In this video, I discus answer a question that I get asked on a near weekly basis, and that is whether or not everyone needs to do weighted calisthenics. The answer to that is... it depends. First of all, if your goals are to build muscle, vitality, and general fitness, most people will be fine NEVER weighting their calisthenics. However, for those looking to maximize their strength, weighted calisthenics can be an incredible tool for doing so. That being said, don't underestimate how strong you can get from just performing your basic body weight reps with good form.
Rep ranges and muscle growth- pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28834... - Фільми й анімація
I've been training high volume calisthenics w/ no additional weights for upwards of 18 months now (after gymming consistently for 10 years prior to that), and its a seriously underrated way to train. Strict form in the higher rep range is more than sufficient and its such an accessible way to train consistently
EXACTLY!
Hi, I'm interested, what do you consider high volume to be? Thanks
More natural too. You can take your body anywhere, but you can’t take gym equipment everywhere.
Did you gain weight ?
How do you avoid boredom in grindy, high rep sets?
Love the simplicity and straight to the point approach you have man. Quality video as always.
Thank you, Piero!
I’ve been following your advice for the past month and I’ve been noticing great gains in strength. What I love most about your advice is the simplicity and accessibility. No fancy equipment or movements, just basic movements, patience, and an emphasis on great form.
Michael! This is awesome to hear! SO happy you are making great gains and enjoying the process. Keep it up and keep me posted.
You my friend are a godsend, I'm 55 and just getting back into shape after a few decades of neglect, thank you for sharing such straightforward and logical techniques and ideology
Ralfy! It's my pleasure, my friend! Thank you for the support.
I love this comment! It's never too late. Good for you.
I'm approaching 50 and need to "clean myself up" - used to be quite mobile in my 20's mountain biking, but my 30's and 40's are just dire. Working on mobility first and feel calisthenics is my best bet. Hope it's going well for you.
This is such a gem of a channel seriously, the information that you put out are gold, ive currently seen good gains from following your advice and im fully embracing the basics and good technique, i dont know if it has something to do with my short height or genes but it seems that just doing the basics really helped me with my fitness goals, keep up the good work!
another great video! love the simplistic nature of this channel and videos as always
awesome content as always man! definitely been debating this topic with myself so getting this advice now is greatly appreciated 👏
Happy to hear, Ryan!
Excellent, the information in this video is really good news as far as I'm concerned. Being 60 and hearing that weights are unnecessary for my goals is very encouraging. Although trying to be stronger and losing some beer induced middle is a goal, just being able, capable and injury free are more important to me these days. Thanks for the knowledge you are putting out Kyle, much appreciated.
Your channel is pure gold. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, Lionel!
Your channel is filled to the rim with useful info on absolutely every topic there is on bodyweight training. I can't believe where I would be if I didn't have your channel to answer all my questions. Sincerely thank you, for your hard work Kyle.
Thank you, Mace! That is very kind of you!
Every video you put out is incredible. Easily the best fitness youtuber out there. Thank you!
Check out the pulse everyone.... most fitness enthusiasts are gravitating towards Kyle's approach!! He is humbly ahead of the curve. Let's spread the word!
This gentleman is consistent & disciplined!!! 🕉
Dude, this is a great comment. Thank you, brother!🙏
Sup Kyle! Always good to see you upload. My muscle ups have been getting better. Thank you again brother.
KEVIN! Good to hear form you, my friend. I hope all is well in Mongolia!
Watching those press ups whilst you're talking - you are a machine. Rock solid. Great videos and great points to digest and think over with each one.
Thank you, Cheesman! That's quite a kind compliment!
Thank you for the support and the kind words!
Amazing video as always, easy to understand and concise. Thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks for another super useful and to-the-point video.
I’m glad I have both the weighted and unweighted options in my arsenal. A set of weighted pull-ups here, one of weighted dips there and squatting with the weighted vest adds variety and I feel it’s quite useful.
But your take on executing all the basic with good form is what matters most.
Thanks!
