    My biggest gains was in happiness. Thank you r/bodyweightfitness

    At the beginning of this year I (21F) made a cliché new year resolution to start getting healthier. I wanted to make a difference for my mental health. I was like, ok, I'll do a program three times a week, every week. This year was my final 6 months of uni so I had to wrestle a graduation...

    My outdoor bodyweight gym. It's not much but it's mine

    Pic. I had wood lying about for ages. I ground the soccer goal that my F in law made for the kids into bars. Some screws and paint from the shop and a few afternoons. I was worried that not having posts in the ground would leave it unstable, but the stands do a fine job (although I have to...

    Best progress to achieve endurance goals like 50/100 Push-Ups or 3-5 min L-Sit ?

    I'm interested in achieving goals that can (maybe) not be achieved "efficient" with hypertrophy training. What ist the best training routine to achieve endurance goals like: 50 or 100 Push ups or 3-5 min L-Sit in one Set? Option 1: Still do a hypertrophy progression routine with 8-12 reps...

    Can’t wake up after a hard workout

    I’m still considered pretty new at weightlifting, my goal is to build strength, & lose fat. Working out 3-4 times a week and letting my body rest in between. Lately I’ve been noticing that I can’t wake up in the morning on time to get to work. I’m in bed by 9:30-10pm and need to be up by 5am...

    Switching from straight sets to paired exercices/sets

    Hi there! I've been doing my custom upper body workout for quite some time, but as it evolved with time (sets, rest times, number of exercices, etc), I feel like this workout is taking a bit too long for me now (around 1h45~). I've read about pairing push/pull exercices and sets so I would...

    I re-designed the Recommended Routine Workout Log

    I've been using this amazing Workout Log Print-Friendly Workout Log by @cantsed , for last few months, and it's been super useful, but there were some needs it didn't covered for me. First, I love paper, I don't like to write down the number of reps in an app or an excell sheet, at least...

    My minimalist daily routine

    Hey, Thought I'd share my current routine, just in case it could be of benefit to somebody in some way. So far I've really enjoyed this routine (admittedly it has only been 2 weeks) as it enables me to train every day, requires very little time for each session, and hopefully can be combined...

    [UPDATE] you guys roasted me on 6 month planche lol

    Definitely seems like 6 month planche might be impossible from the comments on my first post so I decided to take a take a wider approach to Calisthenics, but with planche still being the main goal as I’d still like to do it in a year. Trying to find a more reasonable planche progression goal...

    [Upper/Lower split] Feedback on workout plan. What would you change?

    Hello all. I've tried to make this post as convenient for you to read as possible. I've been doing the RR for the past 7-8 months after not training for a few years and find it exhausting to a point where I can't do exercises with proper form and intensity. So I've been experimenting with...

    Is hanging from a wall as good as pull ups or at least enough to prepare your shoulders for pull ups?

    So I don't have a pull up bar. I went to a nearby park to try out some pull ups, but failed to lift myself. I could barely hang for a few seconds before letting go. So instead I tried hanging from a wall with my fingers. Somewhat like this, but the wall is made in a way so that my legs are free...
