Great channel. At 56 I did my first unassisted, ass to grass pistol squat this morning. Just one each leg and repeat and after months of work it felt fantastic to get there! Hope to be doing 6 each leg by summer. Cheers guys, keep em coming.
Three best BW exercises: for someone at a pretty advanced level of strength at least. A ring muscle-up is no joke for most of us. For mortals: push-ups, ring rows, and some kind of squat.
I would argue that even for advanced levels, I would never abandon basic movements like push-ups, ring rows, and squats since those compound movements are your foundation.
@@afrogamer994 MU tecnique on Rings it's easier to understand but not easier to execute. I can do both muscle ups and I found bar ones easier than rings, also I can do 10 bar muscle ups in a row and even a few more but I can only do 6 rings muscle ups that says a lot
@@carlosrodriguezsalazar6294 I can also do both and for me strict bar muscle up without kipping is harder because of the back strength it requires but each person is diferent
As a guy who trains calisthenics i could vouch for these exercises, especially the pistol squat. At my first visit to the gym(i usually train at home) I managed to do 250 kg leg presses at 60 kg bodyweight. Learn this exercises friends. They're all worth it
I have been watching CM for quite a while and love all of the content. Being in my mid 40's it takes longer to achieve some of the moves, but I get closer each day. Yes, you will experience failure and minor injury setbacks. It is inevitable, if you do any sort of athletic activity. Minimizing injury by doing proper warm ups, stretches and progressive exercises that lead to the ultimate goal...are key. My warm up is 15 minutes, but my old ass body needs it! These videos are not only knowledge and technique, but inspiration. After 3years I am still unable to do the planche (getting close though), and that's ok, because it gives me a goal and meantime I get more fit. HSPU Into planche, like Sven, will be my 50th birthday gift to myself...hopefully. Thanks for all your work and effort that go into these vids!
Sebastian Gracki , please ley Ya know when You achieve the plancha, I'M dure You Will get ir soon. I m Stiller triyng, I ' m 6 moths before 50, hace my left shoulder injured, si nos dure ir I Will get ir, butcher what I am sure is IL Will try . Happy birthday un avance.=)

Learned some humbling lessons this week, don't push too hard on the rings, it's all about your journey. If you delve too quickly and get cocky (adding some muscle and increasing your rep numbers), you might forget some necessary parts of training like proper warm up, building tendon strength and shoulder stabilization. I pushed my luck bc I was able to do 4x8 ring dips and transitioned to bulgarian dips which I thought I was doing with correct form but after 2 weeks of training with these new moves (especially the bulgarian dips) 5-6 days ago I developed this weird shoulder click which has been both annoying and scaring me that it might be serious. Been waiting like 5 days to train and when I wake up I have pain. Through the day I raise my arm in a wrong way and I have pain. This is the first time I've been injured in 7-8 years. Hoping for speedy and correct recovery. Doing postural work, light scapula and light shoulder rotational work to let some blood flow there without muscle damage. Looking for any info I can gather on recovering a shoulder impingement and other shoulder joint problems.
Wunderful exercises. It gives me a kick. I'm 62 and just started 10 month ago. First trained my muscles and with the rings from october 2017. Already can do a many. Your tubes helps a lot getting the right techniques. My wife thinks Im grazy but I enjoy it. Thanks again guys. Ronald
Probably because this channel gives solid and usually scientifically sound advice from certified trainers, as opposed to all the dubious bro science channels out there when it comes to fitness.
There’s beginner/other videos from him for a reason. This one says the 3 BEST don’t expect to be able to do the best if you don’t have the skill level to do the best. This should be motivation if you can’t do it
The best 3 exercicies YOU CAN DO would be a nice video to watch. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Greetings from Brazil! Edit: Intersting that 2 of the exercises are with rings ( my favorite equipment ) , I'm still unable to do such movements, but what I like about CM channel, is that you guys always teach the whole movement, from beginner to advanced, that's the great thing about this channel.
Calisthenicmovement yup! You know dead lifts, bench press and overhead presses. I do them 5x5, really heavy weight! 2 day calisthenics split and 2 day full body at gym per week. I'm running AlphaDestiny's novice program in gym and 2 day split calisthenics program my friend made. Sounds good? I'm making progress though.
Beautiful guys! I am just starting to work with rings again and I love the face that you present 3 "simple" exercises to train the whole body. Currently doing abs, pull ups/chin ups and dips on the rings but if I will get the chance to hang my rings that high, I wanna start the 360° pull. I guess I can do a ring muscle up with my legs bent, because I don't have so much height to hang my rings at the moment.
5:32 so what is the purpose of the extended free leg? Just aesthetics? When I try to keep my free leg extended during Pistol Squat, my thigh becomes sore. I find it much more comfortable to curl my free leg, while making sure it doesn't touch the ground. This way I still lift the same weight, whether my free leg is extended or curled, right?
The reason why your thigh gets sore it that you train your quads in this position. Mobility = Strength, and it's very hard for your rectus femoris (one part of your quadriceps) to hold or to get to this position. So the benefit is improved Mobility + Stronger Quads.
thank u, thank u, thank u guys, awesome video as always, u guys r the best in delivering both great content along with the right approach in my view although I would just love to see a video from u guys as to how to go about training while on injury (I know it's tricky n hope u guys know what I mean) eg: tightness in a certain muscle n not tendons or ligament injuries. thanx again, love ur work n may God bless u both.
Hey guys first of all, great content. I trust you in giving us information to improve our physical and even mental condition. I couldn't find a video with an emphasis on the lower back. Could you make one? Thank you!
I think to truly get a full body total work out adding a Nordic curl would and a better balance on the lower body exercises as the pistol squat does not give enough hamstring tension
"let's start with the 360º pull" ... yeah, let's! hahaha
Great warm up.
Fernando Romera right?!
Fernando Romera lol. As soon as I heard that I knew I wasn't ready lol
Kill some 360 pull ups right babe?
This is a good guide for beginners...
Quality video CM
Thanks Daniel!
you both are amazing calimove and fitness faqs
How much does the guy showing the muscle up weigh?
Team up guys
Patrik Lilja weight is less important than strength to bodyweight ratio.
loved the first move!
Nice to see a bunch of big calisthenic channels support each other!
you need more tattoos
Oh snap! I just got your app today. Ditching bodybuilding for calisthenics 😁💪
whooowww Thenx!!!
Ayy
That slow 360 has to be the coolest calisthenics exercise I've ever seen 0_0
Wtf! They make everything looke easy. You guys beasts!
His pistol form is flawless
Form is key
Beautifull 💪

