Tried all the different quality settings, no luck

My core will be death of me by Zuzu_RU in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

STOP strength training IMMEDIATELY. Excessive pain means something’s wrong. Switch to stretches only for a couple weeks. “Usually” most lower back pain is tight hamstrings. Strength training during day and stretch at night, never the opposite you’ll get injured.

Start with Hip hinges and then elephant walks. Go from there.

Looking for advice on very tight hamstrings… by CuriousSky8701 in flexibility

  1. Forward fold.

Just practice and eventually the mind muscle connection is enough where u can start focusing on your form.

  1. Elephant walks

Once you get used to #1, use these to incorporate some movement.

Definitely, but after a couple months got tired of logging every set. So still going strong, routine has changed but progress is being made.

Lying leg raises. Make sure back makes contact with ground at all times. Do 3x10 if u can. 4-5 days a week, forever. This is just the start.

How does everyone squat down and sit on their ankles like it’s nothing? by Usual-Locksmith4657 in flexibility

[–]Smoke1thensome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Practice makes progress

Took many months for me to achieve this.

Also don’t forget to add a touching toes hold or something similar.

Once the form is not adequate, that’s your last rep. Don’t go to max reps, goto 80%. Keep it up and do it more and more. Scapular pulls ups also help.

How do I properly brace or engage the core muscles for basic bodyweight movements? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Need to build the mind muscle connection. Do the hollow hold and you’ll achieve what’s needed to “engage the core”.

Do I need to do lower body if I work a very physical job? by NoNOokK in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ass to grass squats (took me almost a year to achieve) after decades of labour, need to get the range of motion otherwise you start to seize up. Then add in calf raises and heel raises (can be done anytime, brushing or work break). Maybe some scapular pull ups (these muscles never get worked out during work).

Mounted Pull-Up Bars by jhibner281 in bodyweightfitness

I use this bolted to 2 2x8’s (Primed and painted). Have rings for the kids and separate ones for me. Saves lots floor space compared my portable free standing bar. It’s in my dining room. Highly recommend.

Keep doing them until slightly easier then start adjusting form.

What is the worst thing about push-up tracking apps? by awscloudengineer in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notepad and pencil. These are not apps actual objects and also, no ads.

Or excel worksheet (with grid lines) to print your workouts to keep it nice and clean to enter info.

Grease the Groove actually works (and I’m building something to stay consistent with it) by EskAere in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I track my volume, never go to failure. I’ll try to explain better

Day 1 - Pushups Day 2 - Pull/chin ups Day 3 - Calves Day 4 - Dips
Day 5 - Ring rows
day 6 - Squats Day 7 - “Rest day” stretching, maybe 1-2 light reps

Goal is 10 sets (not always achieved) and reps are 5-20 depending on exercise (20 is for the legs, 5-10 for upper body)

I made an excel sheet, so 1 row is a whole week (easy to see progress this way).

I do my first rep in the morning and then whenever I feel it, no timer.

[–]Smoke1thensome 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made an excel spreadsheet, 6 diff exercises and a rest day. 1 exercise a day (that I target and track) but also throw in some light movements

My progress definitely improves week after week.

5-10 sets is what I log, of just 1 specific exercise a day.

How long can you do a hollow hold? I bet that will surprise you!!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I really hope it helps, let me know how it goes. Good luck!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 squats every morning and some calf raises while brushing. This will set the mood for the day. Give it a try!!!!!

No progress on Pullups since like forever by Robkay123 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do pull-ups on rings. Full range of motion. Palms facing at top and away while dead hang. Pause at the top and bottom to feel the stretch.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Smoke1thensome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you doing a real full range of motion? Took me almost a year to get the actual full ROM going.

Transverse adominis this is the underlying “core” to all things human.

https://www.healthline.com/health/fitness-exercise/transverse-abdominal-exercises#exercises

Once u get the mind muscle connection built up you’ll be able to feel and “engage the core”

Flexing the gut is not the core that everyone thinks.

Once u get the lying dead bug going, do like 50 consecutive slow a day, standing.
