| First chest day in like 7 years Posted: 08 Feb 2021 07:28 PM PST I'm in the middle of an Apple Watch activity competition with a friend, and since we had a big snow day, I decided to do a quick chest day at home. This was my first chest day since I stopped lifting seriously around 2014. I'm so embarrassed, it made me glad no one else saw me doing it because my arms have become so weak. 3 sets of on-the-knees push-ups just absolutely killed my arms to the point that I couldn't shake my protein mix after working out. My forearms are so swollen right now. It's almost a little sad how much strength I've lost. Oh well. At least it's Day 1 and I can only get better from here on out. Shout out to the person that posted the workout template a couple weeks ago (twoworkouts) [link] [comments] |
| How can I learn or train to stabilize my body with dips? Posted: 09 Feb 2021 10:44 AM PST I feel that I lack stabilization when going down in dips on parallel bars [link] [comments] |
| Static skills level have gotten worse Posted: 09 Feb 2021 10:38 AM PST Hi! [link] [comments] |
| Will weighted push-ups increase my normal push-ups reps? Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:06 PM PST If I do weighted push-ups will it increase my push-ups without any added weight? I want to get my push-up reps higher for the military. Currently I can do 41 bodyweight push-ups. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2021 10:39 AM PST Hello all, can i only do pushups ? I don't mean only regular pushups but different types. Currently i can't do chin ups etc. Im worry if this will lead to any problem or something, thanks if someone take the time to answer me. :) [link] [comments] |
| Hands slip a lot during Diamond pushups Posted: 09 Feb 2021 10:48 AM PST My hands slip quite a bit when doing diamond pushups (mostly because of the sweat) on mats and floor and I usually get irritated and give up before reaching my max. I can't really go outside and do it since it's freezing where I live. Any recs on how others deal with it? [link] [comments] |
| How do you Explosive Pull Ups? Posted: 09 Feb 2021 05:59 AM PST I cant do anything but a normal pull up. I cant "explode" at all. Never getting high. Cant do them fast either. How do I build up? I can do up to 15x pull ups in one set. (not always. numbers are inconsistent). I haven't found a single video that actually helped me. Or post for that matter. How do i do it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2021 02:25 PM PST English is probably my third language, so excusè moi. In this pics, I don't flex, my muscles are relaxed and the lightning is from the front. Am i doing good so far or is there something i should work on? I'm not doing the recommended routine, because i don't have the equipment to do pull ups and rows and yes i literally can't even do the door towel thing, so i do the workouts that I'm capable of. I workout in the basement and it's full of stuff and no stable table to do rows under. At the start i couldn't do one push up, now i can almost do 2 sets of 20 which i think is quite a good progress. I'm trying my hardest everytime but i still feel like I'm not doing enough somehow, like i workout to the point where i breath through my ears and my throat burns but still not that satisfied. Also you can see this huge Gap between my pecs, I'm curious if it's gonna fill up in the future or is it just bad genetics and there ain't nothing i can do about it. I have anxiety disorder and unwanted thoughts (OCD) as well, some days i could sleep for like 4 to 6 hours which i know is really bad, but it can't be helped. I do the 478 breathing exercise and i take some natural calming pills and i still wake up after 5 hours or sth. [link] [comments] |
| Struggling to engage Internal Obliques and it's becoming frustrating Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:25 PM PST Hi! I'm currently just progressing the BWF Primer routine while incorporating some exercises that seem useful/interest me. Everything is going well so far. What I'm still struggling with is activating my Internal Obliques. I feel like I can manage to do so very briefly while lying on my back, but surely not throughout 10 seconds or so of doing a Deadbug. Overall it's most likely to work when I'm lying on the side, but when trying to build that into other exercises, it feels like mostly the External are working. It's so hard to tell though! So, how does one actually activate them? What does it feel like and how to I keep the other muscles from tensing w/ them (or instead)? I'd appreciate any advice! (I'm female btw, 5"2 or so, somewhat longer into weight training already - if it's relevant) Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:24 PM PST It doesnt matter if its an arm extended plank or just a bent arm plank, but my upper left ribs feel like they are grinding together when im doing them. Everything is normal at the right side, is it just because I need to do them more? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2021 11:59 AM PST Do y'all have any stories of recovering from long-term joint troubles and bouncing back and being able to lift again? Thanks y'all [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2021 05:55 PM PST I'm not in a great place mentally so I'd like to start working out, just not entirely sure where to start. It's also been difficult trying to figure out when to actually workout because I work 3 night shifts a week, and so the rest of the week my sleeping pattern follows that and I don't actually see any daylight. I'm 5'6 and I currently weigh 59KG which is mostly just fat, and my goal is to gain muscle and get fitter. Should I eat more/less? Any workout routines I should follow? I currently have resistant bands but that's pretty much it [link] [comments] |
