Who coined the term “calisthenics”? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:56 AM PST [The Etymology and Origins of the Word Calisthenics] According to Wikipedia, the etymology of "calisthenics" comes from: the ancient Greek words kállos (κάλλος), which means "beautiful" (to emphasize the aesthetic pleasure that derives from the perfection of the human body), and sthenos (σθένος), meaning "strength" (great mental strength, courage, strength, and determination). But as far as I can see there aren't any details on where the term was originally coined, and who came up with it. This is purely for the sake of curiosity. Does anyone in this community know? Edit: some more digging and I've found that the word has been in use since at least the 1800s (according to Google Ngrams , but looking at the content from that period, it referred to more synchronised physical movements, rather than gymnastics related exercise. The earliest book mentioning Calisthenics on Google Books is from 1856, titled: Physiology and Calisthenics for Schools and Families by Catherine E. Butcher. Link here. In it, Butcher describes Calisthenics as a: course of exercises designed to promote health, and thus secure beauty and strength. She compares it with gymnastics, explaining that gymnastics is "more severe...while they require apparatus and a room set for the purpose.", unlike Calisthenics which "excludes all those severe exercises" and requires zero apparatus. • u/MortiusJackson mentioned a French book from 1828 titled Calisthénie; ou, Gymnastique des jeunes filles. Traité élémentaire des différens exercices. submitted by /u/Deanosaurus88 [link] [comments]

I'm sure some of you are gamers. Posted: 27 Feb 2021 04:48 AM PST Dear bodyweight fitness community. We all love to work out, but I also think some people in here also like videogames. So why not combine both?! I made a video, where I show, at least in my opinion, how you can play your favorite games and work out at the same time. https://youtu.be/TStcrn5yHeA Feel free to leave a comment and suggestions about what you like or what you would do differently. ✌ submitted by /u/RaysGamingRift [link] [comments]

Sharing my "bodyweight finishers" routine Posted: 27 Feb 2021 08:08 AM PST Hello everyone, during the last months I've beend doing the Body By Rings Routine routine and noticing a lot of progress, but I really wanted to put the extra effort in each training that I had, given that I felt like sometimes I ended up with 5%-10% of gas in the tank. So I created a series of "finishers" that help me empty out my energy and also help me with some cardio/conditioning gains and thought I could share this with you: These have worked wonders for the final minutes of my workout like I said, when I'm done with my normal routine, I usually do one of these bad guys to fully empty the tank. So I'm assuming you already did your fair share of your usual bodyweight routines, call it RR, Push/Pull, Full Body or whatever, and you have a couple of minutes (10-15 min) to completely drain your energy and call it a day. I put together a video with the complete exercises for reference Finisher Variation #1 Sit Thru Knee (10-20) Plate Halos (5-10 each side) Plank Object Pull Thru (10-20) Rollups (10-20) Finisher Variation #2 Plank Walkdowns (10-20 each side) Half Burpees (10-20) Ab Crunch With Staright Arm Plate (10-20) Jumping Lounges (10-20) Finisher Variation #3 Box Jumps (20-40) Hollow Rocks (10-20) Walkout Jumping Jacks (5-10 total, 5-10 jumps) Hands to wall plank (10-20 each hand) Finisher Variation #4 Box jump to half burpee (10-20) Hindu pushups (10-20) Walkout cross body mountain climber (5-10 total, 5-10 crosses) Rollups (10-20) ----- Programming: Option A) Choose a variation of your choice and handle it as AMRAPs (As many reps as possible) given 10 to 15 minutes Option B) Do 3 to 4 rounds of one finisher variation of your choice for time, and try to improve your time in a weekly/monthly basis ----- FAQs: Can I do this finishers even though I'm new to exercise/lifting/calisthenics? Yes Can I mix up/add/remove the exercises mentioned? Absolutely Can I do these even if I didn't do any form of lift/exercise before them? Sure Can I do these as warmup? Yes Can I increase the sets or reps mentioned? The sky is the limit submitted by /u/_javierivero [link] [comments]

