The kickass torrent links are all dead broskis
Josiah Russell
Yeah that's because this general is several years old. kickass torrents doesn't exist anymore.
Just search Mastering GST and GMB videos in torrentz2.eu
Easton Cruz
Thanks dudes I'll do that
Logan Bell
What do you guys do for cardio? Same day as calisthenics, or alternate?
Robert Adams
Is convict conditioning any good?
Jayden Reyes
Its hard to tell. Might just be general weakness or might be an unbalance or something. Often its caused by weak hamstrings and glutes so you could try doing lots of glute bridge raises and leg curls using a towel on the floor.
For glute bridges work up to sets of 50 reps, do something like 3x50 then move on to one leg variation. After that put your feet on a table or chair or something while you are lying on the floor.
For leg curls using a towel on the floor work up to 3 sets of 15 reps and then start doing them 1 legged.
When i did calisthenics my leg routine consisted of Squats Glute Bridge Raises Leg Curls

I usually lift three days à week and do Calisthenics+Cardio on off days

How do you increase back muscle activation when doing pull ups?
Matthew Perez
Imagine yourself to be pulling through your elbows is one trick ive heard. Need help for back activation myself
Jayden Hall
check'd i think imagining your elbows "blocked" will also help focus on using more your back instead of your arms
Isaiah King
Excellent timing fren. Whats a good BW exercise for delts?
Joseph Wright

