No, I don't train till failure often as I prefer trying to achieve good form and lots of mind-body connection over reps. Plus the recovery time needed for to failure sets is too long, which will impact my weekly training significantly.. Try to stop 2 reps short of failure.
@@Summerfunfitness @@Summerfunfitness ok thanks! I think I'm struggling with the structure of calisthenic workouts, as I'm so used to supersets and rounds in weightlifting. Would you say that there's less structure to calisthenic workouts, or am I just being ignorant? Your videos are the first I've watched on this. I'm super inspired by your content, and when I found saw you're plant-based as well I thought wow you are seriously killing it!
@@Katy_crawford Calisthenics workouts are structured the same as weighted workouts. As you know you can train weights various ways, it is the same with calisthenics. If you want to focus on building size do more rounds, higher reps (same as weight lifting) if you want to go for strength do fewer reps (that are hard). You could also train calisthenics like a HIIT workout, where its all high intensity, low weight, cardio based. All the same principles apply. A good example would be powerlifting vs body building. Both use weights, just using different sets and reps. If you are looking for both strength and muscle size you would train both rep ranges within your calisthenics workout. If you are working on an extremely hard calisthenics skill (such as pike push ups) you would do it on it's own - this is the same as weight lifting. Here is an example: say you were working on heavy heavy squats - you wouldn't normally pair that with another exercise, you would complete it on it's own. BUT if you were doing lighter weight then you could do a superset of squats, lunges and hip trusts. The same applies to calisthenics. Like I said in the video, the exercises shown are actually my warm up, which means I do them all in higher rep ranges in order to get my body ready for the strength part of my workout. However, for you, these may be the strength portion of your workout, so you could take the hard AF exercises and do them on their own, in multiple rounds. If the movement is too easy then you could super set it. Check out my how to start calisthenics guide for more information. Or privately message me on IG.

How, where and from whom have you learned all that?! Your teacher(s) are PURE GENIUS(ES) and absolutely amazing sports scientists.
Thanks for doing this Summer. Stay healthy and safe out there during these challenging times.
So good once again! This destroyed my shoulders **in a good way**
Awesome! Can’t wait to try these tomorrow morning! Thanks Summer!!
Glad you liked them! They're my go to at the start of all my in home/gym sessions.
These are really good exercises!
Very good information Summer well delivered 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Those arms on a lady are a testimony that bodyweight can induce A LOT of hypertrophy if the proper methodology is applied.
I am going to try some of them soon, some of them I knew :)
Saw you on IG. Excited to try these workouts
Good

Hi, were you just doing each exercise to failure? :)
