| Exercise spreadsheet/list with "points" for progressions? Posted: 21 Apr 2021 07:28 AM PDT Hi guys! I'm restructuring my workout to give myself some trackable progress. My thought is to associate points to each exercise/rep/duration so that as I increase in progression and effort, my points increase. For example: Scap Pulls = 1 point per rep Pull-ups = 5 points per rep etc... Simple enough! But I'm having trouble finding a simple list of progressions with progressive exercises listed in order of difficulty. Before I start extracting that list from the RR and other posts, does anyone have a head-start? Any ideas on how to assign points? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Finding motivation to get back in shape again Posted: 21 Apr 2021 11:39 AM PDT Not sure if this is the right subreddit 23f. 132 lbs. I used to be pretty lean/cut 3 years ago before getting my first job. I lifted weights twice a day-ate about enough but mostly only had carbs. Would drink dark coffee while lifting weights and did the Michael b Jordan training regimen from the creed minus the boxing/running stuff. I'm pretty petite and my metabolism is fast so you can tell I was a little buff I got my first job and it's exhausting. I have about 4 hours of free time after work and I don't have the energy to do anything. I used to be 100-109 lbs all throughout high school up until a few months ago. I always said "I don't see where the 20-30 lbs goes" until yesterday. My body looks weird (mid section seems wider) and I'm very. Disgusted I'm enlisting into the Navy if I don't get disqualified and don't even have the motivation to get fit for doing that. I have weight sets /bench and boxing bag at home but don't even use them. I can't motivate myself to get up and start Anyone have any advice on how to force myself? I am stick thin where everyone thinks I'm anorexic-just thin and have a weird body type. I've become insecure and noticed I'm eating way too much crappy food recently [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2021 02:54 PM PDT I'm just getting back to a bwf routine and some days are harder on my wrists than others. I'm working on my wrists, but some days I don't want to push it with the handstands. On these days, I'll keep my handstands a bit shorter and rest between them a bit longer and between these handstands, I started to just balance on one foot (with my eyes open). I got pretty comfortable pretty fast - standing still, playing around with my arms and leg and torso. Then I remembered a few years ago I was rehabing an injury and doing "hip airplanes", already a pretty tough balance exercise for me, and the progression after I mastered it was to close my eyes. It's shocking how much harder it is! I don't think I ever really mastered it. Sure enough, nowadays with my even worse balance, just playing around on one foot with eyes closed is pretty hard (maybe I should try the hip airplanes again too). I do seem to progress with with these balancing exercises quicker than other things, but getting creative, I think this balance work will remain interesting and helpful and fun to me for at least as long as it takes to get to the point where my wrists aren't a limiting factor in my handstand work. I just thought I'd share with other beginners or people coming back from injuries who want skill work, but 10 minutes of handstand work alone seems to involve a lot of sitting around (or washing dishes in my case) because of joint issues or a lack of shoulder strength or whatever. In case y'all were looking for ideas anyway. [link] [comments] |
| 193cm "6,4" Ft, need tips for front lever training routine! Posted: 21 Apr 2021 03:24 AM PDT Hi my name is Rick and I'd love to have some advice from people who know about, or might have had the same issues I'm dealing with right now. I've been doing calisthenics for three years right now, and it has been challenging mostly because of my height. This has always been a fun challenge for me but it brings some issues like needing different approaches to routines. Even though my height makes it a little harder I have already archieved quite some things. I'm able to do back-clap push ups, a full backlever and clean muscle ups. However i have been training for the front lever for 8 months now, and I have an extremely low progress. I am abble to do a straddle front lever, but i have been stuck at that point for 3 months now, with little improvement. I am predicting that this is because of a bad training routine. If annyone has a training routine to really work on the strenght I need to build, without neglecting other areas to much that would be great. Preferably people with a height close or similar to mine. Thanks in advance to all who reply! [link] [comments] |
