Half an hour of Navy Seal + Body Builder Burpees, Pull up and squats. Posted: 18 Jul 2021 05:07 AM PDT I started doing high rep burpees during the second lockdown here in Germany. Lockdwn is over, I'm still doing my high rep workouts and I'm still enjoying them.   I started in October. The focus was simply on high rep burpees ala Iron Wolf. He does a lot of burpees and a lot of counting. I already find it difficult to count correctly in classic gym exercise - and then we are in a range of 12 repetitions. Accordingly, I didn't find it that cool to count higher numbers of repetitions. Thankfully, technology offers a solution and a workout timer app takes over the counting.   Another advantage: the load over the workout remains the same, the duration can be planned and your own performance is easier to measure.   Progress For the last 3 months, I haven't felt like I've made that much progress in performance, increasing the speed of my workouts, by a few percent, occasionally doing a workout with a higher number. I'm sure one of the reasons for this is that normal life is back again and, since I'm not an ascetic, I now enjoy things like restaurants and bars again. Nevertheless, I am still at a high level (by my standards) in terms of strength and cardio. Progress is being made in the workout design, as I am in the process of expanding my pure high-rep burpee workouts to include more basic bodyweight exercises. As in the linked video, there are now also squats and pull ups.   The workout I'm switching between two sequences: 1) Bodybuilder Burpee, Pull Up, Squat 2) Navy Seal Burpee, Pull Up, Squat   Pace: 24 seconds per repetition. I've choosen that pace, since I takes me about 12 seconds to finish one sequence. So it's a 50/50 split between activity and rest.   Today the workout was actually a bit more uncomfortable than usual, because on the one hand it was quite warm and on the other hand the humidity was quite high. Therefore, I felt almost a bit overheated after 10 minutes.   Video   https://youtu.be/_wjWDQtJDqs At 1:30 the workout starts, youtube takes some time to get my cutting live.   Warning: Check this post about high repetition plank/push-up/squad challenges from the FAQ: If you're looking to get into exercising, you typically have some kind of goals like "look better naked" or "get stronger". While these challenges might influence your body composition a little, there are much better ways to go about changing that. There is a certain injury risk associated with this kind of challenge. The advantage over plank/push-up/squad challenges: You have a more hollistic workout if you do burpees. Make sure that you have variances in your workouts. submitted by /u/naechsteanmeldung [link] [comments]

Headaches previously from pull-ups, now from any exercise Posted: 18 Jul 2021 09:26 AM PDT Long story: About a month ago I had my first headache while doing normal pull-ups. I started reading about this issue here on reddit and corrected my head position, that helped a lot. Breathing was never the issue, i have always been breathing like they tell you to. The problem with the headache kind of went away, i just continued with my workouts (pull up bar and gymnastics rings, focusing on pull-up, dip and muscle up). At the same time, i got into planche progressions and had no issue with pain there. I always warm up well before doing any calisthenics exercise. The recent issue: I'm currently visiting family in another country in a small village (no calisthenics park whatsoever) and brought my rings with me. I hung them on a big tree which is really nice and works well for doing some exercises. Three days ago i was doing some dips and because people are around and its hard to focus, i kind of neglected my shoulder position, doing dips in kind of a shrug position. It literally hit me like a lightning strike in the back of my head, i was sitting on the floor trying not to scream. Since then, i constantly have this slight feel of pressure/pain in the back of my head and if I try to do anything (push ups or fast walking for example) it starts to hurt. Admittedly, it is over 35°C every day and I'm not used to that kind of heat, but i try to stay out of the sun and my daily water intake is over 3 liters. Does anyone have some advice for me? Some information about myself: 18 years old, 175cm, 67kg, have been doing a bit of gymnastics since i was little and calisthenics with bar and rings for about a year but very inconsistently, but have been pushing some more consistence into my routine the past two months. I really don't want to quit working on my ring muscle up and av. tuck planche this week as its really boring here and i have been on it the past few weeks, i might go see a physical therapist here but i can only get a serious check up at a doctor when i'm back home in a week. submitted by /u/olli1505 [link] [comments]

Are there any updated or improved progression charts? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 07:49 AM PDT About 10 years ago I spotted a 20 level exercise progression chart on BodyWeightCulture.com (Table below as link no longer exists) and about 7 years ago I spotted this document which appears to have better progression. I was wondering if there is anything similar made more recently or if there has been any improvements or recommendations to them.

