| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 12:49 AM PDT I really like calisthenics and I used it this past two years to get strong. Compared to the gym I liked it much more cause the progression sounded more like a game and it developed a lot a mind/body connection and consciousness (like yoga). However, as things reopened after COVID I really wanted to do a sport to get involved with people and create a real community and group you can hang out, and I discovered climbing. I'm going to try it out but the thing is the sessions at my gym are 2/week (1:30h) so I wanted to know how can I add another day to balance/avoid losing strength and progress achieved with calisthenics. Would I just add 1 day the RR? Or only a push day? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 09:31 AM PDT Hi everyone I got bitten by the high rep callisthenics bug a few months ago after stumbling across the Iron Wolf All I can say is that I have been a meathead/gym rat for 20+ years however discovering this training style has had the most profound effect on my training. In the last few months I have been training like a maniac. These workouts excite me. Yesterday I decided to go for 100 Navy Seals having been inspired by a guy I subscribe to on YouTube. I managed it in 17.34. The session almost broke me in half but that's why we put ourselves through hell. So no one else can. The video is here Any feedback is greatly appreciated Salute to the Iron Wolf, Wolfpack and Burpee community [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 10:17 AM PDT Hello everyone! I joined this platform roughly 2 months ago and answered a bunch of question since then. Each of us is on their own journey and it's super inspiring to see success stories and motivational content, but also very interesting to see the everyday struggles of most Redditors. It made me realize that a lot of people don't know what things like Range of Motion, Time under Tension, Deload or other terms are. That's why I decided to create a video which gives you an overview of different terms that are often used in bodyweight strength training. On top of that, it contains some concepts which you might not were aware of and which you can use for your own training (e.g. Mechanical Advantage Sets to overcome plateaus). At least for me, I would have benefitted a lot from this when I was younger and new/beginner to bodyweight strength training. Although mistakes and failures are needed, we all have the desire to make progress in the most efficient way possible. I also tried to add some practical examples from my own training to some of the chapters for reasons of understanding. Content:
Please keep in mind that this video is by no means comprehensive, it outlines some of the things that I think are important to know. In the world of TikTok, Instagram Reels and more, I believe that sharing value is more important than ever. This is not a bullshit video and I genuinely hope that this will help some of you guys with your own training and training progress. After creating the video I realized that the Concept Wednesday exists. But nevertheless, this subreddit covers some of the things in a much more in-depth way, and I think that sometimes a visual representation is much more appealing. You can find the video here. Note: As you might notice, English is not my first language, so don't be too harsh with any language mistakes :D I am open for any type of constructive feedback and things you want to discuss. Have a nice day and thanks for your interest! - Daniel [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 09:48 AM PDT I'm fascinated by calisthenics and calisthenic bodies. You dont often come across too many people who have been on the journey for a while without some muscle. I'm curious to know if you've trained to build muscle or trained to get stronger and learn cool skills and the muscle has just happened along the way and where calories fit into the equation. Me personally, I'd like to get to a point where I can easily move my body weight around with ease. Do my pull ups, dips, handstands, but also build muscle on my frame. Long term my goals will be to progress in skills. Get stronger, add resistance to my core movements but focus on improving the cool stuff like planches, front levers etc. Basically I want to walk into a gym one day and show off that I can do all this cool stuff and get more people interested in calisthenics because I would've loved to have discovered calisthenics a few years ago and that lifting weights isn't the only way.

