| A routine to strengthen my rotator cuff/shoulder girdle area? Posted: 11 Jul 2021 05:06 AM PDT I've been doing RR for around a year now and I have maxed out most of the progressions, so I've started doing weighted callisthenics and I feel like it exposed some sort of weakness in all those small stabilising muscles in my shoulders. When I'm doing things like weighed dips or pull-ups, my ability to stabilise my shoulders/retract the shoulder blades seem to drain much faster than the strength in the actual muscles doing the movements. I can feel in my arms/back that I could still do a couple of reps, but the area around my shoulder joint starts to feel weak and kind of "loose". If I push through it, I end up feeling very sore in my shoulders, so I've decided to not do it order to not f-up my tendons or something. Moreover I noticed that while I have no problem doing dips with pretty good form, once I start adding weight, I struggle to keep my shoulders blades retracted in general. Any sort of exercises/routines that I could add on my off days to straighten this area? [link] [comments] |
| How do you feel when working out? Posted: 11 Jul 2021 03:18 AM PDT Disclaimer: I'm not seeking medical advices, which is prohibited by the rules. My interest is in comparing others' experience with mine. I'm fairly new to fitness in general. A few years ago I tried BWF, had some really positive results, and dropped it because of reasons. What I remember though is that I struggled through feeling not really good sometimes. This week my mirror image told me it's time to get back. I started to do basic rows and elevated push-ups (hands elevated, not legs), twas nice. I walked 6km keeping high tempo, average heart rate was 143 up to 159 sometimes. No fuss. Today I've found an outdoor pull-up bar, and after a few reverse pull-ups my head became heavier. Like a slight dizziness, but not worrying one, more like wondering. Heart rate was 118, quite normal. Haven't had a chance to check blood pressure. So, how do you guys feel when doing heavier exercises? Less experienced ones, especially? [link] [comments] |
| Trouble maintaining protraction while depressing Scapula Posted: 10 Jul 2021 01:59 PM PDT Hey everyone, I've been working on my planche lean form. I noticed many Callisthenics youtubers maintain a pronounced rounded upper back when protracting and depressing. For example Dominik Skye here: Link I can maintain a similar rounding when fully protracting. But as soon as I try depressing my scapula while protracting, my back starts going flat, even before I start leaning. I'm pushing as hard as I can. Anyone have advice on how to maintain that protraction while depressing? Or know why my back is flattening? Am I just depressing wrong, or is it weak protraction strength or mobility? Thanks for any feedback. EDIT: Seem to have my form mostly working now. Added my response below. [link] [comments] |
| Increasing metabolism after under eating. Posted: 11 Jul 2021 09:44 AM PDT I am starting to slowly increase my calories after realising I have been under eating for a while and I am just wondering what should I expect and if anyone had some experience to share. I have been lifting weights for a while now, I'd say I'm intermediate-ish and I am on the exercise bike almost every day for an hour or so. My goal is to lose fat and keep as much muscle as I can of course. I'd say I'm around 20-25% body fat at 6'2 205lbs. After getting advice from here & some research, I know that increasing my calories can result in gains and fat loss due to under eating for so long and just wanted some advice, experiences and what to expect. Thank you 🙏 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2021 05:46 AM PDT Hello 👋 Background: I've been following the RR for about 2 and a half months. I've progressed to the point I could do good-form nearly-horizontal rows, so I decided to start working on pull-up negatives, then progressed to assisted band pull-ups (first 25kg, 55lb, and then 15kg, 33lb). Situation: For the past 3 weeks I've started doing regular pull-ups. I could max out at about 5, so I started with 3x3 reps and progressed to 3x5 reps. After this, I decided to go for a max attempt of 10, and I filmed it to check on the form. Issue: Filming the reps, I noticed for the first time my form on the pull-ups was terrible. As you can see in the video, both in my regular pull-ups and band-assisted pull-ups, I somehow always start by elevating my left shoulder, which "pulls me up". No matter what I try (focusing on pulling my right side first, etc), the result is always the same, and I really can't seem to fix it. Question: Can you detect any obvious reasons why this may be? I've double-checked and the bar is perfectly parallel to the ground. Should I focus on any other exercises as an attempt to fix this issue? Some extra info: My left chest, back and tricep are slightly more developed than my right side. On the other hand, my right bicep and forearm are slightly more developed than their left counterparts. I'm right-handed. Thank you in advance for your insights, have a nice Sunday! [link] [comments] |
