| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 08:00 AM PST Hello, I'm new to working out and I've been following the RR for 2 weeks. (been using dumbbells instead of pullups) and I'm no longer sore the day after workout. Is this normal? or am I doing anything wrong? [link] [comments] |
| Minimalist Hypertrophy Routine Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:23 AM PST Some time ago this post/routine was posted https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/dkxf7r/minimalist_hypertrophy_routine/ Did anyone do it? I was going trough my saved posts and found it. [link] [comments] |
| Advice to progress safely to rings planche Posted: 06 Mar 2021 06:21 AM PST So, basically as the title says i want to progress to full rings planche without any injuries. I am not rushing into it and want a safe and happy journey. I know that to do planche on rings, u first need a solid planche on floor but im curious if it is possible to progress on floor as well as on rings. Also i am just focusing on supinated version as it really helps to transfer on rings but as i have read so many posts that it puts so much stress on distal bicep tendon and people getting tears, should i be worried if i go very slow, i dont want to rush and giving much time for tendons to recover I have started rto holds 6 months ago and sup. planche leans 3 months ago and have read some research papers on tendon adaptations. Based on that i have thought of giving 4 months on every progressions and then only moving to next one no matter how easy it gets. So, will it help me in my injury free journey? I am currently doing 4 sets 45 - 60 sec RTO, but during last set it drops to 30 sec 4 sets of supinated planche leans ~ 20 sec (last set getting only ~10sec) [link] [comments] |
| How do you know if you've got proper form Posted: 06 Mar 2021 07:08 AM PST I'm someone who has limited experience with fitness. Never really been to a gym, so I've been using YouTube videos to get an idea of how I should be moving. How can I tell if I'm following along well and exercising with good form? I know some of the big warning signs to look out for, like watching out for excessive tightness in a muscle and stopping at the first sign of pain or discomfort, but beyond that I'm a bit lost. Any advice would be very appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Balancing Intensity and injury Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:55 AM PST How do you balance working hard but not hard to the point you're injuring yourself? I always found myself working hard but oftentimes to where I injury myself. Thankfully I haven't injured myself in many months but I am curious to know if you have any tips or tricks to balance the two? There's gotta be a solid middle ground that I am likely missing that meets both intensity and injury prevention. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 09:33 AM PST Hey y'all. Been following a while. I've got some questions for the group. I'm a big guy. 6'1" currently over 300 lbs. I've never had a work out......thing. In a past life I commuted by bicycle, didn't even own a car, and this made my body a furnace and I could eat whatever I wanted. I had a warehouse job that was pretty physical too. But I've never been in shape. Always been a big guy. Have always felt fat. Now I'm at a desk, with a 2 hour daily drive and just completely lost and feel....not hopeless, just, damn the road ahead is gonna suck. Medically I'm ok, just fat and out of shape. Blood work is all good. Resting heart rate is where it should be for my age. I'm 37. Questions. What made you crack, enough of this, and get going? How did you decide your goals? Are you training for a race/event? Did you have a medical close call? Big people, sit ups, how do you keep your feet down? What arm stuff did you do to get to pull-ups? How long did it take to get to 1 pull-up? 10? [link] [comments] |
| At Home Workouts for Lean Gains? Posted: 06 Mar 2021 06:44 AM PST Hello all! I am new here, so let me quickly introduce you to my story first. So a few weeks back I started up school again. Because of school and covid, I've had a terrible time of being able to get to the gym, and because of that, I'm starting to fall back into bad old habits again (snacking too much, skipping days, etc). So, my question is, does anyone know of any at home workout plans that feature no weights (so body weight only)? I only have one set of dumbbells at home, so if anyone can find one that only uses dumbbells that'd work fine too. I have done some research myself and found some on YouTube, but I can't tell if they're just for clicks or will actually help me. I figured I'd ask you guys here since you most likely have more knowledge than me! Thanks so much! [link] [comments] |
