When You Overthink Calisthenics...
Вставка

- Today I will tell you a bit about overthinking - one of the biggest trap calisthenics athletes (and not only) can fall into. The paralysis of analysis is the term probably first time being used in 1970’s in one of The Times articles. However the essence of the overanalyzing problem has been expressed many times before even in the Antique era. The Fox and the Cat fable illustrates the paradox of having too many options. No matter where you are on your bodyweight journey, its hard not to overthink our choices to some degree. There are so many choices, so many skills to achieve... planche, handstand, frontlever... then 10 possible exercises for them. We live in a world of unlimited dose of information. Fitness became a mainstream genre available for almost everyone. The new exercises, routines, methods are bombarding us across every social media platform from the moment we wake up, till we go to sleep. And its not to say it's something bad, at the end of the day knowledge is a huge power (knowledge). And to become best possible athletes we should always educate, expand horizons and challenge our current beliefs. However, there is also the other end of the spectrum. Too many ideas, too much information can create unnecessary noise and confusion that can sometimes be literally paralysing.
I used some ideas Barry Schwartz expressed in his book "The Paradox of Choice" if you have not i highly recommend to take a look at it. The concept of Maximizer vs Satisficer and overthinking is something we can really apply to training with success. I also used photos of following street workout athletes - Hannibal for king, Zef Zakaveli, Lord Vital, Dennis Minin, N1K, Victor Kamenov.

Overthinking is the biggest trap in pretty much everything in life.
So true fam!
Hehe love the profile pic there bro 😅
@@weshallneversurrender go green lol!
What is/was your profile pic about?
For me it's even more problematic in programming than in calisthenics
Never overthought a video as much... enjoy 😆

Hahaha good one 😅😅 I've suffered from this too, but lately I had a revelation around the importance of training in my life and how it is not the be all and end all. So I've been so much more chilled about my training and so far it's been really liberating. I feel like it's going to be able to help me achieve my calisthenics goals a lot easier.
Man this revelation... something so important. Lately had it too and it made me do this video actually. Thank you once again
this is probably the most relatable fitness video I've ever seen
Man thats awesome! I wanted to visualize this problem lots of us struggle with on out journey!
This affects every part of my life. Especially when you are good at a lot of things it's hard to decide what to do. Maths, engineering, programming, art, graphics, dancing, calisthenics, music. I have an often paralysed by all the avenues I have to persue. I find it much easier when I have a few thingz to focus e.g. I have an event competition or exam coming up. The greatest struggle of being a jack of all trades.
Dont worry. The consistency of my videos is result of same thing and exact same problems&struggles. Im a student, business owner and coach, working as an editor part time, training and all that does not let me focus heavily on one thing. So i totally know the struggle brother
Why dont you have more subs youtube's algorithm sucks hard 😭😭😭
Appreciate your words ;)
@@FrinksmovementTV thanks:)
Hahaha, the biggest trap in calisthenics is the one on Dejan Stipke's back 😂 jokes aside, another great video bro. I really like the way you analyze calisthenics topics, truly a source of value here on UA-cam amidst a sea of commercial, generic calisthenics content for the masses.
Thank you brother!. Lets spread it out ;)
Dude, I was actually shocked when I looked at your sub count! It's like I am watching videos from a channel with half a million subs. The quality is very high man!
Haha thank you brother! Well, glad that you think so ;)
Bob wont find the perfect routine but maybe this is the best channel
Jesus, this is so spot on. FL is my favourite static skills of all time, previously I did lots of different exercises like hold/raise/row/IC/LsitPU/weightedPU/bandassisted/DFlag and much more in single FL session, overthink too much with my workout and eventually got burned out from it with no improvement.
Now i started my first job after graduation, with my mind occupied mostly at work, i "reprogrammed" my FL workout just with 3x FL raise 3x FL row and eventually my FL improved faster than before without overthinking it.
Damn thats the story I love to hear. Its so relatable, glad you figured this stuff out ;)
Forums and youtube have like 987218476 information/tutorial/guide/progression on how to achieve/master a skills. They will tell you to do this, do that, follow this, follow that (they are correct because they are advance athlete sharing their previous experience).
What really matters is depends on how fast the individual able to find the root cause of causing the plateau in their progression (every beginner/intermediate will face plateau in their training i believe).
