| For the first time I didn't care that people were watching me workout Posted: 12 May 2021 07:54 PM PDT I have always worked out either in my room or basement and never outside. I am an introverted person and caring about other peoples opinions has affected my relationship with others and my confidence. However, for the first time in my life, I trained with gymnastic rings on a path way that people walk on and completed a workout. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm perfect but proud of myself for not just the physical aspect of working out but the mental. I even talked myself out of not working out outside because I was worried that I would look stupid but had no choice but to do it outside as everyone in my house was sleeping. To anyone who is worried about the awkward gazes people give you or the mom telling her kid to come to her when you're doing pull ups at the park, try using headphones and music those really helped me a lot and at the end of the day no one will remember the guy working out. I promise no one really cares unless they're genuinely interested in calisthenics too. And people are probably just curious too as to what you're doing especially using rings on a tree. EDIT: Thank you for the all the support! I didn't expect this amount of upvotes! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 07:11 AM PDT So this might sound stupid, but please help me out. I'm 5'6'' and 65kg, although my weight is good my arms and legs are weak (can't do more than 5 pushups). The thing is I'm not properly able to digest any meat products they cause me gastric problems, and protein supplements cost me as much as my house rent (am not very rich). For what I eat (eggs, milk and other stuff) I get about 50g of protein daily. So should I even exercise to begin with cuz I've read many times that exercising with a lack of protein can lead to negative effects like muscle loss or in general is bad for you. Thanks for help :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 10:31 AM PDT Hey BWF. The short version is; I'm looking to add a shoulder day to my BWF routine and would appreciate any pointers you might be able to offer. Here's the longer version with context. I've been doing BWF workouts for about 18 months (with an extended break in the middle when my son was born), mostly on Gymnastics rings, with a bit of EZ curl thrown in for variety - I've had great results so far, moving on from messing around in the beginning I've landed into a routine that I use currently that works great for me, it looks like this: Day 1: Pulling Day (in brackets putting my most recent numbers)
Day 2: Pushing Day
Day 3: Legs / The Not Really A Rest Day
Day 4: Repeat of Pulling Day Day 5: Repeat of Pushing Day Day 6 & Day 7: Rest, or maybe go for a swim... So my question is; if I wanted to add in a shoulder day, or say, a shoulder exercise into one of the existing days, how would I fit that in? What exercises would be best? Thanks in advance!

| How much easier are advanced bodyweight exercises for shorter people? Posted: 13 May 2021 04:08 AM PDT Hello, long-time lurker here with a question! I know shorter and lighter people have it easier with bodyweight exercises, but by how much is it exactly? Most people here (and in calisthenics in general) seem to be significantly taller and heavier than I am (4'11, 105 lbs, F) so it's been hard to find anecdotal information on what progress looks like for people with stats similar to mine (and for women in general as well). My (unfortunately) short limbs have meant that I've been able to achieve stuff like weighted pull ups, L-sit, OAPU and dragon flags relatively quickly so far, but now my newest goals are to achieve the planche and front lever someday! I'd love to know what a realistic timeframe may look like for someone shorter and lighter when it comes to advanced exercises like this. Thank you for reading - stay hydrated and have a good day!