| 4 and a half Months progress report RR Posted: 06 Mar 2021 11:30 AM PST Hi guys! First of all, this will be a long post haha. Wanted to do this report after 4 and a half months of following the Recommended Routine (https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine). Overall I'm so happy with this routine, its the first routine that broke my procrastination towards getting in shape. So I suggest you guys to follow it too. Well here's the exercise's progress: First Pair Pull-ups: Started doing only 1 pull-up (poorly made), so I did negatives during the first weeks Now I do 3x8 Normal pull-ups, planning on doing 3x10 or weighted since my max is 12. Squats: Started doing 3x8 normal squats, now I do 3x8 shrimp squads. Planning on doing them weighted. Second Pair Dips: started doing 30 seconds Parallel Bar Support Hold because I couldn't even do negatives. Now I do 3x10 with a weight of 10kg. (My chest grew A LOT) Started with 3x8 hip bridges, now I do 3x12 hip thrust with 10kg (planning on searching a new harder exercise tbh for the hip). Third Pair Rows: started doing 3x5 knee horitzontal rows, now I do 3x8 tucked rows (I really like tucked rows, they are hard af) Push-ups: started doing 3x6 normal push ups, now I do 3x10 Pseudo Planche Push Ups. Core Triplet Started doing knee raises, side planks and reverse Hyper Extension Now I've just follow an abs circuit to make it harder and do a little bit of cardio while doing it. Changes in body I'm 178cm /5,83ft I started with 70kg. Now I weight 69kg (nice). Although I'm bulking I lost one kilo, but I see myself much bigger, so that's probably 1kg of fat. I always tend to think "what if I followed another routine without the full-body thing...?" But idk man, this thing is working so good so I'm not going to change my routine soon. Thank you guys.

| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 11:01 AM PST As the title reads, I get a tingling sensation in my tricep when doing a dead hang, it starts after hanging for a couple of seconds and gets much worse. Should I just pull through or is something up? [link] [comments] |
| Found this kid on YT hope he gives you some inspiration Posted: 05 Mar 2021 06:54 PM PST Disclaimer: I'm aware that he made some mistakes and compensated his form early on and he knows that too. Heck, what he's achieved is incredible. I've made many worse mistakes during my time at the gym. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 03:41 AM PST Hello. I am new to Pullups and want to achieve a minimum of 10 pullups under 6 months. Is it possible? I cannot do one pull up properly so what should I start with? Please help me. [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone have any reliable/trustworthy content creators for weight loss exercises? Posted: 06 Mar 2021 02:10 AM PST Trying to get back to workout and i I used to watch Chris Heria but I heard around Reddit and other areas that his not a good person to follow. I'm looking for like 30 min to 1-hour workout videos with no equipment (since covid) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:02 AM PST So right now I can do about 30 push ups but I still can't do a diamond push up, will close grip push ups work my triceps so I can eventually do a diamond push up? I think my triceps are very weak because I need to go on my knees just to do multiple close grip push ups [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 03:20 AM PST Are there exercises that help with the core aspect of planche? Other than the planche progressions such as tuck planche etc, what core exercises help with being able to keep your body and legs straight? My straight arm strength is enough to carry my body, but I'm just struggling with core Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 10:20 AM PST I struggle to feel my lats, engage my back and I sometimes feel like it's my arms which does all the work... How is my form and if it's bad how can I improve it ? [link] [comments] |
