As a taller dude I'm going to hit the gym with free weights. Not bothering with the calisthenics crap. I've tried again and again and my joints fail before my muscles so it isn't effective for hypertrophy for me. Free weights are just better for most people. Pushups are much harder to go to failure on than benching or a chest fly machine
As a tall guy this is both true and wrong Calisthenics are definitely harder the taller and heavier you are, but that also makes the process that much more rewarding. I’m not gonna be a pro gymnast, but I’ve made huge gains from just being able to do pull-ups
Yes pull ups is one of the best bodyweight exercise you can and should learn. I went from not being able to hold my body on a straight bar for 10 seconds to 7 clean and sweet repetitions. My back and shoulders got in pretty good shape and I can finally see muscles there. Also strength gains are insane
keep in mind he is genetically stronger for his weight, not all tall people who train calisthenics will ever get to his level. Its like after doing pushups for a year, my first bench PR was 105 at 125lbs bodyweight. I then had a friend who only plays soccer, never lifted in his life, and he benched 140lbs first time in the gym at 140lbs bodyweight. So I benched 0.84x my bodyweight after also having good technique as I already have been in the gym longer, while my man who never trained, had shit form, benched his bodyweight. Just being realistic, if your above 6’0, the chances of you ever doing a planche is much slimmer than someone who is 5’9.

I’m 6’4 and managed a 100+ pound weighted chin up and 125 pound dip in just a couple of years of doing the movements. I love calisthenics and think it’s for everyone which is why I make TH-cam videos on it now 🙏

@@jessezitting9153 no its not that tall ppl shouldnt do calisthenics, thats fine its just that it is objectively more difficult for taller ppl to do calisthenics, same for shorter people lifting weights
@@Inter_Tidalit's harder to progressively overload and a lot of us get joint pains before we reach failure on pushups and stuff. It's literally easier to hit the GYM than to calisthenics if you have access to a gym . We're "Making excuses" to go to the gym I guess.
@@hmmm3210Firstly, If you have joints pain while performing push-ups or any other exercises, it is either you are progressing too fast for your joints to keep up with or you are doing them with poor form (this is also relevant when training with weights). Secondly, Calisthenics aren't about doing push-ups, sit-ups to faliure but it is about building strength, flexibility by overloading with harder variants of a certain exercise ( for example: If you want to be able to do one arm push-ups, I you choose push-ups variants that are easier than the one arm push-ups but harder than the normal one like diamond PU, archer PU)
Body weight exercises are always gonna be harder for heavier people. That’s just a fact. However, I think body weight exercises are better for heavier people than light people. The heavier weight you lift, the more muscle AND strength gains you’ll get. Just start with progressions. Don’t try to be a hero and start with a push-up. Start on your knees, or on stairs, or on the wall. If you start on the wall, you’re not actually at a slow start. You’re still gaining strength and muscle. If someone skinny does wall pushups, they’ll gain barely anything. If a fat does wall pushups they’ll start feeling their triceps. Fat people have 10x the potential when it comes to calisthenics.
Im 6'3 and am pretty comfortable with calisthenics. Just start out doing basics like pushups,dips,squats, sit ups and pull ups. Once you feel comfortable doing high reps of each with correct form then you can move to the more advanced movements.
Very true but being taller you get a lot of benefits as well. I went from being 6’2 225 to 6’2 210 and more athletic by only doing calisthenics for a year. And I’m never going back to weights. It’s the best of both worlds , you get cardio , strength training , core stability and flexibility by just doing calisthenics consistently
As a tall person, start with push ups pullups and strengthen core and back. You can do bridge exercises or just cat stretches, honestly just keep it consistent and progress will rack up
I’m 6’5, 210lbs and still go hard on weighted dips, pull ups, push ups and inverted rows. I’m the strongest mf I know on these lifts. But when it comes to planches and stuff like that it does get really hard
Ian barseagle and Slidis are some tall and heavyweight beasts. If you drop the excess fat, no matter how heavy and yall you are, if you regularly practise calisthenics you are going to be good at it.
