| First ever ring muscle up YEEEEEES Posted: 05 Mar 2021 08:31 AM PST Form looks sloppy I know, I will work on it, 50 muscle ups a day, no need to comment [link] [comments] |
| Why has my pushing strength increased constantly while my pulling strength barely at all? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 06:10 PM PST 16 M 100KG 5 9/10. About 9 months ago I started calisthenics, although I started taking it More seriously about 6 months ago. I started with a bit over 80Kg in Weight and same height. I could do a few push ups at most. 3 months after I got to a decent level, I was 93KG and I could do 25 push ups (clean, I could easily do 50 if I did it the way people do it in challenges but I don't see a point) and 15 diamond push ups. 3 months later I'm 96KG, my max push ups is 27 and 24 diamond push ups 12 dips. I started trying to do pull ups but I can't. Now I'm 100KG, I can do 9 one arm push ups on my left arm and 8 on my right, about 25+ dips, 30+ diamond push ups, normal push ups are still less than 30?? And with 30KG on my back (a bag with weights) 17 push ups is my max. I still can't do a pull up. I've tried rows, I've tried negatives. Maybe I'm not doing it frequently enough or maybe I'm genetically predisposed with better pushing strength? Or I'm doing something wrong. I'm very happy with my pushing strength progress, The progress felt pretty huge, but my pull ups are still lacking. Obviously I am not lean weighting 100KG, a bit chubby but I wouldn't say I'm overly fat. If I could get lean enough and drop to 90KG, would that help my pull ups? Should I also try and do negatives and rows more often? [link] [comments] |
| Should I Eat More? What Should My Next Steps be to Reach My Goal? Posted: 05 Mar 2021 07:49 AM PST Last summer I (21 YO 5'10'' Male) decided to completely change my physique. For my diet, I started calorie counting so I bought healthier meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The goal was to eat less than 1800 calories a day initially. For exercising, I took up jump roping every day. I burned fat away quickly. Within a couple of months, I dropped almost 20 pounds. I was around 185 lbs last June and by august, I was around 165 lbs. School started back up and campus gyms opened up. I decided to start hitting the gym for muscle gains, on top of continuing my 30 min jump rope routine every day. I Started that in November (Stopped for winter break), Now It's march. I've gotten and look stronger, and am going to the gym 5 days a week. I'm now down to near 150 pounds. But for the past month or so I've been on and off with the jump roping due to school and its busyness, and the past two weeks I haven't done it at all due to me hurting my inner knee cap, it hurts whenever I try to jump. I've stopped calorie counting (kinda), however, I'm still eating less than 2000 calories a day, but mainly due to that initial round of cutting becoming my routine (and less money I have to spend). I don't really care to lose more weight and want to focus on getting a little bigger for a more tone looked, enough to fill out a small shirt I guess?. Should I all together quit jump roping? should I eat more? What would you guys suggest my next steps are? Also, I am using a 2-pound weighted rope, figured it would help with the more toned look.

| I want to learn to do full body ab rolls at home Posted: 05 Mar 2021 11:33 AM PST At the moment I do 50 ab rolls (knees), 50 push ups and some leg exercises every day. I want to step up my game as I feel the ab rolls are not really effective anymore, without adding quantity (improve the quality instead of the quantity) I want to switch to full body ab rolls but as soon as I get half way I just collapse. How can I gradually train my body so I can fully stretch out? Thanks for any help, I really appreciatie it! [link] [comments] |
| Does running, rock climbing, and jiujitsu count as bodyweight/calisthenics? Posted: 05 Mar 2021 08:52 AM PST Basically what the title says, I'm wondering and curious if running, rock climbing, jiujitsu counts as bodyweight and calisthenics workouts [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2021 10:25 AM PST I've been doing the normal progressions (scapular pulls and negative pull ups) and now I can do one set of 5 and two sets of four chin ups. Should I continue on the negative pull ups until I can do a few pull ups or continue training chin ups and then move to pull ups? [link] [comments] |
| How can a do about 30 pull ups in a row? Posted: 05 Mar 2021 12:36 PM PST Are there any routine that can help me achieve many pull ups in a single row? I can do weighted pull ups so is not a strength problem but when I try to do many reps I fail, today for example I did about 10 reps then 8 then I fell all the way to 4, I have access to a weight bell if it's matter [link] [comments] |
| are there benefits of bodyweight exercises agaisnt weights? Posted: 05 Mar 2021 10:20 AM PST so ive been doing both a lot but push ups and pull ups are my absolute favorite. i dont have to switch weights and heard theyre good for joints! only thing i focus on weights is my lower body. squats are nice and effective but feels better to do less reps and heavier weight.

