Given Reddit's fall, what's an alternative to /r/BodyWeightFitness and its Recommended Routine? What bodyweight routine is scientifically valid, updated when needed, and aimed at strength?
There's Overcoming Gravity, but it's a static book. It has progressions, maybe a guide on how to build programs, but it's been a while since I took a look.
Dr. Mike from Renaissance Periodization has a video you may find useful, and he's legitimately a PhD sports scientist and trainer. It's not a full program but it's a good start from a reputable source.
I really wish we had an active fitness community here
I'm not sure if you intended that pun or not, but it worked out.
?
Edit: I get it now lol
https://www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine
Hybrid calisthenics has free routine with lots of tips and tricks and videos
Hey there ! I'm unfamiliard with the content of /r/BodyWeightFitness but if you are looking for guides to exercise and routines aimed at strength, I think you'll be interrsted in this : www.hybridcalisthenics.com Very simple routine with few exercises but A LOT of varitions making it accessible to anyone. Cheers !
Edit: spelling
Also that guy seems like an angel who descended from heaven
I'd check out AthleanX Zero. Jeff was a physical therapist for an MLB team, and he really knows his stuff. His programs are the only ones I've tried that specifically trains things like rotator cuffs and such.
I only did one round of Zero before my decade overdue shoulder surgery, and it was more intense than the ones using weights.
He lifts fake weights, sort of ingenious and misleading to people https://youtu.be/VDWoHOaupcc?si=hqbTef6JkVXor_HT
I don't think that using fake weights to demonstrate proper form for a video is exactly misleading.
I've been watching a number of his videos lately and it's amazing how much info I've been learning. I'm definitely going to be making some changes to my workouts.
His bodyweight only A/B is BRUTAL. Like in a get great results but you also feel like you're going to die way.
Great website to find exercises and stretches that target specific muscle, which also specifies difficulty/complexity level of the exercise:
I know this was controversial over at /r/BodyWeightFitness, but I had some good results with nick-e's BWSF program. I did eventually need to modify it and split it up into an A/B routine because doing the full program took too long for me, but what nick-e put together is a really great resource. https://nick-e.com/bwsf/
I really like Jeff Nippard's YouTube channel
Not much bodyweight stuff on it though
I haven't tried it yet but I've been recommended workout.lol It seems they have an option for bodyweight only.
The Bioneer on YouTube has some pretty good body weight/minimal equipment routines that I have found to be helpful.
This will not directly answer your question but while perusing at work I came across darebee.com , which is a fitness website run like Wikipedia. There are no ads whatsoever. There's a video library showing how to do tons of exercises. Workout programs can be filtered based on your equipment availability and ability level, and everything is available in a PDF download absolutely free.
Really cool site, give it a look.
Nice, thanks for sharing 😍
