you can do it as often as you want, if you can recover
>>
>>38355101
Last guy that tried this ended up losing an arm and a leg.

But if you feel like you can do it go ahead. I dont see why a bit of cardio should stop you.
>>
>>38355101
Unless you're doing 1 hour of HIIT everyday and 1 hour of legs than you're far from over training.
Most people can handle a lot more frequency than they think they can.

I use to do Taekwondo training from 2-3 hours 5 days a week which would have HIIT, Legs training, bodyweight and intense Taekwondo training.

I would go home sore exhausted and covered in sweat. I had DOMS at first but as I kept doing it that went away and that was the fittest i've ever been.

which part of your legs is giving out? try to relax your legs or do hanging leg raises if you can

there are non with perfect form, couldn't find any at least, best I found:

-5x10 10 kg weighted pull ups
-5x15 parallel dips
-5x10 10 kg curls
-4x15 diamond push ups
-5x15 bench dips
-4x25 sit ups
-4x15 bodyweight squats

3 times a week with cardio in between

give me some criticism please and how this could be improved/what else should I incorporate
>>
>>38356216
where's the progress?
you also do 3 exercises for triceps
>>
I'm extremely skinny with some belly fat but overall skinny super small wrist 5'6 133lb with no access to a gym or rings or any sort of equipment, can i still get /fit/?

If so what kind of a routine should i have in order to put on some muscle weight?
>>
>>38356897
you need to eat first
I do Foundation and it works for me, link in OP
>>
If my goal is aesthetics should i skip bodyweight and do a barbell split?
>>
>>38358654
Theres no point in doing bodyweight for pure aesthetics unless you have no access to a gym. With a gym you can isolte whatever muscles you have and progressive overload much easier.
I mainly do bodyweight for the athleticism and strength that comes with it but i still look pretty good at low bf.

>>38356136
Do you have autism?
Like, seriously. Do you have autism?
Why the fuck would you even want to prove that somewhere, in the middle of nowhere, someone, a nobody, can do a one-hand handstands push up, while 99,(9)% of the planet's population won't be even able to approach doing it, let alone do it for fuckin reps?

You're approaching crossfit-tier faggotry.
>>
>>38358654
It's easier to get big on weights.
>>
>>38358654
Do both
>>
>>38358654
yeah. bodyweight training is hard and it takes a long time to get aesthetic from.

take a lesson from gymnasts etc for aesthtics - low body fat, highly developed abs and big delts make for very aesthetic physiques. if gymnasts had better legs i'd call them the most aesthetic athletes in the world.

I've posted this progress pic here on fit and /bwg/ but i want a couple more opinions. Being 5'11
what would my optimal weight be for the purpose of efficient bodyweight training since generally
you dont want to be too heavy. Right now I'm like 169 lbs and skinnyfat essentially and currently working on my posture and strength

Should I stay around 170 lbs and just eat my tdee or am I better off cutting maybe another 5-10 lbs just to get a bit more fat off me. My current routine is going to be doing both
bodyweight with mobility and plyometrics 3 days a week

my ultimate goal is to do a handstand and shit. Basically all the stuff I've wanted to do since I was a kid
>>
>>38365671
Im 168 and im doing just fine but im 5'8".
Theres really no ideal weight for this stuff.
>>
>>38365671
just google for some athletes with your heigh, what I did anyway, maintaining 200lbs but I'm 6'3"

you could just maintain your weight until you get rid of the fat, then slowly put on more mass

Been doing mostly the startbodyweight.com routine.

For the first time ever, my rep numbers went down instead of up.

Couldn't do 11/11/11 pike pushups, had to settle with 10/12/10 even though I did 11/11/10 two days ago.

Felt pretty bad desu

Im trying out the reddit meme workout since it looks legit and all, but to be honest the progressions seem a bit ambiguous, specially the skill training part.

I'll continue using it since i always wanted to do handstands and muscle ups, dont really care about aesthetics for now.

I'm practicing for OAP/OAC.

