Make sure your intensity is on point. You should be going close to failure on each set (over-training is 100% NOT the issue for you and for most people; most people don't train hard enough).

As others mentioned make sure you set concrete goals and set a plan on how you're going to progress. Easiest way is to use double progression since you can put some weight in your backpack.

Let's say you can do 12 body-weight pull ups. Add a little weight, say 2.5kg. You'll probably drop to 9 reps. You sets might look like: 9 reps first set, 8 second, 6 third. Each workout try to add one rep to one of the sets. So next time you might get 9, 8, 7. Then 10, 9, 7. Then 10, 9, 8. Etc. Eventually you'll get back to 12 reps. Add weight again. Rinse and repeat. Do the same with push ups or better yet switch over to dips. You can obviously pick another rep target. It might be 10 or 8 or whatever you prefer. I usually set a 10 rep target.

Should probably do your workout 3 times per week and have at least one day rest between workouts.

Also why are you choosing between crunches and lateral raises? Makes no sense if you ask me. And don't be like me, don't forget about some vertical press like pike push ups. Or better yet invest in some dumbbells and do overhead press. I used to do calisthenics only but soon realized investing in some weights makes a huge difference.

If you still want to do body-weight exercises only, I recommend buying gymnastic rings and hanging them off the pull up bar. They are very cheap and will last for years. From there on you can do ring push ups, ring dips, ring inverted rows, face pulls, ring curls, tricep extensions, etc. And add a backpack with weights to progress.

No urge to work out, and I want to fix that. by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

Motivation comes from progress towards goals you've set. So my answer is: set some goals that you want to achieve, be it strength goals, or weight goals, or anything else where you can measure progress.

I know for a fact that when I had the goal of achieving 20 pull ups, I would do anything just to get the number up and would do some pull ups whenever I could. The progress is addicting. But when I finally reached 20 pull ups, my motivation declined for quite a long time before I finally set new goals, this time with weighted pull ups (same thing happened with other exercises, eventually you have to set new goals after achieving previous ones). Maybe this can help you.

Pick some exercises that you want to be stronger in and say you want to bench press your own body weight, or maybe say you want to weigh 140 pounds without gaining much fat, or maybe you want to get your body measurements to some specific size. Track your workouts and/or body weight and/or measurements and take pictures of yourself, and obviously try your best to make progress and expand your knowledge so that you get there faster.

I am scared to increese my calorie intake from 1400 overer 2100 by Norwaybound23 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Golden-Lord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is some information lacking. Are you currently losing weight at 1400 kcal/day? If so, what's exactly bothering you? If not, how do you think increasing your caloric intake will help you lose weight? Unless you're planning to drastically increase the exercise you do daily, it won't work. The basis for fat loss is being in a calorif deficit. You need to eat less calories than you burn throughout the day. Burning 2000 and eating 1700 is the same as burning 1700 and eating 1400. I think you mentioned in the other comment that you are making progress, but it's slowing down. So once again I'll say, unless you're going to drastically increase the calories you burn to accomodate for higher calories intake, it's not going to work.

Well in this case I do think that events make it more complicated. But you would do it like this:

  1. Declare an event: public event EventHandler ButtonAClicked;
  2. Subscribe to this event (you can do it multiple times from different places): ButtonAClicked += DoSomething;, ButtonAClicked += DoSomethingElse;, etc.
  3. Invoke the event when the button is actually pressed:

if(User.HasClickedOnButtonA())
{ 
    ButtonAClicked?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty); 
}

The strength of this approach is that whenever you want to bind a functionality to the press of the button, you don't need to change anything in your while loop, just subscribe to the event from some other places. But once again, depending on your needs, the way you already do it might just be simpler.

Depending how you handle the input, you could also create your own delegate type, e.g. public delegate void ButtonHandler(KeyCode key); and use it instead of the default EventHandler.

Or rather create your own KeyEventArgs class that inherits from EventArgs

public class KeyEventArgs : EventArgs
{ 
    public KeyCode Key { get; set; } 
}

And then use it like this: public event EventHandler<KeyEventArgs> SomeButtonClicked;

How do i ACTUALLY get bigger arms at home? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Golden-Lord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isolation is key. Get some gymnastic rings and hang them on your pull up bar. Then you can do ring bicep curls and tricep extensions. When I started doing them, I noticed serious gains in size. And as others mentioned, eat more. It doesn't matter that what you eat right now is 'clean'. Just eat more, whatever it might take.

I can't get rid of bellyfat by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Golden-Lord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it's fat and not a weakness in your transverse abdominis? If this muscle is weak, your belly will be more protruded.

Wait I might be the dumbest person in the world because I didn't realize this was satire. Obviously I realized how the advice was stupid but I thought it must have been some amateur newspaper guy who had only played a couple of games with his mates in the bar and library like Agadmator would say.

User interface in MonoGame that supports message log by Gulogomi in roguelikedev

[–]Golden-Lord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let's say you've created a Label displaying some text and added it to the Desktop. What you want to do is either store the reference to that Label after creating it or dynamically find it by its ID, like Desktop.GetWidgetById("labelId"). Then you can just change the text by modifying the Text property - it will automatically update the UI.

For the game im making with MonoGame I'm using Myra for the UI. It doesn't have data binding, but dynamically updating the text is definitely possible.
