    Splitting your sets over the course of the day

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 03:17 AM PDT

    When new to bodyweight training and trying to build strength to progress past say 1 or 2 pullups, has anyone had experience in splitting up the workout over the course of the day? Say a couple of reps multiple times a day as opposed to 4 sets at the one time with a couple of minutes rest in between. Purely from a strength perspective and not hypertrophy.

    I can do about 4 pullups everytime I try over the course of the day, but I can't do 4 pull ups every set if it I did it in the traditional manner with up to 3 mins rest in between sets without resistance bands.

    Is there any personal evidence for strength gains training this way?

    Beginner gains if you don't eat enough?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 10:26 AM PDT

    All of us has without a doubt heard the words "beginner gain" or "noob gains". These are gains u supposedly get initially, this is where the most growth happen for the least work. People say this usually last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years depending on program/genetics/diet etc.

    But lets say you start working out, but you are in caloric and protein deficit. After 2 years of working out, you correct this and follow a perfect diet (whatever that may be). Will you then see your "beginner gains" or does the gains have nothing to do with diet at all?

    What I mean is this: If I workout without proper diet and low amount of protein, by definition my muscles should not be able to grow. But you can still get stronger due to CNS adapting. If I then after years of working out finally adjust my diet, so I get enough calories and protein intake, will I then be able to make the gains I should have made initially? Lets say I lost out on 5 kg of muscles, will I be able to gain those 5 kg of muscle later if I adjust my diet? Or has the window been closed?

    I am asking this because I have been working out EVERY other day for 4 months with minimal gains. Even though I went from no pull up at all, to now being able to do 8 in a row. 10 chin ups and 15 push ups with 14 kg vest.

    Will I lose my HSPU strength if I focus only on my Planche work ?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2021 02:36 PM PDT

    Hello everyone!
    First time posting here. I've been doing calisthenics for about 2,5 years since I started working out.
    My current MAX in HSPUs is 11 reps in one set and I can hold straddle planche for 3 seconds and on my good days for 5-6 seconds. My training split is Push(MON/THU)/Pull(TUE/FRI)/Legs(W/SAT)

    Push workouts are mainly focused on planche where I do planche negatives from handstand, planche leans with feet elevated on a wall, pseudo planche push ups, maltese dumbell raises and ring dips.

    I tried to adding or switching ring dips or pseudo planche push ups with handstand push ups but whenever I got to HSPUs in my training I could only do 1 rep where if I do start my workout with HSPUs I can do 4 sets of 5 reps.
    I really love HSPUs I think they are the best for building overall shoulder strength but I really really want to advance from my straddle planche to full or at least close to full without losing all of my progress in HSPUs.

    So basically I want to know how to minimize the loss of my overhead pressing strength if I solely focus on my planche work.

    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    SIDE NOTE:
    Yeah, Im sorry if I made some grammar mistakes and if you need to know some additional info just ask and I will edit this post.

    How to progress from bridges into a dragon press

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 10:17 AM PDT

    I decided to challenge myself with 100 bridges every day this month and have been doing them one legged and putting most of my weight on my arms. I think this is like a bodyweight version of a tricep kickback. I'm wondering if I can get through this personal challenge with an improvement to my dragon press. Currently I can barely hold a tucked dragon press. I think a full dragon press is probably like doing a tricep kickback with 25% of your bodyweight in each hand. The one legged bridge probably puts maybe 5% of my weight on each arm, but I can still feel it accumulating day-to-day as the volume stacks up.

    How do I carry my momentum forward once my bridge challenge is over? I'm thinking arms down reverse crunches. But I know hollow body holds are essential too. How can I build up the kickback strength to dragon press? I'd like to frame this as a chain of 30 day challenges leading up to a dragon press by New Years if possible.

    Looking for good full body exercises

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 12:11 PM PDT

    Hey all, so I've recently gotten off some unhealthy habits and have been doing my own training for a few months but am looking for some targeted workouts

    Personally I feel I'm having the hardest losing off my lower midsection. Used to do track in high school so started doing a regiment of some free weights (I know not relevant here) and then a sit-up, leg lift circuit followed by a 40 minute interval run with incline.

    Don't know if this is too detailed (first time poster) but am looking for some advice on what maybe to add to a core workout and possibly legs? Been working with free weights and body weights for awhile due to Ontario shutting everything down for ages now but was never really a gym rat ( anxiety issues ) so really hoping you gurus can help me out! :)

    Pike Pushup Progressions

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 03:03 AM PDT

    I am using the pike pushup to get training volume for overhead pushing. The HeSPU at the wall is too difficult for me to progress very long or get reps in the hypertrophy range.