Might as well be called "3 exercises you can only dream of ever doing" ;)
The pistol isn't that hard
Dont worry ring muscle up is easier than muscle on the bar (strict)

I always imagine the guy with the beard is the one that talks, but I've never actually seen it. Am I correct?
Yes, the guy with the beard is El Eggs. He's doing the voice overs.
Calisthenicmovement thanks, Cali. You guys inspire me, even though I still hardly work out and just barely look better than the average guy lol
I legit thought it was the other one
El Eggs = Alex
I've always thought it's some indian college kid they hire to do the voice overs lol

I love how you do a perfect form of all exercices. Great video!
Great video and an amazing show of kynesthetic awareness by both of you. The level of body control you've got is incredible
you should see the shoulders video... he can pop from a free standing handstand right into a bridge, just incredible shoulder performance
Even my science teacher likes this channel

I have Integrated strength training and calisthenics together and the results are AWESOME!
Calisthenics is also Strength Training. You mean Weight Training and Calisthenics.

That's how real strength and technique look like.. that's how I truly wanna loook like.
This vid got me into calisthenics 4 years ago, still going.
Great video as always, you guys are one of the bests on youtube. Great editing, too!
360° Pull ❌
Ring Muscle up ✔️
Pistol Squat ✔️
360° Pull on the way...
Absolutely excellent thinking. I would agree if limited to 3 exercises these should be them.
isnt the 360 pull skin the cat?
Calisthenics is just the best and its getting more popular
This channel makes only quality videos damn. So good. Btw, add the glute ham raise and pretty much every muscle is hit
Very good!Very Well explained!And who cant do can make the phases isolated until do It all together.
You guys are so strong!! That is some great dedication there..

Form is absolutley on point 👌
Please do a video on how to fix anterior pelvic tilt and nerd neck!
will come soon. Just recorded the voice over today :D
tom merrick has good videos on these, but i'd also like to see what these guys come up with for it
At least i can do pistols
ahaha, meeee too.
i try it and my knee almost explode!
Luis kpi almost is good
I can do them, but I feel like my quad muscle is about to get pulled when I do them.
Do more deep squats.
jesus those pistols... almost no curve in that spine, amazing!
u both hv jst incredible strength
hope I achieve that one day.....
Am I only one wondering if they carried ladder to a parking garage to hang up those rings, or climbed up there?
@@eleggs lol... that's funny
I was looking for this comment...
Great Content as always !
keep going guys
jesus that one tip with the pistol squat was what i really needed
That pistol squat form is so clean
i know, i can't get over it lol
That's it!!! I'm getting 2551 additional youtube accounts to get this great video to 10k likes XD

thank you for your explanation. i learned something new today
It's basically a one leg L sit. Super hard for your hip flexors. Which is basically the upper part of your quads.
You guys are great. In all seriousness: is there any exercise you guys can't do?!
VG von Berlin!
thank u, thank u, thank u guys, awesome video as always, u guys r the best in delivering both great content along with the right approach in my view although I would just love to see a video from u guys as to how to go about training while on injury (I know it's tricky n hope u guys know what I mean) eg: tightness in a certain muscle n not tendons or ligament injuries. thanx again, love ur work n may God bless u both.

Incredible technic ! U guys are beasts!
7:22 snake dance 🤣🤣🤣

The front lever seems like a progressional step to conquer first for most of us.
How'd you get your straps up on such a high beam? You bring a ladder to the shoot?
I loved this video. Thanks guys, and all the best
What an excellent video!!
Thanks and congrats!
Just tore my hip labrum. I'll be doing a lot of these workouts post surgery minus the pistols. Thx
add snatch and sprint and you've got everything. nice.
you guys are absolutely beasts! what a strength!
Supernatural human. Fantastic
Great great video! You guys are the best 💪🏻
you guys are insane, i love it !
I only can do a 360° pull (both tuck) and the pistol squat. I can't do muscle ups in rings yet coz it need more balancing. Thanks for this btw.
The blue zero drop shoes. What brand is that? I need those in my life :)
the strength needed to perform this is crazy!
Hey guys first of all, great content.
I trust you in giving us information to improve our physical and even mental condition.
I couldn't find a video with an emphasis on the lower back. Could you make one? Thank you!
Yeah, we already work on a video for lower back exercises (reduce back pain). Stay tuned.
I think to truly get a full body total work out adding a Nordic curl would and a better balance on the lower body exercises as the pistol squat does not give enough hamstring tension
Awesome video! I have to learn how to do all of this stuff.
hi guys thank you for the quality of your channel. could you please do a video on how to do hanging leg raises thank you
awesome as usual! Thanks guys
Your form is always so god damn perfect....
Nice work like always! I'm going to start focusing on these movements more often
You guys are great, thank you for your videos. Is there any chance you can make a "rings" playlist? I just purchased some, wish me luck 😅
Badass, I actually do all of these already. Except I do muscle ups in the bar. Need more practice on the rings.
