Left side is the exercise, right side is the mobility for that exercise, you do mobility after each set

FSAS - Fundamental Straight Arm Strength
FBAS - Fundamental Bent Arm Strength
FLS - Fundamental Leg Strength

the numbers like 5x60s means mastery for the movement, in this case you look at 60s/60rep template and follow that progression, once you hit mastery (can do 5x60s) you move to the next level

for negative movements, 5x5x10s means you descend for 10s each rep

>SL
SL progression seems to be different from PDF's

Foundation gives 3 routines:
>AxBxAxx
>ABxABxx
>ABABAxx
A: FL, sPL, HBP, RC
B: MN, SL, SLS


>Stretching

why aren't any good youtube channels mentioned in the sticky? They are much easier to understand and learn from than some confusing gymnastics program.

Any home bodyweight workouts that don't require rings/a pull up bar? I have no where to put either that would allow full ROM.

>>41224754
You can always do stuff like push ups, handstand stuff and planche work becasue all you need is the floor. But it is highly advised that you do SOME back work. Even if you can find a table and do rows on it its a good start.
There's a guy here that only does rows and curls for his back and he says its working good for him.

They have a shitty program to whore anon.
Getting fit and healthy with with bodyweight doesn't even factor into it.

>>41224754
Basically any of them.
Just replace all of the back exercises with horizontal rows and lat self resistance exercises.

>>41224805
yeah but whats the point of just whoring out foundation? Most people here don't care about gymnastics that much and find the street workout culture much more appealing.

>>41224823
I have no fucking clue. Might be because it's a complex clusterfuck of words that not even the calisthenics cunts over on reddit give a shit about.
Shit look at the stuff in OP. It's mostly shit.

This board is all about whoring lifting, power lifting to be precise, and shilling gear and supps.

We can have a beyond basic as fuck bodyweight and stretching program that anyone can follow and slap a big old 4Chan /fit/ on it.

stop samefagging boi

>>41225596
few things I noticed compared to video from Foundation:
your lean is slightly less than it should be

when you bounce, your shoulders are all over the place, if you look at foundation video, the proper form is to lean a bit forward on legs going up. The idea is to load your shoulders with more weight than lean itself, so you should feel it in shoulders, I believe when you have legs in the air, you should try to limit their dropping speed with your shoulders, that is, try to hold the legs in the air

I removed the SLS progression from my training.

Everything else looks good but that progression just seems senseless to me.
I'm going to integrate with a 1 day/week session of oly lifting and squats.

Doing 5 sets of 30 seconds to achieve full planche is like doing 5 sets of 15 pull ups to reach 1 arm pull up

what is the most impressive thing any of you faggotd can do?

>>41228694
I can do a handstand for 10 seconds

hi /bwg/

I do 2x 45 push-ups and 2x 10 pull-ups every other day. My right elbow has started to hurt after and it radiates over the top of my forearm. It's not an injury yet, but I've had enough injuries to know that's where it's headed.

I was just in to talk to my doc about it and she said it might be tendonitis. I asked her what I could do to prevent it and

>nothing
>get more rest
>stop doing push-ups and pull-ups

Fuck that. I don't think 45 pushups twice is too many (I worked up to it really slowly too, from 10 over 6 months).

What do I do to keep doing pushups and not fuck up my elbow?

>>41228802
take a week off, if you fuck your elbow up you'll be out for way longer than that

>>41224141
Would doing one hand planks get me closer to doing one hand pushups?

>>41228823
I did. after the workout again the twinge is coming back.

My doctor didn't say to stop for a minute, she meant to stop, forever. She said there was nothing I could do.

>>41228894
I doubt it. Do archer pushups instead.

Yes.
You can also lift heavy logs and stones and the like if you need extra weight.

You can easily make a heavy sandbag and kettlebell with a gallon jug and some small rocks or wet sand.

I had the tiniest forearms some weeks ago I started doing finger extensions and wrist PU stuff and they've grown, but I can't have 3 fucking rest days every time.

