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?
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.

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.

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:

The Bioneer on YouTube has some pretty good body weight/minimal equipment routines that I have found to be helpful.
