| Don't give up if you have tendonitis. I had tendonitis for 18 months. From 0 Pull ups to 3x5 +17.5kg Posted: 11 May 2021 09:44 PM PDT Hi all Just for context. Just before the pandemic I had a very very bad case of elbow tendonitis. Golfer's in my case. I couldn't do many things as the pain ranges from ( Scale 1-10 ) 6-8 , even very basic movements. I couldn't do push ups , dips , pull ups , chin ups , any hanging movements, deadlift , presses , curls etc. It was dreadful and I was nearing on depression. The lockdown happened about 6 months after my injury. In which I took a lot of time walking and doing mobility and flexibility work. I got a full pancake, pike , stand to stand bridge etc. During the entire 18 months I did not do a single upper body day. Finally after seeing a physio back in October. Doing drills and ultra sound it slowly healed. January 2021 I started adding full pull ups into my schedule. And today 4 months later I was able to do 3x5 + 17.5kg! All and all I've learned a few things whilst recovering.
That's my message for now! So don't give up! It'll get better!! [link] [comments] |
| Trying to get back to a proper diet for working out, looking for insight Posted: 11 May 2021 04:11 PM PDT What it says on the title https://i.imgur.com/AXeLIuf.png < --- my current diet, which meets or comes close to all of my macro nutrients, but is, I suspect, very unbalanced. I listed my TDEE calculations beneath it, but just in case: 2064 calories per day 160 pounds I'm mostly here because the above diet, while delicious, doesn't seem like it's actually a good idea, despite hitting my macros. I'm looking for other cheap, easy to prepare foods to weave in to prevent health issues without exceeding my calorie count or missing out on macros. [link] [comments] |
| long rest times, volume/frequency/fatigue/RPE/grinding Posted: 12 May 2021 08:32 AM PDT A little background, I wasn't very active during lockdowns. Restarted doing exercise with Pavel Tsatsouline Fighter Method Pull Up Program a few months back. Was doing anything else with it aside from a few push ups sometimes in the afternoon or evening after I was done with all my sets. Felt boss to be fresh for every set and see my rep numbers skyrocket almost overnight. Eventually I started adding more exercises, some that I could only do at a calisthenics park before I got rings. I added horizontal pulls, front lever work, dips and since the park was a good 20 minute walk away, I couldn't just do a set of something and then go back home immediately to rest and then come back an hour later. But now that's changing since I got rings. I've been seeing a lot of lifting videos on youtube these days discussing the relationship between volume and grindy reps. It turns out that theres a good amount of evidence that suggests you can make gains (strength gains?) as long as you have high volume, somewhat regardless of how intense was your set/how many reps you had in reserve/how slow the reps are. It reminded me of what Pavel said a lot about how gymbros have it wrong when it comes to going to failure or close to it. Considering that I'm almost always at home these days, it really wasn't a problem for me to go out side my apartment block every hour to 2 hours to go do pull ups with the Fighter Method programme, I was wondering, would it be beneficial/worth it to do the same for every compound exercise I have in my routine? I can realistically stop whatever I'm doing and put on some clothes and shoes and do a set or two every half hour. I'll leave out ab work and fluff in the late afternoon/evening and do them with normal rest times. I realized I absolutely couldn't crank out at as many reps on the pull ups after I've been fatigued with dips a few minutes earlier during a workout. Currently I'm only mostly doing ring dips, pullups/chinups, front lever work, leg raises/dragonflag negatives. Thinking of adding ring pushups and ring curls. Not doing any legs, because I hate bodyweight leg exercises and have no access to the gym [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 May 2021 03:30 PM PDT I have been following the recommended routine for about a week and just realized that there is a skill day instead of rest days. I tried it today and I can hold the wall handstand for over 30 seconds. When I tried to move to the free standing handstand I held one for about 10 seconds and was really excited but then realized after I filmed myself that I was in a terrible banana. I tried moving back to the wall but I filmed myself again and I am still terribly bent. How can I fix this? I push as much as I can through my shoulders and just can't get a straight body for some reason. I am a flexible 14 year old so I also don't think it is a mobility issue. Thank you for your advice [link] [comments] |
| How can you really enjoy your workouts? Posted: 12 May 2021 06:04 AM PDT I am doing the recommended routine and it isn't really very fun to do so I tend to get demotivated each time I try a new plan. Since the recommended routine is supposed to be one of the best for beginners, how can I enjoy it? I want to look forward to it every day but I just get a little annoyed each time I have to go downstairs for an hour to do it. I kind of like trying to learn how to handstand, like I should on skill day. Should I add some handstand work into normal days as well as skill days? Thanks! Edit:For some reason I cannot see some of the replies to this post, it says 10 replies but I can only see 7. If you have any suggestions on how to enjoy the workout or how to fix this problem please message me. [link] [comments] |
| Animal Walks, Primal Flow, and Full Workout Posted: 12 May 2021 11:23 AM PDT Animal Movements or Primal Flow is a type of movement that builds strength, flexibility, and overall coordination by doing simple bodyweight movements that are also fun.