| Having to wear a splint on the left wrist for two weeks. What to do „in the meantime“? Posted: 05 Mar 2021 08:32 AM PST Hey everyone! I (m, 227lbs/103kg, 6.1"/186cm) have started with some bwf and a daily yoga regiment in the morning around three weeks ago, was quite motivated and got some results considering my ability to actually do some proper form Push-ups etc. Was in very very bad shape before and could not even do one. Three days ago my left wrist started hurting really bad, noticed it first when I got out of bed and tried to push myself up with my left arm and dropped like a wet bag back into the sheets because the pain just made my arm give in. Just came back from the doc with a splint and the diagnosis of a tendinitis. So now push-ups are a no go, downward dog and everything is impossible and I cannot use my hand properly at all. :( I am not enjoying jogging at all but I will pick up walking. Does anyone have some nice recommendations on Trainings or exercises which do not need the arms? Beside just doing endless crunches and squats for two weeks? TLDR: Can't use my left arm due to injury, looking for help and exercises how to maintain some regular training. Hope y'all having a great day and a nice weekend! Stay safe and healthy:) (Sorry for probably bad grammar and punctuation, English is not my native language :3) //Al [link] [comments] |
| V sit with palms facing backwards Posted: 05 Mar 2021 10:19 AM PST I'd like to progress towards v sit with my palms facing backwarde since I believe this kind of hands placement is required to learn manna later on. The problem is whenever I even try to hold L sit with my palms facing backwards I immediatelly feel pain in my elbow which makes me unable to even do L sit this way. I've searched the web for such an issue but havent really found anything that would help. [link] [comments] |
| What is the general consensus on "locking out" when doing reps? Good or bad? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 05:13 PM PST Just want to see what people's thoughts are. Just saw a video of those military pull-up challenges. Guy did 33 straight, but the comments bashed him for not fully extending into a dead hang. Most of the replies to those comments were "locking out can cause injury in the joints, because you're putting weight on them." I have golfer's elbow, but only because I did too many reps without building up to higher numbers. Thoughts? I have been told that partial reps have their benefits too. [link] [comments] |
| why do negatives help increase pull up reps? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 01:40 PM PST Like the title says, why do negatives help people increase their pull up reps? Also how many negatives should I do should I just do max amount of negatives in a set and then do that every couple of hours? Or is there a better way of combining negatives and pull ups to increase my max? [link] [comments] |
| Using cluster sets to add volume without adding time to workout Posted: 04 Mar 2021 09:48 PM PST Hello my friends, So I stumbled across this thread from a year ago about using cluster sets to get more volume but without having to actually workout any longer. The idea being that if you are doing a set of 5 reps, while you are recovering it's very easy to do another 2 reps (after say 30 seconds), then it's very easy to do 3 reps (after another 30 seconds) and then you can do your 5 reps as normal. So you're effectively doubling the volume without needing to increase recovery. Now this is very appealing to me especially for legs, as the RR strikes me as having a very very low amount of volume (for legs), given you've basically got one quad and one hamstring exercise, while having two back and two chest exercises. I thought this might be a really good way of getting extra volume in for legs (specifically quads as I have a bad case of chicken legs) without having to add in extra exercises or do a different split. The top comment basically said it works a treat, with everyone else said they would look at incorporating it. However in doing more of a search I haven't really managed to find anything else of people using clusters, especially with bodyweight training. I found some powerlifting type threads about it but that training is a lot different obviously. Has anyone used this technique with success? Did it work for strength and/or hypertrophy? How did you work it in? ie. is it just a part of your normal workout or do you cycle it for a 6 weeks block/to get through a plateau Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Skinny fat 16 year old needs helps and advice Posted: 05 Mar 2021 09:54 AM PST Hi guys I'm 16 years old 5'9 123lbs (56kg) so as you can see I'm quite skinny according to bmi not underweight but skinny. My arms and legs are both skinny and I have a skinny looking face. For some reason my chest and stomach are puffed out before I eat it's just slightly out not really that bad just look like a bit of a small belly fat but after I eat my chest puffs out really hard and my stomach does aswell. I've been working on my arms with dumbbells for 2 months and recently started to see gains but I need a attack plan for my stomach I think it's a mixture of weak abs and bloating. Any advice guys it would help a lot please be honest I'm not looking for sympathy I just want to improve and beat this skinny fat body. Pictures: [link] [comments] |
