    For building upper body, calistenics is incredible, there is just a learning curve.
    Your constantly overlapping muscle groups, increased flexibility,athleticism and hitting abs almost every set.

      I believe calisthenics is equally incredible in building the lower body as well... the problem is most people don't really understand what *proper* calisthenics leg training entails.
      They just want to look at it from a weight training mindset and reference standard... they end up totally missing the point by doing this.

    Calisthenics can transfer well to weight lifting. I tried going to the gym for a while and I can already bench 185 lbs. I made a lot of respectable lifts! However it wouldn’t be the same for weightlifters doing calisthenic for the first time. Most gym guys I see can’t even do a proper push-up and pull-ups. Let alone handstands, planches, and front/back levers.

      If you can already do stuff like 3x10 on pull ups, dips, push ups etc, I usually just add 10-20lbs and stick with that for awhile until I get use to that, then bump it up. It's almost like approaching in like you're practicing this movement with a slight load, so eventually the body adapts, and you move through space with that extra 10-20lbs as if it was always there. Then when you do BW pull ups you'll have ALOT of explosiveness and power because you're 20lbs lighter in that moment.
      You can always take the 5x5 approach too, but I have found that most people care about the number, instead of the movement pattern. So by adding very small loads to your "BW" movements, you'll over time, get stronger. Cuz again I find that trying to hit high numbers only give me joint problems and other recovery issues.
      Also a big factor is weekly volume. If I do 4x8 with 25lbs on pull ups,(and change the variation everyday) that's 226 total reps in 7 days by only doing 4 sets a day. Then with the added 15lbs, you accumulate 45,200lbs of total workload, instead of 40,680 with just the 180lb BW.
      Seems to be working for me, and my workouts are very short, which is a perfet amount of time to elicit a growth response, but not enough where I'm busting my hole off to "make gains"

      Calisthenics movements work more muscles than regular weight lifting
      For example, the bench press works:
      A conventional bench press uses the pectoralis major, anterior deltoids, and Triceps brachii to horizontally adduct the shoulder. It also uses predominantly triceps and anconeus to extend the elbows.
      Push ups work:
      Which muscles do pushups work?
      The muscles in the upper body do most of the work when a person does pushups. These muscles are:
      chest muscle group, including the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor
      shoulder muscle group, including the deltoid major and deltoid minor
      upper and middle back muscles, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapeze muscles
      biceps, at the front of the upper arm
      triceps, at the back of the upper arm
      serratus anterior, which sits on the side of the chest beneath the upper arm
      However, pushups require many other muscles in the body to work to keep the body in a rigid plank position. These muscles may include:
      lower back muscles
      abdominal, or core muscles
      gluteus maximus and medius, which are the buttocks muscles
      leg muscles, including the hamstrings, quadriceps, calf, and shin muscles

    I've never understood this question or debate....It all depends on what you weigh.
    A 220lb person doing dips for 12 Is not the same as a 180lb doing 12.
    Therefore the 180lb guy needs a weight belt with the additional 40lbs to be doing the same workload.

    There should really be a different name for street/park calisthenics and what I call "video shit." Street calisthenics are hard full body exercises with a foundation of pull ups push ups dips squats and core work. What I call "video shit" are the girly videos where you do stuff like donkey kicks and leg raises like Chloe Ting and Beach body. You can only go so far with those videos. They almost always rely on cardio to burn a lot of fat and the muscle building is in the workout with this "it's a nice bonus" feel rather than feeling like muscle building is the corner stone of the work out. You can really build muscle working on your push ups and pull ups. I do calisthenics at the park. I'm not doing a girly work out, lol. I still need bands to take some of my weight off to work on it. I gained so much muscle last month that my weight went up while I was eating in deficit. My waist and hips went down. My calves and one of my biceps went up.

    • @davepazz580
      @davepazz580 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Traps can be trained well enough with upside-down bodyweight shrugs on parallel bars (or rings)...
      Quads can be hit *very* hard and directly with pendulum sissy squats and your bodyweight alone provides more than enough resistance (which can be magnified by your body angle)... the advantage of this exercise is that it not only hits your quads extremely well, it also takes your lower back completely out of the picture in doing so.
      But if for some reason you don't have the necessary harness to do pendulum sissy squats, then simple one-legged squat movements (with a supported hand) done very slowly (full range of motion, but never "locking out" at either the top or bottom) should be more than enough to develop your quads to a high level in the long run.
      Hamstrings can be developed with Nordic curls or with suspension strap leg curls (done while lying on the floor)... as an alternative, hyperextensions (back raises) also work the hams.
      Weights are in no way necessary for hamstring development...
      I'll give you calves, because that's such a dense muscle and can withstand so much resistance, but forearms typically get trained hard enough from just hanging on the bars during the various upper-body calisthenics pulling exercises.

