| Did a pull up for the first time in my life today!!! Posted: 12 Jun 2021 11:30 AM PDT Hi bodyweightfitness, I cannot tell you how exciting this is. I started doing the recommended routine (I think an older version because I am using an app for Android) last summer kind of casually since I couldn't go to the gym anymore because of the pandemic. When I was a regular at the gym I did weights and could squat and deadlift around 130lbs but my arms were never that strong. For the record I'm 5'5 125-135lbs. I would do the assisted pull up machine but was definitely plateauing at a certain amount of weight. Well I got more serious about the bodyweight routine in the fall and in march, I bit the bullet and got a power tower to try to train to do pull ups on. Now here in June, I just did my first one ever! For the record, when I started, I couldn't even lift myself out of a dead hang on the bar. So I added negatives and scapular shrugs(? Not actually sure what they're called but when you just try to start a pull up from a dead hang) to my routine. I know there are lots of people out there doing crazy hard stuff but for me 1 pull up was my ultimate goal and I can't believe it happened. I even remember in elementary school, my gym teacher making me redo the static arm hang because I dropped after like two seconds and he didn't want to fail me. So it's just unbelievable. Last thing, and sorry for the long post, I did up my protein intake too which I think helped. Just an extra 20g from a shake everyday. I feel like sarah connor, people, thank you so much! Edit: Thank you so much everyone for all the nice thoughts and good luck to all the people who are still working on getting their first pull up in! And just for the record, I'm actually a woman and I only bring it up because when I first looked up r/bodyweightfitness I couldn't find any women's journeys to a pull up, so to the other strong women out there, you can definitely do it!

| Posted: 12 Jun 2021 09:53 PM PDT Hello, I hope you are all having a great evening. I've worked out for years now and have constantly struggled with my chest area. I thought I had Gynecomastia but it turns out I don't. However I have a fat pocket on my left pectoral and I'm starting to lose my faith in losing it naturally. I was also born with a deformity on my right arm but that has never stopped me from working out although due to not having a right thumb I have to stick to power block weights or Smith machines. Curious to know if anyone one else had the same problem with their chest and what was the solution behind it? Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Struggling to feel core activation need advice ? Posted: 13 Jun 2021 12:04 AM PDT Hey guys I'm 16 and I'm skinny fat currently bulking and planning to cut in a few months but I'm really struggling to train my abs. I know I have weak glutes and tight hip flexors and every single ab excerise I try I don't feel my abs working rather my legs or somewhere else: Planks: shoulders tire first I push my glutes down while tensing and breathe in but feel no ab activation. Leg raises: even when focusing on lifting my legs with my abs and getting my pelvis of the floor my legs tire and I feel little lower ab activation. Hips also pop. Crunches with raised feet: little ab activation felt. Hollow body hold: back is flat on the ground but legs tire first and little ab activation I don't know what to do and how to work my abs.

| Starting to workout again! Question Posted: 12 Jun 2021 11:44 PM PDT I've started properly working out again after a few months. I've checked out the RR and there are a few exercises I don't like, so I'm trying to build my small plan, and I want to know what do you think. Workout 1: Pull-ups 8×4 Chin-up 8×4 Dips 10×4 Push-ups (7 diamond 7 regular 7 wide ×3) Push-ups (10 incline 10 decline ×4) Workout 2: (20 +) minute run Squats + calf raises 10×3 Lunges 10×3 Abs workout (usually using an app) Twice a week each What do you think? Should I add something? Change the order of some exercises? Any advice is warmly welcomed! Thank you! Have a great day :) [link] [comments] |
| Please help me? Juice or Smoothie, any other tips for avoiding reoccurring tonsillitis? Posted: 12 Jun 2021 11:38 PM PDT Hi all, I keep getting Tonsillitis. I was tested for quincy, stis, sepsis and a lot more as they took a lot of blood etc. The good news is that it is a mild infection but one that occurs to me every 2ish years and is always unpleasant. Firstly I will be going to the dentist as I believe a shift in my wisdom teeth could have contributed. I want to ask here though about lifestyle tips to improve my immune system and general health. I am a bit overweight but nothing major, losing 20lbs would help a lot . I plan to start running again as soon as better and thought after my runs I'm going to smoothie or juice. What one is better? I also just want to see any tips or that for better immune system? I am a 33 yr old male. I don't smoke or drink or take drugs, have v v v mild asthma and generally good health bar this tonsillitis problem. Sorry for the long text, I was in hospital til 2am and can't sleep now at 7am. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jun 2021 03:39 PM PDT So I used to have a decent front lever 3 or 4 years ago , I haven't trained it since and I have only trained anything intermittently for about 3 years. For the last couple of months ive been pretty consistent with a pull up , dips and press ups program 10 sets of 10 of each so 300 movies generally it takes about an hour. Im trying to build strength before starting to train more seriously , so yesterday I decided to see where I was at with the front lever and absolutely not expecting to get anywhere near it but I held it for about 3 seconds probably not perfectly straight but it felt light years better than I was expecting .

