| Overall volume vs higher reps per set Posted: 09 Mar 2021 06:18 AM PST Hey, in your personal experience, what have you found works better increasing strength and size from pull-ups? Higher overall volume like 6x6 = 36 reps or aiming for higher reps per set but not being able to reach the same volume like 2x8,1x7,1x5 = 28 reps Thanks, [link] [comments] |
| Question about 'normal' scapula motion Posted: 09 Mar 2021 03:24 AM PST I just got back from seeing a physio about some shoulder / back issues I'm having and am confused by 2 of the exercises they gave me and was hoping someone could clarify something for me. The exercises involve holding a very low weight and raising the arm to 90 ° - forwards and laterally - and lowering while feeling your scapula with the opposite hand. The idea is that your scapula shouldn't protrude as you lower your arm in the frontal plane, and shouldn't move away from your finger when you raise your arm laterally; if any of these issues occur I was told to hold the weight in that position to strengthen the weak muscles that aren't holding my scapular in alignment. Is this really true? Seems odd to me that the scapula are not meant to go through these motions when raising / lowering your arm. Thanks, any help appreciated Edit: Thanks so much for all the feedback you've really helped clear this up for me! [link] [comments] |
| Hey im an ignorant teen who needs fitness advice (15M) 6ft 179lbs Posted: 09 Mar 2021 08:42 AM PST Yo, i'm im a teen who's always had trouble with being a but chubby, but its gotten on my nerves as I have gotten more insecure, and I want to make a change. I have heard that body weight exercises are the best for people with my build (broad shoulders and big hip bones, and a barrel chest) and I have seen them work wonders in months. I appreciate any advice and thank you, God bless!! [link] [comments] |
| How do you train calisthenics skills (lever, handstand, planche) Posted: 09 Mar 2021 09:12 AM PST Should I work on mastering one skill at a time before moving on to the next? For example, if I want to learn handstands first, how often should I train handstand a week. Right now I do back and biceps (pullups) on monday, chest and triceps tuesday, squats wednesday, push and pull thursday, and handstand/shoulders friday. And once you master one skill and train the next, do you start implementing the old skill in your workouts now? [link] [comments] |
| Heastand, can’t seem to balance with hips&legs up Posted: 09 Mar 2021 09:17 AM PST Can someone explain how you are supposed to lift your legs up? My butt keeps pushing back and I don't know when to "push" it back in when it does. [link] [comments] |
| How to increase my push-ups per minute Posted: 09 Mar 2021 06:02 AM PST I've submitted paperwork to an Air Force officer, paperwork that will be looked at at the end of this June. My goal is to be able to do 30 push-ups per minute. Right now I'm at 14. My current exercise is my best per minute, then 2 reps of pyramid push-ups (5 at the most). This, 3 times a week with resting every other day. What would you recommend I do to achieve this goal? [link] [comments] |
| Knee joints hurt when sitting on knees (wariza) Posted: 09 Mar 2021 03:43 AM PST Hello, I have difficulties sitting in wariza and the more I try to go down the more my knee joints hurt, i cant spread my legs that much to the sides while sitting neither because of my knee joints (between my legs and me in the wariza sitting posture there is around a finger distance). I can sit in Seiza too but even there i have difficulties since my knee joints hurt there too (but only after 10 minutes). Is there a good way for me to strengthen my knee joints so that they wont hurt? Or are my thighs too big? And yes I really really really want to be able to sit in the wariza sitting posture without my knee joints hurting. I would be very happy if anyone of you could help me since the only stuff I could find on websites on the internet is about parents being concerned about "w sitting" or the yoga hero pose.

| Is this the best way to train skills? Posted: 09 Mar 2021 06:35 AM PST So I am just starting to try and get a full front lever and I am at a tuck FL and can hold it for about 10 seconds. I saw this video by Fitness Faq and was wondering if this is the best way to train skills. Specifically the sets and reps at the chart at 1:00. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Is there a intermediate routine for hypertrophy in calisthenics? Posted: 09 Mar 2021 07:49 AM PST I have tried to find it on YouTube and on reddit but mostly I find beginner routines of calisthenics and no intermediate or advanced calisthenics routines to follow for hypertrophy. I have been hard stuck for months and really haven't gotten any muscle gain. I don't really understand what I am doing wrong so I am trying to change my routine. My previous routine was:- PUSH DAY:- Weighted Ring Dips 8-10 reps for 4 sets Wal HSPU 10-12 reps Lateral raises 12-15 reps Y pulls on rings 15-20+ reps Do this 3 times Assisted Impossible dips 5-8 reps Triceps extensions on rings 10-12 reps Triceps push downs on rings 14-16 reps Do this three times Decline pushups 15-20 reps 2-3 sets PULL DAY:- Archer pull ups 8-10 reps for 4-5 sets Rows( i forgot the name but the tucked FL type ones) 5-8 reps for 4 sets Ring bicep curls 10-15 reps Chin ups 5-8 reps Do this three times Lower back raises 10-15 reps 4 sets [link] [comments] |
