@@aalytoks9755 You can get the same hypertrophy outcomes if you're training to failure in the hypertrophy rep range using bodyweight movements. Also weighted calisthenics is a thing, stop spreading misinformation please.
@@aalytoks9755 + to me it's more fun! Doing everything super slow and hyper controlled and for high reps is boring to me. Different strokes for different folks, right?
Deficit push up is underrated...your chest will get sore after doing that (with proper form, train to failure, slow on negative rep)..you can using parallette bar or hexagonal dumbell...this is work for dips too
@@WanMuhammadAkifImanAkifanytime i do deep dips i get a sore chest. Could never replicate that with db presses tbh, no matter how much cyborg form i used
I feel my chest more stimulated and pumped doing deep pushups using platforms to get a deeper range of motion than using dumbbells or any bench press movement
The concept to keep in mind while programing your workouts is fighting off homeostasis periodically which is your bodies abilities to stay the same and become more efficient at a specific stimulus(tempo, plyo, bodybuilding etc). Changing modalities every training block will keep the body guessing and adapting which will smash through any plateaus. You can super charge this concept with the same modality twice(body building x2 or athletic perfofmance and body building)by just changing moving patterns/lifts but following the same rep scheme/intensity.
I'm. Starting to. Believe that the best training is weight and calisthenics. Calisthenics as a warm up or cool down to make your body naturally move while your working sets are with machines, weights cables etc but also exercises that follow the mosh natural movement
Yup.. people say they do a certain number of reps but they're really just cheating themselves. When you start worrying less about the numbers and focus on how you feel, on doing things perfectly and making things very difficult for yourself your gains explode.
That's true. When I started calisthenics I lack back strength which leaves me always frustrated because I'm always strong at pushing exercises but I can't do a pull up. I went to the gym and built a foundational strength for my back and I can easily do 10-12 pull ups with proper form now.
Any advice for curls? Every time I do moderate weight I feel like it takes 3-4 days recovery because of DOMS. I curl 30s & 25s at 150 body weight and can't extend my arms all the way!
@@CardinalsFanBoy then do less so u need less recovery time! Perhaps the total volume for the biceps is too great because of ur Vertical pulls AND curls. It differs a bit per person.
@@zeyy84Calisthenics athletes look better , particularly weighted calisthenics , bodybuilders look more dense but I think the ultimate warrior is when you combine both and pair it with jump roping, running, sprinting, and yoga before bed, throw some boxing and wrestling in there and you’ll be a super soldier ! Haha! 🙌🦅🦉🇵🇸
It’s weird when I was doing calisthenics I could do 8 one arm pushups in each arm but could only bench press 225 for a couple reps Now since I’ve been lifting so much more I can bench 225 for 8-10 reps and can barely do a 1 arm push up now Lifting makes me tight and achey
Id rather just do controlled but not super slow and add weights, im not gonna do 15 reps of super slow pull ups, ill add 10kg and do 8 reps of normal speed
People do this because they know calisthenics from martial arts or military, where they do the basic variation, 200+ reps, so people that don't like doing that much just get satisfied at 30, and stop doing it
Nop.... if you can do 20 perfect dips, doing 12 very slow dips instead has no extra benefits... Fast but perfect form reps are completely OK.... Adding weights or low rep hard movements are also the best way to progress... He's right about basics... even if you can do 30 reps, always add basics to your routine...
Not "difficult" ... but HARDER. Not the same thing or meaning. only fools love difficulty for its own sake, harder as in the pause he shows, is not more DIFFICULT it is just HARDER.
Yep 3sec eccentrics, full ROM, slight pause at the bottom and exploding on the concentric are unknown to a lot of people
Which is sad to say cause they’re missing out on the burn it gives
Waste of time, just use weights instead easier and more hypertrophy

Humbling and a massive reality check tbh💯
You know what else is massive?
I do believe you are one of the most qualified person to be getting information on how to train properly.
Stay Awesome!

Fr, i feel even better stimulus than db bench press doing push up on ring
Bring Sally Up 💪
I do it on top of dip bars😂😂
@@WanMuhammadAkifImanAkifanytime i do deep dips i get a sore chest. Could never replicate that with db presses tbh, no matter how much cyborg form i used
Actually just any block or big books work in a pinch.
The weight belt around the legs for nordics is genius 👌🏼
Nice catch I haven’t considered tgat
Totally agree. I still use push ups with strict tempo and I love the way it has improved my chest and my shoulder mobility/stability.
I think combining both is the golden path. Not one or the other.
eventually you will evolve to jus the rings, it will change your entire physique
Yep even the basic movements can become difficult with adjustments and tweaks.
Just added a pause at the bottom of my dips yesterday, game changer! Love the channel mate.
I feel my chest more stimulated and pumped doing deep pushups using platforms to get a deeper range of motion than using dumbbells or any bench press movement
I like seeing new ways to rig equipment for different workouts, ie… the lifting belt around the bench for holding down ankles.
Thanks! 👍

Nevermind the discussion The Nordic curls using a belt to strap yourself to the bench looks really cool
a lot of big bodybuilders in the gym cannot do 100 pushups, cannot do 10 pull ups, etc. these are the exercises that form the foundations of strength.
New guy: i just started calistenics last month i can now do 50 pushups! wow
Veteran: I have been training for 20 years, I can do 10 pushups
So glad to hear you say this. Some of my mates are like really, you still do pushups?
i like it where do i sign up
Yup.. people say they do a certain number of reps but they're really just cheating themselves. When you start worrying less about the numbers and focus on how you feel, on doing things perfectly and making things very difficult for yourself your gains explode.
I'm interested, how do you set up that Nordic Curl?
Clip an empty weight belt around a bench, boom.
It's easy to to 10 kipping pull ups, it's really hard to 5 full range of motion super slow and controlled pull ups.
Calisthenics will never not be difficult. People are avoiding the hurt stuff.
There are actually some exercises I need weights because I'm too weak to use my body.
What exercises do you need to use weights for?
That's true. When I started calisthenics I lack back strength which leaves me always frustrated because I'm always strong at pushing exercises but I can't do a pull up. I went to the gym and built a foundational strength for my back and I can easily do 10-12 pull ups with proper form now.
People don't realize how impressive those Nordics are
"Calisthenics too easy" - absolutely no one ever
I dare some of the weightlifters to do 30 full range of motion pushups (chest touches the floor and elbows lockout at the top).
agreed this is very hard
Any advice for curls? Every time I do moderate weight I feel like it takes 3-4 days recovery because of DOMS. I curl 30s & 25s at 150 body weight and can't extend my arms all the way!
We need more info. In a session, how many sets do you do? Until absolute failure? Which exercises etc...
@@CardinalsFanBoy then do less so u need less recovery time!

rep quality over number
i feel like humans are gonna evolve in doing pushups
Calesthetics had more muscle power then body building
But body building gives more size

Anyone who calls calisthenics easy is just clueless and weak
Stop lying, you will add weights or you are doomed to become the skinny endurance guy
No, you.
Who said it was too easy lol
Why not just fill a backpack with bags of rice for weighted dips though?
