Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

thats blatantly false im an unfit fuck who eats nothing but ramen all day and cant walk straight because of a knee impediment and i could still do advanced on all but the pushups

So your legs and core are developed from transporting your own body weight, but your upper body is weak from only lifting noodles?

I know you're kinda just making a dig, but it is skewed really strangely. If you can generally hit advanced without explicitly training except for pushups, then a person who regularly trains upperbody strength should be able to do significantly more on the other workouts unless they were only training upperbody.

You’re underestimating 40 squats and 30 burpees

30 Burpees in a minute isn't easy. Could be luck and good genetics but if you can make that, I don't feel like you're as unfit as you think you are.

I'm assuming your form is at least close to okay and of course I don't know you and different body types and all... but I workout regularly and I'm not going to make it to 30 in a minute without my form turning to shit. Not sure I could make it even with shit form honestly.

I feel the same way. I can do the advanced on all counts but I’m super out of shape as well.. Not like “round is a shape” out of shape, just generally unfit.

Being able to do them once is not that hard if you don’t weigh a lot (small people find this sort of thing a lot easier because it’s using body weight as resistance) and have previously built those muscles, but that means exactly nothing about actual overall fitness in the here and now.
