I’ve been training with rings for a few years now. There’s literally no better equipment than rings. If your creative you can even do leg exercises with them
All you can do for rings with your legs is spot yourself while doing squat variations. Other than that, I guess you can do leg curls and extensions but for the lower body, you're just better off with weight
Can't agree more. My favourite. The instability they provide feels like it makes every simple move a compound exercise. You'll turn into a beast by just doing push-ups on them instead of the ground!
Can you tell us what are the good exercises using rings for beginner? I am doing calisthenics /free weights training in my apartment. I have standalone pull-up bar and I am thinking whether I should consider rings and what for specifically.
Much Respect from SoCal, been watching you fellas for almost a decade, Thanks for the Time and Effort you two put in, and know you guys have hardcore fans out here
There’s a park nearby that I run workouts at and my car always has: Gymnastics Rings Resistance Bands Jump Rope Weight Vest Chalk The park already has pullup bars, parallel dip bars, and various heights of steps for step ups. It has been a few years and I still haven’t outgrown this setup!
I train planche using books as parallettes. I use a table for bodyweight rows or bodyweight bicep curls. And chairs for chest dips or other dips variations. Someday I would be able to buy some of these, even just the budget ones.
You can make basic rings pretty easily. A short length of pipe or PVC, run a rope through and tie into a circle. Then attach to something with more rope. You can also glue two pieces of plywood together, cut circles out of them, and round them off with sander, file, etc. But that's getting close to "easier to pay Amazon for them than to do the work", especially if you're busy or don't have good access to tools and lumber.
I've been following you for years and without a doubt my whole life has improved after that, what I like the most are the explanations on how to perform the movements correctly. Could you do a short about the progression in pull ups up to one arm like you did for push ups? Thanks for the free content.
Body armour is just as good as a weighted vest for working out but has another use. For sit-ups I use a really heavy old British mark 6A Kevlar helmet to add weight and it gives a neck workout at the same time.
Thanks guys! Last week a asked you about which equipment is better (Gornation or Pullup & Dip - I wanted to choose for my purchase) and you made this video. Great!!!
Please upload a video where you max out your squat, bench press, deadlift and military Overhead Press. I want to see how strong you guys are after years of training calisthenics. It would be really interesting
I agree it'd be interesting. I think they would benefit from a month or two of training the lifts, first. That's just so technique wouldn't be a hindrance
it's like asking a lifter to show how many muscle ups, handstand pushups and planche pushups can he do, it makes zero sense. specificity in training is a crucial factor.
@@dwat3r Why do you think they have Rogue bumper plates, Barbell and a half rack in their gym genius? They do weight training also. It's just that calisthenics is their main form of working out
I've always loved just thinking and finding something to workout on or with because it's a mind exercise before a body exercise. Also I'm to cheap to pay for a gym membership.
Best thing is that you can make some of these at home, like rings which you can make out of a rope and pvc pipes, also the pushup handles can be made from more pipes (yes i know alota pipes), and best thing is if you make them well they’ll last a while
The cool thing about paralettes is that you can make them at home by using books and leaving space between them then putting 3 pound dumbbell and you can adjust the height
Rings for the win! The first time you use them it's like you have no strength at all 😆 they are very humbling, but after a while using them it makes the bar feel easy in comparison.
I use rings and pull up bar (hanging on chains), but for front lever and muscle up I would like to use resistance bands to learn it. Just stucking in progression. So how many % of bodyweight do you recommend?
I purchased pushup bars today. I have a skinny body but I am naturally better at calisthenics than avg. Person and some of my gym go-er friends, even though i don't have any history of gym, exercises, athletics, etc. And I have been thinking to improve my physique using calisthenics. I will try my best to train everyday...Gonna keep you guys updated!!👍
For real though I find gym equipment at goodwill all the time whether it's a couple weight plates or a medicine ball always costs like 5 dollars tops. You can fine nice chairs there sturdy enough for excercise purposes aswell. If you are handy with tools(and own tools or know someone who does) building some dip bars or something is actually very easy and very cheap.
I think those door frame pull up bars are good for steel framed doors but they are dubious for door architraves that are just glued to paper faced plasterboard and brad fixed to the frame.
You are brilliant! You dear spectator and sportsmate! Don't worry about the prices! I've been to a flea market today, and there's always something like that when we look at it: 1. Skipping rope EUR 0.5 2. A ring hoop with a small rope is 1 euro 3. Dumbbells can be welded at home. Don't worry about the prices!

