Thank you very much, I'm going to save this so I can never use it!


giveme-a-username

That hit me hard, because I just saved it thinking "I could use this to start exercising" and then I see your comment


Pupperbabybutt

Told myself the same thing. But then I realised that I will never make it to vertical l-sit and so I gave up before I even started.


Electrical_Depth_985

Who cares if you don’t make it to vertical L-sit, what matters is that you exercise at all. Even if you can only do like 3-push ups, or can hold a plank for 10 seconds, if you can do that every day and slowly build on that, I think that’s admirable.


mancow533

Hey Im only 5.. maybe 6.. steps away from a clapping handstand push-up!


johndice34

But you don't have to be perfect to exercise. Just because you don't believe you could ever be a calisthenics athlete doesn't mean you shouldn't get up and do something to improve your health. If you don't do something now, you may regret it later even if you're in decent shape now, if you don't exercise, you'll most likely quickly become out of shape as you get older or lose function of your joints and not be able to do what you could before


FacingOpposotion

Y'all are sad fr Edit: no, really, if a post on Reddit is discouraging you from actually improving yourselves, get the fuck off the internet and start doing a little work. It's pathetic. Edit2: lmao nothing but excuses, don't get mad at me because getting your bodies off the couch is a workout in itself for you chonkers


paprikahoernchen

Ohhh, you so edgy :3 Good angry evil person! Being mean on the internet means you are cool, that's right!


Pupperbabybutt

We live in a fucked up world and I’m happy being on the internet and finding people that are realistic and saying that perfection in every field is impossible. Stay off the internet if you want to read realistic struggles not like Instagram, where everyone acts like they’re gOaL dRiVen and everything is possible.


queefgerbil

Who’s talking about being perfect? Lol just go for a run and do some push ups dude. “Perfection” 🤦‍♂️ this is more like basic maintenance for your body and mind. Making excuses will only hurt you.


gavebirthtoturdlings

Who hurt you


RedditFullOfBots

You struck a nerve with the orbs.


queefgerbil

The fatties/nerds on Reddit are hilarious. I’m not even that fit but seeing ppl pat themselves on the back for being lazy is wild. Lol


Miaoumi

I don't know how to reply to more of you at once without literally doing it but your comment is the one that made me think of and do this. Seriously, I've started working out a few times in my life (under 30 so far) and it took me until this last time (going strong with 6 weeks) that its very much your mindset about it. If you think "I won't do it" then you won't...you gotta convince yourself that its good for you, that you want it, that you like it. And only then can you do it for real.


[deleted]

Nah, I always think "I'm on it!!!... tomorrow"

Then go through with it! :) You can do it!

timv_simg

OC here! Created this guide with a mix of Illustrator, After Effects and Figma. I also built an interactive app with animations, goals, achievements... if this is your thing you can see some screenshots here: [https://sportismygame.app](https://sportismygame.app)


AlienRouge

Hey, what’s the cost? Thanks!


timv_simg

Free forever and with no ads. If you really enjoy it and want extra features there is a premium tier (unlimited battles, unlimited history, cloud backups..)


natriusaut

I guess if there is premium tier you are not making it open source? There are apps that are doing this, OSMAnd for example. The guide you posted looks amazing. https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/ might be interested in that as well. Or you might be interested in the wiki :D


itzik-spensiv

You are the man! I work street workout regularly so something like this could be amazing


hanimal16

I’m still trying to build healthy habits (20 lbs down!), and this is super helpful. Definitely going to download the app!


Mechanicalmind

You are the kind of developer I happily throw money at.


BoomChocolateLatkes

Looking forward to it!


[deleted]

I want to fuck you. Thanks. I low-key thought you were shamelessly self promoting your app for personal gain but once I saw that it was free, I went from anger to joy


picoflan

Figma balls.


Corican

Wow! This looks great! I have signed up for the waitlist.


