I train mainly to stat healthy and in shape, I bought complete calisthenics program some time ago and although it is great I feel it's not perfect for my goal and the effort I can put in it (biggest issue for me is consistency). I will buy the body transformation program soon ✌🏻
Really useful video. I would be much interested in a video where u give some tips and recommendations about how to combine some of these styles and cleverly integrate them in one calisthenics workout plan.
Hey!! I really enjoy ur vids and I think u both are great. I want u to make a video on the book "Convict Conditioning" by Paul Wade. I would rlly appreciate it.
I am following your Caliathenics course now for over a year (now starting level 4) and start to make some progress withskills. However despite being in quite good shape I am starting to feel my age of 62, mainly in the tendons. Just recently I slightly stressed my left arm biceps tendon. How should one cope with such (minor) injuries? Completely stepping down from training? At my age muscle loss happens much faster and I always struggle with considering sufficient recovery versus keeping a minimum activity level.
I'm bulking currently and train calisthenics. I gain some weight but my progression were regressed as well. I used to be able to do 12 reps of parallette d archer push ups, but after gain some weight I'm loosing it and now currently stick in Normal Push ups on parallette. So does with Leg, back then i could train asissted pistol squat and later on Bulgarian split squat at one session. But after gaining more weight from bulking, i struggle to get 3x12 sets of Bulgarian split squat, let alone Assisted pistol squat Is it normal?
I think it's normal, because bodyweight exercice are way more difficult when you gain some weight, even muscle gain, and strength gain. But when you say you are bulking, you mean you train with free weights or with street lifting?
In the street lifting when you say heavy and light days, do you refer to light intensity days and high intensity or to using lighter and heavy loads? Also, where I can learn all the in depth theory about training you mentioned?
In sportscience "intensity" is the amount of load or resistance. What most people mean when they say intensity is effort meaning how close you go to failure. So intensity is not how exhausted you are after training. So when we say intensity we mean the amount of resistance you use which can be expressed by your max amount of reps (RM amount). So 5RM is a higher intensity (higher load/resistance) than 20RM.
This was a great breakdown. I'm familiar with the categories, but never really reflected on how they occur in my training. I'd say mine is 30% aesthetics (not for aesthetics so much as isolation/control) 10% skills 10% freestyle 10% mobility 30% sets and reps 10% street/weighted I know it's kind of a part of both skills and freestyle, but I feel like both isometric and power have their places, too.
if u limited on equipment is pushups pullups and squats all u need for muscle gain . just the three basic movements then progress to harder variations to build muscle so im only doing 3 excercises at a time + can i do fast reps to build muscle
If you can do a pull up and a push up then you unlock like a gazillion variations that you can use. For legs it is much more difficult to progressively overload without equipment (I too am saving for a >=bw sandbag to do lunges and such.). When it comes to slow vs fast reps, do both and adjust depending on your goals and skills you want to unlock. Eg: For muscle ups, explosive hollow push ups are a king, and for something more controlled like rings exercises, slower will give you a better feel
What about parkour / acrobat/ gymnastics floor - type stuff? I know Alex is quite skilled at that stuff and I'd love calimove to put out a program around the basics skills of that kind of stuff
It's easy just try to focus on balancing and strength. Go slowly down while maintaining a normal squat position and try to maintain the other leg straight and use all your strength to go up slowly while maintaining the posture. Do it with the help of the wall for practice.
I sweat just by watching those vids ;) I've been meaning to buy the basic/mobility workout programs for ages and some day I will. Those videos are super inspirational.
7:01 "It's basically powerlifting with muscle ups.." Until they keep including muscle ups in the competitions, streetlifting is like powerlifting and weightlifting combined, which is the dumbest thing ever because all the powerlifting lifts are about strength and all the weightlifting lifts are about explosiveness. Dips and pullups / chinups can be considered similar to powerlifting lifts, since they''re also about strength, but not the muscle ups.
@calimove you personally replying means alot! Thankyou, Subbed ❤️. This exercise seems like the perfect progression to shoulder dislocations (with a bar/stick) adding strength component to the mobility benefits.. 😁
I train my core 4 times a week in this way: Day 1: I train my lower back and obliques with 4 exercises Day 2: I train my lower and upper abs with 4 exercises as well I rest one day and then repeat for another 2 days Is it possible to continue this?
Tip I would love to be given years ago, get a Weighted vest to do basics. Train strict exercises & explosive with it, like the Crossfiters (except kipping Pullups), don't neglect resistance & cardio training. The athletic body can run and jump and do explosive things
@@willguggn2 the iconography from the region of India is definitely older than Greece as a country but it is kind of silly to say that something man-made would be older than men itself. I can't believe anybody would like your comment. 🤦 Also, in America, OG just stands for Original Gangster, sometimes even the word original itself.
@@LatimusChadimus Modern humans arrived in the Mediterranian 130k years ago, 50-80k years later in India. I'd guess being 50k years early qualifies as OG rather than being 50k years late. And yes, there were humans long before anatomically modern humans, who also practiced culture and most likely body weight exercises, too. You may have heard of Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals for example.
@@willguggn2 there aren't enough fossil records to prove humans Beyond 7000 years. After the global flood that resorted the world into layers you had civilization restarting in the land of Turkey but still when it came to modern training there are more records in India than around greece. The layout of the Earth can prove my statement more than your fake numbers that people just guessed.
@@willguggn2 there aren't enough fossil records to prove history beyond 7,000 years, but after the global flood that sorted the world into the layers we have today, human civilization restarted in the land of Turkey. You still have more iconography coming out of India maybe one or two thousand years older than anything coming out of grease. At least my claims are proved by the Earth itself and yours comes from nothing but guesswork of people just making things up because they have no actual idea. That's why it's called a theory compared to reality.

