I love these educational Videos and you sitting on the floor, sometimes drinking and eating while filming makes the video really chill. You are a vibe man! Would love a Video on structuring Workouts and different Skills. Please dont change the style to all the professional, general, high edited advice, i really like it like this. You sitting on the ground and being so chill is actually kind of iconic since i never seen anyone do this haha
I totally agree with you since this is what happened to me when I was first learning the Front lever. I always heard that you should be doing it in the perfect form because if you don't do it in the perfect form that is not going to pay off, which pushed me to decrease the volume of my full front lever training and sticking with the easier progressions. I just tried it for once or twice every front lever session, trying to hold in the perfect from. I wasn't able to advance more than 3 sec hold for about two months; I got stuck there which was very frustrating. Then I realised that my easier progressions were becoming so much stronger while my full front lever is not advancing at all, or at least very very slowly. For example, I was already able to do 5 half lay front lever pulls in a good form, but wasn't able to hold more than 3 sec in the full front lever (in a good from), which I somehow knew wasn't normal. Then I decided to be more specific and don't care much about the form. I just tried to increase the volume of my full front lever without caring much about the form, which tremendously helped me. I progressed faster than ever in my full front lever. After two months of being specific and increasing the volume as much as possible, I was able to increase my hold from 3 sec hold to 12 sec hold in a perfect form. This is not to say that progressions are useless. No they are really helpful, but not the absolute key for the main skills. Once you unlock a specific skill, try to gradually increase the volume of the main skill, meaning performing it in as much sets as possible, without caring too much about the form, and to be more specific. And this is what I have been doing since then, and to be honest it has been absolutely game changing.
One thing to tell for 0:30 , the area you shoot is very nostalgic for me and is very much professional and unique to see , i guess it will be more attractive and professional to sit there and giving us that usefulll tips , you are goat man ❤❤
This video is pure motivation,now i know what to do and how to do it, gotta learn those full planche push ups. And btw it just seems that not only in calisthenics but also in life trying to always be perfect will get you stuck
Valentin said the same in one of his videos some months ago, a lot of people pressure themselves for doing sometimes a little bad form but like you said if the bad form is not leading to injurie and its for performance purpose its good to see it like a tool you sometimes have to use
I cannot explain how much i love your content, you have helped me create a better understanding about everything in calsithenics. You seem like a real down to earth dude who js lives a normal life helping others who are less experienced then you ❤
Been really loving these videos, it's something nobody else is doing, and I feel blessed because knowing these things open up so many more options. Almost nobody talks about cheating the form a little so this is a little new to me, but it really makes sense. I just recently realized I wasn't pushing myself hard enough on the front lever as I would rarely do bodyweight and just stick with bands, and not even go to failure with the bands, now from my last few workouts i've switched to basically not using bands for planche and increasing the intensity on front lever, and i'm already getting accustomed to my own weight and seeing very good results. Really grateful for your videos dude
Very good video. I extremely enjoy last videos. Dont get me wrong your vlogs are cool too but these videos where you talk about specific topics are best and also very valuable. I also really like how orginal you are. Most calisthencis youtubers/influencers are doing same videos over and over again but you are doing something orginal.
i am the living proof of what you preach. I started Calisthenics waaaay back, 14 years ago, probably I was one of the very first athletes ever, and it was literally my first and only sport. 14 years later I'm nowhere near today's standards. Yes I can planche, yes I can press, I can push, but as you said my endurance is basically one set, that's it. And my reps are low. I'm not going to say I'm necessarily "weak" because I can do almost all the skills (stopped training maltese and back lever hefesto for an injury and I too hate victorian lol) but I'd be lying if i said I can do them comfortably or combo them. Why? Because back then the hype was all about perfect form. And sure enough like Nathan said I DID progress and I DID unlock the skills of my dreams but I am still WEAK in those, even after 14 years. Because I always held back, like his student did. If we had Nathan back then by now I would be far stronger, no cap. But I'll keep following your advice and see how it goes. So thanks again for the videos because they're truly helpful at least to those who want to listen and understand how this all works.
