Salute my brother. :)))
The legend!! :-D :-D
the beast!
David Gonzalez yes, the beast has returned!! :-D
ExpectedChain46 I like to call it hybrid training, but some people will say otherwise. in the end it doesn't matter. as long as it gives you a challenge & builds muscle go for it.
ExpectedChain46 You're not using the weights themselves for a workout, just as resistance, so technically it's still calisthenics..
These guys make muscle ups look like such a joke lol. Crazy.
i'm saying menh... its like warm up for them lolz
O'BEN right, and then they do em right after another intense workout
For all the people complaining :
Gym -> You end up bigger by using weights.
Calistenics -> You end up lean, fast, agile and you have better mobility with you body.
You can get real big with just calisthenics. Not as big as a dude killing it at the gym lifting intense weight but you can get big. There is a difference between looking freakishly big and naturally big. The benefits of calisthenics are what you said plus getting big.
Jeremy Diaz smartest comment I've seen on here so far
the realest dude my BOI JEREMY
Well I mean, some gymnasts look better than weightlifters etc. They always got huge shoulders
Oscar Stenberg I remember seeing an explanation to that.
Calisthenics build muscle as well as weights. We have done mostly bodyweight training and you can check us how big we are...
3:05 That chick with weighted chin ups though... Respect.
IMO Calisthenics build the best looking bodies, and distribute mass and power evenly to very good measures. But of course there is no "better" or "worse" training, as long you get back as much as you give (or more), don't injure yourself and reach the goal you want. That's how I see it.
"Calisthenics are great because you use your own bodyweight" *puts on 135 pounds on dip belt*
weighted cali dummy
Well. If you cant lift your body, you dont have rights to use weights.
ITS CALLED WEIGHTED CALIS, JERK
Well he still lifts his body weight... plus extra weight
@@tokorothhh you are right
But calis or weighted cali are more joint freindly exercice then the barbelle
And more core activation
But the reason of using your body weight is stupid argument
So many people arguing, why not do both? :)
+kev ‘kevlegs’ legs theyre all noobs who do not workout on a regular basis. I bet you people who workout for a healthy lifestile and do not do bodybuilding for a living are all good with atleast basic calisthenic movements. Training with weights only gets boring af after some time. I've been one of those guys so I speak from experience.
+kev “kevlegs” legs yea so we can skip legday in both
yup ...thats right..
Some don't have access to a gym at the moment so body is all we really have until then
+renato zamalloa Take a look at Kane Sumabat (@timbahwolf on instagram) who incorporates both
Outstanding Video & lots of crazy Skills!!!
Thanks for the VIDEO...hope for more I would like to see some sprints or jumping Plyometrics in comparison to sportsmen?!
And if I read some of the stupid comments...I feel ashamed for that. Yeah...of course, its just because they are "black" or being on "juice".
Just care about yourself and enjoy the VIDEO & if not - "get the fuck outta here"
PEACE - keep on training
dips and pull-ups with plates added are no longer just calisthenics.
Michael Sotomayor yeah I know that's true, but i'm just pointing out that this is not pure calisthenics so it takes away from the argument a little bit. but you're certainly right about the weightlifters doing calisthenics thing. I would sit there and bench 245 for however many reps then when I started doing calisthenics would struggle to do 30 pushups in a row or more than 15 pull-ups.
Ike I saw that too and I was like woah woah woah what the fuck are those! You can't be using plates and weights and still claim you are building muscle solely on calisthenics
Oh? I thought there were two main classes, bodyweight and weighted. Under weighted you would have your gym routines with dumbells plates etc and weighted calisthenics. While under bodyweight exercises you would have calisthenics without weight, gymnastics and advanced yoga.
uzibitch1 Haha bro u need to watch some videos of Adam Raw explaining it. Even weighted back squats are calisthenics cause you put the weight on yourself. For example you also do pull ups with t shirt on right? then i could also say bro this is not calisthenics you should do them naked, sometimes your clothes are 1 kg sometimes 0,5 kg. So why not do with 30 kg added? think about this
I agree, that's not REALLY calisthenics, but it's more the modern view of it, it's more efficient to do weighted moves at that point!
You can call it street workout if you want, i consider it like modern calisthenics :)
the big difference is that calithenic uses ur bodyweight under different types of pressure and creates intensity through positioning.
calithenic gives you the mobility that weights can't give you.
