(Part 2) Best sports & outdoors gymnastics according to redditors

You can buy anything on Amazon.

Rings are really cheap and allow for a lot of exercises.

Kettlebells are also cheap and versatile.

Besides the obvious - barbell, plates, and cage?

• Powerlift 2 lifting shoes. The .5 inch heel is simply fucking magic for those with limited ankle flexibility. If I could go back in time to when I started and give myself one recommendation, it'd be to buy a pair of lifting shoes. They're worth every penny.
  
  
• A knock-off lever belt, 'cause fighting with the normal ones is a pain in the arse. I may break down and get an Inzer, but only if this one dies for some reason.
  
  
• A pair of wooden rings that I hang from the pull-up bar of my cage. Good for ring pushups, flies, rows, and of course weighted dips.
  
  
• A dip belt for use with the above mentioned rings and pull-up bar. Honestly, it's not terribly difficult to make one of these with a piece of chain, some pipe insulation for padding, and carabiners (if I can do it, pretty much anyone can) but I'm lazy.
  
  
• Straps, really great for shrugs.
  
  
• A flat bench.
  
  
• A combination pec deck, lat pull-down, leg extension machine that I can't find the link for.
  
  
• A white board and sharpies for my lifts on a given day.
  
  I also have an assortment of wrist and ankle weights, a 40lb weight vest, and an ab wheel.

My situation is almost identical to the OP's.

Yellow belt, six months in, and just beginning to get the idea of knowing various waza.

I have implemented the following to help me practice at home:

1. I bought two of the mats in link below, which are really good for practicing on, doing ukemi, shadow uchikomi, and so on. The mats are tough and dense (they do not give much), but they cushion you from the hard floor. They also fold up in a couple of seconds, and are really light. Also, they did not break the bank, being CDN $140 (depending on the colour you get)
   
   https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B072BN45BW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
   
   
2. In order to try to counter developing bad habits when doing uchikomi at home, I suggest the following:
   
   

• Tell your Sensei that you want to video (on your phone) him/her doing various waza
  
• Then have someone/your Sensei film you while you execute the same waza under their watchful eyes, using correct technique
  
• Each time you practice at home, video yourself at various points
  
• Compare the video of you practicing with the video of you and your Sensei from the dojo
  
• Take some of the 'home' video in to the dojo (or post it) so that your Sensei can critique it
  
  3, I am also in the process of making a Grappling Dummy for home use
  
  4, In addition to looking at Judo waza in different books and videos (and asking my Sensei about the variations that I see in these books for various waza), I used to keep a kind of Judo Diary.
  
  During each practice, I would make a mental list of what I needed to remember, and would type it out when I got home.
  
  As an alternative to typing, I sometimes record myself speaking my notes onto the computer; or, if there was a lot to remember from that particular practice, I might dictate into my 'phone on the way home.
  
  If there was a tonne of useful stuff from one class, as well as potentially dictating on the way home, I might video someone doing and explaining the technique in the class.
  
  Or, I might choose to just focus on remembering one technique well, rather than trying to remember several badly.
  
  As I have become more familiar with learning what I need to learn (i.e., learning that I need to be aware of Tai Sabake, Tsukuri, Kuzushi, Kake and so on for each waza), I find myself remembering things better, although not perfectly.
  
  I think that recording some form of structured, correct and accurate record of the various waza (such as video, keeping a diary and so on) is essential at first.
  
  The real difficulty for me is actually putting what I have learned into practice!
  
  Good luck with this.

Wooden gymnastic rings for dips, pullups, and other skill based work. Plus you can take them with you when you travel!

A2S2 W11D3. Deadlifts were good. 365lb for 10, despite feeling like I got hit by a truck. I think I need to start driving my hips through earlier. Close grip bench press also picked up some bonus reps, but that one felt heavy. Assistance and cardio were unremarkable.