I agree! I really enjoy throwing the vest on for some sets. Most of my stuff is BW lately, but I love the variety.
Wow this is exactly the video that I’ve been hoping you’d make
I'm happy to hear that, Matthew!
Valuable information, as always.
Nice video as always sir! keep up the great work!
Thank you, BAR!
Great food for thought on this fine day, thanks Kyle! Funny how many people under appreciate the power and results of well done calisthenics.
Thanks, William! That is exactly right!
great content as always
Thank you!
Always love these uploads. One of my favorite channels. Even a seasoned professional trainer can be inspired by others. :)
Thank you, Kat!
Another mega dose of common sense from the BW Master Kboges! Add weight when when you are ready and have a purpose. Thank you for another great video..
Thank you, Geoff! Great summary!
Your approach to fitness and training has changed my life.
I'm a Police Officer and because of my work schedule and long hours, going to the gym and long training sessions, never really appealed to me.
High Frequency Calisthenics is the key for me.
3 or 4 sets of push, pull and squat everyday, with different variations and some kettlebell swings for my hip hinges, some running (and/or sprinting) 1 to 3 times per week, and jiu jitsu sessions, when I can get them in.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it has really changed my views on fitness and improved my quality of life.
Keep up the great work, always wishing fo another video.
Take care.
I love it! You are the perfect demographic for this type of training. So happy to hear it is working for you. Keep me posted on how it goes and thank you for your service!
Every day?🤔
@@BluBlu111 yes
Another straight to the point, no click bait, concise and helpful, non-flashy video. Just here to say thanks again.
Update on my end: Been following your basic calisthenics template: 1 push, 1 pull, 1 legs, a few reps shy from failure. 7 min every day, with about 10k steps walking. Eating is one very large meal a day for dinner, and I enjoy it with friends/family eating whatever the group decides. Down 9lbs, 2 inches off belly, 1 inch off waist, and getting stronger on all fundamental exercises.
Honestly had no idea I could make this much progress with such little effort. Because barrier is so low, I put in the 7 min every day, and end up going to 15-30 min each day and at end of week have a ton of weekly volume. You helping me understand that the rep range was wide, without needing weights, as long as few reps shy of failure, was what changed everything for me. Thanks again! See u soon
Thanks for the great videos!! Greetings from germany
Thanks, beggo
This can be often seen through pushups where people feel like they have mastered the movement and say they can rep out 100 reps, but in reality when they slow the movement, and focus on full range of motions they won't be able to do half of that. Another amazing and simple advice! God bless coach kyle
That is exactly it! 100% correct.
Thank you!🙏
Excellent video as usual
Thank you!
Good information thank you 🙏
Hey there i wanted to share my progress with you. Since june i started to take calisthenics serious and put more efford into it than before. Since im a runner and climber i didn't start at zero but i was rather weak i guess.
My pull progress lacks a bit but i am doing bed sheet doorframe rows, jackknife pull ups and kettlebell rows with 3 sets of 8-12.
Pushing vastly improved, i went from few standard push ups to serious numbers of kettlebell push ups and finally i can do some Diamond push ups.
Biggest change are legs, my squat number reached 120/day this week.
I'm doing push/pull/squat several times a week and my running performance significantly changed because my legs are stronger.
Combined with yoga several times a week i'm feeling more fit and balanced than ever before and i've lost 6-7 kg because of IF.
Thank you for sharing your content, you're part of my journey.
Since I started following your routine, I'm finally seeing those gains once again 💪 I had pull up PR of 15 which I couldn't beat for a long time. Now it's 18, and soon I hope I finally reach 20. That's my goal now, and I focus heavily on it 😎
Well done!!! Keep at it!
Update:
Since I've been following your channel for about 4-5 months now, I've went from 310lbs at 6'3 to now 278lbs.
I'm doing the Inverted Rows and Pushups 2-3x a week.
I'm starting another fat loss phase today, getting down to probably 255-260 in 8 weeks.
