| Month five of only bodyweight training! Posted: 03 Jul 2021 08:55 AM PDT Progress: https://imgur.com/zU5mkzv I am really happy with this month's results! I started losing some weight which really brought out my abs, love it. Still doing RR three times a week with running in between. If my Saturday is free, I will do a half-marathon. Really feel comfortable and proud of my work while running bare chested outside. The biggest eye-opener this month was taking breaks from training. I took a whole week off due to being sick, for the first time since I started. I was quite scared that I would lose progress but that was not the case. It felt really great to give your body a break and I felt very energised and strong going back into it. Surprise, I didn't lose any progress. So I will definitely keep this in mind. I am going on a work/holiday trip tomorrow for five days and I will try to just relax and enjoy that. Just switched to a new training app, which has some more progressions, so I am working my way up for front lever and handstand push-ups. Also working on the handstand which is so much harder than I thought! I visited my brother last weekend and we did some indoor bouldering and my new strength really came to light compared to last time we did this. It felt easy and only my fingers got tired. It feels really cool to see your hard work pay off outside of your workouts. My advice this month is to not go too serious and enjoy some breaks from time to time. Keep pushing! [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone fully recovered from a chondrolabral SLAP tear without surgery? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 01:19 AM PDT This is not a post asking for medical advice, I only want to hear about other people's recovery experiences. I'm 27 years old and I've been recently diagnosed with a chondrolabral SLAP tear in my right shoulder, at the insertion point of my long head of biceps. I was into pole fitness for 5+ years and the injury happened as a result of falling off the pole and subluxing my shoulder. In retrospect, I suspect this isn't the first time I've injured it but I was too naive to ask for an MRI the first time, so it was only diagnosed as a rotator cuff sprain/impingement and I was in a sling for a month. I'm currently not in a great deal of pain, unless I load too much weight on my shoulder or hang off it. The most frustrating thing is the lack of stability and strength. I'm naturally hypermobile so the frequent dislocations don't hurt much, as the ball pops back in to the socket by itself. The worst part is having to give up aerial arts, this has been very difficult for me. I've been doing physiotherapy and have seen an orthopaedic surgeon. He didn't give me much advice, he just explained how the surgery was done, and said I could have it if I wanted it. Needless to say, I'm seeking a second opinion from someone else. I want to know your stories, did you get surgery? If yes, do you regret it? Or do you regret not getting it sooner? [link] [comments] |
| Alternative to grease the groove pull ups? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 07:46 AM PDT Hi, So I have started working out again after a longer break, and I remember before I stopped last time that I was unable to advance in pull ups. In general, I have done 12 x 3 pull ups and managed to squueze out 1 muscle up. I should mention that I am 6'4 and 225 pounds, so, not the best starting point of being a "pull up guru". However, I just read about grease the groove program where you are supposed to do 7 - 8 sets each day with 15 - 60 minutes break in between sets and never do them to failure. This program sounds good, but not when you have a job that takes 10 hours of your day, a baby and a house. I can basically squueze in 2 - 3 workouts each week, and they can not last for more than 60 minutes including warm ups. Luckily I have a gym in my home :) So, my question is, is it possible to do an alternative to grease the groove with let's say 5 minutes break in between pull ups where I can do squats, bench press, push ups and so on in between? I tried today to do 5 repetitions for 8 sets with exercises in between and it worked out great. I could easily bang out 8 more after my workout. Will this work to increase my pull ups? And could I do this three times a week? Am I basically messing up the main principles of greasing the groove? [link] [comments] |
| 5 Misconceptions Most Have About Exercise! Posted: 03 Jul 2021 08:52 AM PDT Have exercise misconceptions prevented you from starting an exercise program? Clear up any confusion and let these exercise tips improve your workout routine. Hopefully none of these common exercise myths, mistakes and misconceptions have prevented you from working out.
It is normal for you to hurt after you exercise, but it must be done gradually with a good amount of rest periods to allow proper healing. There are two common problems here with beginning exercisers. You can cause long lasting damage to muscles, tendons and ligaments if you work out while you are in pain, without allowing enough rest time to heal. You might find yourself in constant and long lasting pain if you do this which means that you will no longer be able to exercise. If you wake up the next morning after you exercised and can barely drag your aching body out of bed because everything hurts, you are going to be less motivated to exercise at all. Constant pain is a sure way to kill your exercise program.
