Just about to finish your home workout program (1 week left). With almost 48 yo and after more than 1 year, due to some pauses related to injuries done elsewhere, I can honestly recommend it: minimum to no equipment needed, done at home, focus on the correct form, minimum time expendend and very very good results, as long as you grind and stick to it. Looking forward to start complete calisthenics program in a few weeks and hoping there is some carryover effect, but I will sure miss the time efficiency and the follow along audios, pushing me to go on or to start another set when my body is already calling you some bad names :) and crying for some more rest. Please keep on the good work!
Does home workout program requires use of pull up bar? Is it possible to train your back without pull up bar? I am planning to get the program but can't install a pull up bar.
@@ayushkumr30, absolutely. The program contains several exercises for your back that are done without pull up bar. Of course you are not going to do pull ups, but there are other exercises available. You just need 2 chairs. That said, you don't use a pull up bar in the home workout program.
@Carlos.Rivera lol. The astronauts kept and regained their bone density and muscle strength by rebounding! It was tested against strength training and it came out ahead. It's an overall healthy exercise!
I swear to the caliblue shorts: My brain loves to kill boredom fantasizing about how I would manage to train inside a 2x2x2 m 24/7 isolation cell. Room enough for splits?🤔
I've been doing just 2 minutes of workout because I struggle a lot finding time and motivation, and just with 15 push ups(started with 7) and 20 lunges (started with 10) the change in my strenght and well being is absurd, it had been a game changer for me and my quality of life, and is such a little time and effort, anyone is able to do this. I'm not a fit person but as I said it was a game changer for all in my life.
I have the same experience as you. I think this is sort of missing from the wole workout culture. People think they need to do so much so they dont even bother doing anything. In fact you can gain strength and muscle on just 1 set of an exercise taken close to failure. I do 1, set of push-ups, then squats next day 2,1 set, then bodyweight rows day 3, 1 set. Then I start the cicle again.
Recently started a new job, 10 hour shifts with at least an hour commute each way (by bicycle at least for exercise). I get an hour lunch. I have a small room i can exercise in. Been doing pushups, pullups(brought in some pull-up handles), pike pushups, bodyweight rows, bodyweight squats. This video came out at a great time. Gave me some new ideas! Thanks
Your videos have been my inspiration since 2020-1. Very sensible and effective. I do these in the open air when possible. Combining with some running/jogging.
What a great post this is. So many wonderful, simple and minimal ideas to stay fit and strong. My husband and I walk in the morning for 2+ miles, but I also like to walk in the evening after dinner. I won't walk alone (+70 years old) so I decided to buy a treadmill. Looking at the prices (!) and the room needed I decided to just walk in place so I can get at least 7500 steps each day (studies have shown that 7500 steps give the same benefit as 10,000 steps). I'm looking forward to trying out things you showed on your video for upper body strength. Thanks for this!.
Many years ago I stumbled over the book Solitary Fitness by Charles Bronson… a real eye opener in this regard. Your video illustrated this even better.
I just want to say thanks guys! I used your idea for a pulling exercise where you utilize the table for the rowing movement. I train everyday, your content is very inspiring! :D also, K Boges is an amazing channel, maybe someone who is reading does not know of him and it may help them. Have a nice day! :D
Nice video! I like all of those efficiency concepts. It's also nice to keep it simple in terms of not so many excersises I guess, for people who don't want to have track of 25 different movements.
Awesome vid! Could you also do a mat mobility vid in a clear perspective like how you were in this vid on the mat around the 5 min mark? Specifically some spinal thoracic/lumbar work would be great
A doorway pullup bar with rings attached to it make a very good option too. I mean a very very good option , there is not many ring exercises that cannot be done this way . Push up, ring flys , face pulls , bicep curl, rows, dips, etc...
@@davee430 Yes it is stable. If your pull up bar has a frame that goes on top of the doorframe , make sur that when you do pulling exercises you use an angle that pushes the pull up bar on the door frame otherwise you will make the pull up bar fall
This video is literally me, i have no bars to do dips or pull ups but i have grid style door , i can do rows and pull ups but it really hurt my arms, so wear some gloves and use towel or sth soft. But luckily I received some weight from my brother last month,and now i can do both calisthenics and weightlifting
