| Transitioning in ring muslce ups Posted: 01 Jul 2021 01:42 PM PDT Hi, sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I didnt find it. I'm looking for regressions from strict ring muscles ups. I'm getting back into training after 1 year of not really training due to baby. I have just set up some rings and have a heavy kettlebell. Iv many years of strength and fitness behind me but never with rings, and never very specialised. I've decided that a string muslce up is a nice goal - iv previous managed a few kipping bar muslce ups in a set, for the 6 months of so before I stopped training but never close to strict. First 4-6 weeks I'll get be getting back my basic strength. Today I managed 10 reps good pull ups so I'm not too bad - but wasn't getting anywhere close to hight for a transition. Can anyone recommend a series of regression exercises? Without any other input id do: -high pull-ups -skin the cats -toe to 'bar' -dips -type writers On my ring/pulling day Plus a whole bunch of stuff on my kettlebell day. I'll be doing a shortish workout most/alternate days as A. Time is scarce, and B. Still have shitty sleep with a baby so my biology can't 'afford' to exhaust myself. Sorry for long post! Tldr; exercise using only kettlebell or rings (or floor) to hit strict ring muslce ups? [link] [comments] |
| Never felt better physically, anxiety gone, however feeling like I don’t deserve my new body. Posted: 30 Jun 2021 07:17 PM PDT Ok, so this might be long so I apologize. After I had my 2nd kid I had severe post partum anxiety and depression. I decided to join a gym with a daycare to help manage my mental issues as well as socialize my kiddos. It was awesome. I lost about 40 pounds, got my mental health back, the kids loved it, I LOVED going everyday. I never felt better since probably even before high school. However, once I got in better shape, I constantly felt like I didn't deserve to feel that good. Like I was getting too skinny (5'3, 160 at best. But very athletic) I don't know where this comes from. Anyway, as we all know, covid hit and I had to cancel my gym membership and focus on distance learning and basically just keeping my family alive and happy. I bought an elliptical, used it for about a year and then had to get on antidepressants. I burned myself out. Obviously I've gained weight. ANY WAY…. Regarding the uncomfortable feeling in my new body….what is that? As I look forward to both of my kids being in school FINALLY I want to get back in the gym. I'm so excited because I LOVE it. I just want any input as to how to navigate that negative feeling! People would compliment me all the time and I would just say "oh, I'm just lucky, I have the time to work out" and never give myself credit for doing the work. I don't know. Any help would be appreciated!!! Edit: wow thank you for all the responses! For the record I was in therapy, hated it. To clarify, At 160 pounds I was perfectly healthy. Just a reminder that not every fat person you see is unhealthy. I have tons of muscle mass. I was born that way. Always been solid and heavy. Don't look fat, though. [link] [comments] |
| What bodyweight excercise best mimics a punch? Posted: 30 Jun 2021 08:59 PM PDT Which one would be the absolute best for increasing punching power? And how many reps and sets would be optimal? [link] [comments] |
| Legs in calisthenics/bodyweight fitness Posted: 01 Jul 2021 03:15 AM PDT Hello, I am 16 years old boy and a month ago I started doing calisthenics 3 times a week in a gym close to my home. I feel good doing it, but I care a lot about my legs (that are never trained in calisthenics), since I also play tennis 2 times a week, so I would like to train them. My goal would be to have strong and quite musculare legs, not too much but enough. I had thought about including some legs weighted exercises at the end of 1 or 2 of my 3 regular calisthenics workout, plus a fourth day when I would go to the gym to train specifically legs. Also, I planned to start running soon when I find the time. What do you think about it? Otherwise, would you recommend me a different plan? Thanks in advance to whoever is gonna answer :) [link] [comments] |
| Why don't bodybuilders use extended fasts to cut? Posted: 01 Jul 2021 12:13 PM PDT Hi all, Currently doing the recommended routine to try and bulk up. I'm trying to figure out why a natural bodybuilder wouldn't use an extended fast (I'm talking 2-3 weeks) to cut instead of following your typical incremental caloric deficit for a longer period. From the research I have seen, HGH levels increase up to 12.5x after 7 days of water fasting which would be crucial in muscle retention. https://thefastingmethod.com/fasting-and-growth-hormone-physiology-part-3/. You also lose about .6- .8 pounds of fat per day. I recently did a 17 day water fast ( I made a post here regarding my results if you want to see: https://www.reddit.com/r/fasting/comments/nrbrsk/17_day_water_fast_results_may_17_june_3rd/) so I know I can do it. I'm currently on a clean bulk until the end of July. My plan was to do another extended water fast for 3 weeks because I still have a substantial amount of fat to lose. Basically my question is, knowing that HGH levels go through the roof past 7 days of fasting, why wouldn't this method be used by professionals to reduce the time it takes to cut? Is it just a willpower thing? New science that hasn't caught up? I must be missing something here... Thanks for the responses. [link] [comments] |
