| Need help with HSPU progressions Posted: 07 Jul 2021 03:52 AM PDT Hey gang, I need some advice for my HPSU training. I've been training it for months but it's very, very hard to quantify the progressions: eg., with FL I can adjust the lever gradually, but with HSPU each session is completely different depending on my ability to balance. Some sessions I might be on form and get 2-3 consecutive HSPUs, but other days I can barely do one without losing balance and falling. It makes it really hard to measure my progress: assuming it's a strength skill I should be aiming for roughly 5 sets of 3-6 reps, but on days where I can't get consecutive reps what am I supposed to do? Even if I fail a rep, some days I can keep kicking up over and over but never quite get a full rep in a single set. I'd appreciate any advice you can spare. EDIT: just to add - I've been able to hold a comfortable HS for 30-60s for over a year or so now, so balancing when stationary isn't too much of an issue. Dynamic HS movements however are another story. EDIT2: I can also comfortably do multiple sets of HSPU on the wall, so strength shouldn't be my limiting factor. [link] [comments] |
| Pull-up form check; I developed a nasty imbalance Posted: 07 Jul 2021 07:50 AM PDT As seen in my video, I recently developed an imbalance during the negative part of the pullup. I've been training for about 2 years already, and in my first year and a half, I never encountered this problem. It looks like my left scapula goes out of retraction during the negative and my left shoulder goes closer to my ear. I did some research and I'm not sure if this could affect it but I do have winged scapulas. Also, during the negative, I feel my right lat activating greatly while it feels like my left lat isn't activating at all. This results in me feeling really sore in my right latthe next day while my left lat barely aches. If anyone needs to know, I'm 18 years old and the video above is my second to last rep of a 3x8 pull-up exercise (I used a light resistance band because I was feeling tired that day). Anyone know what's happening here and/or how to fix it? Also, I apologize for any grammar mistakes because English is not my language. [link] [comments] |
| What type of protein you suggest? Any help is appreciated!!! Posted: 07 Jul 2021 10:19 AM PDT Hey all! Hope all is well! So, I am working out about 3-5 times per week, with say intense HIT cardio, 3-4 times per week. Recently, I posted about the six pack (lol). I been on a struck diet, and I can see results already! I am 6'8" and as of now 265lbs…so, I been on a crazy diet, around 1,500-1,650 calories. So…what I noticed when I run say on a treadmill, I My legs feel like they are not mine, just kind of dead 💀 and almost rotten feeling. My upper body is good to go, but legs are just like giving in. So I am thinking to add some protein powder to my diet…what do you guys suggest? And does anyone has similar feeling? I use to work out about 4-6 hours per day, and I played pro basketball, but I did not really have this type of feeling… Thx all!!!! [link] [comments] |
| I feel muscle imbalance in my body. Posted: 07 Jul 2021 09:41 AM PDT Hi guys. I've been hitting the gym for about 5 months now and I started noticing changes in my physique. Most notable is the imbalance of my shoulders. See I'm a southpaw but I noticed that the traps in the right side of my body is bigger. But my left shoulder is more defined that the right one. Also I'm feeling more strain in the right side of my body than the left. For example today is my chest and triceps day after working out I feel a lot more strain and a lil bit of numbness in my right arm than the left. Is there any way to fix this muscle imbalances? If yes would you be kind to give me some tips? it will be very much appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Hypertrophy routine with kickboxing Posted: 06 Jul 2021 04:28 PM PDT I have done the recommended routine for about a year now but feel like I am not really progressing anymore for 2 months. My equipment consists of rings, pullup bar, dip belt and 50kg weights I weigh 90kg, 1.81m and currently do +42.5kg ring dips, +35kg pullups, +15kg inverted rows, pistol squats +5kg, each exercise at 3x6. I have been doing Mo,We,Fr kickboxing and Tu,Th,Sun the recommended routine. I looked at Bob's Basic BWF (B)Hypertrophy (B)Routine and bwplus and currently decided to try out bw+ first. So my questions are:
I like that I don't have travel time for my workout at home especially if I were to do this program(bw+) I would not be able to fit the time in for the workout(in the morning) and kickboxing(in the afternoon) on the same day if I had to travel to a gym. Thanks for any advice [link] [comments] |
| Quick question on Convict Conditioning routines Posted: 07 Jul 2021 04:22 AM PDT Hello, r/bodyweightfitness ! I have slowly been incorporating some bodyweight training at home (between two weekly bouts of sport outdoors) to stay fit. I had been looking at Convict Conditioning as a relatively simple routine to follow without dedicating a huge amount of time to it and, independently from its merits and shortfalls which would be a different discussion, there's one thing I still haven't managed to understand about it. Let's say I'm doing pushups, and let's say that I can do (for example) 3 sets of 30 kneeling pushups with good form. According to the book, I should be doing the next exercise, which is one set of 8 half pushups. ... is that it? Would my entire pushup routine in this case be 8 reps? Am I supposed to incorporate exercises from previous levels? Or maybe do the routine more than once? I wouldn't want to rush through the exercises and I'd rather do them for a long while until my form is good and I can progress to the next, but 8 reps three times a week for a main muscle group seems a bit short? I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but every web site that I can find explaining the routine seems to assume that I know the answer to this. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Core doesn’t hurt during workout Posted: 06 Jul 2021 03:35 PM PDT This might be a really dumb question but during a workout my core never hurts too much. Sure I'll be sweating, core will feel very tired, it will be sore after lots of reps and get tired during that exercise and will struggle after a few reps of the next exercise but it never hurts like your arms would during pushups, it trembles a little bit, gets tired and the next morning it would be aching bad but it's never as tired or as my arms would be after push-ups if that makes sense. Is there a problem? Like 10 mins after a workout which could last up to an hour and a half my core feels a little tight and my body feels tired but that's it. Note: I'm not talking protein atm so all the recovery is slow (protein is currently being dispatched according to Amazon 😛) [link] [comments] |
