| I am 15 (nearly 16) and I would like to start "working out" Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:47 AM PST Basically the title says it all, I am a 15 y. o. that looks like a minecraft skeleton and I hate that. I would like to start doing something with myself but I am too "shy" to go to the gym right on cuz of how I look. So firstly I would like to do some exercises at home, then I would like to move it to the gym. So main point why I am here is to ask you what is the best thing to do. (at home) I have access to a bike and I sometimes go for a ride with my friend (Spring, Summer, Autumn) but my condition is terrible. (I have a light asthma and when I get too exhausted I need to stop completely and take a breath or use Ventolin) but I have acces to a bike. I am only asking for some normal people to help me and not for some hahas to make fun of me or whatever. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Exercises to prevent tendonitis during one arm training? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 07:03 AM PST I've read a lot of scary stories about people having tendonitis as a result of training for one arm pull up. As a result I've reduced my workout frequency while training for OAP, but I wanted to ask some of you guys who have had more experience than me: What do you do/did you do/ to prevent tendonitis while learning the OAP? I've heard high volume bicep curls help strengthen the tendons. Im curious to hear other methods and experiences too. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Feb 2021 06:37 AM PST Hey guys, Beginner and long-time lurker here. so I got my pbars today and went on to try the L-sit. and would love get some help on how to progress further herE: Supporting myself on the pbars was no problem, getting on leg up neither but I could not get the second leg up. Can somebody point me in the direction what I would need to work on? If you need more information from me/about me just let me know Thanks alot [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||

| What is the best training routine only using pushups to get stronger/increase pushup count? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:15 AM PST (my max is only 25 to 30) and right now I am doing 100 pushups a day in sets of 25 with a rest day every 4 days [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| [Program Review] Stronger by Science 2.0 as weighted chin-up specialisation program Posted: 02 Feb 2021 11:28 PM PST Intro I've had the goal of achieving one arm chin-ups for about 3 years now. I've tried various methods of progression: weighted chin-ups, assisted OACs and negatives. Weighted chin-ups and assisted OACs gave me tendonitis (which still flare up regularly now) and I didn't push the negatives. Regardless, due to the history of injury, after 3 years I still feel still very far away from OAC. After gyms re-opened from COVID lockdowns, I decided I'd give the OAC another fair, slow and steady shot. In my experience, weighted pull-ups felt the best for me, so I decided to try using a strength training program to see where that would get me. Set-up I used the SBS2 Reps to Failure program. What this is a basically 5 sets a session, with the last set AMRAP. Depending on how many reps you manage in the last set, the program regulates the load for the next workout. I chucked all the powerlifting lifts aside (squats, bench, and deadlift), and only keyed in weighted chin-ups. The program calls for a main lift and two variations of the lift. I chose weighted chin-ups as my main lift, and weighted pull-ups and lat-pull downs as my variations. My auxiliary lifts were only bicep curls. High rep low load, various different grips, as prehab work against tendonitis. Everything else was on maintenance, 3 sets of 6-12reps. Basically whatever equipment was available in the gym. This is primarily because I have very limited time in the gym and cannot afford to wait. Basically, I ran SBS2 as a weighted chin-up specialization program. I ran 2 blocks for a total of 14 weeks (SBS2 is a 21 week program consisting of 3 blocks. The final block is a peaking block that I decided to skip). Results
Program review I really like this program. The auto-regulation works well, and at no point did I feel like the program was overly brutal. The first 4 sets generally feel easy and weighted chin-ups do not feel that hard to AMRAP for me. Also, during this program my work was extremely stressful, sleep was mediocre due to a new baby, and diet was crap for the same reason. Yet I'm surprised I made good progress. But what's most important to me was that I reached a new max with no injury. I did not even get any flare up on my tendonitis. As chronic injury has always been an immovable obstacle to my OAC progress, this is seriously everything that I could have asked for. Moving forward I originally planned to run a cycle of Smolov Jr after this program to ride on the conditioning to weighted chin-ups and avoid injury. However, with