Weigthed calisthenics is like modifying gravity, amazing athleticism and aesthetics
Awesome way to phrase it
It how to go super sayan
So a back squat is really just weighted calisthenics... mindblown
FightMe yes it is actually lol
Everyday, we stray further away from God...
deadlift and benchpress is also weighted calisthenics...
imagine doing both, without weight... now add a bar... ta daaaaaa
@@happyfish1212 no,they're actually not,squat is,bench and deads aren't

No idea how old AlphaDestiny is, but I'd guess i've got like ten to fifteen years on him. My point is I've been lifting for close to 30 years and can't think of anything he's said in the plethora of videos of his i've watched that I don't agree with. Now I'm also a lifetime natty so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I'm very impressed with the knowledge he's gained in the time he's been training. Of course, 20 years ago youtube wasn't a factor, but thank god it is now. Young lifters, take advantage and watch his videos and take notes....you'll save yourself years of trial and error.
I'm training with weighted calisthenics for now 7 months ( specially pull up, dips and push up) and you're totally right :
My front lever increased for 5-6 second, I can do more muscle up in one set and the craziest thing is that I can put more weight on the bench press than my friend who is in the gym since 3 years only because I do weighted dips. And of course I made more muscle gains than just train with my own body weight. So I totally agree with you.
Sw99 whats your Routine? And how often?
yeah pls tell us a good weekly routine of weighted calisthenics
Can calisthenics build muscle???🤔🤔
@@nationfirst4886 yes.
@@nationfirst4886 yes calisthenics build mass when you want something more weighted calisthenics is for you
I went from 170lbs to 240lbs with calisthenics. Haven't lifted weights for about 15 years. Pullups dips pushups rows ring curls ring tricep extensions squats lunges and various versions of each, using different leverages, rep/set ranges and tempos, 4-5x a week. Here in NYC you can go to any park and find guys doing calisthenics who are bigger and stronger than most guys lifting weights at the gym.
That's incredible Jay!
@FitzChivalry Farseer - a lot of gymnasts dont bench they mainly do variations on planche push ups n dips and can bench their bodyweight so it is possible
Good for you but I see no reason to do calisthenics alone unless there is some calisthenics olympics out there where you can compete. If calisthenics worked for bodybuilding, some serious bodybuilders would be doing it but there are none. It's definitely better than nothing but if you want a great physique then there are more effective means out there.
@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252 how to do tricep extensions or curls with "rings" ?
Dude I'm in NYC as well. I workout in different parks all over NYC. Let's link UP.
Could not agree more. I trained calisthenics for 4 months and i have seen gains i have never seen in 1 year of weight training.
G kev Whats your Routine, Bro ?
Ey bruh you were doing some incredibly wrong with your weight training😆👀
G kev probably just more shredded man not bigger
Seeing more gains due to fat loss or afe you doing weighted calithenics.

Hey Alex, here's a tip for your weighted pushups - if you put the dipping bars on the lowest pin height on the rack, and rest your feet on the bench, you can effectively perform neutral grip weighted pushups and get a really great stretch at the bottom!
Damn that's genius!!! AWESOME tip bro, thanks for sharing this
That's what omarisuf do man.
@@AlexLeonidas You can do it with rings too. That's how I do it
Hey genius help me out. I have a bench, parrallets of pvc, weights but not power rack. Lets see what you can say about that.

What is your favorite aspect of weighted calisthenics?
I absolutely believe weighted dips should be a part of any bench program.
More athletic than many simple weight-lifting exercises, easier to track and improve progress than simple calisthenics. Also, if you travel and can't get to the gym, you can find shortcuts to travel with a portable gym via weighted or otherwise resisted calisthenics.
Pullups
Easy progressive overload
The fact that your body is so much lighter after doing a few heavy sets of weighted calisthenics
Alex is the type of person to dress as jesus at a Christmas party

