Personally, I train legs with weights (Eventhough I do calisthenics mainly, I really enjoy training legs with weights) and do only lateral raises sometimes as shoulder abduction isn't purely carried out with calisthenics. Doing lateral raises is quite beneficial as it hits one of the rotator cuff muscles as well along with developing the lateral belt. Great video and glad to see someone who isn't dogmatic!
Weights for legs really is the only way IMO. Bodyweight leg exercises are great, for example, I love Nordics and I have a lot of respect for anybody that can do pistol squats (I can't). Glad you liked it, Ali!
Do combo of weighted Calisthenics and Weightlifting for my training to achieve hypertrophy on my body recomp journey. Along with that I still play basketball & flag football, do plyometrics/sprints on the track & football field and I just incorporated boxing into my regimen. To sum it up, I'm a hybrid athlete as they call it now and I love it! However, I wanna be able to do muscle ups, handstand pushups & front levers for calisthenics, then join the 1000 club for lifting.
I want to know your opinion about this routine I made with the help of a friend! Monday: Handstand work Support hold 3x Assisted dips 3x (Ring) push-ups 2x Rear delt flies myo reps Suitcase carries 3x Wednesday: (Weighted) pull-ups 3x Dead hang 3x Dumbbell bicep curls 2x Sprint HIIT training 7 intervals Friday: Barbell deadlift 3x Pistol squats 2x Reverse nordic curls 2x Nordic curls 2x Leg extensions 2x Seated calf raises myo reps
This is quality and simple which I like, but because you can only train 3x per week, have you considered an upper /lower split so you can hit more volume? I have some thoughts here that you might want to consider: ruclips.net/video/xMT77diYxH0/видео.html
Loved this video mate! I am very beginner to calisthenics movements so will definitely work on those first for like 80-90% but eventually start adding weightlifting to it
One of the most interesting exposes I've seen on how you combine the two, a lot of other channels videos have simply just shown a workout and not really explained why they've programmed it the way they have. One thing that I think could be improved is the background music, it sounds like stock music that no one would ever choose to listen to (sorry if you did actually commission a musician to compose it)
Glad you liked the video! And yeah I won't lie, this is definitely stock music. There isn't much of a budget behind these videos I'm afraid. Hopefully the content makes the video bearable 😋
How you choose to incorporate weights into your training is up to you, but personally, if you have enough time in your session to add weights in, do it in the same session
Great video Andrew, would be intrigued to see how much you can bench press for example now that you can do a handstand (without training with high weights!!)
50/50 i try to keep it 50/50. Monday: Chest and Back Cali Tuesday: Arm and Shoulders Cali. But I’m heavy right now so If I use weights it’s barbell. Like I can’t do hand stands yet so I do barbell presses. I supplement my lack of chin ups with barbell curls and tricep pull downs. Wednesday: Plyometrics then leg day with eights. Thursday: Chest and Back weights. I’ll alternate to free weights every other week. Friday: Shoulders and Arms is all free weights. Saturday: cardio day.
That's a well rounded routine! Is the plan to keep it 50/50, or will you dial up the calisthenics as you get stronger at things like handstands/ chin ups etc?
After my operation, I am going back fully to rings workouts for upper body, use them to regain some size in legs and go back to gym for lower body. It is just much easier to do lower body in gym, rings will do me wonders for upper body :)
@@CaliToTheCrowd On Thursday, just and in an out same day kind of operation. Will regain fill range of motion and I'll be able to invest meow time into skills!
Would u think doing a weighted workout for example say I’m doing weighted squats then after do body weighted squats until failer work for building muscle for calasthenics?
You'd get a lot of volume from doing that, but you may find you struggle to recover and you use up a lot of time. Training to failure is not absolutely necessary to elicit muscle growth and so I would just settle for getting close to failure with a decent amount of weight =]
Thanks for this, Andrew. I'm a newbie to Calisthenics and it's good to see how you can incorporate different training modalities. One thing that appeals about Calisthenics however, is the at home nature of them. I do also have a kettlebell, so would love to hear if there are any exercises using that which would transfer over to calisthenic training. Also, not sure if you've done a video for this already, but since you mentioned playing football twice a week, is there a recommended level of cardio to incorporate that is beneficial. I tend to start my days with a short run (about 3k). However, there is a lot written about cardio vs strength/musle building. I'm sure my tiny run each day isn't going to rock the boat on that, but on the opposite side, should I be looking to increase it? I do occasionally do a longer run on the weekends (around 8-10k). Is there any benefit/drawback of including steady state cardio (or even HIIT) into a routine for calisthenic results/performance?
Really great suggestions, Nick. Will definitely get these into the video backlog. On the cardio front, it's an interesting point. Football / HIIT vs aerobic cardio will have different effects on body composition. Football (lots of sprints), will likely ENCOURAGE muscle growth, but it will also lead to bigger/heavier legs (not ideal for calisthenics). But these two football games is all the cardio I do (though I average 11-13k steps a day). Steady state, MAY cannibalise muscle, but leave you lighter and generally feeling better overall, so weight up the pros and cons for yourself. What I will say though is you're also right to not stress too much about it. My two cents is; do what you enjoy - you are DEFINITELY more active than most. Your 3k runs are likely more beneficial than just cardio (there are plenty of well-documented benefits of getting outside in the morning). I know I have sat firmly on the fence here, but as long as you are enjoying the running, keep doing it! 👊🏾
I have a weight training schedule already, but it leaves three rwst days. Those are days i usually do 30 minites or so of martial arts training, but could i use calisthenics on those days as well and get similar results to completely chsnging my schedule, and workouts themselves?
I personally feel that martial arts compliments calisthenics training extremely well. I train with a few people into BJJ and they are insane athletes. Personally football is my sport, and I have found that two complete rest days per week work very well. Try doing somethings similar. Try having two complete rest days and see if you need more / less. e.g. : Monday :Upper Tuesday: Lower Weds: Upper + Martial Arts Thurs: Rest Fri: Lower Sat: Upper + Martial arts Sun: rest or you can have some days where you train in the mornings and evenings? It all depends on you. If you feel you are progressing and not getting injured, then you are probably recovering well 👊🏿
I looking to bulk up and build muscle. I really want to do calisthenics if I mix weight lifting and calisthenics could this support my bulking journey?

so would you recommend doing weights and calisthenics in the same training session? Or seperate?

Utilising weights with your calisthenics exercises is a good idea if your goal is to build muscle.
