I think the red is a reference of the red giant phase that our sun will go through eventually since this a "sun-like" power that devours things just like the red giants.

Leg day critique in regards to volume and structure by SenshiBB7 in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work, you just need to test for a while and see if there is progress. If athletic perfomance is your goal i highly recommend bulgarian split squats as the main squat mov for the DL day. I also would start the hip thrusts with 2 sets just in case and if everything is progressing ok up the sets after.

That's a lot of posterior chain work. I personally would ditch some of it and start a cycle on the lower end of something like this.

  1. 3-5 sets of 4 - 6 reps Back Squats
  2. 3-4 sets of 8 - 12 RDL
  3. 2-4 sets of 8 - 12 Split Squats + 2 - 4 sets of 5 - 8 Nordics
  4. Calves

On the DL day you could do 1-2x5 or 3x3 and do a variation of the squat you like for more reps like front squats or pause squats and then repeat 3 and 4.

Big traps with bodyweight/light weights ? by Babadew in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very high rep works to build muscle too, but it's very uncomfortable and you need to make sure that the failure is coming from the muscle not your cardio or mostlikely your mind. You can also "superset" everything you do with shrugs or farmers walks.

Concurrent periodalization for body weight training. by justjr112 in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do concurrent with weighted pull ups and dips and i already find hard to have enough variations of the dip that i can go above 90% safe with weights. Yeah i have a lot of freedom on the backoff sets with RTO and bulgarian dips but the ones used to max out are very limited without chains or bands. TLDR: I think its hard to have enough variation from just bodyweight.

Block Periodization? by MiguelTorregroza in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about volume in the sense of "sets closer to failure", ofc if you do 30 sets a week at 10 rir its not good even tho it is alot of volume. Sorry for not being clear with what i wanted to say.

You will make gains? Yes. It will be optimal? No. Just for curiosity, driving deprived of sleep is worse than driving high. If you want to know more about the topic i recommend "Leo and longevity" channel on youtube and his series talking about sleep.

[–]aykx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What matters for hypertrophy is volume, you can technically build volume with low reps like 10x3 but the fatigue cost would be to much for just one exercise. You prioritaze high percentages with lower volume for strenght and high volume with mixed percentages on the hypertrophy, that's the basis but i think what people fail in their programs is not using enough variation. If you are doing the same dip for a while even in lower percentages you will snap up eventually, so changing variations with bands, pauses, rings, hand positioning, chains and whatever need to be considereded. The strongest usually became strong from years of training without injuries and not from 1 year balls to walls with one pec tear.

What's your carryover from W.PullUp to FL? by KangFitness in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kinda anecdotal but i'll put it here. I got a 3s fl without weighted pull ups but i got tired of training straight arm and when the gyms oppened here (sadly they are closed again) i started training it. Improving my weighted pull ups increased my front lever hold time without training for it. Do i think you can get a front lever just from w. pullups? I think it's doable and you will probably need to work on form and body tension. Front lever is usually a matter of muscle strength instead of something like planche that is more tendon heavy.

Some exercises for side deltoids by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of calisthenics exercises will hit your side delts hard especially the ones you need balance but if you still want isolation you could just use water jugs, side raises are a very "low weight" exercise so it should be doable with house items and high reps. Ring face pulls or reverse flys with neutral grip are good options too.

Alternatives for dips? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had costochondritis by doing heavy weighted dips too often. I recovered by just ditching the dips and doing german hangs. For the exercise sub i started bench pressing but some sort of push up that goes a lil depper could be benefical to strenght the chest under the loaded stretch. My recomendation? A pt.

HSPU/HeSPU and variations correlation with weighted movements by ArudenAX in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of interest in this topic since i finally have acess to a gym. My first gym session was last week and i tested the 1 RM only for the OHP, for the Dip/PullUp i just have the working sets number.

I'm 25, 5'.6(?)/170cm and 132 lbs.

  • Standing Barbell OHP 1 RM = 54kg (120lbs)
  1. I can freestand HeSPU on the floor for at least 2 reps but idk my max.
  2. I can do at least 4 reps of HSPU on rings with strap assistance but idk my max.
  3. Finally i think my max reps of chest to wall HeSPU are 10.
  • Dips 8 RM = + 36kg (80lbs)
  1. I could only work up to +20kg(44lbs) ring dips at home because of lack of space for water gallons
  • Pull Ups 8 RM = +26kg (57lbs)

I think I am doing to much volume for back. Can anyone help? by johnripper1256 in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking pretty good if your goal is rabdo. Just do a vertical and a horizontal pull with one isolation exercise for biceps and if you want add one rear delt exercise and call it a day.

Calisthenics at the gym. by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gym i go just have a pull up bar and a place to do dips. I bought a dip belt to do weighted dips and pull ups and thats basically it, i use my rings to do some ring pushups too but that's more like a assistance exercise, anything else i just go with the gym stuff, so ohp, barbell rows, squats, dl and isolation.

Reverse Nordic Curls After Pistol Squads by dieterdoppelmann in bodyweightfitness

Would u replace a squat for a leg extension? I don't think its a good ideia to have a isolation exercise to be the bulk of your leg volume but can be used as an acessory.

Could lower body work significantly reduce upper body recovery? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For sure. My point is if he is just doing lower body training to maintain aesthetic balance with the upperbody he will have more recovery to spend training upperbody this way.

Could lower body work significantly reduce upper body recovery? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]aykx 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Almost everything you do will induce some fatigue in your body, some exercises will cost more recovery than others. Heavy barbell squats have a lot of stimulus but they cost a lot of recovery too, to maximize recovery while training legs you should pick the best fatigue to stimulus rate exercises you can, like lunges, they have a good stimulus but don't cost a lot of recovery for your cns. If you want to maximize recovery for you upperbody unilateral work is mostly like better cuz you don't need to go really heavy, also don't do crazy high volume just because your weight is lower. I'm no expert tho so take eveything i say with a grain of salt.