Inverted Dip - Overlooked excercise to build lateral deltoids and upper trapezius, but is it worth it? Posted: 18 Jul 2021 02:20 AM PDT My routine is antagonist movement based. Chin-up & HSPU / Row & Push-up / Reverse Fly & Chest Fly.. you get the idea. But I also like to have dips in my routine, so I was looking for antagonist excercise for them. Only common excercise I came across were Pelicans / Hefesto, but I think its more antagonist to Triceps Dip than to regular Dip. So I came up with little unusal solution - Inverted Dip. And I actually like it! It is easy to progress. You can start band assisted (band around neck) or wrap your legs around ring straps and do "reverse squats" to help yourself going through full ROM. To make it harder, you can do Bulgarian or Archer variations, or put that resistance band around your knees / feets. Or simply add weight (but I would recommend weight vest instead of dip belt, haha) It helps build lateral deltoids (especially if you progress toward bulgarian variation) and upper trapezius, which are both often neglected in BW training. Even though I consider this more bodybuilding excercise than something you do for any sort of skills, I also noticed that it can help with Front Lever Row and it is also good If you plan to work towards Elevator (Reverse Muscle-up), but this is actually easiest part of that skill. What do you think about it? Is it good excercise to include in BW routine when bodybuilding? Or are there some better alternatives as antagonist excercise for Dip? I never seen anyone actually training it, so you can let me know why is that. Edit:I made a short video for better idea of how I think this can be done.

Doing a tactical barbell Zulu I/A strength template mixed with kettlebell training, thinking about adding hypertrophy with gym rings Posted: 18 Jul 2021 11:57 AM PDT Hey everyone first time posting here! First of all i want to apologize for my English. Like I said in the title I'm currently doing a tactical barbell Zulu template with a cluster of squat/bench, deadlift/OHP/Weighted Pull-ups for strength 4 times a week, then for conditioning on Mondays i do a 20kg KB descending snatches-clean-swing, a routine that I found on the book Kettlebell Rx, on Tuesday and Thursday I do Wod's on Wednesday I do a S&S followed by a 20 to 30 min Armor Building complex with a pair of 20's, on Fridays is either skill training or 10min 28KB swings AMRAP. But I'm thinking about changing it, and instead add a hypertrophy routine with gym rings at least 2 days a week Can someone guide me to a routine? Or am I being to over my head? I'm open to all constructive criticism submitted by /u/DanielPaiva23 [link] [comments]

This routine would be good for pure hypertrophy? (Failure) Posted: 18 Jul 2021 10:10 AM PDT Hello, I can't afford to pay someone for train me, so I made my own routine. I have been doing random pull ups and dips for 2 years, I can do around 13 pull ups and 16 dips max, so I have some base. The routine would be full body 3x per week: 1 muscle up (I can only do one I would try to add another one every week) -3xpull ups near failure -3xdips near failure -3xchin ups near failure -3xdiamond push ups near failure -3xbodyweight rows near failure -3xhanging leg raises near failure I wrote near failure in all exercises because I think it is the best for hypertrophy (like 1-2 reps from failure)? I have almost never done failure in this 2 years, as I said they were just some random pull ups and dips whenever I felt, also with a comfortable number of reps, instead of getting that uncomfortable "burn" submitted by /u/skinny_deacon [link] [comments]

Rate my routine Posted: 17 Jul 2021 08:26 PM PDT Hello All, I was hoping I could get some advice on my current routine. What do you guys think? I'd like to primarily use the routine for building muscle and increasing size. Any and all help is much appreciated! Thank you! M,W,F (Biceps, Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, and Back) Standard Pushup @ 3 sets of 12. Standard Pull Up @ 3 sets of 8. Diamond Push Up @ 3 sets of 8. Chin Up @ 3 sets of 12. Chest dips @ 3 sets of 12. Elevated Pike Press @ 3 sets of 8. T, Th, Sat (Legs and Abs) Squats @ 3 sets of 12. 30 lbs Calf Raises @ 3 sets of 30. Hamstring curls @ 3 sets of 12. Wall Sits @ 45 sec. Knee Raises @ 3 sets of 12. 16lbs Russian Twists @ 3 sets of 12. Leg lifts @ 3 sets of 12. Sunday is rest. I train in a cycle as opposed to straight sets. I like to try and take 30 second rests in between excercises, but I'll sometimes rest longer. Currently I've been struggling to complete all 3 sets but I believe this is due to a lack of sleep and poor diet. I've also been working after long hoop sessions (I know, not the greatest time to workout. I'll rest for about 30 min after hooping and then start the workout, but I have plans to work out in the morning to mitigate this). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you! submitted by /u/Sunny816 [link] [comments]

Core routines and too much variety. Plus, my routine. Posted: 18 Jul 2021 08:27 AM PDT Edit: Realised I should have posted this in the daily thread instead. Morning, all. I've had my fair share of experience doing X number of core exercises in a circuit or following along with routines found on YouTube and started having doubts with it. I thought it was all too much and knowing that my main goal was strength, knew it wasn't the right way to go about it. So I changed all of that and begun to stick with something else, following the RR layout but with different exercises. Only 3/4 exercises rather than a whole long circuit. Though I ask for some verification with this. I would do jacknives, windshield wipers and seated leg lifts. Hanging knee raises if I have access to a pull-up bar. And that's it, done. In my knowledge, I believe that covers pretty much all my core with the intention for building strength, but would like to know if I'm doing anything wrong. Cheers. submitted by /u/Engimada [link] [comments]

