bodyweight fitness

I know my progress is really slow and not impressive at all compared to others. But I put in hard work like many others, just not as smart. I have made many stupid mistakes and used ineffective training methods. Yet it also means I could share these mistakes with you guys so hopefully nobody...

Hi I'm looking for feedback on my take on SM's PPL programme. I'm 35yo male, 5'10. I've been doing RR for 10 months but am moving on as the only way I was gaining was by doing 5 sets of everything and this made the workout 2–2.5 hours long which was proving mentally unsustainable. My goals...

So I realized today (after taking a yoga class) that my balance is terrible. In addition to getting dizzy when doing handstand work (from the recommended routine) I am unable to stand on 1 leg without having to move/sway excessively. Not sure why, perhaps it's an inner ear issue? I do get...

I recently found out a redditor who's prison transformation really made rethink my fitness priorities passed away some time ago. I found out (through a lot of investigating) that he deketed a lot of his posts. Luckily he reposted his workout and prison diet on a website so we can still access...

Hey all! So I did GMB’s Parallettes One course. I wanted to start my journey on the Parallettes so I can one day do a planche. It seemed like a great place to start in terms of learning the basics and I’ve heard a lot of good things about it both online and from people I know. The main guy...

"Beginner's Guide to Watching and Understanding Artistic Gymnastic Rings Events" Hello /r/BWF! I wanted to thank you for everything I've learned here and decided to write my first post. In the past few months I began paying more attention to Men's Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) events. They...

Welcome back to another episode of Sunday Show Off where we look past our shortcomings from yesterday and showcase the beastly things you're doing with bodyweight fitness. Whether you're flexing your sweet gains in a series of bathroom selfies, doing back levers like a boss, or planching on all...

I plan on setting up a small calisthenics gym on my patio and need help choosing a free standing pull up bar/squat rack. I'm look for quality and sturdiness and willing to spend the extra penny to ensure my safety. The last thing I would want is to fall on my head during a pull over. Also I...

The most comprehensive front lever tutorial. I remember my first post ever on this subreddit actually being a front lever tutorial that I made 9 years ago. After 9 years I've decided to revisit that ol' tutorial and come up with something that covers it all! A little background on who I am...

Hey y'all! So I frequent this sub, and a common thing that’s posted is something to the extent of “I’m just starting out, is this routine good/what exercises are good?” or "I've been doing some at home/youtube video/workout app routines, are they good?". To which I always say “Get on a routine...

Blog Hey all! I wanted to share a blog post I wrote about B.W. lower body training. Please ask any question you have! I would be really happy to give advice- take advice. It would be awesome if you shared your routine with us!

I’m a 35m standing at 5-9” and 170 lbs. I work at a desk job and also have two kids who love to be carried. All in, my posture (hips shoulders and all through my thoracic and lumbar spine) was jacked up. My posture is still not great, but I’m experiencing some great improvements in shoulder /...

Curious on some other perspectives on his book. He's not a calisthenics purist and he trains more for aesthetics/hypertrophy. He doesn't do any skills training like muscle ups, levers or planches. I think his weight training background allows him to bring some unique perspectives and ideas in...

I’ve been practicing bodyweight fitness for a little over a year now, primarily on rings. The rings muscle up was one of dream goals and today I finally did my first one! And then 3 more because I couldn’t believe it. I am very grateful for this sub for keeping me motivated and providing tons...

Is it most effective to do each stretch 1 minute every day or 7 minutes once a week? For example if I have 7 different stretches is Stretching workout A or Stretching workout B the most effective? Stretching workout A: Day 1: Stretch a: 7 min. Day 2: Stretch b: 7 min. Day 3...

Pics: May 2014 (85KG) - May 2016 (~65KG) - June 2018 (69KG) - + Story: In 2015 I was drinking and eating to excess regularly. Combined with having never really exercised I was very heavy after leaving university (where I also became a massive stoner). One morning I came downstairs after a...

Hello workouters, I’ve been on and off working out for 6 years straight, went from 59 to 67kg as skinny fat for 1m74. Going in everyday then off for months ... There is a motivation problem. I only see my legs and arm getting bigger the rest is kind of non changing with a layer of fat. No...

Pull ups are hard to do and I can barely do one. I want to improve my form. I've read somewhere that when you're still a beginner, you should do the max pull ups you can and continue with negatives. I've been doing that until now (I do 6 and continue until I exhaust myself with negatives, it...

Hey guys! I've been working out for 9 months and I just wanted to share my journey as way to thank you, it would also be an honor to maybe motivate somebody reading this post to keep grinding. The journey 2019 - Probably my worst moment in life, just a 16 y/o full time gamer (except for...