When I use two finger on the assisting hand, what am I working? My grip strength or my single arm strength?

I can only do about 3 reps right now, I'll try to get more before I do 1 finger.
>>
>>38375491
Your grip strength will be lacking with the assisting hand resulting in less assistance. So a bit of both.
>>
don't know if this is the right thread but here it goes. how long will it take me to learn a handstand and how strong do I have to be for it or is it all just coordination and balance ?
>>
>>38375556
I think it depends. I would say im intermediate in calisthenics but my handstand is weak as fuck. I can barely hold it for a couple seconds without assistance.
That said i barely train it so that explains why im bad.
>>
to the people that can do a muscle up, how are your stats for a strict pullup, how many reps or which weight can you guys do ?

I can do about 4 on rings and maybe 1-2 on bar.

anything timed in my workout is a total of 60s, I can't do any of it for a total of 60s so I break it down into as few sets as possible.
>Push Mon/Thu
Handstand practice
Ring turned out L-sit 60s
Tuck Planche 60s
Ring turned out dip 3x8
Straight arm ring fly 3x8

>Pull Tue/Fri
Handstand practice
Advanced tuck front lever 60s
Uneven chinups 3x8
Tuck front lever rows 3x8
Rear delt fly 3x8


Fuck straight arm ring flyes. I don't feel it at all in my chest but I need to condition my elbows to handle planche and iron cross stress down the road.
Also, fuck handstands. I want wider shoulders so I need to do handstand pressups but I just can't learn the balance, its been 1.5 months now and my longest hold is 15s.
I don't want to let myself do wall assisted handstand pushups because if I do I'll never train my handstand.

Hey fellas this is a pic of me in clothing completely relaxed. Ive noticed im starting to fill out shirts more(im wearing medium in pic) since when i first started calisthenics.

Hey I'm not telling you what do or anything but you got a lot of unnecessary movements.

If you are trying to progress things like front lever, planche, and one arm chin it would be best to cut out the rows and crap and just up the sets of the main goals.

But to each their own if you dont end up taking my advice.

>>38378597

Alright was just saying because I had a routine just like yours at first and made progress very slowly and once I upped the sets of my main moves and dropped the others the progress just exploded in weeks.

Thats why I thought I'd comment.
>>
>>38378732
Why bother? Because they make you stronger.
In what way are weighted dips terrible for your shoulder joint that regular dips aren't...?

If I weigh 80kg and do dips is it fine?
If I weigh 80kg +10kg of weight and do dips it's bad for me?
What about if I weight 90kg and do dips?
At what body weight does it become bad for your shoulders?

It's a great exercise and you can safety add weight to them as long as you keep good form and don't rush into too heavy of weights

1. It makes you feel good
2. It makes skills easier
3. Increase performance
4. Reduces chance of injury
5. Improve recovery rates and blood flow

>can a literally who make a muscle up at the age of 14
i don't see why not
>>
>>38380855
Start off with ring support holds and ring push ups
Sounds like you have poor pectoral flexibility or weak connective tissue.

Stretching, form rolling and massaging can help. Make sure you're well warmed up before doing exercise.

Total newfag on bw routines, can someone point me a good starter routine?

pistol squats
lunges
push ups
dips between chairs
handstands
dragon flags
table rows
table front lever to muscle up to planche

have fun anon. One of the great things about bodyweight is you don't need a lot of equipment to get a good workout and can do it anywhere. Bars aren't hard to find either. Plenty of parks around and such.

