I would LOVE to see a "Fitness Guide to Anatomy" that goes over each of the muscles in depth like in this one. Understanding the three parts of the chest has helped me understand how to do a better chest workout.
bodyweight bicep curls and tricep extensions especially on rings are such gamechangers. just 2-3 sets done for higher reps as a finisher and the pump is crazy! chin ups + dips will never be enough to grow your arms.
@Salt Maker you are right. unless you are beginner you will kinda get away with that. as you get more advanced though, you will start noticing arms being far less developed than torso
@Salt Maker It's not about how challenging the exercise is, he's saying that chin-ups/dips simply don't stimulate the arms enough for them to grow once you are an advanced trainee
Note: I've been following these guys for 4 years now. At 61 I've always been an athlete and have transitioned form all types of maintenance exercises at the very BORING gyms for Running, MTB & Swimming. However, calisthenics; especially with RING, has turned maintenance exercising into another sport. And I don't have to go to the gym to do it!
Keep doing these videos! Breaks the cycle of those supposed workouts you see everywhere that are always in the same set and rep range and don't consider easier ways to build up to those exercises etc.
Guys plz go ez when doing arsher push ups orcpushups in general . I recently dislocated my shoulder doing them ( did not warm up enaugh ) so plz dont slack on your warm ups and have a good day .
I enjoyed it so much!!! Love this kind of videos, guys! Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing your next video and keep learning and developing my body in a healthy way👍🏻
I didn't knew what exercises to do first, this video explained well to do harder exercises first like pike pushups which is going to help my future progress, Thank you for sharing.
I like this new way of putting information on the video we can just pause and and read the key features or whole thing and yeah one day I'll definitely gonna build physic like you guys
You are the only guy on entire CZcams who knows properly how to do pushups! Everyone does the same mistake and does it with bad form, in fact many fitness channels on CZcams don't know their stuff 🤦♂️🙄
Hey Alex and the rest of the team, really pleasant video, I think this is probably the best style from you guys, one showing you talking to us and showing us videos of what to do etc. It's much more personal and makes you want to pay more attention, is kind of like you are here with us. Enjoying it. I think you have done a video on legs, not sure if I can find it but I need to have a look, often there is that misconception that doing gymnastics and or calisthenics means the legs get neglected. I know it's not the case, just thought it might be worth reminding some of your viewers how your group incorporates leg exercises so as not to introduce imbalances. I have your complete calisthenics program levels 1-5 plus I have started gymnastics so hopefully long term I'm going to be progressing with that. If anyone can find one of your leg videos, it would be good, I will now have a search. Found it: czcams.com/video/-AOpemH7Tb4/video.html for anyone who might want to check it out, there are a few, just type in calimove legs
Wooooo, I didn't know the voice was from you. From a not native speaker this is so shocking. Anyway, thank you for all the videos, they have been very helpful

