| What kind of progress has been achieved by people who train consistently every single day? Posted: 21 May 2021 07:13 AM PDT By training daily, I don't mean a PPL split or any other kind of split routine. I mean training using a routine like the minimalist routine in the wiki. In these daily workouts, you don't exhaust your body so that you can't move the next day. What if you find a routine and a volume that doesn't exhaust you. Then you do that daily like any other daily habit. What kind of results or progress can you expect? Can you build muscle to be generally fit and healthy in that way? A sample routine may look like:
The sets and reps vary according to your capability. You start out super small as a beginner and gradually build your volume over time. But whatever be the volume you never fatigue your body either mentally or physically. You do your workout and then move on with the rest of your day like any other normal day. Has anyone trained like this? What results did you achieve? Kindly share. Edit:

| Posted: 21 May 2021 08:53 AM PDT Hi! I've seen a lot of people recommending to do negative or assisted pull ups if you aren't able to do a single one, which is my case. Well, I wasn't able to do a pushup as well, and I used the method of putting books under my chest to reduce the range of motion and be able to do a concentric movement. Can I also use a reduced range of motion to learn pull ups? I mean, currently I can hang on the bar, raise my body a little bit and then perform the negative portion. I just can't perform the full range of motion. Would this work as well as it worked with push-ups? I'm asking this because I was greasing the groove with negatives, but I started to feel something strange on my right elbow, some kind of pain, but not strong. So I started to do this concentric with reduced range, but I don't know if it's functional. Thanks for the attention. [link] [comments] |
| Nerve impingement affecting strength. Anyone experience the same? Posted: 21 May 2021 12:55 AM PDT Disclaimer: I'm not looking for medical advice, as I have been and still am consulting medical professionals. I am merely asking for people to share similar experiences. Hey all, I've (M, 29) been dealing with a pinched nerve on and off for the past 4-5 months or so. My main symptoms are a small but still noticeable loss of strength in my left arm during certain movements and a nagging type of pain in my neck (which isn't there all the time). I can do all rowing movements without any impairment and without any loss of strength. I feel the loss of strength the most when doing bench press or overhead press. I can press about 5kg less in my left arm when compared with my right arm. This loss of strength isn't always prevalent and there are times when I can press my normal weight with my left arm. Another movement where I can feel a loss of strength is dumbbell lunges. The dumbbell in my left hand gets heavier quicker than in my right hand and I can tell that it's not down to muscle fatigue. It's difficult to describe the sensation because it's not painful as such, it's rather a feeling of weakness. It runs down the outside of my arm and into my forearm. I have had an MRI of my cervical spine done and my cervical spine is completely fine. I've been to my orthopedic doctor a number of times and it doesn't come from my shoulder or my rotator cuff. I've been going to my physio once a week and she isn't sure what it could be and where exactly it comes from. She reckons it could be trigger points in my traps causing the symptoms directly or it could be trigger points impinging on the nerve. I will be visiting another physio in a couple of weeks time who will do an EMG to measure muscle activity, which will then in turn show if there's a nerve problem or not. Now one of the main culprits (what me and my physio think) is my posture. In my case I have a kyphotic spine, rounded shoulders and forward head posture. All of it is quite subtle and I'm wary of my posture but it's still there. This is a pretty common occurrence in the world of bodybuilding, so I'm wondering if anyone has been through something similar and would care to share their experience and their journey with me.