I once spent an entire year having to work out with absolutely no equipment. I couldn't even do table rows. Working the back that way is interesting, lots of pull forwards, back widows, and reverse planks to get the lats and biceps worked sufficiently. The only real strength downside i experienced was in grip strength.
I reckon all you need is a set of dip bars (i have the baseblocks trainer for added space utility) or failing that, just a kettlebell and a mat. People underestimate how useful a 16kg kettlebell can be for the consistent and determined average man. Both are great for a space saving home gym. As a kettlebell allows you to companesate for the areas Calisthenics struggles in (leg loading and isolations)
Could you make a video about the importance of isolation exercises for arms? Let's say I built decent arm mass over a few mesos with isolations and then do a few mesos with only compounds / skills. Would that be detrimental to arm muscle mass?
With the exception of rings, I prefer going to the gym for my daily workout. But minamalist training is great for when I travel. I always have rubber bands in my suitcase and wide bathtubs are great for pikes.
I'm afraid that the pullup bar would ruin the door frame in my apartment. Quality build... I have the Home Workout program. I had to quit after just about half at one point due to health issues (not connected to the workout program). I started again a few months later and went through the whole thing, all 26(?) weeks, finishing it in early 2023. I'm planning to start again.
I had a resistance band snap on me while I was using it. I don't trust that things any more, and watching you really stretching yours out makes me nervous :D
5.I am training for the past 7 months.But I have insomnia and in the past 1 month,my appetite and performance both have decreased significantly. I don't get enough sleep. I just can't sleep no matter how tired I am.Its not that I don't have time to sleep but I just can't fall asleep in my bed.I am very strict with my diet and cheating is not an issue for me.I don't know how I will progress towards achieving my goals 😭
Great Video! Maybe sort of a maximalist video would also be amazing. Like whats the maximum amount of training that you can put into a week for example.
Thanks for this video. I have no free time aside from sundays, going to a gym is not an option (I mostly hate people and I've no energy due to my +9 hours per day work, spending in one will be a waste of money).
Hey guys, Been with you for a while (done lvl 4 and 5) love what you do 💪 Just have one question, how do I reset progression? Would like to start lvl5 from beginning but all ticked boxes. How do I reset? Thanks in advance ❤
honestly with how much I work, my workout literally consists of 2 sets to failure of push-ups, pull-ups, squats and plank, I workout monday and thursday. I kinda took Mike Mentzer's approach in regards to going to failure, but my reps are slow due my thought of perfecting my form
I have a stupid question. What if you spread the sets out super far apart on the workout day. For example, 1 set of push-ups til failure in the morning, then the afternoon, then right before bed?
Do you have advice for 5 days per week and no longer than 30 minutes? I have a short time before work every day and have been doing upper/lower, although Saturday’s “upper” sometimes doesn’t happen. Evening workouts don’t seem to work out and if I don’t have a morning workout planned I’m just killing time until it’s time to leave.
What do you think about performing just a single set of each exercise, taken to failure? Might be a bit prone to injury, I believe, for some exercises. But it's often stated there's not much gained from performing an additional two sets. So, I'd love to hear your take on that.
what about invent regular challengesn to spice up the routine. Like 100 undred push up daily, as quick as possible. Or, runing 4 miles a day for a week. Or, hang on a plank position as long as you can everyday for 3 weeks. This is also minimalist training?
You can grow a Greek god upper body with body weight exercises and a caloric deficit. Push-ups and pull-ups are elite. Just make sure to do all their variations. Lower body is where you might lack, but it’s still possible provided you get close to failure. 1000 body weight squats isn’t really practical on the time front though.
"limiting factors" until i start doing all with 1 limb at a time (ik i will sacrifice a bit more time, but ey it wont be much more after a while where we get use to it and our rest time can be shorter)
Hate to be the wiseguy, but I have to say that the rest times shown are incorrect. From Monday to Friday for example, it's 3 days in-between,but 96 instead of 72 hours of rest (if your workout is the same time if the day, that is). Great, concise video, thank you!
... i can do 5 push ups and barely do 2 sit-ups due to desiccated discs in my spine which i fail to get a good treatment. All doctors and physical therapist have been useless. If you can provide some aid, i would be very happy

