Growing up with Social Anxiety. I've found it easier for me to workout within my own place. I completely agree with too much Variations and getting off track but, I find myself short on breath during ANY exercise done outside. I have seen gains, But do Plateau. Still a learning curve for me I guess, but tryed gyms and didn't feel I was working to my full potential.
Love your style, bro simple an clear! Have a problem though. Since i quit doing the deadlifts and doing calisthenics instead i feel like my shoulders getting narrower, know what i mean? You got a piece of advice?
thank you for all the informations that you give us, the question is what is the routine that i stick on it, i mean i need an upper body routine and lower body one,, thanx
What I believe is we crave for complexity is because we believe that the more complex it is, the more muscle growth. I believe that with pull up, push up, dips, squat can build impressive body but still we need to add weights... some sort of weighted calisthenics
The main way i progress myself is wearing a backpack and adding weight eachtime:)... so question Do you ever do muscle ups? Ik I have the strength to do them( I can do 20+ pullups) but for some odd reason I've never been able to do any.
+zng 1996 Muscle ups are another beast entirely, they are built on a foundation of pull ups and dips but you need more wich can be any number of things.
My problem is I want to train each muscle group twice a week as you said in one vid. But I do 6 exercices for each muscle group and it takes time so I end up only doing back or biceps once a week if Im lucky. Is it too much? How many exercices per muscle group would you recommand?
That may be a bit much. Personaly, I only do one, maybe 2 different exercises per muscle group for 2 work sets. Big compound movements have a lot of overlap so you don't need a lot of variety. Try cutting it down to just 1-2 push, pull, squat, flexion and extension moves and see how that feels for ya.
Another issue ive seen with calithenics is trying to train over weight or obese clients. I would really love to train ALL my clients using calithenics but i haven't found out how to make it work for all sizes of people.
Suspension trainers give a lot of versatility and flexibility to adapt to most populations. You can get a similar result with environmental props, like benches and stairs, but trainers a bit more reliable and easier to adjust in many cases.
The No 1 problem with Calisthenics is that you need to be pretty lean to make any kind of meaningful progress. Surprising that all those who preach BW training never really acknowledge this critical flaw.
I actually think it's the opposite. I often tell folks who are overweight that their weight is an asset with calisthenics rather than a liability. It's like when people put on weight vests while doing calisthenics, only you're carrying your own extra weight 24/7. The heavier you are the stronger you get!
@@RedDeltaProject thanks for the reply! Really appreciate it :) I personally have had a problem progressing beyond pull ups, dips and pushups. Have tried variations of pushups, but no kind of L-Sit, tuck planche, handstand variation is possible at 25%+ body fat. Do you think it's worth trying to progress or should I exclusively focus on losing weight?
Thanks for all the info. Read CC yesterday and got your book today. Don't want to lose size coming from bb, but it seems like your able to keep your muscle. Do you still lift at all?
As my traps grow from T Push ups, why is it harder to contract and push down the traps during the exercise? It felt easier when I had no muscle in the traps.
That is curious as it should certainly get easier for sure. Maybe your shoulders are protracted a bit which can make it harder. try working to keep your shoulders back more and see if that helps
還真 3.872. Just kidding. It's not so much how many you do, but rather how focused you can be in your training. Keeping your selection to a few basic moves like push ups and dips will allow you to focus on what matters most.
To build both I suggest circuiting 4-5 strength moves together and doing them one right after another. Check out my video on how to build circuits for building strength and endurance: ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=i2FaaT4fjiY
paras tandon lol herschel walker has incredible genetics and probably lies about his nutrition and training methods (besides being juiced to the gills). never take advice from professional athletes/bodybuilders ;)
onceuponthecross1 great gama? prisoner charlie bronson? ram murthy naidu? fedor also trained only bodyweight , its the bodybuilders tendency to blame genetics for all their failures
paras tandon it's known that gamma swang huge mace-bells and lifted stones and shit besides doing thousands of hindu squats and pushups. fedor also used all kinds of equipment such as sandbags, barbells, prowlers, etc.
onceuponthecross1 gama still spent majority of his time in push ups and squats and that means a lot of time , fedor himself said he stopped using weights after getting into fighting . prisoner charlie bronson is a great example too .
onceuponthecross1 when indian wrestlers toured england , all of them were quicker stronger ,had more gas tank ,endurance,cardio than the guys they faced. imam bux is another example. you can bring in genetics excuse but truth is they did high reps of bodyweight training.charlie bronson was a skinny dude by the way and if you read solitary fitness you will know weights and size are a waste .
RedDeltaProject Ah ok. For me its pretty much only 7pm after work that I can do a workout and on the weekends. Some days I'm too exhausted to do a work out however. I have to do one right now to get my fourth one of my weekly programme done. I'm going to see if I can do it, I haven't got work as an excuse but I played a heavy game of squash earlier so not sure if that will help or not, we'll see.
Hey Matt what you think of changing a program to better fit your goals? Even though initially you set out that program to reach those goals, down the line you found more effective/safer changes that in the long run will make you reach the goal faster. e.g. In my program I train for planche and iron cross, but I found my shoulders to be not so strong, both of these skills rely heavily on shoulders, so I decided it might be a good idea to invest into learning a handstand finally and building shoulder strength that way. Thoughts?
Hey Matt, what calisthenics exercises are you training for right now? I mean, do you have a priorized specific short/middle-term goal related to achieve a certain variation of a exercise? (e.g front lever, V-sit...)
Against Gravity I'm sticking pretty much to the big six from convict conditioning as well as some supplements stuff like grip work and calf raises. I don't have anything of a long term program. Just aiming to get a little better every workout.
RedDeltaProject It would be nice to see some vids about the current step you are working on for each CC exercise, as well as comments on what are your plans to improve in that one and this kind of things you already know to do so good.
I dont why you bothered yourself to spread this video ?! really you think it is neccessary ? for a begginer or even an intermediate a lot of exercise is too little Just eating healthy and doing exercise as much as you can + sleep = Good Body End of story

