| Incorporating HIIT into my workouts Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:59 AM PDT I'm a 23(F) and weigh about 110lbs. I've been consistently working out about 4-5 days a week for five months now with the goal to put on weight and muscle. I don't stick to a meal plan, but more so eat intuitively (lots of protein shakes, oatmeal, fruit/veggie salads, pasta). I'm finally starting to see some progress and have gained a few pounds, but I'm noticing that even with ab workouts I look kind of pudgy in my stomach/ lower back. I get this is the price to pay to bulk up, but now I'm looking to incorporate some HIIT into my routine. I just don't know where to begin with the number of days or length of sessions. I've been scared of cardio because I've been a twig my whole life and bulking in general is hard for me. But if there's a way to keep building muscle while staying lean then I am down to try it. Any help is greatly appreciated :) [link] [comments] |
| [Academic] What Factors Lead Young Men to Place Excess Pressure on Their Physique? (Males 18-30) Posted: 27 Apr 2021 10:15 AM PDT I feel like the bodyweight fitness community would be an excellent resource for my academic research that is being done. I hope this is okay. This survey is being used to investigate potential factors that cause young men (ages 18 to 30) to place excess pressure on themselves to attain a certain physique or physical appearance. By filling out the survey questions below and submitting the form, you are giving consent for your answers to be used in the research. https://forms.gle/gmDUqoV7A9QAM7hu8 Thank you so much for looking at my survey and taking it!

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 01:17 AM PDT my collarbone and my shoulders feel uncomfortable after workouts, but when i do a german hang-like stretch, everything is back to normal. but from the german hang i only need the shoulder stretch, but its really hard on my biceps so i can't go full rom, and without full rom i don't feel the stretch in my shoulders so i do it with a desk with bent arms. is it ok to do it that way until i build up for a proper german hang? also do you have any ideas how should i workout my rear delt? i can buy bands in a months or so until then i'm using a dip bar to do rows but i don't feel like it engages my delt enough but there's definitely an imbalance in my shoulders bc i neglected rows for a long time and i also think that's the reason i need the stretch after workouts [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:46 AM PDT Intro I'm a 23 year old Male. 5"7 @ 165 lbs. running a Upper/Lower split. I have decent knowledge on weight training but started to train calisthenics for about 8 months now. I'm posting this to see if my routine is good for the goals I'm trying to reach and if it needs any improvements and/or tips you guys can lend me! Only going to specify Upper body goals in this thread. Primary Goals: One Armed Pull Up & Handstand Pushup Secondary Goals: Front Lever/135lb. weighted pull up & Planche/150lb. weighted dip My Routine Warm up : GMB Wrist Prep, Shoulder Dislocates/Inlocates , RTO Support Hold, Pullups x 10 Reps/ Dips x 10 Reps Skill Work: C2W (3x30s) , Toe Pulls (3xMAX HOLD) & Heel Pulls (3xMAX HOLD) eventually going to start working kick ups more but decided to focus more on my balance as of right now. If this needs to be known I can get an average of a 6-7s Free Standing HS 4/10 times (this is why I'm going to focus on kick up training on its own once I feel as if my balance is wayyyyyy better) To be honest I hate training L-Sit so every so often I throw it in there! (I know I should train it more but eeeeeee) Strength: Vertical Pull: Weighted Pull ups 3x5 ( @ 50lbs. adding 2.5 lbs. every workout) Eventually going to start adding more OAP Eccentric/Concentric work (F.Y.I 1 RM of Weighted Pull ups is 85lbs.) Horizontal Pull: Ring Adv. Tuck Front Lever 1/2 Raises 3x4 (Adding 1 Rep each workout) Vertical Push: Change between Decline Pike Push ups 3x8 (Adding 1 Rep each workout) & Weighted Dips 3x5 (@ 57.5 lbs. adding 2.5 lbs. every workout) Horizontal Push: Ring Turned Out 40 Degree PPPU 3x4 Cool Down:
My questions is if there is anything I should add/remove? Can I add in the Decline Pike Push ups with the weighted dips in the same workout so I don't have to keep doing 1 each workout? If so, do I have to add another Horizontal or Vertical Pull so I don't gain any muscle imbalances for a total of 6 exercises in 1 workout instead of 4? Thoughts or concerns?