One comment to the archer pushups - work on the straight arm creates a nice contraction on the biceps, especially with a wider grip. It is not a completely isometric work, but close to it and here we can feel it, but - of course - I wouldn't ever call it a "arm exercise".
I’d say a better way of focusing the biceps to some extent is with planche training, especially planche lean and pseudo planche push ups. Pseudo planche push ups, with a supinated grip can work your biceps, but the key here is the straight arm , and that’s also a reason why gymnast have such big biceps, because of the straight arm training that’s very present in their training
I am switching between various pushups and dips. Havent tried any biceps curls like you show in this video so i will incorporate them in future trainingsessions.. Thanks for your excellent videos.
Hello Alex. I'm 55 years old, I'd like to see exercises for legs and knees strengthening. In advance age, legs weakening is the main musculoskeletal problem for men. So, I would appreciate videos focused on that. Thanks
Dont think to much about that just train consistent with a plan i just finish level 5 off your program and im stronger in my 50 with a cut body and sixpack, than ever before now I will keep traning from level 5 and add skill focused traning❤❤
What are your thoughts on training chins and dips in a powerlifting like scheme? It is a topic that is not much reviewed. Any insights in how to program a session in a day or a week? Thanks in advance
Nice video. But, Archer and Pike pushups have progressions, too. I understand your point and agree that the video referenced is not a good arm workout, but doing an easier progression on the Archer and Pike pushup will allow you to do sets in a higher rep range.
Yeah you could do Incline Archer Push Ups, but for Pike Push Ups it's a bit more complicated. The Pike Push Up is an overhead Push Movement that focuses on your shoulders. There are not that many ways to make it easier, without changing the purpose of it.
@@mrdwightmartin Yes. You will still focus on the shoulders, but it's more of an decline instead of a Pike Push Up. The more you change the distance between the hands and the legs the more you change the "pushing angle" (when we talk about Pike Push Ups on the ground). So yes you can use it as some form of progression, but it's not the exact same movement and focus.
Verfolge euch schon seit einiger Zeit, ich für meinen Teil hab als übergewichtiger Mann(172cm/93Kg) mit normalen Liegestütz angefangen. Konnte damals nur 3 am Stück machen hat sich aber schnell gesteigert und da ich übergewichtig wae habe ich theoretisch auch mehr Gewicht bewegt, was natürlich am Anfang für mehr Erfolge gesorgt hat. Kann eigentlich jeden raten der keine Schmerzen in den Handgelenken etc. hat mit normalen Liegestütz anzufangen und versuchen diese sauber auszuführen falls man dafür genug Kraft hat.
Wir arbeiten zufällig gerade an einem Video zu genau diesem Thema (welche Faktoren beeinflussen die Leistung bei Liegestützen). Kommt wahrscheinlich aber erst in 2 Monaten.
@@givemeabreak5896 you have to externally rotate your elbows to engage your biceps in straight arm gymnastics events. A biceps focused chinup you are basically performing a the biceps curl just using your body as the weight and moving it around the bar.
@@davidwagner9644 A bicep focused chinup is still what Gymnasts DON'T DO to get big arms, it's YEARS of being conditioned to withstand their bicep's tendons not being torn apart by the massive forces acted. Not saying a bicep focused chinup won't focus on the bicep a bit (despite me not liking the movement) I still see tons of people commenting this stupid myth, it's just plain wrong.
@@givemeabreak5896 We will leave the gymnasts out. Through bio-mechanical analysis we know the chin up targets the biceps to a greater degree than the pullup. We also know through bio mechanical analysis the lat muscles are fully engaged on a pull or chinup when the elbows when pass to the rear of the body. This holds true for weight lifting as well. The bent row or dumbbell bent row the elbows must pass the the posterior portion of the body. We also know through bio mechanical analysis the chinup yields 18% more peak contraction at the top than a pullup. We also know a supernated grip places more stress on the tendons that pass through the elbows. Therefore, because of Science we know if you keep your elbows in front of the body during a chinup most of the emphasis will be placed on the biceps muscles. Facts do not care about your feelings
Genetics matter. I am a guy that gets disproportionately big arms by doing regular pushups. And yes, I have adjusted my form to focus on chest as much as possible. Easy growing arms are just in my genetics.
Usually the push up variations of the TikTok videos are sometimes misleading… But here is a real routine for advanced or experts! - 10 to 100 reps of diamond push-ups -10 to 75 reps of pike push-ups -10 50 reps of triceps extensions -10 to 500 bench dips -10 to 100 biceps push-ups - 10 to 100 finger assisted push-ups If u think it’s bad explain it see ya😉
God loves you Man, Come back to him, he wants to be your all, he loves and wants him more than anyone ever could, come home Man he's calling you to have Joy in him
I have been doing push ups since 2017 and now I am feeling pain between my chest bone I really enjoyed my journey but now it's very unexpected please give me some tips how can i overcome of this pain 🙏
An interesting training technique: if I start with the heavy one, I immediately get injured and it is not good for the heart or the joints either In general, I'm a fan of gradual weight lifting or repetitions, I don't think it's a good idea for the joints or the bones or especially for the heart to do sudden high intensity, even if it involves a low number of repetitions, not The principle of gradation must be observed and warmed up exceptionally Before calisthenics, all muscles and joints are damaged very quickly in this form of training I spent 12 years bodybuilding in the gym and 8 years doing it Calisthenic, but I immediately noticed that serious muscle strains occur much faster with Calisthenic than with training in the gym This is a 2000-year-old form of training, mainly military-based, but you have to warm up to it and be able to perform the exercises very precisely, because the risk of injury is very serious here. You can naturally get injured in the gym, but with Calisthenics you get such a muscle strain that there is no medicine or therapy that can cure it in many cases haha
That's why you warm yourself up properly (and warming up does not mean to spend 10 minutes on the treadmill only). A proper warm up also consists of specififc exercises. This includes 1-2 sets of easy push up variations in a higher rep range but without going anywhere close to failure. The point we're making here is that you should not do the easy progressions as working sets before the harder ones.
I bought a blue short and my push up range went from 6-8 reps to 18-20 reps. Remember guys blue shorts is the key.
Then imagine wearing an orange Gi 😂
that's lightwork when i wear blue shorts my reps quintuple and my power level gain is 9.78x so i become the strongest being on earth
Okay, thanks brother
I'm reading this comment in blue short😂
Imagine the reps after you go bald

The amount of tension on the biceps is relatively low because of the shoulder angle. There are way better exercises for the biceps.💪🏻
Amazing.
the most fundamental thing even before starting calisthenics which builds your base for everything upcoming is mastering the art of blue shorts.
liking the new sean nalewuigi format
Please make a video on how to breathe doing different exercises. Like how to breathe during push-ups, pull-ups, parallel bar dips, Squats
I am switching between various pushups and dips.
Havent tried any biceps curls like you show in this video so i will incorporate them in future trainingsessions..
Thanks for your excellent videos.

Just because you i knew at the starting that these are not arm dominant ❤
A set of pullup bars and rings are probably some of the biggest bangs for the buck when it comes to maximizing physical fitness.