ROLMFAO!!!
I see it now, he is a Jesus look alike 😅
Isa Shakil lol after I read your comment I picture it right away.
Capitalize the G and no he doesn’t
Perfect mix of gym lifts, weighted calisthenics and high-volume calisthenics is where it's at.
Great point
I love weighted push ups! They feel much more natural, I can rest-pause them, I can fully retract and protract my scapula. If you are reading this and you prefer bench press, by all means, do what you love, but I’m definitely a weighted push up guy
Fuck yeah my chest popped out with a few weeks of weighted push ups the pump is crazy too
@@ikersosa1442 Absolutely. The weighted stretch from deficit push ups is godly too.
Yes I officially switched over major difference
*AGREED. Weighted pushups > bench press. All day, every day.*
I feel like you're about to leave the awkward long hair phase looking good bro, keeping growing it out!
All the bald and short hair beta trash who wanted to know why WE NEED HAIR to embrace our lovely and peacefull winter.
I agree, its starting to look sick asf
hes already out of it, he looks like jesus
Yup, just gotta commit
Have to agree with them Alex the hair is good
The progress you can make with weighted calisthenics is unreal. I could barely hold a straddle planche for 2 seconds but just after a week of doing zenetti flies I was able to hold a good straddle planche for 5 seconds
That's incredible bro!
This shit is %100 fact and works in reverse too. After 15 years rock climbing I could do OAP no problem. When I started doing weighted pull-ups for the first time, I was able to start at %75 of my BW, right away, with no prior weight training.
Damn ....bIk a skinny guy , stiil struggled to do 10 percent of added weight .... U doing 75 prcnt is monstrous .... Basically u r a monster

The previous week I was able to do my first set of weighted pull-ups (beginner, 8 months of training experience). Got excited, did couple sets with 5kg plate, and then even managed to do 2 reps with 10kg. When I did the last set, just bodyweight, I felt like I was flying on the bar (in comparison to weighted sets). Amazing feeling. Thank you Alex, you've been my inspiration since day 1 of my training. Cheers.
Hey, how are you doing in terms of weighted calisthenics 3 years after you commented :)
@@finanzamtfluechterdead
i know it's weird but i see you as an older brother. I really appreciate your work thanks alex. Great choice for background btw