Philip Shapkin the difference is practical application in everyday life. You're more likely to lift something than you are to pull or push yourself up
@@flip4247
Those something that you lifted are not 100kg weights. Calisthenics will also gives you the strength to carrying around a heavy objects, around 50-70 kgs at least.
And it never conditions or strengthens the musculoskeletal system like bodybuilding does
@@flip4247 i disagree. And i think quality of life and health is also extended pretty well with calisthenics. Calisthenics will help with injury prevention. Bodybuilding is cool too. In fact i acc do more bodybuilding than calisthenics but like no need to shit on bodyweight exercises. Mastering ur body and its movement is definitely fuckin cool like
@@philipshapkin6607 if you can do 200 push ups and bench 315 , but still have to call for help to move furniture then niether is superior. The only benefits are superficial
*Muscle is muscle, no matter the method you use to build it*.
In my opinion, calisthenics look much cooler but the gym is a more of an effective way of building your body.
+DavePazz People get injured because of ego not lifting weights.
idk, if I feel like calisthenics build more lean muscle, if you look at Bruce Lee for example, he doesn't loom super ripped but when he actually flexes he explodes. people think I'm super skinny until I actually flex and they realize that I have even bigger muscles than them. idk I definitely feel like there is a difference but its nothing more than the look.
+DavePazz oh really? yeah I guess that makes sense. idk I shouldn't act like I know anything lol.
+TeenageMillionaire Muscles built with own body weight are different from muscle mass you build by just lifting weights.
+DavePazz Bullshit. Ever heard about intensity and volume? Do you know what 5 reps per set and 15 reps per set do? Do you know how limiting calisthenics (if we're speaking about bodyweight and bodyweight only) is, offering just volume for the largest muscle groups and a couple of core exercises that build a strong core but not a big back, neither big arms, neither big chest, nor big legs. Intensity is low reps, volume is high reps. Intenisty builds STRENGTH. Volume is just broken muscle fibers and hypertrophy --> muscle soreness and more muscle built as a result of that. Calisthenics actually offers only the volume type of workouts and some fancy athletic type of stuff that can lead to way worse than bad shoulders and knees and bad shoulders and knees aswell, calisthenics is way more stressful on the joints, a muscle up for example with its quick switch at the forearms can fuck you up real bad, like it did me and I'm having tendon issues for about half a year now. Also if you're keen on doing only bodyweight workouts, you'll end up doing 20+ reps a set which is just pointless, losing muscle and fat, while just building endurance. Gym and weightlifting is the way you make it, you want strenght, you go for 5x5 programs, you want muscle and body, you go for 15x3 or 15x4, you want a strong core, you've got plenty of exercises for it. And about this "muscles built with own bodyweight are different from muscle by wieghtlifting" type of legends is just stupid. Seroiously, its just tissue that gets broken when being used more than usual and then repaired with a little extra mass in order to catch up to the tasks that you're giving it. End of the story.
Calisthenics is awesome, no doubt about it. Only issue with it is unlike the gym, you can't just walk in there and do it. In a gym, there is weight that everyone can lift, but not everyone can do push ups/dips/pull ups in sets.
Michael Sotomayor Keep going! I'm currently doing 5 sets of 5 with 25 kg - last year I did 5 sets of 24! Working on the one arm chin now.
Micah Murray Yeah man everone starts at one..
camtasia1000 Nah I've seen lots of people start with assists because they couldn't do one unassisted.
Micah Murray I have been on and off for yrs now. Never really motivated might last anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks and i just fall back off the wagon. I'm now getting back into it and trying to make some serious progress and put on about 20lbs bulking cali. I can always get start off with 3 sets 20 reps though which is crazy. When i was in middle/high shcool i worked out 4 yrs straight though.
Wakeim Rice U can't workout for more than a few weeks at a time but you wanna pack on 20 lbs of bulk? Try being consistent before you think you can just pack on a pretty damn significant amount of muscle.
Tbh calisthenics is a lot more fun than the gym and requires little to no equipment. Although you can't be the strongest man in the world it's still pretty cool what these guys can do.
Street workout dont need expensive equipment :)
+Nova Calisthenics street workout buys cheap tool;)
Try Maltese, iron cross, hefesto or Victorian cross and say again that you can't be the strongest man in the world.