I'm progressing nicely, 15 Paused Pushups on Dumbbells in my Max, 25 regular Pushups, 20+ second dead hang is easy now (beforehand I felt like I'd rip my body immediately at the start of a dead hang).
Doing Squats too, my Goblet Squat is improving due to better endurance because of lighter Bodyweight.
I'm aiming for my first pull-up in the maintenance Phase following my 8 week cut, feels within reach once I lose another ~20lbs.
Thanks so much for what you do Kyle. Between your training, and the Weight loss philosophy of Mike Isratel from Renaissance Periodization, I'm making progress in my fitness and health, and for the first time in years, I have hope, and I feel in control and able to predictably and consistently work towards my Goals.
I'm aiming to be 215-220lbs by late 2023/early 2024, still doing Calisthenics and Boxing. I'll update you periodically on my progress, and at the end as well.
SO happy to hear this! Well done on all your progress! This is amazing, dude, and it does not happen on accident. That is a testament to your effort, will, and discipline. So happy to hear this, and I've got no doubt you are going to get to where you want to go. Keep me updated and enjoy the process!
I just started an 8 week maintenance phase as well, also on the advice of doctor Mike. Congrats on your results! We are gonna be fit haha
Amazing work keep it up!
calisthenics is especially great for overweight people
1 year ago, where are you at now?
Great Video!
Thank you!
Usefull video here, thanks
You are a god. Been thinking of buying a vest for the last week and you post this ahahah no way
Hahah I love when that happens!
You're the best man. Im down 6 percent bodyfat since may and your approach to exercise and lifestyle is my main motivator.
Well done, dude! Happy you have enjoyed the content!
@@Kboges only channel that i have watched every video 😀
Man you are a great man
Ah thanks, Moh. That is very kind of you.
This video came in clutch, i had been considering buy one that could go upto 20 kg's. Thanks for the video!
Glad you found it useful!
Super video bro🔥
Thank you!
Sadly ice hockey and wrestling eventually led me to needing 2 total shoulder replacements and 1 total hip. That being said, at almost 60, I feel fabulous. I can't get the pull-ups in yet, but can do some assisted. I am greatful that my joints work well and I function with very few restrictions.
Great info
Hey man, i love your videos.
Thank you!
Great video! I use a weighted vested for all calesthenics. I have a 10lb weighted vest, which is approximately 5% of my body weight. Its a slight increased challenge without causing any deficiency in form.
I really like this approach. I'm a fan of the light vest.
Awesome video
Thank you!
top tier content
This makes a lot of sense especially after i tried weighted pull-ups today for the first time. i could have just done it more clear instead. On the other hand, i do weighted parallel bar dips since I don't like going to high rep range and pushing myself is easier while doing dips than any other movements. Thanks again
Yeah you may notice you do better on the weighted dip than weighted pull up. Keep the weighted dips in there, get stronger at the BW pull up, then add some weight if you want that strength!
My personal best weighted dip was like +90 kg for 3 reps at a bodyweight around 85 kg. So I am really strong at dips but most of the time I do them without weight added, if I wamt to I could probably rep out 40+ fast dips but when done in a controlled way I don't get more than 20.When you really focus on form, speed and contraction of your muscles simple bodyweight exercises get insanely hard. On a party I did 80 fast reps bad form push ups but when I do them slow and controlled 20 push ups destroy my chest haha.
@@Philipp_-cp2xw yeah you are probably right yet we deeply believe that pushing hard is always related to more weight included in the movement i guess also progressive overload
I have been slowly but surely getting stronger and more muscular without having touching a weight or adding weight to my calisthenics in a manner that is functional for Thai Boxing. This really works folks! Thanks for sharing brother.
always gold
Thank you, Mikey!
The legend is back!
Thanks, JL🙏💪
18 year old from Australia here, your videos have been great for getting into exercising! 😁
So good to hear! Keep with it, don't rush anything, invest in your future, and when you are my age, you will be so stoked you have 18 years of good training under your belt.
@@Kboges Thanks for the kind words!