| Beginner here, need a bit of help structuring myself Posted: 20 Apr 2021 07:04 PM PDT Im 16m, 1,74m and 57 kg, pretty fucking low, I know, I hate myself (jk, just trying to get better). For now, Im completely neglecting legs and doing two types of workouts 6 days a week. First day https://youtu.be/qwx1VV9vV1A https://youtu.be/rxEMKXW2Wqs First day I start with these two chest workouts, maybe 2 min rest between each other. I follow it with: shoulders: https://youtu.be/tKU64bd4gaw triceps https://youtu.be/z8_fSUc7MTw These two. Although I can stand quite a bit with the shoulders workout, I find the triceps one quite advanced and at this point at the routine Im dead so I know im not gonna be able to complete it. Being honest, I just try to make sure my muscles are exhausted, but I dont get to the point where my arm shakes after a workout (that used to happen at the gym and I dont have money for the gym anymore 😠), although I cant get any more reps done, I can do at least 10 pushups at this point. Second day: https://youtu.be/imRJUblCTjw this one two times Then I practice my pullups since I can barely do any. When Im done I have quite a pump on lats and biceps, so I finish with this: Bicep workout: https://youtu.be/bdY4YXkpSr8 Besides this, I workout core every day with one of these two: https://youtu.be/dJlFmxiL11s https://youtu.be/zzD80vCLq0Y And I do some half assed burpees to get some cardio in. My biggest doubts are: 1) are these routines made to be completed more than once? Should I do the chest/pushup workout three times instead of trying and failing at the triceps and shoulders one? 2)My chest day is waaay more intense than my back and biceps one, but I think it will get more intense once I can do series of 10 pullups, but for now, Im quite struggling. 3)Im eating a ton of food, but having a hard time counting calories. I have half a bowl of oatmeal with milk (oats are expensive) and two pieces of bread with cheese and an egg two times a day. For lunch and dinner I just eat a lot, my family is struggling with money so I dont eat quite what id like to, but for my metabolism, I think a lot of food will do. 4) Are my routines good? Are they complete? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 02:18 AM PDT Hey everyone, I've been working out for a couple years now. Over the years, I've had a few different routines, switching them up once I feel like I don't progress anymore. And that's where I am with my current routine which is why I thought it might be a good idea to get a couple opinions about what to change. My goals are to build strenght and muscle (who would've thought) as well as progressing on front lever and planche. This is my current routine: I'm doing full body workouts three times a week and cardio on the days I don't workout. I have one active rest day. Here's the routine, I'm doing supersets to save some time: Front lever progression 4x10-15 seconds hold Planche progression 4x10-15 seconds hold 90 seconds rest between sets Handstand Push Ups 5x5 Chin Ups with 20kg weight vest 5x5 90 seconds rest between sets Squats with 20kg weight vest 4x20 Bulgarian Split Squats with 20 kg weight vest 4x8 each leg 30 seconds rest between sets Wide grip pull Ups 3x8 Pseudo Planche Push Ups 3x8 60 seconds rest between sets Dips with 20kg weight vest 3x10 Resistance Band Curls 3x10 60 seconds rest between sets L-Sit hold 3x25 to 30 seconds Ab wheel rollout 3x10 60 seconds rest between sets My biggest problem are the legs. I know that 20 reps is way too high to build strenght or muscle but I can't increase the weight since my vets can only hold 20kg and I'm not too sure about other exercises that could target the same muscles. As I mentioned before, I feel like I hit a plateau with basically all the exercises. Adding reps right now is extremely difficult and not consistently possible for me. Thanks for taking your time to read my post, I would really appreciate some help. [link] [comments] |
| Calorie deficit with high protein diet, does it work for building muscle and losing fat? Posted: 20 Apr 2021 02:42 PM PDT First of all, I'm 27 years old, and 190 cm tall (6.23 feet), and weigh 103 kgs (227 lbs). So recently (about 45 days ago) I decided to stop eating crap and start working out (3 sessions a week). Even though I used to eat anything and everything (literally) with 0 weight gain, but I guess life now is just welcoming me into adulthood and slow metabolism. First I started with a small calorie deficit (2000 calories per day) but I really wanted to lose that belly fat and love handles so I lowered that deficit to about 1700 calories per day (40% of it is protein, so about 176g). It's been a week now since I lowered it to 1700 and I'm still not loosing any considerable weight. Am I doing something wrong? Also am is it possible to avoid muscle lose with the strategy of "high protein" that I'm taking? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2021 06:25 PM PDT Hey guys, I've been browsing previous posts on people struggling on the top half of a OAP and a lot of you mention focusing on partial reps ? I can barely pull myself from an active dead hang to maybe 90 degrees but how do I get myself to the top and just focusing there? Is there an exercise or set up that could achieve this? I have weights and a weight vests available if that helps. [link] [comments] |
| Best home gym flooring for plyometric/bodyweight focused routine? Posted: 20 Apr 2021 08:46 PM PDT In the middle of a side lunge set today my Costco foam tiles decided to separate and I was soooo lucky I didn't pull a groin muscle as a result. I've been having a lot of issues with them and that was the last straw. I know horse stall mats are all the rage in various fitness communities but I'd prefer something geared towards protecting my joints vs protecting the floor from heavy barbells or kettle bells. Has anyone else been down this rabbit hole? I found options from vendors like Regupol, Mondo, and ecore, but I'm not sure how they compare to "plyometric flooring." Does someone out there make rubber gym flooring with a plyometric base covered by a strong/stiff wear layer giving folks like us the best of both worlds?? Is there a gold standard? I'm 41 and I factor in a lot of jumping and lunging into my workouts. The foam tiles have been great for my joints but foam just doesn't hold up the way rolled rubber flooring does.
