So at the moment I'm about 70kg, I've just recently started my weighted calisthenics journey and pulling like 18 kg which I'm thinking is pretty good.I know I can do more but I'm taking my time 👍🏾
Yep 1:28, that was the first thing I notice about CALISTHENICS community. They all look very aesthetic pleasing, balance and "natural" healthy. Compare to: - Olympic Bodybuilding community = pregnant ninja turtle. - Powerlifting = To be honest, they just look fat with clothes on. (I mean sure they are strong, but... at the same time hairy and not aesthetic pleasing to women.) - General gym members = Sometimes they have oversized biceps (huge arm) and then small narrow back... 😕 Or big chest and weak delt / shoulders
When doing weighted pull ups/dips etc how long rest breaks do you take in between sets ? I always struggle with this either I wait to long or don’t wait long enough and I can’t even finish the set
It depends. If you're training in strength rep ranges (1-5 reps/set and high intensity) then rest periods of 5+ minutes can be very effective so your muscles are rested enough to produce as much force as possible and perform at their best. If your rest periods are too short then you are likely not getting the most out of the exercise. There's no such thing as resting too much if your goal is brute strength and this is why you see elite powerlifters resting up to 20 minutes between heavy sets in order to make the most out of each rep. For sets of about 5 to 10 reps, rests of 3-5 minutes can work very well, and rests of about 2 minutes can work very well if the intensity is even lower (10+ reps/set).
I've recently started a weighted calisthenics program and it's going pretty good I think. I love it man,I actually do more weighted chin ups than pull-ups. I find that it's easier on my joints. I like this video because it tells me that I was going a bit to hard on my weighted pulls and dips
I love weighted chinups but for me theyre the worst variation for my elbows. Right now Im doing neutral grip mostly and it seems to be the most healthy for my joints but Im the strongest on chin ups
I do weighted wide-grip pullups, shoulder-width chinups, and close neutral-grip pullups. The difficulty from hardest to easiest is also in that order for me! Fortunately I don't experience any pain/discomfort with any of them... but I sure can do a lot more weighted pullups with a neutral grip versus a wide pronated grip.
Philippians 1:6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
I just switched back to weighted calisthenics bro I'm in love wit it, When I saw more Improvement in my training I switched back. I had to come to the realization that calisthenics is more of my Forte then weight training, I just got to 4 plates (180lb) on my pull-ups I almost did a full rep still on three plates with dips can do 5 reps for I need to make adjustments soon but good information fam appreciate u Gratitude 💪🏾🧡✨️
If you start getting joint pain in a lift, take 2 weeks and rep out with an elastic band that's more supportive than you think you need. It'll give your body time to adapt your tendons or rehab an injury and you can keep most of your gains.
Great vid man, imma on my way back after almost half a year of no upper body training due to elbows problems. So decided to add weighted cali into my workout plan. Any joints-care tips from your experience? Thanks a lot
i really agree, 3 months ago i started doing calisthenics only 5 exercises, pushups, pullups, dips, squats, and situps. My Strenght changed like really, from 15 pushups before 3 months to now 70 to 90 pushups in a row no stopping. But i've been reading some videos that it only trains endurance so i tried today. 20kg with a bag. I did 40 pushups in a row. its really amazing. i'm now only doing weighted calisthenics except situps
@@Eruptor1000 yes only 70 pushups absolute strict form all the way to the bottom to the top, i can do 90 just speeding it up a little. I never reached 100 which is my goal, thats why im doing weighted.
Your content is very high quality. Have you had much success with regards to strength and hypertrophy gains with relatively low load (think weight vest) high repetition squats, providing you're going close to failure?
So when you do heavy sets is that intense or is it intense when it’s high reps what is better for building muscle and what defines intense because surley all exercises should be intense
It was master shredda in New York that be on good money RUclips channel who really opened my eyes to calisthenic more then stipke and a few others got me on weighted Pullups dips and etc
Weighted hanging scapula depressions with lifting straps for the win. This shirt range of motion can easily become your heaviest movement. This will eliminate the scapula elivating during high intensity sets for both weighted pull ups and dips. Weighted Scapula depressions done off of rings will be more specific for dips. I super set weighted hanging scapula depressions with barbell shrugs, with lifting straps. Don't be surprised if you can do well over 2x your body weight for 3 sets of 30 reps in less than a year. The strength potential is so high I never go heavier than 20 rep sets.
Started weighted calisthenics last November. Followed a steploading proticol. Weighing 70kg. Now i am 77kg. Weighted pull up is 42 kg for 5 sets of 3 Weighted dips 50kg for 5sets of 5 Ring dips. 20kg for 5sets of 5 Ex professional athlete so starting from a good place. But progress has been really good. Suggest step loading. Dominc sky has a good video about it
I switched to calisthenics once I realized my hand position on the barbell was the main cause of my shoulder pain. A benefit of calisthenics is more natural movements.
Soo funny dragon ball z was your influence was my exact thought process. I tried to do 1,000 reps of everything and then increase resistance, but with specific movements cut it back to 500,250, 100 and 50, and obviously was a progressive routine over weeks before increased resistance. But love the content man. I’m betting though within few years you will fall in love with heavy barbell squats/deadlifts if haven’t yet because what happened to me.
Thanks bro I got the negative one arm pull up and a few other excecrises I have mastered and my question was . What if I just stick to weighted pull ups??? You answered it thanks
Thx a million, this was exactly the video I needed. I´ve been doing weighted calisthenics for over 8 months and have progressed very fast doing pull-ups and dips reaching 34 kg and 1repMAX of 40 kg. I was ready for new guidance how to progress to the next stage and your video was a godsend.
A question I have is how you should separate your routine in calisthenics, in general. Is it better to full-body or doing back-biceps and tríceps-chest days?
It depends on a lot of factors... how much time and energy you have to train and how well you personally recuperate is what actually dictates the best one to use.
Full body 3 times per week. Higher frequencies are generally better for strength. You can also do upper/lower 6 days per week if your sessions get too long with full body.
I’m trying to get to do pull ups 12 reps with an extra 35 pounds but I feel kinda stuck at 7-8 reps, should I just increase the weight and go to do 3 reps?
Thats a great video, brother! I find it difficult to manage my training days and off days. Could you tell me how often do you train in a week and how many off days between workouts do you take? Thank you!
@@B4FleXnah. Look at his 1-3.5 year progression. Dude made ten years of gains in that short ammount of time… as an ECTOMORPH!!! And we all know ectos gain muscle at half the speed of mesomorphs & endomorphs. Austin might be off the stuff now, given that he’s now noticably smaller. But he deffo werent natural back then. The dudes a liar. He’s a buisnessman first, fitness coach second.
My system is 2 x 5-7, 2 x 3-5. If I get to the higher number, increase the weight, if I can’t get to the lower number, reduce the weight. Ideally you should fail between the two or upon making the lower number. I have gained 10 lbs each week on Pull Up and Chin up so far
@@wallesdrop3026 I've changed up a little bit since then. I do 4 sessions a week, typically 4 sets for the major compounds, but it depends. I've also had a bit of stagnation in terms of increasing weight, I think those massive increases were just because i was new to it.

