| Is exercising supposed to hurt bones? Posted: 19 May 2021 03:29 AM PDT I've very recently started following YT exercise programs, and I've never really worked out before in my life. I like the exercises but a lot of them hurt really bad. Doing ab workouts on my back hurt my spine, but glute workouts where you lay on your stomach and raise your legs hurt even worse. I work out on a yoga mat that's on top of a rug so it's not that hard of a surface. Sometimes I'll add even more padding under me but that makes it hard to do the moves properly. It's gotten so bad that in the spots where my hip bones show there is bruising. Is it normal for this to happen and am I supposed to just soldier through? It really sucks since those moves are a big part of the workout videos that I follow. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2021 11:00 AM PDT Hey everyone, I started my calisthenics journey almost 7 months ago. In that time, I have progressed more then I could ever imagine. Today while training, I managed to do a muscle up from the front lever position! I truly did not think I was capable of this and I'm just really excited and proud of myself! Since none of my friends care about calisthenics maybe some of you guys will enjoy and hopefully be inspired! Hard work and consistency really does pay off! [link] [comments] |
| What pullup position is easiest on the elbows? Posted: 19 May 2021 03:42 AM PDT I used to do pullups with my elbows in front of me and a shoulder width grip, this really strained my elbows, no matter how much i tried to "tuck" them next to my core. (like this: https://www.climbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/trainingperfectpullupsjpg.jpg) I just tried some wider grip pullups with my elbows basically in line with my body (like this: https://www.muscleandfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/pullup-1-1109.jpg?quality=86&strip=all) and I feel a lot less strain on my elbows and feel like my back is doing more of the work. I'm confused about this now because I read a bunch of stuff saying that shoulder width grip with elbows in front/tucked is easier on the elbows, this doesn't seem to be the case in my experience. I guess the wider grip causing less strain makes some sense as the load is distributed more evenly, with the elbows in front as in the first example all the weight is on one side, while in the 2nd position the weight is in the middle being supported from both sides. Your thoughts/experiences? BTW: I'm only talking about strict pullups here, no chinups, neutral grip pullups etc... [link] [comments] |
| help in increasing one rep max pull up Posted: 19 May 2021 09:13 AM PDT I weight 72 kg and I can pull up 35 kg for 1 rep (chin over the bar without crazy neck stretches), maybe I can 37 kg one rep max. I need to increase at least to 40 kg but seems like my body doesn't respond to strenght training. For one month, I did 3 reps for 4 sets of pull ups with additional 20kg as weight (80% of my max) for 2 - 3 times a week. I also spent days climbing so I was not super precise in training routine. I tested now, and I'm exactly where I started. Bringing the chin over the bar with additional 40kg seems impossible. I read about people following this training and being able to increase their one rep max at 40kg (starting from 35 like me) after just 2 weeks. I'm sad. Should I continue like this?

| Optimal Allocation of time for various training routines throughout the week Posted: 19 May 2021 11:53 AM PDT Sorry, if this is basic. All right, every BWF-er seems to do these, (as so I hope to) BWT for obvious reasons, Cardio for LT health/endurance. I got it all right? the four horsemen for fitness. Please, I am in dire need for input, open for strictly 3/3.5 BWF per week, this is the standard. Alright, Cardio is something that is paired up on BWF work days, so it falls into place. (you may suggest otherwise in your proposal of optimum gains), so far so good. This is where till which I've got it figured all out. Flexibility/Skill: this happens on every day that is not a BWF&&Cardio day, right? Now, how many days do I go to gym to train legs? do they fall onto the same days as BWF or do they alternate? Can Flex be done on the same day as Weight lifting, or does it need an exclusive day? Can you guys layout the plan you've been doing? Because there is SO much to do, but so little time, half my problems would be solved if a week had an even number of days. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2021 10:38 AM PDT Ok so I've heard a lot of back and forth on reps and sets vs circuit style calisthenics and I need some help on which is better to reach my goals. Im 5'10 about 160 im pretty overall skinny however I do have more bellyfat than the average "skinny" person. Im planning on doing a 3 day full body routine that consists of 6-15 reps for about 4 sets. Is this effective? Im also working out at home with a 40lb vest and a pull up bar. I do pushup variations, chinups, dips off my bed with the vest on and single leg assisted squats. Is this type of training routine effective or do i need to do circuit style [link] [comments] |
| What do you think of BullyJuice workouts? Posted: 19 May 2021 09:59 AM PDT In the summer of 2020, I was working out with BullyJuice calisthenics videos like crazy. I did this the whole summer (6 days a week), but then around September, I started tapering off and stopped doing his videos. I remember feeling really good about myself at the time, in the sense that I was losing a bit of bellyfat, and gaining strength (went from 4 pushups to 25). However, my diet plan was wrong. I was eating very very little a day. Like one meal, with a long fast, and some snacks. I wasn't getting enough protein either. Overall, I did not have a lot of energy. With all the work I was putting in I thought I would see muscular gains a little quicker, and this is probably because of my diet. I was focused on getting a lean, toned, 6-pack physique..but the strategy I used was clearly not sustainable. I'm detailing all of this to you, because about a month ago BullyJuice posted his 45-day challenge which I am thinking about doing. I don't know if his workouts are sustainable as well, because they are so intense. What do you think of BullyJuice, and his calisthenics videos? Is doing his videos sustainable long-term?

