| Anyone else switch over to BWF/home workouts full time from the gym? Posted: 16 Mar 2021 05:36 AM PDT I used to be an avid gymgoer and went 5x a week to lift weights. I did some BWF along the side too, mostly pull ups and dips at the park. When the pandemic hit a year ago, I had to stop going to the gym since they all closed and switched to BWF full time. At first it sucked because I was basically only limited to pull ups, push ups, and dips and it got boring pretty fast. However, I got a set of rings during the summer (hanging it up on my doorway pull up bar) and it has been a complete game-changer. Since I WFH, nowadays I'm able to get a solid workout in throughout my day which saves a ton of time. I usually do sets throughout the day, and oftentimes when there's a lull during work I can get a good workout in. Ring workouts are fun but I lowkey prefer weights SLIGHTLY more... eventually when I get a house I definitely want to have a home gym setup. But what tips the scales for me is the amount of time I save every day. In the past I had to dedicate an extra hour per day to the gym (luckily I used to live next to mine), but nowadays since my workouts are spread out through my working every day I basically get that extra hour back. The main benefit of BWF for me over weights is the amount of "functional" strength I get. I do grappling and tricking as well and I feel like the heightened amount of body awareness and core strength from BWF has definitely spilled into grappling/tricking performance. Also, rings has definitely been healthier for my joints (esp shoulders) compared to weights... I used to always have really sore rotator cuffs after lifting but nowadays even after hard BWF sessions I rarely ever have shoulder pain anymore. Just wondering if anyone else here has had a similar experience switching over to BWF full time. My exercises for anyone who's curious: Push - Ring dips/RTO dips Ring pushups Pseudo-planche pushups Pull - Regular pullups OAC isometric holds (still working on a full OAC) Rows 360 degree pulls + back levers [link] [comments] |
| Quick routine for joint health? Posted: 15 Mar 2021 12:15 PM PDT Hi guys. It seems that I'm rather prone to developing arthritis, and I'm trying to build a quick routine to keep my joints as healthy as possible. Ideally I would like to move everything through its full ROM, with control under modest load. "Molding Mobility" is mentioned in the FAQ, but the link is broken. I'm strong and flexible enough to do a fair assortment of movements, but don't really want a "work out" for this purpose. Any suggestions on where to start? [link] [comments] |