DIY Bench for Dragon Flags & Nordic Curls/GHR Guide Posted: 27 Feb 2021 09:54 AM PST This is a guide for anyone looking to make something like this! TL;DR video version of this post here ​ So this is a SUPER easy project, and I don't expect it to take over an hour for someone to do. (Yes that means you have no excuse to not actually make this). The only tools that are needed are a hand saw and a drill. And I know there are other solutions to be able to do Nordics and Dragon flags in a door, but I'll explain later why I needed a bench... ​ Build List: ​ 1"x12"x48" Wooden Board 1"x"36 Square Wooden Dowel #12x1" Wood Screw ​ (Optional Parts Below) Gardening Knee Pad (You can use a pillow or yoga matt in place of this) Pool Noodle -------------Metal Fittings-------------- 1/2" Metal Flange x 2 1/2"x6" Threaded Metal Pipe x 2 + 1/2" to 3/4" Right Angle fitting x 2 +3/4"x8" Threaded Pipe ------------------------------------------------ ​ Build Guide: Here ​ Additional Info: So if you wanted to make this as budget as possible. You can just get the first 3 items on the build list. If you have a ring strap and yoga matt (or pillow) then it's completely usable! The total cost for that is right around $30 ​ I went all out with the metal pipes so I don't need to set up a strap every time, and it also feels super sturdy. You'll definitely want a pool noodle instead of having your legs directly on the metal pipes, but it was super comfortable with it. ​ Alternatives: u/RockRaiders has a much simpler solution to be able to make a nordic setup. This is his post with a lot more information on GHR/Nordics and his setup for just using one simple strap under a door or tied to a pole. So why didn't I do that? Unfortunately, the only door that was really suitable for me in my home is my front door. Every other door would limit me in my range of motion. This isn't ideal for me and I also wanted to be able to use a resistance band tied above me to assist. So a portable solution I can put under my pull-up bar outside was ideal. There is also this $230 bench from Baseblocks, but that wasn't the option I thought was best for me. ​ ​ Anyways, I hope this helped you out. Its definitely giving me the motivation to work on my leg training as Nordics are by far my favorite leg exercise. Good luck on your training! submitted by /u/Johnrmac1 [link] [comments]

forearm "bump" Posted: 27 Feb 2021 08:11 AM PST I have something in my forearm, specifically between elbow and brachioradialis. I dont think its a bump, it feels meaty, its more like a muscle that gets bigger when I flex. Problem is its the only forearm part that gets really big. My left arm its almost same thing, but that elbow-meat has same size as forearm extensors. Im right-handed maybe thats why. it could be just a bad training/squeezing more certain fingers when I grip weights? submitted by /u/Aordirc [link] [comments]

Your Though on The bioneer Posted: 26 Feb 2021 11:36 PM PST Training to become batman become a super hero and save humanity or training for a zombie apocalypse to survive , What do you think about the bioneer and his style of training (superfunctional training) training everything every area of fitness and also training the mind submitted by /u/quzaccie1 [link] [comments]

Groin pull but in need of abs workout Posted: 27 Feb 2021 12:02 PM PST This is a hard one because of my injury, but I am supposed to be in shape by April, atleast in my stomach region, to lose some belly fat. That means I have to work on abs, because I can't run or do the usual activities without further injuring my groin. I see a physical therapist, he recommended using a medicine ball, but I have yet to learn anything else, and don't talk to him until next week. Any recommendations to help lose some belly fat and strengthen my core? submitted by /u/Cronkeymate [link] [comments]

