| How can I lose this last bit of fat and just have a flat body? Posted: 14 May 2021 08:36 PM PDT Hey all, new here and thought this would be the right place to ask. I (21 M) recently went from 200 lbs to 145 lbs from intermittent fasting. I'm a lot slimmer now and my overall frame is small, but I still have fat on my stomach and chest region (kinda look like small man boobs). I eat fairly decent meals with mainly only two bad meals a week now and I don't really put on weight nor lose it. My question is how can I just flatten all the way out? I don't really care to have a muscular toned body. I wouldn't mind it but I just want my body to sit nicely. Any and all advice would be appreciated! Edit: Forgot to mention that I do run occasionally. I use to lift weights as well but saw little to no difference after a few months [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 May 2021 06:59 AM PDT I decided to do negative pull-ups since my normal pullups werent progressing, i was stuck on 3-4x8 for at least 6 months. But I was surprised to find that I find the negatives much harder to do. I did a jump to the top pull-up position and then lowering myself in 10sec. I could only do 3x6 and today Im sore as hell. Im also feeling my upperback muscles much more than I normally do with the regular versions. Does that mean my form was off when doing normal pullups? I always made sure i wasnt kipping and kept my core tight. But I must admit I never felt much in my upperback, always primarly my lats. Have others also encounter this problem? [link] [comments] |
| Questions: RR without legs? Thenx? Routines? Posted: 15 May 2021 11:48 AM PDT So I've been trying to get into calisthenics as an addition to my physiotherapy. I tore my meniscus a couple months ago and got it surgically stitched and will be rehabilitating for a couple months more. For that I train legs 3 times a week; both strength and mobility. On the other 2 days that I would like to workout, I want to do BWF. I'm not supposed to split RR, and taking out the leg exercises makes RR even more boring than it already was. No offense, but it feels linear, especially when you're not able to do many reps of e.g. pull ups. To follow that up: I've been thinking of getting into either Thenx or Heria Pro (idk what the difference is), as I have heard that it's not as "boring" or linear as RR. Also, I'm absolutely terrible at making my routine and I feel so damn clueless on what to do all the time, even with the RR (doesn't help that I have to split it for legs). Those apps seem like an answer for that, because they make the routine for you, right? What are your suggestions? When it comes to facilities, I'm quite set: I have a small calisthenics park in my city (Leiden, hit me up if you wanna help me out IRL). So if you feel like answering my questions: I have all the important bars there; row, pull up, rings, parallels, etc. When it comes to goals, I do have them. I just want to get into a good shape for football (European that is), so well rounded; not jacked, just strong and lean. I know this is quite hard to figure out, but I hope you guys understand me well enough to help me out. [link] [comments] |
| what do you think of my workout routine? Posted: 15 May 2021 06:54 AM PDT so here it is: warmup push ups as many reps as possible squats as many reps as possible sit ups as many reps as possible push ups tabata burpees as many reps as possible lunges as many reps as possible plyometric push ups as many reps as possible bicycle crunches as many reps as i can box jumps as many reps as i can pull ups as many reps as possible decline push ups 40 seconds power set with diamond push ups 60 seconds l sit max time power set with planks max time jump lunges 50 seconds power set with jump squats max reps burpees max reps power set with mountain climbers max reps 150 punches in less than a minute 40 kicks in less than a minute and then i do some skipping rope for a few minutes, so what do you guys think?

| For a beginner: Nordic curls or bulgarian split squats? Posted: 15 May 2021 03:48 AM PDT I'm a beginner in body weight fitness. However, I have naturally very big legs (muscles) and did some powerlifting a couple of years ago. For my legs, I am currently only doing bulgarian split squats and flute bridges. Should I change the squats to Nordic curls or is it better the it is? Or do both? I want to prioritize my upper body since it's rather weak! I'm doing a 3 times per week routine which is basically the primer but I've removed the bird dog and am doing the abs bicycle instead. My routine: 5 sets deadbugs (close to failure) Inverted rows 7 x 3 currently, aiming for 8x 3 next week Inclined push ups 8 x 3 with shoulder extension at the Bulgarian split squats 5 x 3 Glute bridges 8 x 3 super set with triceps isolation exercise 10 x 3 (with rubber band) Abs bicycle 3 sets to failure, super set with biceps curls (10x3 but aiming for failure, with rubber band) [link] [comments] |
| Help me find the right program 16(m) Posted: 15 May 2021 11:54 AM PDT So for the past months i was in ok shape and I weighed about 77kgs. I was swimming 3 times a week for 2h. Then lockdown happened and I must be around 81-82kg and kind of skinny-fat. I know the RR is complete but I'm someone who lacks commitment so I feel like I would stop doing it if it was 3x a week, I would prefer something maybe daily so I stay committed to it. I also am away from home right now so I don't have equipment. I like the idea of a 30 day challenge like 100 pushups a day but I'm not strong enough to do that. I could maybe do 50 in a day and my form wouldn't be great. Would you suggest I amend it by doing 100 knee pushups. Or a different routine I could do that you know would be great. I basically just need something to prove commitment and have a bit of result to motivate me to do it properly. I appreciate any advice so thanks for your time. [link] [comments] |