Overthinking with unnecessary sets and overtraining was my issue back then, i literally ditch most of the workout sets (including static hold, since it taxes my CNS heavily) and focus on main 2, FL raises that involves eccentric and concentric, and FL row that strengthen the lats. Occasionally checking my hold time and it got improved surprisingly.
Fantastic man. And its so spot on
Just the right video for me at the right time..
Very nice job my friend!!
Simply the best calisthenics channel, no doubt!
Wow, thanks! 🖤🙏🏻
Lacks subs
Such a great video as always, keep it going 💪🏼
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the support!
This is very valuable content! Thanks!
You are the best bro. Thank you very much for this information.
🖤 Thank you
As always, very informative and interesting! Love the way you edit your videos!
Thank you very much! Im glad you enjoy my style ;)
Great video!! This was really needed man. The bodyweight/calisthenics community is extremely over saturated with information as it is becoming more and more popular. This is the type of video I wish I could have watched a few years ago when I was first starting training. Impressive editing skills bro!!
Man thats so fantastic to hear. Thank you 🙏🏻
How did you deal with this
This was the wisest tip I've ever heard. Definitely reading that book, too. I like how the channel has a very different approach to calisthenics
loved the editing!! very creative! good work bro! interesting topic !
Thank you so much 🙂
Bro that's gold, i wish success for you channel and content.
I appreciate it!
I respect the effort you have put into creating this type of videos. Subscribed.
Much appreciated! Thank you
Hey man just wanted to let you know. I've just watched every video you've made about how to create a program (the 5 video series on your channel). And then this one. Which might be (and should be) the end of the series as it gives everything we need at the end of the story.
Thanks for all the information. Thanks for your awesome work, I mean it's really complete and well documented, and we visualize things with clear and comprehensive examples every time. All of this is just to remind us that we shouldn't overthink. It's pure genius. And as it is, keep up with the good work and I wish you the best in life.
Great video, production quality is top! 🔥
I can really relate to this. The times I've made the most progress, I was not overthinking my training, but I was sleeping well, my life was not very stressful and I was sticking to a sustainable training program :-)
Thank you! And so true brother!
Really great video 👍🏻
Thank you! ;)
One of the most interesting episodes !!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Amazing how bright you are!
Really good video! I've started with callisthenics multiple times already and what always made me give up after a month was just being burned out from doing all the research and trying to perfect a routine, making me not want to do anything anymore because it wasn't maximum effenciency. Now i've gone into it with a completely different mindset, focusing on satisficing instead and i've been concistent for 4 months, made alot more progress and it's become so much more fun aswell!
It is great to see a new face in the 'in-depth technical disscussion' side of calisthenics, love the style and clarity of your videos, please keep it up man!
I appreciate that so much! Thank you!
Nice video ! Great editing skills
Thanks! 🙏🏻
awesome video as always and just what i needed! what a great production! agree with everything, this was an eyeopener for me, as you know im one of those overthinkers 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍 Thank you!
So damn true man, you couldn't do a better explaination of this topic. Every calisthenics athletes nowadays will recognize themself into this video. Your editing is really improving ! Soon 1k subscriber, it's explosing !
Thank you brother so much! Waiting for you to surpass me again Alex! Your consistency will pay off 👍
This is so me!!!! Totally identified by it. Specially now, while trying to figure out the most optimal approach to the OAP
Feel your pain. Btw, the video on OAP is preparing ;)
For real bro your videos are amazing if you keep like this yous re going to be own do the top channels in UA-cam
I appreciate that!
Man this is great and relatable. And true.
It's just the nature of the activity. There's some many paths for even learning pullups, it's inevitable to get a burning from learning.
So true man.. so true
Why do you only have few subscribers? This channel is awesome!! 🔥
Great video bro
the quality of this channel god damn
Hey, You're cool man. Good video. Genuine help for those trying to make progress. The TED talk was a good one. I watched that a few months ago. 👍 😎
Yeah it was really inspiring! Oh and thank you, new stuff coming up on the channel very soon ;)
This was incredible, by far your best piece until this point. There's not much to say man, this to me is possibly the most useful bodyweight/cali/gymnastics mindset video. A must watch if you want to get at a serious level in this game. I remember how we used to talk about the necessity of having someone like Zack Telander in the bw community and man, it makes me damn proud to see that you're becoming that figure.
My god thank you my bro. These words truly make me want to continue 🙏🏻
Damn i never thought that other people got this paradox just like me. I'm still in that paradox, just for L-Sit i watched like 50+ videos everytime i watched a video i got confused more and more.. and end of the week i stopped training for it because it became TOO complicated on my mind.
