Soo I finally got a pull-up bar, but at the moment I can’t even do one pull-up from a hanging position. I’ve heard that deadhangs, negatives and scapular pull-ups help to get your first pull-up, but other than that I feel kinda lost xD What kind of routine did you follow to get your first...

I was recently thinking about posting this, and since someone else made a post on pullups GTG today, I have decided to post my result too. A video of the reps before and after can be found at the bottom if you don't like walls of text. In the last few months I was sort of stalling with pull ups...

I (m, 21 y.o, 5'4",69kg) had trained calisthenics from 16-18 and took quite a long break due to university. However, I started training again on the first of january 2024 and made quite some progress. My current stats are: Pull: - pull-ups, 8 reps (+20kg) (started at 3) - Muscle-ups (started at...

I recently decided to mix calisthenics training with traditional weightlifting/isolation exercises at the gym, since I felt it better suited my goals for building strength with calisthenics + aesthetics with weightlifting. I'm currently running an upper/lower split, with lower/leg days...

That last one is totally alien to me. OH and the curved line one, there is also an L-shaped one next to it too! Thanks

Last week's Technique Thursday on Skin the Cats by /@rfoobs All previous Technique Thursdays This week's Technique Thursday is on Ring Dips. You should have a solid dip on parallel bars first, as well as a good support position with RTO. This is a solid progression from PB dips and is useful...

Hello friends! Intro: Haven't made a post in a bit, too busy chatting in the BWF discord! I just wanted to share my 2 years of progress starting calisthenics! I think it's quite good so I hope you guys enjoy this post. Before and After Picture: Also here's a how my back looks now: YouTube...

STATS: Age: 30 (started training when I was 28) Weight: 69kg (fluctuates between 67 and 71) Some background: I started bboying (breakdancing) when I was 15-16 and only ever did that for fitness for most of my life. (I'm turning 31 soon) Due to a lack of common sense and total disregard for my...

HEY YOU, Are you friggin' ready to show off pics of those sweet gains that you took in the bathroom, that muscle up you finally stopped chicken-winging, or those handstands that you're able to control for time? Do you have other bodyweight fitness accomplishments you've made and want the...

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)...

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...

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...
