| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 03:25 AM PST After a awhile of training hard I have finally achived... this I know it's really bad but it's progress non the less. Keep in mind this is just an attempt to test what level am I at, this is not my training :D The grind continues.... Since I've started my dream was to straddle planche, and when I get to straddle I am aiming for full planche. I am now closer then ever but I know I am no where near straddle planche. But THE GRIND CONTINUES [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Feb 2021 12:49 PM PST 20/02/2021, historical day for me, I unlocked my first muscle up, and I'm so proud, I took 3 minutes of rest and I did 4 muscle ups in total before failing in the 5th time. The best advice I could give is to work on the negative muscle up, i tried to get the M-U for months without doing the negative and it was a big mistake, a week after doing the Negatives, I unlocked the muscle up with a good form Good luck to every one grinding for it. Gonna try to get the front lever next! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 02:47 AM PST I'm able to hold this position for a few seconds, but I can't seem to lock out my shoulders and have a clean strict flag. What should I do to fix this? Is it a matter of repetition and practice or is there a specific technique I'm missing ? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| I have bigger Triceps with banded pushups now compared to chest press in the past. Posted: 21 Feb 2021 12:11 PM PST Several years ago, while weightlifting I would do bench press regularly, and tried different triceps specific exercises like triceps pull downs, dips, skull crushers, etc. However, my triceps never got big, and I was always unsatisfied with them. I stopped going to the gym for several years, but since Corona virus I have been using body weight fitness and resistance bands. In regards to triceps and chest, I am in particular doing pushups with resistance bands. I get the feeling that the resistance bands do more for your triceps while doing a pushup compared to your chest, because the band doesn't really get a stretch until the final half of the pushup. Now, my triceps are the biggest they have ever been in my life. When I flex my bicep, my triceps gives the illusion that my biceps are huge just because my triceps make my arm look bigger. It's very cool. On the other hand, my chest is really not that big; I'm not that satisfied with my chest. My question is if this makes any sense: is there anything about a pushup that might lend itself to resulting in a larger hypertrophy of the triceps, and a smaller hypertrophy of the chest; likewise would a bench press tend to lend itself more to the chest, compared to the tricep? Or am I just some weirdo who can get big triceps from pushups but not from other exercises? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 11:35 AM PST so I tried a nordic and was able to do 3 with like rpe 7 even though I have never done them and now I kinda don't know how to program them in cus they fatigue my ass so hard that doing Bulgarian split squats and any other squat/step-up hurts in my ass cus it gets so sore from them so does anyone know how to program them. Like should I do them first and deal with the soreness and weakness mid-session for my other movements or do them last. [link] [comments] |
| Rings Turned Out Pushups Are Definitely a Sleeper Exercise Posted: 20 Feb 2021 03:02 PM PST I think if you're capable of doing RTO Pushups sustainably, they are a great addition to your chest workouts. I tried them for the first time yesterday and I got an absolutely sickening chest pump. Like more chest pump than I've gotten from any single gym exercise or any other single calisthenics movement. I have a feeling it's because the bottom of the exercise is kind of like a pseudo planche pushup with the elbow angle at around 90 degrees or maybe a little bigger (maybe 100 degrees) which puts the triceps at mechanical disadvantage and forces the chest to do disproportionally more work than it would in a normal pseudoplanche pushup, benchpress, dip or anything else. I always get a crazy tricep pump when I bench, dip, pushups or other things and I've struggled getting high amounts of chest activation in my training. I'm definitely glad I stumbled across the RTO pushup because I've never gotten this sick of a chest pump from 3 sets of 10 of an exercise. These reps aren't even technically perfect because I just learned the movement but I wanted to share it with all of you to potentially share these gains with everyone else who has never heard of the exercise. Once I improve the technique on these a little more, I will make a standalone tutorial video on the exercise as I haven't really seen a good in depth tutorial on the RTO pushup yet. Maybe there is one out there but when I googled it, it was hard to find a clear example of it. Edit: I warmed up prior to the RTO Pushup with Rings Turned In Pushups, RTO Support and Full Range Of Motion Dips. Definitely warm up with some type of RTO support variation before trying the RTO Pushups to stay safe and get used to the position The RTO pushups and talking about them starts at 3:11 into the video link below As always, thank you for watching and comment if you want any clarification on any of these moves or explanations given. And let me know what you would like to see in the next video/ tutorial/ Q&A! [link] [comments] |
| Fear of falling and die or broke my spine. (Question) Posted: 21 Feb 2021 08:03 AM PST I'm starting in the calisthenic world, and i'm trying to do the handstand by starting with some yoga movements and the handstand against a wall. but whenever a get close to a vertical position a sudden fear take all over me and it just makes me retreat, maybe because i think i Will crack my spine or some shit like this. Any help of How can i overcome this fear? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 06:42 AM PST Hey all, new to this sub :D! I've been following the RR for a month now and doing 1 on 1 off for the week,but maybe i'm being stupid but what do you guys do on that extra day in the week ? ie you start Monday with the first routine and then you end on Saturday with a rest after the third routine,basically what do you do on Sunday then (the extra day) Is it better to just keep on with the RR constantly ie always 1 on 1off or just practice skills on Sunday and then go back into the RR schedule on Monday A bit of feedback would be great thanks :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 08:51 AM PST Hi everyone! I've searched in this subreddit for the topic but couldn't find anything useful. So my question is how to train freestyle. It is a skill work and I suppose I should practice it before a workout but I find it very exhausting and actually hindering the strength part of the workout. I'll be glad to read your suggestions :) [link] [comments] |
