I moved to calisthenic recently after dealing with lower back issues repeatedly for years while doing weights… I find that my body is becoming more efficient as an entire unit rather than being just strong on very specific motion I have a whole lot more respect for calisthenics now and I have been missing out my entire life. My body can take much more intensity with calisthenics since there are no weights but my own and it’s not wearing down my lower back at all Really happy with this style of training especially to help accommodate my conditions
Great to see how calisthenics has carryover to other sportdisciplines whilst other disciplines don't really have that same carryover to calisthenics. Nice video, keep up the good work🙏
@@Ghajahha as a trainer of both. I can say that just doing lat pull down won't help so much as u think with pull ups. With pull ups you are also using your core strength to keep your whole body stable. I often find my abs hurt after a serious session of pull ups. Also I have a friend who can out lift me in pull downs. But I out rep him in pull ups.
@@againstall4agsandtrans511 Yh, and I guess how much you weigh matters as well , but surely getting stronger overall at the gym should help you at calisthrnthics, what about doing decline bench press to improve on dips?
@@Ghajahha A friend of mine trained only with lat pull downs for half a year and still wasn't able to do a pull up. I started training specifically for pull ups plus the lat pull downs and got my first pull up in 3 weeks

@@MuriMuriprisoner from my experience low reps but higher set with enough rest is they key, I only Pull-Up Twice a week but could do 10-20 sets each days
@@dchaba154 don't even worry about max reps in the typical way that might allow you to do even 100. Make sure you are doing a fully controlled and not too fast movement up and also down, fight gravity for control on the way down just as on the way up. Hang at full extension every rep, you can even un-grip for a second if you want, just to ensure you are doing full, controlled pull ups all the way down and all the way up. If you can't do such a perfect, controlled, and complete pull-up, give yourself up to 5 minutes rest. If you want bigger results, try a couple with like 30lbs weight before you can't anymore and then switch back to body weight. Even after maxing out with extra weight, your body weight will feel like nothing for the first few reps without the extra weight. If you are going for typical max reps, you have to avoid most of this, but that makes for a weaker and stranger exercise optimized to get to a high number for whatever reason. I mean I'm all for doing 100-200 pull ups in a session, but doing them with perfect controlled form makes it a much harder and more complete exercise. Also don't just do overhand pullups, do all sorts of stuff.
I think the most useful thing that comes from proper powerlifting practice is technique: you learn how to lift weights (especially heavy ones) without hurting yourself. Look at the bench press at the beginning and after tips: you don't just have to bench press, you have to use your whole body and, if you want to achieve the most, especially your feet.
I’m so glad someone did this challenge!!! I hope more people that do free weight training show more respect to the calisthenics discipline!! Even if some calisthenic athletes do you have “chicken legs” 🤣🤣 great video and content as always! 🔥🔥💯👌🏽
@@andrystrong1 it’s insane! I know people that have lifted free weights for years and haven’t even come close to this level of strength. It is very motivational for other calisthenic athletes!! I’m next 💪🏽💪🏽 stay strong my friend 💯🙏🏽
@@official_mawdur You've made something wrong if you can't squat 140 or lift 180 after years of training. However his bench press is good because of all the weighted dips, pushups etc. That's not a hate, he's a absolute beast in calisthenix tho.
@@jakscho9527 For some reason the youtube translator added "pounds" to the numbers in your comment... However, it all depends on your training goals and your own weight. For me, with my 60 kg and never even tried to do it, squatting at 140 kg is like jumping over my own head)
Just shows how empty this chicken legs expression is. It only references appearance and not strength. Which is let's admit, very superficial. Not to mention you have millions of kids who think that if you don''t have thick legs, you are skipping leg day (even if you are super strong, you can slam dunk, you can sprint superfast, etc). All that does not matter, you just have to look "thick".