Im this guy >>38365671 and have scrawny as fuck shoulders
>>
>>38385612
Planche and pretty much any vertical pushing/HSPU progression
>>
>>38353255
According to that leddit link:
>This routine will cover the following goals:
>Strength
>Hypertrophy (provided your diet is in check)
>Fat Loss (provided your diet is in check)
They never explain anything about diet though, should I just apply what's written in /fit/´s sticky?
>>
>>38385808
Yes.
Nutrients and calories do not somehow change when your bodyweight is tge resistance.
>>
>>38384768
damn, i look exactly the same. what's your routine?
>>
>>38385927
I dont have one
>>
If i'm a complete beginner what would i need to work on in order to do a frontlever?
>>
>>38386683
The front lever itself. Just easier progressions.
Perhaps assistance stuff for core atabilizatiom as well.
>>
What exercises develop better the chest? I can do 3x12 decline diamond push ups and my pecs aren't joocy at all
>>
tfw recently moved and have 0 places in the house to support the rings.

tfw too poor to build a place to put a pull-up bar/rings
>>
>>38387188
Dips.
Without dips you will never have a good chest with bodyweight exercises
>>
I always see people on fit talk about weighted dips like they're a meme. Are they?
>>
>>38388199
Defs not a meme.

Do them with perfect form, and you will reap the benefits m8, trust me.

I can dip 50kg (71kg BW) for reps and I'd say my chest is pretty fucking joocy.

See how easy that is?

>>38353255
I've been doing pullups 5 days a week. Is it bad that my elbows are sore? I don't go hardcore with them. Just grease the groove sets of 4-5.
>>
Is there any real benefit to doing muscle ups for sets or is it more efficient to stick to various pull up and dip routines, and just doing some muscle ups once every week just to keep my form in check?
>>
>>38388788
I do ring muscle ups for sets because its a good forearms, tricep and chest exercise but i rarely do bar muscle ups.
Up to you.
>>
>>38388566
Do it 3 times a week and either make the other 2 days into rest days or target other muscle groups on those days, like legs or lower back.
Doing pull ups too regularly can fuck with your gains.
>>
>>38388831
Thanks m8, seems like ring muscle ups are more effective due to balancing and the different movement pattern compared to the bar muscle up.
>>
so I am learning to do a handstand and can get into position and hold it for like 1-2 seconds atm. I noticed that my lower back is sore after practicing them for a while. is this normal or a muscular imbalance / bad technique ?
>>
>>38388878
I imagine hollowbodies and archerholds would help
>>
>>38388878
You are most likely arching your back. A good handstand stacks the joints in a line. Feet, knees, hips, shoulders, hands should all be in a straight line idealy to put load through the skeleton and off of the muscles. Practise hollow body holds, wall handstands facing the wall trying to get your arms close to the wall. Push up through the shoulders to open them up and flex everything, point your toes. Hold these for 30-60secs
>>
>>38388566
Watch out for tendonitis
>>
Can you actually build muscle and get swolle (obviously not as much as with a gym, but something) with these exercises or do they just get you toned and all that?
>>
>>38390168
Yes you can. No reason you shouldnt.

Its called GYMnastics for a reason. They workout in a gym.
>>
>>38390400
Some lift weights, some don't.

You have to remember that gymnast don't train to get big. They train to be better at the 6 events they compete in.

You'd also be surprised at how big you can get without weights. Once I started working rope climbs, my biceps exploded.

What's a hybrid lifting/bwg routine? Some kind of transitional routine I can maintain for a couple months before I start training purely calisthenics because my future is bleak and I won't have the time/money to gym all the time. My plan is to keep barbell squatting and diddlylifting until I reach decent numbers, while the other exercises gradually shift to bodyweight equivalents, and then when the end comes the squats and diddlies will be gone also.

I've dabbled with bodyweight for a while before taking up lifting, and I was able to maintain those skills. I can already do intermediate stuff like one arm pushups, pistols, hanging windshield wipers, etc., so I don't have to start at zero. I also have gymnastic rings and a horizontal bar at home.

And maybe I'll start lifting again when this gamble pays off. I'm doing SL right now if it matters.

I'm having trouble with one legged squat. When I extend one leg forward I get cramps in that leg. Other, standing leg, is forced on the toes.

That is why I'm doing squats up on a stump and do a pretty normal squat but one leg is in the air. Does this still count as one legged squat?
>>
>>38394744
The reason you get cramps is probably because your quads arent strong enough and you go on your toes due to lack of balance and flexibility.
Yeah that still counts as a squat but you should still work your way up to a full pistol squat.
