Get a like for making me laugh
🤣🤣🤣 u was goin that damn hard
gains 😤😤😤
Too funny man
Calisthenics is so legit I have mad respect for those guys
You should take a look at gymnast,
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.
Mamba Out It’s not cap it’s science. You need enough resistance to build muscle.
D J Lmao right? Like you might build some muscle at first but not as you become more advanced. Also I don’t think anyone who calls other people “bots” has big arms 😂.
@@drej1934 as long as you fatigue your muscles, it will build muscles. You're that one narrow minded people that "OoO 1-5 Reps are just Building Strength, it will not build Muscle" Pure nonsense, Muscle don't count reps bruh
But the most important rule is: NEVER skip leg day.
nah. fuck leg day
true fuck leg day
@@jeko622 fuck all the dudes with big upper body's and skinny legs. leg day is some real shit!!
go skate or play football/soccer
Good thing I used to skate a lot but at least 2 days of leg day lmao

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.
You probably thought that because that was the title of the video
I thought the same thing lol......glad its not
It's not even a matter of interpretation. The title is literally clickbait
a more direct title would've been "Why you are not building muscle with calisthenics".
Once you see it like that it kinda makes sense, but yeah, it was a lame attempt to attract other types of viewers
@MHNK77 You're right muchacho! It was so wrong of me to use a title that would get more clicks, so I can deliver useful information to others. Im such an evil asshole

Honestly bro - I think everybody needed this. Everybody is getting jacked as shit!
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.
the extra calories should not consist of protein ? just healthy food in general ?
@@omnisplash1736 99% of the time those surplus or deficit calories are carbs while protein and fats being constant or a very slight change if you have to do so

It’s already 4 times more. He does really good job. I stumbled upon his channel today and learned so much from his vids
Him : you can't build muscle with calisthenics..
Him again: heres how you build muscle with calisthenics...
He actually means "you cant build muscle with calisthenics when you do this..."
Bro he's saying why "YOURE not building muscle with calisthenics" meaning a lot of people aren't, so here's how.
He didn't say u can't
He said why u can't like giving u the wrong things u might be doing that r preventing u from etc...
I also got it wrong at the beginning
@@nickshey7347 a
it's basically clickbait
Intensity: make sure it’s hard!
Rep range: 5-15
Macros:
Progressive overload:
Consistency each week:
Volume: 40-70 reps per body part,
2/3 times a week,
Ok so how can i do 40-70 reps per body part if i do upper body workout ??
That's a lot of intensity and will take 1-2 hours too
@@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.
I dont get how it says 5-15 rep range but then 40 - 70 per body part
@@iridiculous8662 it is possible if we do compound movements like pushups work chest shoulder triceps pike pushups train shoulder and triceps
Australian pulls train back and biceps
In that case we can train 40-70 reps with 5-15 reps per exercise
It took me a while to understand but this is it and it's perfect
@@iridiculous8662 5-15 per set, 40-70 per routine. So 4 sets of 12 pushups for arms, chest. 3 sets of 15 squats for legs, and for back if you are unable to do 10 chin-ups/pull-ups I would half that number until you can so 4 sets of 5. Increase total reps as you get stronger. Aim for at least +1 rep per set each week.

Not clickbaitish enough
@Man Like B right cuz the title is a blatant lie.
Neurtalized Do you people seriously not understand that the entire point of the title and thumbnail is to get you to click? This is literally how UA-camrs make their living. If you're intentionally making your title something less clickable as a UA-camr, you're a fucking idiot. 🤷🏾♂️

