Over the past one week I've become a big believer. I was 95 Kgs but through regimented diet and running, I'm currently 80Kgs. My goal is now to get upper body strength and develop muscle and endurance. I couldn't manage 5 push ups a week back but can do 10 now at a stretch. My next goal is to increase it to 20 and to also do pull ups. Many thanks guys.
Great tutorial, as usual. I find that static exercises can also be used during certain injuries to maintain strength (for example, doing elbow planks or victorian hold on the floor if you have a wrist injury).
i m so glad i subscribed to this channel. the best thing i like abt ur videos r, 1. u define the movement and also show examples... to make us understand tht movement. 2. u also show whts the best way/method to train based on individual goal. so thanks 4tht.
I really shoudn't watch your videos right before work. I need to go, but I want to train! Darn. I like your videos a lot, they are easy to understand even for a newbie like me. Thank you!
Make a workout routine(Video) for muscle strength and endurance for whole body ,Only using bodyweight,bars ,parallel bars from beginner to advanced! Awesome video! Keep growing!👍👍👍
Isometrics - a system of physical exercises in which muscles are caused to act against each other provided that an equivalent force is exerrted by both parties. From the greek language - equal measures. In the case of pushing a wall, it could not be called isometrics because part of the energy used to push the wall in question would be ABSORVED by the surface and than dispersed . Therefore, part of the energy is lost and so the 'reaction' is not equal anymore (ISO). People apply Newton's third law( For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction) and think that pushing a wall is an isometric exercise but they are wrong because they forgot to calculate the absortion and dispersion of energy by the same wall! Concentrated contraction of one part or of a group of varied muscles of the body is also not isometrics . People get it wrong when they see a bodybuilder doing his sequence on stage or in front of a mirror while contracting his or her muscles and again, call it isometrics
Some kind of streches too. If you have any injuries, try to put ice on it, and take a rest, if this injurie was too bad, take some medicine and always rest. Salute from brazil, peace!
Seriously though, dynamic stretching (Not balistic stretching) and Warming up is how you avoid injuries. Dealing with them is exactly as Americo Jose said. The truth of the matter is people want to train, they skip the warmups they cut their rests short, speed their progressions up and they just focus on getting the work done. That's how you get hurt. Be patient and do things the "correct" way and you will enjoy a painless body and see quicker and more sustainable results over a longer period of time. What i mean is the gains you can make in a month are nothing like the gains you can make in a year. And if you don't get injured you can continue to progress and sustain your progress without having to take time off.
I have heard that static stress increases tendon strength more than muscle strength and because of this, quicker acceleration of strikes, etc, as well as a greater protection from injury. I would like to hear your thought on this.
I heard that too, isometric exercises develop the strength of tendon more than weight lifting. the only shortcoming is you get your muscles quickly fatigued and out of power
youness bruce Interesting. If so, maybe the ideal program is a combination.Reaping the benefits of both. How to do that without overtraining could be tricky. Sounds like there might be an ideal balance between dynamic and static routines. I'm no trainer so I have no idea or qualifications but would love to hear from those that do.
of course, using both methodes of training is most optimum yet one can probably if not easily fall overtraining themselves if not specifying your workouts and what your goals are. as far as I am concerned i prefer not pushing limits other than that you can divide your program combining them both or just doing one this day and the other the next.
Habe vor kurzen angefangen vom Gewichtetraining auf Calisthenics umzustelen. Dazu habe ich TH-cam durchforstet um Anregungen zu erhalten. Eure Beiträge/Videos fande ich besonders gut und hilfreich, daher meine Frage an euch. Habt ihr auch Tipps für Beintraining? Finde es sehr schwer ein gutes Trainingsprogramm ohne Gewichte für die Beine zu erstellen. Vielleicht könnt ihr mir ja da weiter helfen, dass würde mich total freuen.
Awesome video, thanks for going into detail on the explanations. As far as training specific isometric movements go, like planche, do you recommend starting with eccentric movements like handstand to straddle?
Hey calimove, I just want to clarify that the three types are *isometric*, isotonic (divided in *concenctric* and *eccentric*), and the least known, isokinetic, which can only occur with especial machines. ;)
Also you can train with only one type of isotonic. Only negatives are known well (pullups i.e. w/ *slow* tempo), but only positives are indirectly known as well, used by athletes (w/ *explosive* tempo). Can you guess?
El Eggs You're right! Now there're four. For explosive tempo I meant plyometrics (here eccentrics are used to receive impact [broad jumps, high jumps, box jumps]).
Hey, Sven is looking to a lot bigger and leaner. You guys do bulk and cut cycles or just eat healthy? Another question, your physique is achieved only by calisthenics?
I don't think you "have" to be in a caloric surplus to build muscle. Remember the definition of surplus is an excess of what is needed meaning that it's not necessary.
Klasse! Freu mich! Wenn ihr dann bitte auch auf Veganismus eingeht, wär ich euch echt dankbar :-) Würde gerne soweit wies geht “fettfrei“ muskeln aufbauen und nicht immer wieder zunehmen, abnehmen...
Same here. If you're so dedicated to fitness like you guys obviously are then fuelling your body with the cleanest foods possible (vegan) should be a no brainer really.
+calisthenicmovement Sven and Eleggs Just for a little request could you guys make a follow through for a upper body workout, just 1-2 rounds? I kind of specifically mean if it's skill training or a regular upper body routine! Thanks ^_^ Oh and for myself. What should the best progression be for me since I do more and more weighted PU's for MU's - I have yet to integrate to kipping, if I must! (I can do upwards of 2-3 clean MU's in start of workout first thing. Then i'm dead)
Hi, what do you think about super slow training? Time under tension is quite long but reps usually very low. What kind of adaptation will occur? I played with 90 sec push ups with 5 sec isometric at the bottom, it's extremely hard to get up at that speed with a slow and steady pace.
great video 👍👍.. nothing is better in mixing science with sport to optimize the outcome 😉. can you make video for stretching workout and the importance of stretching in general ??☺️
Dantick09 to reach your chest to the pullup bar you should chane the angle at which you pull, pulling yourself at a angle more like this 7 will help you do high pullups and eventually the muscle up.
@Dantick09 - A good method to increase the strength of some of the smaller supporting muscles that may be restricting you, is to place a foot in a stretch band wrapped through itself around the bar. This will give you the assistance to get your chest to the bar, and will develop the weak or underused muscles that will eventually allow you to do it unassisted. :)
hey Elegg . I started doing calisthenics back in March of this year. and have gotten really strong. i have lost 52lbs and went from a size 42 waist to size 36 waist. I love calisthenics to death and this is the first time I have really gotten in to working out for my health and body. but I can't seem to build muscle like you guys have in your videos. I can do pull ups and chin ups wide and narrow I can almost to single handed push ups it not perfect yet. and I can do hand stand. but I am not building the body I want. I was wondering should I include weight lifting into my work out routine. to help me bulk up. or are there some other exercises I should do. do you guys do weights and calisthenics or just calisthenics . I watched your video on the difference each one does which was some what helpful. I really hope you reply.
Should i do obliques training directly or indurectly?What are the best exercises for them? Some say it will ruin v taper and some say it fills the core area. Plz explain.
How to make pull up bar for australian pull ups at home?My plan is to build that back and all muscles needed for pull ups until summer,then i can go in sw park near me and do real pull ups.I don't think broom stick will work for me cause i am overweight it will break apart
This might sound stupid: If I (22, male) can seperately train for strength and endurance, what is muscle volume/growth (is that the same as muscle mass?) good for? I noticed that women who do one-arm pull-ups are slimmer than you, Sven and Alex, for instance. What does their lack of muscle volume (mass?) mean for them?
Isometric exercises strengthen the joints and ligaments also, right? Can I do static workouts more often than dynamic or mixed workouts? Or can isometric exercises run entirely seperately from concentric and eccentric ones?
Great content!! Are static holds good for building some muscle? I know it's not the best way, I'm just asking because the gymnasts have very big muscles by doing lots of statics thanks!
Would a good example be holding the top of a one arm push up for 5 seconds, slowly lowering to the bottom, and holding the bottom for 5 seconds before doing each set?
Yes it's more specific, or you count the reps (when every rep has the same duration). 10 reps with 3 second for each rep = 30 seconds time under tension.
What's a good ratio of static workouts to reps? and can you incorporate them both? for example, focus on statics for learning the planche say, and then finish with some excentric and decentric reps? or is it best to keep them separate????
For example let's say you want to improve pull ups. You would do max of 20 pull ups throughout the day instead of doing them in one set, like 1-5 pullups in the morning, 5 more at noon and etc. Or alternatively you can do low volume of pull ups everyday like 6 on Monday, 6 on Tuesday. Grease The Groove basically helps with adapting to new movements you haven't tried before.
Habt Ihr evt. eine lohnenswerte Empfehlung für ein Buch in Richtung Sportpsychology angelehnt an calisthenics/Bodyweight ? Fühle mich für die erste halbe Stunde beim Training immer etwas kraftlos Gewicht zu bewegen. "Explosiv" ausführen hilft ein wenig, aber möchte stärker werden.
Vishal Mody if you are not strong enough to do concentrics focus on eccentrics until you are strong enough to complete cocentric parts of the exercise. Isometric training is used by many at the end of a workout to help overload a muscle.
that fella is so bloody ripped . holyshit . Need to bring the pull up bar out
it's all about calories in and calories out. coach greg on yt will teach you all you need
Over the past one week I've become a big believer. I was 95 Kgs but through regimented diet and running, I'm currently 80Kgs.