| periodization vs changing intensities daily Posted: 05 Mar 2021 07:41 AM PST hello, i have always been more of a runner that does bodyweight to stay generally fit, but last year, i decided i really wanted to focus and improve hypertrophy/strength. while doing research on whether to do high reps w low added weight vs low reps w high added weight, i decided it was good to do a mix to get the benefits of strength and endurance. so i took my three workouts/wk and split them into: moderate: 5x12, adding weight so that my 12th rep of my 5th set brings me to failure intense: 5x8, adding weight as above endurance: 8x10-16 (depending on exercise), adding reps until i get to 8x16-25 (then what? add weight i guess?) i then learned about periodization. is periodization a better way for me to train? doing each level of intensity for a longer period of time consistently before moving to the next? or is my mix-it-up approach valid as well? ***see point below for more relevant info some info: the routine i do is from the recommended routine that was a up a few years ago, using rings. warmup, and then: dips, pullups (alternating sets); l-sits, pistol squat progression (alternating sets); push ups, horizontal rows (alternating sets) i generally prefer running, but have been focusing on strength/hypertrophy the last ~7 months. my plan is to do a yearly cycle where i rotate through my 3 workouts/week being: 3 strength; 2 strength, 1 run; 3 run; 2 run, 1 strength; repeat (3 month cycles). ***note that this means if i do a periodization routine (the one i saw was 17 weeks), then just one macrocycle would be ~4months=2/3 of my 3 strength & 2strength+1run cycles combined, so at most i would be able to do a 13 week macrocycle twice and then i would be shifting to a more running-focused routine i don't necessarily have more time, but when i do i can throw in more workouts/week, but the 3/wk is my target minimum. i generally do 1-2 15min ab workouts/week in addition to my minimum 3 workouts. so at any point in the year, if i had loads of free time, a "perfect week" would be 2-3 run, 2-3 strength training, 2 core (1 workout every day). the nature of the workouts depends on what cycle i'm in, e.g. when i'm in strength mode: progressive overload strength training and casual runs to maintain cardio, in running mode: pace-training runs and maintenance workouts to keep form/avoid atrophy my weight gain has been at a plateau for ~3 months after i gained 15 pounds in ~4 months, though i have been adding reps/weight every single workout. this was part of my motivation to do more research and tweak my routine, but i have been doing progressive overload the whole 7 months, though with the same six basic movements i mentioned, so maybe i need to change up what exercises i'm doing. i'm thinking of switching to bulgarian dips and bulgarian push ups because my pecs are not that big (they're muscly and you can start to see striations when i flex, but they're kind of 'flat,' not getting pumped) [link] [comments] |
| Callisthenic Exercises that target the brachialis and the short head bicep? Posted: 04 Mar 2021 08:43 PM PST I'm trying to work on the width of my arms, and I have access to dumbbells and other equipment but I want something to do when I'm not near them or have the time to do weight training. Is there any pushup variation or other exercise that I can do? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Mixing Phase 1/2 Move with Weightlifting PPL Posted: 04 Mar 2021 06:02 PM PST Forgive me as I know similar questions have been asked. After 3 years of lifting, I'm looking for something new than just "me lift heavy thing". I have a ton of respect for BW fitness and have dabbled before, but have always hesitated to jump in because weights seemed to be the faster path to size gains. That said, "Move" looks like an excellent program that I'd love to get into, and see an opportunity to wade into the first two phases of it while maintaining 3 days of lifting to keep my hypertrophy goals going. However I'm totally inexperienced with what sort of rest/recovery is necessary between the two, as it's effectively mixing whole body skills work with a split lifting routine. I don't know if I can just jam them together, or if I need to modify my lifting days to be less targeted. I imagine some of the below options might work, but would love some feedback to help me get into this more confidently
Apologies once again for ad nausea advice-seeking. I sincerely appreciate all feedback. [link] [comments] |