Planche pushups are the closest thing.

Could you guys recommend me a good workout for hypertrophy? I'm 5'11, 134lbs and I'm borderline auschwits mode but I want to change. I already read the sticky and I know how much calories I will have to eat everyday. I was thinking of doing the RR on Le reddit but the progress on most people seem to be very slow. I know some people gain muscle faster than others but how long it will take until I start looking above average?

>>41230809
not yo girl karen, but do you do any other scapular retraction work? pullups kept fucking my shoulders up until i started incorporating inverted rows, face pulls, and face-to-wall wall slides, focusing on spreading the shoulder blades both on the way up and down.

also rolling with lacrosse balls helped immensely

>>41232686
[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_93yIKub98 ] This is for the elbows.
[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_1ylJ-9twY&t=265s ] This is also for the elbows.
Pain might be from the pull ups. Watch the videos. Speed them up or whatever.

And military push ups suck. They are too easy. You can do them, but you have to add weight. You had to add weight a long time ago. Then they wouldn't suck as much. Or maybe you want to be able to do 100 military pull ups. If that's your goal I guess what you are doing will work. How the hell should I know what you want to achieve?

>>41232832
progress is pretty slow with bodyweight honestly cause you gotta build that tendon strength so you dont snap your shit up. reddits's routine is good, foundation is good, honestly you cant go wrong as long as your routine has some form of progression and isnt meme-tier like burpees and jumping jacks.

if you're looking for straight hypertrophy your best bet is to work up to weighted pullups/chinups and weighted dips along with other shit like rows, pushups, ab work, squats, ect.

>>41232832
what you do in the gym is only sparking the process. Muscle building happens outside of the gym. Progress is slow because of shitty diet and sleep. If you can't say you are confident that you are eating accordingly to your goals, than it doesn't matter what routine you chose.

If i'm currently doing about 5 sets of push ups and inverted rows for 10 reps how long before I move to chin ups and dips?

Work out every other day.

Still too weak to do negatives.

>>41233096
don't you follow a progression guide?

>>41233149
Nah. Got one?

>>41233096
you can go about it a ton of ways honestly

honestly, i started doing pullup negatives at 3x8 inverted rows, so if you're at 5x10 i don't think you're too weak to start.

but if you do feel too weak, just start doing active hangs off pullup bars, and attempt negatives when you can.

same with dips, i feel like 5x10 pushups is enough to move onto negatives, but again, if not, work on your support holds, just holding yourself up on p-bars. also you can progress to diamond/close hand pushups first if you're feeling that.

important that you practice good form now and properly retract/depress scapula so you dont have problems later

>>41232756
Just upload wherever you like, and I'll follow.

you are auswitz (unless grill) so first you have to aim to look 'normal' TDEE lists you ar 2kcal maintenance, so eat around 2.5kcal to gain weight, as you gain weight you will have to slowly increase calorie intake as >>41232944 said, you might find better luck with lifting for looks, there's also an option to do bw stuff for hypertrophy, but you will need to add weight to exercises, instead of progressing to harder variations

I can't really say, anon, I gained strength that's for sure, also my tendons are much healthier now. Just this winter slipped on ice and fell, took the blow on my right hand (hit the ground with palm) felt slight tingling in my right triceps, but no wrist problems *happy*
I do curls and rows with weights, so I attribute my 'looks' to those, also I increased my protein intake recently, which also seems to help in looks department (I'll be sure to come and brag here when I get a visible sixpack, desu)

I find BW more rewarding progression wise, I do Foundation, so when I start a level, I can barely do 3x3, then a few months later I'm doing 4x12 and that is really satisfying
>I can barely do 3 reps, fuck this is so hard

What are your go to come backs when idiot gym bros say you can't build muscle with body weight training? I always say your muscles don't know the difference between body weight and the weight of a bar, they just know weight.

Bent Hollow Body Rocks question.
Do you keep the hollow body throughout the whole movement? I break form when I rock towards my legs.