There was Barkage also, he made a video 3 years ago called stop chasing perfection. Sadly he's gone now so I'm glad we have someone like Nathan to provide quality
Bro that's what i needed to hear.. i was stuck in volume/perfect form. i was doing attemps of perfect form too soon in my training.. And yes i was feeling stuck :( Now ill do more volume and less attemps of perfect form full planche. Ty for the video
thank you so much for your insights on this topic! i really enjoy doing alot of attempts of exercises or holds im working on that i might not yet be physically strong enough to do with perfect form. as long as my mind is learning the cues and trying to put me in the proper position, even tho my body isnt able to execute them yet i feel like im progressing towards it and will get there eventually. like just spending the most time possible in that position even with not so great form helped me alot so far.
Salut mec, ça va ? On veut d'autres vidéos comme ça Nathan ! C'est ce dont la communautée a besoin ! Hey man, how are you? We want more videos like this Nathan! This is what the community needs!
@nathanbosech ça fait plaisir ! Tu pourrais faire des analyses de figures de tes abonnés ? Ça pourrais plaire à certains et promouvoir tes enseignements.
this video made me feel so much better, thanks bro❤...I just have a question.. ..So whats a good balance for you in terms of Form and Volume in a week?...I would do volume one day, next day form sucks, i feel week ?
@cycek3389 thanks a lot bro, I've been doing that honestly,,but I think I'm still stuck at straddle lever cause I also train for straddle Planche..While also doing a lot of volume in the same week🥲But thanks,I'll just have to focus on one for now
I want to hold the front lever for 10 seconds with good form but i dont know how to make my form bad in order to increase my hold.What I mean is that i get into a hold and after 5 seconds my waist goes down and I try to hold it with bad form but i cant.Do you have any advice?Great video by the way
Hello Nathan, currently I can only do one full press and it is very difficult for me. The only way to increase volume for full planche press is to work in halflay planche and currently I can do 3 presses, my goal is to do 5 in halflay. What do you think about this? Do you think it is a good strategy to improve my full planche press?
Why don’t you do your full press try to negative open in stradle try to press the stradle negative in tuck try to press the tuck or even use a band if your not a fan of progression
En vrai j’aimerais, si tu veux bien, avoir ton avis sur ma progression, perso j’ai actuellement 9 secondes de full avec une forme dont je suis plutot satisfait(je me mettrais a peu près 8/10 vrmt a la louche mais voila, pas pr me vanter mais au moins sa te donne une idée) et je sais que j’ai toujours bossé en alternant le travail de forme a l’élastique et le travail de volume, et j’ai jamais vraiment eu ce « gros » volume dont tu parle, j’ai du maximum avoir 3/4 secondes bad form en comptant la descente a un moment mais c’est tout, après je suis immédiatement passé a 4/5 secondes good form. Si t’a le temps de me répondre alors merci, je demande quasiment jamais rien aux athlètes en général donc voila 🫡
@ ct juste par rapport a la conversion volume/forme, j’ai vraiment plus l’impression dans mon cas d’avoir bossé les deux simultanément sans jamais avoir se transfert de l’un vers l’autre
@@nathanbosech It is good for shoulder mobility, right ? Also It is my first skill in my calisthenics journey. Should I focus on front lever and handstand? If so..,then any tips ?
Your video really makes me want to continue watching long videos in lieu of short ones (and also inspires me to continue my workout career). Thanks u so much ❤🔥(^///^)
Hi Nathan! Offtopic. You ve said you come to Serbia soon. When? Where? I live in Serbia and i really want to know where the competition is going to be at
Can you talk about low high intensity reps VS 3-8 reps (total in a set) but with mediom intensity? Example: i'm learning straddle PU to iso and I don't know if it's better to do 1 rep -8kg or it' better to do 3-4/5/6 reps with thicker band
It’s better to push your self to do a lot of rep with the less help possible at the beginning of training your banded work should be 80% of your training imo
Ah perfect finale after spending whole weekend binge watching every single video of Nathan. Love all the vlogs, but eggs with banana?! That. I don't understand. Its disgustang. Have you thought about contacting FitnessFAQ for a podcast? I think that would be a great way to reach a wider audience.
I'm using the full planche press with super band in my workout, the only problem is the super band comes off when it goes up too much, if I changed to one leg, there wouldn't be much volume, I accept suggestions bro
I love how you said we all train alone in our room in our underwear in our mother's house 😂😂😂
Ew, grow up lads. Train alone in your underwear in your own house, like an adult.
Tbh it is sooo true
EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING AT THIS VERY MOMENT
Just did this 2 days ago 😂
Yep il part of this club now
Actually sitting on the floor is a good vibe for me
Ok ok that’s cool 😎
Yea same

