if anyone has tried it before... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:11 AM PST This is a short video of some of my low points over my past 3 years of training when it comes to my overhead pressing. I've had multiple injuries that have set me back to restarting from very little. But these past few months I've finally been able to nail clean Handstand Push ups consistently. And I can even do straddle 90 degree push up negatives. I hope this helps some one that is feeling demotivated. Good luck on your training. [link] [comments] |
| A hard and honest workout: 100 burpees in 15 minutes (Navy Seal, Bodybuilder, Kickout, 1 & 2 Pump) Posted: 19 Feb 2021 10:55 AM PST Still have the lockdown, gym facilities are still closed, still doing my burpee workout. And I have to say I am still a big fan of high rep burpees. There are endless variations you can do: 100 fast or 300 slow, athletically challenging or very simple burpees.
Cardio, endurance and strength. And not to forget: The challenge to the mind to "torture" yourself through such a workout. If you're into that kind of thing, I can really recommend this to you.
Another good thing about outdoor workouts: my dog gets to spend more time at the park.
Progress: Since my last post 6 or so ago, I've continued to work on my routine: Increased speed, learned more burpee variations. I have implemented a few suggestions from the community here, for example I now run in place between reps and don't stand around static. Other insights: Be sure to stretch, otherwise you get quite stiff in the long run and especially the upper back and neck tense up.
About the workout:
Here's my workout: A hard and honest workout: 100 burpees in 15 minutes (Navy Seal, Bodybuilder, Kickout, 1 & 2 Pump) Warning:
Check this post about high repetition plank/push-up/squad challenges from the FAQ:
The advantage over plank/push-up/squad challenges: You have a more hollistic workout if you do burpees. Make sure that you have variances in your workouts. [link] [comments] |
| High Intensity - Low Frequency Training Posted: 19 Feb 2021 07:52 AM PST Hey y'all! Fot the past few months I've been doing the High Intensity Low Frequency Training, which in my case I trained 1-2x per week (One training session focused on HSPU, FL, OAC, Planche PU, Pistol Squat while the other session was focused on other specific areas I wanted to get better at. The second session wouldn't be as intense as the first one). This style of training was a life saver as college & other things were taking up more time and energy. Before getting to know this type of training I did Push/Pull/Legs (for many years in fact). PPL + the dedicated mobility I took WAAAAAAY too much weekly time. When I realized that, I started to do research and came across this type of training. When i started training 1-2x per week (+ no extra mobility, just the one made for free by working on few excercises) I was very very skeptical and always wanted to go back to the old safe Push Pull Legs because I was paranoid that I would lose all my precious Gains (Spoiler alert, nothing was lost lol). As time went by I started to question what I did in my PPL training. "Maybe I don't need to train 6 times per week to keep on getting stronger" "Maybe I'm doing too much work". By no means I'm saying PPL is a bad schedule, I'm just saying that sometimes I didn't have the time nor the energy to spend 2hs daily on it. I then realized that I was just fine with less training days and more free time. New hobbies and more time for college were the result! While still making gains! And no constant thinking of training. The purpose of this post is to encourage you guys to make the jump. Test things for yourself. Don't get stuck into blind beliefs. Your gains wont be killed lol. I also would like to know what type of training you're currently doing and how you manage it when time or energy is short. Also, are you thinking about your training most of the time?. Let me know! And last but not least HUGE Shoutout and THANKS to u/Mindfulmover for introducing me to this type of training! If you're interested in what I wrote about and what they preach, check them out on instagram. They're always willing to help and will likely respond to you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2021 06:36 AM PST I can do 7-8 wall hand stand pushups and upto 20 sec wall handstand with one leg on the wall but I am not able to do it without support. Can anybody tell how to take this forward. [link] [comments] |

