| Today I'm starting the minimalist routine Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:05 AM PDT Frequently, when I have tried to get myself in better shape in the past, I have pushed myself until injury. So, in an effort to avoid doing that again, I figure I will do the following. 1) Public accountability: Check in every four weeks with an update on my progress. 2) Change the point of failure: I've gone to muscle failure in the past, which probably doesn't help avoiding injuries. I'll instead go until failure of form. 3) Start small: Gonna start with wall push-ups and sitting inverse rows and work my way up instead of start ING with the base exercise. 4) Tracking: Yay Excel! Alright, here goes, wish me luck. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:34 AM PDT I recently restarted with BWF after a lengthy health and job induced hiatus. Going through the new and improved (I assume) RR, I ran across the Deadbug excercise. For me very timely because I have also become more serious about singing, and a lot of what Nick-E writes in his tutorial, especially the parts about breathing, is exactly what my singing teacher is telling me I need to focus on. It did lead to some questions, though. I wasn't sure whether this was the right sub to ask, but I figured that singers who actually exercised their intrinsic core muscle groups would be here. ;-) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 06:21 AM PDT Hey gang. Just for background, I'm 31, reasonably fit, been doing calisthenics since last August. Before starting that, I was pretty active, tried a few different things (weights, running, etc), but had trouble committing to a fitness program. Now, almost a year in to calisthenics, I love it! I've been mainly working on basic moves and am just beginning to get into more intermediate territory (like archer movements) and skills. Without going into too much detail, I feel like I've made some fine progress and my diet's pretty clean. Where I fail dismally is sleep. I'm prone to bouts of insomnia that will last 2-3 weeks; I generally average 3-4 hours of sleep a night during this time. These attacks can be a few months apart or up to a year. I know that sleep is very important for muscle regeneration, but what happens when you literally CAN'T sleep? I'm not asking for advice on curing insomnia, but rather a) how much does this impede my progress? and b) is there anything I can/should do to keep myself safe? I don't want to stop working out whenever it hits, but I also don't want to injure myself. Thanks for any insight you might have. [link] [comments] |
| First close attempts at doing 90° Handstand Push-Ups Posted: 12 Jul 2021 10:12 AM PDT Hello guys, I'm fairly new into the bodyweight fitness realm, as I started doing sports 1 year ago. Prior to that, I was really fat (almost 217 lbs (98kg) as a 5'7 (1,72m) guy) and I hated sports, as it was making me feel miserable. I should add that I was still fairly more muscular than most people of my age (genetics ? idk) which gave me a small headstart when I started doing this sport. I think I got in a better relationship with sports and nutrition over the last year, as I'm training/doing sports (handbalancing, calisthenics, biking, fast-pace walking and acrobatics) for around 20hrs a week, which is maybe a bit too much but I enjoy it a lot. I also started to learn a lot about nutrition and can now prepare my own meal plans so I would say it's better than doing fast food twice a day (yeah, I used to do that). I started by practicing mostly calisthenics, while lowering slowly my weight, but these days I'm mostly training head down in all those wonderful handstand positions. Handbalancing is probably my new hobby. 2 months ago I unlocked my first clean freestanding handstand pushup (which sounds odd because I can do consistent 6 to 8 reps now, but I was really happy the first time I was able to do one with proper form) Anyway, I will get to the point. My ultimate goal in this sport when I started doing Calisthenics a year ago was to get the 90 degree HSPU. I'm getting closer than ever, and I really wanted to share you guys a recent video of my first "close" attempts of 90° HSPU : (WARNING : no shirt on) This sub really helped me a ton when I had questions about different matters over bodyweight fitness, and I have a few questions left for you guys : - Am I doing it right ? What would be your advices to get better except repeating this movement ? - What do you do when your hands tendons start to hurt because of the parallel bars ? Take a few days off ? Going through it ? (I'm talking about the part at the beginning of the thumb) ; - Should I lose a bit of weight ? I'm still 168 lbs (76kg) which is maybe too much for my size / this sport ? Would it help me with these kind of exercices if I get a lower bodyfat percent ? Everybody at the calisthenics park is ripped so I guess it would Thank you for your answers and keep training !

| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 05:48 AM PDT I've recently (and unexpectedly) managed to muscle up. What are rings skills at a similar basic level? I'll list the few I know
(Please don't go in way more advanced stuff or elements which requires way more strength like Maltese, cross, Victorian, planche) Bonus points if they are in the MAG code of points or build towards something there (but still trainable with a home setup). In fact if anyone knows any source detailing basic MAG gymnastics progressions for rings (and high bar) I'd be happy to look at it. Also, any advice/source for training handstand on rings? General hs stuff is everywhere but I could not find anything going into how to approach it on rings. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 09:17 AM PDT In 2020 july I started with this sub with calisthenics. In december i started C25K and i made a pretty impressive progress (halfway 10k). After that in 2021 march i got back to calisthenics and i got to 7 chinups 4 pullups and whatnot. After that in April i tried to mix up the two. I ran the C25K routine WITH calisthenics and got better in both of them. After that i got tired and started yoga. So my question is if I can find a fine routine which includes BWF, running and yoga. If you guys can help me find the optimum, let's say: BWF on monday, run on tuesday, yoga on wednesday, i could really appreciate that. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jul 2021 12:06 AM PDT Hi Everyone. First of all, I understand my question might be a bit controversial but please bear with me - I'm only trying to understand the differences between these two approaches to fitness. Personally, I've been following a mainstream fitness approach for a long time, I'm a sucker for metrics and analyzing my performance. Over the past few years however, it's been feeling a bit empty and repetitive, like just going through the motions and I've been looking for some answers. I've found a few posts and screenshots from these so called "new age fitness circles", which I would love to hear your opinion on (authors unknown): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aD3BJd6x_hxovFQ9Qxk6FDuP6vTNVfxC?usp=sharing It seems to me that this "new age" approach is a lot about slowing down, being present and more gentle, moving better. But what does that mean fitness wise? For those of you who are more "new age", can you give some insight? Or is this just social media noise? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jul 2021 07:11 PM PDT So I'm 18M, 5'2", and 125-126lbs. I don't have abs, but I'm not fat or skinny or skinny fat (if you want a mental image of myself) My relationship with my body and working out is weird. I love exercise for the sake of exercise, it calms me down and is something I love in my routine and keeps me sane. But at the same time I want progress. I want to be bigger, and leaned, and stronger. Over quarantine I lost 10lbs and gained some muscle and strength but for the last six months I've plateaued and have seen little to no progesss at all and I hate it so much. It's been a year but I look the exact same. Yes I'm following a program, doing cardio, and eating healthy but my progress in strength? It's pitiful and I don't know how I can get stronger because I keep pushing and end up in the exact same place. I'd really like some advice on how to properly progressive overload (I'm doing the RR because it has just not been working for me and I don't know what the hell is the problem). And yes Ive read the RR top to bottom at least once every month just to try and see what I could possible be messing up on. Ive don't deload weeks already but I just keep hitting a barrier. If anyone is wondering: 3x7 ring pulls up 4x5 pistol squats with horrid form on the last set (hurts my knees and I don't know other replacements for any leg exercises) [link] [comments] |