    If you want to get lean and build muscle faster, your best bet is weight lifting.
    But if you don't wand to spend lots of money on equipment or in the gym + You want a relatively safer workouts for your joints then do calisthenics.
    So, although the weights guy is building TWICE as more muscle in one session, you're going to have MORE workout sessions because you're going to get less injuries + the fact that you can do your workouts anytime and anywhere even when you're broke.
    With calisthenics you won't also lose a lot of your flexibility and mobility and you'll have greater muscle endurance and body control and perhaps even better mind to muscle connection. Hence calisthenics is better for athletes, gymnasts, swimmers etc.
    Another amazing thing about progressing in calisthenics is that you'll get to do awesome tricks with your body like muscles ups or handstands! lol
    That said, the amount of muscle a calisthenics guy can build in 10 months, a weight lifting guy can build in just 4.
    A strict/pure calisthenics athlete will have to incorporate some type of weight training anyway as he gets more advanced especially for his side delts and legs.

    • @davepazz580
      @davepazz580 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree about building muscle faster with weights... but getting lean?
      That's calisthenics all the way... it's perfectly possible to lift weights, get much stronger *and* get fatter at the same time, but not with calisthenics.
      You can't even make any real progress in calisthenics *without* getting leaner at the same time... it's physically not possible.
      I also agree the amount of muscle a calisthenics guy could build in 10 months could be built in 4 by someone lifting weights... but at the same time, that just means one will typically plateau much faster with weights (newbie gains).
      About leg training... I believe when it comes specifically to quad and hamstring training, your bodyweight can be manipulated almost endlessly to forever challenge and make gains from calisthenics leg exercises.
      But glutes and calves are another matter... barring some new bodyweight training technique I haven't come across yet, external weights are far more practical and better for these two muscle groups.

      @@sharpie6888 I agree it's about diet, but diets don't exist in vacuums...
      With calisthenics, adjusting your diet to become leaner is a *requirement* for progress... you won't get far long term without doing so.
      Whereas with weight training, adjusting your calorie intake to become leaner is *not* a requirement to progression... in fact, the more body fat you carry, the *better* you may perform on many lifts.
      That's why I say bodybuilders who have to lean out for contests by eating less and less while doing a bunch of cardio on top of lifting weights to get lean is like trying to swim upstream... you can do it, but from the body's point of view it's a completely illogical process because you're essentially trying to accomplish 2 contradictory goals at once.

      Interesting... I've never heard of normal handstand push-ups "compressing" one's neck unless you're referring to the type of handstands done by crossfitters called "kipping" handstands (where you actually have to make your head touch the ground on the bottom of every rep then "bounce" back up).
      In normal handstand push-ups, there is no reason whatsoever for the head (and by consequence, your entire bodyweight on top of that) to be touching the ground... even better if you use blocks or parallettes for handstands so your head will be so above ground your head will never come near it.

      Adding weight to calisthenics certainly speeds up your muscle growth than if you don't use weights at all...
      But the downside is you are essentially removing the safeguards to the joints and tendons that bodyweight-only calisthenics has and inviting injury that much faster as well... it's *very* easy to get carried away in the beginning with using a lot of weight
      thinking "more weight = better results" when all you're really doing in the long run if wearing yourself down.
      With enough dedication, just using harder variations of the basic bodyweight exercises will get you to the same place as weighted calisthenics will over time... it will take much longer, but at least they are easier on the joints and there is no rush anyway.

      Just ask most trainees about an exercises like parallel bar dips... you're likely to find at least half of them have shoulder pain from doing them.
      That's because the exercise itself doesn't put the shoulders in the best position at the start of the movement, then forces the joints to move well outside it's natural range of motion.
      Now, if you strap weights onto yourself, this will force the joints to be strained on a higher level and pulls them out of position even more than if no weights were used at all... not a very smart thing to do.
      Same goes for pull-up exercises... the elbows are placed in very vulnerable positions which aren't so bad if you slowly build up to normal pull-up strength, but to uselessly strap loads onto yourself is again, asking for trouble pretty fast.
      And from other anecdotal sources... there are many examples of guys who spent a few years doing heavy weighted moves and later regret it because of the pain they now have in their joints.
      Bodyweight progressions are much better overall if you really care about avoiding injury (and we all should) and eventually will deliver the same results of weighted over time.
