progress has stalled for me as a beginner: 50x recommended routine in 3 months Posted: 27 Mar 2021 01:44 AM PDT Introduction Hi! Let me start by saying how much I appreciate this community. The non-dogmatic approach to working out really helped me to stick to a fitness/strength routine for the first time. I'm feeling much better all around. You people are truly awesome. Whats working? As the title says I did the recommended routine about 50 times. I see good progress in dips, push-ups and rows. I feel like I notice improvements in forms weekly. I'm at 3x60 support holds, 3x6 push-ups and 3x6 incline rows. As I felt the progress stalled a bit I did a deload week into 4 sets of rows and push-ups hoping that I can increase the reps. Would love to hear what you think about this. No progress Now for the other exercises: I'm still at the romanian deadlift. I do 3x12 but I don't feel like I can do them single legged yet. The currents weightless deadlifts still feel like they work the muscles hard but I also feel like I could do much more. Dont know what to make of it. By far the hardest exercise for me is the squat. Without support I can't squat at all mobilitywise. I just fall over. I'm working on it by stretching for 15 minutes after my workout. I do (or at least I try to) do the Bulgarian Split Squad, it doesnt feel good though. I know it is hard to do form check without a video or at least a picture but I can't hold the balance and I feel like I lean forward too much + the exercise feels really bad on the leg I use to stablize. Does somebody have any ideas? Could it be a mobility issue, is there another exercise I can try? I'm 1,90 m with 95kg , so I can do exactly 0 pull-ups so I do 3x6 scapular pulls but again since a few weeks I dont see any progress. I probably should try negatives? Conclusion I dropped the core exercises since I have 2 kids to take care of and time is precious. I problably just need somebody to tell me "trust the process and keep working hard" but maybe somebody has further thoughts? submitted by /u/dutchgreen [link] [comments]

Please Suggest A Workout Split!! Posted: 26 Mar 2021 09:28 PM PDT Age: 18 Gender: Male Weight: 170 Height: 5'7 Goals: Lose Fat and Gain Muscle; Lose 10 lbs The gyms around are closed and I have access to: 20 lb dumbbells, 5 lb dumbbells, bench, door way pull up bar, treadmill, and basketball hoop. I play basketball for 1.5 hours, 3 days of the week, and plan to do my leg/cardio workout right after. I would prefer to use the other 4 days to lift weights, using one as a rest day of course. Does anyone have any workout splits to match my schedule? I was originally planning to do: Monday - Basketball/Legs/Cardio Tuesday - Chest and Shoulders Wednesday: Arms and Back Thursday: Basketball/Legs/Cardio Friday: Full Upper Body Saturday: Abs/Basketball Sunday: Rest I have been going to the gym for only 6-7 months before quarantine hit. I cook every meal for my family, so I have the diet under control. I just need to build a solid workout plan that's easy to follow. Thank you!! submitted by /u/uahcnoraa [link] [comments]

Is “The Perfect Beginner Workout” by ATHLEAN-X " legit for a complete beginner? Posted: 26 Mar 2021 01:48 PM PDT Hey guys, I'm M22 new to this sub with 172cm(5'8 feet) and 66kg(145 lbs) with a skinny-fat body type. After successfully losing some fat I've been looking to gain some muscles. So far I've been doing mainly cardio and HIIT (15-30mins) intense exercises targeted for lower body and core without any weights, which toned me up slightly, however, my upper body is super weak. I want to start a proper workout routine to gain muscles but I want to do it properly. I've stumbled across this program by Athlean-X "The PERFECT Beginner Workout" (https://youtu.be/ixkQaZXVQjs) and I'm wondering if you guys think that this is legit routine for a beginner. I currently have access to various resistance bands and dumbbells with 8 lbs each. When it comes to nutrition I'm following a caloric table with around 1700 kcal daily (100gProtein, 200gCarbs, and 50gFat daily) altho I'm never hungry I feel like I will have to eat more kcal daily considering that the program includes workouts 5 days/week. Honestly, any advice is appreciated since I'm starting literally from scratch when it comes to building muscles. If you have some cool beginner tips, advice, or programs you've found success with I would be very happy submitted by /u/unusuall123 [link] [comments]

