    Bodyweight Fitness: Taking way to long to recover

    Bodyweight Fitness: Taking way to long to recover


    Taking way to long to recover

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 10:36 AM PDT

    Hello,

    New to the sub. So, I apologize if this was brought up on here often.

    I exercise at a boutique fitness place that is quite intense. I usually burn around 800-1100 calories per hour class. I've been doing this for 4 months now and it's starting to get me down.

    I take 3 classes a week but I'm not recovering. I thought I was just I was just over doing it and decided to take a week off to recover. But when I returned I was just as fatigued as before. I have trouble getting out of bed. Walking up a flight of stairs is unbearable.

    I'm taking the correct vitamins and protein. I get 8-9 hours of sleep. I well hydrated. I even drink Pedialyte occasionally to make sure I have all my electrolytes.

    I'm 280 Lbs 6"4. I haven't lost any weight since starting. But I believe I gained a lot of muscles.

    Does anyone know what's wrong with me? Is this common?

    Supplements?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 11:59 AM PDT

    So I am already taking a mass gainer, my body's metabolism is too fast, right now I stand 6'6 205lbs, trying to get to 250 or a little more.

    Now here is my question.. I take the mass gainer before and after workouts, now I'm curious, should I get a casein protein powder to supplement my body? Because my dilemma is, I don't eat enough naturally to get these sources naturally, either not enough food in the house, or all the wrong foods in the house.. so I'm wondering, to counter that, should I take a whey protein or casein protein to supplement the amino acids I need to build muscle? Or should I get a pre workout with BCAAs, and stick to my mass gainer which already includes 30grams of protein, I take it multiple times a day, (twice). I also have a goal to hit ATLEAST 3500 Calories a day, maybe 3000 some times if I can't hit that mark. Anyways thanks.

    Has anyone recovered from slap tear 100% without surgery? If not did surgery help you reach previous fitness level

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 09:09 AM PDT

    About 7 weeks ago I was playing basketball and went up for rebound got tangled up with a much stronger player and my right arm ended up going up and pass my head very quick and violently. I heard a loud crack coming from the top of shoulder. Like a young fool I kept playing. Next day I woke up and couldn't raise my arms. Few days pass it started getting better rapidly. Now this where I messed up. I kept training, at the same level. Weighted pulls & dips, high rep weight lifting. Slowly I realized my pull strength was decreasing. I lost a bit of stability, strength and size. I can still hold weights and do push-ups but can be painful and unstable at times. I feel like PT will help but would it help regain enough strength to surpass my previous fitness levels without hurting myself? About 4-5 weeks after my injury I went to get a MRI and have potential Slap Tear. To be exact here are the MRI findings.

    FINDINGS: Alignment: Anatomical.

    Fluid: Subacromial/subdeltoid bursa: Physiological. Glenohumeral: Trace effusion. Long head of biceps brachii tendon: Physiological.

    Acromial arch: Shape: Os acromiale, with prominent peripseudoarthrotic marrow edema. Subacromial spur: Absent. Lateral downsloping: Absent. Acromioclavicular joint: Subtle superior offset of the distal clavicle with respect to the acromion, otherwise intact

    ROTATOR CUFF / TENDONS: Supraspinatus: Intact. Infraspinatus: Low-grade interstitial tear at the inferior footprint. Subscapularis: Intact.

    Long head of biceps brachii tendon: Horizontal portion: Intact. Vertical portion: Intact.

    GLENOHUMERAL JOINT: Labrum: Apparent absence of the anterior superior labrum with thickening of the middle glenohumeral ligament, may reflect a Buford complex, a normal anatomic variant. Posterior labral tear extending superiorly and inferiorly. Glenohumeral cartilage: Signal heterogeneity

    Currently I'm still training the rest of my body besides the right arm. I can still move the arm with full range of motion and do shoulder workouts with light weight, but avoiding all serious movement until I see my doc.

    I have to admit it's causing serious mental frustration and confusion. I've only been training for a year and made so much damn progress just to lose it due to a basketball game. I'm only 20 and have much time to turn it around. I will keep training my whole body besides the left arm. I will keep you guys updated !

    I'm not looking for medical advice, just give me your slap tear recovery story ! Thanks

    Tuck l sit on a ledge?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 08:17 AM PDT

    I have been doing the RR for about a month now. I have had good progress but I havent worked on any skills. At first I was really stoked about learning skills, but then I found just working out also fun and forgot about learning skills. Now I want to learn the l sit. I can do 1 leg supported l sits, but they feel really easy. I can also do l sits on a ledge where my legs are 90 degrees from the hip and about 45 from the knees. I currently have no access to parallel bars.