Meade77 U can be the strongest man if u have enough will power
no but you can be the strongest man at which ever one your doing for example a gold medal gymnast probably wouldn't be able to match lifts to the top strongmen however I doubt a top strongman would be able to hold a planche or iron Cross or even do as many muscle ups as the gold medal gymnast could. this is only because their training goals are different
reading the comments makes me vomit, everyone is being the pseudo ex powerlifter/bodybuilder a personal trainer and a phd on human physique, come on guys, most of you watched 2 videos of rich piana and vegan gains and acting like you know everything...
hahahaha
Typing on eyboard is my best workout routine. I can pull down a helicopter when I was 12.
loved the video guys...such a great motivation for building rock solid muscles...whatever discipline you choose..keep up the good work Strength Wars!!!
the name of the song at 1:00 is one of today's biggest unsolved mistery's
For real man..i still cant find it
lol, still.
These comments amaze me. people have been getting in shape way before gyms were even around. calisthenics can build muscle, if you know how to train in it PROPERLY. I hate to burst your bubble, but weight lifting is not the only way to build muscle.
2:15 song: David 0'Brien - Back With The faces
It definitely builds muscle. But continued progression in size and strength requires progressive overload and using only your body weight is obviously limiting in that regard.
Update: some of you in the comments seem to be interpreting my comment to imply that you cannot use progressive overload with your bodyweight. Of course you can, which is exactly how these guys get as muscular as they do. But there's a reason that high-level calisthenics guys and gals don't have the muscularity of bodybuilders, and that's because old fashioned barbells and dumbbells allow for a continual progressive overload that is simply not possible with calisthenics alone. This isn't a criticism of calisthenics; it's brutally hard and produces great physiques with tremendous agility and core strength, something lots of strength athletes lack. But IF your goal is to be as strong and muscular as genetically possible, calisthenics will not get you there.
At last someone with brain cells......
+Burak Özel Not exactly. The overload is created by altering leverage. changing your positioning will put more tension on the intended muscle.
You build muscle > you increase your bodyweight > you make overload. And anyway you can choose exercises that are more challenging. like the stuff on gymnastic rings
Colingueisen an average man would die from age before he's maxed out by your plan.
Burak Özel so that means ongoing progression. Like an average man would die before learn to benchpress 1000 kgs. It's a long time process, like gym training
Isn`t this the guy who lost to a humble powerlifter?
He is
am I the only one that noticed that this guy is missing a belly button?
Cuz he was never born... just woke up in a park one day and started doing pull ups
+Jason Fehr xD
+Jason Fehr hahahhaa
because he is not born
OH SHIT!!!!!
Man!!! that beat @ 2:17. Im diggin it. Love the oldskool hiphop. Nice song.
Can you say me name of that music? Thanks
I loved this introductory gymnastics warm up video.
anybody noticed that he said he was lifting weights for 4 years goddamm 4 years and then 2 year caLi so
that's explain why his muscles are bigger then rest of cali s
+Mikus Silenieks can only lose blood volume....can't lose muscle.
muscle is flesh...can't lose flesh. loss of blood makes muscles appear to shrink due to loss of pump.
+xsharkilspotx bodybuilders gain blood volume mostly which is why after they stop they lose most of their size.... its just blood that makes them look big. its not muscle fiber that actually do you any good. gonna pop that balloon with a blade.
+YangSword9x And btw, you do get new muscle cells, those aren't fat cells, fat cells just gets more fat inside of them and stretch to infinity, muscle cells don't work like that. The way muscle is build is by new muscle cells being built on top of broken ones. Also, look up Andreas Munzer and tell me how its blood volume again, IT IS MUSCLE bro, MUSCLE. Bodybuilders lose that MUSCLE because to get that BIG you need to eat like a fucking bear, so they stop eating like bears and their bodies go back to a smaller state. Simple as that, no such thing like blood pump, jesus. If it worked like that, they could just inject some litres of blood in my veins and I can go to a bodybuilding competition without a single day at the gym.
Ивелин Димитров i was thinking of arnold and rich piana...
+ADITYA MALL Nope,its because he is black!
I just wonder why people who practice calisthenics think they are better than anyone else, you're are just working out in a different way, this doesn't mean it's "better". From this aspect you are like crossfitters who think they are God on earth talking about fitness. Please just train in whatever way you like, I prefer old classic weight training, can I? Thank you.
***** ?
1. Gym / calisthenics / any other activity
2. nothing
3. shit
4. crossfit
Train any way you desire but he meant the balance and strength and core strength etc is a lot harder to master than walking up to a bar lifting it up or dropping it or pushing weight off your chest or lifting weight on your back I think that's what he meant it's harder to master :)
CutiiePieeTv Did you ever deadlift, squat or bench heavy with good form? Theres a lot of core strength and balance involved if you want to keep a good form with heavy weights. The difference is, that you can start from a lower weight and work up to heavy weights with good form, while for calisthenics there's not much working up from lighter weights with the advanced movements. Or let's put it different: the progressions you can use are not as quantifiable like going up 10 pounds in the bench so you don't have that feel of linear progression you get with adding more weights to lifts.