| I need to lose weight in less than a year Posted: 15 May 2021 03:30 AM PDT Hello everyone, I am a (M 26) 186 cm (6.1 ft) tall and 120 kg (265 lb),am pretty big guy and have wide shoulders. I am about to get married and I'm starting to lose weight from this month, I decided to go to gym with a low carb diet, my question is, is it possible to lose weight to fit my height in less than a year ? am also afraid that because of my lose soft skin I might get saggy man boobs or saggy belly , will muscle help my body be more tight? Also what type of training suits this target if i say that i don't need to be really muscular i just need to be bulky? Thank you in advance Edit: Im so grateful for this amazing subreddit , thank you all [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 May 2021 05:58 AM PDT I've been having problems with my pullups since forever. I started calisthenics 5 months ago, and when I first started I couldn't do pushups but could do like a pullup with the worse form you can ever imagine. Now I can rep pushups like they're nothing and I even have the advanced tuck planche for 5-10 seconds with perfect form. I started training pullups like 3 months ago though because I didn't have a pullup bar in my house and the parks were so far away. So now I have a pullup bar in my house but my problem is that in these 3 months the improvement in my pullups were so slow and unnoticeable and my planche progression was going better than my pullup even though I started the pullup 1 month before the planche. I also face a problem when retracting my scapula, I feel it so hard to pullup with both hands when retracting then pulling, instead my body automatically makes one hand get out of the retracting position then the other one following it. I'm really losing motivation and I always had a dream of hitting 20+ pullups. Whats even more annoying is that I can do lat pulldown with more than half of the plates for reps easily. I'm 15 185cm 65kg if that helps. My max pullups are 8. [link] [comments] |
| Two questions about daily workouts Posted: 15 May 2021 03:20 AM PDT I have tried following the RR (old and new) multiple times, but I can't get used to it for whatever reason. Now it's probably not wise to create an own version because of my inexperience, but for me it is choosing between my own workout, or not working out at all. I would be doing beginner variations of these workouts (such as wall pushups). The weekly setup is as follows: Monday: pushups + planks Tuesday: pullups + planks Wednesday: squats + lunges Repeated for thursday, friday and saturday. Sunday rest day. My two questions are:
Much appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| How important is intensity and the duration of the workout Posted: 15 May 2021 12:01 AM PDT Ok, the thing is that i'm in quite a depressive state due to personal issues and i cannot commit to a full continuous workout. I work from home so instead of doing "a workout" I just lift weights and do pullups/pushups whenever I feel capable multiple times a day. I do about 10 sets of 10 reps on a exercise of which i do 3, all on different muscle group. I do not have rest days so in 7 days i do about 25-30 sets per muscle. It's obviously more benefitial than doing nothing. Is there a study comparing volume and intensity. Also I'm absolute newbie so i'm definately making some proggress. [link] [comments] |
| Workout recommendation for mix of PPL lifting and bodyweight exercises Posted: 14 May 2021 04:04 PM PDT I have a home gym where I do a PPL routine, but I'm only home about half the week, so I don't have access often enough to work out consistently. I've never done a bodyweight routine before. Can anyone recommend a bodyweight routine I could follow 3-4 days a week, while the remaining days are spent weightlifting? I have a doorframe pull up bar I can use for the bodyweight routine, but it's a little small and I have long arms so I can't really do full overhand pullups on it. I can do chinups and neutral grip pullups on it, and it can be flipped over to do some shallow dips, if that's worth doing. [link] [comments] |
| Back is weak so I can't do full pull ups without pulling mostly with my forearms and biceps Posted: 14 May 2021 02:49 PM PDT I want to get a strong back and I have other exercises for my forearms and biceps. After some practice I think I found out how to more specifically target my back with pull ups. The problem is I can only do half pull ups if I'm pulling with my back but if I start pulling hard with my forearms and biceps I can do complete pull ups and more of them. So, to progress my back more should I be doing the only half pull ups while pulling more with my back or should I be doing full pull ups but pulling more with forearms/biceps? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 May 2021 03:40 PM PDT Hello! I've recently been having trouble doing my push-ups. I was able to do 3x12 and moved on to diamond push-ups. After some time, my diamond push-ups went from 3x6 to barely 3x4. I went back to normal push-ups, and have only been able to do 3x6 of these. I'm suspecting that my form has gotten better, as I'm focused on squeezing my shoulder blades together, but is this form improvement enough to decrease my push-ups by half? I'm worried that I suddenly got weaker for some reason even though I've been working out fairly consistently. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
