| How to be content with being healthy and stop pursuing unrealistic physiques? Posted: 20 May 2021 05:21 AM PDT 23, Male. Because of constant exercising (lifting, boxing, hiking, etc.) I'm fit, above-average strong and overall healthy. However a part of me still desires shredded abs and a pair of big guns. This is honestly my main drive to work out, for I don't really enjoy the process, unlike other sports I do. Recently I've come to the realization that a lean and muscular physique wouldn't be sustainable for my lifestyle and preferences. To get there would require too much time, effort, and sacrifices from me. Not to mention the frustration and pressure this ideal body image brings me. How could I be happy with being simply in shape instead of worrying about not having the perfect physique? [link] [comments] |

| Trying to lose some fat but keep my muscle mass. How should I do it? Posted: 20 May 2021 05:45 AM PDT I've been doing calisthenics for about 1.5 years while bulking up and getting stronger. Now I finally got to a weight I'm happy with and I've gained a substantial amount of strength too! My bulking was quite clean but I still have gained some fat. Mostly around my lower abdomen. Now I want to lose some of that fat so my lower abs start showing, but I don't want to lose the muscle mass and strenght in the process. What should my diet be? I have been eating at a caloric surplus of 500, what should I do now? Will switching to a caloric deficit do what I aim for, or should I stay at my tdee? I will also keep doing my calisthenics routine which is a push and abs, and pull and legs split. Edit: Thanks to everyone who reacted and helped! I have found a video from jeff cavelier about losing fat and gaining muscle. I suggest everyone with the same goals as me to watch it and take notes! Some of the comments say basically the same thing as Jeff, big thanks to them! [link] [comments] |
| Exercises for obliques you can do on the bars Posted: 20 May 2021 10:59 AM PDT Hi guys, I wanted to share this video with you where you will find the best exercises for obliques. Description: In this video you will see the best oblique exercises you can do on the bars. These will help you to get ripped and strong obliques. The obliques are actually two muscles: internal obliques and external obliques. They are located on the sides of the abdominals (six-pack muscles) running from the hips to the rib cage. The internal obliques are located directly under the external obliques, and the muscle fibers travel perpendicular to each other. This video will show you how to train those oblique muscles in the calisthenics way and how to make them stronger then ever. Alongside with the regular ab exercises it will enable you to build rock solid core. You can choose 3 to 5 different variations, do 3 sets of each and you will have very solid workout. Here is the list of all exercises in this video:
Thanks once again for taking time to watch! Any feedback is highly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Recommended Routine: How to navigate downstream effects of barbell squats on barbell deadlifts Posted: 20 May 2021 09:09 AM PDT As I've added more weight to my squat in the 1st pair, I've started to notice more fatigue during the barbell deadlifts in the 2nd pair. I'm concerned about the consequences of entering my deadlift set already feeling fatigued. I'd love the advice of this community on the best way to continue progressing. Here are 3 choices I've considered, and what I see as the drawbacks of each of them:
The other option is to move to a different routine. However, I'm sure others have solved this problem within the structure of RR, so I'm hopeful that someone can point me in the right direction here. Thanks! context:

| Equipment for home gym (beginner) Posted: 20 May 2021 08:48 AM PDT Hi, been lurking on this subreddit, and i want to ask this amazing community a question. Gyms in my country are still closed, because of that i am trying to build home gym, but mostly i will try to do exercises with bodyweight. I will order this two things, pull up bar(like 50€) and push up stands (like 40€). First question is, do you think this prices are fair for this? Or should i get them cheaper? I am from Europe. Cant show products, since links are probably forbidden and dont want to get banned. Are there any other equipments that i should buy for beginning of my home body weight fitness journey? :) Thank you for all answers. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 10:38 AM PDT Week or two I asked about core exercises in park and there was a lot of good answers and help. Now I wonder following: 1. If I have rest day, would it be good for me to do some core exercises at home? I have sedentary work so I believe it would benefit but dont know if it is too much every day? 2. If point 1 is good idea, can I do it in couple of times or is it better to do it in, lets say, 3 series one after the other? I wouldnt do too much, just 1min hip bridge hold, one leg hip thrust 12 times each leg after the hold, 12x each leg dead bug and 8xhip up each side. If you have some better exercises to do at home with no equipment, feel free to share! Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Opinion: Here's my Calisthenics Workout Schedule Posted: 19 May 2021 07:01 PM PDT Hello, For a while now I have been trying to get into calisthenics but never made the time for it or even had the proper motivation for it. I am glad to say that now I am fully applying myself into body weight training, especially considering that I have found a park with a few of the calisthenics bars and such. However, as I am still a novice, I wanted to solidify my routine by having you guys' opinion. So I do this every morning before arriving to work, which is 30 minutes away from my house, by bike. This specific park actually is right in between my house and my work place so it takes me more or less 15 minutes to get there so it's very convenient. Workout Routine: - 15 minutes of biking (to get to the park) And I do this again 2 more times to equal 3 reps (beside the 10 minutes of jumping ropes and the biking.. which I end up doing 15 more minutes to get to work) Now, do you guys think this could get me somewhere? I already see some results 2 weeks in. I would love to have everyone's opinion. Furthermore, I repeat these same workouts everyday from Monday to Friday. Is this a good way to set up my calisthenics? Let me know! Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Finally trying to build some muscle Posted: 19 May 2021 06:40 PM PDT I'm going to start going to the gym on my college campus when the fall semester starts, since it's basically a gym membership I pay a few grand for and have ignored until now. However, I have basically only enough muscle to hold my skeleton up and walk around (5'10" 130 lbs). (Being self conscious about this is what kept me from going to the gym for years, so it was basically a self perpetuating cycle). Anyway, I decided to do body weight exercises while I'm at home over the summer to hopefully build a little bit of muscle so I'm not as embarrassed when I start hitting the gym. I've been at it for a couple weeks now and this sub is really helpful. Thanks guys and wish me luck haha [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2021 10:24 PM PDT Some basic information - Male. 6'2" ~225lbs. BMI ~28.6 Everyday I do the same arm workouts to hopefully tune and strengthen my arm muscles because I'm lacking severely in upper body strength. My legs are jacked from 7+ years of swimming and ~5 years of biking, but I have no arm strength, so everyday I use a 8-9kg stone and do a total of 60 lateral rises (30 on each arm), 60 vertical rises (30 each arm) and 60 bicep curls (again 30 each arm). All told its about 180 thingys of arm stuff. I've been at this for the past 5 days in a row and plan to continue doing this indefinitely and increasing the weight when necessary. I want to know if at this rate, will I see or feel a noticeable difference in muscle tone, strength, firmness(??)?. I don't know workout/fitness terms if that wasn't obvious enough... I'm very dumb when it comes to fitness stuff and don't know jack about it, I'm just doing whatever stresses my arms and feels like it might be a good arm workout. Over time I do intend to increase how many reps of [arm workout] per set and have that 180 total increase over time with heavier stones, but I'm a good ways away from doing that - y'know being weak and all. So what can I expect in a month's time after keeping up this routine for the next 25 days? I want to have my expectations to be realistic, I also have no clue what to expect so that's why I want y'all to tell me. Also, what fitness stuff do y'all recommend? I'm overweight, intermittent fasting 16-8, drinking 2-3L of water daily and want to be about 200lbs in 2-4 months. I'm not dead set on the weight thing, I just don't want to be weak and fat anymore, it's a real bummer and I have a strong motivation source at the moment so I'd love to use it as much as possible. Thanks in advance for any and all feedback. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2021 09:40 PM PDT Hi everyone! Back in the day, I worked out at a gym that had bandit(s) loops, which were essentially thick rope (2-3" dia) rings at about 12-18" diameter. I liked them better than traditional rings, and especially TRX, because I could quickly and easily get my feet in and out of them for plank exercises. I've looked all over the internet, and the only thing I can seem to find is some references to Art of Strength workouts and programs. Does anyone here know where I might be able to find some, or something similar? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2021 04:57 PM PDT Just wondering how this would play out. I've done some minimal research and I found some info that says powerlifting is probably the best route for putting on muscle in a short amount of time (things like bench press, deadlifting, and squatting). I haven't begun yet but I'd like to put on muscle and be lean. I listened to one of Greg Doucette's videos and in his opinion he says building muscle is the most difficult thing to do. Maybe I'm naive but isn't muscle just muscle? Does it matter how you get it? Is muscle built from calisthenics really all that different than muscle built from powerlifting? I recognize that if I started with calisthenics I'd probably be stronger in the beginning but I also recognize that it'd probably take a longer time to build muscle. I'm not denying that you can't build muscle with body weight, I'm just saying powerlifting is the faster vehicle to use to build muscle. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think this is a good idea for my goals? I hope I laid out my train of thought clearly. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 May 2021 07:04 PM PDT What is your FL progression, Hold time and hold with shoes vs without shoes? I am curious, ive heard that someone bridging on a progression say they have 8-9s half lay. can remove shoes, maybe get like 13s have a light progression and at 14s they have a 4-5s front lever with decent form. is removing your shoes signifigant, for those of us struggling to progress to a new variation would it make sense to remove your shoes, get decent at the new progression, then add your shoes back and build time later?