Yes sir I have I have a 500 pound deadlift a 390 squat and a 280 bench I train both calisthenics and weight training (strength/body building) I started out on calisthenics and slowly progressed to the moves in the video I found the movements of calisthenics harder than lifting that weight with good form and when it comes to dead lifts squats and bench you're totally right man it is a shit ton of core but my point was that when it comes to calisthenics it's such a amazing movement it works your core in such a dynamic way that in my personal experience and my personal opinion are much more hard than deadlifts and such that's MY personal opinion though :)
CutiiePieeTv It was a sincere question if you lifted properly because often unexperienced people (or people who lift horribly wrong) look down on regular lifts when they see stuff like that and underestimate the core strength and balance needed for proper deadlifts and DEEP squats.
I gotta admit I totally suck at calisthenics, which I blame on the high specificity of the movements. So I don't really train the moves anymore. For me they are not worth the time considering my goals (basic strength for Muay Thai, Boxing and wrestling).
Calisthenics just don't transfer as well to other activities because the motor patterns are to specific, which is why they are harder to learn (it's less about the actual strength that makes it hard but more about the practice of the skill - although it obviously requires a lot of strength). However they are a great way to stay in good shape and be fit when you're not training for a specific sport.
I don't know how I hadn't come across your channel before. You guys are awesome for giving props to all athletes!
People will argue about methods and such, but as long as you go break a sweat and get stronger than what you are, it's all good.
Great job guys. Kudos.
when are body builders going to realise it isn't necessarily Size and mass that makes strength!
muscle is merely the engine, tendons, nervous and ligaments is what creates the real sense and ability of strength!
for example you can have a 2.5L engine pushing 200hp or you can have a 1L 220bhp! muscle to weight and density is a huge aspect when considering strength!
in my opinion bulk muscle is good for 2 things, 1 dimension power e.g lifting...and 2, looking good on a beach. not taking anything away from body builders! their craft snd strength is amazing, I could never do what they do!Im a climber and marital artist, so I'm light framed and can't lift for toffee, but I do calasthenics and bouldering, and 2 finger one arm pull Ups are easy, but I cant bench more than my weight! doesn't mean that to scale I'm not as strong, it just means I'm adapted to different levels of strength!
kudos to all who dedicate to a craft though!

bodybuilders is on steriod...not all of em
Calisthenics is great for building your upper body... legs however dont get much attention
***** A barbell squat can be considered calisthenics because you are moving your own bodyweight.
MidnightSTALKER979 str. doesnt just come in size :3
MidnightSTALKER979 it does have legs,it just that they don't build much about muscle mass,sure it kinda small(as you say chicken legs) because they don't build their legs with weights to get big but they DO workout their legs to get stronger and acourse very good to shred up their legs without getting too big. If you wanna see calisthenics with legs then you can check these guys like Adam raw,lazar novovic(bar brothers) they do workout their legs ;)
Its more explosive strenght for legs than to be able to squat 200kg. Same as parkour legs.
They dont get big because its more explosive strenght than be able to squat 200kg. Same goes for parkour.
Great video & information keep sharing!!!

What's the fucking song name 0:50 - 1:20 does anybody here knows it? FFS even shazam can't pick it up.
BodybuildingRev
Calisthenics is freedom, GYM.......not to much....i feel free doing calishtenics in the way i can doi it anywhere.....
Walks to the park with kids.
Sees tree.
Does random muscle ups.
Carry on with walk.
this comment aged better than fine wine
Is this is the argument people make then this is just sad
Time under tension to the max, you are killing it great control.
Bravo, very well filmed.
everybody's arguing but all I want to know is whats that first song called??
czcams.com/video/rRN0oQD51_0/video.html the long wait is over my friend
THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!
wish they had bars like that at my gym, nice video
what they are doing looks so cool, I love this video, it's a great motivation.
The moment you add weight when you are doing pull ups or dips for example, it is not longer calisthenics. No longer a body weight only exercise
But it sorta sticks to the principle of calisthenics which is doing those movements that affect a wide range of muscles. like that's the main advantage of calisthenics so I feel like those sort of technicalities don't matter
Philip Shapkin That's like saying I'm gonna put on a blind fold that has material which is so thin that I can see through it. It sticks to the principle of covering my eyes but if I can still see through the blind fold it defeats the purpose of covering my eyes so I can't see. It's no longer calisthenics when weights are involved.