Good video man!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate it ;)
Awesome Video! Helped my a lot toncalm down.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you! I've been trying to make the perfect program to make gains as efficient and effective as possible for a week now, my brain is absolutely fried, I'll just make things simple.
I just discovered your channel and wow ... the quality of your content is amazing! Of course I got subscribed. Thanks for this video, overthinking about my training It's a reality and knowing that I don't need to find something such a "perfect programm" It's quite tranquilizer.
I'm a spanish native speaker but isn't too hard to understand the main ideas 😆
By the way, I like so much your edit style! Which programm do you use?
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it ;) So I use Hitfilm and Adobe AE. Using Gimp for images, rarely PS. Hope it helps ;)
Nice video mate
Thanks!
This is so true!
Oh man, I'm falling in love with your content! Fucking amezing!
This one just hit me, I was just before watching this, doing this overthinking thing... Luckly I've been doing the things I've to do, I didn't not train because of overthinking, and neither hop programs... My case: I've stick to a specific 2 years program, and I'm very very consistent, I try to learn, and always I liked so much how my program is programmed. But now, I'm a few months close to finish that program, and I was OVERTHINKING LIKE CRAZY, what to do after it... my options were like: start a new program (buy a new one, like a program that you sell), start again the same program (like re-doing the phases), etc.
But this makes me feel more relax now, be more confident in that I'm putting effort in it, and maybe it's not perfect, but it is good enough :)
My plan for now is: to re-do my same program, and maybe add some extra sessions of strenght only workouts. I'm just calculation how much to add, to not overtrain, to have enough recovery.
Well, I just found this video and was like gold for me. Thanks for all your content, really entretaining, informative, creative, amazing! Love you man!
Salutations from Argentina, your new (past 2-3 months watching a lot of your old videos) follower and fan,
Pablo Beyersdorf
Thank you Pablo, I really appreciate your words and your support. If there is anything I can help you with let me know!
Man your videos are top notch! What editing program are you using ?
I think it's Adobe Jo
Another Awesome video bro🔥 Keep up the hard work...here before 1k subs...wait no...1mil subs😀
Yeah brother! Lets do that 1K 🙏🏻 Thank you
Cool video 👌
Underrated channel
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
wow I needed to watch this
I want more videos like this
So interesting broo🧡🧡🧡🧡
Glad you enjoyed thank you so much! Thats my favorite video and also the one that took the most time to make. Thats why I love when someone is watching/commenting under this :)
Bob is my spirit animal
That was the video I want I am suffering from overthinking from the last 1 year
Glad it could be somehow relatable 🙏🏻
Dang, I really like this video and I think this topic needs to be discussed more, not just with calisthenics, but with just general hypertrophy or powerlifting training. Not sure if you’re familiar with him, but Jeff nippard I think is an example of this over analytical approach to training. He’s got great training advice and knowledge, and I agree with him on so much, but he’s not the guy to go to if you’re a beginner, all of his information being thrown at a beginner like I was when I found him only threw me off course rather than guiding me. I love Jeff so don’t get me wrong, but I feel as though Greg doucette and the massive popularity he has received is really a reaction to this hyper analytical training that some guys like Jeff have been pushing for. Just my little tangent
It's finally out!!! Goodjob brother❤️ So excited to watch it!
Was great to talk to you about the subject. Hope you doin fine brother!
@@FrinksmovementTV just finished watching this and even tho we already discussed this I still felt like you made a piece of art here! Thanks for the work! We should talk again soon!
Also feel free to use my video from my ig!
Anytime brother. We can record it this time ;)
@@FrinksmovementTV we should just msg me on IG so we can set a date!
@@SanderJanssenBSc 👍
Great video bro!! (I'm about to overthink this comment 😅) Yeah there is a flood of information online. Some people can achieve their goals with the bare minimum of training tactics, while others need all the exercise specificity, progression schemes, and periodization to achieve there's. In the end yes hard work and consistency over time gets results. Some people trained hard and experimented for years to get there results, others have the privilege to train smarter and potentially get there much faster, so long as their genetics don't hold them back. Basically there's 4 types of people:
1)Great genetics + hard work = results
2)Great genetics + smart training = super results
3)Suboptimal genetics + only hard work = takes forever for results
4) Suboptimal genetics + smart training = good results
Wow never thought of it this way. Thank you Cameron for expressing your view on the topic. The 4 types of people seems to be really interesting. Now the point of the video is - smart training so called - can make us not train hard. If smart training finishes on paper then it will bring 0 results :D yest thats exactly what the story of Bob and represents - changing approach constantly will also do the same thing, So, smart training PLUS hard training is what gives results. But if i had to choose one I would pick hard. Of course, what these terms even mean?, its hard to access. So we can only speculate and leave a lot of reserve. Take care brother, glad you enjoyed the video ;)
Amazing
i love the history mentioned in this video.