| How to get in better shape at 40 Posted: 05 Mar 2021 05:14 PM PST Hey everyone, first post here. In less than 2 months I turn 40, and even though I've always thought I have an "ok" body, on the slim side, I've alway wanted to get more in shape. As years have come I've gotten more strict with food and training. I train 3 to 4 times a week, mostly exercises with my own weight, Bulgarian bags and wall climbing. Also, I've been watching what I eat a lot. I barely eat any carbs by now, usually 1/4 of the plate is either rice or pasta and the rest is usually runs or chicken and vegetables, for dinner, and I don't eat more carbs at all after that.(for the afternoon I eat cheese, ham, olives and nuts, and in the night an omelette with salad.) Still, I feel like I'm having trouble getting the body I want. I know I have some body issues and probably see myself worse than what I am, but still I feel like I could do better. I'm around 15 to 16% of body fat usually and doesn't change much. I'm 1.65m tall and I weight around 60kg ( sorry Americans , I suck at turning that into inches and pounds. Heres a random pic I took today for reference Like I said I don't think it's bad, but I've always thought that with the level of care I out into what I eat and the training I do, I should be doing better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:26 AM PST Hello guys can someone suggest me a effective front lever routine? Ive been training since 1.5years got 20 secs on one leg fl and can hold full front for 1 sec but i just want to improve to get leaner form and more secs [link] [comments] |
| Bent arm and straight arm strength carry over Posted: 06 Mar 2021 03:21 AM PST Do bent arm strength exercises help with achieving straight arm exercises? For example will doing handstand push ups and weighted dips/pull ups help with planche and front lever etc? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 11:29 AM PST Im approx like 23 percent body fat. (Edit: For my pull up routine, forgot to mention which exercise) - I'm doing 10 sets two times per week. which comes out to exactly 20 sets per week for volume. I go to failure every set and 2 slow negatives right after every set. curretnly im using a 40 lbs weight vest. I can do 2 perfect reps in my first set. i rest 4-5 minutes after every set. When i start not being able to do any more reps for my sets in the work out, I do 2 slow negatives instead for every set and every set I have left until I finish with 10 sets. Is this a good program for consistent growth? Or is volume too high/I don't need that much volume for growth, and I'm better off with something with less volume, like 12 sets per week is better or is my 20 sets for volume better given this routine? Also I have gotten tennis elbow earlier few years ago because I didn't know that too much volume can eff up your elbows. So I want to avoid the very high volume programs/routines. My goal is to hit 50 pound weight for 2 reps, and then train and stay with 50 pounds, where my next goal will be to get as many reps as i can with training 50 lbs. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:24 AM PST Hey guys I'm nearing the end of fitnessfaq's bodybuilding calisthenics program (which I recommend, very well structured). I'm wondering, for those that completed it, what did you do after? Is there another program on the market that is:

| Tips to perform Pull Ups by hanging on top of warddrobe Posted: 06 Mar 2021 05:09 AM PST So i know i can get pull up bar but my land lord won't allow me to mount anything and i don't have park close to my area. Anything which will help me to perform pull ups on warddrobe will be highly appreciated.. PS: I ain't in condition to buy something [link] [comments] |
| What to do if you’ve had too many calories for the day? Posted: 06 Mar 2021 01:23 AM PST Ok, I usually keep a super strict diet, counting macros and what not. But what do I do if I've had a few too many calories? I know one meal won't really mess up my physique, but what do I do with all this extra energy, should I do some more exercise? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Mar 2021 06:29 PM PST I would like to know what is your experience, and as a side note, does anybody know if (since i live in an apartment) that pull up bars for door frames are worth the buy? [link] [comments] |
| Is one supposed to feel strain in the inner thigh muscle (adductor?) while doing step-ups? Posted: 06 Mar 2021 12:52 AM PST This is what I'm doing (at least trying to) : https://imgur.com/Ga6RHLE.gifv Of course, I'm unable to go as low as him as of now, but I too don't take support from my hanging leg at all. I do it from enough height that there's nothing to take support from. Every time I do this exercise, my inner thigh muscles seem strained. (I think they're called adductor muscles. It's sorta a long bone like thing connecting thighs to groin). It's not painful at all, but it definitely gets more strained than I'm normally used to. My question is should this muscle be getting worked up in a step-up or could this be a result of bad posture/technique? [link] [comments] |