This guy knows his stuff and I’ve listened to tons so called experts ! News Sub !
I love heavy, low rep weighted calisthenics. It’s awesome
I usually lift weights more than weighted calisthenics but I recently changed my program to have the best of bot worlds. Amazing
High volume calisthenics and weighted calisthenics is where it’s at
bros motivation is his posters
Can you do a full day of eating please.
every since the cleaning eating video and health stuff, definitely more interested to see what he recommends and eats for his own health/performance
That would be just one bigass meal
That'd be amazing!!
@@dawgmanfat Head to his Instagram. He posts recipes daily.
yeah do that alex
Just found you through video recommendations and man this was exactly the video that was in line with my current thought process.
Lower rep heavier training to optimize physique and strength and I can say I’ve managed to do advanced calisthenics exercises without training for them or doing progressions by just building strength with the basics etc.
I will document my progress with mostly weighted calisthenics training in my RUclips channel
Really informative .been doing body weight for a while and have recently invested in a weight vest.slowly building up the weight.at 50yrs old I find it has helped build my strength and core tremendously.i intermix the training with body weight volume.its great to hear you're advice and I will happily let you know of my progress using you're experiences as a guide line
Awesome correct advice. Being strong and healthy is simpler than most realise.
If anyones looking for some crazy winter gpp work. Make the biggest snowman u can. It gets heavy as fk.
Zach Cat Thats what i call functional practical
ever since I started doing weighted dips, my bench shot up
Can't forget about the carry over to explosive calisthenics either. Weighted Pull-Ups will also help your muscle-ups become more explosive. Explosive Plyometric Push-Ups can potentially help your bench. It's all about surfing the Force Velocity curve.
Hey alpha, I gotta say, this is your best video you have ever done.
I have to agree, rows are awesome for the back. But I feel like my back really blew up after I was able to hit a 3 plate chin up
Sir this is gold and should be a must for any person that wants to have the best of both worlds muscle and power.
A+ with the training bro.
Started my new weighted callisthenics program
I think the main thing is progressing with weights is much easier than playing around with leverages and trying to keep it consistent.
Did I just see a 170 kg bottom position bench press? For God's sake, you're a damn beast if you can do that.
By the way, I totally agree about the weighted calisthenics. I have been training for almost 20 years, and I'm discovering this only now that I have bought a dip station at home.
I am doing a novice program and I switched barbell rows to wide grip weighted pull ups and switched close grip bench to weighted dips. It’s working great!
i started with calisthenics, then moved to weights, but now do weights with weighted and unweighted calisthenics and prefer that. I would like to experiment with changing the weight hanging position from a belt to a shoulder harness to change the leverage a little bit.
I did this for years, from 15 to about 30. I am 52 now and you have to modify when you age. Exercise is a lifetime thing and it has to change with you.
Do you have any joint paint from weighted calisthenics ?
my opinion you might not agree, but squats and deadlifts in my opinion, is a calisthetics excersise, so if dont have time to work out every muscle group just do this. pull ups, dips, squats, deadlifts and chrunches, and you will have a great physice and they are all ez to overload. i use them in my routine and its one if the more fun excersises. so i highly recommend.
One of the most informative and simply awesome videos I've seen in the last couple of years on yt.
I've never even been in a gym. Weighted calisthenics in the home is my life. Although Summer time is for freestyle! Would like to see more on the subject if you have the time. Bless.
Hey i would like to ask you is it good for muscle mass?
@@vukradulovic7888 Sure is - it's not really different from anything else. The conditions are all the same - train hard, eat right, sleep well and watch all of his videos on calisthenics. Good luck 😀
Do super high volume with Squats, push ups, dips and pull ups.
Then mix it with Weighted calisthenics, same exact exercises, load up 60-70% of your RM and still doing reps(10-20 sets with reps from 5 to 12)
This combination will get you jacked and super stronf
That’s what I’m doing now actually, glad to know I’m not being a idiot haha 😂😅
I'm 100% agree with you. I started weighted calisthenics when I saw a lot a street lifter having correct static skills without training them. Since then I love it and it's 50% of my training now. The only cons is that I notice that I gained more weight and therefore I'm a little bit heavier (even tho I'm stronger) and that can be bad for static skills.
Today is my second day of weighted pull-ups. Loved it. Probably my favorite lift. I want 30 pull ups before I ship to Parris island. Thanks Alex!
Yeah maybe this explains why Brian Alsruhe can do human flags at 235.
News reporter giving his tips on calisthenics ❤️.
I once read somewhere that moving the body through space exercises "calisthenics" have the highest neuromuscular activation, followed by compound exercises with free weights, followed by compound exercises on machines, followed by isolation exercises with free weights, followed by iso exercise on machines being the least. I've never seen a high level male gymnast who wasn't jacked.
I’m almost done making novice gains when I do I’m gonna go straight into this
5:06 This is EXACTLY what Ian Barseagle is doing right now
wow who would have known that progressive overload leads to "strength and size", dope video
I agree definitely a great hack for real progress. I've been doing a dips with about 15 to 20 lbs ofsand in a backpack and can only do 5 to 7. Then 2 days later I just did a 30 dips effortlessly with just bodyweight which I hadn't reached before. Normally 26 was the most I could do straining. So I'm definitely loving the faster strength progression.
Amazing Video. Opened my eyes. For example my best gains for my lats i made by added weights pull ups. I really wonder why i never used this principle, as well for my other Muscle groups. Thanks for the video mate. (thumbs up)
8:00 You can easily see a guy that does handstand push ups lift a lot on over head press first try, but you will never see a guy that lift a lot on over head press doing handstand push ups first try. And same with a lot of exercises, calistenics its just efficient and can be translate to other sports.
Weighted calisthenics is the best and the fastest way to build muscle. It will keep you shredded and you will constantly make more gains while working some muscles that gym goers dont even know they have.
It will also build a better looking physique. I would also want to mention gymnastic physiques like Van Gelder, Zanetti, Yovchev etc.. Isometric exercises will also do wonders
Do an end of 2018 motivational video Alex
I've found that weighted calisthenics build strength but not necessarily muscular endurance. So i break my training into weighted lifts for building strength as well as body weight calisthenics for higher reps to build the endurance.
Weighted calisthenics is also much better to train legs than calisthenics alone, by far

Use to do bodyweight workouts but went for "the yoke" now. So lifting weights now neck training