Your videos are becoming more and more informative.
What's next? Mechanic of Finger Strength training? I guess so :)
Hahah, Planning on doing the calisthenics programming episode 4
Yo, I wanna say something.
I've literally done this and am still doing this, but I actually CANNOT _(and yes, I have every single excuse possible)_ train because of equipment and emplacement issues. So, if you can't, feel free to do your research.
This happens when it comes to starting a business you start overthinking about the steps to starting a business
Brilliant
The great thing in training is it only matters what you do, not what you think. Minding about it is just a sign you are highly motivated.
True!
I think I liked video, until the end.
As I agree that overthinking is absolutely worst and paralysis you get makes your life real hell when you try to achieve something.
But with Calisthenics precisely I think there is more to that.
I have seen many "beginner" calisthenics videos. And I was confused, but then I started analyzing and not overthinking to figure out why I did overthink it. Because its not possible I can be only person on earth that takes nothing out of all these videos.
So just for the context, I am heavy person 100kg/170cm, with sedentary lifestyle. I have no previous sport experience, and when I say no - literally mean no experience. So when I wanted to start calisthenics, it is literal hell.
The overthinking part in Calisthenics for me came from the fact that all those videos are all aimed at people with:
-any previous experience in fitness/ sport/ anything related to exercises.
-expectation to know what they wanna achieve when they live in this community for split second. [For example me -I just wanna be healthy. I dont wanna have huge muscles, or even some specific muscles. I just wanna be in better shape, which rather seems to be absolute crime in this community. ]
-capability to make many things from the beginning. Like: normal pushups, pull ups, dips etc.
-investing from scratch, pouring money into rings, bars. bands, when you just wanna try that sport if it fits and all options without them are rather too hard.
And you are trying to find something that works for you. And everything is trying to be "helpful" and "guide you." But then you realize that you cannot do any of those exercises, or you just cannot wrap your head around it, you cannot do any of those routines, even they are marked as absolute beginner or beginner. You are getting winded up for this "short and easy" warm up.
So naturally you wonder - why can't I do that? And then you are trying to overthink and overanalyze - because how come 99% of other people can do all of that and you can't?
And everything spirals down just like in a video.
In my perspective - I wanted to know what I am doing in general, not to master it but not just "accept information" just like that and have any idea what is happening and what is tried to be told to me. My knowledge and understanding was not even knowing what series and reps are. So I was beginner not only in calisthenics but also in fitness.
So naturally I wanted to start from beginner videos, which would explain to me like a beginner what is what and how everything works, but because of things as listed above, expected and wanted me to know myself, what I want or what should I be capable of.
Which makes you scroll for million of videos that are for "absolute beginners" and they really are not, so you just overthinking yourself, about what is wrong with you and what is wrong with them.
And you hear that "everything is so customable" but then you get to the point those videos are telling most general things that are not telling you as a person much or super specific stuff, that does not apply to you at all.
Those videos are never talking from top to bottom, they are saying.
And in the end you are giving some fast general sentence that is not meaning much to me. Just a bunch of words that routes you back to overthinking or overanalyzing things. Or at least they do for me. And I know the best advise for overthinking is just not to overthink. But the way you said it not helping.
That intro reminds me of the pursuit of wonder
0:20 There is only 1 simple question on Bobs mind.... When will I become Captain America?
Nice man
Thanks!
Jesus this is such a good channel! And this video covers exactly the problem I have been dealing with the past week! Why didn't I find you earlier. Damn!
Fantastic to hear! Thank you :) New video incoming ;)
8:20 be the absolute best satisficer
nice vid
Thanks ;)
Lol did you get the pursuit of wonder to narrate the beginning?