@@Rory626 it doesn't matter if it is good or not. If you are an old subscriber you might know that Sven used to do make vids also but El Eggs doesn't wants him to give opportunity. I have messaged him several times regarding this
It’s not that I don't let him do it. He simply doesn't like to do it. That's why he does it only when he speaks about his own experiences. So maybe he does it more often if many people really beg him to do so 😂
6 Types of Calisthenics
0:24 Aesthetics ( 1:22 *Reccomendations*)
2:03 Skills ( 3:07 **)
3:27 Freestyle ( 4:21 **)
4:34 Mobility ( 5:26 ** )
5:32 Sets and Reps ( 6:47 ** )
6:56 Street Lifting ( 7:49 ** )
That faceplant was brutal
This video is super useful. It organizes calisthenics into categories really well and makes me revisit and consider my own goals. Respect 👏
Yes, very motivational 👍👍
El Eggs always impresses with his flexibility and perfect form.

This is excellent comprehensive list guys! Keep up the great work.
Excellent vid!
Manu thanks 🔥🤝

Huzah!
Awesome video.. loved the info
Amazing video, thanks❤
Great video guys!
Really useful video. I would be much interested in a video where u give some tips and recommendations about how to combine some of these styles and cleverly integrate them in one calisthenics workout plan.
Sehr schön aufgeteilt :)
👏👏👏👍
What is the name of the blue slip in shoe worn in 1:56? Thanks!
And then there's me who just does it for fun

@@isashi6668 free weight
Yes, because bulking and cutting is not a concept calisthenics athletes engage in.
Yes if you weigh more than your lifting more weight, which results in less reps
Calisthenics for Sport such as Boxing and Martial Arts.
Active movements means just dynamic or just passive active?
Calisthenics is best done when bored.
Sets N Reps for Ever, or Until One Big set with Three or Four digits
Nice information ❤