Doorway pullups and elbows? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 11:39 AM PST Anyone do pullups with a doorway bar and have issues with not having enough room for your elbows. I'm trying to do these to engage the back as much as possible (as opposed to arms) so I'm trying to keep my scaps retracted and elbows out as opposed to forward, but I have a bigger wingspan and I can't seem to do these comfortably. Or are closer girp/elbows foreward pullups just as effective and I don't need to worry about it? I should clarify this isnt one of the ones that hang off the doorframe, this is a bar screwed right into the middle of the passage submitted by /u/bevaka [link] [comments]

How many sets and much rest time should I do for 200 pushups every other day? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 07:14 AM PST I am trying to increase my max pushups, so I decided on something that would be easy to stick to, such as 200 pushups every other day. My current max is about 49. How many sets should I split this into?10×20?20×10? And how much rest time between sets? I've heard 30 seconds-1 minute is ideal for endurance, but I would only be able to sets of 10. submitted by /u/potato_in_disguise [link] [comments]

Upper back soreness after push day? Posted: 27 Feb 2021 04:38 AM PST Hello, i had 4-5 days off training, and yesterday i had my push day (if it matters it is on rings and i do ring dips, ring pushups, archer pushups, ring tricep extension). Today i feel some muscle soreness on my upper back (i think it's the rhomboids). Is this normal or am i fucking up the form on some exercise? submitted by /u/Gentlemaann [link] [comments]

High volume calisthenics Posted: 27 Feb 2021 10:22 AM PST What do you guys think about high volume calisthenics. And when I say high volume I intend like 500 push ups/ pull ups/ dips/ squats a day for example. When I watch these buff calisthenics guys in the parks, that's all they do. Extremly high volume. And they are shredded af ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNzLwsvP_0E submitted by /u/Vdtsver [link] [comments]

HELP PLS(Read until the end) Posted: 27 Feb 2021 09:16 AM PST Where to start. I started calculating my calories about 3 weeks ago. In the first two weeks I ate 2300 calories and lost 0.65 pounds. Then seeing that I was losing weight I put in another 100, so 2400 and guess what? I lost 2 ,77 pounds this week.How much do I need to increase calories until I find my maintenance calories? I tend to mention that I keep weighing myself every day and at the end of the week I look at the highs and the lows and take the middle number, the medium weight, not the average I am 17 years old Male Weight:64.70 kg Height:166 cm Body fat precentage: About 21.45% My workout(giant sets with 5 minutes rest between): Bodyweight squat:10x7 Dips:7x7 Knuckle push ups:10x10 Inverted Rows:11x7 submitted by /u/Crazy_Operation672 [link] [comments]

Accommodating Resistance Early Failure Posted: 27 Feb 2021 09:04 AM PST Hello all, When using hard accommodating resistance type sets (very difficult eccentric and one progression lower concentric), I find I hit failure quickly and I am unable to perform a good series of sets; reps reduced on subsequent sets. In straight sets I try to go one rep short of failure and then to failure on my last set. I was under the impression that accommodating resistance was supposed to be performed at a very high difficulty. Am I missing something? Thanks for your time, submitted by /u/NeatTransportation11 [link] [comments]

I tweaked the RR according to my preference and would love your inputs: Posted: 27 Feb 2021 08:55 AM PST Hey guys, so I went through RR and made a full body workout plan, I would love your feedback: Warm Up: I have a pretty bad posture so I do posture correction for warm up.Following Jeremy Ethier's video, I do sit a lot. 1st Pair: Pull Up, Squats Pull Up: I can only do a single pull up so I am doing this.

What do you guys think of this plan? Any additions or removal? Appreciate your feedback submitted by /u/sweatinghard [link] [comments]

Lower calves body weight exercise Posted: 26 Feb 2021 12:19 PM PST Hi, I went through the recommended routine link and was looking if there is any bodyweight exercise for lower calves, Soleus muscle specifically. I know calf raise in general targets more of the Gastrocnemius or upper calf. I get sore on the lower calves after running and was looking if you guys recommend any bodyweight exercise for that. Thanks a lot. submitted by /u/rajeshdwd [link] [comments]
