| I have lower back issues, how should I approach weighted calisthenics? Posted: 17 Jun 2021 03:42 AM PDT I'm currently deciding whether to purchase a weighted vest or a dip belt for doing weighted calisthenics. The two pain excersise I want to do weighted are pull ups and push ups. I don't really wanna do dips because they feel really weird on my shoulder. I plan to load the push ups by slinging the dip belt around my upper middle back, and doing it on a raised platform. The question I have though is, does doing weighted pull up with a dip belt put any pressure on the lower back? I herniated a disc a couple of years ago and while it's fine now, I don't want to cause any more issues with my lower back. Likewise for push-ups, any issues with my setup? I looked into some of the vests but I'm also not sure if wearing one would cause any lower back issues. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2021 09:07 AM PDT I've been doing RR for ~7 months now on a pull up / Pbar station with success and progression. I have an opportunity right now to use rings; I expected things to be harder but oh lord they are much much harder than i expected. Looking for some advice for someone starting out on rings:
Thank you for advice [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2021 09:35 AM PDT I'm 5'11", 219lbs, 15yoM. I've lost 30lbs thanks to CICO and IF. I want to start building some muscle/cardio, so my question is this: If I still want to lose weight while building muscle/cardio, how much of a deficit should I eat at? I am currently not eating near enough food because I've been so focused on losing weight (I won't tell you how little I've been eating bc last time I told reddit I got sworn out and told I would screw up my system if I didn't increase by at least 700cal) I'm thinking around 1500cal? I train Jiu Jitsu 3 times a week, and I have my own calisthenic/tabata routine whenever I don't go to the gym and roll. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2021 02:52 AM PDT At first, my english is a work in progress and I'm not a scientist or and expert, I'm just a guy who want the best for his health and improve his physic from a hobby/non-proffesional point of view. For days, Youtube are recommending me some calisthenics videos and I'm impressed, so I started to research and trying to understand how this guys, without going to the gym, specific machines...achieved that bodies. Here some pictures: Maybe they don't look as big as this kind of guy who bench 130 kg but, taking into consideration the advantages of their training-style seen in the videos: - Low impact in tendoms, ligaments and joints - Decreased risk injury - Non-use (or at least, reduced) of material - More fun training dynamic (Really subjetive, but in the conventional gym you are always performing the same move) So I researched about this kind of training, and found this video (sorry, is in spanish). To sum up, this man explains how people think medium-high rep training (12-20) were insignificant for hypertrophy due to a bad read of studies, but, indeed, are good for this aim. Finally, I would like to see your opinion about this and read some of you that tried this trainning. The next 2 months I will train with this rep range and We'll see (Problably I will do a new post with more information). See ya! [link] [comments] |
| How to Increase the range of motion (mobility)? Posted: 17 Jun 2021 02:00 AM PDT Hello there! I am absolutely new at calisthenics and started with the basics. Pushups, pull-ups (if I archive two or three), squats, elbow planks. But here is my problem... my mobility kind of sucks. I am more like a sick. Can't even sit straight at a wall with my knees at the floor. Tried to touch my toes while standing, but the floor is miles (23cm) away. My hip is also really stiff... Can somebody help me with some exercises to be more flexible? 😩 I know there is YouTube and Google, but there you find tons of contradicting opinions... I need exercises I can do at home and my equipment is a pull-up-bar and dumbbells, if that is needed. Please help me getting started and fitter than now. [link] [comments] |
| I'm stuck on a ship and have 250 Days to improve my overall fitness. How do I plan this out? Posted: 17 Jun 2021 01:22 PM PDT I'm in the Navy and about to be deployed. I am going to apply for some special programs which require me to be in peak physical condition (its nothing special or what you think). I'm decently athletic but not enough right now. It just seems like such a long time and I'm not sure how to optimize my workouts. I have access to a weight vest (40 lbs), limited weights, treadmills, and a few open areas, but we'll be out to sea so my space is limited. I have also promised myself I will workout every single day, unless I determine I'm in some critical need for a rest day (maybe, maybe once a week). It just doesn't seem like a long enough time to improve with the plans that I do have. Can anyone give me some advice to getting a roadmap going? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for help creating my routines Posted: 17 Jun 2021 11:52 AM PDT Im planning on incorporating the following workouts into a routine without working the same muscle more than one day in a row. I'm not sure wether I should do a body split or something different. For my upper body I'd like to do pike pushups, pushups or increasing variations of pushups, ring rows, ring bicep curls, ring overhead tricep curls. For my lower body im just keeping it simple with weighted squats, lunges, and hip thrusts. Again, I'm not sure how I should alternate these moves so that I'm hitting the same muscles not too far apart but not two days in a row. Thanks for any feedback! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2021 11:45 AM PDT I believe it's called costochondritis? Otherwise I have no idea what it is. Basically been doing dips well for several days, and felt a tightness in a line from shoulder to shoulder across the chest. It finally started feeling like a massive pressure in my sternum every dip so I stopped - now it just hurts every time I bend or get up. Not really asking for advice or medical stuff, but did anyone else experience this? How long did you rest before going back to it again? It hurts less after 2 weeks of taking a break but I still get reminded of it when I lie down on my side or do any other effortful movements. Cheers [link] [comments] |
| Achieving muscle up quick tip as a beginner! Posted: 17 Jun 2021 09:34 AM PDT Hey guys, muscle up as you might already know is the signature move of a calisthenics practitioner and it proves that a practitioner has achieved a significant milestone. Pre-requisite: 10 pull ups, 10 straight bar dips. It's more about timing and technique than strength for this muscle up (not clean). But I believe many people would be very joyful and hopeful after they've achieved the muscle up and continue the journey knowing that they're capable of doing such dope exercise! Cheers.