| Posted: 21 May 2021 10:00 AM PDT I recently bought a program from the YouTuber Browney. It's 3 days a week, with beginner bodyweight excersises. I have also been going to the gym for the past year, except when we were in lock down. Here in Denmark the gym opened again 2 weeks ago and it closed around half way through December last year. So my question is, would it be bad if I trained every day, went to the gym with my friends some days, and then the days I don't, I do the bodyweight programs? In the FAQ it said that you shouldn't train everyday if you want to be stronger or grow bigger muscle. But I'm not really sure yet, I want to get a bit of it all if that's possible. Edit: what about 5-6 days a week? [link] [comments] |
| [Survey] Exercising in Washington Parks during the Pandemic Posted: 20 May 2021 03:16 PM PDT Note: The survey has been closed. Thank you for your interest! Hi everyone! We are a group of students at the University of Washington conducting a research project on people's exercising experiences during the pandemic. Our goal is to suggest ways in which parks could better support your needs and safety. If you are over the age of 18 and exercise at parks in Washington, we'd like to learn more about your exercise activities, motivations to exercise, and other factors that may influence your comfort levels. *This survey will take 5-7 minutes to complete and we'd really appreciate your help! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFq639ASklMnF_FM7pLEoOodiJPs_bc7u6r-_pC2N_EDBgCQ/viewform [link] [comments] |
| Pull ups - not seeing muscle growth despite massive improvement in reps Posted: 20 May 2021 01:27 PM PDT So a few months ago I was only able to do max 7-8 pull up in a set. Decided to focus on pull up training and after 6 weeks I was able to do about 19 reps max. Now I can consistently crank out 16-20 reps per set. Although my reps increased massively, my back muscles still looks the same as when I was able to do 6 reps. I try my best to have good form: no kips, scapula retraction, full range of motion. I workout with the RR routine consistently and see visual improvement to my body, but the back still looks the same as before I started. Any tips of advice? [link] [comments] |
| Need help improving my routine Posted: 21 May 2021 02:10 AM PDT Hello fellow body weight fitnessers! I'm trying to get back in shape, but I need some help. Last year, due to personal reasons and the Covid, I lost all my motivation and stop sports. I used to be a marathon runner, and had some sort of body weight routine (Lafay). As of today, I gained almost 10kg, and lost most of my muscular mass. Now, I'm trying to get back in shape, and here is my routine:
And I do either one or the other everyday. With it, I try to run 30mins to 1hour 3 a week. But with all it, I haven't made any progress. Is my routine any good ? I don't have the physical strength to do the same training as before, and I don't know what I could change to get better. Thanks for the help ! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 May 2021 12:41 AM PDT So I don't know what this would be called or if it's even a thing, but I just got done watching King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword and there's a scene where Charlie Hunnam is essentially doing uppercuts as fast as he can. Thought it was curious so I tried it out and if nothing else it's a decent cardio exercise. Just wondering if that has an actual name or if it's even a thing. Can't find anything on Google, but it kept most of my upper body under tension, but I don't know if it would be effective for anything. I'm fairly new to working out and not trying to reinvent the wheel, just curious. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 08:23 PM PDT Hi, I've been doing the RR routine for about 8 months now. I took about a 1.5 week hiatus at around the 4 month mark, and I've been pretty motivated throughout with a couple of bumps. However, lately, in the last week or so, I've been losing a ton of motivation. My numbers have plateaued over the last few weeks and I've been finding it hard to get up and start working out. How do I regain my motivation? Also, its worth mentioning that I haven't been specifically keeping track of my progress, but I know I should. I've made quit a bit of progress, but can someone suggest a way for me to track progress? [link] [comments] |
| I want to lose some weight... But it's so damn hard! Posted: 20 May 2021 01:57 PM PDT Okay, let me be clear. I am a calisthenics athlete and I consider myself relatively good. I can perform planche, front lever, oapu, iron cross etc etc. HOWEVER, i have come to the conclusion that when I lose a few pounds i can hold those moves for like double the time. Also, i am going to reach my aesthetic goals if i manage to pull this off. I really want to lose some weight but i CAN'T. I do cardio and of course i workout daily. I eat junky food every once in a week. I hope there are people here that know more about this subject so i am asking for your help and knowledge. I am 5.7 ft (1.75cm) and 154 lbs (70kg). I Appreciate your help in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 02:56 PM PDT So I've been considering labor based jobs and plan to start working in about 3 weeks. I'm pretty out of shape and I know my first few weeks are going to be hell, theres no way around that and I know it. I do however want to get a bit stronger before I start to avoid injuries. I'm thinking bodyweight fitness is the way to go and it's easier on joints and smaller muscle groups that help with balance. My questions are ...

| General Calisthenics Skills Program Posted: 20 May 2021 12:55 PM PDT Hello. I am fairly new to Calisthenics and Im trying to see what are some general approach to creating a calisthenics program. To me the goal in calisthenics is to attain specific skills such as planche, front lever, L-sit, etc. So I have been structuring each workout around these specific skills. My sequence of each workout:
Each workout varies a bit, this is just a general structure that Ive found myself to go towards. I do each workout more or less once a week since there are 5 skills that I am aiming for, and each one takes one whole workout session. How does structure look? Can anyone provide me any advice, what youve found to be useful, and not useful? I would appreciate your inputs. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 May 2021 04:40 PM PDT I have been training with the gymnastic rings for a while. I think i have a 60kg ring dip and 60kg ring pull up. I did 2 reps with 57,5kg in dips and pull ups. I am thinking of really pushing the numbers in these two lifts. What do you guys think would be a good goal for these lifts? Something realistic, but still really good. I wanna get by the end of the year 70kg on the dip and the pull up. I am also curious how the ring dip is going to transfer into the bench press. Do you guys think a 70kg dip(my weight is 72kg) would transfer into a 140kg bench? With some bench training to get used to benching... [link] [comments] |