Hey Kyle, Would love if you made some content about workout supplements and what ones you use /don't use or have an opinion on. I'm working on simplifying my exercise / diet, really love your straightforward approach.
I’m a fan of doing both and can get the best of both worlds with both. Weighted for strength then body for technique perfection ,all chest to bar
Awesome video, like your content! Thoughts on doing a video on hips/knee/ankle health and strenght fundamentals?
Thank you! This is a great idea! Great suggestion.
I've learnt more about fitness in a week of watching your videos than I ever learnt in school man, I'm so grateful to have found you. I'm actively making my start in this journey with progressive movements, but how much work and rest should I be doing if I'm coming at this with no fitness backgrounds? I've been doing 3 sets of 10 progressive push, pulls and dips as well as some active and dead hangs, but I feel like I'm aching too much to continue a routine like this daily until I get my overall fitness up.
Hey Jake! Thanks for the kind words, my friend.
If you are new to training, and you are training daily, I would start with low weekly volume. Like maybe 1 set per day per movement, a few reps shy of failure. Over the weeks, start adding sets until you get up to 10-20 sets per day per movement, a few reps shy of failure.
@@Kboges thank you! I add to my notes this comment and I'm starting applying it.
@@Kboges 10-20 sets per day per movement !? or per week ? Thanks coach
@@Kboges I think you mean per week ya? Tryina kill a brother
@@variodom2596 per movement per week
Thank you sir 🙏

There are so many misleading in formation in the fitness world. With your tipps i feel on the simplest and most impotent on the right track. Thank you Kyle you are a role modle.
Thank you, Marcus! That is super kind, my friend!
Woow🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️ amazing, video thank you So much 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏
Thanks, Michael!
I've always had trouble going beyond about 3x8 for unweighted pull ups (being tall with long arms might not help there). Lately I've been working up tot 5x5 for all my main strength exercises: ring dips, pull ups, ring rows, deep ring pushups, and single leg squats. Each time I reach 5x5, I add about 5 lbs and go back to very low reps (this might even be 3x1). I've been really enjoying this and I'm definitely getting stronger - and who knows, maybe it will result in a higher bodyweight pull up count in the end.
Thanks again.Lol. I'm gonna close those tabs open from the Rogue website on vests. thanks for reminding on making the movements better with Form first. nice backyard btw, CA?
Thanks!
Yeah San Diego!
new subscriber here bro. you built like Goggins, respect
Columbu had a massive back. The past year has been just a bar and rings, my lower back just has too many issues to sling heavy weight. At 54 my back and arms are in the best shape ever and I can always find room to improve my form.
Well said!!💪💪
Another great and accurate video. For myself, at my current strength and fitness level, I’m going to agree with Franco about not adding on weight for pullups. After a set of 10-12 and a minute or two of rest, my reps will drop into the 6-9 range, so I have no business adding on weight.
I’ve tried various methods for adding on resistance to the basic pushup, but I’ve never come up with anything I really like. I don’t have any plates, I’ve tried various sandbags I found on eBay, they kind of work, but when you don’t have a training partner, it’s hard to get them in place an they seem to want to tilt left or right, or end up rolling down to your lower back or rolling up on your head. I’ve also tried resistance bands, and they just burn the hell out of my skin. So I stick with strict pushups in the 20-30 range. And after a boxing workout I will do fast explosive pushups. Really like those for speed and power development.
The only movement I like adding on weight to is the dip. I came up with a good method so I’d like to share it here to help other people out. Go to your local camping store, get yourself a good hiking back pack. Then go to the home depot and get some play sand. Then order some 4mil high quality zip lock bags off eBay. I use 4”x9” bangs, and when fully loaded they weight 2lbs. Fill about 20-30 little 2lb sand bangs to be loaded into your back pack. But don’t put the bag on your back, put it on your chest so it makes a front pack. I found when it was on my back, the straps would dig into my upper pec tendons too much. Front feels right on the money for me. May or may not work for you depending upon your frame. If you like this method you can easily add 60lbs+ to your dips.