the results SBS2 has given me, I decided I'll continue to run this until it stops working for me, or until I get my OAC. My next cycle I'll run this program on a cut, goal simply would be to maintain strength and reduce my bodyweight, driving % added weight up. Goal would be to eventually hit +90% which I think I've seen as the cut-off to be able to "just OAC". I highly recommend this program, not just for chin-ups, but really any lift. You can go to /r/weightroom to see the glowing reviews for this program, but I thought I'd add my calisthenics focused perspective. Bonus question For those who have gotten OAC primarily via weighted chin-ups, any advice on what accessories could be added? I feel very weak in the beginning part of the pull, so I'll be adding one-armed scapular shrugs. Happy to hear from those who have gone before me though! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||

| Returning after a long time away...best core strength exercises to avoid injuries? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 12:09 PM PST Hey all, sorry if this is asked a billion times, I've found it hard to get decent tips on this when I've searched a bunch of different sites and boards. [29M] here, I used to do a lot of calisthenics a few years ago and I was really fit. These days though, totally the opposite. I still have the muscle but I'm carrying a lot more fat now and lockdown + being busy with work has really diminished my core strength in particular. As a result, I'm getting a lot of muscle pulls and injuries when I'm starting to work out that keep derailing my programme back to square one. I'd like to strengthen my back and core with something compatible with my currently poor cardio and strength levels so I can fix this. What do you think is the best for doing this without maiming myself for weeks? I've been trying out yoga and it seems like a good start for building up again, but it's hard to know where to begin after falling so far from my previous fitness. Maybe squats for the glute strength? I hear that makes a big difference with back muscles and so on too? Thanks for taking the time to read this, any insights appreciated :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Recommendation for a straight bar pullup tower in Canada? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 11:26 AM PST I have noticed that doing my pullups only on an I Beam and rings for the last 10 months have really made me lose some bar specific grip strength for pull ups, even though I do a lot of deadlifts which I find strange Anyway, I am looking for a recommendation on a pullup tower I can put in a room that has just a straight bar. No curves or fancy stuff Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Is 10-15 minutes rest too long for hypertrophy gains on Pull Ups? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:14 AM PST I've been doing 5 sets of 9 pull ups twice a week with 10-15 minutes rest per set so that I don't reach failure until the last 1-2 sets. My main goal is to do 5 sets of 10 and increase my strength but I'm curious if hypertrophy will be limited because of the long rest periods. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Front Lever ruined by Dynamics? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 08:28 AM PST 6.2 / 205LBS After years of work, I achieved a 5-6 seconds Full Front Lever. I then stopped all FL work "FL holds and negatives" and only did FL rows with lower progressions "One leg Front lever rows and slow gap increases to the bent leg to get closer to FULL" Did this for a month and a half. I then try FL again and I can't hold FULL FL and I can only do straddle for 3-4 seconds. How is this possible when the whole month and a half I was doing a legit FL progression? It took me years to reach Full FL and all it took to lose it was a month and a half of doing FL rows? Stuff like that ever happen to anyone? Am I forced to practice FL holds at least one a week for life to maintain it? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| How can I avoid muscle numbness?? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 12:18 PM PST Some times when Iam at the gym working out my muscles start to feel like kind of numb or tipsy like if they didn't have any force in them i don't know why this happens and i want to know if there is a way to avoid this hopefully i explained myself well enough so you know what i mean. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Anyone tried the Bodyweight Tribe gym rings routine? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 11:24 AM PST I've just started it myself, just wondering what sort of results other people have found with it. Also, what sort of split did you use? As the routine only gives you the sessions, not how often you should be performing them. I'm doing push on Monday, pull on Tuesday, then push on Friday and pull on Saturday. With cardio/yoga/rest days mixed in on the other days. What sort of splits did other people do?

