OFFICIAL RR UPDATE: New Year's New Routine(s)! --- (Coming Up in 2 Weeks: a Total Beginner's Community Exercise Event! ) ---

[gbob]

@dontdosadness So people will not be able to ask "what's RR" or "you should do the RR"?

@dontdosadness At last something good comes out from 2020. Even if it will be ready by 2021

Looking forward to these routines. Very curious on how the hybrid will look like

@dontdosadness This is exciting! I began weight training about 2 months ago, have lost about 30 lbs with 100 to go. Will there be modifications for injuries? I had a devastating knee injury about 2 years ago and I'm trying to strengthen it, but explosive movements are pretty terrifying. Thank you for all of your hard work. I'm excited to see what y'all come up with

@dontdosadness Hey /@dontdosadness, sounds like a great idea. I remember when I started the RR a while back as a complete exercise ignoramus (2015ish? Wow, it was so different then) and felt like I was constantly alternating between excitement and pure frustration. One big memory was trying to learn the movements and wasting 20 minutes of my workout time watching the frustratingly drawn out videos which all overly emphasized how to exactly place an elbow angle or whatnot when all I wanted to do was to see a demo of the exercise and find a way to get going, even if I didn't do it exactly perfect. Hopefully the new Primer Routine will be able to get people started right away without all the precision knowledge.

Also, in the post, is there supposed to be a linked picture of a flowchart? Just from looking at this sentence:

Here is an early draft of a flowchart of how that may work out, a slightly prettier, finalized version of this will likely be in the wiki in the future to help newcomers pick between the routines. (in that pic, intro to BWF is the 'BWF Primer'. The name keeps changing!)

 

[dontdosadness]

@jcob The primer is basically going to weave in the reading with the getting started and spread it across the two weeks, to make the reading easier to digest.

And yes! There was a link but I missed it out, whoops. I've edited the post now so you can see it there.

It's also here:

@dontdosadness Sounds like a great way to do it - getting going while simultaneously feeding the knowledge and excitement of learning more without being overwhelming. Can't wait to see it all laid out. Also, who doesn't like a good Flowchart . RR totally changed my fitness life and it's nice to see it continuing to evolve. I appreciate your contributions!

@dontdosadness Is there a way to get each day of the two week routine sent via email? I know I may forget to log in to check the sub, but knowing it's going to ping into my inbox would be uber helpful!

 

[dontdosadness]

@allis0ne Interesting idea! The only way I can imagine that would work is if I were to do it via my website, which I might be able to figure out how to do, but it'll be cutting it close.

In next week's post I will ask if others would be interested in that as well. If enough people want it, I will see what I can do!

 

[dawn16]

@dontdosadness Will the 2 week long routine come out day by day or all at once? If I am not getting it wrong this 2 week routine is the BWF Primer right?

 

[dontdosadness]

@dawn16 It will come out day by day. And the 2 week routine is the build up to the full BWF Primer Routine.

Essentially the 2 week event is the BWF Primer Routine but broken up into chunks, with a new part added cumulatively every day so that you start with only one exercise and a little reading on day one, and by day 14 you are doing the whole routine.

And from there you will transition into doing that routine with more volume 3x per week.

But this will be explained in the next week's post.

 

[dawn16]

@dontdosadness Okay, so on Jan 1 I wouldn't get hold of the entire BWF primer routine?

 

[allis0ne]

@dontdosadness Thanks for the response! Good luck with the launch!

 

[christianityisgreat94]

@dontdosadness Very cool! I've been following the RR for a few years now (on and off, you know how it is), but now I'm looking for some skill focused training. The GST would be perfect for that! Can't wait

 

[christiansafezone]

@dontdosadness Thanks for the update regarding this sub and the RR! I’ve been busy with school this semester and I’m looking forward to getting back into the RR and the updated RR too!

 

[jazzgirl50]

@dontdosadness Thank you!! I have always wanted to start but felt so unmotivated during lock downs. I am very excited for the daily thread so we can progress together !!

 

[dawn16]

@dontdosadness Also for the beginners like me...... even though the routine is coming on 1st Jan...... do some workout until then..... doesnt have to be the RR.... just dont procrastinate working ot to 1st Jan because the mew routine is coming

 

[dontdosadness]

@dawn16 True! Good reminder.

 

[prosperouschristian]

@dontdosadness That is great news and I'm happy about this update and really appreciate what the mods are doing for this community.

Also this will help a lot of people who don't have time to plan their workout after they get to the intermediate level. Thank you

 

[bandit1234]

@dontdosadness Been lurking this sub for a minute and was recently thinking I want to really start working out, looking forward to the event!

 

[davis112]

@dontdosadness I am excited. I really got into it a while back (5 years ago) but ultimately could not keep up with it primarily due to how time consuming it was. I could not get it under an hour and half despite everyone saying it should only take 45-50 min. how long do you anticipate these new versions to take? Thanks for doing this
