| Daily full body -how important is variety? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:04 AM PDT I have found success in utilizing daily full body workout consisting of 1 push,pull, and leg exercise 5-6 times a week (a la K Boges -check him out on YouTube) . Doing these short workouts has greatly improved my consistency - which has been the largest detriment pertaining to my fitness journey. With my limited knowledge and experience I am not confident in implementing more spontaneous variations of exercises on a daily basis. As such, I was curious if rotating though an "A" "B" day (posted below) would provide enough variety. To clarify, my main concern with this routine would be developing "over-use" injuries through its repetitiveness. For example: Day A: Dips: 3x8-12 Pull-ups: 3x8-12 Nordic progression: 3x4-8 Day B: Pushups 3x12-15 Rows 3x12-15 Bulgarian Split Squat 3x12-15 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||
| So close to the ring dips progression --- can I jump into them now? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:29 AM PDT I'm doing the RR and can currently do a 50s support hold on the rings (hands turned out slightly) and 6r x3 parallel bar dips. My problem is that I always feel a bit of strain on my elbows doing the dips. The parallel bars are awkward in general for me -- it seems unnatural, like I'm fighting to keep good dip form with my scaps down, elbows back, etc. I'm looking forward to the ring dips because everything I've read says they'll adjust to the natural movement of my body as I dip. I do have a Sling Shot that a lifting buddy gave me which I used along with eccentrics to get to the parallel bar dip. I could use that on the rings, too, I assume. So the question is, at this point, am I strong enough/prepped enough to just jump ahead to ring dips, or Sling Shot assisted ring dips? Here's the rest of my RR progression -- thanks!

| Question about the diet (beginner) Posted: 29 Jun 2021 06:39 AM PDT As I said elsewhere I haven't been exercising for years, and anyway I never was too muscular. Now I'm out of shape with about 30% of body fat. I started the RR a month ago (still not the complete workout) and I want to adjust the diet to gain muscle but since I'm already quite fat also not gaining more of that. Since I'm overweight and a beginner I suppose I can hope for a good body composition change (gaining muscle and losing fat) for a while. The question is, should I get a balanced intake of calories to match my TDEE or less/more? Also I'm 42 and not a hard gainer (I'm genetically big) Thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||

| Posted: 29 Jun 2021 12:38 PM PDT Hello, I am a 14 year old boy. I have lost a lot of fat in the last few years. When I was about 10 I was absolutely fat, I couldn't even run a bit. Now I am normal weight for my age, but I still have a decent amount of fat on my belly and my legs are still pretty fat. I weigh 69 kg and I am 184 cm tall. I do road biking or mountain biking 3-6 times a week. I am pretty strong but my legs are so fat, so I look pretty "weak". I have also been doing the RR for the last few weeks. My max reps are pretty imbalanced between different exercises, because this winter I did a lot of pull ups, so I can do about 10 pull ups, but only a few dips and about 15 push ups. Im sure that will balance out with time. I am more worried about how this fat will go away. I haven't really tracked my weight too seriously, so I don't know if my legs have went smaller in the last few months, but it doesn't really seem like they have. So what should I do? Eat less and try to lose fat or keep eating normally and just keep doing both cycling and strength training. I don't want to do some strict diet. Just skip snacks and eat less at meal times. I don't eat fast food, well 1 pizza every friday. I also don't drink soda or other sugary drinks. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Jun 2021 11:52 AM PDT Hey there! I started out my chalistenics journey a half an year ago and I have been seeing some progress, though I want to get a bit more serious about it. I've been watching a lot of content on bulking and cutting but I wounder if it applies to chalistenics or only for resistance training. But my most important question is: Currently I am in a really healthy weight with some muscle gain (not much yet), but I have quite noticeble "love handles" and a bit of lower belly fat. I really want to get rid of this fat, but I don't want to sacrifice my muscle gain rythm. I wanted to know if I should be on a caloric surplus or deficit. Thanks for your time in advance.

| Am I training for speed wrong? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 10:56 AM PDT Context: In a few months I'll be attending a military special operations selection course. For this I've been training push-ups, pull-ups, rucking, running far (5mi @ 7min pace), and running fast (2 miles @ 6:30 pace). My question is about running fast; a 13-minute 2-mile is considered the "best" score on my military fitness test - but for special operations selection it's "good enough." I'm working to get back to sub-6 miles like I used to (back in high school) - the difference is I weighed 135lbs and couldn't do 10 pushups when I ran 5:05 miles and now I weigh 185lbs and can do 70+ pushups. Is it physically possible for me to get into the 5:30 range while keeping my strength? Workout: I recently started doing 3x weekly sprint workouts. Half mile warm-up at 8min pace; then 4x400m with a goal of 1:25 per 400m then rest 1:25 - this is on an Evocardio Renegade HIIT assault/manual treadmill with resistance set to 0. Problem: Even at 0 resistance, this treadmill is kicking my ass. I hit the first 400m at about 1:35; then the rest at 1:40-1:55 and I'm absolutely gassed. I think this has to do with the inherent resistance that the treadmill brings. Questions: Is this manual treadmill a good way to train speed? Should I instead be going to a track with a stopwatch? Should I be doing more than 400m intervals if my goal is to train for a 2-mile run at a 5:30-5:45 pace? Am I completely wrong and this is actually good training and I need to stop being a little bitch who is scared of being out of breath and just keep going? Thanks in advance Edit: To clarify, these sprints are not the only workouts I'm doing. I wrote just about the sprints because my question is about increasing shorter distance (2 mile) run time; I'm good to go on the other events and am just working to maintain my status with them.

