| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 08:52 AM PDT Since being younger, I've never had the confidence I would wish to have. I've suffered with anxiety and depression for years due to things I would rather not discuss and I suppose subsequently I've turned to unhealthy food options and sugary sodas, especially after the recent passing of my dad. But close family members have nitpicked at my weight, comparing me to other girls my age and its just hurt me and stopped me wanting to persevere at my weight loss journey and go back to my unhealthy habits. Is there anyone who has been through similar issues? How did you manage to overcome them? Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| 2 Month Progress need Chest Recommendations Posted: 15 Jul 2021 06:27 PM PDT So far I have been pretty happy with my progress so far but am looking to build my chest a bit bigger and am looking for some recommendations. Here is my current progress over the last two months: My routine mainly consists of:
My jump rope I do as much as the weather permits since it can be either too hot or raining outside. This is the ab routine I have been doing, completing level 4 but will probably start adding level 5 soon. I don't have access to a gym and don't have much space, I have a set of resistance bands I have yet to really use but am not against adding a weighted vest or some free weights into my routine. Any thoughts or recommendations? [link] [comments] |
| How to not find bodyweight/bodybuilding and exercising... boring? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 04:42 AM PDT Hi, I hope this won't trigger people but I have a question and it's quite problematic for me. By this post I'm not suggesting that bodyweight fitness and bodybuilding are boring in general. It's just a ME problem. I find them boring for my own reasons. I'm 25M, skinny fat, 176cm (5'9) and currently weigh 78kg (171lbs). I have done taekwondo in my teenage years, didn't make a lot of muscle, and during the pandemic I've attempted many times to do bodyweight fitness and going to the gym but I always fail. My longest run I think was 1 month and a half during which I made some progress, but after that I couldn't last a week. And it's not like I lose motivation or give in to my vices, it's just I genuinely find it boring. I'd rather ride my bike for a couple of hours than repeat the same exercise 30 times in 6 sets or whatever. The whole thing feels meaningless to me. It's like when I start exercising I just can't wait for it to end and get home already. I don't want you all to get the impression that I'm lazy or whatever. In contrast for example, I enjoy dieting and losing weight. Figuring out the food, prepping it and Later eating it has always been an enjoyable experience and there has always been new healthy foods to discover and new recipes to try. But with exercising, I'm doing the same exercises over and over again only to be done with it and then come next week and do it all over. I don't mind the pain. I don't mind the trip I take to the gym or the park. It's just I find the act of exercising boring and I can't get myself to enjoy it. With riding my bike, I'm never bored because I get to see new places and landscapes. And I started to think that maybe I'm doing something wrong, or if there's something that I can do that's more enjoyable and allows me to get fit... I don't know. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 05:33 AM PDT I've read the FAQ and I've also read on RR. I'm M18, 5'7 and 180 pounds. I'm trying to change myself physically in the best possible. For the past year, I've done this mentally, but physically, I've always had a problem ever since I was a child. My body just wasn't able to keep up with the energy that I had towards physical activity. I've done exercises before, but they were always done on and off. This is a workout routine that I've come up with and I would like advice on it:
Would I need to take running and the 7 Minute Workouts from the workout and put them into another day? I'm quite confused with this and I'm intrigued. I'm not a big fan of weight training, but I do have fun when I'm doing calisthenics so that is also another thing to keep in mind (resistance bands is kind of like weighted calisthenics so I don't count it to be like that). In terms of RR, some of the exercises are problematic for me (such as deadlift) so I created this plan. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 07:13 AM PDT I'm going to cut straight to the point: I used to be fat, then got very lean, and then got very fat because I became lazy during covid. I used to weigh 80kg, but I gained 15kg and I now weigh 95kg. I want to become fit again and lose weight because being fit is actually quite fun, and most of all the health benefits. Diabetes is a recurring disease in my family, and I don't want to give it any chance to get me. Also, me still being able to do a pull up after gaining 15kg motivated me massively. I kind of have a plan, but I'm not sure if it's right, so feedback would be appreciated. I want to workout 6 days a week, doing 3 days of cardio and 3 days of strength training. For cardio I want to do either cycling or running. Which one would be better? I'm more comfortable with cycling, because I usually bike to school every day, but I'm willing to run if it's better for me. For the strength training I'm going to do calisthenics, dividing the days between push, pull and leg. Besides training I also plan to eat and live more healthy, which includes tracking my calories again using Yazio and going to bed and getting up at the same time everyday, I'll be tracking my sleep with Sleepcycle. I plan on having one cheat day on saturday. I have an endomorph bodytype and will be 17 in 3 weeks, and I'm 177cm tall. [link] [comments] |