If you are fat or skinny fat it is easy for you to train calisthenics and progress longer in body weight exercises bcoz you already have excess weight on yourself
I originally started going to the gym and lifting weights until abt a year in I wasn't allowed to go anymore bc I'm apparently "too young." That said, I turned to the most convenient solution possible: calisthenics. It was hard at first and I'm underweight so that meant I was REALLY weak. But now after a couple months I'm definitely better than where I was before (now I'm 5'3", still skinny, and still underweight)
@alexanderjackson8389 not AS weak as I was before, but still kinda weak. I can do up to 50 pushups but my pullup count maxes out at 12 lol I'm such a loser
@@Copilot1204 50 is exceptional, but 12? I'm a guy. I should be able to do 20 at LEAST. Not only that but I'm underweight so this should be easy for me but rather it's not bc I'm a loser lol
im 5.6-7 and 117 lbs, but i just turned 13 some months ago, i have already learned the muscle up, slow muscle up, learning front lever and final trick ill learn will be the planche
I’m under 6 foot started off calisthenics about a year ago and am 16 when I started I was 210 now I walk around at 150-153 Truth be told I’m not a very strong individual I’m still stuck trying to learn the handstand push-up and pseudo plank but I will say I am shredded and feel comfortable in my body
Very inspiring channel! 💯 I started calisthenics in November last year after doing the 100 push-ups a day for 30 days challenge. I’ve been hooked ever since and it has changed my life and I can keep this going my whole life unlike heavy weight training. Highly recommend sticking at the basic movements and just do more reps. It’s also better for your joints too. Here’s my current workout plan that I’ve tried a few but I think this is my final. Well for now 😂 Upper Pull-ups Push-ups Dips Shoulder press Hanging leg raises Lower Squats Romanian deadlift Split squat or pistol squats Calves raises Hanging leg raises I do upper and lower body splits as full body was getting harder as my reps went up. I do this like 4 times a week along with running once or twice a week. But take longer rests if my body needs it. My reps go between 50, 100 or 200. Lower reps for pull-ups than push-ups. Higher reps for legs unless I decide to use heavier weights I do 50 reps. I usually do 5 reps x10 sets for pull-ups and 10 reps x10 or x20 sets for push-ups and shoulder press and legs. This is such a great way to build muscle and lose weight and feel super energetic. Definitely worth trying this for 1 or 2 months if you are looking to get in great shape with little equipment, you can do this at a park with a resistance band and a tree or at a gym with dumbbells and pull-up bar. 🔥
Sorry dawg, I’m 6,4 196. This is a load of bs. Calisthenics has single-handedly transform my physique into the point where I consistently get accused in the gym of being on juice you get a fuller physique.
maybe i ll have a bad opinion but weightlifting is superior to calisthenics in genera, nothing can beat heavy weight training with a barbell , dumbells or machines , best results i ever had , tried calisthenics when i was lighter didn't work that much and i have bad muscle building genetics.
It’s not necessarily a bad opinion per se but it’s more of an ignorant saying , since calisthenics can definitely be equal to weightlifting but you must keep in mind just like weight lifting you gotta progressively overloaded by changing the variations of whatever movements you are doing and in your case you must’ve not trained with the same intensity required that you have done with weightlifting, and one thing that calisthenics has over weightlifting is the carryover such as doing planche work can improve your planche and give free gains to the bench press but it’s not the same in reverse with bench press only improving bench.
Bro don't lie and tell people they can't achieve something..... someone tall post a video of your beasting. Yooo WE CAN DO ANYTHING WE THINK AMD WORK TO ACHIEVE DONT EVER GIVE UP!!!! LETS GO WARRIORS!!!
Don't let him discourage you, he doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm 265 pounds 6'0 feet, my weighted dip is 4 plates shoulder to bar range of motion, 100 pounds weighted chin-up with chin over the bar and starting from a full hand, my squat is 473lbs using kilogram plates with high bar position, and ass to grass. I haven't even been training for a full two years yet either, my two years lifting journey is September 27th 2023
I’m a 5’9 200 pound women and it is my goal to be able to do calisthenics. First what I am gonna work on is losing body fat to make it a bit easier for me.