In the street lifting when you say heavy and light days, do you refer to light intensity days and high intensity or to using lighter and heavy loads? Also, where I can learn all the in depth theory about training you mentioned?
Light loads with explosiveness + higher count vs Higher loads with slower (or same speed) and lower reps.
In sportscience "intensity" is the amount of load or resistance. What most people mean when they say intensity is effort meaning how close you go to failure. So intensity is not how exhausted you are after training. So when we say intensity we mean the amount of resistance you use which can be expressed by your max amount of reps (RM amount). So 5RM is a higher intensity (higher load/resistance) than 20RM.
Where to learn in depth theory about training:
the book
Overcoming gravity - Steven Low
So many :)))
What if i want to achieve all ? How can i incorporate all for a weekly sessions?
This was a great breakdown. I'm familiar with the categories, but never really reflected on how they occur in my training.
I'd say mine is
30% aesthetics (not for aesthetics so much as isolation/control)
10% skills
10% freestyle
10% mobility
30% sets and reps
10% street/weighted
I know it's kind of a part of both skills and freestyle, but I feel like both isometric and power have their places, too.
Im working on skills and aesthetics
Can I combine aesthetics with skills (serious question)
You website link is down
same here
if u limited on equipment is pushups pullups and squats all u need for muscle gain . just the three basic movements then progress to harder variations to build muscle so im only doing 3 excercises at a time + can i do fast reps to build muscle

2:14 what is this skill name
Dragon flag
Front lever, human flag, 3rd one I'm not so sure but I guess u could always call it "the human flag with hands at waist level"
What about HIIT and cardio?
What about parkour / acrobat/ gymnastics floor - type stuff? I know Alex is quite skilled at that stuff and I'd love calimove to put out a program around the basics skills of that kind of stuff
I think that may under the category of skills
That is the skills style training.
Correct. Skill Training👌
Please Make A Video On One Leg Squats 🎉❤
It's easy just try to focus on balancing and strength.
Go slowly down while maintaining a normal squat position and try to maintain the other leg straight and use all your strength to go up slowly while maintaining the posture. Do it with the help of the wall for practice.
My all time chanllange to my self is to do pull ups as I can do push ups easily I am waiting for that day 😅
I sweat just by watching those vids ;)

What is this movement called? 0:13 going from front lever to that other position
Frontlever to Backlever
@calimove you personally replying means alot! Thankyou, Subbed ❤️. This exercise seems like the perfect progression to shoulder dislocations (with a bar/stick) adding strength component to the mobility benefits.. 😁
I am curious, what part of the world is that beach calisthenics park? I really want to go there lol.
Algarve, Portugal
I wish we had anything like it near me!
I train my core 4 times a week in this way:
Day 1: I train my lower back and obliques with 4 exercises
Day 2: I train my lower and upper abs with 4 exercises as well
I rest one day and then repeat for another 2 days Is it possible to continue this?
YOU PROMISE A APP SINCE 2019
In the sets and reps type, I guess the amount of reps must be over 25? 35?
I'd say about 15 could be a good starting point. But the more the better for that
Bro please make a video on how to stretch the body after workout or recover from muscle soreness..
Tip I would love to be given years ago, get a Weighted vest to do basics. Train strict exercises & explosive with it, like the Crossfiters (except kipping Pullups), don't neglect resistance & cardio training. The athletic body can run and jump and do explosive things
I thought there was 3. Regular, weighted and freestyle/street
Jesus. You don't shy away from showing some pretty horrendous accidents.
I guess we are well warned...
Will you ever created a programme to achieve a muscle up ? While maintaining your progress
Can you try Gimbarr
Terimakasih
First! Happy Friday!
If somehow in this world this comment gets noticed by people i will do 1 pseudo planche push up for every like
Y'all forgot the OG of calisthenics, Indian (even Persian) calisthenics
OG Calisthenics is from Old Greece, hence the name. Body weight exercises themselves predate any nation, probably even homo sapiens.

Sir i have a question, doing weighted calesthenics can improve our skill?💗🥹
If you choose the right exercise to have a carry over effect - yes
