| How to stop arm rubbing when doing ring dips and push ups? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 02:20 AM PDT Hi bwf, As the title states, when doing ring dips or push ups, it seems like the middle of my forearm rubs on the rope, especially when doing the dips. Before getting into ring dips, I practiced my ring support holds (30sec hold or more) for 2 or more weeks but didn't have this problem back then. For extra context, I can do 23 parallel bar dips max, so I think I have enough strength for the rings. What am I doing wrong, and what should I do to fix this? Here's a picture of my arm for reference: https://imgur.com/a/5xEUiGY Thanks again! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Apr 2021 09:04 AM PDT I've been successfully doing shrimp squats for a few months with good results. Very suddenly last week I've started feeling pain in my right knee. I thought it was the running at first, but then I discovered that the pain occurs only while doing shrimp squats, and not at all while walking or running. I will be taking a break from leg exercises for a while, but when I start again I would like to make sure that my knees are safe. Do knees generally disagree with shrimp squats, or is there an optimal form that minimises the stress? How much does the ROM affect the joints? And are there any sensible alternatives to single leg squats for bodyweight training that don't stress the knees as much? How harsh are pistol squats and Bulgarian shrimp squats on the knees?

| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 12:04 PM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/qBm4HBF I've been really struggling to increase my max rings pull-ups so I finally took a video of myself from behind so I could see what I was doing wrong. And boy was it interesting! It looks like I'm relying on my right side to get past the scapular pull. I noticed that the right ring might be a little lower so this could account for it. But I am right-hand dominant so wouldn't surprise me if I'm using that side to pull through the bottom. Overall, though, hows the scapular activation? I also noticed my legs/hips moving forward. Any tips on how to reduce this? Finally it looks like I'm scrunching my neck/shoulders at the top. This seems incorrect. Note this was my last set in 6,9,6,6,10 rep series. I wanted to check my form when I was fatigued as I feel like my form breaks down more at the end. Appreciate any critiques and tips to improve! [link] [comments] |
| Opinions on the decathlon rack900? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 08:18 AM PDT Hello there, Just saw that decathlon seems to have a complete rack https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/weight-training-rack-chin-up-squat-bench-press-back-pull/_/R-p-171335 as well as a half rack https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/weight-training-rack-squats-chin-ups/_/R-p-158534 (they might have had these things for years, I don't remember them though) Does anyone have any experience with either of those to use rings? I'm wondering if the complete rack is worth it in terms of stability. Also as the pull-up bar is pretty far away from the bars on the ground, which means it should also be pretty easy to add some padding in case of a crash. On the other hand, it is pretty low so we're probably not playing upside down too much. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| advice on dorito shape and huge quads Posted: 16 Apr 2021 10:53 PM PDT first time posting! to give a brief overview on my fitness: i am a 5'2-5'3 female, around 120 lbs as of the moment. used to play football 3-4 times a week w gym sessions in between. when the pandemic hit, i opted to lose more weight which i did. now i really have one problem, i have a strong lower body and a weak upper body (due to a tricep injury bc of volleyball). i really want workout preferably 5-6 times a week w/ cardio for endurance and sports. i have also dreamed for a vvvv long time a bulk body w emphasis on the dorito proportion and defined quads. any recommendations for a routine aside from the rr? should i lose more weight b4 bulking? [note: my pushing motion is really weak rn (as i said, bc of injury) hence im progressing my push ups once again] idk if this is enough info, ill be happy to reply if u need more to help me :D edit: im fasting 16:8 btw, i would say im in a 200-100 calorie deficit rn [link] [comments] |
| Tips on how to improve handstand? Posted: 17 Apr 2021 11:49 AM PDT (18M 6'4 85kg) I have been working out properly for around 2 years now and have been practicing calisthenics for just under 6 months so i'm very in shape and strong. I first learnt the muscle up around 4 months ago which I can now do for 5 consistent reps and am progressing my back lever which I learnt to hold with sloppy form around a month ago (still working on it) I decided to progress onto handstand as from what I can gather it is an essential part of calisthenics if you want to progress onto movements that require lots of balance. I started around a month ago and my form has drastically become better since then. Before I was scared to even kip up and now I can hold a handstand off the wall for around 5 to 10 seconds from time to time, however I've recently hit a plateu. I usually can't hold for more than a couple seconds all because I can't seem to find my balance point where I can stabilize comfortably without falling forwards or backwards no matter how hard I try. Is it possible I am doing anything wrong? Is handstanding something you need to consistently practice and gradually get better at, or is there something specific that I need to implement before I can continue to progress? Any advice is appreciated. [link] [comments] |

| Inconsistent work pattern, problem? Posted: 16 Apr 2021 03:08 PM PDT Hi guys. Been following the recommended routine since the start of April after being on a cal deficit diet from January. I'm loving the results I'm feeling and even beginning to see. However I'm going to start experiencing issues regarding consistency... The fault doesn't lie with my motivation to stick to the routine, in fact this is the first exercise plan I've ever been so anal about sticking to and have motivation in abundance - I actively look forward to my workouts. However, I work in health and social care, and so my working weeks are never two of the same, and the shifts can be up to 14 hours long with an hours commute added onto each end, meaning the feasibility of getting a workout on a lot of the days I'm working just isn't there. I can more often than not find three days in the week where I'm not working/ am working a shift that finishes early enough to get a workout in, however they don't often fall conveniently. By that I mean I can't utilise them in a workout day/ rest day/ workout day/ rest day configuration, I might have two days off for example meaning I can get one workout and one rest in, but then be in for 14 hour shifts the following two days. So, the question is, will this be a problem for my overall progress? I should still be able to get three workouts minimum a week ( I've been doing 4, one every other day, while I've had some time off), but the time in between them could be two or even three days at a time depending on my schedule. I'm really enjoying this so far, I'd hate to have my progress halted when I've finally found something that works so well for me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 01:57 PM PDT Okay so. I don't eat much, but I drink a lot of soda and snack. I have around 1 meal per day and a couple snacks in between. I drink a lot of soda and i'm struggling to give it up. I drink it mostly out of convenience when funeral planning and grieving and now it's a bad habit. I do yoga 3 times a week and try to get in a walk twice a week. I've done this for almost 3 months to no avail. If anything i've just put on weight in that time. I'm not very fit, I use to be a dancer but had a bad foot injury a few years back that still acts up so any intense training isn't good for me. I don't know much about fitness but i'm trying to get myself healthy again. Any tips on how to do better and fix my soda addiction? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Apr 2021 08:41 PM PDT My dilemma is what variations of pendlay row to incorporate into my programming. The first is an upper back focussed variation being pulled off 12" blocks with a semi-snatch grip, hitting the rear delts, thoracic extensors, mid-traps, rhomboids and some of the lats, or a version that focusses less on the upper back, but rather more emphatically the lats and traps. I do plenty of ring training and horizontal pulls to engage the upper back, so I wanted to hear the opinions of the sub on the matter of mixing barbell movements with rings and gymnastic training. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
