| Progress: I can do 100 Navy Seals & 100 Kickout Burpees now Posted: 21 Mar 2021 01:33 PM PDT It's still Lockdown here in Germany, it's still cold, and I'm still doing my High Rep Burpees. This means I've been doing them for a half year now. I think I made some great fitness improvements compared to weight lifting in the gym.
Progress In January I managed to do 100 navy seal burpees with a pace of 15s per burpee - a total time of about 25 minutes. I've posted this video as progress post back than - so you can check, that this pushed me to my limits back than. Today I can do 100 Navy Seals and 100 kickout burpees - and the workload is ok.
How did I train for this?
I often did burpees as interval training, so a small number of burpees at a pace that I could only keep up for a few minutes. For example: 20x Navy Seal burpees with 9s pace per burpee, one minute rest and the whole thing repeated 5 times. I'm pretty sure, that this contribute to my cardio vascular gains.
I have been inspired by running workout plans. So I've often done burpees as interval training, meaning a small number of burpees at a pace I can only keep up for a few minutes. For example: 20x Navy Seal burpees with 9s pace per burpee, one minute rest and the whole thing repeated 5 times. Or casual workouts with a slow pace. And training sessions with a very high number of repetitions (>100) limited to max. once a week, because they always require a few days of recovery (I am 31 after all).
The workout
Here you can see my workout: 100 navy seals & 100 Kickout burpees with constant pace
Some other learnings:
Warning:
Check this post about high repetition plank/push-up/squad challenges from the FAQ:
The advantage over plank/push-up/squad challenges: You have a more hollistic workout if you do burpees. Make sure that you have variances in your workouts. [link] [comments] |
| Starting to train 4 times a week, need advice Posted: 21 Mar 2021 01:25 PM PDT Hi, from tomorrow I'm starting to train 4 times a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) and I'd like some advice. I'd like to do a split, what do you recommend? I was thinking of 2 days of pulling and 2 of pushing, including some legs in two of these days and also core and complementing exercises. Is it not recommendable to do full body 4 times a week? I'm not really sure on what to do because on the pull days, for example, I don't know many exercises: I'd do pullups and rows, and also some chinups maybe, but what else? I'll gladly take recommendations and/or links to training programs. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] |
| As a beginner, am I doing well? Posted: 21 Mar 2021 03:06 PM PDT I havent really stuck to a consistent schedule all my life and i plan to change it. Ive always been a semi active person, i played sports, did karate, and did very well in everything i tried. I dont got much gear so i stick to calisthentics and such, and im trying to venture into boxing. Im only 15, 145 lbs, and i started my schedule basically a few days ago. I havent made a big regimen yet so atm i stick to this schedule (this is also in order of how i do it, no rest inbetween any exercise) -25 pushups -35 squats -35 situps Repeat last three -5 pullups -50 calf raises -5 pullups -35 roman twists Repeat last four but with 75 calf raises To finish -10 pushups -10 squats -10 situps -10 calf raises -10 roman twists -10 pullups This seems to do me in pretty well, i like how quick it is, usually takes 20 to 30 minutes and works up a great sweat I want to know if this is good, i want to improve upon the schedule to make it more intensive as i like intense exercise but for the time being this is what i got. I just wanted to know if this is a good starting position as i compare myself to others too much and i feel like im doing really badly, so i wanted an unbiased pov. Anything helps thanks!

| (F20) I'm not sure where to start and what to do. Posted: 21 Mar 2021 10:55 AM PDT Hello! I am not sure if this is where I should post but I am looking to start my fitness journey somewhere hopefully I could get some guidance. I am a 20 year old woman with no weight lifting experience at all. I am not necessarily lazy but I no condition and very little physical strength. It was fine when I was 15 but now when I turned 20, or really since a year or so back I feel so lifeless and lacking in energy it's almost embarassing. I feel like I am suddenly 20 years older than I actually am. I can't run very far without getting exhausted, nor can I lift any amount worth mentioning. I am fairly tall, 5'9" / 176 cm and very slim. Don't think my weight matters that much but should probably be slightly higher than that it is. What I think should be my goal is to build a little bit of muscle and actually have some energy left to do other things. Now, I don't have energy for anything really, even if I spend most of the day in bed so, while I rather stay slim to some degree, sorting out my condition and gaining some muscle or at least some strength seems approperiate. So where do you guys think I should start? Flexible alternatives is appreciated, so I could complete some of my routine at home or away if I need to. I don't have my expectations set high but I know my lack of physical strength is what makes me so tired all the time. I have just signed up to boxing training with a friend, I am not sure if it is going to be a good idea but doing something with a friend felt like a good idea for motivation if nothing else. Thanks!

