| back progress pictures (21F, 54.3 kgs, 157 cm) Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:33 AM PST i got a power tower in the middle of last year (july 2020), and i started out unable to do a single pull-up or chin-up. i went through the progressions in the RR + did dead hangs for almost 6 months, and i was too intimidated by pull-ups so i did chin-up negatives more (lol). ff to the end of december - i did my first chin-up! i was so happy, since i really made it an end-of-the-year goal to be able to do one rep. as of now i can do 3 consecutive pull-ups/chin-ups, and my max dead hang (if i'm really fresh) is 1 minute. click here to see the progress: https://imgur.com/a/PUSMP6q (present day picture is a post-shower one, woops) other things i want to share: - i made the switch to myvegan's protein blend a few days ago, since whey was making me break out terribly (i was on ON Gold Standard before this). while it tastes a lot worse (:/), i have yet to see if this is making me perform better (the xanthan gum is definitely not helpful, it's making me burp a lot...), but other than that, i'm generally on a deficit, trying to eat 1400 calories a day and lose the stubborn belly fat. - other things i'm working on: dips (doing angled bar ones since i don't have parallel bars; at 6 reps maximum rn so i'm working on increasing them + hitting 90 degrees every rep), pistol squats (still doing them elevated + with weight plates for counterbalance), the handstand, and the L-sit (yay for the Skill Day Routine!). cheers to good nutrition and fitness!!

| Recommended Routine App for IOS Posted: 05 Feb 2021 06:06 AM PST I finally managed to finish the IOS Version of my RR App. It took me longer than I thought. Who knew how much work it is. 😅 I am very excited for what you think and if there are some massive bugs I missed. Heres the Link: Progressive Workouts (IOS) It has the Recommended Routine Workout, the Minimalist Workout and the Skill Day Routine. It is completely free and without ads. (There is a donation option) Your Feedback would be very appreciated. It has most of the features of the Android App. Currently the main features of the app are:
Now that the IOS Version is finished I have more time for developing new features. On my List are:
This things are often requested. Are you missing something else? For all the Android users, here is a link to the Play Store: Progressive Workouts (Android) [link] [comments] |
| Yuri's Shoulder Band Warmup: A Word of Caution Posted: 05 Feb 2021 08:31 AM PST I recently injured both rotator cuffs with these bad boys. I checked my form 100 times, and I was spot on. I had a doctors appointment with a sports medicine specialist. When I showed her the movement, you should have seen the face she made. "I wouldn't recommend that exercise to someone even if they had VERY healthy shoulders. That is just too much stress on the rotator cuff." I am sure these work for some of you, and more power to you if they do. But, for me, I will be taking these out of my routine. Doctor's orders. [link] [comments] |
| Do you actually enjoy training? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:37 AM PST I hate almost every minute of my workout. It's boring and tiring and I'd honestly prefer doing anything else. But soon after finishing the last rep of the last set of the last exercise I'm really proud of myself and the feeling of slow but constant progress is preventing me to give up. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:05 PM PST Was able to hold my L sit for 15 seconds. I will now work on my form and efficiency. I started with barely being able to push off the floor, to just holding myself up for a couple of seconds, and now we are here. It is not perfect, but I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the movement. Stats, 47yo, 5'8", 158 lbs. I'm a few pounds over my ideal weight, and where i feel in better shape. Happy Training [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:08 PM PST this below is my current bodyweight workout, I would like an evaluation from users who are already experienced in bodyweight training: Monday i start whit warm up, and dynamic stretching, and after this i start my workout like this: Back workout\Pull ups progression, my current pull up max is 3 reps (this workout only for 2 time x week) 1- Scapular pull ups 3 set of 10 rep, 60s rest 2- elastic band pull up 3 set of 6 rep 60s rest 3- inverted row (pull up grip) 3 set of 8 rep 60s rest 4- negative pull ups 2 sets of (i work up for 30s descent) after back workout i do core workout: 1- Plank i hold 30s and i rest 30s for 15 set 2- side planks raises 10 rep per side, 45s rest, 3 set after core workout i do, push up workout to increase the number of repetitions: (i can do only 12 max repetitions on push ups so i workout for increase repetitions) 1- push up, the reps change with each completed workout, for example i do 5-5-6-7 and other day i do 6-5-6-7, only this. (60s rest after complete a set) after the only push up exercise i rest 1 minutes and i do an arms workout: 3 rounds whit this exercise 1- triceps extension 8 reps, 45s rest and i do 2- bodyweight curls 8 reps 45s rest 3- skull crushers 8 rep 45s rest 4- plank triceps get ups for 30s and 1 minutes rest, and repeat from first exercise until i do 3 rounds. (after finish all workouts i do a cool down, static stretching and relax) Tuesday on this day i start whit: (warm up first) abs workout: 1- Flutter kicks 30s 2- russian twist 30s 3- scissors 30s 3- single leg crunch 10 x legs 3 rounds, 45s rest between exercises, and 60s between rounds dips workout: i do only dips on parallel bar, i can do 10 dips so I do half of it, maybe one day i do 5-6-4-4-5, other day 6-6-5-5-6 etc... (60s rest for sets) after dips workout i do a L-sit progression and a handstand progression, for L-sit i just hold the position for 25s and i rest 60s for 3 set, for handstand i do kicks up and I try to balance by helping myself with the wall, and i do some handstand whit the wall, i hold some seconds then i rest and repeat, maybe some handstand push up whit the wall assisted me. legs workout i do just basic legs workout, i have already strong legs, I already know how to do pistol squats without having trained them, I often ride a bike and I already have trained legs, so i don't care about legs. after this workouts i do stretching and i relax. Wednesday, i do the same workouts in Monday. Thursday, i do the same workouts like in Tuesday Friday, like monday but i dont do pull ups workouts, so I replace the pull ups with handstands, dips and L.-sit workout like in the others days. Saturday i do dynamic stretch and statics stretch, and i workout like in Tuesday, Sunday i just rest, and i do some stretching and i go train whit bicycle and sometimes i swim. so what do you think of my workouts? are they valid as they are? or do I have to change something? or am I doing everything wrong? thanks to all those who will answer me.

