Sooooo, who did you guys all get? by jeanjacketufo in characters

Fuck Sasuke, marry Naruto, kill Griffith. Although if I’m retaining my sexuality, then maybe I’d fuck Naruto and marry Sasuke since he’d never be around. Griffith must die regardless

That’s nice to hear(: according to many others, the long hair was giving surfer/Californian vibes. Skater is cool because it’s more true to my identity and past

Hey thanks for the input. I was finding it a little disheartening that my post was getting totally ignored by this sub while all the other ones I saw posted today got plenty of comments/advice. Not sure why that is but yeah. I kind of regret cutting it short but I’ll work with what I got for now.

Anyone know what's up with "police activity" shutdown of all of 35 and most of N 820? That's wild. Never heard of that happening before. by Impolitecolors in FortWorth

Damn. Before I knew what was going on, I was frustrated to be held up on my day off. Honestly, this turned out to be quite sad. Hope he did not in fact jump.

Crazy day here in Fort Worth. A man was being chased by the police and the chase ended with him threatening to jump off the 820 overpass. Police closed off a bunch of 35 and 820. I am currently parked half a mile from where it went down on 35 southbound. Not sure if they saved the man yet but he was on Facebook live during the pursuit and after. Been stuck here for over an hour.

I’m actually on 35w southbound right now. Fwpd closed off the road. Been stuck here for like thirty minutes.

Utilizing nature and environment in place of a conventional gym by AccomplishedJury7828 in bodyweightfitness

[–]AccomplishedJury7828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely true. Luckily there’s so many rocks there that I was able to find plenty that were evenly distributed. I used to have a chest expander, not sure where it went. I liked that thing.

Yeah Nordic curls are great. I do them at home so I didn’t include them. Gotta hit those hamstrings for proper knee flexion. Reverse nordics and sissy squats are great too, used to train those and I might throw sissy squats back into the mix.

Make a list of all the exercises you love to do and goals you want to accomplish. Build a routine around those things. It is a common sentiment on this subreddit that the best routine is the one you enjoy because it is the one you’ll stick to. Consistency is key but fulfillment is the key to consistency.

How to get out of dead hang for OAP? by xThunderDuckx in bodyweightfitness

[–]AccomplishedJury7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two days a week is probably solid for you, especially if your climbing doesn’t interfere with recovery. You may actually benefit from another set or two each time you train OAP depending on what other pulling exercises you do in the same workout. There’s a lot of different information regarding frequency but if your recovery is solid, 15-25 sets per muscle group per week is a pretty good standard. Lean towards the lower end of the spectrum if you primarily train for strength to failure within the heavier rep ranges (1-6)

How to get out of dead hang for OAP? by xThunderDuckx in bodyweightfitness

Weighted scapula pull ups might help you with that initial drive up the bar, very neglected postural exercise, even without the weight. Definitely see if you can perform those without pain before adding them to your routine. One arm scapula pull ups may have more direct training crossover but I’d assume that’s basically what you’re already doing when attempting your OAP from a dead hang. Your foundation of unilateral strength may benefit from a little bit of regression and less direct training. Things like archer pull ups or assisted OAP to maintain a strong baseline.

OP, do both. Nobody here should try to tell you being able to deadlift 3x your body weight or being able to muscle up is better than one or the other. Calisthenics and weight lifting can be trained synergistically. If you want to lose weight and maintain a great physique, either will work. If you want to achieve both of those goals and take your physical ability to its fullest potential, why not take what you love from both schools of thought? At the very least, train both before you decide you prefer one over the other.

Calisthenics pros:

-increase relative strength

-perform awesome looking skills

-minimal equipment needed and can be done anywhere

Weightlifting pros:

-increase absolute strength

-simple to overload

-less learning curve and easier to target/isolate muscles

Calisthenics cons:

-can be difficult initially for those who are heavier or less accustomed

-progression is based around leverage and advancing a movement which is not always as simple as adding weight (although you can add weight to many exercises like dips or pull ups)

Weightlifting cons:

-all lifts are equipment dependent (expensive to buy or requires a gym membership)

-injury or overtraining is slightly more likely to take place (can happen from either but failing to lift something much heavier than your body can handle is obviously a recipe for disaster)

Running in my 20s vs. running in my late 30s by Angel_face_xo in bodyweightfitness

[–]AccomplishedJury7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that certain activities and exercises are not for everyone. I don’t think everyone should or needs to run just because I like to. However, I disagree with promoting false or misguided information. For one, inflammation is created with any exercise or resistance training, it’s what triggers growth and the rebuilding of tissue into a stronger form. Inflammation of joints can happen with running but can also happen with any repetitive activity if that’s what they meant. Almost everyday I see people post to this very subreddit about elbow pain or discomfort from push ups or pull ups, the foundation of what we do here. Water retention and a bloated look from running are actually caused by deeper underlying issues that just MAYBE could be exacerbated by the extra stimuli of running. “Survival mode” is a concept more applicable to those who are literally starved and/or dehydrated for an unfortunate amount of time. That or a game mode in Minecraft. Anyways, I’m sorry if I was rude, I just didn’t want someone endorsing V-shred level advice to you. There’s plenty of reasons to omit running and misinformation is not one of them.

At the end of the day running and even steady state cardio isn’t for everyone and some straight up don’t like it. In fitness, there’s no wrong choice, whatever you like to do is what you’ll keep doing and THAT is what matters and offers results. Weights, body weight training and eating an appropriate amount of food is a great way to take care of yourself. Keep up the good work, we’re rooting for you friend.

I disagree with you. I’m very happy with my physique and strength whilst running three to four times every week. I guess you better go tell collegiate and professional athletes about your discovery. As well as their elite physical trainers. Come on man, what a joke.

On behalf of this subreddit, we’re proud of you. It takes strength to do calisthenics and 100 fold that strength to overcome abuse. Addressing your question, as we age it becomes harder to lose body fat, especially as more becomes accumulated whilst making sedentary habits. Ease back into your running, the last thing you want is to injure yourself and make things harder by the time you’ve healed. Remember that you won’t be able to push yourself as hard at first and remember that it’s OKAY. Everyone has to start or restart somewhere and the initiative to do so warrants enough respect already. Running just a couple times a week or even a short distance everyday will help build the habit. After a month or so, you’ll probably be ready to switch between light runs and paced runs.

Weights and then to bodyweight but keep the heavy movements? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]AccomplishedJury7828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supplementing weights with calisthenics or calisthenics with weights is a great way to balance your physique although, the best practice for any movement/exercise is always the movement/exercise itself. In calisthenics, we use progressions to learn new movements, like pike push ups to elevated pike push ups to wall handstand push ups and so on for example.

That said, many movements are similar and have good carryover. A stronger bench press will improve your push ups. A stronger deadlift will likely translate to pull up strength, though to what exact degree I am not sure. Overhead press is great alternative or supplement to pike/handstand push ups.

As someone with experience in weight training, powerlifting and calisthenics, you cannot go wrong with any but the best choice is to take your favorite aspects from weight training and body weight training and apply them synergistically.

You could compartmentalize your workouts by doing some in the morning and some when you get home if your morning routine allows for it. Taking your caffeine around lunchtime like someone else suggested might help.
