I'm writing this post to recommend Rippetoe's chin-up protocol as a fix for Golfers Elbow. I was super sceptical of this at first because it seems so counter intuitive, especially compared to most other information out there. For those of you unaware of what I'm talking about, Rippetoe suggests...

This time last year I wrote ‘Recommended Routine – Resistance Bands Version’, which got a lot of positive feedback (thanks everyone!). Since then, a lot of people have asked me about how to move on to a different routine once they progress past the beginner level. I think everybody should...

Title. I can do 3 sets of 8 reps of regular push-ups, perfect form and I go all the way down, I can even do more reps, but I never tried. Now off to the goddamn diamonds, I can do them comfortably but only go halfway down, if I go any lower I can't get back up, I tried doing push-ups with a...

I’ve been going to the gym to use the pool for a couple months because I can’t do a lot of normal things on account of my size. Since the quarantine the gyms been closed. I’ve still been walking to keep up the exercise, but I’d really like to get back to building some muscle, doing full-body...

6’5 180lb. Training for years and struggling with consistency and mental issues. One of the main things beside seriously gaining 20lb this year is fixing my horrible posture. My back is fucked up, my neck is forward and other issues such as: - uneven shoulders(I think my right shoulder has...

So just for reference I am a 5’6 130 lb male — as you can imagine, I am not very strong. I’ve been trying to eat heavier this past week as I have started body weight training for muscle (nothing crazy, just want to go from 0 muscle to athletic/lean muscle) by doing push-ups. I’m a noob so please...

Intro You may ask yourself, "Didn't this person write a post about how sandbags are more well-rounded than kettlebells a few months ago?" Yes, I did. However, I have recently become obsessed a big fan of kettlebell training, and experienced the unexpected benefits and carryover to my...

Many of you might be having some difficulties with your L-sit journey. Maybe you are confused about the progressions or you having some problem in programming for L-sit or you are unable to increase your hold time or you want to take a step forward and learn a V-sit. I have created a YouTube...

I have been doing chin tucks and exercises from this video to fix my posture for past few months. It doesn't seem to help much. I am also doing pullups, but I don't think it affects my posture much. Here is a photo of my posture, and here is me doing a little chin tuck and tightening my abs to...

My legs have always been my strongest part, and so I achieved the pistol squat on the right leg after 3 weeks of training. Since then I've been doing negatives on the left and positives on the right leg. I managed to get to 7 reps on the right leg while my left one, though it was getting slower...

I'm from Sweden and I can't seem to find any low, wide parallettes like the ones GMB recommend http://core-strength.co/Pro-5.5-LG.jpg I've found like one single page with something similar (https://www.artimexsport.com/m-en/articole.php?cod=000;001;248-G), but those bars aren't that long...

I've always been very bad at push ups and could only ever do maybe 2 or 3 at most with alot of effort and would give me bad shoulder pain. I've been looking at form videos for about a year now and couldn't point out my problem until I stumbled upon an Athlean X video. He said to open up your...

I was doing a Tuck L-sit and my thighs started vibrating. On the next set, it happened. Has this happened to anybody else? I don't want this to happen every time I do a Tuck L-sit.

There are many misconceptions on the internet about training for women. On one hand we have people who say that women should train completely different form men and just do cardio and play around with those pink dumbbells and on the other hand we have people who think women should train exactly...

So I am currently doing full body workout at home on alternate days and they take too long to complete. For reference, this is my plan:- 1) Warm and dynamic stretching :- 5m 2) Bulgarian split squats:- 20 reps each leg x 3 3) Cossack squats :- 10 reps each side x 3 4)Slow pushups (3-4 second...

I'm more a lurker in here, but I wanted to share what I was able to archive in one year of Recommended Routine. I'm 54 years old and started one year ago with a bar and a mat, while the year it changed to that: and my newest addition is this: I'm 1.92 meters and still not able to one...

HEY YOU, Are you friggin' ready to show off your sweet gains, that muscle up you finally nailed, or some L-sits that took you 3 months to get a hang of? Have you been lurking and want to pop your contributor cherry, just like /@susie0507, AKA, Mr. /r/BWF Clark Kent? Or like /@mediaeval who...

I realise this is a very open question because some exercises are harder than eachother and people are coming from different experience levels. But if enough people comment it should give enough variety in the answers. For example, there are like 7 progressions to a planche I think. Were you...

Hi all, thought I'd share this to help anyone who is struggling or just starting out with their handstands. My HS journey began a good year and a half ago. It has taken me that long to competently and consistently hold 10+ second HSs (which was my original goal). I had a solid strength base...
