| I recorded the complete RR (with easier progressions) in one video! Posted: 14 Aug 2021 06:13 AM PDT Hello to all of the community! A couple of weeks ago I posted a video I made with the complete progressions of the current Recommended Routine, which received a lot of positbe feedback you all. So I decided to adjust and replace some exercises within the Routine that will make it easier to build strength and foundations, always respecting the vertical/horizontal push/pull logic of the original routine. For example, instead of starting out with pullup progressions, I'll explain some chinup progressions, which can be easier to start with. → Here is the complete routine video Chinups
Dips:
Rows:

| 6 years on on and off ... it s*cks ... App for workout ? Posted: 14 Aug 2021 12:32 AM PDT Hello workouters, I've been on and off working out for 6 years straight, went from 59 to 67kg as skinny fat for 1m74. Going in everyday then off for months ... There is a motivation problem. I only see my legs and arm getting bigger the rest is kind of non changing with a layer of fat. No abs, no pecs. Yesterday, I rang the bell and I said « no more ». I want this beach body once in my life. I've been doing 10 minutes HIIT every other day for a month. => big win for me. I've read many guides, and downloaded dozens of app ... I want to narrow down to one. First Question : Can I get the dream body with 30 ish minutes workout 3 to 6 times a week ? Do you have any recommandations for : - working out on roadtrip app ? (so basically home workout) - an incentivized to workout app ? (gamified or at least with tracking and notification ?) - All-in-one app. I don't want to have ten apps - YET simple to use, the its frictionless ? - I don't mind paying, it will always be cheaper than gym.
Thank you all ! ___ EDIT : Choice is made : - I'll track my calories with Myfitnesspal and adjust ; - I'll try Fitbod my roadtrip until end of september ; - My most fit IRL friend recommended me the 9€ course from Eric Flag in French, I bought it and will do this as MAIN program for 30 days ; - After the roadtrip, my month of Feed + Huel/Jimmy Joy meal replacements will be ended (I have the equivalent of 80 meals ordered), I will look into meal prep and fix what ever is not right in my actual meals. - After the roadtrip, i'll probably do mylo + RR and/or FitBod - I'll be back in few months with some nice pics I hope ! TTYL and thank you all. I AM PUMPED [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2021 06:20 AM PDT My age is 19, height 173 cm and the weight is 57kg. I have been working out consistently for over 1.5 years and never faced any problem. My workout split is pull/push/legs. Today was my push workout which consists of doing a superset consisting of straight bar dips - diamond push ups -triceps extension. My rep range for today was 13-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-6. I don't usually warm up because I do my session in the evening. It started fine but when I reached my 10 rep each part I experienced slight pain while doing dips. I ignored it and continued doing diamond push ups in which I felt pain too. After 2.5 minute rest I went back to do the 9 rep on dips in which I felt extreme pain in my left elbow to the point I couldn't do a single rep. I stopped my session there and didn't even touch the weights. (I do dumbbell triceps extension and kick backs at the end) Yesterday was my pull in which I did 3*10 explosive pull ups 10 muscle up negative and 70 pull ups with 2kg. Didn't feel any discomfort yesterday. I am actually very scared cause my elbow hurts when I extend my arm. Any advice would be helpful. Please. Thank you. Edit: The rep range was 13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-6 [link] [comments] |
| My only tip to effortlessly improve your handstands Posted: 13 Aug 2021 02:48 PM PDT Out of all the tutorials I have attempted over the years this following tip has dramatically improved my handstands. TIP: for two weeks (preferably for life) do a handstand on the wall with your nose facing the wall. Then get close enough to touch your nose to the wall, then press your chest to the wall, then press your hips against the wall. Hold this for 45 seconds per day. Reasoning: we have a natural fear in handstands where our body naturally planches when upside down, this exercise eliminates that habit and slowly opens up your shoulders. After two weeks when you kick up, you will notice your chest will naturally begin to open in a handstand and your chin will start making its way in the direction of your chest. My background: I generally do calisthenics so I'm comfy on my hands, my video demonstrates the difference two days makes. I will link my video in the comments [link] [comments] |
