I started calisthenics without knowing it. I used to do crossfit but because the lockdown in the pandemic I was forced to find ways to train at home without equipment. And I fell in love with it! After the gyms re-opened I went back to crossfit and I realized I didn't want that any more. So instead, one year ago I bought calimove program and I have been training with it eversince, and I'm very happy with it
I am looking to buy a calimove program but not sure which one should I buy. How did you figure out? I can do pistols, 10 perfect pushups, strict toes to bar, and 1 pull-up.
@@gomtimehta1366 I went through the same doubt before buying the program. In the website they explain the minimum requirements for each level but I was still unsure if starting from level 3 or level 4. At the end I decided to start from level 3 just to reinforce the basics and have foundations, and I don't regret it. I'll suggest you to do the same unless you are already proficient at skin the cat, handstand push-ups and some variation of planche
@@gomtimehta1366 there's a questionnaire on their site that will help you pick a good level, I'd recommend starting on the lower end instead of the higher end of difficulty. I'm using the home workout program and it's been great. Takes a lot of the thinking out of the process. Just follow along. Lifelong access is a big deal too. I'm pretty pleased with my purchase
The last part of this video deserves to go viral. That's an incredibly good piece of content for reality check as well as ego check. You guys have the best content concerning calisthenics. Cheers from Brazil.
i saw hannibal for king do some crazy stuff and i never even bothered because i couldn't do a single push. it was guys like you and chris heria that told us about "progressions". That was the game changer i think.
Thanks, El Eggs for the amazing video! You and Sven are one of the worlds leading coaches! Really great performed and explained in every detail! Bravo! 😎❤🙏
Thank you for making this great video. Totally agree & very familiar. I'm 38 and have a long term mindset regarding calisthenics. I hope to achieve some nice things by the time I'm 42-45. And otherwise later... who cares, i enjoy to exercises. Much love, keep up the hood work!
Thank you for the informative and inspiring video El Eggs and Sven! Ich brauchted das und bin jetzt mehr inspiriert meine calisthenics workouts fortzusetzen.
This is one of my favorite channels on this platform and I am really thankful for every information shared that are so insightful yet so compacted and easy to absorb If I may, can I suggest a video idea? How about a video tackling how much it would take to get into Calisthenics? What I mean would be how much ideally would you monetarily spend for equipment, supplements (i.e. if your goal is hypotrophy with calisthenics), and possibly even tackling injuries' expenses?
Good evening This is a personnal opinion, i'm not related to any lab or anything lol When i started weight lifting, i was 58kg, 1m76, very thin, now i'm 2 years into mixed weight/cali, and the only supplement i implemented in my diet was for joint pain You see every workout i did passive hangs or knee push-ups, i had tremendous sharp pain in my wrists without supplement, wrist pain would last 48-72h, with in less than 12 hour i had complete recovery Chrondroitine 1500mg + Glucosamine 1200mg Collagene supplement is bullshit for Joints recovery, don't loose any money to that bs And around 4 months ago i started supplementing with creatine, and i don't know if it's a placebo but i feel like going to true failure is much easier but maybe it's just regularity and now i know what i'm doing compared to at the begining of my journey Keep up the pump
Back in 2015, I was preparing for IELTS exam, and in one of the test samples, had a text about Calisthenics and Charles Atlas. Up to that point I was a weight lifter, but was tired to be a slave to the gyms. The idea that I can train my body in a more natural and safe way, within the comfort of my home, appealed to me a lot, and I never looked back since.
The last part was like a cold bucket for me, I always thought that I'm well below average, and it was despite people telling me that I have a talent for calisthenics, I thought that after 1.5 year being able to do only muscle up, front lever or even one arm chin up feels like not a big success at all, I was angry at myself that I couldn't match my unrealistic expectations, but this video has opened my eyes about the people doing skills with ease, I don't know their story, I don't know if the video is even real, and if it is, they most likely had a long time with training for that
Bro that's a very high level for most people, I myself have friends that are into the sport and are nowhere close to those skills, they truly are way harder than it may look or even feel. Don't beat yourself too much on that, take pride in what you accomplish dude
@@shiba31 np, hope you keep going at it and achieve whatever your goals are. Also I'd love to hear more about your progression over time, it's always interesting yk
@@eggdog1051 I'm happy to hear that, thank you again, right now I'm grinding for planche, I can nearly hold straddle planche, like, I just bend my arms slightly in the first try when I'm fresh
Great message and definitely the right balance of warning with life pro tip advice. Doing the work not only unlocks the skilled move, but also builds for many others that can have a carryover affect from prior proper training. Greatness takes time, like diamonds.
