| Is it possible to combine the minimalist routine with dumbbell workout? Posted: 30 Jun 2021 08:00 AM PDT Hi everyone, I am completely new in this workout world. I started this week the minimalist routine because my body is weak for now and this routine looks like a good start. My weight is 65kg and my height is 180cm. I wanted to ask if I can somehow combine this routine with some dumbbell workout because I have at home 1 pair of dumbbells 6kg each and I would like to use them. Is it possible or should I wait and do the minimalist routine for a while? If it is possible can I just follow some basic beginner dumbbell routine from reddit or do I have to choose more properly? Also one more question. Can I do the minimalist routine and dumbbell workout the same day? If no how should I make a schedule? Thank you very much. I am sorry for being annoying. :) wish you all a very great day. [link] [comments] |
| Workout first thing in the morning? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 03:30 PM PDT Hey everyone, I started my journey about a month or so ago and I've noticed that my workout gets in the way. I don't have a ton of time on my hands to begin with which is why I got interested in doing bodyweight exercises at home. I enjoy working out but I hate how it affects my schedule. Been thinking about getting up earlier and just going through my routine first thing that way I get to do my workout and it doesn't affect the rest of my day. What are some of your thoughts on this? I think it would be good to workout first thing in the morning cause it would make me feel good before I get out and go to work, etc. But I'm also worried that working out on an empty stomach could be bad? Like would I have to eat a decent amount before I go to sleep? And then idk if I could eat a full breakfast after? Any recommendations or experience would be much appreciated, thanks all!

| I fell stagnated when it comes to chin-ups Posted: 30 Jun 2021 11:54 AM PDT Just to give u a frame of reference I'm 17 male weighting in 73.4 kg(definitely a bit chubby), 1.78m tall and I started to work out right as the pandemic began, around march 2020. Back than I was much bigger and could barely do a push up, chin up, dip and so on. I started to work using bodyweight exercises, I purchased a pull up bar to do chin ups and started to fallow a routine, I dropped to 67.5 around mid August and kept progressing. Now, June 2021 I went from 0 push-ups to 25, 0 dips(couldnt even do a simple negative) to about 10, 0 chin-ups(couldn't even do a simple negative again) to about 7 and that's my problem, I've been stuck with 7 chin-ups, which I was able to achieve around December last year, so 6 months stuck, what should I do? I'm happy with the rest especially my push-up, going from 0 to 25 with relative good strict form is really satisfying, here's my routine for the week: Monday; 12x6 normal push-ups 12x4 leg lifts Tuesday (leg day, my favourite); 12x4 squats with a backpack 8x2 squat jumps with a backpack Rest 8x3 split squats with a backpack 12x4 calf raises with the backpack Rest 10x3 lunges Max squats with no backpack(it varies a lot, kinda a super set) Wednesday; 12x3 chin-ups (complete with negatives, since I can only do 5-7) 30s pike push ups 30s one slow pike negative Rest 30s tap shoulder 30s shoulder chair hold Rest 30s pseudo-pushups 30s pseudo-pushups hold Rest 2 pike push ups and 4 lateral raises I work up to 5pike push ups and 10 lateral raises Thursday Leg day again, same thing Friday Some random back workout, been trying different ones to try to find a good one Weekend rest and sometimes cardio I also do cardio every here and there specially after leg day My main issue is the lack of progression with chin-ups, Im open to any form of advice on anything else I could improve Thanks for the help!

| Posted: 30 Jun 2021 10:29 AM PDT Guys, im trains at gym now. School coming back ( I'm from Brazil) and I'm without time to come to the park so I go to a gym in front my house. The problem is: the instructor of the gym are "bothering" me, he's don't know calisthenics at all and think I'm doing things wrong. His tell me to go warmup w running belt and I know it's better w dynamic strench. And I'm training Calisthenics, so I do explosive squats and sissy squat, and he's say that's random. By now I'm doing Back squats after the explosive squat but the instructors insist in says that I'm a total beginner ( train 2y by now) dude, what he's gonna say in my pull day?( pull ups lol) [link] [comments] |
| Looking for advice on a program with my light home gym Posted: 30 Jun 2021 10:25 AM PDT Hi, I just recently set up a small home gym (in my apartment), and weight are limited. Also it doesnt help that weights are hard to find, but I've managed to acquire a barbell and it maxes out around 120 lbs with all my weights. I also don't want to go much higher as I have a lot of other heavy stuff around my unit, and my wife is going to freak out. I've gone to the gym for a few years and lost a lot of my progress, but after recently moving out, I found that I had the space for a couple things and today I'm happy to have my own personal essentials. Barbell with flat bench, pullup/dip station, and adjustable dumbbells (25 each). It's an investment so I will save a lot by not having to pay for membership. I've stuck to the classic 5x5 for years, and hit pr's of bench of 225, squat 265, DL 295, before the gyms closed down. I'm 5"8 and 140~ lbs. Being that I'm limited on weights, 5x5 with max of 120ish is only going to get me so far. Do anyone have any recommendations for what to go for? I was thinking of doing 5x10s. As for body weight pullups, what should I aim for? I used to train by adding weights, but I think my station may be a bit unstable with it so I'm fine with just body weight. SHould I just stick to 5x5 for it? My main goal is body building and fitness Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Muscle mass increased, max reps gone down Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:06 PM PDT Hi, I started doing bodyweight exercises (push ups, pull ups, sit ups, squats) 8-9 months ago. With push ups, I started doing 10 sets of 20 push ups. After some time, I increased it to 25 push ups, then 30 and up to 40 (I decreased the number of sets, though). Later, since I was working from home, I decided to split my exercise routine throughout the day. I no longer did 6-8 sets of 40, I did 12-16 of 20. I've been doing this for about 6 months and I can clearly see the changes to my body (more muscle, higher weight even though I look leaner), but I don't feel any stronger. Also, yesterday I tried to do 40 push ups and it was impossible, I could BARELY do 30 and it was a fucking torture. Obviously, I'm an amateur at this and I didn't do proper research in the beginning. Right now I can't find an answer to this with a Google search as most results are concerning muscle building in general. My question is why have I gained muscle but became weaker? Or maybe not became weaker specifically, but then what is the explanation for this? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Need Opinion on Ring / Pullup Bar Tree Setup Posted: 30 Jun 2021 11:56 AM PDT So I'll be going on holiday somewhere I've been before where I brought my rings in hopes to hang them from a tree. The property I was on had no viable trees though so I had to travel a bit to find a suitable tree. My thought here is to get a pullup bar like this and hopefully find two trees close enough together to set up between. I wanted to get a second opinion on the idea as my concerns are that it might not be safe if it slips off the round tree or it strips bark and I fall when I put weight on it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2021 09:01 AM PDT Hi, been training for quite some time now (around 2 years) but honestly haven't made much progress despite how much I train or learn, there's always something off with my routines. I'm honestly a little lost and need some advice, I've been trying to do more pull ups and do muscle ups for a while, but my max fluctuates between 6 and 10 and I've only been able to do one kipping muscle up for a period of time and then losing it again. I've tried different routines (even adding weights) but I'm out of ideas and honestly, very frustrated and unmotivated by seeing other people achieve those goals far sooner. Any advice?