Did the same thing-> Now Complete Calisthenics Program Level 3 can Recommend 100% + Mobility 2.0 parallel 😅

Apartment, hotel, prison cell, heaven or hell - you can still work out well.
What about outter space? Like no gravity

I hope you can do a leg training using own bodyweight from D rank to S rank like the other past videos. Thank you for noticing! ♥️🔥
Only equipment I need now is blue shorts and blue aquashoes
Your videos have been my inspiration since 2020-1. Very sensible and effective. I do these in the open air when possible. Combining with some running/jogging.
Now this is something i really like, Peak Channel 💪
I don't come from a wealthy family so I use any equipment to improvise my workout building some strength/muscle. It's the mindset that counts
I really think High Intensity training, prioritizing technique, proximity to failure and eccentric control is really helpful in these situations!
This video must be saved and shared ❤
Great! Thank you very much for that motivation!
Different types of exercises too!
Good luck, friends!
CALISTHENIC to everybody!!
I love this Channel. New videos are a Heaven.
Great advices. Thanks!
I really appreciate this video for giving me some good insights about sustainable, minimum time-consuming workouts.❤
Love your videos bro i might get one of those routines and try em out
Calisthenics will always be the most ideal way to stay fit and healthy in many ways. No other sports or methods can beat that.

Oh YEAH! Several times heard about rings, okay that's it! I'm going to buy it for myself 💪 thank you for the inspiration!
This is my on the road and staying in a shitty motel with no gym workout.
Thank you

Calisthenics for life 💪
This would need #4 - how to overcome the minimal motivation.
Please make a video about progressing bodyweight exercises!
I once spent an entire year having to work out with absolutely no equipment. I couldn't even do table rows.
Working the back that way is interesting, lots of pull forwards, back widows, and reverse planks to get the lats and biceps worked sufficiently. The only real strength downside i experienced was in grip strength.

You can geht in great shape, only using bodyweight exercises. Period. The intensity and Volume is all that matters. Now Gym and no weights are needed.
With the exception of rings, I prefer going to the gym for my daily workout. But minamalist training is great for when I travel. I always have rubber bands in my suitcase and wide bathtubs are great for pikes.

How many days a week do you work out?
Every 2nd day. So 3-4 times a week
5-6, but only 40-60min at a time

8
3,4,5 depending on the current CC program phase
Make A Video On Only Calisthenics Vs Calisthenics + Gym Vs Only Gym❤
Great Video! Maybe sort of a maximalist video would also be amazing. Like whats the maximum amount of training that you can put into a week for example.
good idea
hi, Been inactive for some years, is there a video that covers a good set to start off with? priorities when going from stagnant to active?

So, I'd love to hear your take on that.
idk about 1, but 2 sets should be enough because theres no difference between 2 failure sets vs 3-4 regular sets (natural)

7:22 You missed two days of resting there. If you workout on mondays and fridays, your resting periods are actually roughly 96 and 72 hours. 😘
Tô be fair the scale he used is correct, but technically the rest is bigger than 72 and 48 indeed

Are burpees, jumping jacks and pull ups enough?
4:42 not me watching this before going to prison💀
- Training without equipment.
- 80% of exercises with rare equipment.
and can you get a good body with minimalistic training ? like sixpack or round shoulder
Where’s Sven?! Asking for science
we want a worst to best version for legs....
