/bwg/ - BodyWeight General

I like exercising, it keeps me motivated and my mind sharp

I'm 165lbs, bench @155 deadlift @ 240 for 5 reps
Thanks, I'll check those out

I wouldn't even bother competing desu.

At his height getting into gymnastics so late it's not a surprise.

How do I into dips? I'm a Skelly and I can't do 1 rep. Also what's the best alternative for dips? Neutral grip db bench (maybe even on decline)? Decline bench?

HBP progression in Foundation

multitude of ways of going about it. I went pushups to diamond pushups to dip negatives to dips

how are your push-ups?

Foundation? A book? By who?
40+
Yeah I'll practice dip negatives

>I went pushups to diamond pushups to dip negatives to dips
what in the heck
I had to do dips for weeks to build up enough strength to do pushups

>I had to do dips for weeks to build up enough strength to do pushups
nice b8
OP or first reply

dips are way easier for me
my progression went dips -> push ups -> chin ups -> pull ups

id believe you if you got quads

yea, because you use shit form for both, how is pushing 100% of your bw easier than pushing ~60%?
>yea guys, I had to DL 6pl8's for years before I could DL 4pl8's to finally achieve 1/2/3/4

fuck me I replied

You're not talking about chair dips, are you?

>how is pushing 100% of your bw easier than pushing ~60%
I don't know, because the distribution of the muscles make dips easier than pushups or something
maybe I have better tris than I have pecs
something along those lines

I find push-ups more uncomfortable than dips but no way I could do less of those.

Oh thanks

>maybe I have better tris than I have pecs
>because you use shit form for both
dips and push ups are tris exercise in /bwg/

after lifting for about 7 months, i'm moving over to bodyweight because military

I can do 14 pull-ups, how's that for starter?

cardio is the hardest part of bootcamp
work on that instead

You also use lats when you do dips.

If that's a one off max, it's probably average. If that's for reps it's pretty good, but you should switch to L-sit pull ups

>If that's a one off max, it's probably average
for whom?

I started, i'm cranking out a 13:54 2 mile, i'd like to get it down to 13:00 or sub 13

because of how close my pullup bar is to the ground those are L sit pullups

Is it normal to feel pain immediately after I exit out of tuck planche in my front shoulders. It is a short lasting pain - 30 seconds. What can I do about it?

Depends on pain and if it's recurring, are you warming up properly?

100 pushups a day minimum.
100 squats a day minimum.
100 leg raises a day minimum.
2 minutes planking a day minimum.
2 mile run a day minimum.
6 hours of sleep minimum.

Does this look like a good thing to do everyday along with youtube.com/watch?v=w1iXMvTMvBo
Was looking for something to add to SL

How on earth did you come up with those numbers and why are they the same every day? Or are you just memeing?

yea, double that if you are not a weak puss

sound like a plan

was looking through desuarchive for 100 squats a day challenge, found this instead and liked it. I want a staple to do daily, something to rely on. Used to do 100 pushups broken up every night before bed ez, so this isn't unachievable
When I train up for it. user from the same thread did 5 sets of 40 of everything
thank mucc I'm set on it

Where the heck do you people hang your rings? I can't find a single decent tree nearby that don't have branches that aren't too high up to throw the rings over, I don't have a garage and I don't want to look like an autist and mount my rings at the pullup bars at my outdoor gym. Do I need to buy a crossfit rack and put in my yard, or what?

How much stronger do I need to get to do one armed pull-ups?

How do I practice them? I really want to be able to do them by end of Summer

I currently am doing weighted pull-ups of 25 pounds as someone who weights 160. Any advice would be much appreciated

These weighted pull-ups are for 4 sets of 5

At 25lbs for 5 you have a long way to go boyo

how do I find a qt gymnast?

you can make one yourself
start with archer pull ups, then assisted one arm pull ups (hold onto forearm with the other hand) then one arm pull up negatives
you DO realise you are getting trolled and laughed at, right?

no, I DON'T. Exercise is exercise, and I'm happy about this
>getting trolled and laughed at
means nothing

Just got one of these argos.co.uk/product/6180223
Holy fuck it's good, can also simulate bench press on it as well. Who else here has one? What do you use it for?

How does a pull up bar simulate a bench press?

This but slightly different form.

So its a push up
You dont need a bar for that

Nah the form is much more like that of a bench press than a pressup.

How? Because you are grabbing a bar?

lulz

I'm in love with that girl

Just do pushups on your fists, it will give your forearms some workout.

I need something for beginners that work the traps AND delts. I just started handstand holds (wall) and I can stay up for about 40 seconds, gives me a really good burn in my delts but I don't want my traps to get left behind. halp.

If you can do inverted rows or just carry have things around like farmers walk
I do both

Do shrugs upside down with parallel bars

do what this guy said
but while doing your hand stands

im a novice with handstands, I don't think i can do many shrugs, maybe like 3 if i had to guess. I also don't have any equipment so bars are a no go.

Do negatives.
Im where you are except with 1 arm chin up : P

sounds perfect then
do 3 during your handstand
and do 3-5 sets
work your way up to 8 reps

>negatives
What are they?

shit man somehow you motivated me to hit that shit. Traps about to ascend.

Jump to top of the bar and slowly lower yourself

oh right tar

For a man who exercises regularly

Nice work then, that puts you above average

Will I get anywhere, or at least maintain gains, if I just do a shit ton of burpees while traveling?

How muscular is it possible to get just through body weight exercise?

if you eat alot you'll get big
burpees are basically cardio

...

Doing sets of full body weight exercises everyday can't be good, or are they? I'm a few months in and currently avoiding it because of mah gains and overtraining I guess

I certainly dont do it. I imagine if I did muscle ups and 1 arm chin ups every day my elbows would be dead in a week.

Deload weeks and rest days are not a meme, though Foundation does have a 5day routine, if you have god genetics

you can make it work if its lighter workouts

Upper body wise? Very, I'm guessing.
My back/biceps/rear delts overpower every other bodypart of mine, and all I do for it is pullups.

My pecs and front delts and triceps look very weak in comparison and I do a bunch of presses for it.

I can't understand this picture

try reading, desu

I did it, but I didn't undertand neither. I don't know how to make a routine out of that pic.

you read it but you couldn't read the part for routine?
reread until this part:
>Foundation gives 3 routines:

the routines are listed afterwards

>only pull ups

Just bodyweight or weighted?

Guess

weighted?

Unweighted, I don't see the point in doing weighted pullups, I just do them either at the gym or at home, and do rest pause on them.

Can you share your pull-up routine?

>A: FL, sPL, HBP, RC

So, the A days I have to do the whole "Front lever"? (implying that FL stands for that)
What is sPL?

Hey what would you guys recomend for excercising legs and butt, and how much time It would require ( I am not looking for a quick way I have no problem with time) I am 20 yrs old , 54 kilos (119lbs) and my height is 160 cm

you need to find your starting point, then you do the progression for that level
SLS from Foundation, also pic related

>160 cm

Skullcrush with literally skull curshing

because KYS

lol manlet

I have no routine, I just do 3-5 sets to failure 3-7 times a week.

Im a woman

Mirin back gains senpai. Do you use any kind of tempo on pull ups and are you gopd at front levers?

My starting point would be 0, as I train 5-6 days a week, but not calisthenics.

now you can start working out