| For people how can do one arm pull ups, how did your progress look like ? Posted: 10 Aug 2021 03:31 AM PDT I'm currently training for the one arm pull up and i would like to get some insight about how people who can already do it managed to get there, my stats are 185cm, @70kg, and max weighted pull up 40kg, max one arm lock off 12s with right arm only, well, i guess I'm ready to train directly for it and so have I been doing for the last 7 months by using rope assisted one arm pull ups, as i gradually get stronger i lower the assisting hand so it grabs the rope lower and lower providing less and less assistance, however, I'm fairly confused about the rep scheme i should be using, some people say do 5x5 , then you have Mathew zlat who is a god of one arm pull ups telling you to do 3x3-6 then progress to a harder variantion, and so on, I'm prone to have more progress doing low volume so I'm really considering going about it in Zlats way, but some people swear by 5x5 like Dominik Sky and Fitness FAQs when training for strength, I'm not sure what to do, besides, ok, let me summarize my question so it doesn't get confusing (more than I've already made it lol) 1• Should I train negatives and assited one arm pull in the same workout ?, I feel if i do negatives i lose a lot of strength to do assited reps and vice versa 2• Would I be better of reaching a 60kg pull up before training for the one arm pull up ? 3- Would training weighted pull ups and then doing some one arm scapula pulls be enough ? 4- How would i progress with negatives ?, After how many secs on the way down should I add another rep, how much of my percentage would I use to do reps of negatives, let's say my max negative is 15s, would doing reps higher of 75% like 9 secs be better or should I aim lower reps for 90% like 13s ? 5- Ultimately how would a one arm workout look like ?, With rep schemes, rest times , and exercises order Thank you so much everyone for replying and giving this knowledge about one arm pull ups, i hope this post helps a ton lot of people [link] [comments] |
| Rating and/or rearranging my L-sit routine for skill days Posted: 10 Aug 2021 07:19 AM PDT Morning, all. I made this L sit routine myself but I'm unsure of the ordering of things and if it's too much or two little and so I'd greatly appreciate someone taking the time to check it. My max hold on any given day is about 10seconds and I plan to do this 3 times a week. My end goal is to be able to do 3 sets of 30 second holds. It goes as follows: Light static stretches for my hamstrings and hip flexors first (unsure if I should be doing these before practising the actual hold) Standing forward fold 3x10 seconds Seated forward folds to ankle 3x10 seconds Standing knee to chest 2x10 seconds each Hip flexor stretch 2x10 seconds each Heel to back stretch 2x10 second each for quads Some side lunges And then, using the Prilepin chart for isometric holds, I'd do my sets of L sit holds, doing the same band per week and having a 2-3 minute rest between each hold. After that I'd work on my wrist strength and mobility. Having 2 sets of 5 reps for the leans with different hand placements and finger pushups. Then work on seated leg lifts. 3 sets of 5-10 reps. 90seconds rest in between. Practice my shoulder depression my lifting myself up with feet on the floor. 3*30-45 second holds. 90seconds of rest in between. And then occasionally work on single legged glute bridges and reverse Nordic curls (to the best of my ability). Although I'd cover legs and core training on my working days. Cheers.

| Calisthenics Program Split Question (Bent/Straight Arm) Posted: 10 Aug 2021 08:54 AM PDT Hey BWF community, Starting in a few weeks, I'm looking to begin a new self-made program for hypertrophy revolving around a bent arm straight arm split and want some feedback on the soundness (or unsoundness) of the routine. So I intend to do bent arm straight arm training twice a week each - split into push and pull. So for example, week one would be SA push, BA pull, day of rest, then SA pull, BA push, day of rest, rinse and repeat continuously. I was thinking of making my BA pull training mostly weighted chin/pull up work, BA push training mostly overhead pressing (pike pushups, HSPU), dips here and there, SA pull training to be front lever entirely, and SA push training to be planche (and maybe some back lever). I picked these specific skills as opposed to others as they are the areas I want to focus on improving. What do you think? Decent split? Things I am not considering with regard to training overlap, rest, sufficient volume? Is there a better split for hypertrophy focused volume? etc. With this split I'll only be doing SA push, BA pull, SA pull etc. skills one time a week. I am sort of concerned that's not enough volume for hypertrophy. I could of course combine push and pull skills into one SA / BA workout, which would increase weekly volume, but I don't know if that's a good idea as this focus surely would interfere with intra-workout work capacity? Thanks folks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 08:38 AM PDT Good afternoon. First of all, I don't like repeating the same exercise over and over, for endless sets. I was thinking of a single set workout, covering the basics of calisthenics. It would be something like this: Pullups (assisted, because I still can't do a full pullup) - Dips - Rows - Pushups - Squats - Leg raises, with about 2 minutes rest between the exercises. After all, about 10-15 minutes jumping rope if I still have the gas to do it. I was thinking of something like 1-1-2-2-3-3, for example: 3 pullups - 3 dips - 6 rows - 6 pushups - 9 squats - 9 leg raises. When I reach 10 pullups, 10 dips, 20 rows, 20 pushups, 30 squats and 30 leg raises I'll progress to a harder variation. As I'm not exhausting myself with a lot of volume or intensity, can I do this workout daily (from Monday to Friday, with an occasional rest day when I feel I need it), or it is best to do it every other day? Please share yout thoughts about it. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Weighted and unweighted A / B split Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:59 AM PDT Hi, I had an idea for a split based on 1 weighted day and 1 non weighted day split as A /B /A/ B /A/B over 2 weeks as a 3 day split. Day A would include: All 5x 5 - 8 reps upping the weight and restarting once 8 reps is achieved:
Day B would be more circuit style endurance as per the big 6 video by Alpha destiny just supplimenting the incline push ups for squat jumps or another leg based move. Work up to top reps of 10 for each pull and 20 for each push. Then move to harder movements and start the reps again from 5 pull and 10 push. Ill add my current reps at 95KG bodyweight here for an example. 3 rounds:
There is a lack maybe of leg movements in this I understand however my genetics have gifted me with good leg strength and size overall. I struggle with jeans as it is so I dont want to add to that struggle. Im more than open to any suggestions or imbalances you can see. Im NOT a professional personal trainer or athlete or any of that. Just a desk jockey so please, any help or ideas are very much appreciated. I also enjoy jumping rope or ''skipping'' so I can implement that on the off days just to get the heart rate up and burn some calories. I have a hard time sticking with a programme but am still getting gains and losing fat due to my diet.I definitely think a routine is key for further gains and fat loss. Thanks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 07:44 AM PDT Hey bwf peeps, At what point would you start adding weight to your exercises? I'm already doing weights for squats and deadlifts, and some weights for OHP (since I can't do HSPU) and side lateral raises. At what reps would you start adding weight to your pullups/dips/pushups/rows? Automod deletes post so adding extra text to bypass. My "lifts" right now are: Pullups 10/8/7/5 Dips 15/12/12/10 Ring pushups 15/12/10/8 Ring rows 12/12/10/8 So should I be using weight now? And how much weight do you start with? Thanks in advance Jalfognebsjdjfnfkdlslsksbdhsjshdbdndkndnsjsbdndkd dbsbsbdndkdbdbdndjdodbdndlpwkqbqbqksndkekenenekendndkdndjendndkdbdjebsbdbekenwleorbrbrkelenbrkrkrnrjrjroekwbebiddinskdndjdid [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 06:53 AM PDT Hi, So in the last two months I have been going almost daily to the beach doing pullups and dips. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 02:53 AM PDT I have been training for 1 month and 2 weeks and I already can see the difference in the way I look.The issue is that I have 61.68 kg with 18% body fat(166 cm height also).Up until now, I ate only at maintenance(no more, no less) or if you prefer me to say it another way, recomping.I heard from different sources that if you recomp, you will put on less muscle.Lets say we have two individuals who recently got into the weight room.One of them bulks from 15% body fat to 25%, and in one year they gained say, 15 pounds of muscle.The other one started at 15% body fat as well, but he decided to recomp for also one year.That individual may have gained only half as the guy who bulked to 25% body fat.Thats the issue I have as well, I am afraid of not maximizing my muscle gaining potential because I choose recomping over bulking and because I am afraid of losing my insulin sensitivity.What would you guys do if you were me?(I tend to mention that I overthink things alot) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Aug 2021 01:49 PM PDT I have a question about Planche Pushups. My pushing straight arm strength feels quite good, I am very close to straddle planche. I can do maltese dumbell presses with 25KG at 65KG BW. So I wonder, why are my planche pushups so weak? I am really struggling with tuck planche Push ups. I am wondering if this is just my horizontal bent arm pushing strength being weak or could the problems be isolated to single muscles? My dip is very weak, so I was suspecting my chest. My triceps are not that great either. But it feels like my shoulders may be the muscle giving out. I was thinking thtat the shoulders are working quite similar during planche as planche push ups tho. I am 182cm 65KG as stated above, but the weight fluctuates from 65 to 70ish. Any feedback Greatly Appreciated!!! [link] [comments] |
| When should I move onto rings? Posted: 09 Aug 2021 01:21 PM PDT I bought this workout program a while back called Body by rings and It was my first ever workout plan but since I was a beginner it was way too hard for me and I basically wasted half a month trying to learn everything. So i started following the recommended routine and Ive done it for 2 and a half months now and my pull ups have gone from like 3 sets of 2 reps (bad form) to 4 sets of 6 reps (really good form), and ive gone from doing like 4-5 dips to 11 dips on each set. If anyone is familiar with the Body by rings routine, would you think my current progress is enough for me to finally start this program? Im scared im gonna waste my time again if im not ready.
