| I can't stop worrying before a workout Posted: 03 Jun 2021 05:40 AM PDT I've been exercising for a year and I merely can't stop worrying about my progress. What if I'm not going to hit 10 reps in the third set of pull-ups? What if I fail to finish the last set of squats? What if I become weaker and my routine doesn't work for me anymore? I'm scared that I'll begin to stagnate because my progress constantly fluctuates, no matter how hard I push myself. On one day I can easily do 4 sets of 10 pull-ups and on the other, I'll hardly do 4 sets of 7. Did you have the same issue? If yes, then how did you deal with it? Edit. I didn't expect so much response. Guys, seriously, thanks a lot for your help and advice. You are the best. [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone tried kneesovertoes? Posted: 03 Jun 2021 10:14 AM PDT I think squat and deadlift progressions are usually recommended here, but I've seen 'kneesovertoes' come up a few times (https://www.reddit.com/r/Kneesovertoes/) with some exercises that are supposed to help with flexibility (hip flexor, ankle, etc.), injury prevention, and generally seem to have more of a lower body focus than the bodyweightfitness recommended routine. Has anyone tried incorporating exercises like split squats, tibialis raises, or others that are part of 'kneesovertoes'? [link] [comments] |
| As a teenager, what should I be doing? Posted: 02 Jun 2021 04:18 PM PDT Hello I'm a 15 yes old who's been through a few months of depression, but I'm getting better now and would really like to improve my body because I'm very skinny and it makes me self conscious. I've never done exercise before really so I don't even know where to start. I really just want a simple routine that I can keep to on a daily/ weekly basis that tones my whole body and works on all my muscles so I can begin to look a little more buff. I'm willing to work hard. Can I be pointed in the right direction please? I have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks 😊 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2021 04:30 AM PDT HEy Guys, I have been working out now for almost 3 years, but I have to say consistently since 1.5 years and Im kinda depressed by my slow results.... Usually I work out 4-5 times a week, in a split (push pull legs). I did a lot of HIIT workouts on youtube in the beginning, then I started in the gym. Since corona I did bodyweight training for every muscle and dumbells. I even care about my diet but what the fck am I doing wrong??? Id really appreciate any help or advice... Some data to myself: Im, 30 years old 1.80 and now weigh 75 kg, I have around 24% bodyfat Edit: some pictures https://imgur.com/a/elySOK3 [link] [comments] |
| Supercharge Exercise Performance and Recovery Posted: 03 Jun 2021 08:35 AM PDT Hey all, thought I would share this as it is super fascinating. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist out of Stanford who runs a great podcast where he covers a multitude of topics related to neuroscience. This month he is tackling exercise performance, and this particular episode focuses on boosting athletic performance and recovery. One such trial he covers talks about how people were able to boost their pull-ups in a given time frame by over 300% using methods he discusses in the podcast. Certainly worth a listen!

| First time doing my own workout plan Posted: 03 Jun 2021 07:31 AM PDT Hi, this is my first post, and thought no other theme to post but here. I have worked out before done some weight lifting and done some improving flexibilities and movements. But I was helped by trainers or friends, I thought after getting the Covid vaccine I get back to weight lifting to lose 20 lbs (at 175lbs want to get 155). I have never done this on my own coming up with a workout plan or regiment. What I'm asking while I'm getting stronger, how do I without neglecting work on endurance or neglect flexibilities?