    I am looking for advice on useful progressions for the pike pushup to get the difficulty slowly closer to the Wall variation. Obviously, it is possible to elevate the hands for a larger range of motion (i have yoga blocks of different sizes and paralletes) and to elevate the feet to put more weight on the hands (i also have a wall bar). I also lately tried to add weight through a weight vest.

    However, i haven't figured out yet what action to take to get a halfway linear progress with the pike pushup. Taking the weight vest seems to really rapidly increase the difficulty of the exercise, it seems.

    Any experience out there what to do to progress the pike pushup from the floor? Start with ROM, feet or even add weight? Any comments are appreciated.

    Using shoulders too much in my workouts?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 06:49 AM PDT

    I'm a relative beginner in strength exercise. 5ft11 male, slim to skinny build (around 70kg last time I weighed myself) with a bit of belly fat. I've recently decided to change my diet and do the recommended routine to try and build muscle, lose my belly fat and get some definition.

    I'm currently doing the resistance band recommended routine which was posted here around a year ago as I don't have access to bars for pull ups and dips and I quite enjoy the resistance band routine as it's easy and convenient to do in my flat. The routine follows a similar pattern to the original RR with a few different exercises here and there.

    I've been doing it for about 3/4 months now and I'm not really progressing. As an example, I'm still doing incline push ups on my bed and only being able to do 3 sets of 6/7 max each time. I think the main problem I'm having is the upper body exercises I'm doing (lat pull downs, bent over rows, shoulder press and push ups) I feel like I'm using my shoulders way more than my back/chest/arms as they seem to fatigue first. I especially feel that during the push ups.

    I am consciously trying to retract my shoulder blades before pulling the bands or lowering myself down, I'm trying to pull with my elbows and all the proper form techniques, but I'm still getting that shoulder fatigue and I'm not really feeling my back work or getting back soreness.

    One more thing, I have 90 degree kitchen counter where I tried to do a parallel bar support hold but that was also putting a lot of stress on my shoulders.

    Any tips?

    Segmenting workouts into short push-pull sessions through the day… ?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 08:25 AM PDT

    I'm slowly getting back into a fitness regime and I've been following the RR progressions. My biggest hurdle is keeping it simple enough to build the consistent habit of working out. I struggle with doing an hour on specific mornings to fit everything in. I've heard "greasing the groove" on here several times, splitting workouts. My variation question is breaking a workout up into push-pull segments. For example, I will do a full set of pushups and a full set of rows, maybe 15 minutes, then do say pull-ups and squats in a later 15 minute session. It works for me this way.

    My only thought is I would need to do a little warm-up before each. Any thoughts on this? Any negative consequences to strength gains?

    Program Recommendations?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 03:22 AM PDT

    So Ive been experimenting with training alone(used to train 2 years with a group class) and for the past 6 months made some pretty good gains. Now Ive come to the realization of what I actually enjoy in training and that is a mix of everything😅 Endurance training (reps and sets) are awesome in terms of the pump and the feeling of death Ring training has become a pretty nice niche since I discovered I was able to do ring muscleups without any prior targeted training And weighted calisthenics was a game changer for me in terms of mass-building I was wondering if anyone knew any good programs that had the mixture of the 3 or if they would like to help me structure a program myself and them. Dms are open or just let me know your thoughts in the comments

    What equipment should I start with?

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 09:50 AM PDT

    I want to start the Recommended Routine, and I'm a bit lost at the equipment level. It looks like I need a pull up bar, rings, and a dip stand, right? I can find all these separately, but I have issues.

    I rent, so I can't really be bolting anything into walls. And I don't trust the door frames to hold up under a lot of weight. These is an apartment complex, which in my experience tend to be the cheapest possible materials.

    I found pull up towers, but what's the best type to get? Can I safely attach rings to them? Are there ones with all three parts already on them that don't need to be secured to the floor? Are there brands to avoid at all costs?

    Workout routine suggestions

    Posted: 04 Jul 2021 01:01 PM PDT

    Hey guys just curious to see if my workout will be hitting most of my muscle groups?

    I'm a 33 year old male looking to gain fitness and strength to help me gain stamina in my sports like surfing and skating. As I'm not surfing much these days I find when I do go out I'm tiring quite soon from excess paddling Also I have bad knees so I'm hoping the squats will help keep them stable and free from injury

    Currently I'm doing;

    10 minutes on the row machine X 3 sets,

    25 pushups X 3 sets,

    25 weighted squats X 3 sets

    and 10 chin ups X 3 sets

    Any thing that you think I should be adding into this routine? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks I'm advance

    Please advise on diet

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 08:35 AM PDT

    I'm a pretty skinny at 135 lbs ( 31F). My job is very active on most days. I'm an industrial electrician so I'm always lifting, pulling, climbing, etc. I have also been following the RR very consistently for almost a year now.

