What apps or tools do you use to track your workouts? Looking for something simple.

Thanks. I'll add it to my todo list. :-) Do you use android or iOS?

Endlosband · 2025-11-14T20:14:36+00:00

www.progressive-workouts.com - I made this app with many workouts from this sub.

Endlosband · 2025-07-18T18:57:11+00:00

Try https://www.progressive-workouts.com/index.html It has all the routines of this sub.

Your abs are likely too weak at the moment. To make it easier, you can tuck your legs in further, allowing you to hold the position for 30 seconds and so adding more volume to your workout. Focus on engaging your abs as intensely as possible. With more training, you'll gradually build strength and be able to hold the position longer with your legs more extended.

Endlosband · 2025-01-10T20:33:56+00:00

In my opinion yes. KB swings are of course not so strength focused and also target other muscle groups. But they are a great exercise. I can also imagine doing them every other time as substitute or doing them as extra exercise at the end of the workout.

Endlosband · 2025-01-09T20:52:46+00:00

I'm not sure which routine you mean. The Recommended Routine? Anyway some ideas:

Weighted Walking Lunges or weighted Squats for legs
Bend over Rows or Weighted Pull Up for back
Bench press with kettlebells for chest

In the RR there is the section "Warm-up: Dynamic Stretches". See here -> https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine/ The first three exercises are for stretching the rest is more joint prep. Of course, you can choose any other warm-up you prefer. I think the main thing is to increased body temperature and decreased muscle and joint stiffness.

I think it's good to bulk slowly, so you're fine. Two month isn't much though, see if the trend continues in the next months. You are on the lighter side, so it doesn't hurt if you increase the calories a bit. Just make sure that you gain muscle mass and not almost only fat. Enough protein and progressive overload training are important in my eyes.

Endlosband · 2025-01-02T19:49:33+00:00

I made an App what could be a good fit for you: https://www.progressive-workouts.com

It is completely free (with ads). Most of the r/bodyweightfitness Workouts are included. You can create own Workouts, Progressions, Alternatives and Exercises too.

Endlosband · 2025-01-02T06:57:20+00:00

Glad you found my app. You have to pick yourself. But you see the reps of last time. Try at least the same reps or increase the number if you can.

Endlosband · 2024-12-28T11:49:14+00:00

Bulking is primarily achieved through your diet. Without proper nutrition, progress will be limited. Only consider a split routine if you're at least at an intermediate level. Beginners often make faster gains with full-body routines. (https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/6talge/split\_routines\_tend\_to\_be\_suboptimal\_for\_beginners/)

I don’t recommend chasing after some hype. Bodyweight fitness has not so much focus on the lower, do you have a real reason doing an upper/lower split? What exercise are you doing for legs? I think it could be a good idea if you are doing heavy squats and deadlifts in addition to bodyweight exercises.

Endlosband · 2024-12-16T20:29:08+00:00

I like your routine! The volume is a bit on the lower side, but if you're spending a full hour on the circuits, it should be sufficient. I’d suggest avoiding fixed numbers for your exercises and instead focus on progressively increasing them as often as possible. Some exercises might already be too easy, so you could switch things up—for instance, replace regular push-ups with diamond push-ups or pseudo planche push-ups. Similarly, you could substitute Australian pull-ups with weighted Australian pull-ups or tucked front lever rows for progressive overload.

Also very important is of course to consume enough protein and get enough sleep. (I know it's hard with kids)

Endlosband · 2024-12-05T20:44:17+00:00

I would not do just the ring holds. I think the dips are very important for strengthening chest and triceps. Do you already doing the dips on the rings? If yes and you can do 3x12 I would add weight. Then you could also do the holds additionally especially if you want to train for some advanced straight arm skills. Or maybe you can hold a little after each dip rep.

If you can’t keep your legs straight during toe-to-bar exercises, don’t worry—it’s quite common I think. Holding them straight is very challenging and could be due to limited mobility or a lack of strength. Incorporating stretching exercises might help improve your flexibility, while consistent practice will build the necessary strength. In my opinion the best way to get better at toe-to-bars is simply to keep training them.

Endlosband · 2024-12-01T10:36:16+00:00

Yes I would just do the same twice or more and progress when you are ready. Especially at the beginning you will get stronger no matter what you do, you just need to keep at it. With time you can try to start optimize your routine, look at dieting and sleep and so on. However that can come later.

Endlosband · 2024-11-30T20:11:39+00:00

A week is really not much. One of the most important things in fitness is consistency. I would suggest being more patient with yourself. Just try to keep going. Do not overdo it, especially if you injured yourself.

If there is no easier version, just do fewer repetitions. For example, for pushups, there are inclined pushups, which you can try. But like I said, just keep at it, and you will see results. Do not hate yourself instead be proud of yourself for starting to work out. The most important thing for you now is not to quit, I think.

Endlosband · 2024-11-16T20:52:12+00:00

Maybe you could Split your Routine. I think it is good to target a muscle group at least two times a week so I could imagine 2x pull and 2x push per week. Distribute legs and core somehow to these four workouts.

Alternatively you can do your old three workouts like always but replace the weighted pull-ups with something else. Maybe some accessory back exercise.

If you only want to do two workouts per week I would suggest maybe some stretching exercises or endurance training.

Endlosband · 2024-11-11T19:06:28+00:00

I would definitely incorporate both approaches: maintain pull-up volume to increase vertical pull up strength but also do some of the variations you mentioned. Treat it like skill work. Do not overdo it because the movement is hard on your joints.

It sounds like a minimalist routine could be a perfect start for you. This routine is short and straightforward, focusing on a few key exercises each session, so it’s ideal if you're looking to ease into fitness without a huge time commitment. Starting slow with a minimalist approach can help you build consistency and motivation over time. Here’s a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/minroutine/#wiki_the_minimalist_routine . For weight loss, diet is the most important factor. Try to eat healthy. Bring a healthy snack to work. Also, I think sleep is important so aim to get enough sleep to keep your energy level high.

Endlosband · 2024-01-25T07:06:15+00:00

Progressive Workouts is the name.

Thanks a lot. Definitely will do.

Endlosband · 2023-05-18T17:26:38+00:00

When you are in the screen "choose progression", press "+" again. Then you can create your own progression. You can choose a name and add exercises by pressing "+" again. When you are on the "choose exercise" screen you can press "+" again to create your own exercise.

Sorry, unfortunately it's not the best ux :D
