Top 5 Calisthenics Facts Nobody Tells You (How To Reach An Elite Level)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- I’m keeping it very real in this video and giving you just 100% facts that nobody else will tell you about what it takes to reach an elite level in calisthenics…
And if you take ALL of these facts seriously and follow the advices I gave in the video, then I’m sure you will put on strength and muscle faster than all of your friends…
Especially because most people just do very random stuff.
And then, when they see that you’re getting bigger than them and they ask you where you learned how to progress so fast…
Tust tell them to listen to these proper Barseagle advices 🗿
Also, if you’re looking for a 10/10 system to progress fast in strength, to the point where you’ll easily be able to unlock handstand pushups like you see in this video, then you can learn more here: www.barseaglea...
1. Discipline (train consistently).
2. Coaches usually stall your progress by having you switch programs.
3. Focus on the basics to learn skills faster in the future.
4. Take knowledge seriously.
5. NEVER train when body is off in a big way - always rest more to avoid injury.
3. progressing in strength (weight) for the basics (pull ups, dips)
@InfantryBlad thanks Bruh
Thanks
@itayhazan1247 YW Bro!
Ian with chest hair before GTA VI is crazy
He’s gorgeous isn’t he
@@jamesb4729 Now he is ia. Beareagle
Huh?
@@elcrackengaitos_bs4804 HUH , chama
That's mean he have high trt
Bro I’m 12 yrs old and you inspired me to start working out at the start I could not even do one dip but now because of you I got from 0 to 27 dips in only 3 months thank you so much!
@@Rockyburns-q6r that's mad bro. If you keep training by the time your like 16 ore something you will have planche front lever etc
Yo 27 dips is insane man. How'd you get to that exactly?
@@athxiaa4805just follow the 2-step method. I'm 18 years old and I got from 12 to 20 dips in only few sessions and double my deep dips from 5 to 10 reps in only one session
Just remember the older you get the slower you progress, also it will later on be a battle against aging. Never stop!
Nice Progress, but please only count the ones where you Stretch your Arms fully and Go down at lest below 90 degree ;)
It's so crazy, how true and honest your tips and input are! When I started focusing on the Basics and once I could do weighted Pull ups with 20 kg for 10 reps and do explosive/high pull ups suddenly I could do Front Lever in 2-3 Workout Sessions! Exactly like you said! Keep up the great work
Same bro I did what he said and unlock front lever in only 2 weeks
I think maybe because front lever also uses the lats alot like in a dumbbell pullover.
You’re 5’3
@@Alex-u6j8q OK
Bro Im already 2 weeks in and see big changes, no pr or anything but man im feeling pumped everyday
man he is seriously crazy !!! 🤣🤣 from cat reaction to hooking microphone on his chest hair...
but the knowledge he gives is absolutely genuine ...i Love this guy and his content ❤
11:15 i love how the cat turns and appreciates your handstand push ups hahahah
The third tip is so true! I learned muscle ups in one day because I can pull 35 kilos on pull ups so pulling myself over the bar was as easy as a walk in the park. Same for handstand push ups. My coach made sweat blood on dips and when he told me to try a handstand push up i did it so easily I couldn't believe it.
You changed my life Ian. I will never thank you enough.
ian: im just 188cm 95 kg
@@jsa1119 96kg now. The beast is getting stronger 💪
Top 5 By Ian
Discipline (take training seriously I guess)
Coaches dont fix your training and stalls your progress (sale pitch for Ian program )
Strength before skills, basics first
Take knowledge seriously and take injuries seriously and take time to recover.
thanks bro
thanks man
So basically the same thing we have been doing for years lol
@@frog6054 How else do you make money . Sell people what they already know.
So that's some shitty advices
You are a captivating teacher. I could watch and listen to you forever.
Thank you sir! I was always deluded by my own ego that i trained for 2 year, but didn't get to the level of doing muscle up but neglecting basic.
Thanks for your facts slapping!