I already bought good used running shoes once for 8 euros. 5. Finding a coaching/training partner and lasting motivation are much harder in many cases. For example, I was surprised at how much a training partner is valued by clubs. This is also true in Hungary, Austria, Germany and Spain. They quickly accommodate new athletes even with very poor language skills.
Got a pull up bar on which i hang my rings in a door frame. That way I can go through the whole program from the comfort of my home. Also the combo is very cheap and you can do everything with it. The stability is the only challenge but once you get used to it, it doesn't matter. A few resistance band to help "finish" those 10/10 difficulty and parallettes. I intent on buying a weightvest soon.
Mine - Parallettes Gymnastics rings Dip station Pull up bar Resistance bands of varying degrees of thickness Chalk Weight belt Lifting belt (believe it or not, it actually helps a lot with a lot of pushing compounds, especially on rings)
Looking at beginning of the video and thinking to myself, man those are some sturdy chairs... I cannot do a dip on any chair due to height. But rings look like the best option.
I prefer belt over vest any day. After you sweat in the vest few times you will stop using it, it can get funky and grow mold very easily, also it is much more expensive and uncomfortable sometimes restricting breathing.
There's this calisthenics guy from Germany who has a second channel where he shows you how to build your own parallettes... you could have mentioned him... he's pretty talented... (though he had black shorts at that time...) 😉
What equip do you use for calisthenics?
Short height Parallettes, door pull ups bars and rings. Very simple
@@youwantmyname9208 so how do you train for human flag
blue shorts
Rings. Getting a pullup bar next. Everything you need as intermediate imho
I got rings, pull up bar, resistance band, (off brand) trx bands and it's really incredible how much stuff you can do
I’ve been training with rings for a few years now. There’s literally no better equipment than rings. If your creative you can even do leg exercises with them

Bro you are absolutely right rings are so versatile i train back bicep tricep chest core shoulders with rings its like a whole gym
Can't agree more. My favourite. The instability they provide feels like it makes every simple move a compound exercise. You'll turn into a beast by just doing push-ups on them instead of the ground!
@@ebelesaurus2 like weighted calisthenics?
Really help with balance for pistol squats
This guy made a whole gym with only 2 chairs. damn. Power of blue shorts!
Rings are trully tier-S equipment, completly game changing, can't recommend enough. Thanks CM

This must be the most comprehensive guide on calisthenics equipment out there. You're the true calisthenics kings of TH-cam!

You’re the master of visual demonstrations
One of the happiest moment of life is when calimove uploads a new video
'You might learn it from the hard way'... even the fall off is legendary😂😂😂😂 you guys really mobile and sturdy👍
Moved to a new city to study, and i've been looking for this info! It looks like you read my mind. Thank you!
there is no way to find a better calisthenics youtube channel, I love quality of your videos!
Much respects Phil!!
I was a heavy weight body builder in my early 20’s, I’m 52 now, took up calisthenics 3 years ago , best ever!!
What training routine did you follow in the beginning of ur calisthenics journey ?
I have a resistance band and it has helped me a lot to do at least 3,5 pull ups
Nice
Rings are for sure my favoriete tool! I also like to use ankle weights for front/back lever + compression and yoga/wooden blocks!
Great overview of different Cali equipment and happy to see your doorway pull-up bar in it 😌
There’s a park nearby that I run workouts at and my car always has:
Gymnastics Rings
Resistance Bands
Jump Rope
Weight Vest
Chalk
The park already has pullup bars, parallel dip bars, and various heights of steps for step ups. It has been a few years and I still haven’t outgrown this setup!
Seems like were sharing the same car.
I train planche using books as parallettes. I use a table for bodyweight rows or bodyweight bicep curls. And chairs for chest dips or other dips variations. Someday I would be able to buy some of these, even just the budget ones.
I recently got push-up handles and it's been positively improving my planche progressions.
You can make basic rings pretty easily. A short length of pipe or PVC, run a rope through and tie into a circle. Then attach to something with more rope.
You can also glue two pieces of plywood together, cut circles out of them, and round them off with sander, file, etc. But that's getting close to "easier to pay Amazon for them than to do the work", especially if you're busy or don't have good access to tools and lumber.
A must watch high-quality video for anyone trying to get into calisthenics!!
I give you a A++++ for visualization.

Cute cat
0:27 I was not aware that chairs could be used like that, thats great!
Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of these types of videos after I purchased my first set of gymnastics rings. Can’t wait to use them!!!
So far, how are things going with the rings?
I just love these videos. Thank you.
Gracias!! Yo uso barras para push ups, bandas de resistencia y lastres. Excelente información, sigan así. Saludos desde Chile.
Insanely high quality video, love it.
This man is a beast.. period!
Thank you for your video i like so much that you did videos every week because i wsnt to learn more calisthenics! thanks!