| Volume Accumulation or Training to Failure for Hypertrophy? Posted: 12 Jun 2021 06:05 AM PDT Gyms are closed where I'm at, and I'm mostly going to be doing calisthenics for the next month or so, with a lot of focus on dips/pullups/chin-ups/rows. Since training for pure strength is out of the question, I thought I would use this time to do something to gain weight. My usual routine when gyms were open was to focus on increasing my 5RPM/3RPM in the above exercises. So my question is, what is more effective in terms of hypertrophy? Higher volume, with no sets to failure, or fewer sets and all to failure. For instance, a volume workout would be something like this for me, 10x10 for pullups, for a total of 100. Training to failure would be something like 18/14/9/6/6, for a total of 53. Half the volume, but all sets to failure. What would be the most effective for hypertrophy? Anecdotes welcome :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jun 2021 12:17 PM PDT I have been trying to lose weight past couple of months but without much success. I do only bodyweight exercises at home My training includes. 100 burpees. 100 squats with 10 kg weight. 100 Lunges with with 10 kg weights. 100 push-up. 100 reps of core exercises. 100 KB swings. I am 5 feet 8" and weighs 87kgs. I usually start with the burpees that takes me 15-18 mins to finish the 100 reps. And I manage to rotate among these limited exercises by choosing 3-4 of those. I exercise like 3 or 4 times a week. I have added a pull-up bar today to increase variations. I can do like 3 pull-ups at a time only. Not sure what am doing wrong that I haven't gained much out of my training [link] [comments] |
| I finally found my motivation through skills training! Posted: 12 Jun 2021 01:13 AM PDT I just wanted to share this with you guys. I used to have no motivation whether it be in the gym, or doing calisthenics at my local park. I was looking for the easy 1 month results and expected my muscles to blow up within days. Once I discovered skills like the human flag, air walk pull-up, muscle ups, etc. My motivation went through the roof. I actually enjoy working out, if you guys are lacking motivation or feel like your journey is taking an infinite amount of days, make sure you read the wonderful resources we have on here and talk to people who are more experienced than you. And look at all of the cool moves we can learn, like seriously? Imagine doing a pistol squat whenever you want to!? The calisthenic world is ours! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jun 2021 12:05 PM PDT Hello r/bodyweightfitness, I'm glad to be a part of this community. I recently discovered this reddit, and in doing so fell in love with the rr. However, I wanted to work towards skills, which lead me to the Move routine. Problem is, it's incomplete. The Phase 5 skills section has been abandoned for around 3 years, and I was hoping someone would complete it. Here is the link to phase 5, note the (todo) written beside many of the skills included https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/move/phase5. [link] [comments] |
| How do you cope with fat gain while trying to bulk on a bodyweight routine? Posted: 12 Jun 2021 01:37 AM PDT Sorry if this is kind of a beginner question but I need to get an answer. Here is the thing. The last time I tried to bulk I was doing bodyweight movements as well as weight lifting, all at the gym. I noticed that as I gained more and more fat, the bodyweight exercises got progressively more difficult, which led to the volume decreasing over time. Which obviously makes sense because you now are moving more weight within your body. Meanwhile, my lifts were skyrocketing as I gained strength. So I was left with the question: how can I successfully bulk and get stronger on my bodyweight exercises, without getting the fat gain into the way? Is there a specific dietary approach to follow in order to not run into this problem? Because if I try to bulk the common way, which means embracing the fat gain, I'm not sure I would be able to progress in an effective way. Or at least that's what my personal experience tells me. I'm asking this question because I'm really considering going full calisthenics mode, given that covid is still a major issue in my country (government is astronomically shitty resolving the covid problem), so going to the gym does not