Loved the cat walking so calm ❤
Here is an advice from a guy not as strong as you and not as strict as you. Will you take it? I dont know, because I am not at your level. But the topic is posture. I see that you are leaning foreward with your head while standing and you shift your lower body a little foreward. I recently had a disc buldging at c6/c7. Its the most unpleasent pain and time I have ever had. I train a lot compared to my peers but again, I am not at your level. But please believe me. See a professional to adjust your posture. Because the force excerted at your spine is multiplied when not standing straight in a habitual manner. Give it at least 3% (or more) of your daily time to work on it, maybe even start out with yoga or similar practices. It requires stretching and relaxing. I know thats not what you want to hear, because it doesnt include "progress" but it will guarantee you, your skeleton will like you for it. Especially when you get older.
Keep going and thank you for your videos ❤
Edit: try searching for "best Qi Gong for beginners master shi heng yi playlist" there is a small compilation of 6 videos or so from Shaolin temple europe. This is the kind of posture adjustment and mobility I am talking about.
true
Postiere can be „Genetic“ but is mostly Habits. If you sit a lot and don’t move much in your day, your spine gets a lot of compression. Walking itself already puts compression on your spine. If you look at Ian, who is doing a lot of training and has good muscles to support his spine, with not too much weight like some bodybuilders. I wouldn’t worry about him ;) but very good to point it out. He also does a little of hanging which decompresses. And he already had a lower back injury. So I think he has an eye on it ;)
@Bluntzwerg ;)
Believe what you want to. Let him decide. And you dont have to tell me. I have been taught the hard way and am doing a lot of sport.
I think your occupied by the not invented here syndrom.
Edit. At C6/C7 you might notice that the logic of too much weight does not apply, because there is not much on top of it at this location. At the lower part of the back yes, but more upwards not. The cause of a buldging disk at c7 upwards is bad posture and too tight neck muscles. They compress the spinal bones and if they are not stretched and moved around the discs take damage
@@ApxllxnNot saying you Are wrong! I just think that he is aware of that.
Okay, the opening thoughts made perfect sense to me.
I was doing muscle ups with Kip for 5 months finally 2 weeks ago I started weighted pullups, I can do a muscle up with no kip for 1 rep with just being able to do 15 lbs 6 reps at 148 bw. Like he said, BASICS ARE KEY.
Getting my first set of rings tomorrow, super excited about it.
As a student i really appreciate your way of explaining and inspired a lot from you and your hardwork .
Keep going man
Keep progressing
Keep inspiring us
Thanks lan 🤠 for such a great content . 🌟✨
Bro stop playing brawl stars

Thanks for making these super informative videos. You don’t even need editing to make it good
Hairy 188 cm and 96 kg is next level strong like a True Don key Warrior Calisthenics Barseagle beast. So does that mean being hairy means your stronger. Amazing knowledge also Ian Barseagle's program is the best.
Brother, i really dont coment a lot, but i've been following for a while and i'm decided to watch all of your videos and keep gettin' inspired by all your potential and your achievments, and make good use of your advices because i think it's the best you can do, when you know this is of the best channels in the youtube workout world.💪🏻💯

@Vascil if u give me an other source i ll do that
188cm 96kg fact : the English is so beautiful :)
I am starting in calisthenics and thank you for your help. I am going to start learning the basics. Thank you 🙏
I love this video Ian, you're speaking the truth, people lie about their mistakes and it makes people like us who give fitness advice that's real and practical out to be liars.
I also love the the advice of building strength over skill not undermining the importance of the latter.
I can tell you're a real disciplined natural. Good shit.
7:27 bro scaped the matrix 😳
Thank you for the info ian, really appreciate it, im trying to work as hard as i can and as consistent as i can with all the knowledge im gaining from you, my strength have been skyrocketing and i already past most of my friends who used to be better than me, keep up the good work keep uploading ill wach them all!!
I tried PPL the way you recommend, my biceps are still sore/pumped after 2 days of rest and I only did 1 exercise and 2 sets...your content is quality!
what a legendary motivator.