I'm getting back into it since I kinda did bodyweight stuff in high school before just being lazy and going to the gym. Could do muscle-ups and legit one-hand pull-ups but never any of the things that involved core strength.
Is the /reddit/ sticky a good workout?
Sebastian Adams
Tried that, seemed to work, but I can only bring my chin above the bar, not my chest to the bar. Also struggling to bring my elbows back behind me. Could this be a mobility issue? Or maybe my grip width is too narrow?
Robert Martinez
Could you elaborate more?
Grayson Bell
Putting forward a couple channels to add to the youtube links
2) Calisthenics youtuber with emphasis on weighted exercises and building a muscular physique, with vlogging on the side. Exercise progression vids are easy enough to follow and tips are decent youtube.com/user/GeekAMD
Also Thenx should be up there, since it's one of the more popular channels for people to see cali as a legit thing youtube.com/user/TheMiamiTrainer
Connor Ortiz
please bear with me, english not my first language like, imagine your elbows have a very low ROM so that all the movement is to be done around the shoulder joint, that should engage your back more instead of relying on your arms
Adrian Allen
We should update the links in general half of them are dead
So is this called an L-sit to handstand or what? I figured that since the arms are in front of the legs (and there are no parallel bars) that it's some sort of *-sit of some sort. Also, what's the progression for this?
Brody Brooks
Try squatting bare foot. Worked for me with a dodgy knee
Kayden Murphy
Pike pushups to build shoulder strength. Practice handstands against a wall to get used to holding the position and getting used to holding yourself upsidown. Progress to handstand pushups against a wall. Also practice freestanding handstands, and don't be afraid to fall. Eventually you'll get used to the technique of the handstand and have the strength for a full bodyweight handstand pushup
Colton Hall
the only good bw exercise is pullup and pushup
Kayden Anderson
Post what you have learned since the last /bwg/. I remember being here a year ago.
1.Gymnasts consider front lever a dead end, since the next progression is a victorian cross, and (almost) nobody can do it. That's why I prioritized back levers, planches and Iron cross, cause they work similarly. Front lever is something you do just so that you avoid muscle imbalances. 2.When stretching don't forget about active flexibility for front split, middle split ..(I did) 3.Iron cross with protracted shoulders is easier but causes shoulder impingement.
Stuff I haven't found the answer to. 1. Is it possible to achieve pancake without painfully exhausting stretching. 2. What's the pain in my fucking wrist. >pinky side >pain on supination pronation >sometimes pain during ring support, during parallel bars support, >pain when wrist is extended(in handstand or plank) if I push with my fingers (if I use flexors)
>pain goes away if I do pic related, while using something heavy to apply pressure. >pain goes away if I strongly grip my forearm just above the wrist >pain goes away if I do the same thing but instead of gripping the whole forearm, I just apply pressure only to the extensor muscle that is on the pinky side. (pic related)
I think it's possible that I've fucked something up when I was doing some sort of conditioning exercises for pommel horse. In those exercises I was smashing my palm against a hard surface/bars, I got the pain shortly after that I think. It's been 3-4 months now since then. I haven't tried anti inflammatory medication. I haven't done exercises for wrist extensors (because am to lazy)
can anyone write up some program for increasing max pullup strenght with weights on belt? im stuck at 40kg 1rm
Tyler Gutierrez
Currently doing bodyweightfitness' RR since a month. I also run on rest days, except sunday. Is that a good routine? Are there more recommended ones?
Also, I can't do pullups/dips yet though I should be able to soon due to requirements, is there anything else I can do while I finish building up for those two?
Jose Nguyen
gymnast here, same problem, you need to stop for at least a week and you absolutely need to do exercises with rubber bands, no ring, non parallel bars. Also apply ice for 20-45 minutes like 5-6 times a day.
James Nguyen
tips for beginners against injury?
Logan Ramirez
Do more.
Jose Nelson
okay I can deal with it, since I've already stopped doing handstands. Besides exercises with rubber bands, hanging from a bar/rings should be okay, right?
anything specific you're worried about? The most general tip is proper form and good warm up.
Landon Foster
Weak forearms and wrists. Feel aches in the bones after every workout day, not muscles but actual strain on the bones. I do basic bodyweight and a bit of pommel. Do you stretch before or after?
Are you the guy asking for injury prevention? Where the fuck did you get a pommel?
Anyways... is it both arms that hurt you? Sounds like forearm splints. Try squeezing hard your forearm bones together, right at the middle of the forearms - do you get the same pain like after workouts?
Adam Garcia
I do some of these but this video is great, thanks
There's a pommel at my university, I can't do anything fancy though just a bit of splits and dips. Yes I get pains in my wrists but its not splints, its just weak bones I only started doing this for the past 3 months, it's mostly during and after workout in my bones, especially on handstands but I'm going to try more things from that video.
Caleb Nguyen
What are peoples thoughts on the Thenics app? Any other really good bodyweight apps?
Literally just an app. On play store. Not sure what the iPhone equivalent is.
Parker Cruz
Straddle Press
Cooper Johnson
Athlean-x has great vids on BW rear and side delts exercises. For front delts handstand push-ups as other anons suggested. If u can't do them, look up handstand progression charts from diablo666 or convict conditioning
Ethan Thompson
Are we back in business? Where's Karen? Also I'm back at starting point basically becyi injured my shoulder playing rugby. Starting stuff like FL is so shitty good god.
Mason Perry
yea we back, haven't seen anybody post gymnasts yet. Maybe he's lurking. What's wrong with your shoulder btw
Jose Collins
Is such a move possible, and how vertical can you get. Basically holding the transition between maltese and inverted cross.
Whenever I do planche training or anything that puts pressure on my shoulder, when I release my body, my left shoulder doesn't exactly hurt but it feels odd, like a burning sensation that goes away in like 1 second or so. The weirdest part is that I don't feel any pain throughout the day. What could it be? Its worth noting that sometimes I also feel this in other joints, like bicep/forearm
Isaac Nguyen
I don't think I've ever seen anyone do this, I don't think its humanly possible to hold the transition in the rings. On the parallel bars though, there might be a good chance.
L-sit pull ups first. Once you get comfortable with them weighted pull ups are a possibility. The other way around doesn't make much sense.
I've done weighted L-pull ups, but I couldn't hold more than 20kg before my hip flexors failed. I put the weight on my quads. If you have a belt than you can easily go heavy on weighted L-pull ups.
Evan Smith
Thank you. I have trouble with my flexabilty, but that is sounds advice.
L-pull ups don't require that much flexibility... do some hamstrings stretches during warm up or something. like 1 set of 30 seconds would be enough just prior to pull ups. (with anterior pelvic tilt) and maybe do some seated leg lifts. like 1 set of 5 reps. This is the absolute minimum of flexibility I can think of and I am 100% sure it will be enough for L-sit and L-sit pull ups.
Tyler Gonzalez
got a 30s L-sit should i move onto Straddle L-sit, advanced L-sit (hips forward) or tucked V-sit?
Luke Powell
both. Straddle-L is only compression. Literally holding a pancake. Advanced L-sit is for triceps and back. Both are obligatory for Manna and V-sit.
You do straddle-l when you are stretching and you do Advanced-L when you are working out. I don't have an opinion on tucked-V. I am mainly doing advanced-L and manna wall slides and manna attempts
Christian Bennett

Logan Powell
How do I progress weighted pull ups?
A couple months ago I've done +20kg x 10 reps, +25x8. Now I do the same but a bit more with 30kg and 40kg (6 and 3 reps).

1) ssup bwg, am skinny and bigger head.. can you give me a routine to widen my body to fix the size ratio of my body and my head? 2) will increase the number of set (not rep) increase the volume/resistance too?
Aiden Morris
Got my Chinese power tower off fleabay today boys, wish me luck.
Nathan Fisher
I've started doing push ups to failure before I go to sleep because I"m an unhealthy piece of shit and I want to start doing something even if it's small. However, since doing that, I've been having somewhat severe pain in my lower neck/upper back every day. Is this a common thing? What should I be looking out for here?
Matthew Perez
Why do pushups to failure? You can get more volume by doing a large number of smaller sets.
Christian Nguyen
Thanks,I'll try that. I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing.