i Use both weight lifting and calisthenics I started 9 days ago and am already starting to feel a lot better mentally I’m already seeing insane physical grow as I’m pushing myself to the absolute limit every single day for the past 9 days going till I can’t move my arms legs every muscle in my chest triceps shoulders and back is unable to go anymore
I'm 6'1 and 215 pounds it took me 6 months of working out to achieve my 1st pull up. Now I can do only 6 And I'm a strong dude I do the lat pull downs with 195 - 210 pounds but I don't know how that translate to bodyweight because of the pulley
I take this as a compliment for the first time ever. I'm a short stocky hairy Italian/Spanish 42 year old man and I own it. Whatever I can do be stronger if it works it works
Most gymnast are short as hell and the tallest guys that compete at the highest level normally 5”8-5”9. There’s some young tall guys in college but not at the elite level
We may not be able to peak with crazy gymnastics performances but our longer limbs means we have to work harder for calisthenics so we'll still get good results from it.
I’m 6’3 240 pounds when I started calisthenics I could only do 2 dips and 2 pulls ups after 7 months on consistency….I can do 4 muscle ups and Sets of 20 dips and 15 pull ups
This makes me feel better , I’m your other video you were talking about 30-50 pull-ups is good. I’m 6-2 and was like sheesh man I’ve worked my ass off just to do sets with body weight
I am around 6'1 and 80kg, but I'm going to give it a go. I used to be around 100kg, and the smallest I have been is around 72kg which was after a 5 day water fast. I am currently around 80kg with water and food weight, and because I'm bulking currently. Knowing it is going to be hard is what motivates me more. It took me about 6 trainings with bands and a weight vest before I could do unassisted chin ups. I am mainly doing weight lifting at the moment but to be able to do calisthenic exercises is a goal too.
6’1” 192lbs. Lifted weights for 8 years and got burned out on it. Took 9 months off and got a power tower and other calisthenic stuff for the house and the gains have been through the roof and physique is the best it’s been in my life.
This is why shorter people are genuinely and generally stronger than taller people. I could out lift and my high schools entire football team and basketball team. I’m 5’10

NO EXCUSES.. i'm 6 ft 10 and started doing calisthenics at 160 kg, actually watching your vids back when you were in college, Austin. 5 years later, i'm now 110kg and can do ALL basic upper body compound movements on gymnastics rings with full rom, controlled eccentrics, pauses at the top of and bottom of each rep, for 10-15 reps with perfect form. i can kneesovertoesguy split squat, barbell deep squat, cossack squat and pistol squat, all ATG. yes it takes MUCH longer... it was very disheartneing seeing dudes i started with fly ahead of me but it didnt matter, i stuck to it. stuck with my diet, my mobility/flexibility and calisthenics routine, not allowing myself to get distracted by shiny new objects, and just PURELY focusing on the PURE basic compound and isolation movements and now, and i'm probably one of the strongest and most flexible men in the world when it comes to relative strength and mobility... yeah i may never be able to do all those fancy straight arm static skills, but i dont care. mastering the basics, unassisted on gymnastics rings was more than i ever hoped my obese ass could achieve.
Respect man. I’m on that same journey

@@alexk17I know you probably don’t want to hear this but it’s mainly genetics, the rest is having good nutrition and fixing your posture, it could help you significantly
@@alexk17have some patience. There is a chance that you'll still grow some more. You're still very young after all. And at the end of the day everything has pros and cons
@@alexk17I'm in my early 20's and I'm 6'4 but still growing cause of my genetics,if I had done something's while growing up I would've been taller and those things are exercising regularly, sleeping min of 7/8hours and eating a good diet of 3 meals per day containing protein majorly and carbs for energy.
I’m 6’4 and managed a 100+ pound weighted chin up and 125 pound dip in just a couple of years of doing the movements. I love calisthenics and think it’s for everyone which is why I make TH-cam videos on it now 🙏

@@franciscoribeiro3846 that’s true
as a skinny 5'5 I approve of this message and will be starting calisthenics training
I’ve noticed that too lmao it was hard to get into calisthenics as a heavier person starting out cause everybody giving me advice started off skinny.
Shorts kings 👑🤴 this is a win win
Source: bro trust me
its literally true though, being taller and heavier makes calisthenics much harder
@@bananalegend194 and? Its a learned skill. Being taller and heavier makes you genetically stronger when lifting weights. That shouldn’t be an arguing point to not start lifting, as being bigger and heavier shouldn’t stop you from practicing calisthenics.
