| I'm struggling to escape the skinny fat vortex... Posted: 21 Jul 2021 03:23 AM PDT I am a 34 year old guy blessed with a very Napoleonic stature of 5"1. Shout out to my fellow shortys. Anywho, I am really struggling to escape the skinny fat vortex and thought i'd post here to see if i'm missing something?? Been working out on and off for about 5 years but became a bit of a slob during the months of the UK lockdown and experienced a hard break-up which didn't help eating and drinking habits. Happy days. So, I decided to get my shit together. Since Nov 2020 i've been doing bodyweight/free weight routines consistently, tracking calories and weighing myself weekly. I'm a small guy and fairly slight but always had lots of fat around my stomach and 'love handles'. Just winning that genetic lottery all the way. Did a cut first based on working out my TDEE and settled on 1900 cals with around 90g protein (I was 8st 3 or 115 pounds when I started cut). During the 12 week cut I made real progress on my belly and side fat, got some modest lean muscle and my back got shredded. Also had the noticeable veins in my arms which I'd always wanted. BUT, overall I was losing weight, my trousers were falling off me, neck seemed to get skinnier. It seemed the price to pay for losing the belly fat was getting more 'petite?!' Now, I wanted to start packing on some lean muscle and in June 2021 I decided to embark on Tom Merrick's (Bodyweight Warrior YouTube) progressive, bodyweight routine for mass. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57e50bc4d1758e426f43ec5d/t/5ada0951f950b799c203cf0c/1561539492490/The+Bodyweight+Warrior+eBook+V3.pdf So I decided to up my calories to around 2200 a day. 5 weeks in and the belly fat has returned. I feel like I can't win!? For info: I do at least 10,000 steps a day and on top of my hour long full body split sessions three times a week I try and squeeze two good HIIT sessions in for fat loss. TLDR: Skinny fat guy here, when I cut I get lean but lose weight seem to get smaller overall, when I go on a slight calorie increase the belly fat returns. I can't win, halp. Edit: Date started new routine [link] [comments] |
| Planche advice for zero equipment training Posted: 21 Jul 2021 11:20 AM PDT Hey bodyweight athletes! I'm on the road to getting full planche. Currently, I can hold an advanced tuck for about 15 seconds. I can do about 2-3 reps of advanced tuck pushups. Other calisthenics skills I can do: L-sit, Handstand and HSPU Just like in my title, I have no access to any equipment (bands, weight vest, dumbells, paralletes or bars). But I still want to get full planche. So I need advice on anything that I can incorporate into my training to help me progress to full. I train my planche with GTG because I'm a medical student, always having to study. But I'd still love to attain planche Right now I do the advanced tuck holds and pushups, planche leans and pseudo planche pushups or. Is that all I'll need or... what else? [link] [comments] |
| I am confused about how to start. Posted: 20 Jul 2021 10:58 PM PDT TLDR: I have a BMI of 24. I want to lose weight in the belly area. And I want to gain mass in the arm area. Age: 23(M) Weight: 76 kg/167.55 pounds Height: 5 feet 9 inch/175.26cm BMI: 24 Arms: 11.3 inch(rest) Belly:36 inch Chest 36 inch I am confused on how to get atleast a flat stomach and reasonable biceps. I am really skinny when it comes to my arms(I have 11 inch arm since grade 7) while I have a big belly. I have read that arms get smaller on losing weight. If that's true will my already super skinny arms become more thin? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| How do I strengthen my lower back? Posted: 21 Jul 2021 07:31 AM PDT Well I am 21F, I was overweight almost all my teenage years, and this pandemic made me want to get into shape. It has been a year and a couple of months, since I got into fitness, for entire one year I did HIIT and cardio stuff, didn't pay a lot of attention to my diet, I did lose weight, I lost almost 10 kgs and now I am 65 kgs, my height is 5'4 , and my problematic area is similar to most of the ladies out there, my lower body. I don't have dumbbells or any sort of weights at home, so I decided to get into bodyweight strength training, to tone up. I am following Joanna Soh. I trained for 6 days continuously using her bodyweight strength training videos and I developed a very bad lower back pain, I rested for like 10 days and this week I am strength trained for like 4 days a week and did 2 days of cardio , however I have again developed a lower back pain. I don't want to take a break again. Please help. [link] [comments] |
| Would weighted BW exercises yield similar results to lifting? Posted: 21 Jul 2021 10:40 AM PDT Normally I wouldn't even compare the two types of exercising (body weight vs lifting weights) or think they have different results, but after reading a lot about this, I see a lot of people saying that lifting weights is superior to body weight fitness if your goal is aesthetics/lean muscle mass. I don't really see how this could be true considering body weight fitness is also essentially weight lifting in a lot of ways bc you're working with your bodyWEIGHT, but maybe there is something I'm missing. Is lifting weights truly more efficient for aesthetics? One of my goals has always been to be proud of how my body looks & body weight fitness hasn't got me there yet. In fact, it just keeps causing injuries. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2021 10:37 AM PDT Hi, I'm 21 years old, I'm a former amateur athlete (muay thai) I've been at home for 2 years, both because of the pandemic and for personal reasons. While I was 76 kg 2 years ago, today I saw that I weighed 125 kg! I also have lumbar lordosis. Will calisthenic fix my posture? I'm preparing for the new university, so I have 1 year and I want to lose weight and get a shaped body by working at home during this time.First of all, do you have a suggestion for an exercise plan that I can follow for 1 year or even more? I can work regularly 4 days a week, even at 5, I can spare a maximum of 1.5 hours [link] [comments] |
