As the title says, I'm having trouble making progress. I've been doing the recommended routine. Here are the sets and reps I did this morning: L-sit PU (dead hang): 6, 5, 5 Dips: 3x10 Tuck Ice-cream makers: 3x5 PPPU - 3x5 I will be doing leg work and L-sit work tonight. I just took a week off...

Hello BWF, first post here. I've been working on my own for about 4 months now and I'm happy with my progress in general. I don't have any lofty goals with achieving X and Y - I just want to slowly increase my activity levels and see steady progress without getting injured. One thing that's...

TL;DR: Lost 10 lbs. Pullups went from 3x2 to 10x8. Dips went from 3x5 to 10x8 (+35lbs). Push ups from 10 max to 30+. Got off of CBD for anxiety. Fell in love with calisthenics. Before/After Pictures: Hey BWF! As the year winds down, I wanted to share my short journey in calisthenics so far...

What is more effective to build up towards a full workout? Let’s say my goal is to be able to do 3 sets of 10 pull ups and currently I can do only one set of 8-10 pull ups but then my arms are completely fatigued. 1) Easier variations like Australian pull up (10x3) 2) Jumping negatives (10x3)...

Training Plan Spring 2024 Firstly I am M23 175 Ibs & been training cali for 2 years now, did weightlifting for 4 years prior. Really looking into unlocking some calisthenics skills and it has been challenging to get HSPU with how long it has taken. Some more stats: I can do x3 good quality...

UPDATE: After attaining the iron cross, I am now working on attaining the Maltese and Inverted Cross. Ever since I first touched rings exactly 1 year ago in May 2020, I never would have imagined this. I started playing around with iron cross attempts from August 2020 onwards, and started...

As we are going into 2022, im also starting to take my fitness more seriously. i would like to know what time of training split/style you guys use. (push pull legs, full body, etc.) the exercises you are doing currently. along with how you guys progressive overload the exercises you guys are...

After stumbling across The Mindful Movers’ recent Instagram post , where he claims that he hasn’t warmup up before working out in 2 years, and has done so with zero injuries, it made me wonder what the science actually says about warming up. Is the ingrained belief that we must warmup before...

Hi, I've been doing calisthenics for over one and a half years. Height: 177 cm, weight: 71 kg. A few months ago, I started working towards a 90-degree pushup. One of the exercises I do is a push into a handstand from a 90-degree hold (or its easier progression). I can't figure out what the...

Not gonna lie, I'm afraid of using any sort of doorway pull-up because of the stories I've heard of them giving out and I don't want to severely hurt myself. I've seen people do a variation of pull-ups with the B-Bars, but they stick their legs out. And, of course, you can do dips and rows on...

TL;DR - May 4 2015 -to- May 4 2016 Current Stats:- Age: 27 years Height: 161.5 cmforevermanlet Weight: 52 ish kg Sex: Interested Grab a healthy drink/snack, relax into your chair/bed and enjoy this wall of text read. Introduction: Most of it is covered here. The usual stuff; depressed...

Anyone using BaseBlocks B-Bars to do the recommended routine? I think you could use them to do many of the exercises in the recommended routine: pull-ups, dips, rows, ring ab rollouts. You'd still need to figure something out for nordic curls, pallof presses, and reverse hyperextensions, but...

Hey Y'all, new here but I've been working out for 2 years now. Mostly legs, glutes and ab work outs. Last year i started focusing more on arms since i have string beans but I'm filled out everywhere else. I can't do pull ups, maybe 3 or 4 push ups, biceps curls are meh MAYBE 7.5 p to 10 p per...

M, 173Lbs (78kg) / 6ft (183cm), 24 It's officially 2 years since the start of my journey! Last year I posted this 1 year of progress that was really popular, and I said that I would do a follow-up, so here it is!!! (Questions like how I started, previous exercise experience are already...

I was beginning to get some overuse injuries from the RR and found it was beating me down, as I can already do weighted pullups + dips so it was getting quite tough to get through.I was wondering how this routine looks (3 days per week). A – Volume (same weights/progressions as workout C, apart...

I started doing the recommended routine about 6 months ago, and at the time couldn't do a pushup or a deadhang. For some reason my core has always been super strong though. I've had abs since I was 6. 😄 Due to a shoulder injury my progress was slower than I would've liked (couldn't dead hang...

Hi. I wanted to know if this would count as a strict muscle up (or at least a-not-so-terrible one). It's been my best attempt so far without kipping after about 9 months in calisthenics. To give you some context, the muscle up has always been the wall I hit my face with since I started. I'm a...

Read that dips are actually pretty rough on the shoulders, and to be straight-up avoided if you're into throwing sports - I'd like to get into some recreational throwing, from SCA thrown weapons to Highland Games-type stuff. Fine, pushups. But isn't bench press notorious as a shoulder wrecker...

At the beginning of the year there were a few posts regarding the Busy Dad Program. It piqued my interest because: I’m a dad. (Father of two) I’m busy. (60 hour/week desk job) Seemed like a perfect fit so I decided to run it for three months and see what happened. Progress photos are...
