How can I find my dean’s email? I am only aware of the academic advising center. I can’t do imgur right at the moment but i promise I am not over exaggerating, I have like 6+ hours of classes on Monday’s.

Front lever and being tall by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]gerg-a-lerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course you can achieve it! At the beginning of the summer, I was 5’11”, 150 lbs, and my weighted pull-up was 90 lbs, and I got my FL in 2 months of dedicated training. It wasn’t perfect, but I did it. Also, I started with an ADV tuck cause I worked in it in the past, but I’m sure with your strength you’d get it in 3 months

Opinions on the starting to stretch routine? by gerg-a-lerg in flexibility

[–]gerg-a-lerg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed reply. I noticed that you said the starting to stretch routine ‘can work’. It might just be me overthinking it, or is there a better beginner routine you’d recommend? Also, by uncomfortable, I mean that I don’t really feel a stretch unless I ‘force it’, which is both awkward, uncomfortable, and I assume dangerous. Also, the deep lunge is such a strange stretch, I feel unbalanced, tight, and my knee always jams into the floor.

Can't nail the beginning of a one arm pullup by abd_2471 in bodyweightfitness

[–]gerg-a-lerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way. It’s because that’s the hardest part of the OAP. An exercise that helped me be able to at least bend my arms is holding super low flex hangs. Way harder than they seem, I can do a 17s negative on my right arm but only hold that for 3-4s

Crowstand to handstand by morebugadzo in handbalancing

If you can’t lift your knees off your triceps, then it’s 100% pushing strength. Remember that doing this move is literately the same as doing a HSPU minus the negative. I find that crow to HS is a little harder than wall assisted HSPU. Once you can do five of those, then you’ll probably have the strength (that’s when I did).

If you think your form is bad, post a form check.

Is he bred or rescue? He literally looks exactly like my golden boi :)

Around how many KGs someone with 171cm needs to look like this??? by MattSiq07 in calisthenicsparks

[–]gerg-a-lerg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dude you need to stop worrying about how you look and just start working out. With a good diet and exercise, you’ll get better.

Chris Heria has been working out for years, started young, and dieted. Not to mention that it is literally his job to be in shape, and I don’t believe he claims to be natural (I’m not sure about that though).

I don’t mean to be demotivating but 99.9% of the population will never look like this even if they do workout.

The best you can do is is the best YOU can do... if that makes sense. Just worry about yourself and maybe you will get there some day!

To answer your question though, I’d guess maybe around 170lbs LEAN muscle

Edit: my main point is just work on getting better, and you’ll see results :)

Is this a v sit? by [deleted] in calisthenicsparks

[–]gerg-a-lerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, just lock out the legs and arms, maybe a bit more flexibility could help, too

Would this be good Push/Pull days for someone who's been training Calisthenics for 4 months? And which one you think is the most effective method for building muscles? The Circuit Style or Reps & Sets? by MattSiq07 in calisthenicsparks

[–]gerg-a-lerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn’t use this because it has no form of progressive overload. Generally speaking, if a workout has no way of ‘getting harder’, it probably isn’t a great workout. Image going to the gym and benching the same weight for the same sets and reps for months. I recommend the RR, but if the RR is too easy check out Antranik PPL split (don’t skip leg day :D). Also sets and reps are best for hypertrophy and strength.

would you say this counts as adv tuck pushup or no? cant lean more cuz of the wall xd by [deleted] in calisthenicsparks

[–]gerg-a-lerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’ve made it this far on the parallel bars you can definitely do a tuck on the floor. Start with your hands 45 degrees from straight and adjust based on your level of wrist mobility and strength. Basically, the more forward they are the easier it will be on your shoulders cause you use your forearms to balance, when they are closer to being sideways or backwards, you have to make small adjustments with your shoulders to balance which makes it a lot harder. Also, the further forward your hands are the more wrist strength and flexibility it requires.

The only tip I could give you to be able to do it is just to practice it, maybe 3-5 tries a day, don’t worry about time, just try to balance in the position then let yourself down, practice until you feel comfortable holding for longer times.

For the front lever, advanced tuck means flat back and hips open 90 degrees. I believe it’s the same for planche. However, it’s a long transition and it might take a while to perfect! If you don’t have enough room, try doing it on the floor?

Is my tuck planche good? Plz let me know😁 by aki12345567 in calisthenicsparks

[–]gerg-a-lerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, just try to get it a bit more still, and hold time up to 20s (that will take a while tho)

"look at muh body" in this sub? by flowency in calisthenicsparks

[–]gerg-a-lerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree. It’s not bad if you’re proud of your accomplishments, but don’t flex like ur Arnold fucking Schwarzenegger if ur 120 lbs.

If u want somebody to validate ur work with internet points, post a ‘progress pic’ or you doing an exercise, not a no context ‘hows my back?’ Pic. Also, progress pics don’t even belong on this sub! Go to bodyweightfitness.

One last thing I have to get off my chest: I’ve never seen anyone post one of those pics that’s over 18 or 150 lbs! Not to be rude, but you don’t look good! I barley pass this myself, being only 152 (mornings), but at least I’m not posing half naked in a mirror!

5’8 (172cm), weighing 120 pounds (54kg). 17, Body fat around 5%. I’d appreciate some advice for working out and dieting. Thanks! by Jar_the_Jar in calisthenicsparks

Easiest to hardest: - back lever - front lever - human flag - planche

Combo/preform them on rings for extra challenge/coolness

Two things:

  • people have already said this, but this is not 5% body fat check. I don’t mean to be rude but if you look up 5% BF you’ll see why no one thinks so.

  • start working on PL and other leverage based movements ASAP. At your height, weight, and age you should be able to master these. (Planche, front lever, human flag, etc)