| Unmotivated after 1 year of working out Posted: 21 Jul 2021 09:57 AM PDT Today officially marks one year since I started working out. Using a pair of dumbells and a pull-up bar for the first few months bulking way too much ahead of my TDEE and gaining fat but with some muscle. I then got rings around December then started doing basically only callisthenics until now (July). I'm not gonna lie I haven't been consistent nor has my diet been perfect the whole year but I kept trying and never quit. After not being happy with my midsection and the amount of fat I gained, I went into a recomp around 1 month ago but sadly fell off my diet and ate too little food from what I wanted a 200-300 deficit, I was still training though. Now I feel plateaued on all exercises. Ring chinups have been stuck at 4x5 for weeks now same with pike pushups not being able to do 3x7. Feels like forever I made some progress maybe I should track my diet much more stricter? TLDR: I have been getting my diet back in check but I just feel terrible with the progress I made over the year and was even thinking of just doing weights as progress is easier to track and maybe a bit better for hypertrophy but I love training outside and still want to do things such as ring mu and handstand press. If anyone can give me advice I would appreciate it! Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| How do i "cheat" my pushup reps? Posted: 20 Jul 2021 03:51 PM PDT So in the armed forces, we have a test for max pushups in under 1 minute. The max repetitions/points is 60 pushups in under a minute. Of course halfway through, especially when you're heavy and don't really have much endurance, you'll experieke fatigue and will slow down the reps or even rest. So my question is, how do you "cheat" your reps? Do i maybe adjust my shoulders for the first few reps to pull back, to let the tension go to my chest, afterwards slouching forward to let the tension now go to my shoulders? Do i push myself up with my feet, or do i do wormish kind of pushups? The instructors will check for proper form pushups, but obviously they won't see everything precisely. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 09:05 PM PDT I used to be a big weight lifter as I was varsity volleyball through high school and loved to lift. Last year was my first year at college and I completely stopped for some reason and starting gaining weight, going from 145 muscled up to 165 not. It's the summer now before I go back to school again and I really want to get back into lifting. Only problem? I have no clue how do get myself motivated to get started again or actually go and keep going. My depression/BPD has been ruthless and just thinking about going to the gym has me in low spirits. How do I get back into weightlifting and going to the gym regularly? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jul 2021 07:33 AM PDT My weekly workout normally consists of Monday: Upperbody workout (Sometimes HIIT) using 2, 20lb dumbbells' (20-25 minutes) Tuesday: Rest, maybe go for a run, or a long walk, etc Wednesday: Chest workout using 20lb dumbbells' (21 minutes) Thursday: Back and Bicep using 20lb dumbbells' (30 minutes) Friday: Chest, Shoulder, Tricep using 15lb dumbbells' (30 minutes) (Uber eats cheat day). Saturday and Sunday: 30-40 minute run of 6km. And I try to burn 200-400 calories a day from walking. Is this a good workout schedule? I've never really had criticism about it so I'd like to know if what I'm doing is good or bad. I only have 1 set of dumbbells' When should I increase the weight of dumbbells? I'm tempted to buy a pull up bar, but I don't know if It'll improve my gain or not, and I'm not the best at pull ups, I could really only do 1 rep. I'd appreciate any and all advice, thank you so much [link] [comments] |
| Mixed my passion with my new body journey. Posted: 21 Jul 2021 05:19 AM PDT So, I'm a chunky boy, I've tried many times to lose body fat with no real results - I've started doing it properly last month, with the goal of increasing strength and dropping body fat percentage through a proper calorie deficit and a high protein intake. Music is at my core, so I decided to sum up my months workout (20 days in total) into a short and snappy song https://soundcloud.com/shodah/show-them-strength The beaut on the album cover is a good friend of mine, who is going to take my workouts to the next level in August. I feel like this is it now, I will see results if I keep pushing myself - I'm going in fully committed, which is a task on its own! Can't wait to see what the results will be in 6 months time!

| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 02:43 PM PDT I am limited in space and don't trust the strength of the thin walls/door frames where I live to put up a pull up bar in the door frame, would it work and be safe to do pull ups from a dip station and start in the seated position? I reckon it would work my core as well since I would have to keep my legs up in order to not touch the floor, but does anyone do that? I would also use it for rows and such. I would use something like this Thank you [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 20 Jul 2021 05:07 PM PDT Got a dope workout for y'all! x1 Burpees x2 Pushups x3 Squats x4 Situps Beginner: 10x2 For example: 10 burpees, 20 pushups, 30 squats, 40 situps, repeat. Increase every 2 weeks by 1: 10x3, 10x4, so on and so forth until you reach 10x10. If this is progression is too fast, increase each month instead of two weeks. Remember to switch up the exercises as well! Instead of normal burpees do 2-Pumps or Navy Seals. Instead of normal pushups do diamond or wide. Instead of squats do lunges or calf raises. Instead of situps do leg raises or crunches. Switch it up weekly, daily, or monthly!! Do this workout daily. Make sure to warmup and stretch! [link] [comments] |