| Progressive Workouts app: Would you use the feature of sharing workouts and exercises? Posted: 30 Jun 2021 12:41 PM PDT Hi All! I am the developer of the Progressive Workouts app for Android and IOS. It has the Recommended, Primer, Minimalist and Skill Day Routine from this sub. It still has a lot of areas where I want to work on and I get also many requests from this sub. I started this app mainly for myself because I wanted a good stopwatch for L-Sits :D - Now I am striving to create the best possible app for this community. I get a lot of requests of being able to export self created routines to be able to import them on other phones. Also I am asked to add more routines (for example the move routine). So I have the idea to make it possible to share routines between users of the app to kill two birds with one stone. I would introduce the possibility to create an account and upload ones routines/exercises so oneself but also others can use them. This would take me quite a lot of time. So I wanted to ask first if this feature would be used at all. What do you think, is this a good idea and would you create exercises so others could use them or even whole routines? I'm excited to hear your thoughts and requests. Thank you very much for your support I have already gotten. [link] [comments] |
| Experiencec in the gym after 2 years of bwf at home Posted: 30 Jun 2021 02:15 PM PDT Couple of days ago i went to the gym with some friends. After such a long time with only my bodyweight i was curious how i would perform on the big lifts. Even though my technique was shaky: I benched about as much as i did before i ditched the weights. But it felt easy af. This is impressive because i had really good technique and much more benching practice 2 years ago. I think if i were to go bench a couple more times in the next weeks id surely hit an all time pr. Squats on the other hand: While i got stronger on them (+10kg) my form was bad. I only did Bw squats, Bw SplitSquats and Kettlebell swings for those 2 years so im impressed i gained strength. But i suspect that due to single leg training or whatever; one of my legs is much stronger than the other. (Not sure how to correct this/asses this). Couldn't deadlift in the gym i went to so sadly i wont know how that wouldve gone. Overall i feel much more athletic now in all aspects (hell i even look fitter). But i do have to say that working legs with weights is much more fun and much less grueling pain than 200+ reps of Bodyweight squats. Might continue hitting legs with weights. [link] [comments] |

| Is door ledge pull-ups with fingers the equivalent of hang boarding? Posted: 30 Jun 2021 03:24 PM PDT I started attempting them a few months ago. At first I couldn't even pull myself up and had to do negatives that I could barely hold for a second. Now I can do one and pull myself back up halfway the second time. I feel like something like this has to be the best alternative to hang boarding if you don't have one. The only thing I do them between the door on both sides of ledge with palms facing each other. The fingers still have little support this way but I'm not sure if that makes it harder or easier than having palms facing straight like with regular hang board. Bonus question- Are PsuedoPlanche like push-ups but using the diamond hand placement good? I don't see anything online about that type of hand placement when you're putting your hand down closer to your hips. I'd figure it wouldn't help as much with the chest as regular PsuedoPlanche push-ups because closer hand placement, but it should work the triceps harder than regular diamonds I'd think.

| Posted: 30 Jun 2021 12:47 PM PDT Hello everyone, I have been practicing planche for 3 months now, one exercise I regularly do is planche lean with feet on a chair, I place my hands (top of fingers) at a measured distance from the wall, and I lean until my head slightly touch the wall, then I maintain the position. I started at 47 cm and had a weak tuck planche at that time. Now, I am at 52 cm, I can maintain 10 seconds with good protraction and posterior pelvic tilt. And I am also starting to get a solid advanced tuck planche. My question is, to those who can hold straddle planche, or full planche, and even those who can't, up to how many centimeters from the wall can you do the planche lean? I am curious to know how far some of you can go, and also this would give me a vague idea about my level. I am 184 cm tall and weigh 70 kg [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Jun 2021 12:39 PM PDT Basically my hamstrings are not very flexible, just like the rest of my body because I have been neglecting stretching for a long while. I have a bit of an anterior pelvic tilt going on and I read that having tight hamstrings fix that (or having flexible hip flexors, which is why I stretch them often). But I want to have flexible hamstrings to do hanging leg raises. I almost can't even raise my legs at 90 degrees during hanging leg raises because of my hamstrings, or reach my toes when stretching them. I should also add that I know that in the case that my hamstrings are weak I shouldn't be stretching them anyway, but I also know that I can squat around 80lbs for multiple reps. That should give you an idea of my hamstring strength. So I am in this predicament, should I add stretching my hamstrings to my routine? Thank you in advance. TL;DR: I want to have tight hamstrings to keep my anterior pelvic tilt in check, but also have them be flexible to do better leg raises. Should I be stretching them? [link] [comments] |
