| How do you protect your lower back from any injury/strain ? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 12:53 AM PDT Hello, I recently started doing HIIT (Tabata) and some bodyweight exercises along with training my core. My workout would include around 1.5 Hours in the morning and around 1 hour in the evening (including squats, dips, jogging). But since the last 1 week, I have been feeling a strain in my lower back, especially the right side. The pain goes down to the thighs as well. Even when I squeeze the glutes, I feel the pain. Could it be because of overdoing the exercises or because of the techniques ? How can someone prevent such things from happening ? Are there any suggested techniques to improve the conditions ?

| Six months of only bodyweight fitness Posted: 05 Aug 2021 11:11 AM PDT Progress: https://imgur.com/DQSaR2S Here we are, now half a year after I started my journey. This month was one of the harder, had little motivation and felt tired but I f**king did it! I reached my goals; get fit, lose a bit of weight and get some visible abs :D So happy with my results and this is the best shape I have ever been in my life by far. This was done without gyms, weights or a trainer, just me at home with rings. I think part of the reason for my struggles this month was that I really am satisfied with my looks now so it's harder to push on. I also used a new app this month and while I liked it, it did miss some things I liked from the previous. Now after doing RR for half a year I think it is time to make my own routine, with things I like from previous apps and with some new spice. Very excited. I will still push myself and get even fitter. I still haven't mastered things like front lever, handstand pushups or muscle ups, so there is still plenty to work with. This will be my last monthly update. My next update will be in half a year or maybe never, I don't know. My reasoning for doing these updates was to motivate me and keep me accountable for reaching my goal and now see less of a point to keep doing it. And my reward after all this is to take two weeks off work and not do any workout for that duration, just relax and enjoy my vacation XD I hope my posts have inspired many to begin their own journey and see what a simple routine like RR can do to a person! You all keep pushing and be healthy! I always get many of the same questions so here are some facts that should answer them: [link] [comments] |
| How to progress on calisthenics (beyond harder variations)? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:03 AM PDT Hi. I'm doing calisthenics since the gyms closed, in the begining of the pandemic, and I feel like I progressed more in this time than in the 4 years when I was lifting weights. But, progression in calisthenics is something that I can't yet fully grasp. To me the "change to a more difficult variation" sometimes is too big a leap from where I am. And adding reps/sets gave me a tendonitis (I was dumb and added 1 rep per workout until I got injuried)... So I'm willing to try weighted calisthenics. But how often should I increase the weight? Now I know there are other progression variables (like tempo, better execution...). But the bottom line is: How often is recommended to add weight/reps/sets and for how long? And lets say I progress during a mesocycle. After a deload week, do I go back to the original weight or should I start the new mesocycle with the new weight? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:52 AM PDT I'm a 19 years old male 1,75 meters and 55 kg or 121,250 llb . I want to get fit and get strong with an aesthetic body, so in my case a good balance between strength and aesthetic is the goal. I'm afraid to go to the gym, I don't want to feel judged and looked down, so I want to first train at home to build a solid foundation. I don't have a pull-up bars neither dumbbell or any sort of equipment, just a floor, a wall and my bodyweight . My max rep of push-up with proper, good and controlled from are 10. Would these be a good routine to do everyday?