From attaching the microphone onto his hair to clipping it onto his chest hair lmao
Ian is whole vibe man! I giggled all the way through, no homo. Aura is real
8:38 oyoyoiii is such a moldovan thing to say xD
So proud that there's someone of your caliber representing our country🔥
Thanks Ian i got 18 to 50 dips in 15 days by trying your workout for real
Whenever you drop video I start to progress faster you give the best advice that nobody tells.

Summary
The video discusses five lesser-known facts about calisthenics training, emphasizing the importance of dedication, foundational strength, and the nuances of coaching.
Highlights
🚫 Coaches may not reveal all truths to avoid losing clients.
📈 Progressing in calisthenics requires serious dedication, especially at advanced levels.
🔑 Master the basics (e.g., pull-ups and dips) before attempting advanced skills.
⚠️ Injuries often stem from ignoring recovery signals and dehydration.
🎥 The aesthetic appeal of skills like handstand push-ups is contrasted with the training experience.
⏳ Many fail to admit training mistakes, hindering their progress.
I love your content brooo thank you for more uploads
All is true, you need progressive overload; note your training output and try to match it or beat it next time. Warm up good, stretch out properly, listen to your body, don’t rush it, one small injury can reset your current state and make you frustrated.
I train for 30 years and I learned a lot just by being stubborn and doing what he says not to do.
Did he just say "suii " at 8:30 😂😂😂
Me too Wondering abt tht 😂suii
We want more videos like that ian, a great video and fun asf😂
I know my opinion may be invalid because I'm very low level beginner, but I think we should all take training as seriously as possible. We should all progress for the sake of being optimal. Who wouldn't want to achieve the best possible version of themselves as quickly as possible in the sport? Lazy people maybe, but those who truly want to maximize their potential should be devoted
Of course what you say is right, but the reason no one is like this at a low level is because it’s way too hard
True in a sense, but I don't think that gives us an excuse to work any less hard. I do agree in the sense that higher athletes have more of a priority though
In the beginning everyone is excited and wants to go as hard as possible to get results as fast as possible. This leads lots to burnout/get disheartened when they work really hard and don’t get the results quick enough. It’s better to look long term and stay consistent with a manageable workload that one can maintain and progress with.
By training hard I meant more of training optimally. Even so, it is hard to overtrain when you are a beginner in the sport because the risk of injury is so low
Really I lost so much time with injury, most important advice don't rush just stay consistent, once diet is checked and smart workout plan, nothing can accelerate the process, just years and years
The chest hair is truly working for you
the “fack” that you said was crazy true
Thank you Ian. I enjoy your tips and high standards. Building my base strength for muscle ups is my current goal.. did 3 sets to 4 of handstand pushups this morning ( but wirh toes gluiding on smooth wall), now doing 4x4 weighted pull ups to 8 ( odd numbers full pulls, even are half pulls from biceps horizontal position), weight is 9kg, i brake coming down for more activation. But with 20Kg on belt I can do 1 regular and 2 half pull ups wirh wide grip. This is 125% of my body weight. I am slender build; need heavy weights to limit me to about 3 reps to add size.. thanks for your instruction. You are the top in my view. I also try to catch sun on torso skin as much as possible. I am growing with steady effort and clean foods.
Ian please we need a video about how to combine learning skills and training weighted callisthenics at the same time
I had to click as soon as i saw it was notification of you posting, keep up ur greatness ❤
Respect bro ... My fav Calisthenics youtuber... And my Morning Workout Motivator ... Fck bro Let's goo 🔥🔥
tht honestly looks like the most dreamy location and close to the beach. i want to reach this level of success
Crazy knowledge bro amazing work🫡
love your advices, my progress with strenght in weighted dips/pull ups going well
Everybody tells you: your biceps genetics is amazing.
Great video and great info 🦾🫡
The goat, everything you said are just facts 🔥.
But this information can be so counterintuitive that you have to stop for a moment and think about it so it starts to make sense. 0.00188km for a reason.
65kg and 169cm, doing weighted pull ups with 50kg for 6 and weighted dips with 60kg for 9. Muscle up never looked cleaner, and just unlocked front lever pull up🔥.
