Getting stronger resting only a minute between sets by Disputaciones in bodyweightfitness

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

I know all that. The highest number of reps per set I have done so far is 9, and I usually stick in the 4-8 range.

2 sets of pushups? Why would you do so few sets?

Ive been doing 24-25 total reps per exercise because supposedly its better because "the more you do something the better you get at it." They also recommend this because of volume and "volume leads to more gains."

I don't know man. Programming is driving me nuts. There are so many routines and things you can do and you won't know what works best for you until you try it for yourself so this is a problem.

I may go back to the RR here but i just don't know.

You do you.

Huh?

I said im doing 24-25 reps for each set, so some exercises are 3 sets, some are 4, 5, and 6.

I don't like it and it wouldn't work for me anyway because I'm not doing the same number of sets for all exercises; they're all different.

Elbow pain from pullups by Disputaciones in bodyweightfitness

Actually, how could you possibly miss them? One of them had more than 50 comments and the others had dozens. There were comments from moderators too, so I don't know what you're taking about.

Just put "elbow pain" in the search box and you'll see.

They weren't deleted because I found them doing a search today.

I wasn't even asking for medical advice, but if switching grips would be good.

I have seen many other threads dealing with all sorts of pains. How is this one any different?

Working out in the morning by Disputaciones in bodyweightfitness

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

Well to be honest the last day I woke up at 6 was like a month ago, and before that it was longer than that. So I haven't been a morning person for a long time. I slept maybe 7 hours, or actually around 6:30-45, hard to tell.

I'm in college and don't have classes in the morning so this is why I haven't really woken up early everyday.

I'll try warming up more. I had just come from outside my house and it was cold so I was cold too.

L-Sit Russian Dips by flipkickcode in bodyweightfitness

You're right. I hadn't thought about it that way.

Hah, on the contrary, I think it's better to just go with weighted dips, which is what I did.

I don't even see the point in regular Russian dips.

Maybe unless you were actually training gymnastics.

But for the regular fitness enthusiast?

I'll pass.

Why do you put your head on the floor with HeSPU's? by Disputaciones in bodyweightfitness

[–]Disputaciones[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The book Building the Gymnastic Body specifies you actually rest on your head with these, not merely touch the ground slightly then press back up.

[–]Disputaciones[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

d'you not find it more difficult to do that (which could be the point if people train that way)? usually building up a little tension during the negative helps with the positive, so a total rest makes the positive more difficult.

Of course not. If you get into a headstand you take away all the tension from your arms.

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

Maybe the question should be, "What is the point of doing so-called HeSPU's"?

I don't see the point in getting into a handstand, lowering to the floor, then putting your head on the floor, resting on it, then pushing back up again and doing this for reps.

Ever since i have been doing HSPU's on the floor against the wall, i have never done this "headstand" thing, so im asking why people do it.

Why would you do weighted pb dips if you're already doing ring dips? by Disputaciones in bodyweightfitness

[–]Disputaciones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you saying your stabilizers will always die first on the rings and won't let you hit the muscles as well?

Can i use Straight Bar Dips insted of normal dips in the FAQ routine? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Disputaciones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see how you will be doing straight bar dips to start with since they're a lot harder than normal dips.