| Planche training and overtraining Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:53 PM PST I'm not new to training (I usually powerlift but the gyms are closed) but I am new to most bodyweight exercises. I am planning to train for the planche. I came across this article when it comes to programming. http://stevenlow.org/how-to-program-for-advanced-isometric-movements-after-a-plateau/ Thoughts? Any tips? And most of all, is it still ok if I train other upper body parts on different days? I was thinking about doing dips and pull ups to maintain some different strengths. Or can I expect to injure myself by overtraining? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:49 PM PST I have really been getting bodyweight fitness /calisthenics the past 4 weeks... So it's been a lot to learn. Anyways, my question is about pistol Squats. I can do the full range of motion (up and down) a few times each side, but what kills me is that I can't keep my unused leg straight... What should I be doing to fix that? I am guessing some mobility exercises? If so, which ones? [link] [comments] |
| Weakness on the bottom part of the pullup Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:35 PM PST My L-sit pull ups and explosive pull ups (I'm training for the muscle-up) are both suffering from the same problem: I have difficulties in the bottom part of the pull. After retracting and depressing my scapulas, it seems that getting my elbows to initially bend is very hard. Both exercises become much, and I mean much easier when I start with slightly bend elbows (in fact I can't even do a single L-sit pull up from a dead hang). With explosive pull ups, it also seems that if I start from a dead hang I'll either turn it into a lat pulldown or just a normal pull up, and just "pulling faster" doesn't help at all. For reference, I can do about 13 clean bodyweight pull ups and 8 reps of +5kg. So my question is, did anyone else experience this and knows what's it caused by and how can I fix it? For now I'm gonna try to do more negatives (some weighted ones too) and really focus on the bottom part, but I was wondering if there was anything else I could try. [link] [comments] |
| Shin Splints making it difficult to stick to my resolve to run everyday, any advice? Posted: 09 Feb 2021 12:06 PM PST Will the pain go away if I just keep at it? I can't afford to stop running now that I have momentum. I've always been bad at keeping to my resolves so I fear if I stop running now because of the pain I might go back to my no exercise lifestyle [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2021 11:53 AM PST I've been looking for answers for this problem for a while, and maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but I can't seem to do rows with full ROM towards the end of my set. Is that normal? I'm wondering bc it feels like I'm not actually going to failure. I've had this same problem with barbell rows as well. Any ideas as to what I can do to fix this? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Feb 2021 11:14 AM PST Hey guys, been a calisthenics athlete for nine years now, and just looking for advice sustaining endurance while also strength training and possibly gaining weight. I jump rope for endurance, but recently I have been doing that once a week and mostly strength training with about 40% of my bodyweight. For the hell of it I did 100 burpees the other day and timed myself at 8:40. Would I be better off trying to lower this time and take out a strength training day so my endurance doesn't lack? I know body builder types train differently during the seasons, bulking and cutting phase. Wondering how you guys maintain? [link] [comments] |
| Rest days for pyramid training for pullups Posted: 09 Feb 2021 07:27 AM PST I started doing pyramid training for pullups. I've done it for about a week now and I started doing it 2 days in a row and taking a rest day. I go up to 7 and then go back down to 1, doing 44 pull-ups in total. I've been feeling pretty tired from doing this and I'm wondering how often I should take rest days. Should I take 2 rest days at a time instead of just 1? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2021 08:51 PM PST What are your goals in terms of PR, nutrition, and/ over all health. Be super detailed. How/what r u doing to achieve these goals [link] [comments] |
| Rows too easy, tuck front lever rows way too hard Posted: 09 Feb 2021 02:11 AM PST My range of motion on tuck front lever rows are terrible. I'm only able to pull to about where my arms are just parallel. How the hell do I increase the ROM? It feels impossible. I would like to get to a point where I can get my hands to touch my hips. Continuing to do these partial ROM rows seems pointless... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Feb 2021 04:19 PM PST So I am a female and I never really noticed until recently but I'm pretty sure I have rib flare and I was looking for the best way to fix it as I'm pretty sure it's due to my bad ab engagement during ah exercises. I have seen that dead bugs and bellows breath exercises are supposed to be good to see results. Both of my ribs are flared the same amount one isn't more flared than the other if that means anything.

| how much time do you spend training? help Posted: 08 Feb 2021 02:25 PM PST Over time i have become strong but sometimes my workouts take 4 hours or more (sometimes 6) including warmup 20/30min and final stretches.