Good video. Yes, social media is a double edged sword. It is so much easier now days to get great information from channels like Calisthenicmovement, but there is just as much bad information out there. It is our job to know the difference between the two.
I started on awe of doing cool moves like the dragon fly. 7 years natural body builder to 2 month calisthenics beginner. I’m finding it much more rewarding and challenging.
I've done pole dancing for a few years, but unfortunately the studio in my city stops. I've been thinking of doing some calisthenics in the meantime since there is a lot of overlap imo and I don't have my own pole. This was an excellent introduction video. I will look into it and search for good no equipment exercises :) thanks
I probably wouldn't have started fitness consistently if it hadn't been for calisthenics. It made it possible to work out without a gym at a time when I couldn't afford one and being able to work at home helped me stay consistent and fit it in my schedule. That said I've never found calisthenics effective for legs without some sort of added weight (turns out pistol squats are easy) and it is hard to progress some movements since it's not just about strength (it can be a balance challenge or suddenly involve joints that are undertrained).
I wouldnt say it was a niche in 2012. I mean so much of it has existed for longer than any of us have been alive. Aside from that, around 2007-8 I started watching SixPackShortCuts with Mike Chang on YT. Most of the stuff he posted was calisthenics. I've been doing calisthenics for about 17 years now, since I was 10. But only recently started training for gymnastic skills which are now associated with calisthenics (planche, levers, etc)
Something that might be important as well is that in calisthenics genetic predisposition can play a huge role. For example how tall you are, your frame, your muscle insertions etc. So the gifted people out there, which are generally also the ones you see on social media most frequently, will master certain things way faster than the average person. The "problem" then arises when workout plans and coaching are being sold. Most of the stuff that worked for very talented and gifted people doesn't work for the average person at all, which can be very discuraging in the end. Just for reference on what is regarded as maybe an upper-intermediate move like the front lever: I'm 188 cm and rather skinny. My legs are on the longer side as well and my general talent is definetly not within the pulling game. The front lever for me isn't a move that I can casually unlock just by following some random program for a bit. My programming has to be perfect. My nutrition has to be perfect. My sleep has to be perfect. And I really have to focus most of my time on pulling alone. Only by combining all these things I can reach the front lever. With talent and genetics playing a huge role in calisthenics, people often forget that some stuff just isn't possible for an average person. Not everbody can achieve a 10 s maltese...that's only possible if certain conditions AND hard work is combined.
Ego and pride should appear in first for the "rules", all bad habits and destructive behaviours came from it. Think of you body and mind in aging and be safe. Thanks for your work guys.
7:54 DAMN, im above average if i can do only 10 push ups ? so i can't imagine what it is for having 9 pulls ups and 10 dips at my best score (those are my highest) It's make us feeling better,but at same time it is sad to see and know how many peoples not being very fit ... we need to help them to get it started ! And tysm for everything you provide Alex, this is because of internet that i started my fitness journey, and because i wanted doing some sport and workout randomly (fun fact ,it all started from some planks and suats for having bigger legs and abs, yeah i was cringe XD )
is there something particular to take care off when doing skin the cat ? I remember your video about the 3 best bodyweight exercices but maybe you could go a bit more into detail (like scapula position etc) maybe a short video ?
The problem with statisctic at 7:45 is that no one asked about quality of these push-up. I think 50% of population wouldn't do more than 6 correct push-up in a row.
The push up chart at the end is actually super interesting... So there's a HUGE drop off where there isn't many people that can do 31-50 push ups in a row but then the amount of people double for being able to do 51+ Hell there's more people that can do more than 51 push ups in a row than there are people that can do 21 in a row which is crazy to think about
It is interesting how the people of the USA are becoming more and more an example of physical incapacity.I still cant believe that half of them cant do 10push ups.Thats ridiculous.It should be renamed to the United States of Pizza and Coca Cola.
We had to take that training much much harder to reach the 51+. People reaching this category have all the same mindset , dedicated calisthenics ,consistents that's why they get together at the strongest skills. So, in the thousands of beginners of calisthenics some will give up but finally even more will get a stronger mindset.
When I did push ups with bad form I could do like 60 of them, now I do them with proper form and I can do 20. I haven't been training push ups as much now so my improvement is much slower.
