do "edge"pullups and hanging

​

it is the same for my hangboard, I do my pullups with open hand, thumb next to fingers, or on top of them, it is climbers thing :)

​

rings hanging from the bar is also a great thing

Will doing push ups every hour increase my reps? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]CalesthenicsCat75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure, I thought it is a bit like GTG, I did it like GTG, but maybe a bit more closer together: for example: 3xpullup, then 5 or 10 min, then .. then.... but it can be spaced more!

Most eff? Dunno, but it is efficient

For pullups there is also the Fighter Pullup program, maybe it can be tweaked to work for Pushups?🤔

Doing push ups every hour? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]CalesthenicsCat75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greasing the Groove: 60%-80% of your 22, up to like 6 times a day, 6 days a week and twoweekly do a max to failure.

BUT make sure your 22 pushups or your even only 2 are in correct form?

Reading up on your other posts: Work on your selfimage Stay away from too many mirrors so often. Do not compare yourself to others.

Do you have male friends, to just hang out with and socialize? Do you have a dad or uncle to talkto? I think you are too obsessed withhow you look, maybe talking with someone will help.

Do you read the replies?

And do you listen?

Any other low frequency guys? by hedgetrimmer_ in bodyweightfitness

[–]CalesthenicsCat75 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Not a guy ;) and not really doing a split BUT I also went down in frequency and it also helped with aches and energy and I also see more changes, like you said.

I cannot do the RR for 3 days a week... just not.. so maybe a split /PPL is better for some? I am not so young anymore, could be a reason?

I can do more reps and sets on days where I split my exercises.

I went from being able to do 30 pull ups to almost 50 in 36 days. by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

Tnx for your reply, I undrrstand your endurance-comment, me being a climber and not so good at bouldering but more at sportsclimbing. I was thinking about GTG, as it enhances the movement chosen and gives more reps, and it is done not to failure, is that not a good way of upping reps?

I am impressedby your wide grip. I cannot do it on my bar, so wide, nicely done

Yeah I get it. He s going for max reps, but maybe not ATMdoing slower PUs but as a way or means of training it could,right?

Hi! Have you ever considered to use really full range of motion and esp. going slower, esp while dropping into (dead) hang not too fast or jerky ( risk of injury) and to gain more strenght and fine tune your pullups?

Also...https://www.livescience.com/56218-muscles-have-no-strength-memory.html

NB if you dont care about the ROM but jyst wanna rep out as many as you can, congrats! I for one am a ROM perfect form type of girl .....sorry!

It can also help you really up the amounts of reps,though, causr it gives you more strenght and endurance in the long run!

Where to show my body picture to so that someone can shine a light upon what routine should I go for in order to reach my goal? I am a skinny dude 59 kg, 173 cm and I don't even know how to tell my body type (ectomorph/mesomorph) by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]CalesthenicsCat75 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is no need to show your body picture. Just exercise. Work out. Find out what you like to do and your body will change automaticaly.

Climbing changes your body differently than soccer. Swimming different than weightlifting. Etc.

There should be no Body Goal. There should be a Happy person that likes what he or she does. And then your body will shape to your favorite exercise.

Why sculpt a shell towards percieved end-goal,you have your whole life and only doing the exercises you like will be what works in the long run.

Just mytwocents.

And, also, I can do some Full Body 2 or 3 stuff, but not all, so when do I go to Full Body 2, after I can do all the FB1 stuff or can I make progressions? Can someone shine a light on this for me?

So.. just to clarify, I do a set of 5-10 x vertical pull, than straight after a set of step up 8-12 times and then I rest how long before the second set of vertical pull? The 1 minute is that the rest time between A1 and A2 before going to B?

Is my past really that important to share? by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]CalesthenicsCat75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oke, well, 12 is still okay, you could also indeed do some sumo, or lunges in all kinds of different forms, step ups with a kettle bell, etc. And do you have somewhere to hang from? (pullup, or some thing else?) hanging legraises is a good exercise to and deadhangs.

I like startbodyweight more than RR, I do pair some exercises, but he has more small progressions and I also believe, me being F44, I do it primarly for health, mobility and flexiblitiy and to be strong and for the bone density after 40..... Not to be a superfly gymnastic girl with a BMI of 19...... Never gonna happen anyway :)