I did scapula push ups and pull ups along with band pull apart so before I do the pull ups. My shoulder is still aching today, fucking sucks man.

>>41236159

did you add weight or get the angle vertical?

BAKA yall don't know about the GB OG slizzardman. Dude weighs 210+ pounds and could do shit like this.

pow

I have started doing the HS foundation training.

Everything looks good except for WR progression. The movement seem to really be hard on the brachioradialis tendon, is it actually safe to do?
I was thinking about removing it.

>>41239023
No but my core isnt the limiting factor in my front lever so i dont think i would benefit from them

>>41241599

lmao, missing out

When to start adding weight to dips?
I tried them and I could do 3x10 pretty easily, probably good for more. Should I add weight (like 2.5kg) now or should I keep doing BW for a while to get the motor pattern down? I'm a bit shaky when doing them still.

>>41229558

>>41243100
3x10-3x15 range is good imo

>>41243252
People can identify me from some of my bookmarks.

>>41243899

the best core work out there, what other core work can you progressively overload? If the front lever is so easy for you i assume you're going to aim for the Victorian?

>>41244678
front lever isnt easy yet, I just know that my core isnt the limiting factor.

>>41244776

Yet it's the biggest part of the front lever.

>>41245050
Not true, at all.

been grinding tuck front lever and am a bit confused how to progress to an extended leg

should i be leaning back hard to balance the legs? is it my core or legs or back that is pulling my lower half up

just need a retard's guide to the biomechanics honestly

>>41245141
Try pulling the bar down to your hips. And dont just go to 1 leg out, try advanced tuck first and try front lever raises.

>>41245160
>Try pulling the bar down to your hips.

just to clarify, you mean with straight arms right? like line up the bar with my hips?

will do with the adv tuck and raises

>>41245418
yeah with straight arms try pulling the bar to your hips. It's actually what you do during a front lever raise and if done correctly the bar will land on your hips.

>>41245435
thanks, that helps alot actually, makes alot more sense for the balance

>>41236575

Resistance is resistance as long as your progressively overload you will get stronger. Then they ask how and you show them and watch a they fail to do the moves. Actually got some people trying to learn moves outside of weightlifting this way and they compliment on the gains they made trying to achieve it as well.

>>41245141
Also forgot to mention whats raising you up is your lats and upper back, not legs or core. All your legs and core do is stabilize.

>>41245066

lmao, do tell? How many people who do weighted pull-ups can do frontlever?

>>41246137
I know of a guy that achieved it just by doing weighted pull ups but still just anecdotal evidence.
So go start doing front levers yourself and see what the limiting factor is.

>>41246163

The core yah dunce,

>>41246163

Dont mean to appeal to authority but why else do you think theres so much core work paired with the front lever progressions, or rather done before the start of front lever progressions?

>>41246177
The core is used but for most people its not a limiting factor especially if you are not beginner.

>>41246189

ok what is the limiting factor?

>>41247069
Straight arm pull strength.

Guys is this workout imbalanced?
5x5 pull ups weighted
5x5 dips weighted
5x5 chin ups weighted
5x10 hindu push ups
side planks, planks
leg raises
lunges 3x16
goblet squats 3x20
step ups 3x10 each leg
back extensions 3x12

Is that too many chin ups compared to dips or something will I look like a hunchback or something?

>>41247582

How often per week? Why are you doing 5x5 on all the movements weighted movements? What are your goals? Why do you have a million leg pressing variations?

>>41247471

Lmao, straight arm and core strength more like.

>>41247700
Every other day. Sometimes if I don't feel ready I wait 2 days. I don't know why 5x5 I got it from this program. Leg pressing variations? I don't know man do I need something to balance it?

>>41247723

What are your goals tho? 3x5 is fine as long as you warm-up, but i dont see why you have so many squat variations, and why you have chin-ups and pull-ups.