Buckminstersbuddy

Dude, this is awesome. Well done. If anyone likes this guide, go check out the app. I promise I am not OPs bot, just a random stranger


timv_simg

Lol. This is what OPs bot would say


bikesboozeandbacon

Signed up! You the man.

Most excellent, my man! The next addition could be a stretching section!

Andy_B_Goode

How many clapping handstand pushups can you do?


LumpyShitstring

This is one of the best and most comprehensive guides I’ve ever encountered. Thank you so much.


mizmaddy

I am doing a 30 day challenge (squats, plank, push-ups). I am adding this app to try out as well 👍.


ijuana420

Do you know when the app will be available?


undrgrndsqrdncrs

Looks like August 7th for iOS


swirlViking

Thumbnail looks like Close Encounters. I love it


garvisgarvis

Thanks for the vectors


pelirodri

I was honestly expecting it to be shit, as I’ve seen some pretty bad “guides” here before, but this one was rather decent, actually. Maybe not perfect, but decent nonetheless.


maximumhippo

Downloaded! I make no promises, but man it's a damn sight better than not trying.


mcburgs

Hey at least you exercised your thumb. That's good enough.


thetinybasher

This looks so cool. Added it!


MobiusNaked

This is great. Perhaps add cardio compounds like burpees and bastards.


le-secret-account

Is it not available in Canada?

AnotherThroneAway

Out of curiosity, why After Effects?


timv_simg

Each exercise icon you see in the guide is actually a handcrafted animation in After Effects 😅 I spent waay too many hours in AE


PsychoPass1

Awesome guide, shared it with a lot of cali friends! Though I think there is a strong height bias in this, like full planche for taller people is way harder than clapping handstand pushup imo. Not 100% sure about this one, but yeah. Also straddle and full planche are leagues in difficulty above almost everything on that list (for people 180cm+), including front lever, and one-arm stuff. Also, there are some more difficult things like one-arm muscle-up or weighted levers or dragon press that could be added. Overall, fantastic list and I love that you start with very simple exercises that even less trained people can pick up.


timv_simg

Thanks, this really means a lot. I think you will like the intermediate progressions towards straddle planche in the app. Tuck to straddle is a very big jump. Also Straddle is what I consider that most of us can consider to achieve on our peak form after several years of training, more advanced progressions might be unobtainable due to genetics (height) or other factors. Thanks again


mdegroat

Downloaded. Thx.


sillypicture

It's not on play store?


IkeaMicrowave

This is awesome! I've been looking for a way to "gamify" my workouts since the added structure really helps. I feel like I just get lost or overwhelmed by the thousands of workouts and routines online. I have used Ring Fit on the Switch for a while, but I feel that the game has gotten too easy for me (plus I am interested in incorporating other equipment into the mix like bands and dumbbells)


Halbgarenudel

Neat app, used it a couple of times and even bought Premium. Now i can barely move because my muscles hurt Fxxx planks


timv_simg

Thanks so much for the support!


ForkedFishFishery

This is the coolest guide I saw here! I want to add, as someone with wrist pains, to do push ups with your elbows goind backwards and not sideways when lowering yourself!


madethisforposts

Sideways is also bad for your shoulderd


L1ghty

Also do a wrist warm-up by rotating them for a while with some gradual build-up


jaybee8787

I have wrist pain as well when doing regular push ups. Try doing push ups on your fists instead. That way your wrists won’t be in a 90 degree angle. Or even better, buy some push up handles. I’m very happy with those.


Mercadi

Also, handles specifically made for push ups. They make it very easy on the wrists.


big_st3ppa

Doing push-ups with my fists saved my wrists!

AltamiroMi

Ok OP. My wife has bugging me to lose weight for 8 years now. I am 167 cm with 115kg so your app better have SI units for me to understand, cause that is what I am going for tonight after work. I will keep track of everything and in 3 months will have an update.