| FROG STAND HELP (Handstand and planche prerequisite) Posted: 09 Mar 2021 09:46 AM PST TL;DR - knees on elbows/tricep or elnows on lower inner thigh by knees... Ive recently been trying the frog stand because ive heard its good for planche and handstand pushups. Anyway, thr technique is a little confusing. Is it proper to have your knees on your lower tricep just above the elbow (like i see in a lot of videos) or is it better to have your elbows tucked in to your inner thigh/inner knee area. I feel the first option is much easier and it recruits far less muscle (presumably because the hips aren't active if your weight is supported by your elbows and stacked wrists... Any input would be appreciated, i really want to get the best form possible for when i start the more difficult moves. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Stuck at 5 reps of back to wall hspu for 4 -5 ish months Posted: 09 Mar 2021 09:22 AM PST I've learned skills like strict mu , slow mu , impossible mu on rings , bent arm fl, but my pushing sucks I can do a free standing hs but my hspu back to wall has been more or less the same for 4 or 5 months ? Is this normal or am I training it wrong ? I do 5 x4 of hspu for push days [link] [comments] |
| 6 feet, 127 pound determine 19 year old looking for advice on bulking Posted: 09 Mar 2021 12:43 PM PST I am a college student living in dorms, and as the title suggests I'm very skinny. These past few months I've been extremely determined to make gains. I've even actually gained about 5 pounds since I began in the fall, and I feel much stronger but not necessarily much heavier. I was wondering what advice this subreddit might have for: 1) Actual workouts (what specific exercises, how many reps and sets i should be going for and how to properly add more resistance) 2) how to get enough calories, especially as I am a student in dorms without easy access to a stove or free time 3) any other tips! I am still much on the skinnier side, but im happy with the progress I have made so far. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Vastus medius will not activate. Posted: 09 Mar 2021 12:39 PM PST My inner quad muscle has no activation. Any tips? It's been slowly causing knee pain and knee clicking when I do bodyweight squats. I also have zero glute activation. I noticed that my inner hamstrings, tensor fascia latte and psoas stabilize my pelvis when stand rather than glutes and quads. Sooo any routines to correct this mess would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Mar 2021 08:12 AM PST I am a beginner and i created a schedule in which i workout 4 days a week, i go trough pulling, pushing, core and leg exercises in one session, cause i read it's the best for beginners, although i talked with a friend which is an intermidiate, but when he started had some solid gains by focusing on a single muscle group for workout. What do you say? [link] [comments] |
| Are close grip front lever raises easier than shoulder width or wider? Posted: 09 Mar 2021 11:37 AM PST It feels easier. I also wonder how I can get stronger in the front lever. Would training with progressively wider hand stance help? [link] [comments] |
| 5 push-ups every 15 seconds good? Posted: 09 Mar 2021 08:38 AM PST I do 200 push-ups a day by doing 5 pushups every 15 seconds. I find it easy but worry that it might not be beneficial. What are your thoughts and any tips? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Mar 2021 01:17 PM PST I've been doing the eccentric portion for a couple weeks and decided to give the full movement a shot. To my surprise I was able to get my feet almost all the way to the bench. https://imgur.com/gallery/iKcYlBk What do you all think about my form? Specifically my back bend. Should I be keeping it straighter as I ascend to the starting position? [link] [comments] |
| Need some help with my routine Posted: 09 Mar 2021 01:08 PM PST I'm trying to come up with the ideal progression routine for working out at home, but I'm not sure where my actual level should be. At the moment, I'm working out M/W/F while walking on the off days. I'm looking to go the convict conditioning route, but each time I attempt an exercise, my third set ends up be trash. Should I add more rest time between sets, or lower the exercise level to get a cleaner workout? Current routine (3 sets each) Incline Push-ups Jack knife squats Jack knife pull ups Short bridges I'm able to keep my bridges and push-up clean for 20 reps each set and will keep adding one or two reps each day before I move on to the next level. I have terrible knees and all squating hurts after 10 reps. I was trying to do horizontal pull ups, but I haven't found a good setup to do at home. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Mar 2021 01:08 PM PST I've been doing pull ups for over a year and have had no problems. I'm even used to doing weighted pull ups, but now all of a sudden any time I do more than 5 pull ups, I get a workout ending headache. I can't figure out what could be wrong with my form, and my breathing seems fine. Am I injured? Im not in pain anywhere else. Any ideas of what is going on? [link] [comments] |
| I don’t feel exercises in my glutes Posted: 09 Mar 2021 01:07 PM PST Except sumo squats. Side leg lifts, too, but I only feel it at the top of my glutes. I would like to know how to activate my glutes and exercise that might help. I do tighten my glutes, but it still doesn't work. My bum never feels sore. I am a beginner. [link] [comments] |
| After mucle up what come next? Posted: 09 Mar 2021 12:50 PM PST After a lot of time I succeed 2 mucle up. I know it is not a lot 2 mucle up , but I want to start thinking what is the next exercise should I start to train for? [link] [comments] |
| I don't feel like gaining muscle from bwf Posted: 09 Mar 2021 12:49 PM PST Ok, so I'll try to keep it short. I tried to do varying difficulties of pushups, some of them are about my level - they are kinda hard but I can do 2 * 25 or 3 * 15, some are harder which I can barely do said number of reps. So, I tried pushing myself to the limits, and some other stuff, but the next day, not like after the gym, I feel nothing. Am I doing anything wrong? [link] [comments] |
| One arm pull up negatives; total volume Posted: 09 Mar 2021 12:08 PM PST I've finally reached the point where I can do a slow controlled one arm negative pull up (10 sec left, 8 right) lately I've been doing this three times each side after a session on my climbing board. My question is how much total time under tension do those of you doing similar do? [link] [comments] |