    While in the first few months of RR I did notice a bit more definition of my muscles forming, I'm still really skinny. I don't want to look like a bodybuilder or anything but I want to look somewhat bigger and even stronger. It just helps with being taken seriously on first impressions as a female in my industry. Constantly having to assure my hesitant peers that I'm "stronger than I look" is so tiring.

    Anyway I'm at the point where I'm thinking it HAS to be my diet. I'm in the field most days so my lunches are usually straight out of my lunchbox , cold. I normally eat an orange, an apple, a banana, a protein bar, yogurt and granola , some peanut butter , some cashews or peanuts, and I recently added a package of tuna with crackers. Dinner is then whatever my wife makes, usually pretty healthy

    Please advise how I can do better during my workday without being able to bring hot foods. Or any other advice

    Should I add ring rows back in

    Posted: 05 Jul 2021 07:20 AM PDT

    My routine is:

    Slow pull-ups- 3 atm with hands at shoulder wide Pistol squats Dips

    Hanging leg raises Glute bridges Handstand Neck L-sit

    I had ring rows between dips and leg raises, but removed them. My back was very tired for 2 days after the workout.

    My question is only doing 3 pull ups enough. It is improving, but slow. Should I add back the rows to balance back out?

    Another question. I am doing my pull-ups with my thumb at shoulder level, I found outside of that put more pressure on my arm and elbows. I am 6,4 have long arms. Should I slowly work on widening my grip or build up to 12 with shoulder width first.

    Thanks

    Isometric angle myth debunked

    Posted: 04 Jul 2021 04:23 PM PDT

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK9961/

    I find that a lot of people say a problem with isometrics is it only trains 15-30 degrees of where the static hold is, and because of that it doesn't build strength for full ROM making it inferior to dynamic exercises. Interestingly enough this myth started being spread around bodybuilding forums due to misinformation and also because isometrics went against the status queue. This led to widespread misinformation regarding the viability of isometrics for overall strength due to the belief it didn't increase all of your strength. Since then angle theory studies have been examined it were found when accounting for leverage, isometrics gave the same strength gains across the full ROM as dynamic exercise. Muscles done change where they are affixed to they are always stuck to fixed points by the tendons, it doesn't matter where you are in a loft, you are working your entire muscle, meaning whether it be dynamic, or isometric, you are strengthening your entire ROM. Many studies have been put out now supporting this, along with the fact isometric exercises recruit up tl 10% more muscle fibers then dynamic exercise leading to better strength gains on account of larger muscle recruitment. I wanted to post this as a saw many posts on this forum pushing the angle myth In regards to isometric exercises.

    A large number of studies supporting what I said below, copy and pasted from different places and on my phone so excuse the formatting

    Is this an effective work out plan?

    Posted: 04 Jul 2021 08:59 PM PDT

    This is the workout plan that I am starting and I was wondering how effective it appears. I am already in really good shape, just wanting to transition to calisthenics. I'm just looking to stay in shape and my current callisthenic goals right now is just to be able to hold a solid handstand and maybe increase my chest size just slightly. I would probably do these exercises 3-4x a day along with a 1-2 mile run:

    Day One:

    • 20 Squats
    • 10 Pull-ups
    • 10 Standard Push-ups
    • 10 Hanging leg raises
    • 10 Burpees
    • 10 Bench Dips
    • 1 minute rest

    Day Two:

    • 8 Diamond Push-ups
    • 10 Biceps Pull-ups
    • 12 Inverted Rows
    • 20 Jumping Lunges
    • 30 second Plank
    • 1 minute rest

    Day Three:

    • Active Rest (2 Mile Run)

    Day Four:

    • 5 Pistol Squats on each leg
    • 5 Incline Push-ups
    • 5 Clap Push-ups
    • 5 Narrow Grip Pull-ups
    • 20 Burpees
    • 30 seconds rest

    Day Five:

    • 15 Squat Jumps
    • 15 Wide Arm Push-ups
    • 15 Parallel Bar or Ring Dips
    • 15 Leg Raises
    • 10 Windshield Wipers
    • 30 seconds side plank on each side
    • 1 minute rest

    Day Six:

    REST

    Day 7:

    Rest