| Posted: 30 Jun 2021 01:15 AM PDT Not to long ago I did a crossfit competition as a cali athlete and we had to do this: 1mile run, 100 pull ups (butterfly pull ups), 200 pushups (strict), 300 squats (also strict) and finish with a mile run. In that order as fast as possible. I was sore for literally a week long after that. Now I never train past 20 reps max in a set and that many reps really burned me alive. So in calisthenics we do 6 to 15 reps for most exercises. When we reach 15 reps we increase the difficulty, but in crossfit they just keep doing normal pushups squats and pull ups. What is the difference in these training styles? Because I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something wrong? And I know why a lot of people look down on crossfit. But still, some of their athletes are pretty good? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2021 06:47 AM PDT Long time resistance trainer mostly with weights and kettle bells, but I just started the recommended routine a few weeks ago and I'm loving it. Definitely working muscles I haven't worked in the past and the whole body aspect gives a good cardio workout at the same time. By the end I'm pretty well spent. I was wondering what one additional exercise would be the best one to add to help increase shoulders? I'm a pretty big guy and I'm pretty thick so even with strong shoulders it makes my deltoids look flat and I was wondering if there is anything better than the traditional shoulder fly that I could do to help bring those out?

| Suggestions for noob with AC issue Posted: 30 Jun 2021 05:22 AM PDT Hi all 👋 I've been training at home for a little over a year. Last weekend I injured my shoulder and I'm currently waiting to see if it's an AC joint issue; Dr Google seems to think it is, and the pain seems to agree. So, I'm new to body weight fitness. If it is what I think it is, has anyone got any suggestions or plans for a program that I could switch to to help with fitness goals (lean growth and general well being) whilst also taking care of the shoulder? I appreciate it's quite a loose open question, so any advice or response you can provide would be most welcome. Thank you all in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Honestly just need the green-light from experienced people, I feel like I know what I’m doing. Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:19 PM PDT Hey everyone, I'm new here, sorry if this isn't the best quality post. Moving on, I'm 18 and 5'7 at 132-35 pounds (62-63kg) and consider myself somewhat fat. I actually lost 35 pounds last summer through keto, and went down from 175 to 135 (current weight) so I'm pretty proud of the progress i've done so far. I decided this summer to build muscle and continue to cut fat through putting myself in a calorie deficit, and doing cardio every other day, not daily while working out with my own bodyweight as I unfortunately have no access to the gym. I have a pullup bar and 2x 10pound dumbbells, thats all. At this point I feel like I know what i'm doing, but please feel free to change or point out anything about my current routine that i'll be sharing down below in a bit; Macros — Carbs 116g, Protein 145g, Fats 82g. 1500-600 Calories daily Monday — Cardio 30min @ 8:30AM after light meal (3x eggs scrambled & toast). Then @ 3-5PM workout Chest, Shoulders, Back for 1hr & 45min Tuesday — No cardio. Workout @ 3-5PM Traps, Biceps, Triceps Wednesday Rest Day Thursday— Cardio 30min jogging @ 8:30AM after light meal. Then @ 3-5PM workout Chest, Shoulders, Forearms, Legs Friday — No cardio. Workout @ 3-5PM Calves, Obliques, Mid Abs, Lower Abs Saturday Rest Day Sunday — No cardio. Workout @ 3-5PM Biceps, Glutes/Hips, Forearms, Obliques, Lower Abs. Doing all this while following my macros & 2L of water everyday. I read the recommended routine and I think this is a good schedule! Please let me know your thoughts guys, I would really appreciate it, thank you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:55 PM PDT Hey all! So I have been doing the recommended routine for about a year with some good improvements when I got struck with an inguinal hernia. Gotta mention I also do some long distance running, so I can't blame it on the bwf entirely. Also worth mentioning I never had ab muscles and I feel this area was always a problem for me. Going forward I kinda feel lots of anxiety creeping in when I think about starting again, fearing that every move might cause a relapse. Not even fully healed yet but I wanna plan my comeback already, I'm at 1 month post op rn. What I would love is some advice if anyone has as to what type of exercises should I avoid, if any and what kind of exercises should I focus on to strengthen my torso? Thanks for taking the time to read and sry for the misspellings, English is not my native language [link] [comments] |