Great vid man, imma on my way back after almost half a year of no upper body training due to elbows problems. So decided to add weighted cali into my workout plan. Any joints-care tips from your experience? Thanks a lot
be sure to warmup your wrist tendons properly before upper body exercises, they are often the cause of elbow pain
Warmup, don't bang your joints, control the negatives, take a joint care supplement.
hows it goin?
Beast training 🥶

@MNO he looks about 190 to me he big maybe 189 something like that his built like a animate sayain
Very valuable info dude! Pure gold. Everyone needs a guru like you.💥
facts, i listen to this guy all the times when it really matters because what he says allways matters 💪
With weighted calisthenics, you're basically powerlifting your own body
Bro your form is not good at all, i am talking especially about your Dips and Pull ups... Check it and adjust your form for the future.

30 secs or less for me
So when you do heavy sets is that intense or is it intense when it’s high reps what is better for building muscle and what defines intense because surley all exercises should be intense
Both would be beneficial. Time under tension is key.
i do 3×5-7 and my back has grown rapidly in just 2-3 months, I didn't even realize this development was so fast😂 (i smashed 25kg × 5 reps)

for weighted calisthenics, to maximise more weights can you use a weight belt and a backpack at the same time?
Yes
@james...even the World champion doesn't do that. LOL.
This is amazing content! Do you have a training program for beginners? Love the DBZ reference too :)
I switched to calisthenics once I realized my hand position on the barbell was the main cause of my shoulder pain. A benefit of calisthenics is more natural movements.
How much weight do you need...20kg, 25kg....? I mean with vest
bruuh i'm stuck with 20kg pull ups for 1reps what can i do even is i can do 10 pull ups in a good form

This goes for everyone do you guys know about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
whats your training split
Very informative & motivational, thank you! 🤜🔥🤛
How many reps in reserve do you do in the first set, or do you go to failure in every set?
Thank you for your informations. I am gonna start weighted calisthenics and this video is a great guide to follow😀💯❤️❤️
Where did you buy your belt with the chain and weights? Thank you.
How u Can have résultats with 3 reps ?
Yo man..do you ever do weights in the gym or you just do calisthenics???
Both
3:01 Bros struggling from success
Drop sets work great for me. So im starting with 1rep max weight. Then drop like 1/3 of the weight and immediately go for max reps and repeat.
how long is your break in between sets?
It makes sense to just do 3x3 or 3x5 or 6 sets and reps since that's basically on the strength range
DBZ inspired 💪👏
You had my like after dragon ball z
What about legs dude ?
he literally did weighted one legged squats in the vid derp
doing push ups with a bag on your back is very good too, but you gotta get your posture right.