| Are Ab Wheel Roll-Outs more of a compound movement? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 11:57 AM PDT I'm doing the RR for 8 months now and have made great strength gains in the progress. As Anti-Extension core exercise I trained L-sit, which I can now hold for about 15 seconds. Recently I noticed that my elbow acts up when I do L-sit, that's why I switched to Knee Ab Wheel Rollouts (and because I have an ab wheel lying around). I've been doing them for about 2 weeks now. I'm following all the cues (posterior pelvic tilt, hollow body, arms straight, squeezing the glutes), but I don't really feel my core working. I mostly feel my arms and the lats, which makes it kind of feel like a compound movement for me. At this point in the RR, I want to isolate the core, because I did all the compounds already before, so this doesn't really sit right with me. Am I right with this assumption, that Ab Wheel Rollouts are more of a compound movement than an isolation exercise? If so, then I'll probably switch to an exercise where just the anterior core will be targeted. [link] [comments] |
| Triceps extensions or bench dips? Which is better? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:42 AM PDT As the tittle says. I've been problems while triceps extensions even in the most easy variation (despite the fact my muscles can) but I usually got soreness in the elbows. Any tips aside strenghent them or better do bench dips? I did a lot of bench dips and I can really Focus on my trÃceps and I feel a lot. THX for replying! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2021 03:20 PM PDT I've been looking for ways to fix my hip pain and learned I might have IT Band Syndrome. It makes sense since the symptoms (outer hip/thigh pain and popping) and causes (muscle loss) line up with mine. I hear that stretching doesn't do much to address the problem, but strengthening the area does. However, I'm trying to find one exercise I can focus on to start (small habits). What's one bodyweight exercise you would do that would make the most impact? I'm thinking squats, since they strengthen the gluten and hips but I wanted to see what you all think and if you've done something that worked better. Keep in mind I've never really worked out long enough to make an impact, and lost some muscle with over-dieting in the past. So I suspect I just need some beginner strength in the area to lower pain significantly. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:13 AM PDT I know this is a fitness community but since fitness and nutrition are linked I thought I'd ask this question: What are your thoughts on an instant noodles meal that consists of tuna, tortilla chips and of course instant noodles? After a big workout, it has been my go to meal for the past few weeks. I usually add some ketchup to it as well. I know it's not the healthiest choice but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do & it is extremely calorie dense. I crunch up the noodles, let them soak for 15 minutes then drain them. I add crunched up tortilla chips and 2 cans of tuna to it. Thanks for entertaining my question. [link] [comments] |
| Is EMOM a good method for strength and hypertrophy? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:22 AM PDT Hello, I've Incorporated emom in my workouts because it's pretty fun and it keeps you in check the whole time. I was wondering if it's good for strength and hypertrophy or if it's more of an endurance method and to put a lot of volume in few minutes. I will now write a lot of random words because of the terrible new word requirements.

| Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:22 AM PDT Hey Reddit so iv been overweight my whole life and 5 months ago iv dedicated my life to being to the best shape I can be in, but recently iv been losing a pound everyday while in a 1200 calorie diet. Is something wrong with that? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2021 04:30 PM PDT Hey guy! Recently I've been training wall hspu a lot. But right now Ive got some shoulder pain and I think it's because of bad Form. I realised my left shoulder loses protraction and feels weird while doing HSPU. It's that feeling when you flex your traps and your scapular pokes out like crazy and you shoulder feels uncomfy and "shallow" if you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean I can upload a Pic. Will it go away if I simply train exercises for protraction or do I also have to strengthen my serratus? Or do I have to do something completely different to fix my scapular winging? Looking forward for your help :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2021 05:31 AM PDT I have been doing a combination of weight training and bwf primarily utilizing the RR format. I do 4 supersets MWF: Squats 3 sets of 8 reps Pull ups 3 sets of 8 reps Bench Press 5 sets of 5 Romanian Deadlift/Deadlift 3 sets of 8 reps Weighted Dips 3 sets of 8 reps 15 degree incline dumbbell press 3 sets of 8 reps Australian bicep row 3 sets of 8 reps Decline skull crushers 3 sets of 10 reps Knee lat pull 3 sets of 10 reps Rope tricep pulls 3 sets of 8 Leg extension 3 sets of 8 reps Rest is 60-90 seconds. For progressions after I complete a 3 sets of the rep amount I increase the weight on arms by 5 pounds and legs 10 pounds. The bench press I am doing the strength 5x5 program so each time I am increasing the weight by 5 pounds because I started out 50% of max. Tu&Th I do a seven minute ab routine recommended by Athlean -x Athlean-x abs Leg Press calf raises 2x30 " I change the direction of my toes after 10 reps to work each part of the calf muscle" Standing calf raises 3x8 Hanging leg raises 3x15 Thank you for the help!