Being smart about how you exercise will take you a long way. It is important to have a healthy body so get out there and start exercising today. [link] [comments] |
| Lower maintenance than calculated Posted: 03 Jul 2021 12:59 PM PDT I'm 23 y/o male, 75kg (165 lbs), 187cm. According to many online calculators my maintenance is ~2250 kcal. I workout 4 times per week, and do ~45min cardio 2 times, 1 day of complete rest. But besides that I do barely any additional movements. I sit in a chair all day, move only to bathroom or to eat something, sometimes I go to a shop like once a week. I work and spend my free time infront of a computer. Right now I eat 1700-1900 kcal, and I feel like I'm bulking. I have to force feed myself to hit that calorie range, with healthy food. Ofc. it's easy with junkfood. I try to supplement my protein intake with protein powder, because eating 150+ grams of protein with normal food only would be impossible to me. And my weight also doesn't seem to be dropping. It's stable around 75-76kg. Is it possible that my actual maintenance is around 1800-1900 kcal? (300-400 kcal lower than most calculators indicate) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jul 2021 12:30 AM PDT Hello community I was really really happy to have found you. Since then i stuck to the recommended routine and after reaching retain lvls i progressed with the google sheet of progression levels someone posted here. Right now it locks like this Pull Up: C2B Squads: Shrimp Squads, got a serious injury on my left leg which put me back complete now and am at bulgarian split squads again. Although my right leg can still do shrimpies. Dip: Ring Dips Hinge: Neg Nordic, since this is not possible right now im doing two leged leg curls on a gymnastic ball, grest exercise Pull: feet highly elevated Rows Push: pseudo planche pu's I dont know. Im doing these levels for quite some time now 3 times a week and not really progressing. I tried a deloading week but did not really help. Going into details: Pull up: i feel like L-Sit pulls or elevated knee pulls are not really making it harder, if you do the c2bs really controlled. Squads: the imbalance concerns me, i lost alot of muscle in my left leg, not sure if i should stick to different exercises left/ right or do the same one on both sides and do the same amount of reps as well Dips: Ring dips are great, but 3x12 is not hard anymore. Not shure how to progress Hinge: same question as squads. Pull: rows feel the same as dips. Not sure but when i try tucked rows the feel incredibly hard Push: not sure of i should change to ring pu's pseudo planches are more for doing fancy planche but does it add push power? Not sure anymore. What do you guys think. Should i change? Should i stick with it? And general question: at what point do you progress to the next level, when you feel like it? When you reached a certain rep? I am no fan of weight vests or that kind of stuff really if possible i want to stay with my body, my bar and my rings :) Cheers [link] [comments] |
| Why am I not progressing in muscle ups at all? Posted: 03 Jul 2021 08:03 AM PDT Hello everyone! I've been training for muscle ups for 1 year now and my result is 2 reps of almost strict MUs. As you can see my progress is pretty slow. I've been doing all that year 45 minutes long MU training for 3-5 days. Since April of this year I don't progress at all with MU. No more reps and form is still the same and is not improving. First I do my max reps of MU (6-7 sets with 2 min rest), then I do 5 sets of explosive pull-ups, then I do band-assisted MU and sometimes finish it with jump MU or deep straight bar dips. I think I'm doing it all right, yet I don't progress at all. Also I got a problem with doing MU consecutively. When I do MU and then go down to make another one, I lose the momentum and I just can't do transition. How should I go down to perform MU unbrokenly? And I want to work on other MU variations such as Ring MU or slow MU. Should I replace training for them with strict MU trainings? Or can I do them simultaneously? For the end I would like to say that I recover enough Thanks to everyone who replies [link] [comments] |
| Highly frustrated with reverse Nordic "progression" Posted: 03 Jul 2021 05:53 AM PDT Hey so for the last 6 weeks I've been trying to get to a deep reverse Nordic to no avail. I'm annoyed at myself for what feels like wasted time and I'm tired of working at it only to experience HIGHLY uncomfortable feeling around the front of the ankles. I use a band to deload the movement and try rep after rep and I'm still not progressing deeper or without bands. Weird because my gf tried it and achieved full ROM without issues first try lol. Please can I have some advice? Respectfully, I need more detail than 'keep at it' or 'use bands'. I can put in the time I just need guidance. TL;DR need reverse nordic progression [link] [comments] |
