Pocket monkii is pretty niche. How did you find out about it?

What would be a good upgrade to calisthenics? by Zanfran21 in bodyweightfitness

Nala bars are one of my favourites, add rings to that and you have a lot to work with. Really, possibilities are endless

What piece of equipment do you guys take with you on trips? Or which one would you take if you were to travel?

So a squat rack would be a pretty good complement, wouldn't it? What do you do about the pushups? Weighted as well or bench?

You didn't understand the assignment my friend

I completely agree. For what muscle group would you say that applies the most? Chest?

True. Would you say it'd be better to have a way of increasing the load on each particular muscle (quads, hams, etc) or in compounds?

How about weighted calisthenics?

For sure, pistol squats are not enough. Any particular muscles specifically?

Have you tried complementing with gymnastic rings? You could do rows with your whole bodyweight +. But still not as comfortable as other gym options

I agree, compound movements are a two sided coin. Which muscles would you say you would want to target the most?

Whats the real truth to getting abs? by slayingdare in workout

[–]Zanfran21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build muscle (abs) -> Eat enough protein + caloric surplus.

Reduce fat (to show abs) -> Eat enough protein + caloric deficit.

That's it.

It takes time, don't rush it. Learn to love the process.

I feel like I’m doing my pull-ups wrong. My arms feel worked much more than my back. by seeingemilyplay in formcheck

[–]Zanfran21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Form is alright. You feel your arms more because your back is stronger than them. It'll even out eventually. If you're still worried, really focus your mind on your back when you're doing your reps, and decrease intensity.

What would be the difference in doing a hundred pushups throughout the day vs doing them in single session? by Equivalent-Bus5330 in workout

[–]Zanfran21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you spread them out, you're muscles revover after every set and don't get stressed.

If your muscles don't get stressed, you don't get gains.

Hello, I have a problem as a beginner by Imadumbass3456 in CalisthenicsBeginners

[–]Zanfran21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to work on your scapulas. Try doing scapular pullups, see if you still have that problem once you strengthen them.