I'd like to congratulates you guys. You're doing an amazing job with plenty useful advice. It's like I'm about to like everyone of your video.
Great tutorial, as usual. I find that static exercises can also be used during certain injuries to maintain strength (for example, doing elbow planks or victorian hold on the floor if you have a wrist injury).
this guy is a fuckin map! #shredded
ikr!
But how is he much more ripped than the other guy, however they seem equally strong?
(sorry I don't know their names)
krampusz sven kohl and el eggs
"It's called steroids!"
krampusz mostly body gene structure to hold fat and diet
Will you ever make a video based on nutrition?
Yes.
Please.
+Calisthenicmovement Nice. I look forward to it.
Yes, Sven is has great muscular definition, could you go over his nutrition and maybe some of his training styles that he does to achieve this?
I was going to ask the same question - video on nutrition would be awesome!!!! ;)
i m so glad i subscribed to this channel. the best thing i like abt ur videos r, 1. u define the movement and also show examples... to make us understand tht movement. 2. u also show whts the best way/method to train based on individual goal. so thanks 4tht.
Damn he got ripped from the last video
I really shoudn't watch your videos right before work. I need to go, but I want to train! Darn. I like your videos a lot, they are easy to understand even for a newbie like me. Thank you!
Another great video. Sven is looking bigger than ever in this one.
I really like your videos guys, please look at the description of "perfect pull up" there is not the background music ! :/
thanks a lot for all explanations, you make work outs more scientific
1:52 "It is easier to letting yourself down during a pull up"... HELLA TRUE
what combination of these is best for gaining maximum strength? Thank you guys, you guys are truly the best work out channel on youtube :))))))))))))
Static rep what a great advice!
Make a workout routine(Video) for muscle strength and endurance for whole body ,Only using bodyweight,bars ,parallel bars from beginner to advanced!
Awesome video!
Keep growing!👍👍👍
I watched and only noticed that guys' body tone!! Bravo!!!
Macht ihr auch mal ein Front lever tutorial? Eure videos sind die besten!