Man this is great! And I thnik this is why I'm not making as much progress as I want. For example in HSPU one side is saying do chest to wall HSPU back to wall is BS. Another say back to wall is good for brute strength and arching is not a big problem. So I decide to train back to wall until I will hit full ROM back to wall HSPU and then when I will have more strength I will switch to chest to wall. I do this mistake often in last 6 months I switch from ugly chest to wall to freestanding negatives, then again to ugly chest to wall and now I decide to stick with back to wall and build that strength.
Man yeah exactly! You gotta stick with one thing, at least for some time. Anyways brother i hope you are more self aware now and wont make this mistake again
@@FrinksmovementTV when I will overthink and analyse I will return to this video 😏🙏
Yeah! Haha so hopefully NOT see you again here ;)
the strongest sign of overthinking calisthenics is making a video about it
NIce
Man litteraly Im writting about muscle fiber taining good or bad, and its a lot. But tring to learn some things not to change my traing but to learn.
Man thats exactly what it takes! Learn as much as you can, while being consistent with your training 🙏🏻 Keep up your writing pretty interesting subject
So what we should do?
Just Pick up the program and stick to it is the Answer??
I have a PhD on overthinking!!!! Hahahha
Hahaha 😂 unfortunatelly same here.
I never had that problem i just train and thats it i mean if i just want to increase reps in dips just do dips if i want front lever i just do negatives this always works for me i just go it while other people is like hard work vs smart work im like just work with consistency (and of course little knoleadge in the fundamentals for example the fact that the progress is just adaptations of your body in order tho be able to perform better the in the next session of training)
Sorry for my horrible english is not something to be proud xd
Your english is just fine ;) Well, good for you mate its really the problem in cali community so glad you dont have it. keep it up ;)
@@FrinksmovementTV thanks your videos are really good
@@user-nf4qd8wr1u Thank you!!
At the begin of the video i was like: MEEEEE IT IS MEEE
By watching video about overthinking calisthenics i'm overthinking calisthenics.
I'm in a recursion, help.
Hi, I'm Bob.
Try to be better not the best and consistency comes only if you love the way you train and so i must say work the way you love not the way that will make you the best and even a best fact is that if you work the way you love then you will surely be the best in that way 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Peace ✌✌
And it's just that easy don't get confused 🙏🏻😃
Feel free to dm on Instagram if you are still confused 🙏🏻😇
Have a nice day 🙏🏻😇
Paradoksalnie najwięcej złego w świecie kalisteniki/street workout'u zrobili tacy ludzie jak Barstarzz i ich słynne "rutynki", Bar brothers i ich wszyscy pseudonaśladowcy czy pojedyńcze "gwiazdy" street workoutu którzy niejednokrotnie mieli podłoże gimnastyczne lub ćwiczyli na siłowni wcześniej lub w trakcie nie przyznając się do tego i myląc początkujących. Mam na myśli te treningi w których było milion ćwiczeń na jedną partię często różniących się jedynie wariacją czy splity na 7 dni w tygodniu które proponowali. Czemu paradoksalnie? Bo gdyby nie oni to ten sport może nie byłby tak popularny jak jest obecnie. Wszystko co wymieniłem prowadzi do największego problemu w świecie tego sportu. Do wspominanego w filmie overthinking'u i overanalyzing'u bo chcąc jak najszybciej osiągnąć nasz cel chwytamy się wszystkiego co tylko wpadnie nam w łapy.
Ta wypowiedź celuje w samo sedno 🙏🏻👍 Fajnie zobaczyć Polski komentarz 💪
bruh who allowed you to film me for the opening story🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hahah yeah its quite relatable 😂
Paralysis by overanalysis
Funny how this video is exactly part of the problem
What do you mean?
Overthinking training and all
Why did you stretch your Video to 10+ minutes. Don't be greedy when you're trying to build your channel, money comes later.
This Video could be 9:59 .
Dude... come on... first of all, the channel is not even monetized and is far, far from it. There are no ads in the vid as you can see and last thing i do it for is the money, did not earn a single penny through it. Secondly what difference does it even make for you, for real... even if that was my goal to make money.. would something be wrong about it? I dont sell anything, you lose nothing, its only small reward for creator for his work. And thirdly, no i did not stretched out the video, its natural length. Last part is the end screen that you can find in literally every single video of mine - and is the part of any of them...
@@FrinksmovementTV don't worry bro you are doing a great job, it doesn't matter what you do people will always hate. Even if it's monetized or not people will always hate and of course you need a reward from all these great job you been doing so better monetize it whenever UA-cam allow you😂👍