| Knees fall when I try push ups Posted: 16 Jun 2021 09:28 PM PDT I'm a 5'6/5'7 140 pound 14 year old male that's new to working out and whenever I go down on push ups my knees fall. They'll be fine when I do planks and when I'm in the push up position but when I start going down they fall. I also have a problem with my feet where they bend more towards my toes rather than my heels and it causes me to stand and sometimes walk on my toes. I'm getting physical therapy for it soon so I don't know if that's connected but either way it's frustrating that most people my age and sex can do 25+ pushups and I can't even do the simplest part of one. What other exercises should I try to fix this? [link] [comments] |
| Think you should take a couple days off from exercise? Do this first. Posted: 16 Jun 2021 05:37 PM PDT We all fall into the rut of just feeling tired and not wanting to exercise that day. We start to think we are over trained and our mind accepts this readily because deep down that means Netflix time. Jocko Willink gave some great advice on one of his videos. If you think you are really burned out and are going to have a terrible workout---go anyway and see how you feel. Then go the next day. If the third scheduled workout you have that terrible workout where you just feel like blah--then maybe it is time for a break for a few days or a week. But delay that break. Put off the break and not the workout until you are sure after a few days. A lot of times you'll find you weren't burned out at all. Hope that helps and stay strong---Charles [link] [comments] |
| What is the best way to implement GTG in my workout routine ? Posted: 17 Jun 2021 04:14 AM PDT Hi everyone, I have been doing various sport and bodyweight fitness for the last 6 years. I was struggling for the last 4 years with exam periods where I just can't keep up with my workout schedule and just do random workouts through the week. I figured I might as well tell myself that if I can't, for any reason, do my scheduled workout I might as well do some exercices GTG style. Here is what inspired me : https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/o13e4a/6_months_progress_no_before_photo/ And here is my workout schedule : Monday : Skill day & evening stretch lower body Tuesday : Recommended routine & evening stretch upper body Wednesday : Skill day & evening stretch lower body Thursday : Recommended routine & evening stretch upper body Friday : Rest day Saturday : Running in the mountain with my dad & evening stretch lower body Sunday : Recommended routine & evening stretch upper body NB : I usually do the recommended routine right after running when it's still not too hot during summer. I know it's not optimal but well, I prefer to run with some fresh temperatures. I do have a roman chair, a pull up bar, 2 parallel bars, rings, dumbbells (2x10kg), weighted vest (10kg), abs wheel, jumping rope, fitness carpet, workout gloves for grip, and many resistance elastic for warming up and stretching myself. Here are my workout described : My version of the RR Warm Up : < 10 min - Yuri Band - Squat Sky Reaches - GMB Wrist Prep - 5 Arch Hangs into slow pull ups - 5 Support Hold into slow dips - 3 Iron Wolfs Burpees Abs : Plank : 60s Side plank : 60s / side Hollow hold : 60s Arch hold : 60s Reverse plank : 60s Hanging Knee Raise : 10 Hanging Leg Raise : 10 L-Sit progression : 30s Handstand progression : 30s Pause 1min Strength : Vertical Pull : Pull Ups 3x8 Legs : Shrimp Squats 3x8 Vertical Push : Dips (parallel bar and soon rings) 3x8 Lower Back : Deadlift with dumbbells 3x8 Horizontal Pull : Rows (horizontal on rings) Horizontal Push : Push Ups (diamond ones) Skill days : GMB animal movements twice 1min work, 30s rest : Bear Monkey Frogger Crab Handstand progression and L-Sit progression (10min each) Stretching : Top : - Shoulder Backbend - Spine Backbend / Cobra - Rear Hand Clasp - Lying Cross - Wrist Biceps - Child Pose Bottom : - One-Leg Pike - Kneeling Lunge - Pancake - Butterfly - Calf Stretch - TouchYourToes My question is : How to implement GTG when I'm not able or I don't have enough time for one of my workout during the week ? Should I pick random exercices that I love ? Should I pick one of the one I should have done if I was doing my workout ? Should I block some new exercices for GTG ? I read that it is recommended to do only 2 exercices max in GTG, but as I don't want to do GTG in a standard way but just to replace the workout I'm missing during the week or during 2 to 3 weeks periods each year, what are your advices ? Thanks in advance everyone, I hope I'm not bothering any of you and wish I'll be able to get some insights about all this. [link] [comments] |
| After 1,5 years, very minimal to no progress at all on the Front Lever Posted: 16 Jun 2021 10:45 PM PDT Alright, so I decided to seek for help here. Here are my, let's call it - stats: Male 16 years old I weight about 70kg I'm about 1.80cm After roughly 1,5 years I still can't hold that damn lever. I'm kind of getting tired of this thing, but I'll keep going, you never know when that breakthrough is comin' Anyway, I'm currently between advanced tuck and straddle. I don't really have a specific front lever training program or routine. I'm doing sort of GTG type training (as I'm writting, I think this is the problem for my slow progress here). So, maybe anyone who can hold the front lever could give me tips or maybe a routine or something like that.. I'm kind of discouraged and lost at this point. Thanks in advance ! [link] [comments] |
