It's crazy that even you still struggle with some calisthenics movements, to me it just speaks about how amazing the human body is and that we could never stop learning something new from it
there are a lot harder variations as well like one leg pendulum sissy squat, elevated Leg extension lever (one leg), one leg inverted squats from a pull up bar one leg deficit sissy squats, one leg deficit nordic curl, matrix one leg extension
Loved the video, very inspiring. I particularly liked that in addition to showing your original struggles, you pointed out your "starting point" and gave the timeline as well as ideas you used for progression. It really helps to set realistic expectations.
I've been plodding my way through the mobility program for 17 weeks and still currently struggling to get through the exercises of the program's "week 7". As I struggle on at my slowmojo pace, it is very encouraging to see even El Eggs has to take time to work through new moves.
The advice about crossover benefits from one side to the other in unilateral movements might actually be pretty big. When practicing the shot-put, we always perform the warm up exercises on both sides and sometimes switch sides mid-training as well because this really helps you get down the coordination for the movement.
Nice! The dragon squat is pretty fun. Right one I'm personally using 12kg, and I specially feel it in the glutes (probably because of the stretch), while the normal pistol is more quads oriented
@@calimove you could do it in a similar style to stefano ravarino's video on legs but with more depth. would be great considering advanced calisthenics leg training is kinda obscure

FINALLY something that i can actually do. Love dragon squats. I may never be able to handbalance again due to my damaged wrists but I'll just compensate with legs

Great progressions! Shaolin Sit was in Mobility v1.0 but not in 2.0, but it's still a great adductor exercise so I kept it in my practice even whilst working with Mobility 2.0
I was going to say, I am still on the Mobility 1.0. I was thinking about the 2.0 but felt they took some out and put another. So how do you like it? Basing your experience from 1.0 to 2.0? I kind of want it due to the follow along. But felt I don't want to at the same time I hate the 1.0. Being it is so long, and no follow along. I have to look at the provided PDF. Thano you in advance.
@@DSPNWtoCali I feel 2.0 has a better range of exercises, better progressions, and the session lengths are on average only about 20 mins long. It's a very good program. My only criticism is you can't print out the schedules like you could with 1.0
@@robertwhite2449 good to know. I might just give the Mobility 2.0 a try then. Even though I didn't get far into Mobility 1.0 Funny thing, I bought the Mobility 1.0 2 weeks before they release the New version. I told them can I be upgraded to the 2.0, they refused. I think that was due to the payments plan for whatever months. I think another reason I didn't get too far on the version 1.0. But I like many things so far from the 2.0. just not many info/reviews from the user yet. Have a good one brother.
I almost did it , i Heard that for it to be completed you have to touch the ground with shoulder which i couldnt cuz i was barely in position , i will definitely use this tutorial
Dear CaliMove, I am currently trying to improve my ankle mobility but I have one problem. When I try to dorsiflexion my ankle, I get a slight pain in my Talus Bone area which hinders my progress. How do I stop the joint pain and focus on targeting the muscles instead?
Btw I don`t know if a video exists on Swayback posture? because this is a channel I trust with fitness, I think they had videos on posture but don`t remember a specific video mentioning SwayBack posture. (i sit a lot)
Love the video but this is not the full range of motion for Dragon Squat. The shoulder be almost touching the ground and the entire torso goes below the standing knee, then you stand back up. At the calisthenics park in NYC I do this ROM for reps easily. Its also fun to stumble from a figure-4 squat into a standing dragon squat, the balance is alot trickier but it feels like dance. The best stretch I've found hands down to achieve a dragon squat is the elevated pigeon stretch.
That’s very interesting. I can do the dragon and pistol squat, but I can’t do things like Nordic curls, splits, etc. maybe it’s because my muscle are much smaller?
Main Muscles Worked: Quads, Glutes Hamstrings, Hip Adductors, Hip Abdcutors...It's basically a lower body compound exercise with a lot of muscles involved. The lower part is more glute dominant, the upper part more quad dominant. You need adductor mobility for the "not worked leg" and more abductor strength for the worked leg. You can include these exercise in any full body program (as your leg training) or just do it on your leg day. I would do these movements at least 2-3 times a week and mainly focus on it (if this is your main goal). If you want to do other leg exercises do them after the Dragon Squat Training.
Dragon squat is indeed hard as fuck. Take it from someone who can do weighted pistols and full shrimp squats no problem, I struggle doing one dragon squat.
Yes it can cause problems if you're not perpared for it. Follow the insturctions of the video and start with easier exercises/progression and let your body time to adapt.
Wait a second... I KNOW THAT ROCK ! YOU CAME TO SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA ???? I WISH I COULD HAVE MET YOU SO WE COULD TRAIN TOGETHER ! I wish I could have shown you the Sydney Tricking & Parkour community
As an ice skater I often challenge myself to skate on one leg and changing directions quickly. I got the dragon squat within the first week of trying it.
Hello Calisthenicmovement, I’m 23 years old and I live in France. I would like to start bodyweight training, but I don’t know how to do the movements with perfect form. That’s why I would like to meet you in person so that you can teach me how to do the movements correctly (push-ups, pull-ups, abdominal wheel). is it possible ? If so, how can I get an appointment with you in person?
I trained a lot in Calisthenics parks in France (Paris, though) and everyone always was extremely friendly and happy to help. Just don't forget to go around when you arrive and greet everyone personally first (same when you leave). I'm totally sure you will find people guiding you a bit! 😊

There's an even harder leg exercise in terms of pure strength. The quad-lever, here's me doing it about 1.5 months ago on some monkey bars: (or go to my channel) czcams.com/users/shortsPyqWTm2Q3Hw?si=N1alNZDzFg6lLOui Its literally 90% quads and 10% core/lower-back. It scales to, you can do it on those ab-crunch benches and scale it up with weights to get the pain-tolerance to do it on un-padded bars.
I mean you are el eggs! It looks a tiny bit that you gained some weight over Christmas :-) Maybe I am wrong but I'd like to be right because that would make el eggs a bit more human!
its not that hard, i got it just by random attempts in a span of maybe 5 months, the hardest one is probably sth like single leg sissy squat or single leg nordic curl a little side note, when i first attempted it i only could do pistol squats and deep archer squats, i did not do any mobility drills, just random attempts maybe a few times a week so the key is the same as usual: negatives!

Unrelated to the video ,but i have a question: As a 14 year old who does calistenics at home ,how many hours should i be sleeping ?
Sleep is more important than any working out you could be doing, trust. At the very least 8 hours a day
We do everyday while playing kabaddi😅😅😅
Soon as Cali atheletes accept a a barbell squat is a Cali exercise 🦵!
there is nothing this Ninga can not do
I can do pistol and dragon squat but i suck at SHRIMP SQUAT. How can i learn shrimp squat.
Do an easier variation of the same movement, you can do Shrimp squat with less ROM, or Shrimp while holding onto something with the other hand
I get crapms what should I do
I still fall everytime I tried these, great achievements, probably helps you sleep a lot better at night, if you know what I mean, haha
Is there any specific benefit of dragon squart?
No, it's dumb af and flashy
Yes.
I can do it, and you can't!
The main benefit.
You get to flex at parties
The Challlenge ;)
It's not an exercise that you do for reps, but a good test/indicator for your lower body strength, balance & mobility