| Question about upper/lower split and off days in general Posted: 19 Feb 2021 05:51 AM PST Hey has anyone been doing the upper/lower split? I originally wanted to do upper/lower/off on repeat, but It's time to hit upper again and I'm not feeling it, is it usually recommend to do upper/lower/off/upper/lower/off/off? More general question , what "symptoms" do you feel before deciding to postpone a workout to the next day? I'm looking at my upper workout for today and my elbows and shoulders are slightly sore, I don't feel like I can hit some of the pull-up reps I had planned out but I could do lower volume higher sets. I'm in a fasted state currently so maybe I'll feel different after eating but what are your thoughts? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Need advices in my progression Posted: 19 Feb 2021 11:47 AM PST Hi everybody (long) ! So I have been doing the recommended routine since last November. Before that I was doing a general homemade routine while traveling and more than 2years ago I did move routine till end of phase 3 as I began bodyweightfitness . On the progression exercices I am at : normal full pull ups (not my favorite ex), weighted dips (12lb),horizontal rows nearly mastered, beginning pseudo planche push up, single legged shrimps squat mastered, Copenhagen plank with movements mastered, arc body hold with movements mastered, etc. I am also doing skills days 2days a week and I can hold a handstand with my Back against the wall app 45 seconds but I can't do it without the wall. And beginning to do tuck L sit on the floor. Last year I had a infection virus that put me in the hospital so I am still trying to get back to my normal weight 176 lb (currently 170lb 5feet11 and gaining .7lb per week on average). Here is my question : the last 7 weeks I haven't been happy with my gain in number of reps and I am getting a bit frustrated. I am wondering if I should stick with the recommended routine until I got to the weight I used to feel confortable in and then maybe change routine to the move routine phase 4. Or if I should change to the move routine phase 4 right now ? What do you think guys/girls ? Thank for the advices [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2021 11:17 AM PST Hello, when I do pull ups and handstands, my head is tilted to the left (https://ibb.co/nbNgB9b). How could I fix that? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| How to progress to a one arm pushup Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:39 AM PST So Im currently doing 25 press ups with 20kg on my back every other day for 100but still have no idea how to get to a one arm pushup. Any advise how how I can get there? [link] [comments] |
| I Did My First Ever Archer Pullup! Back Workout Video Posted Below Posted: 19 Feb 2021 12:24 AM PST Hi Everyone! I've been doing calisthenics for a little while now and occasionally post questions and try to answer questions I have answers to. Currently, most of my fitness goals are related to calisthenics since the gyms in my area are all closed and I haven't been able to lift weights recently. Edit: I'm searching for feedback about my technique here and how to improve it as well on all the exercises, but especially the archer pullups and the lever variations (Comment if you recognize the songs!) I worked at a gym pre covid and I'm actually enjoying the calisthenics training more than lifting at this point because there are so many different exercises and variations as opposed to similar exercises in the gym with different loading schemes. I think once the pandemic ends, I'll return to working at gyms but I will continue my calisthenics journey and see how far I can get. I want to eventually accomplish a one hand pullup and front lever and planche are my main goals now. Currently, on the static holds, I am at the tuck planche and straddle lever stage and I definitely want to work towards a full lever and full planche eventually. In this video I uploaded today (Link Below) at 2 mins and 52 seconds in I perform my first archer pullup! With the archer pullups, does it look like I did them correctly or what would you change about the execution to make them better? Do you typically perform all the repetitions on one side and rest or switch hands each repetition? [link] [comments] |
| Transitioning from weight training to more bodyweight focus/What skills to learn Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:52 AM PST I've been lifting weights for 4 months & i believe i've gathered a good bit of strength to be able to transition into a more calisthenics' centered routine; I basically took the full-body routine that was provided in the FAQ & added at least one or two muscle isolation weight exercises to each day (For example, on day one i'd add incline bench press & on day two i'd add seated horizontal rows & bicep curls etc etc..) As for the skills, i was wondering which one would be better suited for me ability & efficiency-wise. Now, i have a slight background in breakdancing & martial arts so i do have at least some form of knowledge on how to move my body against gravity & all i need is more strength & a bit of experience.

| Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:35 AM PST Firstly, I have been doing weight training at the gym for over a year now and I always enjoyed creating my own workout routines. Having my own curated list encourages me to try different exercises and do the exercises that I like and work for me, I also learn certain exercises from online and people I see at the gym. With that said I am looking to now create a workout list more suited for home exercises. -QUESTIONS- •I want to know if there is a specific set of exercise order for HIIT/Tabata, for instance you are encouraged to perform compound-machines-dumbbell then maybe some cardio at the end (when at the gym) •If incorporating superset style workouts how would you choose the 2 different exercises, is it like doing chest presses and choosing any other exercise that doesn't incorporate chest muscles? •Lastly, is it very common to have exercises that trains different parts of one's body in a single exercise compared to just focusing on one body part?

| How long until I see chest mass based on my current plan Posted: 19 Feb 2021 11:11 AM PST So I weight 160 now and consume 160 grams of protein a day.

And how long do you think until I see changes [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2021 04:23 AM PST Hi, I've been looking for a long time for a detailed and developed chart/ list etc that shows progressions from easier exercises. For example, push up to close push up and things like that. Any help would be appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Are pulling exercises any different if they are on rings? Posted: 19 Feb 2021 09:05 AM PST Are pulling exercises more difficult or anything if performed on rings? I felt like pulling exercises are the same whether they're done on rings or on a stable bar. The only difference I can see is that you can use neutral grip on rings. I was wondering if there are any other benefits to doing pullups / rows on rings as opposed to a stable bar. [link] [comments] |
| Quick muscle exhaustion cause/fix? Posted: 19 Feb 2021 08:22 AM PST I'm an experienced lifter who's been in the gym for about 10 years but admittedly have been willfully ignorant with the Science behind my workouts because I've had great results just doing what I do. I've just pushed through the exhaustion but I need to start doing something about it. My forearms are my biggest issue. It takes next to nothing for them to be TIGHT! If I'm texting too much or just do a single set of pull-ups or any back related exercise they get TIGHT. No amount of rolling or stretching loosens them, I even take my massager to it for about 15 minutes and still nothing. It causes this weird jolt at the top of my pull-up that goes through my arm right between the bicep and the forearm. Secondly my shoulders. After just a couple stretches these bitches get Heavy. I've thought maybe I needed rest so I took months off but the issues stayed. Any idea how remedy these? They're killing my workouts and I've been starting jiu jitsu but by the end of my class my forearms are completely shot and I can't even lift them l [link] [comments] |
| Reverse Nordic Curls After Pistol Squads Posted: 19 Feb 2021 12:27 AM PST Was just wondering whether it is possible to swap the Pistol Squads with Reverse Nordic Curls in the RR? Or is it hitting the muscle groups differently? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2021 03:15 AM PST So I(16M) started working out again and I start having pain in my humerus and somewhat in my when I do pushups or tricep dips! This makes me feel weak afterwards. Help needed! [link] [comments] |
| Progression after weighted one arm pushups? Posted: 19 Feb 2021 12:13 AM PST I've been training calisthenics 5-6 times a week for a few months now and now I got to the point where I can do 3 sets of 12 one arm pushups quite easily. Do y'all have any suggestions on how to progress from here to improve my strength? [link] [comments] |
| Will weighted pull ups decrease my body weight pull up max? Posted: 18 Feb 2021 10:29 PM PST I've been doing an "up routine" where I do a number of pull-ups, with various grips, 2X push-ups and 3X sit-up/ ab alternative. E.g. 10pullups, 20pushup, 30crunches. I've worked up to doing 100 pull ups in a session over multiple sets. My max pull-ups in a row is about 15. To mix it up, I've started wearing a 12lbs weight vest but am doing less pull-ups (approx 60/session). Will using the weight vest each workout improve or decrease my ability to do 15 unweighted pull-ups in a row? My goal is to do 20 unweighted in a row. I'm 35m, 6'3", 175lbs. Do this UP routine twice a week and bike 8-10hrs/week. [link] [comments] |
| Core triplet from RR modification Posted: 19 Feb 2021 12:02 AM PST I'm following the RR but recently I've made a change on the core triplet: I'm keeping the anti-extension, but I've started doing oblique knee raises instead of anti-rotation and an isolation on biceps/triceps instead of extensions. Am I missing anything important doing this or can I keep doing this. Or maybe should I re-add the two cores with the isolation and obliques? Thanks for the info! [link] [comments] |