I'm likely somewhere between except "bodybuilders". My training goal is mobility, strength and healthy joints & ligaments to boulder better with fewer injuries.
What do you think are the best callisthenics exercises for achieving a high heart rate (say zone 3/4, so 85%+ of max) that can be done in an apartment? Exercises involving jumping (tuck jumps, burpees, jumping jacks, etc) seem the best for raising your heart rate, but they lead to unhappy people in rooms below. Typical movements (pushups, squats, etc) don't seem to boost heart rate as much.
Bodyweight squats for reps. Also you can modify burpees and do them without jumping and pushup, so its less slamming on the ground, and the standing up part is more than enough
hi Calimove. Can you make a video about how to relief shoulder blade knot? I got injured while sweeping my house 1 week ago, and the pain still hasn't gone .
Major issue with calisthenics is range of weight you can lift and range of exercices you can do for one particular muscle group. Therefore gym is way to go for me personally.
Calisthenics alone can do so much but if you go to the gym and cater your training to complement calisthenics then you can get there faster. Old adage of "train for your sport"
Yes combining them is probably the best you can do if you want a well rounded, strong and healthy body. For example calisthenics teaches you great body awareness, proper shoulder/scapula positioning and control. Cool skills and is great for building a powerful upper body, relative to bodyweight. Weightlifting is better for building muscle strength and mass, absolute strength (total strength regardless of bodyweight),and also you can train areas that calisthenics is weak in such as lower back and legs.
I have a question if someone has achieved all advance moves of calisthenics like planche push ups, strict form muscle ups,handstand push ups.90 degree handstand push ups etc.What he/she should do next
Well there are many things you could do: Clean your moves ups, do more reps, hold them longer. Besides that: Most of the moves you mentioned are hard but not the limit. How about learning: One Arm Levers, Manna, One Arm Pull Ups, Impossible Dips, Iron Cross, Maltese, Wide Ring Muscle Ups etc. etc.
You cannot say you have mastered calisthenics until you can do multiple front lever pull ups to touch using various grip, planche push ups + press using various grip, maltese hold and presses, one arm levers and pull ups/push ups (up to one arm front lever pull ups and one arm planche push ups and one arm handstand push ups) , pelican planche push ups, Iron cross and Olympic level rings elements.
I guess im the "bodybuilder" kind of calisthenic person. The gym at my area are very small to the point we have to "queue up" to use a gym equipment. So i transitioned to calisthenics to build a stronger and bigger body. Started by doing pull up rows to harder variation of push ups now to being able to hold a 2 seconds planche! Its been a on and off journey but its a lifestyle that i wont stop doing.
I have a question. im trying to learn hansstand push up cus i can hold it for about 17 seconds but when i go down i cant control my balance at all. Any tips?
I rmbr I used to thought calisthencis isnt that hard, but now Im a lot more realistic. I just got my first muscle up two days ago, and still not even close to a front lever.

When i started weight lifting, i was 58kg, 1m76, very thin, now i'm 2 years into mixed weight/cali, and the only supplement i implemented in my diet was for joint pain
You see every workout i did passive hangs or knee push-ups, i had tremendous sharp pain in my wrists
without supplement, wrist pain would last 48-72h,
with in less than 12 hour i had complete recovery
Chrondroitine 1500mg + Glucosamine 1200mg
Collagene supplement is bullshit for Joints recovery, don't loose any money to that bs
And around 4 months ago i started supplementing with creatine, and i don't know if it's a placebo but i feel like going to true failure is much easier but maybe it's just regularity and now i know what i'm doing compared to at the begining of my journey

What do you think are the best callisthenics exercises for achieving a high heart rate (say zone 3/4, so 85%+ of max) that can be done in an apartment? Exercises involving jumping (tuck jumps, burpees, jumping jacks, etc) seem the best for raising your heart rate, but they lead to unhappy people in rooms below. Typical movements (pushups, squats, etc) don't seem to boost heart rate as much.
Bodyweight squats for reps. Also you can modify burpees and do them without jumping and pushup, so its less slamming on the ground, and the standing up part is more than enough

Alex looked disappointed when his height didn't increase 😢
I have a question. im trying to learn hansstand push up cus i can hold it for about 17 seconds but when i go down i cant control my balance at all. Any tips?
I rmbr I used to thought calisthencis isnt that hard, but now Im a lot more realistic. I just got my first muscle up two days ago, and still not even close to a front lever.