>>41247582
id personally swap out the chins or pullups for inverted rows, ideally front lever rows for some better variance
are the hindu pushups just in there for shoulder health? id personally swap em for a pseudo planche pushups progression
id throw in more ab work than planks as those get pretty easy. unless you dont give a fuck about abs lol

>>41247700
Dont forget to include leg strength, since you have to keep your legs straight during the movement. And grip strength too. So front lever is based on grip, straight arm pull, leg, core and asshole clenching strength.
Listen mr weighted crunches, front lever is an intermediate move, which means to start training for it you need basic core strength, which is why so many programs recommend training your core before training front lever. Now if you are training DIRECTLY for the front lever, you most likely already have the core strength necessary to train for it. If not you should stick to your leg raises, weighted crunches, and flags until you are ready.
Next you are gonna tell me the human flag is a core exercise.

>>41247811
No real goals just athleticism/muscle I guess. The pull up and chin up is just because like I said got it in a program but I do feel like it trains a bit differently chin ups has a longer range of motion. The squat variations I don't know just a thing do you think I should stick to only one thing? am I overtraining my quads or something maybe I should do some weirder stuff like glute raises/glute ham raises for hamstrings? I would like to do sled push and farmers walks as well maybe on some days.

>>41247582
Have you ever actually done this? Do you really think you can do 50 reps of weighted chin ups and pull ups? I think you are gonna be sacrificing quality for that. What i would do is switch between pull ups and chin ups every 2 weeks for the 1st exercise and for the second exercise id do something unweighted like archer pull ups, pull overs or front lever raises.

>>41247891
Lol no but my weight belt is in transit because doing unweighted got easy. Cool thx for the input guys.

3x5 pull ups weighted
3x5 dips weighted
3x10 row variation
3x10 hindu push ups or some other press variation
Squat variation 3x10
laying floor leg curl 3x10


My take on what you could do, on the 3x10 exercises you could keep doing them will you reach 3x15 once they're too easy find a harder variation or add weight. Without more info i can't really help

fuck this guy

Woah, lads. I dreamt I was doing human flags. I really wanna do those, I think it's time to start working towards em.

>>41243100
Depends, you could stick to 3x3 and keep adding weight, or go for 15 rep mastery without adding weight

>>41247582
I wouldn't do variations on the same muscle group, but that's just me

Is mobility and flexibility something that stays with you forever, kinda like muscle memory? If I start doing serious flexibility for pike and pancake compression, ear to toe and all that jazz, will I have to do it regularly forever?

>>41250621
the older you get the more frequently you have to do mobility to keep it
say you get splits, you can probably stretch once a week to maintain, but later expect to do them every day to keep mobility

>>41250660
So calisthenics, or at least gymnastics, is a young man's game? That sucks. By the time one gets the strength and mobility to do a manna you'll already be too old to do anything else with your life in addition progressively losing your abilities with time.

>>41250660
Unless you're genetically just flexible. I can go years without stretching and still slide into perfect splits (which I've done). And I'm 27 arm
>need to stretch everyday
Nope.jpg but there is a downside to being naturally flexible - joints fall out of place easily and stuff slides out of allignment

>>41250451
Yes, but only if ur naturally fl3xible to begin with

>>41250721

Not necessarily. There's people who are 60+ with gymnastics bodies doing planche and iron cross.

>>41250721

People take the human body for granted, it can do amazing things at any age.

You have to pay to be a trip fag? since when?

How do you time yourselves during handstands?? I videotape myself every time and watch it after the workout. This is a slight problem, because I am trying to follow the mastery tables in foundation.

For example today I advanced from Headstand to a forearm headstand. My time was 50s 57s 25s 90s 30s. I lost balance a couple of times. No idea what I should aim for (from the mastery tables) next week. I think 4x48s or 5x60s.

You know what I mean, you fucking autist.

>>41251517
Yes, but you can set it to a beat to say 12bpm, meaning 1 click every 5 seconds, easier to count. Alternatively, alarm which you start after getting into position or before but you give yourself exact time to get into pos.
P.s. I'm not a fucking autist.