| Workout too long and bicep injury Posted: 05 Aug 2021 01:40 AM PDT So firstly I'd like to say that my workouts drag on for a while about 1.5-2hours and I don't have that much time especially on a school night, this only happens because I go heavy on my dips and chin-ups at the start and it takes long to do my warmup sets and take long rest periods. I don't want to decrease my rest time but do you have any tips for making my warmup sets faster and more efficient, maybe I don't need to do as many (could you give me an example of how to do my warmup sets) Also the second thing is sometimes after I train my lower bicep at the elbow hurts when my arm is straight and I know that's the position that people tear their bicep and even though I warm up before training and do exercises to prevent that I'm still really scared I might get injured and that's the last thing I want so do you have any extra tips for preventing that from happening [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Aug 2021 01:55 AM PDT Since i split my workout in Intensity and Volume i found this routine for the volume day and it felt great but i was not satisfied with the exercise selection so i modified it a bit. The original routine is simply 100 reps of Squats, Pull ups, Push ups, Dips and Knee raises. Today i tried this and it felt overall better: 1. 100 Jumping Squats 2. 100 Neutral Grip Pull ups 3. 100 Push ups 4. 50 Australian Pull ups 5. 50 Pike Push ups 6. 50 Australian Chin up 7. 50 Dips 8. 50 Hanging Leg raises. It was a lot of fun and got a massive pump. I can't wait to go for it again but next time a bit faster. Edit: Jumping Lunges instead of Jumping Squats! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Aug 2021 11:49 PM PDT I have looked at the wiki of this sub and found the RR routine to be justified for someone locked down in a small apartment due to restrictions. I started doing it. But, being a beginner in exercise in general and aged 30M with very little upper body definition, I found that it is too long and tiresome even with the easiest progressions. My upper body is so out of shape that my chest is equal if not narrower than my fat deposited waist. I continued for 1 week. But the sessions drained me totally. I didn't find the strength (mental and physical) for the next session. I believe the RR has its place and it is a good well-balanced routine. But, for me, something simpler and shorter would be beneficial in the long run. At least, I think so. Correct me if I am wrong. By simpler I mean workouts that are intense enough but short as in within 30 mins, and, should be general and not over complex or highly optimised. It would be great if I could do regular such workouts (5 to 6 times a week) to ingrain it as a natural daily habit. If not possible, I will have to include more rest days and make it 3x a week. I am looking for a full-body workout that I can do and go about my daily activities without feeling like carrying my dead body myself. Of course, I will start with the easiest progressions and move onto harder ones when the time comes. I am asking people of this sub who have trained in this manner consistently for years/months to please guide me in the right directions e.g. routines, readings, etc. I am new. But if this kind of an idea can come to my mind, I believe, many people have thought about it and executed it before me. Hence asking for advice. If possible, please share your stories of transformations/achievements in this respect. P.S: My goal is to become a strong and muscular who can carry his body with ease without minor aches and pains due to aging. GENERAL FITNESS and maintaining it. Nothing fancy. [link] [comments] |
| Easily exhausted Shoulders/forearms fix? Posted: 04 Aug 2021 03:04 PM PDT I think the simple answer is do more endurance training with them or stretch them more but the thing is they're dead after a single set or in my shoulders case, just warming up with some arm circles. I've been an avid lifter for the last 10 years but have recently switched over to calisthenics but after a set or two of pull ups and my forearms/biceps are so tight I'm scared I'll rip a muscle. As far as stretching goes I've had chronic pain my whole life in every joint you can imagine so I've stretched daily for some relief but it's not a fix. So I can't decide if I should try becoming an endurance freak or if there's another fix out there I'm not thinking of. I'm sure most of the answers will be endurance or stretching but I figured I'd give it a shot lol Edit : side request - if you know of any great calisthenics IG pages to follow please list them! I'm just getting into and looking for a mix of just dope content and actual informational videos on progressions. -Thank you 😊 [link] [comments] |

| what exercises do you find give the same results as weightlifting ? Posted: 04 Aug 2021 08:24 PM PDT F 22 126 lbs 5"4. what exercises do you find give you similar results to weightlifting ? i am a woman so my goals are slightly different and i'd like to focus equally on lower and upper body (find most callisthenics workouts focus on upper body). i'm generally very active and have been weightlifting for a while. i really enjoy weightlifting and will probably never give it up but i'd like to do other exercises and reduce weight lifting hours. this is mostly due to the fact that i grind my teeth and my teeth get very sensitive and also i hate having to worry about form. i learnt everything online so i'm always worried i'm doing something wrong. i like the appeal of calisthenics because it can be harder to mess up your back and joints. i do like the results i've gotten from weightlifting though and i was wondering if i could get some tips or exercises where i could keep and even continue making more gains without depending on weightlifting or if that is just not possible ?