The legend says if you view the video 1 min after upload sven or el eggs will reply
Confirmed! :D
+Calisthenicmovement my life's complete :D
TheNikaProduction you're completely right. even in the first two hours.
+El Eggs :D love your content guys
Excellent! Sven looks so ripped here. But Alex is a real beast!
Great video guys, keep it up!
The life is movement. Focus with dynamics mouvement.
can u make a video about injuries and how to avoid injuries during calisthenics and bodyweight training ?
warm up
Some kind of streches too. If you have any injuries, try to put ice on it, and take a rest, if this injurie was too bad, take some medicine and always rest. Salute from brazil, peace!
+Américo José thanks bro for replying !
Abdul Rahman Rayyan No problem, bro! Let's go to the evolution!
Seriously though, dynamic stretching (Not balistic stretching) and Warming up is how you avoid injuries.
Dealing with them is exactly as Americo Jose said.
The truth of the matter is people want to train, they skip the warmups they cut their rests short, speed their progressions up and they just focus on getting the work done. That's how you get hurt.

Never knew you wrote your name like this! Always typed Alex in the comments. Sorry Eleggs haha
lordwout10 Nooo serious??? 😂😂😂
I discovered that he says 'eleggs' and not 'Alex' now, because of this comment. ahahah
me too!!
wow i thought 'el eggs' was some joke cus hes bald
^^
Chuck Norris haha.

great as always
Hey,
Sven is looking to a lot bigger and leaner. You guys do bulk and cut cycles or just eat healthy?
Another question, your physique is achieved only by calisthenics?
i think he also does bodybuilding
eXq 2Shae do you mean weight lifting or isolating the muscles and doing splits?
Chapstick isolating and doing splits
regardless of the type of training he does, you have to be in a calorie surplus to put on muscle mass so yes I'm sure he monitors his caloric intake.
I don't think you "have" to be in a caloric surplus to build muscle. Remember the definition of surplus is an excess of what is needed meaning that it's not necessary.
please one video "all planks" and ejercicios para el muscle up. thanks
saludos desde Argentina.
very nice video as usual
Ich wäre auch mal interessiert an eurer Ernährung, ihr seid immer so shredded! (y)
Ernährungsvideos und Pläne stehen bei uns für 2017 auf dem Plan!
Klasse! Freu mich!
Wenn ihr dann bitte auch auf Veganismus eingeht, wär ich euch echt dankbar :-)
Würde gerne soweit wies geht “fettfrei“ muskeln aufbauen und nicht immer wieder zunehmen, abnehmen...
Kann ich unterschreiben. Eure Meinung zu veganer Ernährung würde mich auch interessieren :)