| Minor Victory Dips Post! Negatives to 333 to 778 a set! Posted: 03 Feb 2021 11:00 AM PST Just wanted to share my happiness and satisfaction in my dip progress, one particular exercise that I've always seemed discouraged on. Been following RR for about a year albeit I had a 5 month hiatus in the middle due to wrecking my ankle pretty bad and not having the motivation to do any exercise, even if just upper body. Dips have always been my most rued exercise cause they're my most difficult exercise and reps have been relatively low. The past Monday, I finally did 7-7-8 reps of dips in a set for the first time. Just a month ago, I maxed out 4-5-5 and there was also noticeable "tremors" in my forearms, kind of like nerve pulses that always made me nervous. (read up on it and saw that it's maybe just a matter of muscles not used to that kind of stress) Anyways. I started from 5-5-5 P-bar dips last January, back down to 3-3-3 after rehabbing my body, going back to negatives, to now at 7-7-8! Weighted dips are now on the horizon!

| Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:26 AM PST So I've been doing this exercise lately in my routines but tbh I don't really feel it in my triceps. I feel it in my elbows (it doesn't make my elbows hurt though) and it feels super stressing on my body but are there really any benefits to this exercise? It feels like a show off move instead of a move to make your triceps stronger. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Can you build muscle with high reps? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:24 AM PST I have pretty good endurance when it comes to working out in order for me to feel like I'm almost near failure I have to do around 30-40 reps but not sure if it's going to give me muscle mass or endurance. Can someone help me out? Btw the main exercise i have problems with this is variant Forms of push ups. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Most Ideal Workout for 100 Pushups a Day? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:05 AM PST For context (teen, male can do about 25 pushups at once). Right now I am doing 100 pushups a day in 4 sets of 25. I take a rest day after every 3 days of work. I was just wondering if there was any better way to stimulate growth than doing what I am currently doing. Any kind of comment is welcomed, I don't know a lot about this stuff so I am probably doing it all wrong. Edit: What can I do to increase my pushup count quickly [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| How to build up mussels without going to any gym? Posted: 03 Feb 2021 10:02 AM PST Hi, I have a busy life and no time go GYM for workout. But I want build up my mussels. So can I know what kind of schedule is suitable for me. I'm 31 years old. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:58 AM PST Im pretty sure I have a wide rib age. Is there any workouts or things I can do to make my waist appear smaller? I know there's no way to change my rib cage since it's bone so I'm looking for ways to get around this. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Chronic GERD or acid reflux issues Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:56 AM PST Hi guys, I have GERD and it has plagued me for nearly three years. If I exercise at all, lifting (squeezing), pushing, (squeezing or horizontal positioning), cardio (bouncing) it sends acid into my esophagus. I've been on different medicines and while they do work, I would rather not be on them as some of the side effects are terrible, even stated by my gastroenterologist. I am skinny fat, 5'10" and 142lbs. I made great progress when I was lifting consistently, drinking weight gainer shakes, etc, but sometimes the food was too much and I forced myself to eat it. Unfortunately, I and my gastroenterologist assume this damaged part of my esophageal sphincter and introduced GERD. I want to be fit again and think I may have no choice, but to be on esomeprazole for the rest of my life. Do any of you have experience with weightlifting and GERD or acid reflux? How do you get past it? TLDR: Chronic acid reflux stops me from working out, but I want to be fit. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:49 AM PST I want to start the push pull legs split buy I don't know what exercise to include for each one and how to add skills into the training can somebody help me out? Thank you ! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| When should I take my protein shake Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:18 AM PST I'm currently doing a 16:8 intermittent fasting. My fasting window starts on 8PM and I usually start working out by 11PM. Is it okay if I take my protein shake on my last meal around 8PM. Before I did IF, I'm consuming my protein shake right after workout. Will I get the samw benefit if I take it together with my last meal 3 hours before workout. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:06 AM PST As the title suggests... Have we stopped posting the monthly physique threads? :( [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||
