Did that for the first time for 4 sets 8-10 reps 2 days ago and that really burned my bicep I still feel the muscle soreness from it today, it’s a very good bicep exercise.
Progress these by moving under the anchor point, and weighting it with a dip belt! As well as longer strap length, one arm is less valuable on isolation exercises! But you can get crazy heavy with these on rings just through getting your strap length and anchor point angle dialled into your level Best to have stability for isolation, but go heavy as you can handle, Get the dip belt out if you’ve maxed out the rings, but if you’ve done that, you’re already a complete monster lol
I started practicing 4 months ago on your free program and benefited a lot from it ( thank you🙏 ) And I want to ask what level I have to reach in order to change it
Thank you for sharing high quality content! Question: During this exercise you shared, I notice the shoulders, back, hip, knee, and ankle joints will all be performing isometric work. This brings me to my question: If any of the muscles under isometric tension approach muscular failure, then would the hypertrophy adaptation be triggered? If so, since muscles under isometric tension are not working through a full rom/stretch, would that present a risk for lopsided or partially grown muscles? Thank you for your time!
Generally isometrics are not the best way for hypertrophy but it does not mean that its not working. For example on a RDL the main goal is working the hamstrings but the traps also work really hard and usually its enough to develop them without isolation. In this case if u max out on this your core would definitely get better,probably your obliques and even shoulders. Also if the muscles that are working isometrically fail first they are probably really weak compared to the main muscle and would probably benefit from isolation for a few weeks but i wouldnt necessarily do it long term unless u want to specifically develop those muscles. Hope this helps 😁!
I’ve tried a few variations of biceps calisthenics training and honestly been pretty disappointed. Maybe it’s because I’ve already developed strong biceps from weights, but the variations tend to be either way too easy or way too difficult, without a decent way to progress between them. I’ve tried what you’re showing here and pelican curls and found them too easy, chin ups just don’t feel like they isolate the bicep well enough, and one handed chin ups or that bicep focused chin up variation I don’t know if there’s a name for are too difficult. The only way I can see to progress would be to cut body weight, but that wouldn’t be conducive to the rest of my training. I think I’ll just stick with weights, pull ups are king as a vertical pull for back though.
zanetti press is still the only bicep exercise you should do as a calesthenics athlete. because it prepares for cross, maltese, backlever and planche. and since the other end of the bicep gets stretched in chin ups, it compliments that exercise also very well
Shoulder flexion is not important for hypertrophy of biceps because of bad internal moment arm (biomechanics). You dont need all functions of muscle in one exercise, shortened muscles are weak(there are exceptions like glutes). Supination and elbow flexion are sufficient. The biceps uses tendons as springs and generates a lot of force during stretch positions. The length-tension relationship (length of sarcomeres) says the same thing so better to set the arm in shoulder extension and hyper-extension positions. Pelican curl is better choice. Shortened position versions like this use as addition, not as a basis beacause of weakness (Active insufficiency).
I do these, but it seems a bit more difficult to track compared to poundage increases on free weights. How do y’all track progression? Put a piece of tape down and move it forward gradually? I’m specifically referring to the “moving towards horizontal” part mentioned.
Hey can you give an advice on how much time should someone workout in a week? My friend has been doing some calisthenic exercises everyday for two years and he's jacked now (he wasn't taking rest days), i just want to know which is effective taking rest or just do as my friend did and not take rest days
3x per week is a pretty good start. I do ~6days per week, push pull legs routine. very simple exercises, yet my physique has never looked better. Just push ups, dips, rows, pull ups, squats and lunges. For the upper body, try to develop scapular control. I've recently learnt through experience just how essential it is to getting the most out of your workouts. Overall, listen to your body. Don't push to the point of fatigue. Find out where the line is through trial and error
Nice one bro! Actually our muscle won’t know which type of weight we are using, bodyweight, machine weight or free weight. It only knows whether we have applied enough training intensity and volume to it. So yes for biceps, bodyweight training definitely can build big size😂
@@JasonAizatoZemeckis Depends on which exercise you choose. If you use muscle up to build muscle, yes they can, but it’s a more technical exercise instead of hypertrophy exercise, that you can’t 100% focus on muscle contractions and pumps only. So for calisthenics hypertrophy, we need to choose simple technique exercise (doesn’t mean easy, 10 one arm pull up is simple, but not easy).
your hands dnt seem to be sliding on the rings which actually makes it impossible to curl without a proper grip. instead you are twisting your wrists. i think that's something I was missing.
Yeah you can even see the difference in bloodflow and engagement. Ring curls are novel but you can beat a DB bicep curl if you want big strong biceps. And you can increase weight to track strength
@@dummy999Add a wights vest go slow squeeze as you curl. Ring curls are phenomenal. A lot of people don't know how to execute bodyweight exercises effectively. Rings are the best tools I ever used.
Pull-ups are great for building reasonable sized arms, but they don't isolate the biceps and for most people won't build massive arms alone. If you want to focus your training on bicep growth specifically you'll need to do bicep focused exercises
If you wanted to compete as a men's physique body builder you absolutely need weights, body weight exercises are not enough to build muscle unless you're just trying to maintain and stay healthy