@@jessezitting9153 no its not that tall ppl shouldnt do calisthenics, thats fine its just that it is objectively more difficult for taller ppl to do calisthenics, same for shorter people lifting weights
Im skinny , 6ft tall, no excuses.
Took me 3 months to muscle up
People in the gym are always looking for excuses so they have a reason they can't do things. 💀
@@ppcdsalvc4208Me too bro I wasn't able to do 1 pull up when i started 3 months ago but I grinded hard and performed a muscle up.
@@Inter_Tidalit's harder to progressively overload and a lot of us get joint pains before we reach failure on pushups and stuff. It's literally easier to hit the GYM than to calisthenics if you have access to a gym . We're "Making excuses" to go to the gym I guess.
@@hmmm3210Firstly, If you have joints pain while performing push-ups or any other exercises, it is either you are progressing too fast for your joints to keep up with or you are doing them with poor form (this is also relevant when training with weights). Secondly, Calisthenics aren't about doing push-ups, sit-ups to faliure but it is about building strength, flexibility by overloading with harder variants of a certain exercise ( for example: If you want to be able to do one arm push-ups, I you choose push-ups variants that are easier than the one arm push-ups but harder than the normal one like diamond PU, archer PU)
Finally something where it's better to be short
It should motivate you even more to train hard since its Way cooler and inspiring seeing a tall person doing cali
So in otherwords short guys still be losing on the basis of perception
@@jourdanfarquharson4697ok
Body weight exercises are always gonna be harder for heavier people. That’s just a fact.
However, I think body weight exercises are better for heavier people than light people. The heavier weight you lift, the more muscle AND strength gains you’ll get.
Just start with progressions. Don’t try to be a hero and start with a push-up. Start on your knees, or on stairs, or on the wall.
If you start on the wall, you’re not actually at a slow start. You’re still gaining strength and muscle. If someone skinny does wall pushups, they’ll gain barely anything. If a fat does wall pushups they’ll start feeling their triceps.
Fat people have 10x the potential when it comes to calisthenics.
even if you have harder starting conditions keep grinding and youll improve and build strength and muscle
Im 6'3 and am pretty comfortable with calisthenics. Just start out doing basics like pushups,dips,squats, sit ups and pull ups. Once you feel comfortable doing high reps of each with correct form then you can move to the more advanced movements.
Any tips to get taller I’m 17 5’9
Very true but being taller you get a lot of benefits as well. I went from being 6’2 225 to 6’2 210 and more athletic by only doing calisthenics for a year. And I’m never going back to weights.
It’s the best of both worlds , you get cardio , strength training , core stability and flexibility by just doing calisthenics consistently
How do you feel at 210?
@@dennisrobinson8008best shape of my life
As a tall person, start with push ups pullups and strengthen core and back. You can do bridge exercises or just cat stretches, honestly just keep it consistent and progress will rack up
Our brain at workout gives excuses like this man😂
I’m 6’5, 210lbs and still go hard on weighted dips, pull ups, push ups and inverted rows. I’m the strongest mf I know on these lifts. But when it comes to planches and stuff like that it does get really hard
Im 6’4 230
Calisthenics is gold for me
Trust the process
Add resistance
As a 5'1, 47 kg person, I see this as a win.
Ian barseagle and Slidis are some tall and heavyweight beasts. If you drop the excess fat, no matter how heavy and yall you are, if you regularly practise calisthenics you are going to be good at it.
But the tall people who do pursue calisthenics for a long time end up looking like absolute beasts
it doesn't mean it's impossible though!
If you are fat or skinny fat it is easy for you to train calisthenics and progress longer in body weight exercises bcoz you already have excess weight on yourself
I'm 6'2. I feel like this is my challenge point and I don't want to back down just because of height.
I've been made for calisthenics . . .

Probably light weight
Anything is good for calisthenics. But youre definitely classed as the light side. I was 100kg doing calisthenics.
that's considered tall for calistenics but not that tall to not be able get almost all the skills you just need to work more for it
If you find yourself 6 feet tall

Plot twist Hafthor has re entered the chat as a callisthenics master
I originally started going to the gym and lifting weights until abt a year in I wasn't allowed to go anymore bc I'm apparently "too young." That said, I turned to the most convenient solution possible: calisthenics. It was hard at first and I'm underweight so that meant I was REALLY weak. But now after a couple months I'm definitely better than where I was before (now I'm 5'3", still skinny, and still underweight)
Are you still really weak?