Hi, what device do you use to record these fantastic videos?
nice video as always guys
Can you make a video on the fastest way to increase reps on exercises like pushups and pullups?
Hi, what do you think about super slow training? Time under tension is quite long but reps usually very low. What kind of adaptation will occur? I played with 90 sec push ups with 5 sec isometric at the bottom, it's extremely hard to get up at that speed with a slow and steady pace.
can make typewriter pushup or pullup video that would help lot of us
Do you, Sven or Alex, supplement with weight training or is that physique purely from calisthenics? Impressive either way.
make a video about the proper way to warm up
We already got a series about that topic on this channel.
have you ever specified on body weight as well the lighter you are the easier these types of movements can be executed
great video 👍👍.. nothing is better in mixing science with sport to optimize the outcome 😉. can you make video for stretching workout and the importance of stretching in general ??☺️
Ahmed Tarek already did. look for it on our channel.
There is no winter in germany?
what did you study for all this knowledge.....which course... even I want to
Can u make video on how to increase power and strength of entire body muscles......by more reps or the slowly and perfect reps exercise....??
Nice Video as eveytime.
He is starting to be grey. How old he is? Aroud 30?
People are getting bald at around 20.
plzz make a video on static workout routine
Thank you for the video, this is my favourite channel on youtube. Do you have any tips for up and coming youtube fitness channel? @calisthenicmovement
How do you bring the chest up to the pull up bar? I can't get any higher than neck to bar

Just really slow down your movements mate, that way you increase time under tension of the muscles being worked :)
You can be engaged in every day? or you need to take breaks?
Should i do obliques training directly or indurectly?What are the best exercises for them? Some say it will ruin v taper and some say it fills the core area. Plz explain.
How much should be pull up eccentric rep duration for complete beginners that would also help in concentric strength goals?

every thing builds size but lets say concentiric is more benefcial for hyper trophy
gymnast train with super high intensity with high volume for years
thanks!
How old is the guy in the video? Looks really fit for his age.
Would a good example be holding the top of a one arm push up for 5 seconds, slowly lowering to the bottom, and holding the bottom for 5 seconds before doing each set?
The hold at the top is the easiest one, you can do it but the point hardest point is the bottom.
so which types of contraction work for which types of goals
looking ripped
so basicly we need to work with time under tension?
Yes it's more specific, or you count the reps (when every rep has the same duration). 10 reps with 3 second for each rep = 30 seconds time under tension.

Sven can you please share what you did to specifically train for the front lever?
In the last 4 moths mostly GTG Training.
Greasing the Groove.
What's greasing the groove mean ?
For example let's say you want to improve pull ups. You would do max of 20 pull ups throughout the day instead of doing them in one set, like 1-5 pullups in the morning, 5 more at noon and etc. Or alternatively you can do low volume of pull ups everyday like 6 on Monday, 6 on Tuesday.

Kimmtz ihr aus Österreich
Bro If i want to train for static skills
Should i stop pull&push routine or not
Habt Ihr evt. eine lohnenswerte Empfehlung für ein Buch in Richtung Sportpsychology angelehnt an calisthenics/Bodyweight ?
Fühle mich für die erste halbe Stunde beim Training immer etwas kraftlos Gewicht zu bewegen. "Explosiv" ausführen hilft ein wenig, aber möchte stärker werden.
Alex, excuse me for the question but how old are you guys.?
can i mix my workout with dynamic and static exercises?
or should i train only with one kind of movement depending on my goal?
Can you do both at the same day?
Whats your arm size? Please respond...it seems like 41-42 cm
human flag tutorial !!
isometric is the hardest
Should you do static holds before or after strength workout
before, as statics are extremly taxing strength wise.
Which should a beginner concentrate on in order to get most effective training?
calisthenics
Vishal Mody if you are not strong enough to do concentrics focus on eccentrics until you are strong enough to complete cocentric parts of the exercise. Isometric training is used by many at the end of a workout to help overload a muscle.
Thank you
how long have you guys been training for?
alter was ist mit sven passiert xD mega übertrieben sieht er aus respekt!!!! brutal calisthenics body
Haha danke ;)
does isometric exercise increase strength? can I use this in my IC training?
What do you guys eat before and after a workout? Since 70% of the training has to do with you dieet.
How many times a week do you workout personaly
Is dynamic strength stronger or static one?
my lower back is starting to hurt after practicing the L sit. am i doing something wrong
Wo ist dieser street workout park?
Sandersdorf.
Danke
what's name of this track?
im 15. should i worry if i ca not get many muscle mass?
Sven isn't any bigger he just obviously did a diet cut. Everyone looks more "jacked" when lean but probably no stronger or bigger
Last time I was this early, I was still fat.