The plateaus are part of the process, it's funny but you won't be able to improve without hitting a plateau once in a while.
Good reminder. Re-watching your older videos is golden. ✨🙌
Love your style, bro simple an clear! Have a problem though. Since i quit doing the deadlifts and doing calisthenics instead i feel like my shoulders getting narrower, know what i mean? You got a piece of advice?
Weights attached to your body when you do pull ups is an option.
i've found the answer in your video'' how to build the perfect routine " thanx man
thank you for all the informations that you give us, the question is what is the routine that i stick on it, i mean i need an upper body routine and lower body one,, thanx
you are very smart i like how you explain and thas amazing!!!

Good. Good. Good.
You forgot the #1 problem: giving too much shit about it.
Can you please make a video about bodyweight shoulders exersice? And how todo Pike push ups?
You are gold! Thanks

No iron in my program, haven't touched any weights for about 6 years now.

Thanks a lot!
How many exercise for chest is "too much"?

hey matt..what is the name of the app you were talking about ?
+mohamed ibrahem I believe it was called Push Up warrior
what are some calisthenics for endurance and strength?
To build both I suggest circuiting 4-5 strength moves together and doing them one right after another. Check out my video on how to build circuits for building strength and endurance:
ua-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=i2FaaT4fjiY
What they app
Very good!
can you talk about high repetition that goes to thousands of reps? many athletes do that many reps , pehlwans, herschel walker etc

Who does a workout Monday 9am?
That's when I usually have a break between clients. We trainers have an opposite work schedule from most others.
RedDeltaProject Ah ok. For me its pretty much only 7pm after work that I can do a workout and on the weekends. Some days I'm too exhausted to do a work out however.

Yep, always make changes as you see fit. No sense in forcing yourself to stick to a plan that's no longer as good a fit as it could be.
You crave variety? Try yoga & parkour training exercises basically is a calisthenic exercise...& so is martial arts.
Get creative when doing yard work. Turn weed pulling into an exercise program.
Hey Matt, what calisthenics exercises are you training for right now?
I mean, do you have a priorized specific short/middle-term goal related to achieve a certain variation of a exercise? (e.g front lever, V-sit...)

It would be nice to see some vids about the current step you are working on for each CC exercise, as well as comments on what are your plans to improve in that one and this kind of things you already know to do so good.
Against Gravity You got it, I'll make a couple vids this week. Although, it's not so much what I'm working on that matters ;)
RedDeltaProject i would disagree. your focus on control and quality reps is highly motivating ;)
I dont why you bothered yourself to spread this video ?! really you think it is neccessary ? for a begginer or even an intermediate a lot of exercise is too little
Just eating healthy and doing exercise as much as you can + sleep = Good Body
End of story
Why are you watching fitness videos if you already know everything?