For push-ups, have you tried moving one hand a little farther away, so more of your weight rests on the other? That's how I worked up to 1-arm.
Great video as always!
Unrelated question: what are your thoughts on pike pushups as a push variation? Do yo think they are worth it, or regular pushups are enough?
Keep up the great work!!!
Archer push ups will take u to a whole new level
Great video as always. Do you have a stretching/mobility routine for keeping flexibility? I play tennis competitively and sometimes feel tight, when doing to much calisthenics/weights. Do you have any tips or maybe could do a video about that in the future? Thank you, you're the best!
Thanks, Leon! I think this might be the next video. Stay tuned!
Great form on those push-ups, man!
I'm finishing the 8weeks pullup specialization program you've shared, having increased my max reps from 6 to 12 reps! Thanks for that!
I'm wondering how you would suggest progressing from this point; I've been thinking about repeating it for 8 weeks, but with slower and paused reps.
Appreciate your content, bro!
Thank you
My pleasure! Thank you for the comment!🙏
Serge nubret always said make the weight feel challenging Serge was all about high reps with light weight with super high volume.He had the most aesthetic conditioned physique
There is definitely something to that. I haver looked into Serge's routine...wow he was an absolute beast. Truly amazing conditioning and work capacity. Absolutely inspiring! I love it!
Been following your principle training higher frequency, 5 days of the week for me full body (one of each, push pull leg variation) but instead of choosing a set rep target for each (as one of your videos suggested). I do traditional sets and reps, eg: 3 x 8 or 3x5 etc (appropriate to variation of exercise). Interested to know if this is too much or just fine, so long as I dont over do it with the intensity each day and cycle through variations. So far enjoying the high frequency stuff, thanks to your content.
You don't have to but it's a great and very straight forward way to progress
Yes, exactly. Not needed but useful.
Hey K, great video as always! Your presentation is always great no bs straight to the point with useful information instantly. I have recently got the Baseblock Bars and I'm actually prefering using this system as opposed to going to the gym and lifting weights - which is what I have been doing for the last year. Do you think the BBars are enough paired w parallettes for me as a workout system? (inspired by that Brae video that was inspired by you haha) I'm an amateur boxer if that helps so obviously compound movements are all I need really. Cheers
Yes! I think that is an awesome set up for you. For your goals, it is perfect. Enjoy the training and keep me posted on how you boxing goes!
@@Kboges Appreciate you brother I'm looking into your programmes as well currently as I think it could aid my progression quite well?!
and will do! Shoutout from London
I started implementing them with barbells now, I’m learning the pike push-ups for shoulders, I can shoulder press 80kgs but surprisingly can’t handle my own body weight, replaced bench with dips and rows with chin ups. I’m sticking to it for at least 6 months to see the results
I think that sounds like a good plan! Keep me posted on how it goes.
love that push up GIF 😉
I've just finished weighted dips (push in general) training and this video pops up, thanks, more comments later.
Finished the video, good stuff. I like to do both weighted vest (amazing tool) and body weight only. I believe that the best exercise is consistency and to not get injured, so you need to mix things up in order to not get bored and keep pushing.
Hey Kyle, I’ve really been enjoying your videos!! they‘ve given me a more unified strategy to look at calisthenics and building a physique in general. I was wondering if you had any advice on how to emphasize the lower chest. My push-ups always seem to target the upper and middle part of my chest only and my lower chest is kind of underdeveloped. Could you give me any tips on how to focus on the lower part more with my form? Or are there any other exercises I should be doing to target the lower chest? Thanks in advance
Dips are a must for lower chest.
Hey I been watching for a while and been following the workouts day 1 to 7 and was wondering if you take any rest days?
Also thank you for the informational video!
I do not. I train daily and just modulate my effort depending on my fatigue
Today I put a 25 lb kettlebell in my backpack and did ring push-ups. The pump was insane and instantly felt my core activated like never before. I'm definitely adding this to my routine.
Pretty awesome right? I actually think I like weighted push ups more than weighted pull ups. Such an awesome exercise.