| Most effective way to do kegels, reverse kegels and other pelvic floor excercises? Posted: 29 Jun 2021 08:27 AM PDT I know this might not really fit in here, but I hope someone can help me out anyways. So my urologist ordered me to do kegel excercises for erectile dysfunction. He mentioned briefly how to do them and that I can easily fit them in my day and do them whenever I think about it. I looked this up online and for one, it seems that additionally doing reverse kegels is generally recommended, such that the one-sided motion of the muscle doesn't end up causing issues. I also saw that there are other pelvic floor excercises that might be helpful. In general, I wonder what the most effective way to do kegels, reverse kegels, and other pelvic floor excercises is.

| Posted: 28 Jun 2021 08:22 PM PDT Hi everyone I wanted to ask if you can give me feedback on my pushup and inverted row. I am really trying to focus on scapular mechanics as my physio therapist said I have scapular winging, which I have added a pic of below. Inverted row: https://imgur.com/gallery/dT3fRuU Push-up: https://imgur.com/gallery/AsLKDb7 Scapular winging: https://imgur.com/gallery/4SN7l5X Please do let me know what you think. To fix the winging, the physio told me to perform rhomboid strengthening exercises. I'm doing this by doing the seated cable row but with only one arm and really focusing on squeezing my shoulder blades together to strengthen my right side. I think it's also important to note that whenever I perform the push-up or pull up, when I squeeze my shoulder blades my left one feels nice and rigid at the contraction while the right one feels much more loose and weak. Do you have other tips to help with this? I'd really appreciate your help! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||

| RR feels too long, critique my adjustments Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:52 AM PDT I'm only a couple weeks into training and focusing on keeping on muscle while on a cut. So pretty much brand new. I've been sticking to the RR and have made some nice strength gains. The issue is that I tend to gas out quickly and the workouts are taking me 1.5-2 hours to complete. Not a fan of that length. To try and fix things, I did some research and designed an upper lower split that fits more of my strength and aesthetic goals. I have access to is a pullup and dip station, bands, rings, and an a pair of adjustable dumbbells. What I designed was: Upper:
Lower + Abs:
I'm planning on doing this kind of split: Upper Lower Rest Upper Lower Rest Rest Please let me know if something is weird or off. The progressions shown are what I am working on currently. Should I just stick to the RR? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||
| Vision fading out experience and leg excersises Posted: 28 Jun 2021 07:45 PM PDT Frist of all I understand reddit is in no weay credible for professional medical advice. I'm simply looking to share my experience with vision fading and see if others have had similar experiences. So this pandemic got me out of the gym and not until a month and half ago I got into swimming and felt I got back into a good condition substantially as I'm now doing greater distances in the pool (2k- 1800m) . Having found happines in my results I felt adding up a body weight routine to target legs might be a good idea( I want to have better looking legs lol) Enter me last friday after some reserach doing a 10min warmup and then some lunges x20 and jumping squats x20 sets. I did two sets and my vision began to fade a little and I got a little cold. I tried doing two lunges and had to stop as I was definitely not feeling good. I sat and it took me half and hour to get back to a good calm state. I felt cold and a little light headed. Ok so perhaps I didn't eat or was dehydrated I tought. So today I ate and drank water an hour before. Just like in Friday after the warmup and the two sets my vision began to fade a little and I decided to stop there to not get in the feeling bad state. So...I really feel lunges and jumping squats while demanding on their own way and targeting the muscles I want are simple enough exercises right? I feel as if my legs where sucking my blood away from my head if that makes sense...is that a thing? What would you recommend as an effective light leg routine to get started? Have you had similar symptoms after exercising legs a little? Perhaps jumping squats are too aggressive? I will try without jumping this Wednesday [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 Jun 2021 09:06 PM PDT hi there everybody, I've (M20) have never been a person who has been very exercise or health conscious for my entire life. The past few years I've tried losing some weight (was around 170 a year ago) cause I wasn't content with my body and did weight and strength exercises at the gym with friends. After covid struck, and as a student sitting all day, I am now currently 215 pounds. I am extremely unhappy with my body and have reached a low point in my life. I've been trying to research good ways to begin losing weight and I have ideas of toning up my body, but my main priority is losing a lot of my weight first. There's so much information overload that I can't tell is reliable or not, and I'd love if anybody could provide any advice on how to get on track to a journey to losing this much. My current situation is no gym and no equipment, just some running shoes and tight workout clothes I can use. At home exercises would be ideal, but I have no idea how to even form a routine for that and how I should pace myself. [link] [comments] |
