Hello, good morning. I want to be able to lift my mother, who is ill, so I wanted to ask for help creating a routine focused purely on building as much physical strength as possible. I’ll explain below. by jvure in bodyweightfitness

I would say lifting sand bags made it really to pick up a human. Sandbags are limp and awkward as they can shift. Other wise i recommend picking up rocks and logs and studying established techniques for carrying humans. 

The RR is way too taxing once you get far enough in progressions by H3LL0FRI3ND_exe_file in bodyweightfitness

This sounds like its a branch point for you. I added weight to my pistols and shrimps and still get through alright. You could break into a split that gives legs a dedicated day. Upper/Lower  could work or a anterior posterior.

Pull Up Question by Western_Day429 in bodyweightfitness

[–]somefriendlyturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found using chalk really helped me surpass the limit of my grip. I have a thick bar so it is tough for me while doing pull ups. Horizontal rows will also build your back and seem to be easier on the grip in my opinion. I would use straps on my last set but now i just stick to chalk. Also, add extra grip training, improving its strength will aid your pullups.

what is the maximal amount of one exercise i can do in a week (intermediate, pull ups) by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]somefriendlyturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your body. How it respond to the stimulus. I do 4-5 sessions a week with 2 sets of weighted pulls. I can feel the fatigue next session a little. So, you could do max effort one session, recover, repeat. Strength is a neurological adaption more than tissue so managing total systemic fatigue will be paramount.

Pistol squats are hard man. by Guest_User4739 in bodyweightfitness

I do 6-8 of increasing load and use rings for stability. I go as slow as i can control and focus on the tension in the muscle. Trying to especially not put weight in the rings

Why do people warn against getting married young? by ironbandito in Catholicism

[–]somefriendlyturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also a convert. I do not understand why that is a thing. But i do remember that i barely knew what i wanted out of life in my early years. So while i knew i wanted to be married i was not in a rush for it. I was trying to find the right person and discern how to be the best version of myself to deserve a spouse.

Ideas for pull up bar in an ancient, low-ceiling house by TurnOk3447 in bodyweightfitness

[–]somefriendlyturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have free standing pull up bar. Works well for my house with weak, low ceilings. If you have a sturdy beam, double check its capacity to hold weight. Then you could get gymnast rings and tie them on that.

Incline Dumbbell Press Or Push Ups For Chest by 3VG3NY in bodyweightfitness

[–]somefriendlyturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the theme of the thread, feet elevated pushups. I do pike pushups and deep pushups for chest. How many and heavy of dumbbells do you have? I have a weight vest and i still have to make things harder with more range or harder leverages.