| Can dumbbells replace a pull up bar? Posted: 12 May 2021 03:23 AM PDT I live in a rented apartment with relatively old doors. So I'm trying to find possible alternatives for a doorway pull up bar (standalone pull up bars are not an option because of space). I figured pairs of dumbbells might be something to think about in that case. I've read articles and watched videos where people would use them as a substitute for back workwouts (especially when traveling). Can anyone recommend this? Is it a sufficient replacement or would you still recommend going for the bar? [link] [comments] |
| Best workout tower for small spaces? Posted: 12 May 2021 09:29 AM PDT I was reading other posts about fitting workout towers in small spaces and found this one It has everything I need but I was wondering if there is anything that you could put away when not in use. Those other posts are 2-4 years old so I was wondering if there has been anything else that has come out that is even better for small spaces. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 May 2021 02:57 AM PDT I'm having a problem with my hollow body holds. I can hold the L-sit for over 10 seconds when tied and probably over 15-20 seconds when fresh. I can also do one toes to bar with no swing and perfect form. My problem here is that when I try doing hollow body holds, I can hold them for 5 to 10 seconds and then I feel the burn in my abs and I can't keep my lower back on the ground anymore. I would like some tips and know the cause of this problem. I want to reach 20 leg raises on the ground with a flat lower back so that I start training toes to bars seriously. I just need to know the cause of this problem and some tips to fix it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 May 2021 10:40 PM PDT Hi All, M:40, 5'9", 70kg here. I'm fairly new to bodyweight exercises and following the recommended workout and also the skill workout regime. I think I jumped the gun with dips, I only have rings with me, so instead of focusing on mastering support hold, I jumped into negative dips resulting in sharp / numbing feeling in left elbow near triceps. Now this is impacting whenever I do pushups especially with narrow grip or decline. I tried using elbow brace but it's not helping. Please let me know if there are any warmups or strengthening exercises which can help me overcome this problem. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| Looking for advices for my training plan Posted: 12 May 2021 02:20 AM PDT Hello, I'm seeking some advices on a routine I'd like to build. I'll provide some context before diving into the goals and the routine itself. For the context, I'm a 23yo guy who used to climb (boulder) 6-8h a week from 19 to 21yo. I combined this with some circuit training on climbing days with basic bw moves, pull ups and push ups mostly, as well as 3 running days per week and 1 light swimming day (that was my rest day). Then I got injured, and after that several personnal things happened but the result was that this schedule was no longuer an option. I was still able to at the very least run 1x and do some circuit training 3x per week. Fast forward to today, where because of covid climbing gyms are closed in my area but I can do more training. The main goal is to be in shape for obstacles run events such as Spartan race (this is why you'll see circuit training so much in the plan). Sub goals would be to get: the one arm pull up, a clean and consistant 10s handstand, 3s front lever, and sub 40 minutes 10km runs. And also I'd like to, if not improve, at least maintain my finger strengh for when climbing gyms opens again. So far this is what I came up with: - Monday : running + circuit training (pull ups, front lever, deadhangs on a hangboard) - Tuesday : handstand + circuit (push ups, dips) - Wednesday : same as monday - Thursday : same as tuesday - Friday : running + OAP and deadhang (not in circuit) - Saturday and sunday : rest and eventually some light things like slackline, hiking etc Also, the diet is on point and I stretch before going to bed Thanks for reading !

| Posted: 11 May 2021 10:00 PM PDT Hey guys. Just getting into bodyweight stuff as I don't have the drive or attention span for lifting weights. This seems to work better for me. Short version, my wrists don't touch when I do wall slide. Will they eventually touch if I just keep doing them? Or should I do some other stretching? Long version, I'm almost 31, 6' 2", and weigh 160 lbs. Always been skinny and developed a nice hunch when I was a kid. Past 7 or so years I've been intentionally pulling my shoulders back and holding my head up a bit to try to correct my posture, and it's definitely helped but now that I'm trying to actually gain some muscle and develop some strength I figured I may as well work on my posture through stretches/exercises. Been watching a lot of Hybrid Calisthenics and Calisthenic Movement on YouTube. Doing the wall slides on the floor doesn't make it any better. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 May 2021 06:38 PM PDT Inspired by this, starting at 1:30: https://youtu.be/jDOojVtEluY?t=90 Would it make sense to load a pull-up for "hybrid isometrics" (both overcoming and yielding, as I understand the phrase) by using a dip belt to add enough weight that when I jump up to a 90° elbow angle and pull as hard as I can I don't move? Seems like I could find the weight that barely moves and then add 5 pounds, giving me a goal to get the weight moving again. I will miss out on the dynamic lower part of the movement that's possible when pulling up until the feet are stopped by a horizontal band, as shown in the video, but seems like the added weight method is a little more trackable and easier to quantify and progress with, so maybe the trade-off is justified? How important is that lower dynamic movement anyway? Thanks! Edit: not actually jumping. I'm 6 foot five and using a doorway bar, so my elbow angle is not much more than 90° standing with my hands on the bar. It's really kind of just easing into it. [link] [comments] |
| questions about pull-bar ceiling Posted: 11 May 2021 01:43 PM PDT Hi, I have a pull-up bar which I would like to install on my ceiling. I am afraid that I will fall down when using it. How can I make it so that I don't fall down from using it? This is the one I have. [link] [comments] |