| Fighter Pullup Program 3x per Week? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 06:03 AM PST I've just started the program with an 8 rep max. The program calls for pullups 5 days straight with only one rest day. Can it be done but only 3 times a week? What about twice per week? I feel like I'll get impingement if I were to do it as prescribed, but I'm worried that decreasing the frequency will kill the momentum of the program. [link] [comments] |
| Why are paralletes so expensive? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 03:30 AM PST Literally looked at every store they sell them for 70 to 90€ which is ridiculous for couple of plastics. I can go to my craft class and make wooden ones for free what the hell is the reason for this? Even my pull up bar was way cheaper [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:10 PM PST everytime I do push ups I dont stop because I cant push through anymore, its because the blood flow to my arms feels so weird that I just stop, but I really want to keep going for more, does anyone recommend any tips ? [link] [comments] |
| Carryover in reps from wide pullups to regular pullups Posted: 05 Feb 2021 08:39 AM PST So i always like to grip wider cus a-lot of the elite pullers i know and see pull wide also i just like them more. Now im wondering if that means i can do more regular grip pull-ups because a-lot of people say the wide ones are harder. Does anyone know if this is the case because right now i can do about 15 wide ones would that mean that my max normal grip ones would be like a few more or just the same. Also i grip with semi false grip to get more rom so its not the half rep bodybuilder pull-ups i also don't grip insanely wide i grip more like 2 fists outside shoulder width. [link] [comments] |
| It’s good to get full planche with shitty form and later fix it? Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:51 PM PST Hi my question is, it really maters if I get my full planche with bad form (not protracted, hips above shoulders) but fix it later? Or should I have a perfect form from the beginning? I'm asking because the majority of great athletes with full planche they got it with shitty form at first and then fixed Thanks for your help!

| Will my body weight strength and overall athleticism go away if I bulk up a little bit Posted: 04 Feb 2021 07:40 PM PST So right now I am 5'7 and 143 pounds. Trying to get up to 150-155. I have pretty good body weight strength, I can do a mile in under in 7 minutes, 50 consecutive pushups, 20 dips, 15 pullups, and 3 muscle ups. Anyways I'm happy with my strength but I want add a little bit of mass to better my aesthetic because I look small and skinny right now. So I am starting to do weightlifting and calisthenics while eating in a calorie surplus to gain muscle. My only concern is will my numbers decrease for my bodyweight exercises? Because my goal is to gain weight, I am 143 right now and im trying to go up to 150-155, Im just hoping that as long as I gain only muscle my body weight strength will stay the same.

| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 07:36 PM PST I've made decent effort in doing L sits. I started with the RR and finally can do almost full L sit. (I can do 30 sec with only hands contacting the ground, only reason why I say almost is because I'm still working on flexibility and get my legs completely straight). I like doing L sits because I feel so strong and I'm making good progress with core but I also hate doing them too bc they are just so god damn hard. I already feel like I'm going full effort the moment I get off the ground. Probably one of the hardest exercises I've ever done. I think I just might be complaining tho [link] [comments] |
| upside pullups for bodyweight shrugs? Posted: 04 Feb 2021 10:31 PM PST Any benefit to doing an upside down pullup to work traps, like a reverse shrug? I guess a shrug is neither open nor closed kinetic chain? [link] [comments] |
| How to train just for strength? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:52 AM PST I don't want too much muscles. I'm already heavy (5'9 and 185lbs). I started with boxing and it would be better if I lost weight but get stronger. How should I train for pure strength and power? No hypertrophy. [link] [comments] |
| How to do pull ups on a fat bar? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:41 AM PST So , currently the only place I can do pull ups is on the fat bar supporting the swings in the park. I am finding it extremely difficult to do pull ups on it, as I can't even wrap my entire palm around the bar. Any advice on grips etc. that would help me increase my pull up count. Also, the skin on my hands is getting torn(callused) when I use this pull up bar , is it normal? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:09 PM PST Hello guys. I am trying for months to so l sit pull ups but my back always curve. I can do 20 pull ups in a row with perfect form but when i try l sit my shoulders shrug and my back is rounded. What is happening? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 12:56 PM PST Hello everyone ! I want to start prioritizing more the skills mentioned in the title. Currently I am training 3 days a week with the RR and on rest days I stretch and try the skills. Would I progress faster if I train for strength ( 1 to 5 reps with more weight and 2+min of rest) instead of hypertrophy (6/12 reps and 1.30/2min rest)? Thanks! Edit: training for strength in the RR, I already know the progressions for the skills [link] [comments] |