Need Assistance Building A Well Structured Routine. Posted: 26 Mar 2021 10:48 AM PDT Hey y'all, this is going to be quite the long post so please bear with me here. Lockdown here yadada for the past year or so. I've garnered a huge interest in Calisthenics the past year or so aswell. I've always been half assed with my personal health but I've really decided to up my game now and I can really feel an itch and addiction to bettering myself. Bit of background info: In the past few months or so I've dropped 14kg. I am a 92kg 19M. I am also 6ft3 so I am definitely on the heavier, lankier side of things. I am currently heading to a goal weight of 90kg. Then 85kg then 80kg with a rate of about 0.75kg down a week. I have a on and off weightlifting background for the past 3 years or so. My routine is as followed: 30 minutes of moderate cardio a day (brisk walk) and a 30 minute run OR 30 minutes of jump rope (depending on what I feel like) which simplifies as 1 hour of cardio a day. Yoga 15 - 30 minutes a day every night. Calisthenics 4 x weekly (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun). My Calisthenics routine is as followed: Paired Set 1: +15kg 3x8 - Ring Dips 2 min 30 rest +10kg 3x5 - Door Pull-Ups Paired Set 2: 3x8 - Archer Push-Ups 1 min 30 rest +5kg 3x8 - Inverted Ring Rows Abs - Superset: +10kg 3x8 - Crunches +10kg 3x8 - Russian twists 3x8 - Strict Slow Leg Raises Once I can get my Pull-Ups back to 3x8 with perfect form, I will up the weight by 2.5kg and drop back down to 3x5. Currently I am increasing my dips by 1.25kg per session without fail (same with my Inverted Ring Rows). I've made it a goal to accomplish 6 skills/feats. Those skills/feats being: One-Armed Pushup (both arms) Handstand Floor L-sit Tucked Front Lever Straddle Planche/Elbow Lever Dragon Flag Now I am wondering. How exactly do I go about working up to these?! I am strictly practicing my Archer Push-Ups so that's crossed off the list. The major issue is with the other 5. Being on the heavier, lankier side and still living with my parents and being constrained to my rings and door-pull-up-bar I feel my training options are extremely limited. There's not even a reliable open space for me to practice wallstands without the fear of smashing into something. There is a mini bar park about a 20 minute walk away which I suppose will make up for extra cardio but even then, what do I do when I get there? I'm currently awaiting the arrival of my Kindle and I plan A.S.A.P. to start reading Overcoming Gravity 2 (which I have purchased) which should help me immensely but at this point I am overwhelmed. Should I incorporate a skill day? Should I completely overhaul my routine or just stick with the basics? I can hold movements such as a frogstand with relative ease (knees against and behind elbows for about a minute). I just tried a tucked l-sit right there and I was actually shocked I could get off the ground but good god not even for a full 10 seconds. I tried a front lever with my door-pull-up-bar and it was incredibly difficult (granted I haven't acutely looked at how to do one) but it felt almost impossible. I won't even get started on attempting a straddle planche. I'm not too bad at Dragon Flags (can do a tucked sham) but yet again, there is literally nowhere indoors to do them comfortably. I can't even do knee raises since getting into an active hang is impossible at my length. I'm going to go check out the bar park once it stops raining today so most likely that will open up a lot of options for training but yet again.. I'm just wondering how I should go about this. To make things clear, a handstand and floor l-sit are my two primary goals as of now as I've seen they're considered the benchmark for beginners as myself so perhaps they will be the main focus for now and then I will move onto the next two or whatever. Any advice or forwarding to suggestions and such will be greatly appreciated! My routine is an amalgamation of the RR I forgot to mention. I train legs with two dumbbells I have aswell. Edit: I am aware these movements/skills/feats whatever the correct term is will take time to acquire, months or even years! I am also wondering how I would intermingle weight training in this? I'm debating whether or not to join the gym back and there's really no harm in doing both. submitted by /u/Prosper_T1 [link] [comments]

how to devote time to strength and conditioning and new skills. Posted: 26 Mar 2021 06:06 AM PDT I have made a recent transition to calisthenics and installed rings on my porch. In the last 5 months i have followed a routine of: that i do 1x a week 5 sets of pullups (4-6 rep range), dips (4-6 rep range), ring rows (6-12 rep range) and push ups (6-12 rep range). i will do some weighted pull ups at the end of the week. I am seeing only very gradual progress and so i was considering making it 2x weekly. But i also havnt devoted any real regular time to learning new skills. I am concerned that i am junk training. I want to start incorporating new calisthenic movements in my weekly workouts but fearful of loosing my progress. any advice on to structure my workout would be appreciated. thank you. submitted by /u/nomoneynofish [link] [comments]