    Is this a good approach for learning the l sit? I also have a problem with keeping my legs fully straight when doing hanging leg raises or anything like that. Should I also do the comprehension work or whatever it was? Or is it just because my legs are too weak. I dont think they are, they are just pretty heavy because I cycle a lot.

    Got my first Ring Muscle Up - What now?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 06:53 PM PDT

    Hey Bodyweight Peeps!

    I've been lurking here for a while and wanted to ask my first question.

    I'm 30yrs, 6ft, 75kg. I recently completed the GMB Rings 1 program and managed to finish the entire Flow. However, I couldn't do an unassisted Ring-MU, until I started training them in isolation, following FitnessFAQs routine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3sWAOHYHcw&t=157s). I got my first one a couple of weeks ago and now that I can do them, I've been trying workout out how to incorporate them into my routines.
    I was doing a 5x5 ring workout - Ring-MU, Pull-up and Dip (Super-set), Row and PU (Super-set 3x12).
    Is this adequate or are there a better ways to train them and incorporate them into my strength or skills routine?

    Thank you!

    Treating seconds the same as repetitions

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:14 PM PDT

    G'day, people. I've got a certain question when it comes to increasing time for isometric exercises and I've checked up on the FAQs but couldn't seem to find anything similar.

    So, I was watching a video by Daniel from FitnessFAQs regarding how to reach 50 push-ups in one set. Link here: https://youtu.be/qEmznUhN6IE

    And what it's talking about is essentially doing more reps (so in this case 70) than your goal (50 in one set) over multiple sets in order to build up endurance. And I was wondering if you could use the same method for isometric exercises like the L sit for example.

    I can do the L sit for just above ten seconds consistently and so, if my goal is 30, then I would do multiple sets of holds until the total hold time is 50 seconds. But I'm not sure if this is an actual method to go about this.

    Anyways, jsur curious if anyone's ever treated the two similarly. Sorry for any incoherency.

    Cheers.

    When should I start my body recomposition?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:54 PM PDT

    I am 20M, 6'1, 219lbs.

    I have been in a 1000 calorie deficit over the past 3.5 months and am down 40+ pounds, nearing my original goal weight.

    I don't want to become a body builder, I don't want huge muscles, I just want a decent, lean, natty physique.

    My original goal weight was the 190s. But, I am reconsidering this because I want to avoid skinny fat.

    My body recomposition would be a 300-500 calorie deficit (instead of 1000) and continuing my weight lifting and protein intake.

    So the question, do I reach the 190s first, then start body recomp, or do I start the body recomp now (at 219 lbs)?

    Virtual calisthenics trainers and program recommendations?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 08:58 PM PDT

    Hey guys, long time lurker here.

    I have been seeing a relatively big name in the calisthenics industry for the last year, but I feel like he's bringing me around slowly to milk sessions out of me — he knows I'm committed and make good money. It's been a year and we are still on basic push-ups and pull-ups. I'm in NJ/NYC/Philly area so you'd think there's be more options, but there are few trainers outside this guy or there are a few boutique/specialized gyms that are pretty expensive.

    He said we would start to do some skill work and told me everything I wanted to hear when it came time to buy more sessions. Then, he nitpicked me extremely hard and I'm back to square one. The guy hasn't provided me with any sort of training program despite me asking multiple times so I can focus my efforts.

    I hit the gym 4-5 days a week working on what he has shown me, stick to the diet/macros pretty well (except he convinced me to not do cardio to lose weight— funny how when I started incorporating more walking and sprints to drop some extra post-Covid lbs my numbers shot up), and I had regularly worked out and lifted for years.

    Still, I've put on some of muscle with him, fixed some imbalances, and I'm definitely stronger. I'm not totally dissatisfied, but not a huge fan of his methods currently.

    I'd like to try an online trainer or comprehensive program to compare. Perhaps this guy has a method to his madness. Perhaps he's hustling me. Only way to find out is to explore. I tried the Thenx app a while ago and found it to be kind of meh with no real direction fwiw.

    Also, open to any NYC gym or trainer recommendations as well. I want to spend more time in the city now.

    What do you guys got?

    Tl;dr

    Trainer may be scamming me and I'd like to find a good tri state gym/trainer, online trainer or program for reference before I invest more time with this guy.