| For some reason, I can't do pistol squats on my left leg without losing my balance Posted: 14 Aug 2021 04:58 AM PDT I can't do pistol squats on my left leg because I can't balance To start of with, the right leg is perfectly fine, I can usually do around 6-8 reps without much issue. The problem is with the left leg. Everytime I try to squat down on the left, the top part of my feet becomes really tight, along with the front part of the lower leg? ( I'm not sure what that area is called, but basically the front area of your leg above your ankle) That prevents me from breaking parallel and I feel like I have the strength to do the pistol squat, but I just can't balance myself. How do I fix this issue? would doing something like calf raises help, or perhaps I need to work more on the stabilizer muscles? Any help is much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Is There Any App for Workout Lists? Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:10 AM PDT I am not talking about a workout-making app, although that feature would be neat, it's not my point. I am looking for a exercise lists app; think of it as a workout encyclopedia or a Pokemón book of every character with pictures. Instead of keeping a list of exercises in a physical notebook, I want it in an app so that I collect new exercises each time, and I look through that app for a particular exercise I did weeks ago I wanna do again, complete with its name (and maybe a picture of how to do it? Optional.) Whenever I make a workout plan, I'd base off the workouts I wanna do from that app, instead of browsing multiple webpages and multiple apps. I want an app that collects each exercise I learn so I don't go looking for it elsewhere in the future. I always forget exercise names (an upright row, sword raises, too much to remember!) So it would be neat to have an app that collects their names (and perhaps pictures/animations) so that I don't flip through pages or cluttered notes. And if ever that exercise isn't available in its library, I want a feature where you can add custom exercises. I want to know the most convenient app possible built for this type of function, if ever there is one. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| 300 pushups a day/5,000 pushups Posted: 13 Aug 2021 01:01 PM PDT Last month on the 14th I seen someone had posted a pushup program they had made that increased their pushups from 20 to 55, a 35 rep increase. Their program is basically just grease the groove and is as follows. Day 1: test your max reps in one set. Day 2-13: perform sets of 50% of your max with at least 15 minutes between sets, for a total of however many total reps equal to double your goal (200-300 for you) Repeat. I was never a fan of pushups and rarely ever done them before this program but I decided to do it even though I don't care how many pushups I can do. I had tested my max on the 14th of July and got a total of 36 pushups, which suprised me because I figured I would get in the 20s. With the number of 36, I got 17 sets of 18, totaling 306 pushups. I had done this almost everday for two weeks, resting whenever I had felt like it. After two weeks I had retested my max and got a total of 50 pushups, a 14 rep gain. I had tested some other excercises even though I weren't going to directly train them to see carryover or some result. One of those excercises were handstand pushups, when I first started this program I could do 5 reps freestanding and after the two weeks it increased to 8 reps freestanding. With my new number of 50 pushups I had restarted the program and got a rep scheme of 12 sets of 25, totaling 300 pushup. The last two weeks I got extremely bored of pushups and had rested more than the first two weeks. Today the 13th of August, I tested my max pushups and got a total of 60 pushups and my max handstand pushups had stayed at 8 reps. During this program I had done a total of 5,433 pushups and some specialized programs but mostly only doing pushups and rows. I might run this program with a lower total volume and a weighted variation but for now I'm going to focus on my one arm handstand because this program was really interfering with every shoulder excercise TL;DR: Did around 300 pushups a day and a total of 5,433 pushups and documented my results. Edit: I would like to state that I am fairly advanced into bodyweight fitness and have been training for 7 years, so I would not attempt this if you are not conditioned enough. [link] [comments] |
| Hands Sore From Releasing Pull Up Bar Posted: 14 Aug 2021 12:05 PM PDT I have a new pull up bar in my garden and I love it. It's one of those bars set between two timber posts. I've been greasy the groove and doing sets of 4-5 pull ups several times a day and I'm starting to see progress. The pull up bar is set at about 8ft so I have to jump slightly to reach it. This is fine and stops my feet hitting the floor and I can do this without hurting my hands. The issue is when I release the bar and drop down, my hand kind of rubs on the bar and this is where it hurts. It won't be long before they are bleeding. Any idea how I can stop this? I don't want to use gloves as I'm jumping on and off the bar all day and don't always have them with me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2021 07:27 AM PDT Hi i have been doing the RR for about 6 months and gained a decent amount of muscle (58kg-78kg at 187cm) excluding handstands because of unstable shoulders (tho i could probably add them in now). I feel like my joints are weak and that i have to be careful everytime i do explosive moves especially in my upper body but to an extent in my lower body aswell. I cant throw an American football without hurting my shoulders, i cant do clapping push ups because it will fuck with my wrists and shoulders. Almost any movement that is explosive is very difficult for me as i almost certainly will injure myself. What can i do to fix this? I want to be able to play any random sport with my friends without feeling the need to be super careful in what i do and having to tell people to not be super physical with me as i might break.

