| Do you guys save energy while doing pull ups? Posted: 24 Apr 2021 04:27 AM PDT Hello, They closed my gym recently so I started doing calisthenics; push-ups, pull-ups, chin-ups and so on. I just wanted to know how your plan looks like when it comes to pull ups, I'm usually against saving any energy during repetitions of any exercise, when I tell myself that I'm going to do 12 reps, and after 12th I feel like I could do 16 I feel unsatisfied. So when I do pull ups I always try to max out and I noticed that the amount of reps is SIGNIFICANTLY decreasing with every set (I do a 2 minute break between every set), usually it looks like that: 16x10x7x6x5, (I do them correctly, I always make sure to have chin above the bar and straight elbows while down) and idk if it wouldn't be better to save some energy to make it more even like: 12x12x10x8x8 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 09:29 AM PDT Im about 20 pounds overweight, so not a lot, but I also have very very little muscle. My family has always been the stick figure type. I was never athletic in highschool and am just finishing college and don't think I have legitimately had a work out since middle school gym. Today I decided to start working out because I've started having chest pains and learned about heart desease (doubt I have it but I am going down that path if I don't change). Also shirts are getting a little tight around the gut. I decided to start slow and work into it. I did some circuits (mostly legs) some stretches, and then decided to jog/walk a mile to finish off. About five minuets in I get a headache that isn't to sever, but bad enough to make me decide to stop. I think it might be dehydration? I didn't sweat much, and I drank before exercising, but I've always gotten dehydration very easily in the summer. I googled it and it seems some people do just get headaches when they exercise for no apparent reason? Do you guys have any thoughts? I'm going to try drinking more and continue to ease into exercise. Hopefully it's just a combination of dehydration and my unhealthy body complaining. [link] [comments] |
| beginner shrimp squats - inconsistent form Posted: 24 Apr 2021 11:04 AM PDT I began the startbodyweight routine a couple of months ago, and have worked my way up from deep squats to beginner shrimp squats (progression). I can just barely do the shrimp squats where my non-standing leg's knee and foot touch the floor at the same time—I'm not working through any pain during the workout but I noticed some of my reps my front knee is more inward (or it's hard to keep it perfectly stabile), and some reps my back knee touches the ground first whereas other times my foot touches first. I'm wondering if I should build up more of a foundation before trying to increase reps beyond 3x4 for these. Options I'm considering:

| Critique/advice on my self made routine Posted: 24 Apr 2021 09:17 PM PDT First of all, I am 29M, sedentary, weak all over. I want to build a habit of working out daily just like brushing my teeth every morning. My goals are general fitness and health with a strong enough body. I want to exercise every single day. That is why I don't want to go to failure. I want to keep my workouts short. The routine with correct progressions: 1 Push movement (3 sets)1 Pull movement (3 sets)1 Squat movement (3 sets)1 Bridge movement (3 sets)Front, Reverse and Side Plank. Each set will be 2 to 3 reps short of failure followed by rest. The movements will change as I progress. For example, I will start with incline rows and gradually move towards pullups. Same for all other movements. I will base my workouts in my home (raging pandemic in India). Is my routine okay? My logic for daily working out is that farmers don't take days off and have ripped bodies. I sleep 8 to 9 hours a day. I am fed up with feeling weak all the time even while doing mundane tasks like sitting to study/work. People who have followed this kind of workout routine and had success can also share their stories. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 09:28 AM PDT I'd like to start a program that includes the recommended routine and a kettlebell routine I can do throughout the week. I'm not very knowledgeable in regards to programming effectively to allow rest for worked muscle groups so I'm here to ask for y'all's help. This is what I've concocted Sunday: Active rest day Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Recommended routine, KB clean and press, weighted pull ups Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: Simple and Sinister, sprints, Burpees, ab work Any constructive criticism and advise is greatly appreciated.