| Classmates building muscle quick demotivating Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:51 AM PDT I've been doing calisthenics for a REALLY long time, working extremely hard on my schedule, discipline, some Wim Hof method stuff and diet, I've made huge improvements. But some of my classmates have recently started going to the gym, and it's honestly almost demotivating how quickly they build big muscles with low effort some of them, like in the changing room before P.E, some of them have huge muscles and it makes me feel like all my hard work is going to waste. Just wanted to say that, I'll go finish my workout now and keep pushing on :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:42 AM PDT I've been doing the RR for over a year and i've seen good results. However due to my work schedule I am starting to find it easier to split in such manner all workout done in the morning.
*I've dropped core triplets as I've progressed pretty far ahead with my pairs. I'm just wondering what are the pros/cons between this arrangement and recommended arrangement of:

| Weighted Pull ups or Front Lever exercise first for programing? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:11 PM PDT So im currently in the process of working towards a front lever and was wondering what the best approach would be towards structuring my pulling routines. If I should do my front lever training first or my weighted pull up training first. I can currently do 25lbs of 5x5 with pull ups and a 5-7 second adv tucked FL. 1st option: Front lever Holds/ Front lever dynamics (slow eccentrics) Weighted Pull Ups (5x5) Accessory 2nd option: Weighted Pull Ups (5x5) Front lever Holds/ Front lever dynamics (slow eccentrics) Accessory What would be the best approach? I was thinking that building my back strength would be the best option in terms of strengthening my back musculature in order to do a front lever since I could do more weight/reps if it was the first exercise. But at the same time thought that doing front lever training first when I'm fresh would be better in terms of specificity. [link] [comments] |