| Backpack for weighted calisthenics. Any advice on what works best, equipment wise? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 11:23 PM PDT I was considering picking up a backpack for some weighted calisthenics (vests are a little out of budget, and thought it might be more practical having other uses). Also I already have a dip belt, mainly just wanted it for weighted pushups variations. I'm wondering if anyone thats gone this route could tell me what they thought might work best, as far as actual backpack. At first I was really just looking for something sturdy with a single pocket style, but I'm also wondering if features like sternum straps or hip belts that keep it snug might be necessary or work best. Would you go for a smaller size so there's less shifting? Any input on things like that are appreciated. Or info related to weight setups that worked best. (I don't have plates, just dumbbells and some heavy books.) If using dumbells, should I be adding things like a towel to take up space and prevent shifting? Really just looking for any advice or tips or tricks. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2021 04:14 PM PDT Hello all, so this summer I really want too increase my max reps for pull ups and push ups. My workout split right now is a 5 day split (3 days push/pull/legs, 2 days upper/lower) I'm going to start doing a shorter easier workout right after I wake up to start my day because I love fitness that involves moderate cardio and handstand practice. I want to also light push up and pull up work in this workout to maybe speed up my maxes for those. I want to still do my workout split on top of this so I'm worried if I do this I'll make less progress to do not giving my muscles enough time to recover. How should I go about this? Also my max pull ups is 12, and max push ups is 35. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Is there an app to help with perfecting form? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:36 PM PDT I do 80 pushups a day currently, 100 crunches, and 120 bicycle crunches. Been doing this for about a month now, but I still feel like my form for the pushups and bicycle crunches could be vastly improved. Finding it hard to keep perfectly straight during my pushups throughout the entire set and I sometimes think my arms aren't in the right spot. I also don't know if I move my legs properly when doing bicycle crunches since it takes me a very long time to feel a burn on the side of my abs. Is there an app that could have my phone propped up on a tripod to review my form and give feedback based on AI? I feel like that would help me big time! [link] [comments] |
| Not feeling hungry 2 weeks into cutting diet Posted: 02 Jul 2021 03:26 PM PDT Hello everyone ! I went back to gym on the 23th may after a long year of break due to pandemic starting with a calorie surplus (3k calories) for a week. Later on i did a small cut of 2300 calories (my maintenance is somewhere at 2500 calories), but in the 16th of June i started the real cutting phase at 2000 calories and sometimes even eating at my BMR which is 1800 calories. Thing is the first 2 weeks i felt hungry (a lot) but recently i don't feel any hunger at all, sure the fatigue is still there and i can see that my body is weaker than usual when im on a surplus or maintenance but i found it weird that my body can adapt in 2 weeks only. I still didn't do the "metabolism boost" method of eating at maintenance/surplus one day a week so maybe that's why ? So did this happen to any of you guys ? I'm not a beginner by the way so don't worry i know that I'm not eating more than 2k cals a day. [link] [comments] |
| I Just need some General Help and Advice Please Posted: 02 Jul 2021 05:17 PM PDT I am a 15-year-old male. I swim every day competitively for 1.5 - 2.5 hours 5 days a week. I also do calisthenics trainning and some weight lifting. I am looking to build an aesthetic and functional body. I would like to become extremely strong and explosive while looking awesome. I am 6' 1" and weigh about 195 and I am around 20% body fat with around 140 pounds of muscle. My goal is to be able to see my abbs and to be able to do some of the calisthenics skills like the human flag. I feel like my main problem is that I don't know what to eat and how much to eat. This is what I eat most days: Breakfast: 4 scrambled eggs, a bowl of kale and some fruit, a beagle, and a protein shake Lunch: About 3/4 of a pound of lean ground turkey, a beagle, a bowl of kale with some fruit, and 2 eggs Dinner: About3/4 of a pound of lean ground turkey, about 2 cups of kale, some fruit, some nuts, fetta cheese, an egg, and a protein shake I have been eating this since January of 2021 and I still cannot see my abs. I was just wondering why and if anyone has some advice for me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