Best calisthenics video ever. Period.
Been training weighted calesthenics for only 2 weeks consistently since I got enough money to buy a weight belt and some weights. The max i can put on right now is 16kg until I can, but another weighted plate. But man, does it feel good in a strange way. My reps have dropped, halved even, and my body is reacting to it very well as when I performed bodyweight only variables I.e pull ups push ups not only can I do them effortlessly but also more explosive to right now I can perform 15 clean pull ups and 23 dips cleanly until my form breaks down. And I can't weight (yes, I'm punny like that) to add more weights on my pull-ups for more results.
I've been doing exactly this with your novice program and I'm making great gains!
I think with weighted calisthenics you can generate powerlifting strength too if you do it 5x5 or 3x8
Too bad that I can mostly do pulling weighted calisthenics movements. Dips are too painful for me and weighted push ups are hard to set up. I love weighted pull ups and do them all the time
In regards to weighted dips, check out this video ruclips.net/video/t6jZPrhA4e8/видео.html&t
Invest in a weight vest bro
@@AlexLeonidas Thanks
@@izftpvp822 It is a good tool but you can pack on limited ammounts of weight. I can bench press without any issues so I don't need to switch to weighted push ups
You can do weighted pushups in the smith machine
I love callisthenics and do weighted sometimes. I build more muscle with callisthenics than with weight lifting despite being in gym for 4 years. My body is forced to get strong with its own weight
This is major for me. I joined the gym last month and just started last week with calisthenics. Now I'm gunna go straight to weight calisthenics. I'm gunna buy a pull up-dip bar for my house. Are weighted vests good for the pull up, dip, and push up? Instead of the weights hanging from the waist in your video. Thanks again bro. I can feel gains coming.
The vest works but I always prefer the weights hanging from your hips because it’s more difficult and it feels like you are literally being pulled down into the ground, but vest is more as if you were heavier like all of a sudden you became fat or something.
Fantastic video, thanks for everything you do! I am currently considering weighted calisthenics as an addition to self defence training. Keep doing what you're doing.
Always giving good advice appreciated brother.
No bullshit man every word Alex says about weighted calisthenics is true. Like first being that weighted calisthenics have higher carryover transfer to skill based calisthenics. Like i found out on the lately i been able to do one arm push ups without even specially training for it directly. Because i do heavy 30kg weighted ring dips i also found out that i could do a 5 sec l sit hold without even specially training for it. And my bench increased from 80kg to 100kg 220lbs. It also gives a heck alot of more work capacity in other movements weather being skill based calisthenics or powerlifting or oly lifting. Third being you can get very big from it like Alex says i mean look at some guys like Adam Raw he is very big and does over his bodyweight dips.
Hello Alpha! Can you put standards on weighted calisthenics as on weightlifting? (1xBW Press, x1.5 Bench Press, x2 Squat, x2.5 Deadlift etc) Exercises are Weighted Dips, Weighted Push Ups, Weighted Chin Up). Don't ask why I need them, just need something to strive for, that's how I work... I will be very pleased if you answer😁

I got tired of asking for a spot at the gym on the benchpress so i switched to weighted dips, recently tried some dead bench and my bench press went from 245 to 295
for weighted calisthenics, to maximise more weights can you use a weight belt and a backpack at the same time?
Sure

Try the ez-vest. Weighted calisthenics made super easy! Great for these pandemic times.
Ima get me a Weighted vest for my rings right away. Great info thanks bro!
The other upside to weighted push ups is the core and quads are working too, and you can go deeper. Also, static calisthenics transition to high reps too and are really impressive looking btw dude your skill work looks fucking awesome. The weighted oap and lever were perfecto. I don't get how people can diss you man. They're just jelly
You mean, I could be gaining a couple pounds of muscle, if i suddenly add weights and do it well?

Thats it from our studio,lets See what our reporter alex has to say about this topic
Bought myself a weighted vest for Christmas. Went to a personal trainer before, asked him if he could get me good at calisthenics, he said yes. Waste of money. I'm done with that and now I'm my own pt. I'm going to be in my basement training like a super Saiyan
Friendly Topic Request: Favorite calisthenics exercises for those who have already built up a strength base practising squats, deadlifts, presses, et cetera, but want to expand their base in a way that carries (maybe) over to the aforementioned exercises?
I do use weighted chins in the gymnastic rings and LOVE those. Have been doing them for a long time, too. I assume you would recommend weighted dips and pistol squats with a weight added. Maybe do a list of 5 highly recommended such exercises. Thanks.
When you said a squat is basically weighted calisthetics .. BOOM !! That actually fucking makes sense bro lol, awesome video