Keep up Ian💪💪💪
If I do 10 kg pullups for 5 reps, how much time should it ideally take to get to 10 reps 10 kg? Asking because I’m very inconsistent
@@kevzf1 to 2 week if you practice consistent
The best video out there and very usefull thanks brother
Please advices for the beginners who can't do dips and Pulls and for the ones that can do 0-5 on both, and how to progress to 20 dips and 15 pulls
the strength of his mic very inspiring
He just motivates me so much
After watching another video of him, a few days old, that he talked about training specific muscles for 2 times per week, and doing only 2 sets of max reps, (I do not have weights to place, so I am doing pullups and dips only with my body weight), I modified my training, I did only 2 sets for a few weeks but I increased to 3 sets now (I will not increase more than 3 sets per session). What I was doing before was 1 day of the week I was doing 8 sets at the 2/3 of my max reps (to have a training day with more volume) , with breaks of 3-4 minutes between sets, and the other day of the week (eg Saturday, and Wednesday) I was doing 4 sets with max reps (to have a training day focused on intensity), with rest of around 7-8 minutes between sets. Lets see if with the 3 sets , 2 days / week, I will manage to increase my numbers ,
Bro your strength is insane 😮😮😅
I am 15 years and 85 kg because of Ian I am started calisthenics before 6 months and now I insanely progress from 0 dips to now I am able to do 6 dips with 30 kgs and on pull ups I can do 8 reps with 20kgs.
Excellent advice here. Basics first: strength (weighted calisthenics). I would only add one thing (IMHO): DIET (hint: find out what seed oils are and then get rid of all of them) also, MEAT. Lots of MEAT (and fruits, honey and dairy (if you can tolerate it) and some eggs).
UR SOO STRONGGGG ❤
BUT NEVER MORE THEN ME~😤
Thanks for sharing this, bro! The cat was don was some cool stuff. Maybe he wanted a job as the camera 😹
Thank you so much for this info bro ❤ love from India 🙏
I learned front lever gairly quickly. Anywhere from one month to maybe 2 months max and im just estimating. A solid foundation does really help consisting of 20 perfect form pull ups starting with chest to bar til failure and finishing it with chin over the bar to complete the 20 reps, and also I would train for max reps with chin going over the bar to failure, simultaneously training both styles of perfect form and like a rush down PU training session for the burn. Both of those training styles + weighted PU with 45 lbs for 10 reps made learning FL extra easy
Thanks for subtitles 🤝🙏
ian looking grizzly bro! is that mic hooked to your chest hair?😅🤣
Maybe you should try different hspu variations like clap or tiger or something like that. I think calisthenics always have little bit harder degree in every move.
Those are just for show
@Vascil Then you can do weighted hspu.
My coach is just a Legend ! ❤
YOU LOOK BEAST WITH CHEST HAIR 95KG/188CM 🗿
Is this the 2-set method ?
4:54 the way bro spat on his phone... freaky ahh 🗿
Ian can we get a playlist of yours that you use when working out, or some song suggestions🙏🏽
Its my rest day and im itching to workout but Ian is right! Since im still a bit sore tm we will be back safer and stronger 🦾💯
That’s the answer I wanted to hear :)
Pov: when the 188cm/96kg beast says something, agree or disagree you should take that 💪
Bro you need to post tutorial on Handstand push up
Thank you so much Ian!!!!!!!
Chris Heria collab would be sick!
Man i thought it's only me having those problems with HSPU. I am almost on 90 degree pushup and still struggle with consistent HSPU. Sometimes i get only one rep,sometimes 6.
Garachico vibe 💪🏻💪🏻☀️
He is legend, i want to become like him
Good video bro💪
Us spoke the truth, if people knew these things their would a lot less injuries
Thanks brother ❤️💯
First few minutes are pretty serious, coming from a guy who’s clipped his mic in his nipple 😅😅😅
Having said that this is solid advice in this video!
Couple more tips.
If we change the way we look at things the things we look at will change.
Practice does not make perfect.
Perfect practice makes perfect!
Tbh it's kind of mouthful, but the points you made are true wisdom.