How many reps you do ? I have an extreme issues with sets and reps. I do 10kg weighted pushups 30 reps for 17 sets
Doing movements weighted one day, and without weights the next training session can also help u clean up ur form or advance/progressions because it'll feel real light when u do it without.
Yes! Great point!
Hey man, when you do your warm ups, what do you do? been doing your workouts for 2 months. i've been getting a lot of good results. I made a healthy relationship with calisthenics with you men. keep up the content.
Can you make a video regarding neutral grip pull ups and pushups? Are they really safer for joints especially shoulder
Just asking for fun, have you ever done any training for statics like planche or front lever? Also do you know what your current max lift for like squat, and bench are? It would just be kinda fun to see your maximum strength output. Thanks for the content 👍
I did a little when I was younger, but now days I have 0 interest in it. I just want to be healthy, move well, and have a good physique.
I'm curious where my max strength is too! About a year ago I threw 275 on the bar and was able to back squat it for a single, low bar, with a belt. I have not benched in like a decade or so- always messed my shoulders up, but I'm confident I could bench in the low 200's for a few reps if I had a few practice sessions. My best was 265 x3 with no spotter back when I was overhead pressing (I never benched much because of my shoulder) I'm reluctant to try though.
Adding weights to calisthenics is great for having another variation especially with the daily approach. Would love to hear your opinion on down workouts also as I'm focusing more on those lately just to switch things up from straight sets.
I totally agree. Variation in intensity is such a useful tool.
Down workouts are legit. They will build some incredible volume tolerance and work capacity.
@@Kboges appreciate the feed back and great content as always!
@@Kboges What are "down workouts?" Are they negative reps?
@@geopietro it's where you start with a certain number of reps, say 10 and each following set is one less rep till you reach 0.
10, 9, 8...down to 1.
@@conormcc_9656 Thank you!
Babe wake up, k boges uploaded!
😂
Great video as usual, my dude. Good technique is once again proven to be essential.
What about keeping the legs tight and a bit up in front of you in a straight line during pull-ups to activate your core? Do you think it has merit?
Hey Pulxar! Thank you!
I think this is a legit variation that focuses on different aspects of pulling. I prefer the arched back to get full scap retraction and depression, but legs in front will hit core hard.
for weighted calisthenics, to maximise more weights can you use a weight belt and a backpack at the same time?
That can definitely work!
@@Kboges for pull ups i heard you should put the backpack on front and not back, any reasons why?
I still think that weighted calisthenics is better for muscle as well. Reps above 12 are demanding, a lot of people will give up way before they reach actual muscle failure. While something like 4x8 on dips, first your form remains constant, while 4x25 you might fatigue sooner than you need. This is especially true for squats. I'd say that for pullups we can go away with bodyweight, as long as we play with the speed and the form, but for pushing movements and lower body it's very hard to compare with weights.
These are excellent points. I agree very much with all this.
I've found the same conclusion as you. I've found moderate weight added to the movements you mentioned to be best to keep me in around that 8 rep mark...to speak to your comment about adding weight to push movements.. very true, the only push that I don't add weight to is ring dips....with good TUT/ ROM and a ring turn out on the top, I don't require any weight for those, they have stayed quite challenging for me over the years, rarely break clean 10s on those.
@@TheHYENA87 Exactly!
@@Kboges Pal, you should do a video on why your not doing very many dips anymore. Much like your breakdown of the Row, and why you don't use alot of rows either... Would be interesting thanks!
Love from Philippines!
Thank you!
I use weighted pullups. To increase The amount of pullups I can do with out a weighted vest. It does make a difference. I’ve been struggling to get stronger at pullups for quite awhile. started doing weighted pullups and i’ve increased my reps by 2 extra.
Yeah this is a great point! It can work well, but how well depends on where you are at and what your weakness is. My best performance in terms of reps, came from a lot of paused reps, lots of high rep sets, and speed work. My heaviest sets didn't carry over as well. It was like I could pull very powerfully but I would run out of gas. it took specificity to maximize my performance.
