    Thanks for the spreadsheet idea, I've been using a spreadhsheet for 2 months now and it's been extremely useful! One tip for consistency: Color your row in green when you show up, in yellow for your rest days and in red when you skip. Having a more obvious visual clue of your consistency will help you increase it a lot!

    As someone who has taken ideas from CC for years, getting the stand to stand, pistol squat, and now one arm pushups as a supplement for contortion/b-boy etc type goals: the missing link in getting the Stand to Stand bridge is reducing the number of steps you make with your hands over time. Once you can get to the floor and back up in a single hand on the wall it's basically just there for moral support.

      And i also agree with your new programming and deciding to do a variation of each exercise every day of the week i think you will see much faster progress. Can you give us an update about your progress with your new programming? Very interested to see the difference in rate of progress between the two.

    Thanks a lot for this real life report! It makes much more sense then all those vids from super trained mens health cover models.
    About the closing bridge (step 9): I managed to get to this stage and I figured out its mainly a leg thing. Seeing your leg strength it shouldnt be a problem for you.
    The trick is to lean contolled backwards more and more while maintaining 80% pressure on the front foot (and toes). And this is only possible (as Paul Wade writes) by moving the knees ever further forward. In this way the only thing that can happen is that you collapse ´forward´ with your knees touching the ground first and then your butt and then your back, which is not a problem or harmful (as long as you don´t have knee torsion problems), in comparison to ´just fall backwards head first´. Further more I advise a wide stand and placing your hands firmly just above the bottox, thumbs (almost) touching. Then when you´re low enough quickly extend your arms and catch yourself in the bridge (with time you aim for more control). An elevated ´landing surface´ can also help for starters, but watch out: it needs to be surprisingly close. Last point: you can place a folded towel in the center of the landing surface to protect your skull from bouncing on a hard floor (also here: the landing distance is remarkebly close). Good luck!

    Slow and steady wins the race. Im 59yrs old. Ive been working out since I was your age or younger. I wouldn't go above 160. I was once 155. After 50yrs old its harder to get the weight off. I went up to 199 once. Way to heavy for me. I felt like a slug, wasn't agile. But im down to 177. Keep your agility. Dont lose it. Im getting mine back. Look long term. I didnt think of being over 50yrs. Its there before you know it. Great progress for you. Enjoyed your vids.

  • @sensortowerrush
    @sensortowerrush 10 месяцев назад

    A little late to the party but for anyone struggling with pistol squats.... go back and master uneven squats....take mini steps between close squats and uneven. This will strengthen the shin and hip flexor while stretching the hamstring and allow you to manage the rest of the progressions fully. Master the SLOW uneven squats and you will have a solid and springy bottom position!!

    I've been doing Convict Conditioning for some time two-ish years ago, but added elements from gymnastics (Overcoming Gravity, Building the gymnastics body), Ido Portals early workouts and a handful of calisthenic youtubers since then. It's nice to see what just sticking to CC does for you, I've always been curious how effective it really is in the long run.

    @fgv3357 4 года назад +1

    8:15 i'm currently at the horizontal pulls. I also thought it was impossible. I started at 5 reps, it surprised me how weak my back was. (Coming off of an injury)
    My first ever convict conditioning workout was:
    Horizontal pulls. Did 3x5
    Full handstand hold against the wall. 1m40sg (later i started from progression number 1, since i didn't want to rush things.)
    Half bridges (didn't write down how many, i guess 20)
    Now i'm at 18 horizontal pull resp. Granted i didn't workout some days because of many reasons and that delayed things.
    I'm close to 20 and it's just 10 more reps for 30. I can do it.
    One thing about CC is that it's slow. And it's designed that way to prevent injury and make your joints stronger too. You have to suck it up, there's no way arround it.

    • @fgv3357
      @fgv3357 4 года назад +1

      12:40 i just got to that progression and did 2min the first time. I did free standing handstands in the past so i guess my shoulders are strong for that. The furthest i got were half handstand pushups. All of this before i injured my back doind front levers.

  • @trevorrogers6526
    @trevorrogers6526 4 года назад +4

    See the Convict Conditioning video, and comments, on Prime Video, it recommends using a bar at sternum height, which I found possible to reach the 3x30 progression level. I wasted 3 months trying the book suggested hip height bar.

