@kojiyamadagifu1 Thanks! I've broken 30 pull-ups a couple times and I've done as many as 75 push-ups non-stop. You should watch some of my other videos if you want to see more of my training.
@Scarecrow545 Go to my blog and check out my articles on pistol squats and shrimp squats. They take lots of practice so don't feel bad if you don't get it for a while.
@macross5000 There's two kinds of one legged squats in this video. The one with the leg in front is called a pistol squat. The one with the leg tucked in back is called a shrimp squat. I have tutorials for both - search for 'em!
@rubberritchie I used to do a lot of weight training but in the last year I've probably only lifted about 5 or 6 times. It's pretty much all bodyweight for me these days.
@rubberritchie I dropped some weight when I switched to this style of training, but I also changed my diet at the same time, and I believe that has more to do with it. I know some big dudes who only life their bodyweight.
Well done Al! You are the first person I have seen focus on legs as well. Just trying to get fit and going to give the Calisthenics a try. From VJ in Cheshire, England
@alkavadlo hi from Italy,to have an idea of the level of strenght required for this workout,for example what is your record at pull ups(full elbow distension) and push ups ? and what about abs ? let me know the approximate number and congratulations for the skills from an iitalian fan
Looking at the comments from 2 years ago brings back memories of the kind of trendy comments that were on workout videos then. "Not impressive" "weak" "haha that's not a workout" lol hopefully they grew up
What? The heart was pumping like crazy after the second set of exercises. That will give anyone a dizzy euphoric feeling. And most people at the park who see me doing just one of these at ten reps always look astonished, then try it themselves and they just cant. He did distribute them in a way not to use the same muscles but I know he was feeling his head spinning from the heart pumping.
Adam Raw does them like that. He also does weighted ones with his knees behind his toes. A good way to avoid it is to do them in front of a wall or something. You can fuck up your knees simply doing lunges with no weights knees past the toes.
Great set! Damn you make pistols look so easy. I've never seen the shrimp but now I'm gonna try it. Is it supposed to be easier or harder than the pistol?
Fabulous Al, Great Job! You are not only physically strong but also so very,much Mentally Strong also. Keep up the good work My man.Thanks for the Video.
Brother Al, you are a gladiator and an inspiration. THis looks like a grueling bit of wickedness. Calisthenics LOOK and sound easy, but they ain' no joke!
They have exercises for that as well and for running faster. Cross fit exercises as well as parkour exercises help. Check out tapp brothers. 6 years later
i was about to say that you can do those things because you weight less than 200 pounds and i weight 235 but in reality im just jealous, and i wish i could do that too, great workouts dude, youre a beast
Dude your amazing, I was planning before I go to the gym everyday to hit the playgrounds and try these kind of calisthenic workouts! But those one legged squats looked back for your knees, are they??
@MeBZ16 I've never met him in person, but his vids are impressive! I know a few people who've trained with him and the word is that he's the real deal.
this is more of a test than a regular workout...i mean these are all great exercises, but you don't need 3 leg exercises and 4 pulling exercises in one workout. personally, i do pistol squats and core exercises (mainly L seats, back bridges are great too) at work and upper body pushing and pulling exercises at home. My regular pull exercise is pull ups of various grips, sometimes with L, my regular push is the hip push up, and I am improving my muscle ups and handstand push ups to replace them.
but, it also depends on your goals. i'm training for absolute strength. if you just are just trying to get your heart rate up while still getting in a reasonable strength workout, this is great. of course, if you can get past the 10 muscle ups, everything else in this routine should be easy as pie.
You can get pull-up bars to install in your door-frame. You can do everyone of these exercises with one of them except for the muscle-up. Okay, for these australian pull-up thingys, you would need a pull-up bar that you can lower, but it does work! (I've got two different pull-up bars myself, so I know ;-) )
This is exactly what I've been looking for to break my plateau. Color me terrified, though I doubt I'll be able to balance for the shrimp or pistol squats.