| Posted: 24 Apr 2021 03:53 PM PDT I'm 24M 177cm 77.2kg What's the pull up variations and which muscles group are involved in each variations from biginner to advanced ? And should I do many variations in one session or focusing on one to three or two variations on order to reach my goal "one-arm pull up and muscle up". Recently I do: 9set 5rep wide pull up. 6set 5rep narrow pull up. 3set 15rep each side Australian archer pull up. Then try to do hanging for 30sec my max. It's almost the same with the push day I do straight-arm dip and archer push up then wall handstand and then pseudo push up Also there's 2 spirit days for the lower body First day 4set 11rep pistol squat 3set 15rep jumping squat 3set 15rep lunges each sides Some calves Second day 4set 15rep hamstrings ( bad form ) 3set 15rep bridge Hold bridge 30sec [link] [comments] |
| What is your sweet spot for a calorie deficit with also gaining strength? Posted: 24 Apr 2021 01:41 AM PDT Hey guys, 26M 5'11", in Jan I was 182 lbs around 20% bodyfat. I cut with a daily average of around 600 till about 176 before I noticed strength decreasing, which made me up calories to the point where I hit 185 (I know , lots of fat gained, appetite was huge) and then I started slowly cutting closer to 300 a day to around 182 again but I'd say closer to 18.5-19% bf (I've been consistently lifting with deloads and progressive overload since Jan 4). 600 a day was too fast with too much of an appetite returning but what I'm doing now is pretty slow maybe .5 lb a week, and I weekly refeed to maintenance so a little slower than that. Anyone else have similar numbers? How long / how much of a deficit did it take you to recomp? My long term goal is around 175-178 15% bf or less, thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Looking for tips on incorporating bwf/rings into a powerlifting routine. Posted: 24 Apr 2021 09:27 AM PDT I'll start with a little bit of background. I'm a 31 year old male who has been training in some fashion for about 12 years (mma, bjj, bodybuilding, bwf, even dabbled in parkour for a bit). Most recently I have been focusing on powerlifting and really enjoy it. I try to keep my workouts limited to 3 or 4 days for about an hour. A little over a week ago, I had kidney surgery and the Dr doesn't want me to lift heavy for a month or so. He said bodyweight is fine as long as I progress slowly. So, I decided to purchase some gymnastics rings for my home gym. In doing so, I reminded myself of how much fun that type of training can be. I will be working with just my bodyweight for a while, but I would like to get back into lifting heavy eventually as well. I'm just not sure of the best method for going about this. Should I just add ring work to the end of my powerlifting routine? For example, I could do 5/3/1 and use bodyweight accessories. Or should I break them into separate days? 3 days lifting and 1 day bwf? Some stats (I don't really know what all is relevant so I'll just throw some stuff out) - 5'9", 170lbs Bench- 295 Squat- 360 Deads- 500 Chinups- 15ish Havent tried in a long time, but years ago, I could do 7 or 8 bar muscle ups and hold a back lever for a few seconds Can do handstands/ walk on hands, but can't keep my legs straight Also, powerlifting and lack of stretching has left me with pretty tight hamstrings, so that may hinder me in some of the bodyweight progressions. Sorry if I've rambled. Anyways, If anyone has any tips or advice, I'd love to hear it [link] [comments] |

| Maintaining instead of gaining Posted: 23 Apr 2021 09:53 PM PDT Newbie here. Been at it for a little over 8 months, and for now I'm thinking of maintaning weight as opposed to gaining any more. I have a question: Do I just do the stuff I normally do and keep it like this or do I still have to push myself? Lately my routine has been becoming easier and easier for me because I've been getting used to it and I haven't really changed it up since I'm maintaining now. Do I just keep doing this difficulty level in order to maintain muscle or do I still need to gradually increase the difficulty? [link] [comments] |
| Skinny young dude with fat thighs Posted: 23 Apr 2021 07:14 PM PDT I am 14 (15 in roughly 20 days) years old, male, 168 cm (5"6), 56kg (123 lbs). Don't have that much fat around my belly but quite a bit on my thighs while my calves look perfectly normal for my weight. I wanna build muscle bc I've heard that this is the best age for someone to build muscle. But i've heard that you cant lose body fat without losing muscle too so i wanted to lose the body fat first then build muscle unless i can do both of them at the same time (I've heard that you cant so them both at the same time) just like when bulking. Can anyone with experience help me i'd truly appreciate it. [link] [comments] |
| same reps for two weeks straight? Posted: 23 Apr 2021 01:58 PM PDT So i came off an injury that took me out of working out for 4 weeks. After the first work out from the injury and up until now which is the second week (4 workouts for pull ups and 4 work outs for push ups so far), I blew back up pretty quickly. The thing is visually im very noticeably buffer than 2 weeks ago, but my weight has been changing lighter to a little heavier this past 2 weeks since i started working out again. And I'm on a calorie deficit of 300-500 calories a day, but with very high protein of at least 1lb per body weight. My max reps for push up reps and pull up reps have stayed the same that it was as the first work out 2 weeks ago when i came out of the injury. Now 2 weeks or 4 work outs later of having worked push ups and pull ups 4 times total each, it's still the same max reps. What is going on? Rest is on point, diet is on point. Water is on point. Is it because my muscles are blowing back up from the muscle memory making me heavier after each workout, and thus keeping me the same rep numbers? Will my weight balance out eventually from the muscle memory, as in stop growing once it gets back to the size it was before my injury, and my numbers start going up again? [link] [comments] |
