| How Can I Build Strength and Mobility Together? Posted: 26 Jul 2021 06:12 AM PDT I've done different types of training before including the usual gym splits, bodyweight and gymnastics training, but never found a good routine that I could be consistent with. These days I'm into climbing and exploring more about gaining mobility and strength through ranges of motion to move better on the walls. I've been watching a lot of Strength Side on youtube and like their approach to joining together Strength and mobility. My ultimate goal is to maybe achieve 10-15lbs max more muscle across all areas of my body, but be much more open in my hips and legs (and upper body too). Basically I want to gain some size but not get tighter in the process. Can anyone recommend a routine, program or resource that would be useful? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Are 'Doorframe rows' a decent alternative to rows when you have no other option? Posted: 26 Jul 2021 04:36 AM PDT Hi everyone, Apologies for the stupid question here. A few days ago I started with the BwF-Prime routine to get into the mindset of exercising and to slowly aim for a more healthier and fitter lifestyle. I am now at the part where the "Rows" will be added to the fitness routine. I have tried doing table rows, but the table I have is not suited to to the exercise on. I have tried doing the bed-sheet rows, but it managed to get my door stuck a few times and it took one hell of a time to get it to open up again. So I decided to do reverse-pushups in the corner of a wall with some good success, but I also ran into this video right here where someone explains 'Doorframe rows' Are they good alternative to the bedsheet/table row if I have no other choice? or does it seem unsafe to do? I believe some people recommend pull-ups mainly, but I am a little worried how my doorframe will hold up. While doing these "doorframe rows" my doorframe seems to shift along a little bit, and I am not sure if it would support me well if I would hang up a pull-up bar. [link] [comments] |
| Old school calisthenics workout challenges Posted: 26 Jul 2021 06:29 AM PDT I know it's stupid but sometimes we have to challenge ourselves. So give me some of your favourite workout challenges. Here are some that I used frome the top of my head -100 or 150 or 200 pull ups each time you let go od the bar you do 10 or 12 push ups. Then you do the same number of dips and each time you can go any more you do 10 or 12 rows -15 to 30 mins of 4 to 6 pull ups and 6-8 dips, minimal rests
Give me something fun that you used to do or are still doing. Cheers all [link] [comments] |
| Loss of Strength Normal or Abnormal for My Conditions? Posted: 26 Jul 2021 12:18 PM PDT Last time I remember regularly running, doing bodyweight exercises, and lifted weights: December 2020. Weightlifting aside (losing half of my strength as my numbers I've recorded indicate), I used to be able to do 3 sets of 45 push-ups with light-moderate difficulty as I was building up the number of push-ups I could do just for personal fitness. Started doing my pre-COVID routines a month ago, and I've noticed that I can barely do 15. Abnormal or normal loss of strength? I'm aware that after a few months/about a year after inactivity and bad body habits, losing half your strength is normal. What I'm concerned about is the balance though (looking at a deadlift number shortened by half is very easy to quantify loss of strength, whereas going from 45 push-ups to 15 push-ups by comparison seems alarming). If it's abnormal so be it, if it's normal, well, time to be patient and work my way back up since I have my life together again! Some other similar numbers for reference: Pull-ups: 3 sets of 12, currently doing assisted pullups--non-assisted I can only manage to do 3 proper form quality pull-ups Planks: 3 sets of 2 minutes flat and on each side, currently doing 1 minute for all 3 I don't know if this counts, but-- ab wheel: can still do 4 sets of 8 proper form roll-outs since starting again [link] [comments] |
| Training each muscle group twice a week compared to only once Posted: 26 Jul 2021 12:23 AM PDT Hello. I have training calisthenics for almost 2 years, following a 3-day PPL split, and have achieved great strength and hypertrophy results. However, in hopes of achieving faster results I have been contemplating increasing my frequency from 3 to 6 days per week. I expect by doing this I will have to lower my intensity slightly to avoid burnout, but my weekly volume will still be significantly greater than before. My routine currently looks like the following: Monday (Push): - 3x25s Planche Lean - 3x7 Pseudo Planche Pushups - 3x9 Pike Pushups - 3x10 Dips - 3x11 Diamond Pushups - 3x11 Pushups Wednesday (pull): - 3x4 Muscle Ups - 3x17s Tuck Front Lever - 3x7 Pull Ups - 3x8 Chin Ups - 3x9 Horizontal Rows - 3x7 Scapula Pull Ups Friday (legs): - 3x11 Jump Squats - 3x6 BW Leg Extensions - 3x11 Single Leg Hamstring Bridges - 3x12 Calf Raises - 3x10 Seated Pike Compressions - 3x18s Floor L-Sit If I lower my reps by 1-2 per set, but perform the exercises twice per week compared to one, am I expected to see significant faster results?