@alexanderjackson8389 not AS weak as I was before, but still kinda weak. I can do up to 50 pushups but my pullup count maxes out at 12 lol I'm such a loser
12 and 50 are both good wtf. Why do you talk about yourself like that .@@StarsAreBright
@@Copilot1204 50 is exceptional, but 12? I'm a guy. I should be able to do 20 at LEAST. Not only that but I'm underweight so this should be easy for me but rather it's not bc I'm a loser lol
@@StarsAreBright 20 pulls ups in a row is no easy feat that’s definitely like intermediate calisthenics level.
As someone who is an endomorph, Calisthenics has helped me lose alot of weight and build a strong foundation for compound movements.
im 5.6-7 and 117 lbs, but i just turned 13 some months ago, i have already learned the muscle up, slow muscle up, learning front lever and final trick ill learn will be the planche
I’m under 6 foot started off calisthenics about a year ago and am 16 when I started I was 210 now I walk around at 150-153
Truth be told I’m not a very strong individual I’m still stuck trying to learn the handstand push-up and pseudo plank but I will say I am shredded and feel comfortable in my body
Very inspiring channel! 💯 I started calisthenics in November last year after doing the 100 push-ups a day for 30 days challenge. I’ve been hooked ever since and it has changed my life and I can keep this going my whole life unlike heavy weight training. Highly recommend sticking at the basic movements and just do more reps. It’s also better for your joints too. Here’s my current workout plan that I’ve tried a few but I think this is my final. Well for now 😂
Upper
Pull-ups
Push-ups
Dips
Shoulder press
Hanging leg raises
Lower
Squats
Romanian deadlift
Split squat or pistol squats
Calves raises
Hanging leg raises
I do upper and lower body splits as full body was getting harder as my reps went up. I do this like 4 times a week along with running once or twice a week. But take longer rests if my body needs it. My reps go between 50, 100 or 200. Lower reps for pull-ups than push-ups. Higher reps for legs unless I decide to use heavier weights I do 50 reps. I usually do 5 reps x10 sets for pull-ups and 10 reps x10 or x20 sets for push-ups and shoulder press and legs. This is such a great way to build muscle and lose weight and feel super energetic. Definitely worth trying this for 1 or 2 months if you are looking to get in great shape with little equipment, you can do this at a park with a resistance band and a tree or at a gym with dumbbells and pull-up bar. 🔥
That’s why I started to do more streetlifting/weighted cali , cause height doesn’t matter so much compared to lever & planche skills
Ian.bars.eagle :- let me introduce myself.
Here comes Ian with his 6ft 200lbs frame doing clean muscle ups 😂
He started out skinny
Sorry dawg, I’m 6,4 196. This is a load of bs. Calisthenics has single-handedly transform my physique into the point where I consistently get accused in the gym of being on juice you get a fuller physique.
He didn’t say it was impossible lol he said it’s easier for smaller people to do. Simple
Obviously if your a big dude and do it then your elite because it’s literally harder to do the bigger you are
196 is light for your height.
Hes talking about skill training being harder not building muscle
Tell that to Ian berseagle- 189 cm 95 kg
Height doesn't matter. Being fat does.
maybe i ll have a bad opinion but weightlifting is superior to calisthenics in genera, nothing can beat heavy weight training with a barbell , dumbells or machines , best results i ever had , tried calisthenics when i was lighter didn't work that much and i have bad muscle building genetics.
It’s good to practice both imo
It’s not necessarily a bad opinion per se but it’s more of an ignorant saying , since calisthenics can definitely be equal to weightlifting but you must keep in mind just like weight lifting you gotta progressively overloaded by changing the variations of whatever movements you are doing and in your case you must’ve not trained with the same intensity required that you have done with weightlifting, and one thing that calisthenics has over weightlifting is the carryover such as doing planche work can improve your planche and give free gains to the bench press but it’s not the same in reverse with bench press only improving bench.
It is. Weights give faster results and progressing via resistance is easy.
