| Physiological and mental changes experienced due to training consistently. Posted: 11 Aug 2021 12:22 AM PDT Influencers tend to attribute many changes in their life as a direct result of exercising. Some are downright absurd. That is why I tend to discard things they say when they have some product to sell in the same video. But, it is true, that training is beneficial. Otherwise why would so many people be doing it. Changes are of course personal and vary from person to person. What is your training style and your stats now compared to when you started? What physical, physiological and mental changes have you noticed in your life other than aesthetics. Aesthetics to me is a secondary aide effect. Specifically asking this to people over 30 as most aches, pains of modern life tend to start at that time. If you could share your insights! [link] [comments] |
| I rest my feet on the ground after every pullup, is this wrong? Posted: 11 Aug 2021 10:32 AM PDT So, ive recently managed to make my first pullup. Now, doing pullups to get better at pullups hasnt been working for me because I cant do many. But I found a way of making 3x10 pullups. My back is sore in the good way and I feel like I will progress down this road. But I feel like the "trick" I used might not be ideal. The bar is high enough so that I can grab it with my feet on the ground with my arms fully extended. I hardly have to lift my legs to be hanging. So after every pullup y lay my feet on the ground. I basically start the pullup with no help, but after every pullup y rest a bit. This way im able to do 30 in stead of 5, but im worried that its bad form and has a flip side. What do you think?

| Any cheap alternatives for weighted calisthenics? Posted: 11 Aug 2021 11:37 AM PDT I'd like to improve my strenght on the basics so I can perform the skills easily in the future. Te main problem is that I'm a college student living by myself, and weight plates are very expensive as well as the vests. I know a good alternative could be using a back pack, but tbh I'm already pretty strong since I have a weight lifting background and I'm afraid the backpack have a limited load potencial since it could break. For now the backpack is good for weighted push ups variations but dips and pull ups is something I'm afraid of. Any suggestions? I also don't have access to a gym for the moment. [link] [comments] |
| Need to change my boring routine Posted: 11 Aug 2021 10:33 AM PDT I started this routine around 5 months ago. 21 M, went from 119 lbs (54 kg) to 132 lbs (60kg). I work out every other day nonstop. Pull ups & push ups in one session, the next session I do dips and Australian pull ups. I do legs at nights separately. I don't count the sets but I count the reps. For instance, I do 100 pull ups, 150 push ups, 100 dips, and 150 Australian pull ups. I also do some isolation exercises for finishing and getting some pump. I've become a lot stronger and physically a lot fitter but I want to change my routine since it's becoming really boring and I'm hitting a plateau at most of the exercises. Any recommendation for a new routine to focus on hypertrophy or strength? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2021 10:07 AM PDT Hey y'all. Been doing the RR for a couple of months now, went back to almost exclusively free weights for the past 2 weeks just to see if I really wanted to pursue Calisthenics and I've realized I do. SS = Superset My routine is as described below: 3x5 Squat 3x8 Romanian Deadlift/Deadlift (alternating) 3x20s RTO Support Hold 5 Minutes Wall Handstand Practice 3 Minutes L-Sit Practice SS: 3x8 Ring Pull-Ups 3x8 PPPU SS: 3x8 Incline Ring Rows 3x8 Ring Dips SS: 3x30s Dead Hang 3xSomeArbitaryWalkingDistance Farmer Walks 80kg (40kg Kettlebell each hand) I'm wondering what accessory work I could include that involve free weights or cable machines? I do this routine 3-4x week with no skill days in-between inside a gym. I want to mix both free weights and calisthenics as per the title but I'm unsure of how to approach this. I don't care for heavy compound lifts numbers but I want to make the best of both worlds. My "short" term goals right now are to drop to 80kg(176lbs) (I am 96.8kg(213lbs), 19M 6'3(192cm)) and build a physique I am proud of. My longterm goals are to achieve a freestanding handstand + floor l-sit with outstretched legs. My long-long term goals would be front lever, muscle-up, straddle planche, OAC & handstand push-ups. I most likely will be doing my pull-ups, dips and such with added weight once I get a good dip belt. [link] [comments] |
| How to prepare for a high altitude trek that is less than a month? Posted: 11 Aug 2021 02:59 AM PDT About me: I have small running experience and I "used" to run 6 Km everyday in 40 min. I was also weighing less back then. Now, I can cover that distance in less than 1 hour but I don't get super tired or anything. I do also feel like I have good calves as if I start running now, I don't get DOMS. I'm not unfit or anything but I'm fat. I vary from (5'8") 80 Kg to 86 Kg depending upon my exercise regimen. (This is heavy weight :/) I was skipping 30-40 min a day with 2 min of skip and 1-2 min of break. This went on for a month. I actually lost a lot of weight. I played intense badminton 4 hours at least 5 days a week from Mar to May, 2021. Then I had a elbow tendon injury and had to stop doing everything (everything because I'm lazy). Then after 2 months of mild exercise (2 days a week of 15 min skipping or something). Then after that I did 4 weeks of https://www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine diligently and due to work pressure had to stop for 2 weeks. In Hybrid calisthenics, I can do the following: Pushups - 30 pushups normal (10 per set*3) Pull ups - 1 [I am currently doing the Jack Knife pull ups - maybe 35 comfortably] -------------assisted pull ups I can do 3-5 using 35Kg resistance band Squats - Full squats 50*2 Leg Raises - 10*3 (probably I do bent, I try straight but I miss it) Bridge - 15 *2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In all the breaks, I gained weight in the weight range. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, because of some work I have to go to a trek to 6000 m glacier. I won't have to do hard stuff like rope climbing or anything, I just have to walk progressively higher on a glacier sheet with a small weight (6Kg including my essentials) on my back. The biggest problem will be running out of breath even after acclimatization and ability to carry weight. This I have to go back and forth from the camp for 5 days. I'm following India Hikes Intermediate Trek prep and Hybrid Calisthenics session for cross training in the trek prep for now. Planning to add some breathing exercises in the evening. Ref: https://indiahikes.com/himalayan-trek-fitness-preparation-guide/ -------------------------------------------- My question is, is there something I have to change or add? Can I have some advice regarding the diet too. [link] [comments] |
| Something weird and frustrating happening Posted: 10 Aug 2021 04:36 PM PDT I have been training for about 4 years in and out, and started bodyweight training strictly last october. I've always liked researching and learning things even if I don't use every bit of knowledge i have aquired. Through these 4 years, I've never had a noobie gain phase, and gains both in strenght and hypertrophy have been really slow, although not none. Through these 4 years however, i have persuaded and I have taught friends and family members around my age how to diet and exercise. You would think, since I make close to no gains and get injuries often, I don't know wtf I am doing, but seeing people I TAUGH how to train get gains faster and even surpass me really confuses me and makes me kinda frustrated. Because if others see results from my advice, what in the world is wrong with my body? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:29 PM PDT For those of you who have read overcoming Gravity and have done RR, do you think overcoming Gravity helped you in your approach to RR? I'm coming from a weightlifting and bodybuilding background that I walked away from as it was too time demanding and then I suffered an Achilles tendon injury so I've been out of the fitness game for 2 years. I'm looking at calisthenics as I am very much interested in it and the ability to work out from home which frees up my time. So I'm trying to soak up as much information as I can, but if not reading it doesn't make a difference then I can forgo it. I've seen many programs, many books, and many recommendations, but I don't know which ones I should go with. So if you have anything outside of overcoming gravity that you'd like to recommend please let me know. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Aug 2021 02:05 PM PDT Hey guys. I been thinking of a cheaper way to attempt at home workouts. I dont mind going to the gym but for some of the days im not quite able to make it. what are your thoughts on the following I figure can get pull ups / dips on it. for rows I was thinking to put rings off those little dip bars and that would be horizontal rows. squats and hinge (i usually do at gym with weight but could figure those out on the at home days) any thoughts. im still pretty new. can barely get 5 free pull ups but can.