| Proper way/form to translate to RTO PU from normal PU Posted: 19 May 2021 09:05 AM PDT Hello together, I started BWF some time ago and currently I progress towards more advanced exercises after following the RR for quite some time and reading Overcoming Gravity. Currently, I can do 3x20 Ring PU with a solid form in my opinion (see the video), so I decided to progress towards RTO push ups. I can do the RTO support hold in a dip position for 30+ seconds (see video) and in a push up position as well. Now I wonder how to get the RTO push ups. I tried it out today with a friend and the results can be seen in the video. My first question is what is generally referred as RTO push up? I saw a lot of Youtube videos claiming an RTO push up as rotating the hands out in the upwards movement (which is what I tried to in the video). However in OG the RTO push up is a full RTO push up, which I can't do even one. So I guess I need to work to 3x15-20 with the RTO upwards turning and then progressing towards real RTO push ups? Now coming to my form questions. As you can see I tried to turn the rings out when going upwards. However, I am not able to turn the rings fully out (90 degrees). Am I doing something wrong (like not leaning enough forward) or am I just not strong enough? Furthermore, how would you progress? Would you try to do only 4-5 with "perfect" form (as perfect as it is in the beginning) or more like 10-15 with decreasing degrees of turning the rings out? Anyway if you see any more flaws in my technique please let me know. Really appreciate it. Thank you for your help and have a nice day Video of my Form: https://youtu.be/0oYzAN3THvY [link] [comments] |
| Question about ring and bar pullups Posted: 18 May 2021 07:54 PM PDT Hi everyone, I have been working out with a pair of gymnastic rings for the past few months and have made good progress so far. Now I have a question about pullups, is it normal if I could do less pull ups on the rings than on the bar? I've read from several sources that any movements below the rings are similar to those on the bars, but for some reason I find ring pullups to be much harder than bar pullups (e.g. slower eccentric on rings is required). I don't understand, how are they similar in difficulty? [link] [comments] |
| My lower back hurts!!! Need help. Posted: 19 May 2021 08:17 AM PDT Hi there, I have been doing a beginners bodyweight exercises for almost a month now, following a youtuber. I find it really hard to do even more than 10 pushups at one go. It is not new tbh, I used to do bodyweight exercise when i was in junior college (equivalent to 11th and 12 th std), but it was very minimal, to be specific 7 min of workout 3 to 4 times a week, I used an app called 7 min workout. Even then I had the same issue. My lower back aches when I try to do more than 10 pushups at once. it pains even when i try to bodyweight movement exercises, for eg: russian twist for abs. If you have any exercise or tips on how to strengthen lower back with simple exercises. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Can I get some opinion on my training routine? Posted: 19 May 2021 05:08 AM PDT Hi folks! I'm a M, 25, about 70 kg, 172 cm, and I've been doing bodyweight training for the last three months or so and I would like to know if it's unbalanced or if there is anything I should correct or change. I don't own rings or resistance bands. Thanks in advance! I train 3x a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday), as it goes: Warm-up First pair Side squats (2x30 on each leg) Hanging leg raises (4x10) Second pair (4x) Wide grip pull-ups (7-7-7-6 on a good day) Spiderman push-ups (12) Third pair (4x) Dips (8) Body rows (10 on a good day) [link] [comments] |
| I’m thinking of greasing the groove for front/back lever. Do you have tips/experiences? Posted: 18 May 2021 01:25 PM PDT For anyone new, "Grease the Groove" means training an exercise by doing many low rep sets spread out over your day. You stay far away from failure and try to never fatigue, but you do end up doing lots of reps, which makes it perfect for mastering basic movements. So I have used the "greasing the groove" method a little bit in the past for push-ups and in the past months I discovered that I also really like to use it for physical therapy and stability exercises. These are exercises I don't really get excited about and I don't like spending lots of time and energy in my training sessions on them, so doing some reps every now and then is perfect. However, I moved to a new house last week and one of my new housemates has hung a pull-up bar in the doorframe of the bathroom, so now I have the perfect place to grease the groove on things like front lever, back lever, L-sit chin-ups, and all sorts of exercises on a bar where you don't need lots of vertical space. I have been experimenting with the front lever and back lever in my training for a couple of weeks now and I think this might be a good opportunity. My main focus is bent-arm strength as I am 2.03m and 98kg, but I would love to get better at straight arm skills as well. Is greasing the groove on the levers a good idea? If so, should I train statics or dynamics? Does any of you have experience with this? I would love it if this was something I do daily while still being able to perform well in my training sessions. I'd love some input from you guys. [link] [comments] |
| bit of a dillemma on how to approach working out Posted: 18 May 2021 02:19 PM PDT I'm a sophomore in HS and due to the ever lasting stress of school i have put on quit a few pounds of weight in fat. I'm 5 foot 9 and 179 pounds and i have a standard sized frame that a person would expect in a 15 year old. I've been looking into getting back into working out but i have a few issues i want to iron out that i think are my main problems when it comes to weight gain.
