Maybe this video is aimed towards people that are tempted to get lean before they start doing calisthenics. So thank you for your kind words, they are encouraging.
Imagine how easy this guy makes it seem doing clapped pull-ups at his weight,he's massive and he's doing them easily,imagine if he lean how explosivly would he have done them??? Im seriously impressed
of course not!!! I'm 26% bodyfat and I love calisthenics. Though I will say it's much harder to get into especially some of the more advanced stuff as a big boy, I'm aim to lose another 50~60lbs, but I'd been doing basic progression incline pushups and inverted rows ever since I was 330lbs and like ~50%+ bodyfat. If you got a body and you can use said body, use that body and no matter your size you can watch it become the strong body!!
Pride gets in the way of people working out with the body. People think pushups are easy because they are the earliest and most used thing. Military, gym and especially in school. It makes people think pushups are beginner workouts but the truth is they are full body and if any one group is weak it fucks up the pushup. So people think if they cant do a pushup they are weak and refuse to knee pushups
💯Facts, been doing it myself as oversized guy for last 6 months and Calisthenics transformed look of my body & strength, while eating the proper human diet “meat”
Personally, I think for heavier folks to handle pullups and dips with extra weight they get more out of it. I'm 227 lbs and still crank out plenty of both with pushups, rows, squats, and I've even been able to workout with bodyweight extensions and curls.
Ye sure u can always scale down but u can be 'fat' depending on your goals. I bulked up 8kg and lost a lot of my skills and even after cutting down 4kg i'm still much weaker then 1 year so yeah it all just depends on what u want
What if I have tendinitis in my elbows sooo painful that I can’t put any pressure on my arms? I can’t even blow my nose without it really hurting my arms
try stretchings, like Yoga Sun Salutation, to get a better feel for your back. and do slow squats as far down as you can. stay in the down position for a while, to stretch and mobilize the back. and do CARs (controlled articular rotations), especially including the neck ( yes the neck), too. go slow. be patient. be careful.
@@darklight4867 Volume = reps. Basically think of it as imagine only doing 10 reps a week vs doing 200 reps a week. 10 max lift reps vs 200 50% max lift reps. You're not gonna grow much doing 5 max lift repss compared to 200 50% reps. Not enough stimulus for the muscles to be worked, grow and repair.

@@Raaaaaaaaaaaaaa.j When you lose your entire family and have a bf who uses and abuses you, there is room for depression and anxiety which lead me to meth to help me cope with life instead of killing myself. Now I am about 9 months clean of all substances and am on my journey to complete studies to be able to help others with my lived experience. There is no room to feel ashamed from your past, whats done is done. Use it as lessons for you and others who need it. My advice to you is to not judge other people because you don’t know what they’ve been through, instead focus on your own life if you have nothing positive to add to someone else’s.
there is a too fat and to heavy for calistenics if you ask a 600LB guy to do assited anything you think its gonna work? those bands will break in an instant. these type of workouts is best to do when your at a optimal bodyweight that way your joints and bones arent put through massive strain and injury can happen instead of asking a 400LB guy to do these movement you should behelping him lose weight to 200LB where he can actually do them without risking issues. when i was 18 i weighted 250LB, lost weight and gain some muscle till i reached 170LB and doing muscle ups and 1 handed push ups and pull ups came naturally i did nothing to even know i could do them, i went rock climbing and easily lifted myself up with 1 hand even i was surprise.
False im 350 started calistenics at around 380something first with resistance band help now i do 250 pushups in an hr,250 dips in an hr,250 inverted rows in an hr..only after 6 months ...but i use to lift weights and always had some strength
Why do assisted calisthenics when you can use a gym machine. It loses all the meaning of bodyweight exercises. Excersise is all about how you use the gravity. Terms as weight and calisthenics are human words we use and nothing more

I disagree. Kind of. Heavier people have to work extremely hard to be just average in calisthenics. If they want to do dips and pullups, that's great, but I don't think that's what this sport is. A heavy person would spend 2 years perfecting front lever while a below average weight guy would be at his level in several months. It's not all bad though, lighter people should stick to hard bodyweight elements (in which they're naturally better) and heavier people might be stronger in weighted calisthenics or something else. I absolutely don't mean this in a bad way, but there's a reason why 90% of cali athletes started out as skinny.
Have you watched the video? The point is exactly that heavy people don't have to train for things like front lever but can do other easier calisthenics exercises.
I agree with your opinion. But if a heavy weight athlete reaches to that kind of level of calisthenics, they would be A LOT MORE STRONGER than a lighter athlete Push yourself brothers
I also disagree. It's like saying: Don't play Basketball if you're not tall. Don't start with bodybuilding if you're a hardgainer... Look, It's not about who has the best conditions to reach the highest level possible, it's about getting better and improving yourself. Some people just want to get fit, learn a pull up, lose some weight, get mobile or simply train at home without any kind of equipment. I started Calisthenics with 27 and will never reach the level of an elite gymnast...but i can still improve myself, make the most out if my own potential and simply enjoying bodyweight training!

Who cares? You point is completely stupid. Why does it matter if you are average? Who is the regular person competing against? That is right, themselves.
Calisthentic is not for people who are too big or too fat Usually, people with an athletic, muscular build do this sport Older people would often get injured during the exercises or would not even be able to perform them
I find this name of this short so dumb 😂😂 how can viewers or people thing in that way comon dude exercises are done to keep you fit and keep body weight normal and build strength so what fat have to do with calisthenics 😂😂
Ofcourse. For advanced stuff it helps a ton to be lean and all the advanced athletes are lean but fat people can also do simple calisthenics exercises by like here it says "scaling it down'" to improve strength and move on to more advanced stuff.
I think you didn't get the message of this video. Calisthenics is not only about hard and impressive skills. If you're very heavy just scale down the exercises to be able to do them. You can do regular squats, incline push ups, high angle rows, Knee Planks etc.

I really wish i could figure out what to work out for the top of a pull up. So frustrating
False grip

Anyone saying it I'd probably more saying it'll br harder on your joints until you have the strength to compensate
Guys. I've had a shoulder dislocation. When can I be able to get back to training again fro your personal experience??
How do i perform calisthenics if i have long legs and i cant stretch properly with them?
I’m not gonna lie I thought the last two people were 3-D models
The amount of power required to do some of these movements with a larger frame is ridiculous
What i want to know. Is if calistenics will prevent loose/ saggy skin.
Nothing prevents that
No