| Experiencing way too many injuries as a beginner. Posted: 11 Jul 2021 11:35 AM PDT I wanted to ask a question for all beginners out there. How do you start adding difficulty to your exercises? It seems each time I start the RR I always have some form of injury. It's becoming annoying, first I had wrist pain and had to rest for 6 weeks. Then after starting again, I had another injury related to shoulder. Now I'm starting again and I have tennis elbow already. I haven't been able to consistently start the recommended routine for a solid month, it always ends up in an injury. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm eating a lot of food (500 calories above my TDEE) and I'm also eating healthy (no junk food, fried etc). I'm 14 so I don't know if this plays a part. In conclusion, I wonder how to get out of the super weak phase, since I'm genuinely stuck. Please help me with some advice since I'm so demotivated at this point. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2021 08:04 AM PDT After learning how to front lever (I can actually hold 10+ sec of full front lever), I decide to start working for the planche. After a while I realized that my main problem is the lack of activations in the abdominal part,probably caused by the executions of the planche in the propaedeutics (mainly tuck planche). Do you have any exercises to learn correct activation of the abdominal area in the planche? Are there any specific exercises to train the core for the planche? For the moment, the only exercise that I feel lightly in my abdominal area is the famous "Planche lean", should it be effective for the abdominal? [link] [comments] |
| Have you guys tried silkworm pupae protein? Posted: 11 Jul 2021 04:45 AM PDT Now my friend at the university in thailand is doing a research on alternative protein from silkworm pupae? It would mean a lot for him if anyone of you can do this survey for him. He really needs this. This protein can make impact on farmers. This survey is on consumption of protein and insects. It is conducted as a part of a research based at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. The objective of this survey is for educational purposes solely. All responses received shall be confidential and anonymous. https://forms.gle/KvYK936NUjC2Tmis9 THANK YOU IN ADVANCE [link] [comments] |
| Skill Day Bodyweight Routine Workout Log Posted: 10 Jul 2021 12:42 PM PDT Skill Day Bodyweight Workout Log I made a spreadsheet workout log for the Skill Day Bodyweight Routine based on the Recommended Routine workout log! :) It's a link to the Google Drive spreadsheet where you can make a copy and save it to your own Google Drive account or computer. I'm not sure if this has been done before or if I've done poorly on it lol. I did this for myself and thought others and the sub would find it useful as well for tracking progress. It's nice since you can track progress over the years, see how you're progressing, any problem areas, and even print it out if you want to, although I'm not sure how neat it will look. Anyways, if there's any advice or edits you would recommend that'd be awesome. Is there anything to improve formatting or the way it's done that can improve this? I'd love to hear it! You can message me directly or put it down in the comments below. If there's a possibility to add this link to the Skill Day Routine page that'd be pretty sweet too. It'd be nice if someone were to continue this trend by making a printer friendly version like the Recommended Routine has. Thanks, enjoy! 💪😎💪 you've got this [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2021 12:13 AM PDT Hi All, So here's my current routine 6 days a week, 1 rest day. Each day I do one from Push/Pull/Leg, one from core/calisthenics and one from cardio. My goal is to build lean muscle and lose the fat I built up during the pandemic. Am I hitting all necessary muscle groups? Does my workout make logical sense in terms of which exercises I'm doing etc? Push/Pull/Legs (one set done on machines no rest between) Push 12 reps at max weight - shoulders press, chest press, tricep push downs Pull 12 reps at max weight - rows, bicep curls, lat pull downs Legs 20 reps at max weight - squat, hamstring curls I alternate between core and what I call "calisthenics" days - so 3 each of these workouts a week Core day 3 super sets max reps: hanging crunch, back extension, hanging crunch legs moving side to side, plank (60 seconds) Calisthenics day 3 super sets max reps: squats, pull ups, push ups For cardio I use an exercise bike and alternate between these 2 workouts - so 3 each of these workouts a week HIIT 25 min Slow long cycle 40 min EDIT: So this is my routine. One workout from A, B and C each day: A Push/Pull/Legs - a total of 2 of each per week B Core or Calisthenics alternating days C 40 min exercise bike or 25 min HIIT exercise bike alternating days So a random day might look like: Pull + core + 25 min HIIT [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2021 05:53 PM PDT Hey everyone! So I'm hoping some people will be able to help me with my results from a scale my significant other just got us: I'm 26 year old 5'6, I have a pretty big chest ( 34 DDD) other than that I would say I'm pretty average. I'm definitely not skinny, but wouldn't say I'm fat either. I'm confused about what this fancy scale results are though Weight: 190.2 lbs Fat: 32.3% (says it's high) Water: 47.1 (normal I think) Muscle: 31% (said it's high) Bone density: 8.2lbs What does all this mean? Does everyone just fit in a category? If my fat and muscle are both high how do I loose weight? Can I be healthy (according to the scale) with having a bigger chest and butt? I'm so confused by this scale and it just kind of made me feel bad I would love some advice! I just want to be healthy.. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2021 10:36 PM PDT I want to know if there are any specific requirements for starting GYM or not like 18+ or any minimum height or at least weight or anything? Also, Will Protein Supplements will cover everything if your weight is not ok or we have to gain weight first and then start GYM? Let me give some examples one person is this who have good health and Good looking muscles: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/85/64/03/856403c705eabba55f81775bdf4cce6b.png [link] [comments] |
