| (18M) Just left the gym, I’m feeling weak, down and unmotivated. Posted: 03 Aug 2021 09:14 AM PDT What's up everyone! Recently I've been feeling down about myself. I'm weak (not mentally) but physically. I've been skinny fat my whole life, my dad's side of the family they're all ripped naturally, they're from Angola and have no problem with losing body fat meanwhile my moms side of the family they're all overweight. My mom eating habits influenced me since I was a child. Not particularly lots of fast food but mainly tons of white carbs. Now the problem is that I'm constantly feeling down about myself. After lots of attempts of losing fat, I'm feeling like giving up. I always did sports but had a shitty diet. Now, I just left the gym and noticed that I literally have no strength. Can't do more than 12 push-ups. Weak lifting weights. I have a considerate muscle mass but that's just size. No strength at all. Right now I'm 6'0 (181cm) and weight 192 lbs (87kg) and my body fat is around 25-28%. I want to lean down. I don't want to be that "oh he goes to the gym" guy, instead, I want to have some lean mass and still look fit and obviously with a lot of strength. Any tips? Oh! I almost forgot. How to go from 12 push-ups to 20 in two weeks? [link] [comments] |
| My 439 Day Front Lever Journey Posted: 02 Aug 2021 08:42 PM PDT Sex: male Weight: 160 lb 72.5 kg Height: 5'10" or 178 cm Hi everyone, I recently unlocked the front lever after 439 days, and I made a video documenting the process. This was a really tough journey for me because I tried to learn the front lever without coaching or a professional program (even though I was a beginner), and I ended up getting golfer's and tennis elbow, snapping tricep syndrome, and brachioradialis pain in the process. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I made the video a bit more emotional than technical because of how personal this journey was for me. But I'm willing to share about what I learned technique/programming-wise if you are interested. Thank you [link] [comments] |
| Risks for musicians doing Calisthenics Posted: 03 Aug 2021 07:49 AM PDT What does everyone think about doing body weight training as a musician? Of course the hands are extremely important for a musician and lots of body weight training requires a lot of strength through the wrists, hands, forearms etc. I am a professional classical guitarist so any kind of hand injury or wrist injury could be devastating. However building up strength and mobility in these areas could be very beneficial for maintaining good hand health. I have recently really gotten into body weight training but I fear that by getting really strong hands, wrists etc this could affect my finger dexterity. So far it hasn't but I am only relatively new and I fear that as I progress to more challenging skills there could be problems. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Aug 2021 03:52 AM PDT I want to add weight to my pull ups because I feel I've plateaued, however I enjoy the freedom of doing them without weights. If I alternate doing them with/without weights will I be wasting my time in a way? Is there any way I can occasionally add weight to them but without having to do it all the time in order to continue making progress? For example if on Mondays and Fridays I do large numbers of non-weighted pull ups, and then on Wednesdays I do lower numbers but with weight - will I be getting any benefit from the Monday/Friday sessions, or will it be rendered pointless by me having increased my max weight?

| Im 16, male 5,11 and 120 pounds and I need advice for bulking Posted: 02 Aug 2021 06:43 PM PDT Recently I've been planning on going to the gym to put on some muscle. I plan on doing some lean bulking that way Im not putting on excess fat. I've done some research on things to eat but still a little lost. I plan on starting off eating around the 2k-2.5k calorie mark to see if that will put on weight. I would like to know some foods that I can eat and that are good for lean bulking. I also would like to know some ways to keep track of my calorie intake and I want to know how much protein I should be eating. I'll be doing to the gym very early in the morning so I'd like to know if I should eat something beforehand or wait until I get back. [link] [comments] |