Tried out Sportsmediq Liquid Chalk instead of my usual stripper grip Dry Hands. It feels a little grippier when pulling double overhand, but once I started pulling hook grip, it didn't matter. Dry Hands is still the stealthier option if that's your main concern (it dries clear, as opposed to liquid chalk which... looks like chalk), but chalk might be the better option for maximum grip. Maybe if I have more time, I'll just put chalk on one hand and Dry Hands on the other and pull double overhand until something fails.

A Chalk Sock

I recognize it's not a 1-to-1 situation, but I bought a set of these and I'm really impressed. I numbered the individual pockets with a paint pen and I'm able to switch between different lengths very easily!

Perhaps you could use a similar system and use paint to mark different heights on your straps? You'd at least be able to have them level without having to think, step back, and re-adjust.

I bought those 2 weeks ago, with an additional 20% discount... they're very comfortable.

These are Amazon's black friday deal $18 with the coupon.

Just got 2 of theses for myself for a BJJ gift. BalanceFrom GoGym All-Purpose 4'x10'x2 Extra Thick High Density Anti-Tear Gymnastics Gym Folding Exercise Aerobics Mats (Black) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B072BN45BW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_orB4DbP8P9STV

Have had these for a month now and am very happy with them.

You only need chalk for false grip, i'd start training false grip hangs after you can do a couple pull-ups so muscle-ups are easier to learn. I bought this chalk but honestly any will do.

What can you do with coke points? I will tell you! Your local school may be signed up to get points donated to them! (Idk how they get signed up, I am sure there is info on the coke reward site). They get so many cents per points.

That all being said, how do we enter? My local elementary school uses their checks to buy extra supplies like new parachutes for the gym. [Remember the parachutes?](

I bought these (30 bucks is cheap)https://www.amazon.ca/Reehut-Gymnastic-Adjustable-Straps-Buckles/dp/B01KHPSXJM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=gymnastic+rings&qid=1566449277&s=gateway&sprefix=gymnastic+r&sr=8-3 and I have had zero issues with them, though I got my brother a set of $45 dollar wooden ones and they are much nicer. I wouldnt worry about the rings breaking, there isnt really much that can break with them.

Pull up mate is £100 new from the manufacturer on ebay

Rings £20 from Amazon

This is in the US store:

Can't attest to their quality. Just search Jiu Jitsu Mats on the amazon store, should see quite a few options.

mini parallettes are another alternative for doing exercises on your fists.

I've not actually tried the brand in the link, it's just an image as an example.

I can recommend these, because they got length indicators on the straps and include a door anchor for rows etc. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01LX08N45/ they are available in flash sales from time to time for 33,99 EUR.
Sadly I believe they are only available in Germany, but I would look for a pair with indicators at least.

Hi there!

I've removed this post under Rule 5: No advertising

We appreciate your good intentions, but this is not the proper outlet as of now. You are welcome to re-post this in the Daily Discussion Thread. Here is a copy of your post for your reference:

>I've had these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ETR4FEQ) for a year now and they're amazing. Unfortunately, I'm moving and just realized I can't take them with. If you're in SF, come take them off my hands. I'm asking $25 (https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/spo/6288622383.html) but would do it for free if you're from this community.

Cheers x

I got these a year ago and despite hanging them outside that entire time they show no signs of degradation. Yes they are plastic, but the grip is still pretty good and they are relatively inexpensive.

Not sure if there was multiple groups with a parachute but I did have a parachute that we used for hot boxing multiple times. We also busted it out a few times when it was raining at sets and all just danced under it.

Here is the one I have. It's only 12 feet in diameter. Found the smaller size is easier to carry around than some of the larger ones.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01JOW0VLW/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We had our group of 8 of us about with multiple other people joining us under it.

$10 a bottle. This is the one I use. A bottle lasts me about 3-4 months.

Guy here:

Calluses are caused by moisture/friction/abrasion.

What you need is weightlifting chalk.

Consider purchasing this little guy: http://www.amazon.com/Refillable-Gymnastics-Climbing-Weight-Lifting/dp/B003GPVB86/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1319758971&sr=1-6

Gymnastic grips

Has anyone tried quick adjust straps?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0744YYBWS/ref=cm_cr_srp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

Does anyone know where I could get these on their own (without rings)?

they sell these on amazon

Good question! I set up mine on my pull-up bar handles and it works out to be just about the width of my shoulders.