| Smolov Jr results calisthenics edition. Posted: 03 Jun 2021 10:33 AM PDT know the dreaded Smolov program as one of the most intense peaking programs around. That's why I settled for Smolov Jr  Smolov Jr. is an abbreviated version of the Smolov squatting protocol. Powerlifters use it for the bench press. "For many of you, this 4-day per week regimen will include some of the toughest sets you've ever attempted." One website said. And with my weighted dips and weighted pull-ups where stalling big time, I felt I needed a kick in the pants. Starting stats: Weight: 165 Height: 5'6 Weighted dip PR: 80 lbs. Weighted Pull up: 85 lbs. After Smolov Jr: weight 166.5 Height 5'6 (damn nothing will help me grow haha) Weighted dip PR: 95 lbs. Weighted Pull up: 95 lbs. Notes and thoughts: I felt good overall on the program I ate like a horse and got up to 170 pounds on the program. My tendonitis in my inner elbow (golfer's elbow) flared up, so I increased the soft tissue prep as I expected this to happen to do to all the extra volume. Overall I am pleased with my numbers and hope to continue the trend. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:57 AM PDT I am a cyclist normally however have spent a few months off the bike and have started getting into body weight exercises. My current regime is Push, Legs, Pull and then I add 3 core workouts a week (normally on the 1st leg day and 2nd push and pull day). I am currently doing 3 day on 1 day off split. My workouts are quite simple mainly consisting of push-ups, some shoulder exercises, weighted split squats, wall sits, calf raises, pull-ups & curls. I'm looking to get back into my cycling but not sure how to rotate it in. I used to go out 3/4 times a week. Do I just carry on with my normal regime but add the cycling on top, as long as I still get that 1 day off after every 3 on? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Help with development of a new body image scale Posted: 02 Jun 2021 10:36 PM PDT Hi everyone, I am a PhD candidate at the School of Medicine, Western Sydney University. For my PhD, I am developing a new body image questionnaire, and for this I will need your help. Currently I am recruiting participants with eating disorder or muscle dysmorphia lived experience(formally diagnosed or who believe to have had this disorder) to complete an online survey. You will simply provide your opinion on statements/items that will form the new questionnaire. Participation is anonymous and lasts approximately 20 minutes. At the end, you can choose a charity to which we will donate $10AUD. This study has been approved by the Western Sydney University human research ethics committee (approval number H13701). Thank you in advance! Survey link: https://surveyswesternsydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eE7QmFwbEpT1Jzg [link] [comments] |
| How to attach Rings to the ceiling in rental apartment? Posted: 03 Jun 2021 07:54 AM PDT Currently I'm in the long process of getting my teeth pulled so I feel like I'd be right now wasting my time buying membership to gym. I tried to youtube a bit to see how to attach rings at home, but most were done to people's garage or own houses and not rental apartments. I don't have creative skills with wood or other building stuff, so I wonder if there's some simple and fool proof way of drilling some type of bolts or something that can hold the rings and 65'ish kg body weight. I guess I would also have to somehow make sure to not hit any electric cables or anything. I live in sort of a 2 story building on 2nd floor and the ceiling is made of concrete by the looks and feel of it. Reason I want to have rings attached at home is cause I don't particularly like attention so would rather not just go to children's playground and attach rings there or over a basketball hoop pole. Especially since I can barely do 2 pull ups, and would really like a place to practice them. Second reason is that my door frames do not like pull up bars as the frames themselves start bending a bit which really sucks. To the point where you just start hear cracking noises.

| My dance calves are killing my morning runs Posted: 03 Jun 2021 07:45 AM PDT Before the winter quarantine I had attended a weekend Latin dance class focusing on the rumba and cha cha. With five classes left and lockdown in full swing I began to do cardio to work out the excess weight I gained. Up and down the apartment complex staircase and when partial opening started I did 5k runs with the goal of a 25 minute run time in mind. For three weeks I saw my time go from 40 to 31 minutes at my best. However, this weekend my dance classes resumed with more intense sessions in order to get more "bang for our buck" as the teacher put it. This would be a lot of strain on my abs and calves as they became sore from the exercise. Even though I skipped runs on the weekend to reduce the stress on the legs and let them adjust, during the week I found myself unable to hold a decent pace for more than three minutes when previously I had been holding well for 15 before slowing. I noticed its due to my calves slightly aching and dragging my feet when I run. When I focus and lift my legs my speed and distance suffers instead. Is there any advice for my situation?

| Inverted Cross: Strategies and Approaches to Training Posted: 03 Jun 2021 11:14 AM PDT Sup guys, this is for those of you- who like me have been unable to find useful resources on how to train/achieve the Inverted Cross. I trawled through as many resources as I could on the entire internet, but could not find a proper guide on how to attain the inverted cross. So I'm trailblazing and creating my own progressions/exercises and a guide on how to achieve this seemingly-unobtainable element. I started experimenting with Inverted Cross training today, and have made the following observations.
This guide is based on my own experience and I will continue to update this thread as I go along (today was my first day of training- so I'm still figuring things out, and will get better as I go). Cheers guys, and as always feel free to AMA! P.S. My weight is 68kg at 167cm, or 150 lbs at 5'6. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2021 11:10 AM PDT So I've been overweight for quit a time and decided that I wanna lose weight and build up my body for bit. Not going really far just being able to do an amount of push ups and stuff without crashing on the floor afterwards. So I started walking or running for like an hour and some excercises at home like knee push ups, casual push ups and other stuff for like 20 minutes. So now I have 2 Questions now: 1.Am I doing it right? Am I overdoing something? Should I do anything beside these?