The very best exercise page in TH-cam bar none 💪🏿🥰
Superb production quality on this channel.
This video actually worth watching.
Merci Pépé Garcia de nous inspirer chaque jour
Awesome video! Thank you!
I've just bought some resistance bands and this video was the thing I was waiting for, thanks!
The perfect form is worthy of one of those "satisfying to watch" video....sick
I love uuuuuuu your a blessing.. Thank you for sharing
Superb video as always guys, but still waiting for the "best calisthenics arms exercises ranked" 🥵
One of the best video for beginers, thanks
Thank you brother 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🇺🇸
I have a weight vest, a nice doorway pull up bar and I just bought some rings but haven't set them up yet. Excellent video! Thanks
Liked the rings and parallax bar❤️👌
very nice, straight forward, well made video!
Thank you mr.Saitama 🙏
Goodness work 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
a chair and a table very cool!
best video ive seen-subbed
nice ideas, to work out at home, thanks :)

It's so amazing and inspiring

Wood should be much grippier than pvc though. Also - who has pvc pipe lying around? Gymnastic rings really aren't that expensive.
Ankle weights, 4’ Dowel, yoga mat, and gloves have multiple uses so should be on your list.
The cool thing about paralettes is that you can make them at home by using books and leaving space between them then putting 3 pound dumbbell and you can adjust the height

Calisthenics is the truth.
No one can deny the results and the sheer shredded-ness.

When your home design fits perfectly to your blue pants.
Rings and Resistance = All you need!
(Also Weights, but you can use Backpack/Progressivly Overload the Exercise)
This is gonna be a good video!
Thanks!!!

Never considered that you can actually train on chairs or tables. Interesting to know. Thanks for the tips.

You dear spectator and sportsmate! Don't worry about the prices!
I've been to a flea market today, and there's always something like that when we look at it:
1. Skipping rope EUR 0.5
2. A ring hoop with a small rope is 1 euro
3. Dumbbells can be welded at home.

I think all the power and knowledge is stored in the blue shorts.
I JUST ORDERED RINGS YESTERDAY
VERY EXITED !!
Got a pull up bar on which i hang my rings in a door frame. That way I can go through the whole program from the comfort of my home. Also the combo is very cheap and you can do everything with it. The stability is the only challenge but once you get used to it, it doesn't matter.
A few resistance band to help "finish" those 10/10 difficulty and parallettes. I intent on buying a weightvest soon.
I've been doing the same! Got a weightvest 2months ago and it's amazing. In combination with the rings i feel like a machine :)))
How are you progressing :)
Mine -
Parallettes
Gymnastics rings
Dip station
Pull up bar
Resistance bands of varying degrees of thickness
Chalk
Weight belt
Lifting belt (believe it or not, it actually helps a lot with a lot of pushing compounds, especially on rings)
You must be rich
@@Sheriff.Movement
Lots of used equipment out there for far less, wall mounted options are mostly cheaper too.
@@onpsxmember Not in my country
@@Sheriff.Movement That's around 300€ all in all.
Looking at beginning of the video and thinking to myself, man those are some sturdy chairs... I cannot do a dip on any chair due to height. But rings look like the best option.
I like dipt bell,
I love training exercise
Those are some high quality chairs bro
Geiler Kanal!
Tried your Body Transformation Basic. Boy, even at Basic level, it is hard. But it makes me more motivated to complete the program.
Remember you can change the progressions of the exercises every time.
Go for it bro! Our body wont transform if it doesnt endure some hardships!
@@calimove how do we use rope climbing for bigger biceps
Rings are without a doubt the best thing I have ever bought
Perfect video
Ripright sticks 💪
My favorite piece of equipment is the rings
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
For my upper body I've been using rings and for my lower body I've been using weight vest
I would recommend wrist wraps and chalk too. They really come in handy especially when your wrists and grip are the limiting factorsin your training.
Amen Bro, especially in weighted pull ups/chin ups, chalk are a must!
no. you should first prehab your wrists, strengthen them instead of overusing them with wrist wraps...
there's a saying of Alex Megos: There are no bad conditions, only weakness. That applies to chalked hands with weight as well.
@@dwat3r tell me, why do you expect your wrists to handle the same weight as your entire back, it just doesnt make sense
@@hawalatroshy709 you know nothing about calisthenics and what is the human body capable of then.
All I need is the blue shorts of power.
I prefer belt over vest any day. After you sweat in the vest few times you will stop using it, it can get funky and grow mold very easily, also it is much more expensive and uncomfortable sometimes restricting breathing.
That chairs are more stable than my whole life