| Increasing the Frequency in my Routine Posted: 16 Jul 2021 07:10 AM PDT Hey, my name is jeff, And i wanted to change my routine up because i prevoiusly did a Push/Pull/Legs Routine, now in the beggining it sort of worked but this routine i was following was made by a bodybuilder and little by little i started gearing towards Calisthenics since it appealed way more to me honestly, and started using Crossfit Rings aswell as changing my routine up, plus the bodybuilder had a lot of volume i tried to replace Exercises with the calisthenics subsitutes, Push ups, Dips, Handstand Push Ups, little by little i felt like i needed to change the whole thing up after 8 months of training where it is where i am currently at right now, i decided i need to make my own routine because first of all i felt like the Days where i trained for my Calisthenics Goals where way to far apart i want them to be way more frequent, so a coach helped design a Periodization PLan, I plan on using DUP since i read it tends to work best for calisthenics, also since i am going increase Frequency i guess i need to vary the Intensity to make it happen Right? Here are my Goals Push: Planche, Planche Push - ups, nice aesthatic legs Pull: Front Lever Rows, Back Lever, Iron Cross, One arm Chin ups aswell as weighted Core: V-Sit, Manna I do Cardio aswell Now i have had a little bit of trouble trying to construct a routine for my self, i read this book Overcoming Gravity and Well, and im not quite sure about how to make my routine, also including legs, also i read that handstand Push ups and Presses had the most carry over to Planche so that's what i decided to include them, also i suck at handstanding i would like recomendations on how to improve handstand I want to Start a Push/Pull 6x a Week Frequency Of 3x i have 8 months of training and i was thinking about a Push Routine that would be something like this of course including Legs Push: Planche Push ups Progressions (Tuck PLanche Push ups is my current) Handstand Push ups (plan on using bands to vary intensity for DUP) Handstand Presses And maybe here is where upper body ends? and i do weighted Walking Lunges, Nordic Ham Curls or One Stiff leg Deadlifts? For Pull, here is where i get confusion i read that it is better to get Back lever First since it gets the connective tissue for the Front, but i am not quite sure how to plan it since, i think that perhaps doing transitions would be better? i was doing Front to back lever transitions but now, i am not sure, how to get the back lever i was Placing it first and Doing a Full back lever hold with band assisted, i was also thinking about a transition like Tuck Front lever row to back lever, muscle up and back to back lever but perhaps i shouldn't do Transitions yet? My Pull was looking something like this Back Lever Holds With Band assisted Front Lever Rows (on current Progression) One arm Chin Ups Eccentrics, Band assited Concentric (Or Weighted Pull Ups) Deadlift Compression work i Start every Routine with A Warm - Up, Mobility, Positional Drills and then get into the strength, and end it with stretching then i do cardio, i plan on using Bands To Adjust intensity for the DUP, for example i can do 5 HSPU against wall, i plan on using bands to match Light Day On my DUP for example and get 15, and then decrease the band on medium and then do them without bands, also tuck planche Push ups i use bands and then decrease intensity an bam, i do my current progressio and not something like PPPU because i feel like nothing is going to help me improve then spending time in the position of the tuck planche Would like opinions, suggestions, i usually find my core weak at the end of the workout i have been trying to get V-SIT but perhaps imy core is so weak at end, [link] [comments] |
| Does greasing the groove work for doing 5 different exercises per session? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 10:41 AM PDT Hi guys, I'd like to know if greasing the groove works when you don't do 1 or 2 different exercises at a time, but 5. I plan to do 10 sessions a day, with 30min rest in between each session. Each session contains doing push ups, pull ups, squats, dumbbell curls and dips back to back to back. I plan to rest 1 day a week by working out 6 days in a row and resting on the 7th day. Each day (except the 7th day), 40min before my first greasing the groove session, I also do a 25min ab workout (7min workout and then 3 different exercises totalling 8 sets with 1min rest in between). I'm relatively new to working out and am completely clueless if this is a good workout plan. And because I'm new I'm also completely clueless if the greasing the groove method works in this way. If you guys know more about this, please help me out :) I thank you guys in advance and wish you all an amazing day!! [link] [comments] |
| Is supported full front lever more effective than the progressions? Posted: 16 Jul 2021 05:07 AM PDT I am wondering if doing full front lever with support is more effective than doing progressions without support because of how the arms are positioned differently compared to the rest of the body. It kind of reminds me how doing elevated push ups is a common progression for push ups even though it targets stuff a little different. The reason I am asking is because someone said that the normal progressions are bad, and someone have said the opposite, I don't know what is more effective or if it even matters. (The bot says this is a low effort post just because I don't have that much text, but I don't know why a question can't be simple. I can't find any information on this which is why I am asking here, but since the bot does not let me through, I am just gonna add a bunch of meaningless text that you don't have to read (this).

| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 12:21 AM PDT Ever since I started bodyweight, I trained front lever and planche on separate days ~approx twice a week. But for a long while now, both have stalled progress. I was slightly devastated and was itching to go back to training when I caught the flu two weeks ago and couldnt train properly. After 2 weeks of recovery (I did train FL and planche on one occasion while I was sick), and no training, I hit my PBs on both FL and planche. I was amazed that even though I stopped training, I still not only maintained my strength but made improvements. This leads me to my thought - had my frequency been too high for too long? Should I reduce each movement to once per week? Or perhaps my volume is too intense? My FL and planche days usually consist of 4x Max holds followed by 3-4 accessories for max reps (I stop when form breaks down). Im now considering having a strength day a week, training both FL and planche together, with other days being dedicated to handstands, mobility, joint prep, etc (I also run). Thoughts anyone?

| Posted: 16 Jul 2021 05:47 AM PDT In my past moments of physical activity, I've made my body less conducive to oily foods and sweets. Just yesterday, my mom "forced" some oily food onto me which prompted me to almost barf it out (luckily I didn't actually barf it out). Either way, I'm looking for some tips on nutrition. I'm 5'7, M, 18, and 180 pounds so I'm guessing that I would need to be a on a caloric deficit. Another factor to keep in mind is that there is a good chance that in the future I'll be cooking for myself in the dorms. So far, these are the foods I've bought for better nutrition.
What other foods do you think I can buy for better nutrition? It would also be greatly appreciated if anyone could link me to somewhere that has healthy food recipes. I have been looking for an meal plan (without pork due to religious reasons) overall, but if anyone has any advice on this matter, please let me know. Thank you so much! [link] [comments] |

| Most effective calisthenics routine Posted: 15 Jul 2021 07:10 AM PDT Hey, Like the title said, I'm looking for the most effective calisthenics routine. Today was my first day of recommended routine, and during workout, I felt that ,, I can't do it anymore! " but i still manage to complete it. But after workout... I didn't feel that tired at all (,,only" my muscles were shaking, but i still feel like I can do more). Also, I didn't find much RR transformations on google (there was plenty of PPL transformations tho). Well, I still like the routine and I think I'm just gonna increase reps and complete it anyway. But... is there any, more efficient, workout than Recommended Routine? Is PPL more effective? (Btw I can train only calisthenics, gym in my country is too expensive and I'm only 17) Sorry for poor english skills and thanks for eventual answers! Edit: after one day, I can't even move - everything hurts [link] [comments] |
| Tips for Endurance Workout (Intermediate) Posted: 15 Jul 2021 11:56 AM PDT Hi, I'm 18 years old and I've been practicing Calisthenics for a year and a half. I don't have many videos of my statics or something, but I can do: Lsit and Advanced Lsit, Vsit, OAFL, Front Lever (retracted) and some pullups, Victorian on parallel, bars, Back Lever, Handstand and some Pushups, One Arm Pushup, One Arm Dip (only right arm) Iron CrossAdvanced Tuck Planche, among others. My problem is: I have focused on strength training since 10 months and don't have endurance. In a row, I can do like 10 pullups or 27-30 dips. I didn't know endurance helps tendons to stay safe from injury and now I have elbow pain haha. I want to restart my training from zero (Endurance). May you help me to create a Endurance Workout for me? P. D. I have a couple of rings. Feel free to add rings exercises. P. D.2. Thanks for helping me haha. And sorry for my English, it isn't my main languague. [link] [comments] |