    • @RaymondBurton
      @RaymondBurton 4 года назад +2

      The book says AT LEAST hip height. That's something I missed at first and couldn't hit the progression. I've adjusted the bar higher (using a squat rack) and can drop the bar height over time if desired.

  • @natalielambert4378
    @natalielambert4378 3 года назад +7

    With respect your repetitions are too fast by the book. For a push up for example it's 2 seconds down, hold 1 second at hardest point, 2 seconds up and only rest within the hold and no bouncing or stopping in the movement apart from the hold. I sometimes do more than this and some times less if I am changing it up. I will have to check to be sure but I am pretty sure it's in the book otherwise that seems to be the general advice with calisthenics. If you slow it down you will likely gain more muscle as well as strength, that being said it looks like you have gained a fair bit of muscle and no doubt a fair bit more strength. Keep training convict :)

  • @fr33k1o
    @fr33k1o 5 лет назад +1

    I agree, that wall handstand for 2 minutes is killer! Best to do at the start of your workout always gets me 10 extra seconds. My best is 70 second, but like you i started doing half handstand pushups. I feel the progression standards sometimes have to be taken lightly, same with the horizontal pullups. 3x30 seems impossible. All in all good work mate, ive been doing it for 5 months now, and just feel stronger and more mobility. Not so much muscle gains but still good progress, all the best!

    • @fr33k1o
      @fr33k1o 5 лет назад

      Also mate. If you want to switch it up. I do 2 excersises every day and 7th day rest. And also every workout do all the other excersises but just 1 set or couple reps.
      So day 1 and 4: pushups and legraises
      Day 2 and 5: squats and pullups
      Day 3 and 6: bridges and handstands
      So you work every musclegroup twice a week
      And do the other excersises for 1 set or 10 reps
      Just an idea, goodluck

    I did handstands a lot in Iyengar yoga. Getting the arms straight was stressed in those classes. It looks to me like your elbows are a bit bent. I'm thinking that if you can get your arms straight and "stack" your bones that holding it for 2 minutes will be possible.

    hi. nice video. I am new to CC, but it's been 7 months now training on the new blood program. You mention that you had trouble with horizontal pulls progression. It's been the same for me (I am still on this step after 20-something weeks), but I am a FAT dude and that's causing me too much trouble. I am currently doing 15,15,10,10,6 (that's more sets than prescribed). I started the first training with 1 set of 7 reps and started building up. Currently I am doing 56 in 5 sets total. My goal is to do 4 sets of 15, 3 sets of 20, and then to move up. I am prepared to take my time on this, but it's hard exercise (especially when you have extra fat). However my biceps have already shown improvement in shape and (a little) in size. My opinion from watching your video is that you are progressing too fast. Maybe it's easier for you because you don't have much extra weight, but if you take the time the impossible progressions will eventually be passed. Well, you will probably not go back and redo this, but for other dudes just starting out - TAKE YOUR TIME.

      Maybe you figured it out already. I hope this is the correct word, but I have cartilage injury (???) in my right knee. Even bout an electric mountainbike because of the pain. Began to do several exercises to stabilize the knee. Was much to weak. Also the pistol squats but training told me I have to stick to box pistol squats (half pistol squats). If I go lower, the pain returns instantly. But, could sell the e-bike and bought a normal one. When I do the leg exercises twice a week, no more pain when I go cycling! So try if you you want to know. Not everybody is the same. And listen to your body. Good luck!

    You are too fast!Try to make the routines slower.3 seconds up,3 seconds down.You will fell the difference .It is much harder.The secret of getting stronger and bigger is "time under tension".Try to keep the muscles under tension longer,even above 3 seconds.And you can apply this with dumbells and the barbell too.I started this program 2 years ago ,but after a while ,i stopped because of my health.I started again and after a month I can see the difference although I am only at the beginning.I am stronger and my arms are as big as when I was training at the gym and did not know about this "muscle under tension" secret.Yes ,this is one of the biggest secrets of bodybuilding.You do not need huge weights or sophisticated machines. So keep the muscle under tension for as long as you can while moving .It is much harder for you to train this way.I will post a photo of myself when I will be satisfied with my progress.