| Training chest whilst maintaining shoulder flexibility Posted: 10 Aug 2021 01:46 PM PDT Hi all I've been training for a long time mostly focused on weighted dips, planche push ups and HSPUs for press. I've developed pretty solid shoulders and triceps but my chest is lacking a little. I've always avoided training chest inorder to reduce tightness in the area and maintain shoulder flexibility for things like skin the cats / back lever work, overhead mobility and just general shoulder health. How would you implement direct chest work in a way that doesn't directly negatively impact shoulder flexibility? Exercises youd avoid or pick over others? Stretches you'd put in after training chest? Ways to reduce the chest Dom's? I get major Dom's anytime I train chest but I've trained long enough so I don't get them in a big way for the rest of my body unless I go really hard.

| Program for my goals: weighted calisthenics, vertical jump, powerlifting, Olympic lifting Posted: 10 Aug 2021 03:31 PM PDT Does anyone know of or have a street lifting programs that will be good for both progressing in the weighted exercises aspects also with some skill work (hspu, front lever, planche, etc). I know the weighted pull ups, dips, muscle ups, ohp all help with the skills but a lot of the stuff I'm seeing is either neglecting skill work all together or focus too much on it and not enough on the heavy weighted compound movements. I have to problem of spending too much time finding/stressing over making the perfect program instead of just sticking to something. Another problem is that I try to make sure I include everything in my programs, but my workouts end about taking like 2 hours and after about the first hour I know I'm not really benefitting anything. My goals include: Calisthenics (especially streetlifting) Plyometrics/jump/ speed training Powerlifting (I love deadlifting but it's hard fitting it in my week) Olympic lifting (new to it, mainly just doing power cleans, power snatches, push presses, trying to gain that explosive aspect) Boxing/mma/jui jitsu (unilateral upper body movements, rotational core work, wrist and rotator cuff strength) My mindset/current approach is to workout around 5days/week with an 3 upper body sessions, 2 lower Day 1: Upper Pull (include deadlift if it's not going to put me over 1:15 hour workout) Day 2: Lower body (Power clean, B. Squat) Day 3: Upper Push (HSPU to start) Rest Day 4: Lower body (Power clean, F. Squat) Day 5: Upper body (push and pull) Rest My workouts are usually like 8-9 exercises in total (5-7 if including supersets) which is why it takes me so long I feel like I need to hit these weekly requirements for certain exercises/movements. * weighted pull ups: 2-3x/week * weighted dips: 2-3x/week * Bench press: 1-3x/week * Upper chest: at least 1 x/week * Lateral head of shoulder: 3 x/week * Rotator cuff/rear delt health: 2 x/week * HSPU: 2x/week * Skull crushers/tricep focus: 1 x/week * Chin up and bicep focus: 1 x/week * Front lever: 3 x/week (can't get one yet) * Planche: 2 x/week * OHP/push press: 1-2 x/week * Pendaly row: 1 x/week * Plyometrics: 1-3 exercises per leg day * Power clean: 2 x/week * Squat: 2 x/week (one front one back) * Bulgarian split squat: 2x/week * Hip thrust or RDL: choose 1 for each leg day * Nordics: 1-2x/week * Hip abduction: 2 x/week * Knee over toe guys exercises: 1-2 of his exercises per leg day * Lower back focus: 2 x/week I know that way too much and stuff is overlapping, working the same muscles, but could someone guide me into a program or some sort of guide to help me narrow it down to a few exercises per workout, and where I'm only in there for about 1 hour? Any help would be greatly appreciated :) [link] [comments] |