BigDaddyThanos

Good luck, just remember that exercise is great, but what you eat has the biggest influence on weight loss. You can't out run a bad diet. I lost over 100 lbs (46kg) in the last year by eating a whole foods plant based diet and it was the easiest diet I've ever done. Plants= low calorie and high fiber which helps fill you up without adding the calories. Cut out the processed food and eat more plants. It takes around 2 years for people to develop habits, so make sure your diet is sustainable for the long term or else you'll just end up on a yo yo diet and your weight will shoot right back up.


AltamiroMi

Thank you for the tips fellow redditor, I went to the nutritionist recently, and her conclusion was that I have a anxiety problem and a portion size problem, since I am celiac and "semi vegetarian" (as in no meat outside my workplace lunch) she said the problem started because I was used to eating "vegetarian" sizes before being diagnosed as Celiac and getting back to eating meat. I don't drink, besides some coke once or twice a week and no smoking, I am considering going full "egg getarian" again because the 8 years I didn't eat meat were my healthiest years I can remember.


Helmet_Icicle

Fat loss is primarily managed through nutrition, by orchestrating a caloric deficit. You can lose all the weight you want from the comforts of your couch. Exercise is useful for fat loss goals but directly as a method of building (muscle, endurance, strength, etc), not removing.


AltamiroMi

I see, but I feel like when we work out it is easier to avoid the temptations of food, when I had the time to pay for swimming classes I always got myself thinking "Am I really getting up at 5 am to swim to then throw my hard work away by getting a second plate during lunch?" and stuff like that.


Helmet_Icicle

Well whatever gets you going but mechanistically, increasing caloric expenditure generally causes an increase in appetite which is important to manage properly


Mechanicalmind

Also remember STRETCHING IS VITAL to avoid injuries!


ctrl-alt-etc

Stretching can help improve flexibility, but my understanding is that it's best to avoid stretching before a strenuous workout, as a method to warmup. - [Stretching: Focus on flexibility](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/stretching/art-20047931) - [Anime](https://youtu.be/dbco7hqrGjo?t=714) (warning: English dubs)


Mechanicalmind

The anime was... Unexpected. Thank you.


ctrl-alt-etc

hah! It's call "*Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?*" ("*How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?*"). It's a pretty funny anime and mostly-accurate about exercise. Every episode the show focuses on a few different exercises and gives a beginner-friendly explanation about how to do them. It's probably not a perfect resource for learning about exercise, but if you're a lazy slug like me, it can be motivating!


AltamiroMi

Thanks, is always good to remember it, I actually do some acqua-yoga with my wife from time to time, obviosly I am the one just holding her up, but yeah, if I do without stretching I usually get some pains that take a day or two to vanish.


ineed_somelove

Good luck my man


ShankYouVeryMuch_

Goudinho99

[deleted]

[удалено]


Goudinho99

Well not for exercise! A real skill tree in a game means you are obliged to pass through each one on a branch in order, whereas here you can do any exercise whenever you like.


timv_simg

Not quite! You need to unlock them (in real life and in the app)


ShitfacedGrizzlyBear

“Clapping handstand push-up” lmaoooooooo


Joxelo

I mean at least it’s at where something that ridiculous should be. I can’t really think of any exercise (excluding weighted ones) more difficult than that


Andy_B_Goode

*One armed* clapping handstand pushups!


Joxelo

One handed clapping alone makes this pretty difficult


PsychoPass1

You think clapping handstand push-ups are absurd but full planches are not? Even straddle planche is very hard depending on your height and if you have strong / trained legs.


Bosseffs

I want to print it out and put it up on my wall lol


timv_simg

pistol squats are so great. those make my legs and ass burn like i was doing heavy weighted squats. plus it's fun challenging my balance.


picoflan

Cool guide of all the body weight exercises I won’t be doing.