| How to speed up recovery from a rotor cuff tear? Posted: 13 May 2021 06:41 AM PDT Hey everyone, I've tried to look for some general advice on injury recovery but it's hard to be 100% sure I'm not doing anything wrong. It seems like I (m,30) tore my rotator cuff again (had an MRT done a few years ago and thought it healed, but seems like I went too far on handstands too quickly now) and basically can't lift my arm higher than 90°. I'm not asking for medical advice, already have an appointment with an expert on Monday. But until then, I'm trying to figure out a few things: Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 12:14 PM PDT What should i do my weight is bellow avarage i weight about 58 kilograms (128 pounds) at the age of 16 and 9 months and the height of 172cm (5ft8). I have a little belly fat compared to my thiny arms and legs and i feel like my muscle mass is so low. I can t go the the gym either and im eating regulary daily but im still underweight from age of 13 after i lost weight i was overweight when i was younger. I m not physicaly active neither. Give me some tips this is one of my biggest insecurities please! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 May 2021 02:55 PM PDT First off I hope this could be the right place to send this, if it isn't, please let me know where might be a better place. :) thanks for reading I'm (20F) wanting to become healthier, gain a healthier relationship with my body, and work to mold myself into someone I am proud of. My whole teen years until now I have struggled immensely with severe anxiety and depression, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, the list continues. I dropped out of high school, and began community college which I never finished. I find myself starting in on a regimen, gym, etc. But it'll only last for about a week or a few days and I'll give up again and settle with where I am now because it's too hard; and nobody's pushing me to but me. And I give up too easy lol... How do you start a good relationship with your body? How do you start a routine and stick with it? What would be the first step to finding good food that is nutritional, but doesn't trigger any issues? I need a gym buddy, and want people to hang out with and motivate me, however anxiety makes that extremely tough as well. I've never really had friends other than online (same with relationships) I get extremely nervous during face to face conversations, or being in a public place in general. Let alone a GYM. Anyhow, this all just may sound absurd. I just don't know where to go, who to ask, and what to do. Thanks ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Help and opinions on my workout routine Posted: 13 May 2021 11:47 AM PDT Height 183cm Weight 71kg My home workout routine: 1. 5 sets of pullups (41 reps in total currently) 2. 5 sets of dips (40 reps in total currently) 3. 15 reps of biceps curls (10kg dumbells) 4. 15 reps of dumbell shoulder presses (10kg dumbells) 5. 10 reps of biceps curls (10kg dumbells) 6. 10 reps of dumbell shoulder presses (10kg dumbells) 7. 10 reps of chinups I consume 77grams of whey protein after the workout and on the rest day. I workout with this routine once a day for 2 days and then i have 1 rest day. Is it bad that I workout the same muscles with the same workouts for 2 days and have one rest day after that? Would it be better to workout 1 day and have 1 rest day after? If you have a better routine or any advice please reply. [link] [comments] |
| Do you have a workout finishers? If so what is it? Posted: 13 May 2021 09:57 AM PDT I have my usual routine where I do a full body workout that lasts between 90 and 120 minutes 4 times a week. I then rest for 15 minutes do some stretching and then go straight into my finisher. I really love Jordan Yeohs youtube channel and his HIIT routine. They are great calorie burners and focus mostly on cardio. The one I typically use as a finisher is actually what he considers his most difficult routine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9myZjT8POE) The changes I make to this are the up and own jacks at the start I turn into bodybuilders, I gently jog in place instead of rest and take no break between the rounds. This really ups the cardio intensity and finishes off the day burning a good 600 or so calories. How do you guys like to finish workouts? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 08:59 AM PDT Over the course of year I have improved my pressups while completing them with as perfect form as possible for the close-arm style variation I'm replicating: hand placement below shoulders, feet and knees together, elbows tucked close to sides, chest tennis ball distance from floor on each rep. I had been achieving 45-46 reps of pressups to a pacer beep which helped to remove momentum on the exercise, I was definitely pushing out more of them every two or three weeks. The progression completely stopped all of a sudden and the reps only went down at one random point and it literally went 40 reps, 35, down to 31, up to 35, now can't get passed 29 of them. Tried applying different chest/tri exercises on the rings like bulgarian dips, ring pressups. Tried Greasing the Groove but don't really know how long this program should be done for before conducting a 'test' for a PR. Feel like I'm trying everything now and I'm positive there has to be a problem, if anyone has knowledge about what sort