Thank you for all your content, Daniel. I'm a 62-year-old beginner, lol. I've spent plenty of time in the gym over my lifetime doing traditional exercises/lifts from the 1980s, but I'd never done calestenics. I started a little over a month ago and haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm just focusing on the basics - push-ups, pull-ups, dips, pistol squats, handstands, and some core stuff like hollow body holds. At first, I was super fatigued, and then I analyzed my daily macros (my goal is 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat). I just wasn't eating enough. I'm feeling great. Much of my chronic pain is dissipating. I've set some simple long-term goals and am working through the progressions to get there by year-end. Who knows, my abs might even show up in another month or two. Thanks again for the content. All the best to you...
I’m over 75. I’ve been lifting 20 of the last 50 years. Recently gained 15 pounds bulking and then lost 10 pounds cutting. However, as I push myself harder and harder for the gainzz, I find that my joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles, and bones are feeling the stress and causing a lot of pain in daily life, often waking me up in the middle of the night with intense muscle pain. Not DOMS. Perhaps calisthenics is the answer?
My rule of thumb with calisthenics is as following: if you feel the targeted muscle and you have no pain you are doing good. The beauty of calisthenics that our progressive overload is also making exercises more aesthetically pleasing, this can take multiple weeks/months/years but overtime you WILL progress, making exercises more beautiful to look at and effective at the same time.
Conversation was incredibly. As young man who trains with calisthenics for almost 2 years, that podcast actually told me thinks that I didn't thinked about before.Good work
The conversation starting at 7:00 ending at 8:05 I was like - damn straight, everyone else is training their TibAnt and they don’t do any athletic sport or anything that requires that domain of strength and I’m doing it because of - you guessed it - shin splints and because my specialty sport is Tricking which requires Dynamic Ankle Stabilization. And so Simon goes “I can name 10 other neglected muscles you probably don’t train” and I was like “a damn right, no one trains their Glute Medius or their QLs” and then Simon goes through a list of ‘neglected’ movements that I’ve done in the last 48 hours 😂 Yes. I’m very injury prone and am undergoing a tonne of rehab 😅 (They’re all part of the Saturday Morning warmup sequence at AiM)
Hey Daniel, I have a mild pectus and my chest and torso is wider but doesnt have any depth, looks like my entire body is flat, I wanted to increase depth and volume of my chest and torso, can you suggest me few exercise.
@@aaronboyle6464 just checked bro, I’m surprised tbh 😂 why’s the podcast not on UA-cam… something seems off… also many people say that Ian is not natty, that might be part of reason why it ain’t on yt
there was something i was wondering if you could talk about that i haven't seen anywhere. can i train barbell movements and calisthenics statics only? i know there are many videos saying you can mix. but i was thinking of just pure barbell for dynamics and then training the static movements on my rest days so i can eventually gain those skills
Traiing static movements like planche and front lever just starting off on rest days is a recipe for disaster, i recommend doing both of them in both sessions
@@Jim-rs1hn so it's okay to just train pure barbell movements, and statics first? do you think that will still make me progress? thank you for answering because ive never heard anyone talk about it, i only hear mix and match and calisthenics is great but i recently got a barbell and im really into it. i want to drop stuff like dips and pseudo planch pushups and do bench but i also want to train planche so i was thinking about benching and doing planche lean and tuck planche hold but ill do it on the same day like u said
For static movements alot of them you need to do a progession for the skill, afterwards doing barbell movements right after is fine( although is unoptimal for planche), Realistically for planche you wanna do progession hold, then leans, and then bench and gym stuff. An example for front lever, you do front lever holds, then raises, and then lat pull downs and rows. Do it on the same day 100%, for planche you wanna attempt it when you're at the strongest as a beginner@@sulejmani.
Ur comment sections are weird as hell but do you still check comments for questions? Ive been trying to unlock handstand and bent arm planche for a long time now, can u recommend where in my push pull legs rest split i can work these?
@@FitnessFAQs I’m reading this and it’s like I can hear you speaking this 😂 maybe the effect of watching lots of ur videos with that perfect narration. You gotta make one video on narration too bro 😎
@@FitnessFAQsThanks off topic can you PLEASE share how I can lose weight in my face faster like double chin..I am only eating one meal a day so why am I not.losing that excess face weight since starting that? Thanks for sharing. Hope to hear from you.
No, your technique is not sound and adequate if you complete a lift with bad form. Completing a lift is one thing, encouraging people to deadlift with bowed knees and a rounded back will just cause injuries.
Awesome conversation brothers!
Congrats on 1mil👏🏻👏🏻

Simon is a genius. The way he explains things is very simple to follow and understand

You’re a champion, keep it up & welcome to the world of calestenics!! You’ve got a great teacher in Daniel.

Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. Learnt a lot! Thanks guys!
I'm 3mins in and loving this already! 💪🤓
I love these podcasts! You guys covered so much useful and practical information and topics!
I could listen to both of these guys talking about fitness for days.
I can watch them talk for days
Simon's calisthenics skills are amazing, He makes HSPU look easy, but then you look at his acrobatics and you really understand why he is SiMONSTER
Always providing us wuth content to improve ourselves !!! Thank you and keep up the work Daniel.👍🏻
All good mate, enjoy the chat.
Lee Weiland would be an awesome guest in the future if possible. I think Daniel would like his philosophy
Wise words from Simon as usual
Great teachers!!!

As a don 🗝️ that loves calisthenics I needed this
Simon really gets the fact that any dogma can be proven wrong in specific context. Context is everything.
I left youtube playing and woke up to this. Very cool
Support
Please interview Ian Barseagle and Baki
Hey Daniel, I have a mild pectus and my chest and torso is wider but doesnt have any depth, looks like my entire body is flat, I wanted to increase depth and volume of my chest and torso, can you suggest me few exercise.
Ian barseagle next?
That would be great
already been on the podcast, search on google or a podcast app - dont think it is on youtube

He is not natty bro

Bots get reported and the comments get removed but new ones appear every video. It's frustrating for us, not sure how to resolve.

It's beyond a joke now. UA-cam are asleep at the wheel here

Guys I’m new to this community. What’s the shiz with bots 😂 I see this a lot in the comments

This guy may have experience. But his advice seems pretty lousy for a beginner looking for direction.
Calisthenics sucks
its actually great
Better than weight lifting
Why you on this channel then?
So did your mom last night