I use this pull-up bar: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0798J8ZP1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and these rings: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KHPSXJM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The rings are threaded through a long piece of nylon fabric that allows you to adjust the height. The instructions in the packaging are easy to follow. I have no doubt you'll be able to figure it out!

I hope you know what's captains of crush.

I ordered a captains of crush (Trainer and #1) + Expand-your-hand bands. I also train my grip (learned a lot of stuff from r/griptraining) and it's so good.

I thought rings costed $100 on average, I didn't know they're cheap... But I don't have a place or expertise to install them.

Few stuff ship to the country I am in from amazon but those rings can be shipped to my place. Can I install them in my room's ceiling?

edit: welp my parents don't want to buy rings, they say they're not buying any elevated equipment that doesn't involve ground, they say it's gonna snap one day. nothing's gonna convince them and they got a point lol

What do know about grip training?

Also, are those rows I do in my video sufficient or BS?

It does leave marks on the trim and small dents.. i'm thinking about getting this standalone bar that folds when not in use... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HP2HVLW

I bought these for $30. Good quality

I tend to agree, and if I'm doing more than like 10 pull ups I always wear hand protection to avoid ripping, and it's just more comfortable. I've tried a few, and now I've ended up with these Bear Komplex grips. I love 'em!

S&S Worldwide Parachute with 8 Handles Game, 12' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013XS3PDY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9xAzybC63HGDZ



Guys, these can be bought for less than $20

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S2AAWD0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_cS.IwbZ5TBJQ0


Pretty cheap. Not too hard to install. I just hang them from my pull up bar.

Hey all!! Bookmarked the BWF video that hit front page of videos some time ago.

Finally got into gear and on my second day of the RR. I'm loving it! I already have a pull up bar, yoga mat and resistance bands.

I'm in decent enough shape to start at a harder difficulty, but I'm going level 1 on everything just to loosen my muscles and complete the whole regime. My back and wrists feel it!!

Anyone have input on using a doorway pull up bar with straps to do rows? Seems safe to me. I have a Golds Gym resistance bands kit kinda like this and the "rings" are a foam tube with plastic clip. Unsure if this will take 200lbs for elevated rows. Thinking of getting gymnastics rings for rows.

I've been spamming the Moronic Monday thread today. Too many stupid questions :)

As i've a lot of spare money, i decided to some of it on BWF and yoga, and save the rest.
















Is there any equipment that you think i should add / swap?

Here's the equipment:

1. Iron Gym Doorway Pullup Bar
   
   
   
2. Wooden Rings
   
   
   
   
3. Dip bar
   
   
   
   
4. Looking for a dip belt for a person who is 45KG. Around 67 cm around stomach.
   
   
   
   
5. Jumping Rope - To wake me up, and incorporate with the RR
   
   
   
   If there's anyone that can help me with finding out if these items from amazon.de has expensive shipping, tax, etc to Norway i'd appreciate that. The items from amazon.de is currently the dip station and the wooden rings

My gift to you

Thanks so much for the feedback! I was afraid that the dimensions might be weird because there wasn't anything to scale the parallettes with. /u/iggy_koopa recommended these, how do you think they compare against the ones you recommended?

They're a little pricey, but these ones are what I got. They've been working really well.

For my back, I really just do lots of deep, powerful bends. I do dropbacks, Viparita Chakrasana work, etc. That combined with pull-ups and I really don't feel like I need much more than that. YMMV

These parallettes are 9" off the ground, 24" long: http://www.amazon.com/The-Beam-Store-24-Inch-Parallettes/dp/B001TP3B2Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=301W7IOI8560K&coliid=I195JPCIB6ULO5

That was a total smart ass answer. Pardon me, I couldn't resist.

I bought one on Amazon a couple years ago. We bring it to parties. The kids love it (and adults do too).