| Question regarding the minimalist routine/minimalist routine alternatives? Posted: 14 Aug 2021 10:22 AM PDT M42, 195cm, 96kg, recently became a father, so time available for exercise became an issue. I've been following RR last year for about 8 month, was happy with the progress, but then fell ill with covid, got a kid afterwards, so basically I've now been physically inactive for about 10 months. Because of time shortage, I'm considering minimalist routine, but have some questions. The wiki says one should do 2-6 circuits with as little rest between exercises as possible, but what about rest between circles? Also, how many times per week should I go through the routine? Every day, three times a week, five times a week, ...? Is minimalist routine a good option (I know it says something is better than nothing, but I would like to use the time I have available as efficiently as possible)? I could probably squeeze 20-30 minutes of physical activity a day, so if there are better alternatives designed for such a short time-frame I'm open to suggestions. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 14 Aug 2021 05:59 AM PDT I've been working out 6-7 days a week for the past 3 weeks and was wondering how my routine looks. I'm mostly wanting to get bigger in my arms/chest and have more toned abs (currently ignoring legs since I've been running for the past 10 or so years). I'm doing all these using my park's outdoor equipment (the two machines just use bodyweight to lift up/down): 4 x 2 - chinup (working on increasing) 4 x 5 - parallel bar dips 4 x 10 - pushups 3 x 12 - lat pull down 3 x 12 - shoulder press machine 3 x 5 - ab wheel rollout My old routine was this before I introduced the pushups/ab wheel today: 4 x 2 - chinup (trying to increase) 6 x 6 - parallel bar dips 4 x 25 - situps 6 x 12 - lat pull down (body weight) 6 x 12 - shoulder press machine (body weight) Thanks!

| I want to get a pull-up station. Which one do you folks recommend? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 04:45 PM PDT Hi all, I would like to get a pull-up/dip station (I am strictly looking for this type of structure, not a door-mounted pull-up bar). I'm not sure which one to get. I have a budget of $250 CAD and I don't want it to take up much room. I have a few options but I would like some help from more knowledgeable people to help me decide (or recommend other ones): Which one do you folks recommend? Or, do you guys recommend any other one?

| Has anyone else experience a lower/mid-back muscle tear during push-ups? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 03:55 PM PDT This happened to me about 3 years ago, and I still haven't fully recovered. I was doing a set of push ups, and instead of stopping when I felt I could not go on, I continued. The next thing I know, I felt an intense pain and I can only describe the feeling as an elastic band being torn in my lower back. I was done for. The next day and for several weeks afterwards, I was in excruciating pain. I could no longer carry heavy objects as that caused the "elastic band" to snap again (yes, yes, I know it's a muscle). Fast forward 3 years, I still feel the pain time to time, but I'm building up strength again and can do push-ups about 3 times a week. Only 15-20 reps per set... I get nervous when I feel pain and just bail now. There are moments when I feel like that particular muscle is on the verge of snapping again. Have not seen a doctor (USA!). Has anyone else experienced this? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone had a Ganglion Cyst; Did you continue training, and did it resolve by itself? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 05:50 PM PDT It turns out I've had one appear at some point over the course of the past couple of days on my wrist. I've had one before which I 'self-treated' by smashing it against a wall. However, it was small by comparison, and doing so was probably not a good idea in the first place. It's not particularly painful, although on occasion it does hurt. I plan on strapping up my wrist in the meantime since these can take months to resolve, if at all. And if not, then surgical drainage... Interested to know if anyone else gets them and whether you've been able to get around them. I've been working hard on dips and I wonder if that might have triggered or exacerbated it, especially since I've not done them in a long time. It might have been too much too soon.

| Rings: How to manage Progression? Posted: 13 Aug 2021 02:40 PM PDT There are several ring exercises where you progress from an incline to vertical straps at maximum length (push ups, archer push ups, rows, chest flys, etc.) My question is, how do you perform the progression exactly? There are two variables you can change, both resulting in an incline:
So is there a correct way to manage your ring progression? How do you do it? [link] [comments] |