@alkavadlo Tried yesterday. I'm incapable of doing either kind of squat without falling over. Since I'm at home, I don't have any kind of bar to try the other stuff. :
100 pushups a day will get you that. Do them in 5 to 8 minutes. But do different pushups like regular, incline, decline, out to the side hands and diamond. Or you can even practice planche pushups. Pseudo pushups are the hardest along with handstandpushups.
dips and pull ups Not those normal shitty dips you see though- get your hand, to touch your arm pit, also, bodyweight rows (rotate yourself on a pull up bar so back is paralell to ground, and do pull ups) If you can't do them, then work towards them- as they are easier than muscle ups.
"I'm Alkavadlo, and we're working out!"*smile* always brightens up my day and makes me want to exercise. :)
@AtunHotepRe Thanks! Glad you enjoy my videos - make sure you check out my blog if you haven't yet. (Link is in the description of the vid.)
@KacanuHa Thanks! You should check out my blog!

@cantdo123 This is the one and only Tompkins Square Park in New York City!
@puschmannn Thanks! My joints are still healthy and strong.
@Helios601 Thanks - always good to hear from international fans!
@rubberritchie I used to do a lot of weight training but in the last year I've probably only lifted about 5 or 6 times. It's pretty much all bodyweight for me these days.
@michael88c Thanks, Michael. Shrimps are hard but if you practice I think you can get the hang of it.
@jloo222 Thanks! And yeah I have done some ring training.
@Kanashto You gotta find a bar outside or a gym with a high ceiling.
@82Bdog I find the shrimp a bit harder than the pistol. Try for yourself and find out. :)
@ekubalusabyan It's a lesser known exercise, but a killer. Glad I could make you aware of it!
@rubberritchie I dropped some weight when I switched to this style of training, but I also changed my diet at the same time, and I believe that has more to do with it. I know some big dudes who only life their bodyweight.
Al's technic has become much much better next years:) The older this man the better!
@StarCraftiNator No knee pain. Search for "Pistol Squats" and you should find my tutorials on this move.
Great job Al! Way to grind 'em out and great creativity! I'm hoping to give this challenge a go as soon as the rain stops!
@BUDDHASPORT Thanks very much!
@Torgero Thanks.
@nunh Thanks! Keep training hard!
@rmsolympic1 Thanks! I assure you this was not easy! :)
@dipsetno1 Of course!
This is a great video Al. Yours are among the best, most informative fitness videos on TH-cam. Much Thanks for sharing.
@jima2985 Ha thanks! Figured I might as well go for it on the last one!
@chiTownWaVeHeaD Thanks! The order of the exercises is key!
@TheRuben8811 Thanks!
@josepablobolanos Right on! Thanks for sharing the link. Also feel free to add on fb if you want to.

@augustrefuge Thanks!
@DiffusionPT Haha - I guess I psyched you out!
@churchysam Cool. Let us know how it goes!
good job. those squats are absolutely killer. do you ring train? you'd really benefit from it.

@ekubalusabyan I think that is a great routine!
@glion69 Glad you liked the workout - as for the guy behind me, at least he's getting some exercise!
Great set! Damn you make pistols look so easy. I've never seen the shrimp but now I'm gonna try it. Is it supposed to be easier or harder than the pistol?
Try dragon squats.
Fabulous Al, Great Job! You are not only physically strong but also so very,much Mentally Strong also. Keep up the good work My man.Thanks for the Video.
Brother Al, you are a gladiator and an inspiration. THis looks like a grueling bit of wickedness. Calisthenics LOOK and sound easy, but they ain' no joke!
@abbey78611 Thanks - keep training hard!
Brilliant! Al, do you always train like this or do you work out with weights as well? Big love! x
@rebelwithoutacause05 Will do. :)
@alkavadlo you are so lucky were you are training were i am living there is nothing like this. plz tell me what it is called and were it is???
hey alkavadlo, have you ever attempted touching the basketball rim? i wonder if piston and shrimp squats will help me drastically with my vertical.
They have exercises for that as well and for running faster. Cross fit exercises as well as parkour exercises help. Check out tapp brothers. 6 years later
@iguanaman07 I guess Howie's been working out.
i was about to say that you can do those things because you weight less than 200 pounds and i weight 235 but in reality im just jealous, and i wish i could do that too, great workouts dude, youre a beast
Strong AF with no extra bulk. Totally awesome man.
