bodyweight fitness

Just wanted to say thanks to this forum, and the wealth of information that lies within it. I've always been active, a gym rat, but recently I decided I was tired of not being able to do some of these cool bodyweight activities that a lot of people can do. So on January 8th, I decided to start...

Hi guys, TLDR My friend and I have made a Recommended Routine app. It helps us to stay focused during the workout and track our progress. We are sharing it with everyone for free. Android iOS Long Story A couple of years ago I saw a couple of calisthenics videos and fell in love with the...

Hi ! Sorry for my english, it's not my native language. I started the calisthenic in january and i have some results (i took some centimeters to measurements even if I always skinny fat... I take weight but muscle building is very low...) but I want to grow up my muscles faster. I began with...

Here is an idea I had the other day that I would love to run by this community. It should allow people to add an extra meter or so to the suspension of their gymnastic rings without needing a taller ceiling -- a "virtual meter" if you will... It is a DIY solution that should be relatively easy...

Dear /r/bodyweightfitness, Last Friday was my 32nd birthday, and I gave myself the ability to do 10 pullups in a set! :) Lately, I've been frustrated that I'm not making any progress with my pullups. A common set of pullups looked like 7-4-1, or 6-3-2, or something like that. My absolute max...

Hi, It has been asked several times, but I cant really find out wether my situation would be safe to hang rings. So I'm planning to hang rings on these mounts...

I’ve been stuck in a loop it seems. I’m using an app to help with strength training and fitness overall and I feel like I’ve just been regressing. What my overall goal is is to build muscle and define my abs and it was working for a while. The workout I do is HIIT and usually it’s 20-30mins a...

Hello everyone :) I (male, 24 y.o., 180 cm, 84 KG) would like to start body weight training. I did a few workouts already and educated myself on what to do as a beginner. Regarding working out, I read that as a beginner one should focus on the basics (Squats, Pull ups, Push Ups, Dips, Pike...

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...

Good to see the sub get some mainstream media coverage. Link for the article, if anyone’s interested. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/mar/15/from-yoga-to-crossfit-the-10-best-online-home-workouts

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...