| Strengh and hypetrophy at the same time Posted: 15 Jul 2021 01:32 AM PDT hu guys, i'm doing calisthencs since 4 years and i'm searching for some advices. i wan't to learn skills such FL and Planche. i am 1.79cmx73 kg i can do 2-3 Ring Mu,L-sit on rings, 1 pull up with 25 kg and i have 12 sec of one leg Fl with perfect form. My question is: it does make sense to do an upper workout with strenght and hypertrophy combined?(for example 5x5 Fl,5x5 planche AND AFTER 3x12 pull ups, 3x12 dips or whatever). Or maybe is better to separate the workouts in strenght day and hypertrophy days? note: i have noticed huge progress in a short period of time with the DUP. (going through a adv tuck FL to straddle in one month, but due to lack of training, i lost it). [link] [comments] |

| Pull up competition in 10 days. Posted: 14 Jul 2021 11:09 PM PDT My gym is having a pull up competition in 10 days. I mostly lift weights but I've been doing pull ups probably 2-3x a week for the past 4 years or so. On my last pull workout I busted out 17 straight overhand pull ups with good form. I have time for 4 more pull-up workouts and a rest period of 3 days before the competition to fully recover. I'm hoping I'll be able to bust out 20+, maybe closer to 25. Does anyone have any tips for increasing pull ups really quickly? I know I won't gain much muscle or strength in 10 days, more like get my body into the groove of doing high rep pull ups and work on technique. The manager at the gym said he believes they are going to have everyone do 1 set each of overhand, neutral grip and underhand, then add them all together and see who gets the most. Is this the same way I should be doing my training? EDIT: Gym manager confirmed you have to do 1 set of each of underhand-neutral grip-overhand in that order and whoever gets the most total wins. This is unfortunate for me cuz I have bad wrists and chin ups give me wrist pain. Going to limit myself to try to do 8-10 chin ups on my first set and then go balls to the wall for the next 2 sets. Hoping I'll be able to get somewhere between 35-40 reps over 3 sets [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jul 2021 11:38 PM PDT Hi I recently got a new job (Job is basically a labor) I'm doing hard physical labor burning roughly 2500-3000 calories a day, I assume I'm going to lose weight in the process currently 300lbs, 320 when I started was wondering a healthy way to make sure I don't have mass excessive skin if I do lose a ton of weight was wondering good diets to follow while losing and burning this amount of calories, I was thinking of incorporating the gym maybe 3x a week (fairly hard considering I'm working 12 hours a day lifting a 50lb item 800 times a day from feet left to head high.) I believe the weight will come off on it's on but I'd like a smooth progression if possible. [link] [comments] |
| Are handstands a no-no when you’re overweight? Posted: 14 Jul 2021 02:16 PM PDT I am 1.65m, weighing between 80-85kg. That's a lot of weight to put on my wrists... recently I started being more active (resistance and mobility training) and I found a course I would like to do. It is meant to strengthen your core, possibly with the intention of learning handstands. A lot of the exercises shift the majority of your weight onto your hands/wrists. Should I refrain from doing such exercises? I've seen bigger people doing these things but I don't know how their wrists put up with it in the long run. I'm also a hobby musician which 1.) also puts strain on my wrists and 2.) would mean I would be plenty mad if I damaged them ;) [link] [comments] |
| Will Weighted Pistol Squats? Build Mass? Posted: 14 Jul 2021 06:33 PM PDT Hey, So basically i don't like to do Back Or Front Squats, i tried them both for a while and i couldn't progress aftera a certain point it has been like this for 6 months now, although i did progress on leg press, but now i am in new gym, only Free Weights, part of the reason i think i don't like them is because i am afraid of going to failure on them, just because i can fall and injury, on other exercises i can go to absolute Failure i like this More, So my Question is Will Weighted Pistol Squats Builld meh Legs? i read that muscle only recognises Tension, I would be also doing some heavy Walking Lunges, i saw someone at the gym with huge legs and he didn't squat he walked Lunged, and had some BIG Quads I read that Peoples flexibility mobility and what not would make it more of a balance or stretch, ihve flexibiltiy when i squatted i used to go ATG Squat Anyway so i have more then the mobility needed it would be purely strength & balance for ne [link] [comments] |