| Ankle fracture never healed and it hurts to exercise Posted: 21 Feb 2021 12:35 PM PST Hi! I fractured my ankle back in 2019 and it never properly healed. Mostly due to the fact that each doctor I went to told me it was only a sprain and it only still hurt because of my weight. (I'm about 320lbs) Is there any kind of workout I could do that wouldn't hurt my ankle too quickly? I can easily walk on a treadmill for about 20-30 minutes at 2-2.5mph, but if I go any longer it hurts my ankle and it begins to pop & crack. (Before you ask, I did everything the doctor told me to do after I had a boot on and was told it was fractured. The bone on my ankle sticks out and it makes it look like my ankle is swollen 24/7) [link] [comments] |
| Parallel bar knee raises - how do you keep your back flat? Posted: 21 Feb 2021 06:24 AM PST Hi all, I'm having trouble keeping my back flat when doing knee raises from a parallel bar support hold. When I lift my knees up, my hips go backwards so they end up way behind my arms. My torso, knees and legs end up looking like a lightning bolt from the side, I think I should be aiming to look more like a tetris piece with a flat torso and knees at 90 degrees Should I be pushing my pelvis forward to counteract the backwards movement? Or tilting my pelvis back to allow easier movement of the legs, but hold my back flat by squeezing something else? Any pointers would be great :) [link] [comments] |
| Have a lot of pull ups with good form but cant explosive pull up Posted: 21 Feb 2021 01:22 AM PST Hey. I've been training for 4 months now and went from 1 barely good pull up to 13 strict form pull ups (Had friends near me check if I had good form on every rep). Recently I've started to do weighted pull ups and I can do 4 reps with 15kg added. I have also been trying for the last month or two to get the muscle up but never seemed to be able to get it, thought it was technique but then I noticed that I cant even do 1 explosive pull up to the chest. I know it sounds weird but I don't know how to pull with 100% of my power or at least this is how it feels like, maybe I lack the power to do an explosive pull up. It feels like even when I try to give 100 I pull even slower than I normally do and cant get the bar to the chest. Its been very frustrating for me and I hope that someone here was in the same boat as I am right now since I don't know what to do anymore. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 11:01 AM PST Like in a week , how would one position the workouts and cardio sessions in lenghts of 1-2hours [link] [comments] |
| Dips reducing my push up reps? Posted: 21 Feb 2021 10:48 AM PST Hi! I am doing the RR since a few weeks now and progressed up to static dip holds (3x65 sec) and 3x6 push ups. I am continually gaining weight (1 kg/month). I recently started doing 3x6 negative dips but since I started this, my max push up reps decreased down to 3x5. Is this normal, as dips use (and tire) similar muscles? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Feb 2021 10:46 AM PST Hello, soon i will be able to perform a solid Human Flag and i will be training for next skill. Should i work towards Front Lever or One Arm Pull Up first? Im asking this because there is a lot of conflicting information about this topic. Basically i concluded that Front Lever seems easier for shorter people with good leverages but OAP is tricky. It's because lot of people say that they got in indirectly without specific training and the others say that they just gave up for OAP because of lack of progress and therefore switched to FL and got it. It seems that i should be doing trial and error but it could potentially save a lot of frustration if you guys have some good points i might not be aware of. Btw, M , 20 , 5'10/178cm , 79kg/174lbs. Basics - ~20 Pull Ups , ~37-38 Dips [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Feb 2021 12:59 PM PST As above! I do 3 sets of 45 second planks a few times a week (working the time up) but was just looking through the progressions in the sidebar. It suggests to move on from planks once you can do one for 30 seconds? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Feb 2021 09:00 PM PST I injured my hip - not crazy crazy but I need to give it a rest for a few weeks. What can I do (besides push ups) to work out without putting strain on my hip. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Feb 2021 03:37 PM PST Hi all! I've gotten into bodyweight fitness by way of physical therapy for 2 lumbar herniated discs in my spine. I am incredibly invested in having a strong core and glutes/legs as they protect my back. (I've started working on my arms too!) I've been doing the modified version of a side plank (from knees) since November. I can hold it for 60 seconds, so I figured I'd try it from feet. Holy shirt. I knew it would be more difficult but it was waaaay harder for me—I think I held it for 5 seconds. (I do have weaker arms/shoulders esp. on my right side due to breaking my right arm a few years ago). Is there a modification of this exercise in between from knees and from feet? I gave it a google and didn't see much. If not—better to increase time with modified version or just try to get to 6 seconds, then 7, etc with the nonmodified version? I suspect the latter but I'm not sure. Thanks for any input! [link] [comments] |
| What are some pulling exercises you can do that don't work the grip? Posted: 20 Feb 2021 06:26 PM PST I've convinced a friend of mine to work out with me. He's tall, fat, and strong as fuck from physical labour and martial arts, but we're having trouble because his grip isn't recovering between training sessions. The rest of him returns to every workout stronger than ever, but his grip gets taxed all day at his job so we haven't really been able to train his back properly. We're training MWF but his grip is only letting him train his back on Mondays. His back can train MWF, but his grip can't. I'm picturing something where he can rest his palm on the bar or rings in front of him and pull downwards (like he's doing a front lever), but because of his size he needs a beginner exercise much, much easier than any sort of lever training I know. Any ideas for some type of dynamic back exercise that will let him just exert downward pressure with his palm? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Feb 2021 02:32 PM PST So I am a female and I have been struggling recently on how to fix my rib flare as there aren't many videos about it. I have been doing dead bugs for a few weeks but I don't think I see any progress. I don't know if I should add some weights to my arms while doing dead bugs to see if it makes a difference? I have very limited resources and equipment at home so I'm not sure what to do :/ I also have converted to belly breathing as I noticed that before I used to breathe with my chest. Please any recommendations and tips are welcome! [link] [comments] |