| (1 year bodyweight training) I tried to setup a program for me. Is it good and balanced ? Posted: 03 Aug 2021 08:21 AM PDT Hello everyone ! I've been training bodyweight fitness for 1 year now, mostly set & rep on bars : pushups and pullups, I introduced pike push up when I had enough strengh, bar muscle up aswell. Also trained handstand since the beginning, till I could hold like 10 seconds half of the time. Now after 1 year, im starting to get into handstand pushup, press handstand and front lever training, I've watched all of Frinksmovement videos, and podcast with pros, to help me understand what i'll be doing. My max reps with perfect form, although I dont try it often, should be around 35 pushups, 16 pullups, 8 bar muscle up, and I bought rings 1 months ago, so my reps on rings with what I think is a bad form is 4 Rings muscle up, 12 Ring dips, 12 false grip ring pull up. As of now I can hold Tuck front lever for 30 seconds, and Adv tuck FL for 14 seconds max, with good form. Im 180cm high and 70kg weight. What im looking for with this program is to compromise between hypertrophy, to look good, and skill training, FL for now. I work at a very physical job, really demanding on elbow and shoulders, so I often need to rest these more than other people, so my third priority really is to not hurt myself and to be really careful of tennis elbow or hurting my rotators cuffs. WEEK 1 : Mostly strenghDAY 1 FRONT LEVER : warm-up , max hold , rows , full ROM raise with slow lowering. DAY 2 rest DAY 3 Heavy FB : warm-up, Rings muscle up, Wall HSPU, upside down deadlift, horizontal rows, pistol squat, nordic hamstring curl, biceps curl & triceps pull DAY 4 rest DAY 5 FRONT LEVER : warm-up , max hold , rows , full ROM raise with slow lowering. DAY 6 rest DAY 7 rest WEEK 2 : Mostly hypertrophyDAY 1 Heavy FB : warm-up, Rings muscle up, Wall HSPU, upside down deadlift, horizontal rows, pistol squat, nordic hamstring curl, biceps curl & triceps pull DAY 2 rest DAY 3 FRONT LEVER TECHNIQUE : warm-up, scapula training and some holds + Light FB : Ring dips, ring pullups, pike push ups, horizontal rows, pistol squats and nordic hamstring curls. DAY 4 rest DAY 5 Heavy FB : warm-up, Rings muscle up, Wall HSPU, upside down deadlift, horizontal rows, pistol squat, nordic hamstring curl, biceps curl & triceps pull DAY 6 rest DAY 7 rest WEEK 3 : Not forgetting learned skillsDAY 1 FRONT LEVER TECHNIQUE : warm-up, scapula training and some holds. +Handstands max holds and technique check +Elbow lever max holds and technique check DAY 2 rest DAY 3 Heavy FB : warm-up, Rings muscle up, Wall HSPU, upside down deadlift, horizontal rows, pistol squat, nordic hamstring curl, biceps curl & triceps pull DAY 4 rest DAY 5 FRONT LEVER TECHNIQUE : warm-up, scapula training and some holds. +Handstands max holds and technique check +Elbow lever max holds and technique check DAY 6 rest DAY 7 rest WEEK 4DAY 1 FRONT LEVER TECHNIQUE : warm-up, scapula training and some holds + Light FB : Ring dips, ring pullups, pike push ups, horizontal rows, pistol squats and nordic hamstring curls.

DAY 6 rest DAY 7 rest I've split this over a month rather than a week because I feel like atm i'm way too inconsistent from a week to another to really do the same thing every weeks, I sometimes need a whole 4 days with light exercise only to feel like my tendons are really healing, so i've put a lot of load in the first 2 weeks, then a bit less in the 2 last weeks. I payed attention to the frequency of FL training, I don't really know if this is too much or too low? I also need help with the FB, is it a good idea to split between a heavy FB with exercise that are really hard on tendons and joints like muscle up and HSPU, and a light FB with just set and rep? And is the volume of the hypertrophy training enough to really see progress ? Here are my main 3 questions, but feel free to tell me anything about it, even if its trash and need to be completely changed, i'll be glad to hear all possible opinions ! Thanks you so much :D (EDIT: some formatting went wrong) [link] [comments] |
| Compounds daily or isolated muscle groups? Posted: 02 Aug 2021 11:39 PM PDT Hi everyone, I've been training for a while 5 days a week as follows:
Two weeks intensive strength-focused training and then one recovery week, where I only train lightly. I've reached a point where I'm able to do the usual coumpound exercises fairly well. My questions are:
Thanks for the constructive criticism. Cheers [link] [comments] |
| I'm 17 male 5,10 and 120 pounds i have no eating disorders just have trouble gaining weight. Posted: 02 Aug 2021 06:21 PM PDT All my life I've been under 120 pounds. I have no eating disorders and I eat 1200 to 1700 calories per day. Recently I've been tracking my caloric intake and been attempting to eat more. I've gained 2 pounds this week. I've also been doing simple workouts. I'm also thinking about investing in some weights. I'm fairly new to this whole thing. I've worked out on and off in my life and this is the best shape I've been in. Its been about 3 weeks but this was the first week I gained any weight so I guess I'm doing something right. But if anyone has a similar problem or knows anything about this I would really appreciate the help. I'm not looking for a get fit quick scheme ill do whatever it takes to gain even 10 pounds, thanks. [link] [comments] |
