      As a calisthenics enthusiast, I have respect for all the weightlifters out there. Although I don’t believe that calisthenics can make huge bowling ball muscle mass, it can definitely bring on great tone and definition. Though when it comes to what exercises I enjoy, I particularly like to do push-ups, inverted rows, and weighted squats. Which is what I do 3x a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). On Tuesdays and Thursdays though, just some steady-state jogging and walking intervals for active recovery purposes.

    I thought this was going to be another video about a buff dude complaining about how you can't build muscle with calisthenics. Nah that's not the case. I interpreted its wrong it's more like explaining why you don't see gains with calisthenics and here's how to do it with calisthenics.
    2023 edit: wtf did not expect 5k likes. Back then I used to be absolutely scared of the gym cuz it was just way too complicated and I was too shy. I started mostly training calisthenics and slowly incorporating weights 90/10. It wasn’t until I was able to do planche, handstands planche presses etc. that I was confident enough to eventually to go a gym. Surprise turns out I loved the culture. Fitness is more than “which type of fitness is better than the other” MF they all good for us are including CrossFit. We in general all have one common goal which is to be healthy and look good long term. We should be open to trying new things (not the juice) to potentially better ourselves.

    summary:
    - 40-70 reps/bodypart -> do it 2-3 times a week
    - 1 exercise should consist of 5-15 reps. Change the workout if it's outside this range
    this requires some measuring, but if you want to put extra attention about nutrition:
    - consume extra 100-300 kcal/day
    - consume protein 2g/kg body weight.

      @@m4nipbx If time is an issue then you have to look into doing multiple exercises a set with little rest time. Go to example is pullups and pushups. 5 sets 15 of each exercise with a 60-90sec rest between sets. Or squats and an ab workout same thing. And while each body part needs to be worked out make sure to spend some of those sets isolating certain muscles in each part, like the obliques or triceps. But also a workout to get this level of body should be 1-2 hours a day min, maybe more.
      Edit-For the abs go to failure, actually same with pushups and pullups. Just using 15 as an example here.

    The huge benefit I find with calisthenics is how it emphasizes compound muscle movements, giving a well rounded physique through relatively simple workout plans. No shame in adding weights. Nice overview. I would only add sleep. Seems obvious, but people sometimes forget you need to sleep to build muscle and recover.

      Work out routine = blueprint. You can eat right (materials) and put in effort at the gym (labor) but you'll see no results if your routine is lacking the volume and intensity required for muscle growth. You need the right blueprint.

  • @theiriscen
    @theiriscen 2 роки тому +14

    Honetly, the best thing you can do to increase difficulty is to slow down the tempo.
    Muscle growth is all about time under tension (TUT).
    A person can do 3 reps and still see more gains than someone who does 15 reps, simply because he accumulated more TUT. Your body doesn’t know how many reps you are doing, it only registers how long your muscle was under stress.
    Lets take the pushup for example. You may think 15 reps means you accumulating a high TUT, but the truth is at the end of the concentric phase, chances are you are taking a brief rest when your elbows are fully extended. And at this position, the strength-tension curve is really low. So at the end of your set, you may have accumulated just 15 seconds of effective TUT.
    Compare then with a guy doing 3 reps with slow tempo. He may accumulate 25 seconds of TUT simply cuz the reps are slow and controlled.
    Plus doing high and fast reps on bilateral exercises is not ideal anyway. In real life, bilateral movements are use to apply the highest amount of force in one continuous rep, such as pushing a car. The dynamic nature of regular pushup exercises means its better to do a unilateral variation because functional movement is unilateral, such as walking. This will preserve your joints and maintain asymmetrical motor control of your muscles which helps the CNS to send the right signal to your muscles during locomotion.
    Now if you want use regular pushups as a muscles building exercise, better to do it slowly. Cuz again, if you do it fast and cumulate reps, your brain will stop making the distinction between your left and right limb. In essence, the picture of your left and right limb in your brain will become singular since both hands keep firing together. Meaning you will lose serious proprioceptive signalling and end up injuring your self from within. You ever see how baby cant help but move their hands at the same time as their head moves ? Thats cuz they lack asymmetrical motor control.

    I consider myself a bodybuilder. I was once obese, so the weightroom became my second home once I learned how to build my body. I could never do calisthenics since I was always so weak, but I slowly progressed to get better at pullups and dips, etc. I incorporated weighted variations into my training. Now that gyms are closed due to quarantine, I've been shifting my training into more calisthenics based stuff, and man do I miss it. This was one of the most informative videos that came at a much needed time. I'm definitely going to incorporate these tips and continue progressing! Thanks--I subbed.