You literally the first person in my 4yrs of weight training that gave a structured, easy to understand introduction. I subbed
*fill a backpack with used textbooks, workout with said books in bag for your physical gains, then read the books for your mental gains*
Ye😉
An all round workout plan.
YOu a genius.
Great info on this one. I have been doing Calisthenics for a year now. I lost tons of weight but like you said in the video, shit was getting too easy. I wasn't seeing gains and it was starting to depress me a little. I prefer working out alone, not a gym guy. Appreciate all this information dude. Opened my eyes to those Rings too, probably going to try them.
You surely can get muscle mass from calisthenics! Great video man
My man knows the truth
Probably beacuse you are hitting so many stabilizer muscles that are hard to hit with just weights alone. Plus we are designed to move our own bodies, so training with calisthenics feels very primal.
@@Taophysique Yes! Completely agree! You have a more functional way of training and you don't need to separate one part of the body from the other, you can just use movements that will work everything and bring you pure strength!
Yes, with *progressive* *overload* . If that's not in place(whether it involves weights or calisthenics)....you'll either gain muscle mass that's far below your true potential, or you won't make any gains at all.
@Skull Full I believe you can build with calisthenics anyway! Note that I'm not comparing the amount of gains with weighted!
When he spoke about nutrition being material for the blueprint for your workout I immediately subbed :D
In my 50s sir, a tad above scrawney.
Have been watching many fitness videos to see what could match my needs.
Not looking to bulk up, just go the athletic, toned look.
You broke this down simply without being convoluted.
Very much appreciate it, thank you.
I feel like calisthenics should be the first step for everybody to build a good foundation and get some strength in smaller muscles before blowing out a joint trying to bench etc, the light weight will still be sufficient, and for heavier people youre still getting some good resistance but youll have to start adding weights or hitting the gym sooner or later lol
First impression: useful food for thought, very comedic, and entertaining
Great video. Actually says all the real facts and the truth. Im a bodybuilder and the same principles apply to us. Using bodyweight is the same as using weights if you use your body properly
Wow, the way you broke that down man was so good. Makes it all much more easier to understand in terms of what you need to do. Gold!
You have this absolutely amazing vibe when you are talking. This calmness - I do not know how to call it.
Thanks for actually sharing legit info, and no cookie cutter BS. You got my support bro
No problemo
If i ever get to finish an "easy" session from Chris Heria, i will definitely listen to your advice
no shit

Thank you, Tao. I genuinely like the combination of humour and detail you have put into the explanation. It really makes the video worth rewatching and learning from every time I see it. Keep going!
Thanks, Tao. Extremely helpful, especially with everyone working out from home on lockdown right now

I really like your videos! Trained over 5 years in a gym with regular training (bench press and so on). Now I switched to Calisthenics, just because it's just feeling better and you're more training your stability. Subscribed to your channel!
Greetings from Germany!
I always wondered why my trainer gives me new exercises to do every week, this explains everything. Thanks for the info.
This video is NEAT. Thx from France.
I just started watching your videos last night and I can say that these videos are very informative and entertaining as well. I am really interested in doing these workouts, but now I'm still recovering from a back injury. Your videos really made me interested in doing calisthenics workouts.
Dude I've learnt more watching 3 of your videos than years of other fitness/training videos. Amazing work.
Guys who mainly do calisthenics possess true strength and have the best physiques imo .
They usually have the, what I like to call, Fighter build.
Yeah, look at 20 yo Mike Tyson. No weights involved
olympic weightlifting builds great body too
BBOYS have greater strength than anyone else in the world and they hardly have dream physiques, they're in shape tho.
@@audd4889 Who said that?
I missed ya muchacho! Great video by the way! Very informative 🤙🏻💪🏻
Ty for putting out the chill vibe man too many of these videos the guy is all hyped and overintense about it
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.
Great analogy. Food are the materials and working out is the blue print.
How about food is materials and working out is labor. If you don't have the labor then you just have pile of bricks = fat. If you only have the labor your house will be fancier but not bigger
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.
Me: can't even do a single push up
Wow, look at this *demi god*
I was in that position 13 days ago. Been doing 100 angled 'pushups' against my bathtub (it's easier the closer you are to being upright, so it's a great beginner exercise) and have now moved on to regular pushups, able to do just about 9 in a row
Most people start at zero. You'll be doing 500 in no time.
@@VantaBay how many now?

This guy is a legend ... so funny with such a smooth style... and the content is ON POINT MUCHACHOS
very impressed with your one arm pull ups and pressups, and your jokes make me laugh, good work mate
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.
Brooooooo
Thats some serious great advice !!
I don't wanna lose my 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.