Both are necessary. You don't wanna be a fatdude who can't do one pullup but you don't want birdlegs either
Have you tried doing weighted calisthenics?
One of the best calisthenics athletes is Ian berseagle who is 6ft2
Bro don't lie and tell people they can't achieve something..... someone tall post a video of your beasting. Yooo WE CAN DO ANYTHING WE THINK AMD WORK TO ACHIEVE DONT EVER GIVE UP!!!! LETS GO WARRIORS!!!
I Don't Care How Difficult calisthenics are without Equipments I'm Keep Going,
I'm 6'6 and 220. I admit pull ups are hard for me, but i aim to make myself better everyday.
Im 5'3. Time to max out on calisthenics then lol 😭😂
Dont listen to him guys. You can workout whatever way you want, be it lifting weights or calisthenics. I personally like to mix both
Always the gifted ones finding reasons not to work hard. Do the work.
Yeah, fck this man. We're all gonna make it brah, no excuses 💪
I'm ready for the challenge
Stop letting these “influencers” discourage you. Get after it.
Don't mind him. Calisthenics is for those willing to put the work in.
Don't let him discourage you, he doesn't know what he's talking about. I'm 265 pounds 6'0 feet, my weighted dip is 4 plates shoulder to bar range of motion, 100 pounds weighted chin-up with chin over the bar and starting from a full hand, my squat is 473lbs using kilogram plates with high bar position, and ass to grass. I haven't even been training for a full two years yet either, my two years lifting journey is September 27th 2023
I’m a 5’9 200 pound women and it is my goal to be able to do calisthenics. First what I am gonna work on is losing body fat to make it a bit easier for me.
Oh i was scared for a second until you mentioned sixfoot - guess i had nothing to worry about.
i Use both weight lifting and calisthenics I started 9 days ago and am already starting to feel a lot better mentally I’m already seeing insane physical grow as I’m pushing myself to the absolute limit every single day for the past 9 days going till I can’t move my arms legs every muscle in my chest triceps shoulders and back is unable to go anymore
I'm 6'1 and 215 pounds it took me 6 months of working out to achieve my 1st pull up. Now I can do only 6
And I'm a strong dude I do the lat pull downs with 195 - 210 pounds but I don't know how that translate to bodyweight because of the pulley
Keep moving G💪🏾
Ian Barseagle be like: fuck it i am gonna fo it anyway
Yes its harder, but its still possible and people should still strive to improve
Me, 5,0ft and weighing at 46kg: Now this looks like a job for me
He didn’t say it’s impossible for taller people, he’s saying it’s going to be more natural (easier) if your shorter and lighter.
I'm starting off both skinny and short lmao😂
Finally someone saying the truth. For taller people everything involving body weight is just much more tasking and difficult.
I take this as a compliment for the first time ever. I'm a short stocky hairy Italian/Spanish 42 year old man and I own it.
Whatever I can do be stronger if it works it works
OK, sir, I was hating on you for a bit . Now I'm getting a helpful teaching vibe from you 😌
Most gymnast are short as hell and the tallest guys that compete at the highest level normally 5”8-5”9. There’s some young tall guys in college but not at the elite level
We may not be able to peak with crazy gymnastics performances but our longer limbs means we have to work harder for calisthenics so we'll still get good results from it.
Bro calesthenics is for everyone
The muscle you build is proportional to your body size and weight. Tall people who do Calisthenics are actually the scariest people alive.

I am around 6'1 and 80kg, but I'm going to give it a go. I used to be around 100kg, and the smallest I have been is around 72kg which was after a 5 day water fast. I am currently around 80kg with water and food weight, and because I'm bulking currently. Knowing it is going to be hard is what motivates me more. It took me about 6 trainings with bands and a weight vest before I could do unassisted chin ups. I am mainly doing weight lifting at the moment but to be able to do calisthenic exercises is a goal too.
6’1” 192lbs. Lifted weights for 8 years and got burned out on it. Took 9 months off and got a power tower and other calisthenic stuff for the house and the gains have been through the roof and physique is the best it’s been in my life.
This is why shorter people are genuinely and generally stronger than taller people. I could out lift and my high schools entire football team and basketball team. I’m 5’10
I am 5'11 and 125lbs, i can only do 1 pull-up