yes fantisticular
I love how this targets biceps without hitting back, very creative!
Pelican curls are the best

This + pelican curls = success
This+pelican curls+planche leans
this man is a treasure, especially that bicep vein, shits popping. Keep it up man youre inspiring people daily
That’s fire bro! Ima try today. I’m getting very strong and advance. I can hit this with ease. I wanna progress to the 1 arm one tho
Jake you must be jaked

I started practicing 4 months ago on your free program and benefited a lot from it ( thank you🙏 )

Where I can find it ? I want to give it a try, is it Cali only or combined with resistance ?

I’ll do these more than weights now haha
My favorite curl movement. One arm horizontal feels like a 40-55 plus pounds curl.
Keep going brother....

I love ring curls. Its my favourite exercise for arms even tho i workout at a gym from time to time
I am a gym traininer at my Home I recommend, curl is best
That “supination” bar went hard

through steps
Calisthenics with protein are the best
-gym bro
Yes strong friend one arm cali curls also do shoulder elbow flexio and supination
You can do rows with a bedsheet and a closed door
And this why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique in the multi verse
Love you 😍😍😍😍
Beast!
Can you do that without the equipment?

I am striving for heavy weighted chin ups for bigger biceps
do you mainly do bodyweight training or is it mainly weights? Anyway crazy physic
How well can this be done on a straight bar?
Nice one bro! Actually our muscle won’t know which type of weight we are using, bodyweight, machine weight or free weight. It only knows whether we have applied enough training intensity and volume to it. So yes for biceps, bodyweight training definitely can build big size😂
The only difference is the stability, you need more stability for calisthenics so they probably build less muscle than machines

@@silentnight5865 yeah, I usually use exercises like pullups, deadlifts, dips, and pike pushups for hypertrophy or just a full workout
@@JasonAizatoZemeckis 👍
This type of exercise strains the shoulder joint too much due to the extreme rotation of the arm
What about if you don’t have any what’s the best
Is there a way in calisthenics to work upper chest?
Decline pressup
your hands dnt seem to be sliding on the rings which actually makes it impossible to curl without a proper grip. instead you are twisting your wrists. i think that's something I was missing.
Yo you got the Goku fit Im looking for my guy!
Rest period duration after this workout?
2-3 minutes
Dumbbell looked like a way better bicep workout
Yeah you can even see the difference in bloodflow and engagement. Ring curls are novel but you can beat a DB bicep curl if you want big strong biceps. And you can increase weight to track strength
@@dummy999Add a wights vest go slow squeeze as you curl. Ring curls are phenomenal. A lot of people don't know how to execute bodyweight exercises effectively. Rings are the best tools I ever used.
I don’t have a gym or anything to do that
Let's keep the shirt on thing going
Any tips for 50 year olds?
big facts
he combines weightlifting with bodyweight exercises and u should. don't think that he achieved this physique with only bodywieght
🐂 💩 minds set.
That shirt, though 😍
What are those shoes named please
Feiyue's
Now wear an ez vest and put 45 lbs on the back.
I dont have these things.... I just do chin ups
Amen
How are bodyweights not weights?
Why do this instead of normal pull ups?
Pull-ups are great for building reasonable sized arms, but they don't isolate the biceps and for most people won't build massive arms alone. If you want to focus your training on bicep growth specifically you'll need to do bicep focused exercises
Triceps ?
any pushup variation would do
If you wanted to compete as a men's physique body builder you absolutely need weights, body weight exercises are not enough to build muscle unless you're just trying to maintain and stay healthy
Cap
I couldn't disagree more.
so the more you train your muscles to failure, the bigger they're gonna get? 🤔
Bellissima😍🌹
Your biseps are harder!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