I'm 18, weight 85.2 kg (187 lbs) and I'm 170 cm (5'7) tall. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2021 10:40 AM PDT Hey you all. I'm about 90kg at 192cm (if that's relevant at all) and I try to get about 160g of protein each day in my diet. I was on a more protein than carb diet before I took up the RR and started with working out. It just felt better. Now my problem is that 1. Dairy messes up my face really badly and I get really really bad and hurting acne after drinking only 300ml of milk, so I have to cut it out. Also Whey has the same effect but way more mild. And 2. is that I'm allergic to mosts fruits and some vegetables, even the vegan protein powders trigger a reaction. What can I do to get around the same amount of protein without killing my bank account or messing with my condition? Are there some hidden gems I might haven't found yet? Thank you guys in advance and I really enjoy reading this sub! [link] [comments] |
| Standard excercises too easy/targeting wrong muscles (BWF primer routine)? Posted: 03 Jun 2021 08:50 AM PDT I did 8th day BWF primer routine right now. The only excercise that is being challenging is push-ups which I have to do at big inclination. However, all the other excercises seem to be just suspiciously easy. I feel like I'm doing it right, thoroughly following the tutorials. But two excercises now, especially bedsheet rows and glute bridges seem to be too easy. I guess with rows I should feel fatigue in muscles located on my spine(?) but I feel fatigue in my forearms. and with glute bridges I feel much more tension anywhere in my legs but not glutes (while glutes are being tensioned of course). Squats feel right and I can do lots of them but I can't move on to the advanced excercises like pistol-leg squats because now they're too hard. Who had the same problems before, is there a way you found to fix them? Can I make adjustments in the sets BFW PR sets or I should strictly follow the routine? [link] [comments] |
| What can I add to my fitness routine? Posted: 03 Jun 2021 02:29 AM PDT Hi all, Completed be primer routine, really enjoyed it but don't have the necessary equipment or set up for the recommended. I've kept the primer routine and my current routine is the below: 3-4 days a week 3x12 inclined push ups 3x12 rows 3x7-10 pull ups 3x8 squats 3x8 glute thrusts 3x15s static deadbugs 3x15s bird dogs 20x sit ups Im also trying to bike to work as much as I can or use my cycle bike at home. I'm wondering whether I should add anything more, predominantly on the core area as my sunken chest means I tend to look like I've got a pot belly I'm around 10.5 stone. Enjoying my routine but wondering if there's any benefit of adding anything else e.g. weights or more crunches/situps [link] [comments] |
| Is there any REAL protein powder without bad ingredients ? Posted: 03 Jun 2021 09:34 AM PDT As the title says it, I have been looking for a while for a protein powder that doesn't have Sucralose, acesulfame K and an other bunch of additives with weird pronunciations, but I always find a protein with at least on possible bad / possibly bad component. I had an Optimum nutrition before, it didn't have that much effect on me then i tried nutramino which worked perfectly on my gainings but then i found out later on about its components, and i don't want to use them again, so now i am just trying to find something that is actually without any bad or supposedly bad components. HAppy to hear your propositons ! [link] [comments] |
| Getting muscle fatigue on first round when doing 4 round routines. Posted: 03 Jun 2021 04:30 AM PDT Hey guys I have progressed to the next level on my calisthenics workouts and I am struggling to get through this routine that I apparently should be up too? ( You will probably say regress but I can do the previous routines with ease so apparently I should start this one but I'm finding it difficult as I can do 15 pull ups in a single setting but cannot do this workout? 10 type writer pull ups ( by the second round I have to do 3 rest then 3 again till I get to 10) 10 explosive high pull ups (by the second round I can barely explode up it becomes a struggle) 10 clapping pull ups (need to use legs to help by 3rd round) 25 Australian pull ups I need to do 5 at a time like the type writer pull ups because I cannot do them in one go is this ok?) 15 chinups (again by the second and 3rd round I am splitting it into 5x3 reps with a quick rest ) 15 Negative chinups 10 close grip chin ups ( split into 5 reps of 3 sets minimal rest only because I cannot get the full 15 in one set.) Now I can do these on there own in one set if I needed without splitting them up but during the session as a whole I struggle so much my muscles cannot keep up but I still finish the workout. Any tips would be nice or advice as to why I cannot do the routine as intended or just anything, thanks. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 02 Jun 2021 09:10 PM PDT I'm 16 and I'm skinny as hell and I workout on and off but I started taking it seriously and I was wondering if my results are good or not.