| What's the name of a particular kind of squat? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 10:12 AM PDT The name has been eluding me for days now so I have to ask you guys :D What's the type of the squat where you (typically with just bodyweight, but weightlifters call it ass-to-grass) sit in the complete bottom of your squat for extended periods of time? There's a particular name for it that I remember being derived from the fact that certain cultures use it as a typical "sitting" pose? I think typically you're supposed to rest your buttocks on your heals when you do it, but I've seen it done with a bit of a wider more sumo-esque foot placement? [link] [comments] |
| Henry cavil immortal physique + workout Posted: 27 Apr 2021 09:04 AM PDT Hey everyone gyms have been closed for a while here so I switched to mainly bodyweight fitness with some dumbbells, I would say I'm close to achieving the physique I want with bodyweight fitness, I just need maybe a tad bit more muscle but still got a few % body fat to shave. I looked at the immortal workout (just really a typical HIIT workout but pretty solid) targeting mainly bodyweight stuff with some dumbell work. The thing is in the interviews he said he was training 9-5. Isn't that a little excessive for that physique, or am I missing something that I need to train way more extensively in order to pack on those extra lbs of muscle at the end of the cut? Interview I'm referring to: https://youtu.be/GQ9lXqwOzhU (he talks about it at the beginning of the video) I really feel like the immortal physique is achievable with less intensive work. I'm mainly doing body workouts (typically what's recommended here) along with some hiit dumbell workouts. Does anyone recommend anything else? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:38 AM PDT Hello! I am looking for help and advice. I am a 20y/o female, my height is 182cm and my weight is 53-54kg. I have 11% body fat, started to do weight training with dumbbells up to 30kg few months ago(gyms are currently closed). Reverse dieted from 1600kcal to 2000-2050kcal, I am pretty active. I workout 6x per week, I have 1 active rest day and walk 7 days per week +10,000 steps. I really want to gain some weight and build muscle, improve my strength and progress overtime. I am super lost how much I need to eat in order to maintain/gain weight. I eat "clean", hitting 180g of protein, however during past few months nothing changed. Maybe someone could give me an advice where should I start? I try to add 0,5kg of weight each week for my workout split to progressively overload, but I believe that I do not eat enough for muscle building process. Shall I need to have more rest days, increase my kcal intake? I tried several calorie calculators, spreadsheets to determine how much fuel I need to see some changes, I am pretty scared about gaining weight but I am calming myself down, since I have no idea how I will feel/look once I will gain that extra weight. I also trained fasted in the morning, but from this week I started to have banana before workouts and I saw some changes in performance. I aim to gain weight but without getting to fluffy. I would like to hear some advice, tips from you guys! my current workout routine: My lower body day: I use 8.5kg x 2 dumbbells and I increase 0.5kg each session. squat 3x12 sumo squat 3x12 deadlift normal 3x12 reverse lunge R 3x12 reverse lunge L 3x12 deadlift to squat 3x12 sumo squat and 3 pulses 3x12 rdl to lunge L 3x12 rdl to lunge R 3x12 squat and 3 pulses 3x12 glute bridge 3x12 reverse lunge kickback and knee tuck L 3x12 reverse lunge kickback and knee tuck R 3x12 bulgarian split squat L 3x12 bulgarian split squat R 3x12 curtesy lunge L 3x12 curtesy lunge R 3x12 Barebell: 18kg Barebell hip thrust 3x10 Deadlift barebell 3x10 Upper body day: I use 6kg x 2 dumbbells + add 0.25kg each session Bicep curls 3x8 Squat to arnold press 3x10 Hammer curls 3x10 Upward row standing 3x10 Snatch and press 3x10 alternating Bent over row L 3x10 Bent over row R 3x10 Arnold press 3x10 Standing bent-over rows 3x10 Chest press 3x10 Alternating bicep curl 3x10 Front raises L 3x8 Front raises R 3x8 Deadlift 3x10 Renegade row on the floor L 3x10 Renegade row on the floor R 3x10 Tricep extension L 3x8 Tricep extension R 3x8 Lateral raise front w 1 dumbbell 3x10 One shoulder press L 3x8 One shoulder press R 3x18 Around the world 3x10 Tricep row kickback 3x10 Lateral raise side L 3x8 Lateral raise side R 3x8 Standing Curl to press 3x10 Deadlift and row 3x10 Tricep with one dumbbell standing 3x10 Full body: I use 7kg x 2 dumbbells And I follow these videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRtcwWMcjmg&list=PLgSk5A8PKG427iPZIK8clmEXEdPYZ3d90&index=1&t=1265s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS1Q86V8fB0&list=PLgSk5A8PKG427iPZIK8clmEXEdPYZ3d90&index=4 + Overhead reverse lunge r 4x12 Overhead reverse lunge l 4x12 Squat to press 1x Deadlift row 4x12 Curtesy lunge r 4x12 curtesy lunge l 4x12 rdl to curl r 4x12 swing 1x rdl to curl l 4x12 I do 2x lower ; 2x upper; 2x full body per week.

| How should I go about weighted pull-ups (and dips)? Posted: 26 Apr 2021 01:50 PM PDT Sorry if this is a repetitive question, but could not really find a clear answer (probably because opinions differ on the matter). Anyway, I have been doing weighted pull-ups for a while now, in my upper/lower body split. I start with weighted 4 sets of weighted pull-ups and after that I do 4 sets of weighted dips. Atm I am kind of stuck on +5kg reps: 8-8-7-6 for pull-ups and +5kg reps: 13-11-10-9 for dips. What should be the best way to advance from here, should I decrease my reps such that I can do 4 sets of the same amount of reps? For example, after the first set of pull-ups I do 8, but can probably do 1-2 more, for the second set 8 is kind of the maximum, does this mean that I shouldn't do 8? Or is there a whole different way to tackle this? I'd love to hear any advice and feedback, thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
