| How far can Weighted pullups, weighted dips and weighted pushups take me? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:11 AM PDT Hi Everyone, I started bodyweight fitness last year when I was extremely weak and was struggling to do a single pushup. I followed the recommended Routine and got better continuously, 6 months back I could do 10 full ROM Pull-ups, 20 straight bar dips, 30 pushups. After gyms opened, I joined one and started doing weights and was making good progress until covid hit me. It has been 10 days now and I have still not recovered fully. Also, the gyms have closed down and I am planning on working out from home again. I just wanted to ask you how effective would be the above-mentioned exercises in building a good strong physique, if I eat and rest well, I am also going to add pistol squats and running for legs. Can I progress in strength if I program my routine well and stay consistent? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Is it bad to workout in my room? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 07:49 AM PDT I workout in my room almost all the time and was wondering if it would affect my sleep quality or my mentality associated with my room. So far, I can still get in the workout mood whenever I have too but I find that sometimes my rest periods become longer than I plan too because my bed and desk is right next to me. I also can't do any jumproping or Light cardio for warming up. My sleep is fine but I tend to wake up during the night sometimes, I can still go back to sleep but lately I have been noticing that its occurring more often however, I'm not sure if exercising in my room is the main reason but I would like it if someone could help! I can either move my things in the garage, (rings, dumbbells) or just workout at the park or at a tree. Any suggestions or thoughts? Have you seen any benefits of moving your workout area? EDIT: thanks for all the comments! I'm going to try moving my things in the garage and see how things go! [link] [comments] |
| How can I burn more calories and build muscle on long walk? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 10:01 AM PDT Hey, I recently started playing Pokemon Go again because it's hot outside now and I've been walking anywhere between 10-15km daily for the past two weeks. I was wondering if y'all have any tips to make my walk more efficient either by building muscle at the same time or losing more calories? I was thinking about buying a weighted vest, ankle weights and one of those sauna shirts from Amazon. Do you think it's a good idea? Any help is appreciated, I'm trying to get more fit in 2021.

| Posted: 26 Apr 2021 10:20 AM PDT So i (17M) have always wanted to get into excersise, specifically bodyweight stuff because I am hella cheap. The only equipment i have access to is a barbell with about 20kgs of weights. I have an idea of a routine and just want your opinion. So warm up by doing some stretches (i know the ones but not sure of the names) - 8 push ups - 8 barbell rows (not sure on what weight) - 20 squats Rest for 1 minute between each excersise. - 12 push ups - 12 rows - 20 squats
Stretches I only have chance to do this stuff before bed. What should to improve this or is this okay [link] [comments] |
| Counting weekly volume per muscle Posted: 26 Apr 2021 11:43 AM PDT So basically Im a bit confused how compounds are counted on weekly volume. For example im going to look at just two movements for shoulder volume. Say im doing overheadpress/pikepushup and regular pushups. I do 3 sets of each 2 times a week. Do the pushups count towards shoulder volume because they are involved or do they just get counted as chest volume in most peoples books? Same story for rear delts. do only my reverse flies count or do my face pulls and horiztontal rows also count as rear delt volume despite not being isolation for it? [link] [comments] |
| Is working One arm chin ups once per week effective? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 11:55 AM PDT So im currently working at performing a OAC. I can currently do 12 max chin ups for 2 sets so I thought I would have sufficient strength to start training for a one arm chin up. My goals are to primarily work on the OAC but to also build muscle. My thoughts on a routine for my pull days (2 times per week), were to have 1 day focused on OAC work (Assisted OAC and One arm scapula pulls). And the other pull day focused on higher volume, two arm work (chin ups (8-10 reps), BW rows). Is this an effective approach? If i want to have abit more volume for muscle growth while still building strength for a OAC. Or would focusing on OAC work both days be more effective but still allow me to build a significant amount of muscle. [link] [comments] |
| Skill Practice, Programming Info Posted: 26 Apr 2021 09:16 AM PDT Just beginning to explore calisthenics-- this is a great group, and y'all are tremendously helpful folks! I'm wondering about where to program in skill work. I just started the recommended program along with a twice-weekly stretch routine. I'm really looking to learn handstands, and so right now, I'm working on crow pose. If I practice that on my stretch routine days-- which are generally sandwiched between normal training days-- am I likely to build up too much fatigue and create an interference effect? Or is that how people generally program in skill stuff? On a related note, can anyone recommend good sources to learn about calisthenics programming? At this point, I have no desire to tinker and create my own program; I'm way too new for that. However, I've really enjoyed learning how to think about lifting weights by way of Barbell Medicine, Iron Culture, Barbend, Alan Thrall, etc. over the past few years. I"m wondering what sorts of similar resources exist for calisthenics. [link] [comments] |
| I only see weight loss when I workout Posted: 25 Apr 2021 07:02 PM PDT I have been the same weight for as long as I can remember. An extra 20-30 lbs around my midsection only — literally. No butt or legs, small arms, etc. I realize it's genetics as I've ruled any/all possible health issues. I have also been eating keto for the last 3 years, I track all my calories etc. However, I ONLY see weight loss and changes in my body when I'm in a really low calorie deficit (less than 1000 per day) don't judge, I got frustrated and followed a very low calorie program, it was dumb. I also have a very sedentary lifestyle, I work some days up to 14 hours at a desk. I average about 4000 steps per day. In the last 2 weeks I've been doing HIIT workouts with some strength training and In two weeks alone I've seen pretty significant changes, although the scale hasn't moved. I guess my question is: what the heck is going on? I thought "Abs are made in the kitchen" What could I be doing wrong? I know I'm not over eating, on keto I'm not as hungry and actually afraid that I am under eating. Should I just keep eating how I am, knowing that alone won't change anything and just add in my workouts? Will I eventually hit a plateau that way? Edit: I did change my diet to high protein/low carb/ moderate fat while I've been working out. [link] [comments] |
| Move back to easier exercises and increase volume through reps or weight? Posted: 25 Apr 2021 01:12 PM PDT Hello, I'm doing the RR for about half a year on every second day and I progressed very well so far. For about 2 months I additionally use Rings and I can do stuff like ring pull-ups, ring dips (4x10) or RTO Support hold in a proper form. So in summary I am pretty happy. In the last 6 weeks, I tried to move on to more advanced exercises like training for (Ring) muscle-ups, RTO dips, or front lever. However, I did no progression at all. Instead, I almost feel so sore, that it hurts even 2-3 days after and I can't train properly. In addition, I can't do many reps to form a proper workout and only do negatives while being really sore after. So my question is how do i overcome this barrier? Essentially, I got two ideas. The first is to step back and try to drastically increase the reps of the exercises I already can do (RR + Ring support stuff) and thus increase the volume. I would try that for about 4 weeks and then go back to the more difficult exercises. The second would be to do the easier exercises with additional weights and thus increase volume and difficulty. I would need to buy a weight vest (any recommendations?) but that would not be an issue. What would you guys suggest? [link] [comments] |
| I know someone that looks like this person, are they obese? Posted: 25 Apr 2021 08:08 PM PDT
Here's the original person that looks similar to the person I'm getting information from : https://br.pinterest.com/pin/692428511460445253/ https://br.pinterest.com/pin/692428511460445257/ I don't know anything about the person in the images, but I do know that my friend looks exactly like her. My friend is older than me, but I've seen her grew up, and we're close enough that she would tell me if she had any procedures done. People called the woman in the photos obese and I just don't get it. Now let's go with the assumption that's she natural, and she eats healthy and does her best to take care of her body. Would she still be obese? Does she need to get rid of all the fat? [link] [comments] |