Personal experiences with pure progressive calisthenics? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 01:04 PM PDT I've noticed that almost every calisthenics practitioner uses some sort of weight in their training or practice also weighted calisthenics every time they train the basics. I've been wondering how many of you stuck to pure bodyweight training and how were your results. Did you manage to put a good amount of muscle without the use of weights? How did your progressions system work? Do you know any athlete that stuck to pure bodyweight? I would like to hear your experiences, I'm very intrigued, specially since I will move by myself to an apartment for college and I will not have access to weights, and would like to keep making gains. submitted by /u/xavs1610 [link] [comments]

Problem with hinge movement Posted: 18 Jul 2021 04:18 AM PDT Hey guys! So I have been doing something very similar to the recommended routine but I am having some problems with the hinge movement. I started with the first progression (romanian deadlift) but i feel this strange pain behind my knees. I say it is strange because it doesnt feel like regular pain, it feels like a disconfort similar to when i try to stretch, but far greater. I have fairly low flexibility and been thinking that might be the issue. Nonetheless I would like to know if i just keep doing those 3 sets of 5 reps, or if you have any tips for me to improve on that particular movement. Thank you submitted by /u/tenisamp [link] [comments]

Increasing progressions, injuries or am I a pussy Posted: 18 Jul 2021 03:32 AM PDT Hi there, I didn't find such specific question here so hopefully I'm not asking something that is already answered. So I'm doing RR 5 month 3 times per week + 3 times running (5km interval running). Good progress, everything was fine und the chest pain started several weeks ago. I went to doctor and he said that it's chest inflammation because of muscle/tendons overuse and I need to rest for several weeks. Also my wife did RR and has wrist pain now. This is fine and I know that it will heal after some time but I started reading posts about progressions and injuries and I think that there are 0 people who achieved some results without injuries on the way at all. And some people are struggling with them again and again or can't do sport at all now. Even with good warmup, resting days, etc. And the higher progression you do the bigger chance to get a serious injury. So if we are talking about just being healthy and looking okayish (we are eating clean, correct amount of protein/calories) is it possible to avoid injuries at all? Does it make sense to do no progression after certain point. Let's say normal pushups, pullups, dips, cardio not more that 5km, etc. I did previously 1 hour cardio workouts several years (push ups, mountain climber, jumping jacks, etc) which obviously didn't bring that much benefits as strength training but it is extremely difficult to injure myself there for example. I don't want to sound like a pussy but living without injuries until the end of the life is more important to me than be good looking or have some awesome sport skills. I'm open for any suggestions. submitted by /u/ejiqpep [link] [comments]

Trying to get big complications 18m Posted: 17 Jul 2021 12:51 PM PDT Been lanky all my life but have been working out mostly consistently for a year. I have gained good-looking muscle and lost fat, but am unsatisfied with my progress after this long. I have good motivation/form/weight-training knowledge but am still struggling with awkward weight around the chesticle region. I cut for about the first 6 months but then decided to bulk because I didn't have the sufficient muscle for cutting to be worth it. I do occasional cardio but something to note is that I ingest weed paraphernalia and nicotine often. Is it really impacting my progress that much to where I am plateauing? Should I count my calories again? I do a good job of eating greens and good-energy giving food, but also eat fast food occasionally for the bulk. All suggestions appreciated thanks. submitted by /u/bicepmctough [link] [comments]

Will I ever be able to achieve a good-looking/aesthetic body with my hips and large butt (and should I be eating a caloric surplus with my body)? Posted: 17 Jul 2021 02:12 PM PDT I really hate my body and I feel really uncomfortable being an 18 year-old, 5'7, 123 pound guy with an unproportional body. To be honest, I was getting used to seeing my body from a frontal and side view, but I recently saw my back view and I really really hate how "bottom-heavy" I am. Is there any chance at all for me to get an overall good body? I don't think I'm fat, but I think I'm really unproportional (with wide hips and a large butt) and I'm not sure if that's solvable with my body. I have become extra self-conscious now because my back view is very atrocious. I am not sure whether I should go on a caloric surplus or not since I don't want my butt to get even larger, and my body to become more unproportional, so unfortunately, I have no idea what to do. Here is my body (in an unclothed front pic, unclothed back pic, clothed front pic, clothed back pic, and unclothed side pic): https://imgur.com/a/1eLzgrY My ideal body would be something like this (with half the butt size I have): https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFeviF1LlOqa21Fpe4CwIyM2QVk7cXv9VdXiaiSbkj2x_i6l7ctI9_oUDFF-XayU3IpQ8HOfL1mUj7sqMY0SDBsh0Dh3iADPJYyLmEB3rdNzijDg52jzDv9eZ0OCaS-M_U1thy962sL94/s1600/shahrukh+khan+topless.jpg submitted by /u/xmasmidnight [link] [comments]