I consider Pistol squats and tempo squats as part of calisthenics, I am surprised these aren't incorporated in your routine ! Legs should always be trained ! Thanks for this video. It shows that Calisthenics is really effective 👍
What I'd do to train with Anatoly just once. That guy has the physique I'd love to go for! His channel really motivated me to get to working out again, I'm nearing my 40s and I've been doing 3x a week Les Mills Bodypump (low weights, many sets, high reps) for about a year now to get into some basic shape (I was a potato) and now I feel ready to do the proper lifting 🤩
I remember going to the gym for the 1st time with a mate after the only training I do was mid level calisthenics and rock climbing/bouldering. I was able to do 90kg bench, 200kg deadlift and 120kg squat. I impressed myself, but I also outlifted my mate in dead lift with barely any use in my legs which was funny. Maybe cali and climbing combined builds strong af backs
Crazy how Anatolis body language and demenor changes when he is speaking his mother tongue crazy when you feel confident in your speech and how different you start to act and behave
You are such a cool guy! Love to watch your videos! And dude, you are strong as fk, can't even care for your chicken legs when you can endure so much weight in those exercises. Keep up the good work! Cheers from Brazil! 🙏
Nice to know, with good practice of calisthenics one can be really strong! Besides one can do it till old age, whereas lifting weight could start to become a challenge. Chapeau guys 🙃
I consider myself "Strong", been powerlifting and Strongman training for 30 years. After some injuries and a chronic state of soreness, tightness, stiffness and just feeling like a water buffalo at 270 lbs I have started Calisthenics training...............I am NOT as strong as I thought, I am completely gutted at how poorly I can move my own bodyweight, I am humbled to my core. I will not quit however, just after 2 weeks of laying off the heavy weights and doing calisthenics I am feeling more lively than ever. Im also stretching and working on mobility daily so im sure that helps. I just feel like my vitality is going up.
at the end of the summer I was 178cm and 76kg , i could do 130kg bench press. I dont take any kind of supplements or hormons. after seeing antoly's videos i knew that i was a beast without knowing
This is interesting! I mean I am not even a quarter that trained as you, but I did “easy” calisthenics all my life and can do even some advanced exercises, but then I tried CrossFit recently and I just hated that trading with that barbell. It’s something totally different then Training with you own body weight.
Anatoly is so smart by talking a foreign language he will make any one watches the video confused a little bit so he will to to Anatoly channel to understand then subscribe to his program.
Definitely expecting a high level calisthenics athletic to be able to lift a much higher weight than the average lifter of his body weight. Just training the nervous system and core so much to the point where you will be much stronger overall. Due to back issues I have had to give up weight lifting altogether and focus on body weight exercises or cardio. My weight has dipped around 20lbs after a couple months but feeling a lot less pain and overall healthier
It crazy how much those "chicken legs" can lift! Especially that you are not even trained in these lifts. I train specifically for these lifts and you are lifting much heavier than me. I would have expected to you have a strong bench for sure but the squat and the deadlift were a big surprise to me! Good job bro!
Those are not just impressive , those are elite level athlete stats. Of course a powerlifter would be much stronger in pure numbers but coming from another sport and doing these numbers is astonishing. Know many....many calisthenics athletes and friends and almost none can lift this much specially in dead lift.
Andry you said you had some issue with bicep tendon in the past. Can you share some information on how you recovered and what did you do in particular to make it stronger and train again ?
So I am a very short guy with a large build, in that I have very broad shoulders, large chest, and have have always been very heavy for my height. That had been a combination of very overweight combined with medical conditions, but recently have trimmed down over 30kgs, and nearly as light as I was in high school, but what I would like your advice on, is how does a short broad shouldered and generally muscly person adjust towards callisthenics? For context, I am 5’6” and am now 87kgs compared to 118kgs a few years ago…. Oh and I used to bench press 120kg, and leg press 450kg when I was in my early twenties…. That was 20 years ago!
блин, какой же все-таки Владимир сильный. когда смотришь его пранки вообще не замечаешь, насколько сильным нужно быть, чтобы тягать такие веса. это просто мощь
People are so stupid questioning everything about Vladimir Shmondenko (Anatoly) for not looking his background and he is born in Ukraine . Its not their mind are blind Is their heart - Ego cleaner 😎
Hi, nice video. Just to have a clear picture, how often do you train with barbell/dumbbells. I mean not recently, but overall. Hard to imagine this results with no weight training experience.
It looks like next to nothing, considering he had to teach him form on every lift. And it checks out, calisthenic athletes have a lot of pushing power, but not much leg strength.
