So after 4 years of weight lifting I stopped cause of quarantine and bought rings a pull up bar and parallette bars and I ain't going back to the gym anymore.This is way more fun and harder.
Most of the time I feel I haven't progressed in my calisthenics, but it's people like you Austin that keep me motivated to keep goin and never give up, it's hard asf for me but imma keep pushing 💯💯
@@techauro8346 And also it goes beyond the estethics aspect of bodybuilding cause you train your body and muscles to be stronger with great stamina so they can be useful in regular life
Depends on what your goal is. If it's purely size then you shouldn't stop lifting weights because regular bodybuilding has some advantages over calisthenics when it comes to size. You could combine the two for optimal results though in size, strength and performance
First of all You are right i got chicken legs, but this is mainly because my goal is to achieve these skills and not have a great body. It is just a nice side effect. However i do train my legs more often nowadays. Secondly, the Mass of your legs doenst really determin the difficulty of a planche of a front lever. It is more about the length of your legs which makes it much more harder. So i probebly still would be able to perform those skills. Unless if i gaines really heavy feets, in that case planche would be harder yes.
I know you probably ain’t gonna see this but I’ve been a skinny toothpick my entire life and tomorrow that’s gonna change, this video is gonna be my start and maybe one day I’ll get to your level, great video man
Hey me too my guy, i used $1400 for a bench a bar and some weights plus protein powder and creatine and ive been working out for about 2 months and ive already seen amazing progress. You just gotts push ur self man
I started calisthenics in early June doing push ups on my kitchen counter now I can do regular ones and now I’m working towards the pull up Edit: about last month finally got my first first chin up and can do 4 in a row on a good day and I have been doing ring push ups which have increased my strength with push ups quite well and I’m currently trying to build the strength for dips which shouldn’t take me more than a month or two
its like a video game, the more you play, the more you level up, in 2 months you're gonna be like holy sht look at all this progress .... keep going !! Im working on 1 arm pullups...
@@Drm. Damn, you're lucky i checked my messages on yt. Thanks for asking . My current strenght - Muscle up + 25kg ( with a bit of kip , bending legs) 15 clean muscle ups ( no kip no momentum) 40 pull ups and a Pull up + 70kg
Quick question I’m still confused on as I’m transitioning. Is Calisthenics performed back to back similar to HIIT training? Or do you rest after each set like weight training?
I’ve been doing calisthenics for about 4 months and it’s been really helpful. But in that time I have increased +25lbs and I intend to keep bulking until December. I think i will start going to the gym for that reason.
This is good for the average joe trying to get into shape. You should release a similar click baity video like this near New Years. You could really help a lot of people. You helped me get a one arm pull up and that makes you more qualified than 99% of people on the internet.
I went from barely 10 to 30 pull-ups fully extended this quarantine among my other workouts. I went from curling 30 to now 80. I went from. 192 to 157 strictly from weight training, upping my protein, calorie deficit, and walking 2-3 hours a day.
The pull up is one of the big four. But I would argue that bodyrows are also in the big four or should I say five. Because it's easier for beginners to develop their pulling strength. Hehehe...
The tough part is tht most ppl don't have a place to do it... I so have a pullup bar in the house... thinking of buying some rings and I can start doing them.... also can't do dips ;( don't have a place for it or nothing strong enough to use ;C
@@Kshdhdmshehyd ye my chairs ain't sturdy enough for tht ;( They prob will break... haven't found any other item in my house tht I can use... but im doing all the other workouts but just not dips.... which I want to but can't figure out atm
Hi Graeme. On behalf of all calisthenics enthusiasts encouraging newbies to start their own bodyweight journey, THANK YOU. Inverted rows are in fact better suited than pull ups for complete novice. A forgotten exercise even within the calisthenics community that doesn't get the credit it really deserves
Congrats, Henos. I had a similar experience. Another calithenics RUclipsr inspired me to start bodyweight training and haven't stopped ever since. That was back in 2015 💪
Great explanation! Been doing Calisthenics for about 4 years now. Most "Beginner Calisthenics videos" do not go into this type of detail. There are so many things like this that I wish I knew when I first started. Also, I will probably be getting that scale.
You should make a video for the best in home calisthenics equipment. I’m in the ARMY and it’s hard to find the time to go to the gym and it would be awesome to know what to get to workout at home.
Great video man. I have been doing pullups these days. 50 each day and i progressed from 8 pullups to 21 pullups in one go in a month. Now i gotta work on my pushup and squats. I gotta checkout some training program for beginners. And keep motivating man. 💪
*Bro once I started calisthenics but because I can't see any GAINS so I started bodybuilding now I'm 19 year's old bodybuilder 😊💪 and have some gains and I never Skip Leg day 🙏*
Love the video Austin. I think you should turn this into a series and go more in depth into beginner calisthenics. You spoke about balancing out horizontal/vertical push and pull exercises, I think a video giving examples of beginner exercises to balance out a routine would be really beneficial!
I can’t do many regular push-ups with good form yet so I’m using the wall and my knees. One day I’ll lose this body fat and I’ll being doing all the crazy stuff too.
I think you should try it out first and see what you can do and go up from there. For example, maybe try pushups with 20 lbs and if it's easy go up, and if it's hard, go down. Once you find that weight that's good for you, train with it until you're confident to go up. Good luck!
Great video AD. I've had two of those exact scales from your suggestion years ago. Unfortunately they both had issues. One just stop working, and the other malfunctioned, and ran through batteries like crazy. They look great, but I wasn't going to try my hand for a third time... 🤴🏿
I never thought about how these static movements could strenghten tendons. I guess if longevity is an important thing for you, skill training in cali and stretching might be the answer.
Kalis meaning body and thenos meaning beauty and physique in greek..... Or yeah your definition works too bro! 🙏🏽 Much love! I might start moving to show my own journey on my Channel ChaijoTV
Bro I have some tips. 1. Stretch very nicely. Take your time to stretch and do some warmup dips and chinups. Do scapulas before doing any chinups. 2. Dont use weights. For beginners dont use any weights until u can do a good amount. 3. Focus on your flexibility and try some gymnastic moves. 4. Eat well. Take lots of protein. As a beginner dont focus on a diet and train more instead. Later on you can start a diet. 5. Dont try any new moves or intermediate moves. Focus on strengthening your body muscles. 6. Be patient and dont move very fast. Try moving slowly. I experienced these same problems when I started calisthenics and I know how it feels.
If you're just starting, it's most likely your mind-muscle connection contributing to injuries/imbalances. Isometric(static) holds will help a ton to help turn on muscles. Not to mention, if you have bad posture because you sit at a desk all day, you'll want to fix that first. Remember, quality over quantity at the beginning, once your form starts to go to much, stop. However, you need to learn the form first and static holds help tremendously for this.
How about a guide wich you explain more detailed about progression. Like, i train for one year now, and looks like i stoped to progress. Not in strength, but more for my body shape, i can't see any muscle growth.
I would say eat more, and do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. Train to failure. I say eat more if you prioritize muscle or skills training. Your skills will be harder to do, but will still build muscle, you just wont be able to hold as long. always keep in mind in, if its hard your going to build muscle.
I dislocated my shoulder when I pushed the last rep in a pull up and handstand push up I have a tendency to dislocate my shoulder ever since I think I landed on my shoulder when trying to do a wheelie on my longboard when I was a teenager Now I'm kinda scared to push it when doing bodyweight exercises, so I can't really reach my full potential I'm in decent shape, but have terrible posture
What would recommend for someone who is overweight and wants to start calisthenics to lose weight and get stronger? Is that a good approach or is weight lifting better?
Hi Yuvi. A good place to start is to include both pushups AND inverted rows. Thesee 2 alone will lay a great foundation for you to develop a stronger upper body. I recently made a video for people working towards their first pullup. I'm sure it will help you achieve your goal soon. Keep believing, brother 💪 ;)

