    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?

  • @KastoeKrab
    @KastoeKrab Місяць тому +9

    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.

    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)

    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

    • @Jim-rs1hn
      @Jim-rs1hn Місяць тому

      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

    • @sulejmani.
      @sulejmani. Місяць тому +1

      @@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

    • @Jim-rs1hn
      @Jim-rs1hn Місяць тому

      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.
