    How to use a 8 llb dumb bell the right way

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 08:50 AM PDT

    Im a M 5'8 (or 5'9 lol) 19 year old. I've been doing pretty good so far on my fat loss. Starting at 211 and now 187 in the matter of months. I accomplished most of this to calorie deficit, cardio 5 days a week, and intermittent fasting from 7:55p to 1:55p the next day.

    I don't have a car and not enough money to maintain a gym membership but my grandma has these 8llbs dumbbells I can use. But since those aren't nearly as heavy, I'd probably have to down a lot of them right? How many reps would I have to do?

    Now I'm not gonna lie I notice a very little difference but I've noticed changes. And I probably should've been taking progress pictures. But I think now is the time to start throwing in resistance training to help build more muscle.

    Best bodyweight routine that can be done at a park with no equipment?

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 09:11 PM PDT

    Because I have a small child I spend 3-4 hours a week at the park, and would like to make the most of this time. There are always benches, sometimes a bar that could be used for pullups (sometimes not). There are no rings etc... Yes I know the RR is the routine that is most recommended, but I want to use this time I have on my hands. Is there a routine anyone can recommend?

    Need help organising my workout week

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 06:32 AM PDT

    I'm currently doing this routine Monday Friday

    Monday : dips, chin-ups Ring pull-ups Rows push-ups Bicep tricep

    Friday: dips, chin-ups Ring dips Rows push-ups Bicep tricep

    As you can see the 2 workouts r the same I just have 1 day where I do ring pull-ups and the other day I do ring dips. Today I unlocked the ring muscle up and I would like to train it and add it to my routine but I have 2 options of how to do it and I need help deciding which option to go with.

    OPTION 1 Rotating the variations weekly Week 1 Monday : muscle up Dips, chin-ups, accessory Friday : muscle up, dips chin-ups, accessory

    Week 2 Monday muscle up, ring dip, ring pull-up Friday repeat

    As you can see this option has me rotating the variations each week while keeping the sets and reps the same (rotating variations only applies to dips and chins, rest of workout is same) and the 3 week I will do bar dips and chins again

    OPTION 2 Monday: muscle up, bar dips, bar chin-ups Friday : muscle up, ring dip, ring chin-up

    This option has me splitting the variations into 2 workouts rather then into weeks, so I would do Monday normal, Friday ring dips and chins and continue that each week.

    Which option do you think is better?

    Mixed Calisthenics and Weights Arm Day, Your Opinion ?

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 07:19 AM PDT

    So, I'm 19yo, 185cm and weigh 70kg(small frame hence lightweight) as for right now my arms are 16 inches and I've been training Calisthenics for 2 years now without doing isolation for arms, the first year was more high rep focused and making lots of mistakes, the half of the second year was basically me playing around with back lever and front lever, made some progress but nothing crazy, now for the last 8 months I've been focused on increasing my maximal force output by forcing my body into low reps and using some weighted Calisthenics, well, not gonna get into details about my pull and push days since it's an arm day I'll be posting here, however I'll make it clear that this is not your bro split arm day, it's based on a framework that i found in the channel called Natural Hypertrophy, the guy gives solid advice and he's natty, needless to say more, after studyung the way he trains his arms i decided to apply it to mine but using bodyweight movements, without further do, here's the workout : ( let me be clear, i do push, legs, pull, rest, arms, rest, repeat)

    !★ Main goal is to get bulletproof tendons on my arms while putting on some mass ★!

    Artem shirokov program

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 05:17 AM PDT

    I dm'd artem shirokov for a program to get stronger dip muscle up and pull-up, I asked some questions about how long the workouts are he said 1-1.5 hours and I said what exercises are there push-ups rows? He said no only dip muscle up and pull-ups. I'm curious like how is he very strong and gets his clients very good results with a minimalistic program and only 3 exercises. I'm also curious like if I wanted to add some exercises like push-ups will it make my progress slower and how will I be able to add exercises in if the workout is already 1 and a half hour long? Is there anyone that's done his program that can give me some tips or some more information about his programs before I buy.

    Alternatives to RR on wednesday

    Posted: 06 Aug 2021 03:58 AM PDT

    Hi everyone, I started to follow the RR more or less 1 month and a half ago. During this time I had to take the decision to cut out a day from the routine, cause I can't recover proprerly due to an old shoulder injury. Here's my schedule:

    First Pair:

    • Regular pullup 3x4
    • Bulgarian Split 3x10 12kg (Switching to step-ups in the next workout)

    Second Pair:

    • Parallel Bar Support Hold 3x45sec
    • Elevated foot single leg bridge 3x12

    Third Pair:

    • Horizontal rows 3x8
    • Regular Pushup 3x12

    Core triplet

    • Hanging knee raises 3x12
    • knee copenhagen
    • arch raises

    I've always trained in the past(martial arts) but during the lock down I got really depressed and gained 20kg(62 to 82, now I'm around 70kg. My height is 165cm) and became really weak, especially on the upperbody. So the question is, what can I do on wednesday instead of RR? Should I focus more on cardio? or some routine to work on stabilizing my shoulders? For a couple of weeks I did jump rope and shadowboxing. Hope you guys can lend me a hand, and sorry for my bad enghlish.

    P.S. What about full bridges instead of arch raises? Can it be a good alternative?

    Over/underdeveloped muscles

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 02:47 PM PDT

    Hi everyone, I'm an underweight female who is trying to shape up. I've been getting into better shape the last few years and have really noticed an improvement in my overall fitness and muscle tone.

    The only real issue I have is that certain muscles (namely my gluteus medius) have become overdeveloped while others (calves, serratus anterior) remain underdeveloped no matter what I do. I'm especially concerned about the overdeveloped GM -- I've been avoiding anything that makes me lift my legs to the side, foam rolled, but it remains tight and huge. Any thoughts on what I could do for any of it?

    Thanks in advance for all your help and support.

    Help my knees.

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 06:55 PM PDT

    I got into volleyball with my son at 44yrs. We play about 6 to 8 hours a week. Moderately competitive games with locals at the park. I'm 6'1 265. Fat muscular. I was an active athlete up until my early twenties. I've never experienced soreness or injury to my knees.

    20 yrs and 90 lbs later, they are killing me. I haven't torn anything. I know it's just general soreness and it will get better once my body becomes acclimated to jumping again. And as I lose the weight which is coming of fast.

    But what can I do for relief in the meantime???? Exercises, cold/hot therapy?' I'm getting in great shape. And it's an amazing time I get to share with my son and my daughter, who is becoming a beast on the court. But this soreness sucks bad. Help and Thanks

    Your references on wrist/grip positioning during kipping muscle ups

    Posted: 05 Aug 2021 02:11 PM PDT

    Hey all,

    I am wondering about your preferences on wrist/grip positioning, but for kipping muscle ups specifically. With slow/strict muscles ups, false grip is usually the preferred approach.

    However with kipping muscle ups, I've noticed a lot of people will rotate their wrists half way through as they start coming up.

    For me personally that feels awkard, so the other option is to always start with the wrists over the bar.

    Below is an example of me of starting with an overhand grip right from the start. So my wrists are over the bar; It gives me a really solid push on the bar.

    Just wondering if anybody is like me? And what your opinions are on this...

    Thanks!