I feel the same way bro 😹🙌
I just wonder like did your muscle grow the most in a gym or in calisthenic
Found a calisthenics park 5 min. away from my house this past week. This video is perfect timing!
The ones in my city are closed bc Covid :(
Most of the time I feel I haven't progressed in my calisthenics, but it's people like you Austin that keep me motivated to keep goin and never give up, it's hard asf for me but imma keep pushing 💯💯
Why do u feel like that? Do u keep track of what ever it is that you're doing to notice if there's progress at all?
I'm seriously thinking of letting go the gym and starting to do only calisthenics and weighted calisthenics. Seems much more useful and cool.
U get stronger too
It's cheaper more fun and you dont have to worry about weight amounts
@@techauro8346 And also it goes beyond the estethics aspect of bodybuilding cause you train your body and muscles to be stronger with great stamina so they can be useful in regular life

I started with calisthenics About 2 Years ago and achieving the planche was the best Thing ever
ahh man I see it in your vids looks good. I hope I also achieve it one day
You got chicken legs mate
@@some1udontknow953 if you had chicken legs you would not be able to do it anyway

Thanks for the advise.
Great video. Quick question... where should I start? Like... is there a good app that will help someone from day one?
Thanks I rlly needed this :))
I just started a month ago. Getting injuries in elbow , knees ,muscle imbalances. This is hard. Any tips for muscle imbalances as a begineer?
include unilateral exercises to help with the muscle imbalance
Injuries are probably poor form or you are progressing to fast, as in you arnt ready for that exercise yet even though it seems like u can
Bro I have some tips.
1. Stretch very nicely. Take your time to stretch and do some warmup dips and chinups. Do scapulas before doing any chinups.
2. Dont use weights. For beginners dont use any weights until u can do a good amount.
3. Focus on your flexibility and try some gymnastic moves.
4. Eat well. Take lots of protein. As a beginner dont focus on a diet and train more instead. Later on you can start a diet.
5. Dont try any new moves or intermediate moves. Focus on strengthening your body muscles.
6. Be patient and dont move very fast. Try moving slowly.
I experienced these same problems when I started calisthenics and I know how it feels.
Don’t try too many advanced moves. Master all the basic moves, than try em with weights. Using intermediate moves too fast will cause a lot of injury.
If you're just starting, it's most likely your mind-muscle connection contributing to injuries/imbalances. Isometric(static) holds will help a ton to help turn on muscles. Not to mention, if you have bad posture because you sit at a desk all day, you'll want to fix that first. Remember, quality over quantity at the beginning, once your form starts to go to much, stop. However, you need to learn the form first and static holds help tremendously for this.
Austin do you do weight isolate training on top of calisthenics? Your physique says it.

How about a guide wich you explain more detailed about progression. Like, i train for one year now, and looks like i stoped to progress. Not in strength, but more for my body shape, i can't see any muscle growth.
Start doing weighted calisthenics. The only way to build is with working to hypertrophy and adding resistance to get there. And of course eating right
I would say eat more, and do 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. Train to failure. I say eat more if you prioritize muscle or skills training. Your skills will be harder to do, but will still build muscle, you just wont be able to hold as long. always keep in mind in, if its hard your going to build muscle.