| Adding yoga and cardio to my PPL routine UPDATE #1 Posted: 21 Mar 2021 07:46 AM PDT So about two weeks ago, I posted about adding yoga and cardio to my training regime. EDIT: Post I survived. I was really worried going into it on monday (first day of new regime) with a run and some shadow boxing, and I also felt tired AF after it. After I did my afternoon push workout I felt amazing. My workout was somehow more enjoyable and my body was more flexible and strong (felt it when I was warming up). On other days that I did yoga and didn't go for a run, was refreshing. If you do it right after waking up, you can feel every muscle, laying down for savasana was so good, I just can't explain it. Feelt like I was high kinda haha. Today and last week (sunday) was my rest day. I had so much energy, and just felt really good. I think that extra stretching really helped (due to yoga), and those runs filled me with energy. So for the first two weeks I feel amazing. Really motivated to continue and keep updating a little bit. Im not really good with posts and stuff but if you're interested in more, I will keep updating it. This is my experience, I'm doing this for fun. If you feel good training 3x times a week or 5x or whatever you feel like and have time for it + it works for you just keep it up. Frequency doesn't always mean it's better for you. This is just my little update, I hope I give you some motivation or insight into different training styles. Keep it up champs, BWF for life :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Mar 2021 03:23 PM PDT So basically I've been over thinking on the gym and finally sat down and thought about how I wanted to look. What i really wanna look like is similar to Bruce Lee, strong and lean. I know he did calisthenics and i was reading that to achieve this physique I have to do weights and calisthenics. So question, if i go to the gym in the morning, in the afternoon can I do callisthenic training? Yes, I will stay on track and be consentient. I am young, so i believe I have enough energy to do this in a day. With eating, i am reading that he never ate a lot. He had 5 meals throughout the day, I want to do something similar and possibly eat some fruits throughout the day. Also, I read that you have to eat in maintenance. Please add any info/tips. Needa be great for the summer [link] [comments] |

| Struggeling a bit to get back into training. Posted: 21 Mar 2021 06:15 AM PDT Hi, I've been really into BWF for the last year. I have been rockclimbing now for quite some time, so the entry was rather easy for me - I already possessed quite some relative strength. Also, climbing and BWF do go hand-in-hand amazingly: Even if I was not motivated to train BWF for some weeks, I did not really lose progress as I was rockingclimbing about 3 times a week, and therefore basically used all of my muscles and did not lose any strength. Well, I have not been climbing since last October due to the covid restrictions in my country. I have also had a long training break, from about november until january, as I suffered from repetetive tonsillitis. Now, getting back into training for me is quite challenging. First, I do still feel the sword of " getting another episode of tonsillitis " hanging over my head. I really want to avoid over-training as this had likely weaked my immune system in the first place. Second, I have recently entered a new relationship - I prefer to spend as much time as possible with my new girlfriend, and most night that we spend together we don't really get sufficient sleep. Also, even when we aim to get proper sleep together, sleeping together in my small bed is just not as relaxing as sleeping alone. This is something that is definitley a nuisance, but I do put the priority of spending time with her above my personal fitness right now. However, this means that when I train I am often sleep deprived (or getting too little sleep for proper recovery afterwards) and therefore training has often become much more of a pain than it has been before. Additionally, I do usually train outside - I am a student with little space at home - and it is fucking cold where I am right now. This means that when I have to train I am sleep deprived and usually also freezing. This is not fun. Last winter, I just went to the local gym and used the pull up bar / dip bar there - It was just much more pleasant than wearing 20 layers of clothing and still freezing as it is super windy here. Third, I moved to a new city and I have not really found someone to train with there. In my old town, almost all of my friends were really fit (usually into both BWF and climbing) and we loved hanging out, playing video games and then going to the gym later that night. Or so. Here, I have barely made any new friends (It is covid season after all) and the friends I met are usually out of shape and not motivated. So I do not just have to motivate myself, but also to motivate them. This is really annoying. So I do usually just train by myself. This is no problem for me , however it is just soo much less fun alone. Fourth, I am getting horrible muscle ache after training most of the time. Due to all of these above mentioned factors I am usually only training like once a week (mainly to slow down the muscle breakdown...) and then suffering from 2-3 days of horrible muscle ache and feeling unwell overall. I assume that this is mainly due to the fact that I train not often enough to get my body used to the load, and that training in the cold makes my muscles more sore. Idk, overall I am just not happy with how my body looks now, compared to how it looked like before covid and during the summer. Having a girlfriend helps with my confidence, however I do just really miss feeling fit and agile - while being in great shape, I completeley forgot that things like back pain exist and am now painfully reminded how life feels like if you are not well trained. Any Ideas, suggestions etc? Currently, I am just waiting until I get adjusted to sleeping in the same bed with my girlfriend (so getting proper 7h+ of sleep) and until it gets warmer and training outside becomes less of a pain.