of problem this could be please let me know because this is fucking saddening. Diet, sleep etc is totally fine and hasn't changed [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 08:39 AM PDT Hey guys I'm just wondering what everyone does for a split these days. I've currently switched from a PPL to a U/L because I felt shoulders weren't getting enough recovery on a PPL. Right now im on 5 days a week and my plan is as listed, Day 1 UPPER- military press, chin ups, neutral grip shoulder press, one arm rows, face pulls Day 2 LEGS/CORE- goblet squats, split squats and core, (I still have a lower back injury and knee injury so that's why I switched to different squats variations) Day 3- UPPER- hand release push ups, dips, banded pull apart, incline curls, hammer curls, rope push down Day Rest Day 5- same as Day 1 Day 6- same as Day 2 Day 7- rest As you all can tell this is a shoulder foccused split the reason why I chose these excersizes is I believe this is a very efficient way to build overall strength. Bench press is overrated IMO. (I believe all around strong shoulders and core are essential). Everyone emphasizes chest but bench pressing is not for me as I have tight pecs and only notice shoulder issues when performing bench press. Thoughts on what I could change to make it better?? Any suggestions??? [link] [comments] |
| How much can be achieved naturally? Posted: 13 May 2021 08:38 AM PDT Given good genetics, how much would you say could be achieved for a calisthenics or gymnastics athlete, naturally? With IG and social media nowadays, it's very difficult to know who's natty and who's juicing. For someone of average height (5'7"-6') and weight (150lbs-200lbs) with good genetics, what do you think an individual could accomplish? Full planche press? Maltese? Zanetti/Van Gelder? Manna? Reps of full range of motion freestanding deep handstand push ups? Butterfly mounts? Are these advanced skills doable for a natural athlete at this height? What do you think is the limit for a natural bodyweight athlete and do you think people often shoot their standards far too low and are far underestimate what they can accomplish because they give the excuse of "oh well, that guy must be on PEDS if he's better than me". I'm just curious of your answers. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 02:13 AM PDT 18,male I have just started to exercise more and here is what I do; 70+ wall push ups. Im too weak to do anything more challenging yet, and I do about 10,then take a 30 second break,and repeat. 5 times a week. Is that right? like this video; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pXmIpOp9w0s&t=206s 200 lunges. I do about 10 on each leg,and then 45 second break,repeat. Every other day. I also notice my balance is kinda bad,so i might struggle a bit. Every other day. 100+ situps,10 and then 30s break and repeat. Every other day. Go for a jog every day. Jog for one minute,and then walk 5 mins. Then jog again 1min, and repeat. Do this for 30 mins. And eventually start jogging for 2 mins,then walk for 4min. And get a bit more challenging slowly. Which means in total I get like 1 hour of exercise... Seems like I still spend most of my time laying down or sitting. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 May 2021 02:49 AM PDT I have a very burpee heavy focused routine. Typically 4 X per week a burpee/ body weight routine and 1 X weights with deadlift and squat focus. The burpee workouts are fairly high reps 100 minimum up to around 300. With different varieties of burpee aswell. I hardly ever do running though and I wonder to what extent burpees are training my cardio and if I need to focus on it more? Am I just gaining muscular endurance or would I perform better in a run that before I was doing burpees? I am around 28 minutes for 5k so not a complete novice in running. [link] [comments] |
| Can I use the chicken wing muscle up to progress to a better form? Posted: 13 May 2021 05:58 AM PDT Today I did my first muscle up ever! Well it was with bad form but it still felt so great to do it after a long period of training up to it. I didnt even thought that I could do it but I just tried it to see if there was any chance. So I used the false grip and without much momentum I was already up there :D. This was truly a great moment and I was euphoric as hell. The form is not great though as I mentioned it is with the chicken wing method. But I feel like there is not much left to a normal one. So I wonder should I work with the chicken wing one till I can do a normal one or rather still focus on negative ones? Any tips would be appreciate it :D [link] [comments] |
| Looking for advice about program, to compensate closed gym Posted: 13 May 2021 01:57 AM PDT Hi, Im looking for body weight program (i can use pull-up bar, bands, 20kg KB and maybe weighted vest in future and track), cause my base dont provide gym now, thanks to covid. Im looking for a split training for about 5/6 days a week (pref.5) and I like to divide back/chest/leg in separate days. The length of training should be about 50-60 minutes, not including streatching/warm-up. My goal is to increase strength as much as it allows me, while getting some reasonable muscle gains (im not expeting miracles here) and rising my pull-up max, push-up max, sit-up in 1min max. Can somebody please recommend any good routine? It not a problem if it is payed program. [link] [comments] |