Can you make a tutorial on how to achieve a muscle up, please?
my stomach keeps getting in the way for my one leg squats...what's the official name for that exercise again?
@Scarecrow545 Right on - go get 'em!
Al, you are an inspiration.
Respect! I can do some of the things you've shown, but most are pretty tough!
Thanks for the video, new exercises for me!!!
@ekubalusabyan Thanks! Now go do some pull-ups! :D
I can actually somewhat do em now (or could last time I tried), but thanks!
@gassiusdave umm...okay
Dude your amazing, I was planning before I go to the gym everyday to hit the playgrounds and try these kind of calisthenic workouts! But those one legged squats looked back for your knees, are they??
@alkavadlo Did you get smaller doing more bodyweight? I can't do weights as they make me stiff and then I can't do my act. : (
@saawordup haha - thanks!
Nice work, I love the muscle ups. You look great!
@MeBZ16 I've never met him in person, but his vids are impressive! I know a few people who've trained with him and the word is that he's the real deal.
MOST INSPIRING thing i have seen on the net. thanks very much!
ok i felt great about what great shape i was in....thanks for making me feel weak lol most those excercises are on another level
this is more of a test than a regular workout...i mean these are all great exercises, but you don't need 3 leg exercises and 4 pulling exercises in one workout. personally, i do pistol squats and core exercises (mainly L seats, back bridges are great too) at work and upper body pushing and pulling exercises at home. My regular pull exercise is pull ups of various grips, sometimes with L, my regular push is the hip push up, and I am improving my muscle ups and handstand push ups to replace them.
That is extremely impressive - you have set the bar high for me :)
You're in awesome shape man!
but, it also depends on your goals. i'm training for absolute strength. if you just are just trying to get your heart rate up while still getting in a reasonable strength workout, this is great. of course, if you can get past the 10 muscle ups, everything else in this routine should be easy as pie.
Also good for hypertophy.
You can get pull-up bars to install in your door-frame. You can do everyone of these exercises with one of them except for the muscle-up. Okay, for these australian pull-up thingys, you would need a pull-up bar that you can lower, but it does work! (I've got two different pull-up bars myself, so I know ;-) )
Seen one skinny kid who has a channel where he does his muscle ups at home literally going up against the wall above his door lol.
The perfect pullup comes with Australian hanging bar.
Very impressive!
@MrTaylorreaves i'm sure you can find people doing just about anything and everything. it's in new york city.
This is exactly what I've been looking for to break my plateau. Color me terrified, though I doubt I'll be able to balance for the shrimp or pistol squats.
great vid Al like always , shrimp squat looks good I will try it
Nice! I'm doing this workout tomorrow! :)
Nice work
Il be sure to stop by tomorrow and do this exact same routine. Although my muscle ups are quite shitty. Lol but atleast I'm getting up there.
That place i know i was there xD Was training hard with bar barians and Beastmode
This really is ridiculous nice job!!
@alkavadlo
Tried yesterday.
I'm incapable of doing either kind of squat without falling over. Since I'm at home, I don't have any kind of bar to try the other stuff. :
do you only do calisthenic workouts or do you hit the gym too? i wish i could get a chest as developed as yours from push ups - no homo
100 pushups a day will get you that. Do them in 5 to 8 minutes. But do different pushups like regular, incline, decline, out to the side hands and diamond. Or you can even practice planche pushups. Pseudo pushups are the hardest along with handstandpushups.
may i ask something does that park in nyc do u see people practice martial arts
Yes.
you need to set a time limit or rest periods between sets
I think the challenge was to not rest....
@alkavadlo I'll definitely do it,thanks
that dude shooting hoops at 4:18 has got some great form! hahaha
You guys have some sick parks in NYC
Tompkins Square Park.
how many times should I do this workout per week....??
and only do it once per day....??
Thanks :)
3x
dips and pull ups
Not those normal shitty dips you see though- get your hand, to touch your arm pit, also, bodyweight rows (rotate yourself on a pull up bar so back is paralell to ground, and do pull ups)
If you can't do them, then work towards them- as they are easier than muscle ups.
I love bodyweight rows. I call them inverted rows though. Am I wrong? They are for arms and back.
awesome workout
good job dude! , greetings from Mexico