seem sustainable in the long term. Any response would be appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| To Cut or to Recomp for Skinny Fat? Posted: 12 Jun 2021 09:20 AM PDT I've been bulking ever since I started working out so about 9 months so far however haven't been consistent in the bulk. I went from 107 to 136 at 5'6 m. I have gotten to, I'm guessing 16-18% bf ,and I feel like I should lose some fat for calisthenics and summer. I was thinking of doing a recomp over the summer starting next week. 100-200 maybe 300 deficit, 1g/lb of protein, and calisthenics. Whats the difference between a cut then and a recomp? Is it just a bigger deficit? I'm also fairly active outside of just working out (walks, bike rides, playing with little brothers) so I'm guessing my deficit increases because of that too. Any advice/tips would help thanks! [link] [comments] |
| How's is my workout formula/structure thingy? �� Posted: 12 Jun 2021 05:18 AM PDT "My workout formula/structure thingy" Note: (sorry if my English is not gud lol🙃) I did my research about fitness stuff properly, did taekwondo for 2 years, stopped for 2 years, and rn I'm doing calisthenics for almost 2 months. I just made this up (experimenting stuff), so I'm wondering if it's decent? 🤔 What are your thoughts? Example:
If I can do maximum of 12 or more reps, I'll either progress to a harder variation the next upper body day, or just do the same difficulty again, and the next upper body day after that I'll progress to a harder variation. Example No.2: Max rep = 12 5 minutes rest Set 1 = 8 3 minutes rest Set 2 = 8 3 minutes rest Set 3 = 8 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jun 2021 09:44 AM PDT I'm a beginner, so please feel free to shit all over my plan. I have been "exercising" for the last year, so I do have a tiny amount of strength/fitness. I have done 30x6 push ups, the core workout described below, and 20x4 goblet squats with 50lbs every other day for the last year. Current stats: Age - 27 M Weight - 190lbs Height - 6'0 BF - 20%, my target is 15% To start with I want to train 2 days on, 1 day off. I don't have a pull up bar but I have 2 30lbs dumbbells. I'm also only working out at home for now. Push - Push ups, narrow push ups, wide push ups, decline push ups, dumbbell press - 1x10 each Pull - Bent over rows, high pulls, renegade rows, iso hold curls, hammer curls, bent over curls - 1x10 each, 20lbs per dumbbell Core - crunches, left/right oblique crunches, bicycle crunches, reverse crunches, crossover crunch, vertical leg crunch - 45 seconds each Legs - Bulgarian split squats, single leg Romanian deadlift, goblet squats, single leg glute bridge, single leg calf raises, sumo lunges - 1x10, 50lbs 1 minute plank My progressive overload will come from shorter rests between exercises, more reps, increased weight for exercises I am not already using the full 30/60lbs for and eventually going from 2 days on/1 day off to 3 days on/1day off and so on. I'm also on 1700 calories a day with 150g protein and 40g fat. I also do 16:8 IF. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Should I lose weight before building muscle? Posted: 12 Jun 2021 05:10 AM PDT Hi everyone, I am a 16 year old male who is what I would consider "skinny". I'm definitely not chubby but I have some stomach fat that bothers me and I'm quite insecure about. I'm roughly 5'8 and 65kg, I really want to start building muscle and getting a bigger build. Unfortunately I do not have access to any equipment. So what would you guys suggest I do with my current physique? Should I lose weight or gain muscle? And what are your guys' recommended exercises, workouts, and routines to get bigger and to gain muscle? Thank you! My Physique [link] [comments] |
| I don't really understand the recommended routine Posted: 11 Jun 2021 10:53 PM PDT I'm a total beginner in anything bodybuilding and have no idea where to even start but I wanna try bodyweight. - the RR says first pair, second pair and third pair, and core triplets but only 3 days a week, like each pair for each day? what does that mean? first pair on Monday and second on Wednesday or something? - what about progressive overload? I see guys doing hundreds of push ups but they are not big, so I don't want to train for endurance or strength, I just want to focus on size. is the routine in here good or is there something else?