Yes calisthenics is A LOT like life and human interaction in general
6:45 man I felt like I was called out
Valentin said the same in one of his videos some months ago, a lot of people pressure themselves for doing sometimes a little bad form but like you said if the bad form is not leading to injurie and its for performance purpose its good to see it like a tool you sometimes have to use
Yeah
Yes, I think that everything in life is a balance. not always ultra bad form, but also not always the perfect form ⚖️♾️
I cannot explain how much i love your content, you have helped me create a better understanding about everything in calsithenics. You seem like a real down to earth dude who js lives a normal life helping others who are less experienced then you ❤
Glad you like it man
most real video i have ever seen. deeply and simply explained, not leaving any detail. amazing

You got this man
This is exactly what people needed to hear. Thanks a lot Nathan.
Glad you think that man 🫶🏻
If we can make calisthenics mature out of these wrong preconcieved ideas, a new era of calisthenics will begin. Thanks Nathan!
That would be cool damn but I have absolutely no hope
@nathanbosech a true philosopher 😂

Ultra valuable information, thank u very much for sharing this kind of knowledge, i love this format. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!

Damn that’s cool to read I’m glad keep going !
love you nathan
Literally the first influencer to actually give helpful advice
There was Barkage also, he made a video 3 years ago called stop chasing perfection. Sadly he's gone now so I'm glad we have someone like Nathan to provide quality
@@lock2821 I was gonna say barkage aswell, he was a great source of information and really positive
We miss him
Thanks man
@@nathanbosech Yes🙁, and we are still very lucky to have you bringing such important value to this community. It's needed
Bro that's what i needed to hear.. i was stuck in volume/perfect form. i was doing attemps of perfect form too soon in my training.. And yes i was feeling stuck :(
Now ill do more volume and less attemps of perfect form full planche. Ty for the video
Glad you will change your ways you got this man
0:41 the set up is fine. Too many UA-camr wants perfect studio but have shit information. The information is all that matters.
True true
Bro always comes back with golds❤
Thank you for this makes me not over complicate calisthenics

Good ❤
I already knew all this because of Valentin otz, but still thanks for sharing this to the Community🙏
This video is gold 🔥🔥🔥🔥
thank you so much for your insights on this topic!
i really enjoy doing alot of attempts of exercises or holds im working on that i might not yet be physically strong enough to do with perfect form. as long as my mind is learning the cues and trying to put me in the proper position, even tho my body isnt able to execute them yet i feel like im progressing towards it and will get there eventually. like just spending the most time possible in that position even with not so great form helped me alot so far.
Yep build that tension time and volume !
Really loving this type of video dude 😌
Glad you enjoyed!
True talk my friend bless up
What a real legend
Thanks man !
Ça donne une vibe "training in the mother's room" d'être assis à terre, c'est pas mal aussi
Après je vis plus chez ma daronne depuis longtemps ahah
THanks for this video :)
Glad it was helpful!
Great video sir , it was really an informative video and I'll implement it or keep in my mind in my calisthenics journey
Good luck !
A Vvery good video❤
This is so good
Great video!! I definitely learned a lot
I'm so glad!
Continues à faire des vidéos man tu régales ❤️
Salut mec, ça va ? On veut d'autres vidéos comme ça Nathan ! C'est ce dont la communautée a besoin !

Thank you so much for your information bro😊 and can you tell me how i can improve my strength 🤛
No wtf I just explain you how to train and progress what more do you want
Really nice video, it’s very usefull
Glad you think so!
That drawing is awesome, was it a gift or did you do it yourself?
It was a gift !
Big fan sir
I always try to get as much good form seconds or reps as I can then devolve until it’s an unrecognisable skill 😂
Going to failure every set is not the way to go maybe 1 or 2 set per training max
love u bro
Bro i like this kind of videos! Althought i did miss the: "THERE'S SO MANY" and other classic of you lol😂 anyway good video keep going
this video made me feel so much better, thanks bro❤...I just have a question.. ..So whats a good balance for you in terms of Form and Volume in a week?...I would do volume one day, next day form sucks, i feel week ?
You did not listen to the video.
I think u can strat training with proper form and end the training with Less proper to add volume
@cycek3389 thanks a lot bro, I've been doing that honestly,,but I think I'm still stuck at straddle lever cause I also train for straddle Planche..While also doing a lot of volume in the same week🥲But thanks,I'll just have to focus on one for now

I actually Wanna use the bad form, but I´m afraid of not being able to improve form.
It’s two différent job but if you work on it correctly there is no reason
Yo bro, I can hold back lever for 3-4 sec but my goal is for 7-8 sec. How do I increase my holding period?
Why would you work on such a random skill to begin with
@@nathanbosech It is good for shoulder mobility, right ? Also It is my first skill in my calisthenics journey. Should I focus on front lever and handstand? If so..,then any tips ?

Your video really makes me want to continue watching long videos in lieu of short ones (and also inspires me to continue my workout career). Thanks u so much ❤🔥(^///^)
Keep going !
Bro about the legs, does training legs really affect your planche training?
Use your brain 1 sec
Hi Nathan! Offtopic. You ve said you come to Serbia soon. When? Where? I live in Serbia and i really want to know where the competition is going to be at
Hi man I’ll be in no I sad normally but idk when or where
Do I need weighted pullups to increase my reps in pullups?
Idk I’m not doing pull ups
Bro ,please tell me how to increase planche hold ?
Not possible
@ why?
You ask me if I can I’m telling you no
is this work with ctw hspu and the free hspu i mean if i archer my back a little bit to get a little power ?
Ye you can Bend your back a litle for hspu I will allow you to do more reps
Trop beau l’artwork de toi, je peux te demander c’est qui qui l’a fait ?
Je retrouve plus son pseudo :(
@ ah triste 🥲
Nathan, comment dois-je utiliser les élastiques lors de mon entraînement ? je suis débutant
Bah oui
Es cierto que el entrenar en anillas te da mucha más fuerza en plancha?
No it’s not

You just open your legs when you arrive in hand stand or a bit before to block the band
