    Upper body strength has always been my weakness and I’ve been thinking that I want to be strong enough to pull myself up in an emergency. That may sound like a weird reason, but I think it would be super cool and feel satisfying to know I could fully handle my own body weight and have that kind of control over it.

    This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen. Really in depth on the fundamentals that most people gloss over. Doing body weight has a lot of complications to it compared to weight lifting. Having to remember every part of a movement isn’t easy and it can be hard to break down where someone is failing.

      Yep during the shutdown last year I had to rely on push-ups and other calisthenics, of course, and lighter weight dumbbells doing more reps. When I went back to the gym, my bench and squats had gone up. Another thing that happened was my physique and fitness noticeably improved from doing only calisthenics, running, stairs, dumbbell supplementation. I’ve now made the switch from gym to to home/street workout full time and I’m getting better results - at age 46 - than I ever got at the gym, where I did too much “testing my strength.” Home workout benefit that you can grab a workout in your underwear has real benefits: more total volume per week, no baggy shorts to interfere with squats (seriously). I’m doing “no days off” or 6 days a week full body - not destroying myself each workout like I would with 2 or 3 gym workouts per week (when I needed 3 recovery days), but I’m seeing results. I’m kind of moderately pumped all the time I guess. But since I’m not totally destroying myself with each work out, I think I’m getting enough recovery for the muscles to grow. Or, if I did a hard enough work out the day before that I am really sore on a given day, then I will take a day off. I managed to achieve that recently doing a bunch of dumbbell lunges.

      Nice dude
      I remember when I started working out it started with calisthenics but now I’m getting into bodybuilding
      One mistake I made was that I didn’t have rest days and my diet was trash
      Ur diet is the most important thing

Monday/Wednesday and Friday, with the weekends off. I was 39, now 40 and I feel better than ever. Honestly. My best advice to anyone starting out is to stay dedicated and push through because the results will come. I'm living proof! Also, mentally I feel much better too!

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:14 🏋️‍♂️ Building foundational strength is crucial in calisthenics to avoid hitting plateaus and progressing effectively.
    00:55 🤸‍♂️ Controlling movement tempo is essential for proper form and strength development in calisthenics.
    02:01 💪 Developing awareness and strength in the shoulder blades (scapula) is vital for effective calisthenics movements.
    03:37 🔢 Prioritize controlled movements over high rep counts to build lasting strength and avoid cheating.
    04:19 🧘‍♀️ Building both anterior and posterior core strength is crucial for stability in calisthenics exercises.
    06:08 🏋️‍♂️ Progress by breaking down exercises into partial movements and then combining them for full strength development.
    08:00 🏆 Focusing on proper form through partial movements helps target specific muscles and avoid injury risks.
    08:55 🤸‍♂️ Using furniture creatively can help build specific muscle engagement, such as scapula activation in pull-ups.

      It's basically bodyweight exercises.
      It improves your overall strength for complex and diverse movements (contrary to weight lifting where you build more strength but for a limited number of moves and ranges again and again, which is less efficient in an everyday situation).
      It also builds a lot of relative strength (your strength compared to your weight), your core, and your physique (obviously) in a very balanced way. Although it's a bit harder to progress and the result comes slowly.
      Legs are a bit harder to build but there are some great exercises for them, most people just don't dig deep enough into Calisthenic leg exercises. And you can add weight to the exercises or complete it with weight lifting if you want.
      ACalisthenics also improve your stability, agility, and flexibility (especially if you add some yoga exercises, which most of the advanced practitioners do).
      It's great for your body, physique, and most importantly health.