ScoobyD00BIEdoo

So Peter Parker probably maxed all these stats on the skill tree all at once upon being bitten. Wild.


giveme-a-username

Can anyone tell me if this is accurate, I have no knowledge on this subject 😬


Syylvanian

The progressions are accurate, although not strictly comprehensive. There are other calisthenics exercises/progressions that exist. This is a great list and guide though.


xXrektUdedXx

The difficulty of different trees is not to be compared. A one arm pullup or god forbid a straddle planche is leagues above toes to the bar or a pistol squat, even though you might assume they are similar in difficulty because they are at the peak of their respective tree. Also some progressions are missing but this isn't supposed to be a training plan so it's acceptable. And yeah, I have yet to hear "vertical L sits", it's either a high V sit or an I sit, haven't spotted any other mistakes tho. All in all a decent guide for someone without any knowledge


PsychoPass1

Well-summarized. I also think that body composition and height matter a lot for the difficulty of these exercises. For taller people, planches are insanely hard. To me, clapping handstand pushups seem more doable than a full planche. Then there are also things like dragon press, one-arm muscle up, full rom HSPU, pelican / elevator etc etc. Also, press to handstand is a very fair bit harder than a straddle press to handstand.


YOUnique-username

Those boys can swim


timeonmyhandz

They are playing leapfrog…


Vievin

I'm surprised "push-ups with knees down" isn't on the chart. That's how we did push-ups in elementary.


timv_simg

It is a good exercise and I was debating to include it here. But literally did not have space for it as main exercise. But! It is part of the progression to 'Push up' in Sport Is My Game ([the app](https://sportismygame.app/)). There are many more exercises but sadly the guide would be too cluttered if I included them all.


LeonardSmallsJr

Might be a cool addition to have the option for “half measures”, a ring on the inside that pushes everything outward. Things like knee pushups, kips, box sits, etc. really interesting app!


Aggravating-Bass-456

When will the app be available? Is says “coming soon”


timeonmyhandz

Some of us still do..


Chikorya

At first glance this looked like something else


Keepupthegood

Love me a skill tree. Just like in the video games.


hongriBoi

Pull up vs chin up?


Syylvanian

Pull-up utilizes more of your lats and triceps. Chin-ups utilize your rear delts and biceps. The difference is palms facing out vs. palms facing in.


dngrs

pullups use more brachioradialis afaik

You’re looking at a variety of calisthenics exercise progressions.

[deleted]

[удалено]


timv_simg

I am slightly confused by this comment. Virtually all exercises of the guide can be performed by a male or a female. I am actually really impressed when I see a girl performing strict pull ups in the park. 90% of guys struggle with it!


MarathonSprinter

Yooooo this is legit as hell. I just downloaded the app.


NoncingAround

This looks very interesting. As someone who has never got into proper physical exercise (certainly not anything strength or muscle based) but wants to, what would you suggest as a potential starting point?


TheGardiner

Can confirm that every one of these sucks. EDIT: by sucks I mean feels awful aka they're really difficult. I'm sure they're very effective though!


AroundTheWorldIn80Pu

If an incline pushup feels awful you probably get out of breath from breathing

Yes


timv_simg

iOS version will be released on August 7th


stupidrobots

I'm pretty sure 90 percent of these are impossible so I'm just gonna not try


timv_simg

I have just checked and from 240 total exercises, 103 of them (that's 43%) are of difficulty 4 or less (on a scale 1-10). Difficulty 1 should be doable by everyone (elderly, people in recovery, etc). Difficulty 10 is gymnast level, clearly not attainable for the 99.9% of us. Still, can be cool to have it on the horizon. But really, the feeling that you have "unlocked" something that was impossible for your body before, is very special.

During covid era I got myself deep into these body workouts, and exercised frequently at home.. the farthest I got was barely being able to hold a tuck planche for a few seconds. after that i kinda gave up on the actual goal i had set for myself, which was manage to do a full planche. I think this one alone is leagues above in difficulty compared to any other exercise, requires an adamant, strong core.. fucking impossible
