| I (13M) achieved one arm pushup! Posted: 30 Apr 2021 09:57 AM PDT Recently, I found out I can do good form 5 one arm pushups, with both hands. FYI, I started calisthenics around 7-9 months ago from scratch, so I couldn't even do 1 pushup, and 0 negative as well. What do you guys think about this? Was my process fast? And primarily, I would really appreciate some tips on what to do next. My main goal is to learn Planche and maltese, but when I do tuck planche, my outer forearm/wrist pains at the beginning and the end of the hold, not in the middle. Anyone knows why, and the solution to it? My another goal is to get muscle / bulk up. So, I would like to know some exercises which will help me in this. Thanks in advance! Edit: I actually never focused on one arm pushup but on strengthening my primary muscles, i.e. Biceps, triceps, back, legs, etc. [link] [comments] |
| Should I slow down my weight loss to prevent skin sag? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 07:43 AM PDT Hi everyone, over the last 4 months I've been trying very hard to get myself in shape. I am a male 5'8" and was 240 pounds when I started late December. I am today down to 190.4, and I have no sag to my skin whatsoever but I am afraid I will if I keep going at this pace(around 3-5 pounds per week). I have been doing 90 minutes of very intense cardio per day, and do the RR 3 days a week as well. I have also been limiting my calories to an average of 1350 per day. I have been using the TDEE spradsheet and I am burning around 3600 calories per day. I try to drink plenty of water, and would just be really bummed if after all this work I had tons of loose skin.

| I think I am doing to much volume for back. Can anyone help? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 08:14 AM PDT For about a month now I have been feeling this weird pain in the middle of my forearm and bicep on my left arm. If I flex my bicep it also hurts. I think this is because I hurt a tendon. Also my elbows have pain sometimes and can make clicking sounds if I snap my arm. This started happened once I put weighted pull ups back into my routine. Currently I work my back 3 times a week on pull days. And I have 2 push days, and 2 leg days. I also don't know what the right amount of volume should be for my back workouts. I do a lot of pull ups, front lever training, and grip strength stuff. My workout that I was doing for the past couple months for my back day was Weighted day, once a week 4 sets muscle ups, 10 min of practicing handstands, 3 sets front lever holds max progression, 3 sets front lever negatives. 3 sets tuck front lever pull ups 5 sets of 5 weighted pullups 5 sets of 5 weighted chin ups 4 sets bodyweight pullups 4 sets inverted rows on rings 3 sets dumbell shrugs then is did rear delts 4 sets standing reverse flies 4 sets dumbell rows then I did grip strenght 3 sets one arm hangs pull up grip 3 sets one arm hangs chin up grip then i did a 5 min plank. Then for bodyweight day I did twice a week 4 sets muscle ups 10 min of handstand practice 4 sets front lever holds max progression 3 sets front lever raises 3 sets front lever pullups then I did bodyweight pullups 3 sets archer pullups 3 sets close grip pullups 3 sets wide grip pullups 3 sets chin ups 3 sets neutral grip pullups 4 sets inverted rows with rings 3 sets dumbell shrugs then I did rear delts 4 sets standing reverse flies 4 sets dumbell rows then I did grip strength 3 sets one arm hangs pull up grip 3 sets one arm hangs chin up grip then I did a 5 min plank I did the bodyweight workout 2 times a week and the weighted one once a week. I think this is to much volume but I don't know what a good amount of pullups and front lever workouts is to build more back mass and strength. If this is to much volume. Can you put the sets and reps to your workout below. I also think I have tendonitis in my left arm and I'm going to be taking a week off. But if you could put the sets and reps or your workout below, it would be much appreciated. Also I've been working out for a year and a couple months now. Also recently I felt a weird feeling in my shoulders when doing pullups yesterday. The feeling went away. I didn't know this until now but apparently your supposed to retract scapula during pullups. If you have any tips on proper form. please let me know. [link] [comments] |
| Bachelor Thesis about Fitspiration Content Posted: 30 Apr 2021 08:23 AM PDT Hi fellow fit people! I am currently writing my Bachelor Thesis, and in order to graduate I need to send out a survey. I am very interested in fitness myself, hence why I chose this topic. As you guys are also interested in fitness, it would be great if you would fill out my survey. It will only take about 5 minutes of your time :) So are you between 18-44 years of age, do you have the American nationality, or have you been living there for at least 5 years, and do you have Instagram? If the answer to all these questions is "yes", then you are welcome to fill it in. I really appreciate it ♥ https://erasmusuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2fvVv9Fuw0fL36e [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2021 07:21 AM PDT Good morning athletes, I am currently working on my upper body (chest, shoulders, arms, and back) so I can develop enough strength to be able to complete a pull-up/chin-up in proper form. I am using dumbbells and barbells in order to do so. However, due to the variety or benefits that pull-ups/chin-ups provide, do I need to do another workouts besides those (adding weight incrementally of course). Besides Abs, Legs and Cardio I only need to do pull-ups/chin-ups and possibly supplement them with Deadlifts in order to develop and maintain an ideal physique. Please feel free to add to my theory. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| [Question] Combining bouldering with recommended routine? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 11:40 AM PDT Hi! First of all, sorry if some similar question has been already asked here. I started bouldering 3 months ago. In the last few weeks I've been thinking about starting to do the recommended routine as well, as I feel I've been gaining a little bit of volume and strenght on the arms but not on the legs, core, etc (Have to say that I'm quite skinny and I'm trying to gain some weight). Since it is recommended to have at least one day of rest in between, I'm considering compacting the bouldering plus the recommended routine in the same day (something like: 2 hours aprox of bouldering and then do the routine, 2-3 days a week). Do you guys think it would be feasible or would be too much for my body? If so, do you think I could skip the dynamic stretches as I would have had already warmed up? Any suggestion, recommendation or whatever will be much appreciated! :-) Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| How do you go back to a slim physique after bulking up from weightlifting? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 11:37 AM PDT I (45f) am a life-long runner but as I've gotten older I've found it harder to keep up the pace and the mileage. I still jog, but I've retired my racing shoes. So a few years ago I decided to try something new and started weightlifting. I loved it and felt really motivated by how strong I got. But much to my surprise I bulked up more than I thought I would. And not all of it was from heavy weights. Even from doing pull-ups, my back and shoulders got broad- not huge, but I definitely don't look like a runner anymore. For the last 2 years or so I've focused mainly on jogging, biking, and light weights with high reps. Just wondering, though, how can I get my shoulders a little slimmer again? I'm at a good weight, it's really just my shoulders, upper back because as a female this makes it harder to find shirts that fit. [link] [comments] |
| I am feeling pull ups mostly in my arms. Posted: 30 Apr 2021 11:02 AM PDT I am new to bodyweight training. I have seen many pull up tutorials on youtube and everyone is doing them slightly different. Some have an arch in their back in the whole range and some are rounding at the top and then there are some who have a straight diagonal body the entire time. And then they go either straight up and down or in a slight c-curve. I have tried everything, I feel a slight pump in my back but mostly in my arms. But I am doing everything that has been said in every video: Activate your scapula, tighten your legs and abs for stability, do a row pull up hybrid motion, create external torque with your arms, lead with your chest. But I have never felt a real contraction in my back. I don't really know what version is the best for me right now. I mostly want to get strong (doing weighted pull up and some day the one arm pull up) but having some muscle back there would not hurt. At the moment I am at 3-5 reps for 2 months. What pullup "version" and which cues would be the best for me? [link] [comments] |
| RR Form Check (only pull-ups, ring dips, and horizontal rows) Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:30 AM PDT Can someone check my form for pull-ups, ring dips, and horizontal rows? Videos are posted below and there is a front and back video for ring dips. I'm pretty confident I can correct form for the other exercises I'm doing myself, but these three are so fundamental I want to make sure I correct any improper form. Videos: https://imgur.com/gallery/FComvyJ Pull-ups: Ideally I would like to grip to be a little wider but unfortuantely on this pull-up bar I would have to sacrifice for a netural grip. Also, I know my legs shouldn't be crossed but I don't have the room to let them hang. Ring Dips: I think these are fairly messy, but I'm not sure what I need to correct. Horizontal Rows: Hopefully these are pretty good. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Apr 2021 02:41 PM PDT How should I program my explosive trainings? What's the best way? Should I have a workout with only explosive exercises (push and pull too) once a week or should I do a few sets of explosive moves at the beginnig of my push and pull workouts? How does a explosive workout look like at all? What are the main features of it? Most people say, that we should do a few sets of a plyometric exercise (in which we want to develop), in the 1-5 rep range, to the point when we lose the explosiveness, and the recommended rest time is 3 minutes between the sets. But what about explosive endurance? Is it useless? For exemple if somebody works on the superman push up, and he does 3 sets of two reps (his max), whould it be beneficial for him in a long term to do two more sets with easier progression, with higher reps, instead of doing 5sets of superman push ups? For the easier progressions I meant 1 set of chest touch push ups (about 7 reps) and 1 set of clapping push ups as a finisher (our person could hit about 14 reps). I think this way he would gain more endurance too, and he would be able to maintain his explosive power for more reps and time. Am I right? Is that the best way to structure explosive workouts? (Lowing down the intensity in the last sets) And what about that kind of explosive execises in which you slow down in the negative part or even stop for a couple of seconds? (Ex: clapping dips but you let yourself down slowly after the fast concentric, and you stop in the bottom position for 2 seconds, than explode up again) (Btw sorry for my english) [link] [comments] |