@@Kboges this is what I came to the comments to see, thanks. Increasing pull up reps seems harder than many other exercises.
Agree, I think if you are interested in building muscles the most important thing one should do is increase ROM to the max on all of your exercises.
I think this is an extremely underrated point. That's exactly what Franco did. Always maximize ROM before even think about adding weight.
Hey! Great videos, I've been a listening your advice for a quite time now, but let me ask something (maybe someone else with a tons of knowledge would also answer this):
I noticed that when you do a pushups you tend to "lock" your elbows when you are in upper position. As a beginner I've heard a few comments about locking joints and in general conclusion people advise to avoid that. But in the other hand I've read that when there is no additional nor extreme weights when doing so, your joints should be fine.
I'm super curious about it because I am nearly 2m tall and I do have fairly long and 'thin' bodystructure and I am afraid that I will eventually hurt my joints by doing pushups.
Thanks in advance! Love your content and keep it up!
Great question. I have not heard a good physiological argument as to why this would be bad. The force on the joint doesn't change just because it's lock out- the same load is going through the joint whether it is bent or not, so I'm not sure how bent position is totally fine, but disaster happens with the same load on an extended elbow. Also, powerlifters are required to lock out the bench press and Oly lifters are requires to lock out the jerk. Both of these sports put insane forces through straight elbows; WAY higher that anything you would experience with a push up.
In general, if it was an unsafe ROM, we probably wouldn't have access to it. What I mean by this is that normal anatomical ranges of motion are generally perfectly safe when loaded with volume and intensity that are within the tissues capacity. Capacity can increase over time as a result of training, but there is nothing inherently injurious about this position.
Such a good question. Thank you for asking this.
@@Kboges Thank you so much for comprehensive answer, from now on I will definitely look differently on locking joints and range of movement in general. Your approach to health, fitness and exercise is a role model.
Im on a Push Pull Legs routine and every 5x5 sometimes 6x5 i then add about 22pounds or 10kgs and start back at 3x3. Im noticing muscle growth also.
Hi sir, what are your thoughts on HIIT workout involving calisthenics? I like to do hiit once/twice a week which includes push ups, squats and sit ups etc
I try to do both. Some days with a weight vest, some days without
Solid approach! That's how I recommend doing it for most people.
Fantastic explanation. I think you've cleared this up FOREVER 👍 👌
BTW. Using a pull-up bar like yours, can a person do assisted pull-ups?? For example, would you recommend resistance bands?
Thank! That is my hope!
Yeah assisted pull ups are an excellent option.
got dam that's some good form
Thank you!
I have access to a gym now, only 3 times a week but I guess I'll just do calisthenics at home for 3 days, gym stuff in the gym for 3 days, and rest.(highschool weightlifting class)
Hey kyle your well wisher from 🇮🇳
Keep imparting knowledge we need it.
I have been following you since last few months . I started with my first pull up just like you said on first pull up video now i am at 4 set of 5 reps strong with good form. All thanks to you. But i had an issue with my left elbow 2 of months ago while doing chinups or something that i was doing wrong, so i stoped doing chinups more frequently now i am doing pull ups and neutral grip pull ups more.
Now my elbow is fine.
So i just need your view on this, should i start doing it again or should i do more warm up or streching or focus on my form.
Wise words from you are welcomed.

Build your form and your volume tolerance first. Try the chin in the future when everything is feeling better. If chin ups bother your elbows in the future, stick to rings, neutral grip, and pull ups.
Up to 5 paused quality form pull ups since starting your videos . 👍
Nice job! That is awesome. Keep at it and keep me posted!
Weighted chin-ups feel amazing after deadlifting. I can feel the decompression taking place. Is there any risk to training like to that?
Great video as always. Also, how many unweighted pullups should one be able to do before adding weight?
Hey Marcos! It really depends, but I would build up to a high level of competence before attempting. I think a minimum should be 10 dead hang reps with chest up/arched back, no momentum etc would be a good measure.
İ love your videos
Thank you, my friend!