B-boy StuntZ nah man because when u add weight to exercises that are meant to be body weight it still affects that wide range of muscle and the outcome is whats important.
you do realize these pull ups would be like doing body weight exercise with more weight/heavier body right?
***** fair nough
Könnt ihr die Namen der Songs posten, die Ihr verwendet habt ?
great job dude !!!!
as soon as im stable again I will continue MY calisthenics training, thank for the motivation
Seriously, what is that song at 1:00 minute? And stop saying it's Sandstorm.
Darude
0:55 song? Shazam can't find it. Any help..?
Jim Jimmy what song that ???
This is the type of training I want to do. Lifting weights is boring to me.. I mean I like doing the base movement, but I find it difficult to see how functional the exerccieses are at all times and then I don't really want to get big and bulky either..
I've started to do participate more in the classes at my gym such as sling-training classes and CWORX-classes (somewhat heavy on abs and core). the next class I wantto try is their GRIT-class, but this one is listed as a red class so I'll give myself 1-2 weeks to get back into a good routine before I try it, becuase the red classes are their most demanding.
I've also thought about trying out crossfit. There is this other gym who does crossfit and is not too far away. what do you think of cossfit? If i start doing crossfit I'll probably not do any upper-body training with weights outside of what I might have to do on the crossfit-sessions or in my Grit-class. the upper body will be activated in all my classes anyway and the only muscle-group I will lift weights for would perhaps be my weights.
I like working out, but I want a physique that is slim and fairly androgynous..I'm naturally thin with long legs and I loose weight easily, but at the same time if I lift weights 4-5 days a week my physique gets manlie and the back starts to get into a v-shape (which I'm not really taht happy about).. What do you think of my program so far. I know it will sound weird for a lot of you that I relaly dont want big muscles and want my physique to stay fairly feminine and androgynous, but I just do want that and it's not something I want to discuss. But please give me feedback on my program.
i think I will obviously build some muscles, but I just hope they will be compact and that i will build a different type of strength than if I was to do isolating exercises with weights.
Did anyone ever find out what the name of the song is at :50 to 1:32, been trying to find out for 8 months. And there are a hundred people asking what it is in the comments. Could you please let us know.
Of course calisthenics build big muscles.....but you have to be black.
***** It's not an excuse, it's just biology. Maybe if your opinions were based on reality, instead of lame poetic one liners, you'd have a better grasp of the facts.
*****
I honestly can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not. First you say my comment is a supremacist joke, then you proceed to write one of your own.
***** I don't think you're racist. Just misled and missing the actual meaning of your penultimate paragraph...Look up the meaning of the word "degrowth"...your so-called more intelligent races are responsible for every problem the world has. Blacks are more intelligent for the world as it was...the present world is a photocopy of a copy of a copy- nothing means anything anymore. People put petrol in their cars to drive to little concrete constructions, known as "gyms", to workout. They have to pay once for the car, then a second time for the gym. Waste of money, resources AND time...very intelligent!"Blacks on their own never had any advanced writing system"- language was the worst thing to ever happen to the human race. It can be more easily misinterpreted, especially across different languages and it's just a poor attempt to communicate our thoughts and describe our reality. It removes us from the present moment."never harnessed wild animals". Great! Who wants to be slave-drivers to our fellow beings....oh, wait...that already happened...lol.Advancing civilisation is nothing to be proud of. The "degrowth" movement is seeing many people, predominantly white, purposefully moving towards what some would call an impoverished lifestyle in order to return to their roots and be happier- veganism, minimalism and the exercise movement in tropical environments shows a yearning to go back to whence we came. To essentially become more "black" (if you want to separate us out like that...I personally believe we are one, but your argument is flawed).As for your violence and crimes, the nature of crimes committed by blacks is generally more "animalistic" whereas whites are more known for the crimes against whole nations and people. As well as the more psychotic crimes. I don't know about you, but I can more easily forgive someone for killing/raping one person than I can a government for robbing a whole nation, enslaving a whole race or pilfering a country of it's resources and then saying, "They had weapons of mass destruction".My 2 cents.
***** Thanks for your polite and thorough response. A rarity in CZcams comments :).You made many comments, most of which I still disagree with but one gave me a reason to re-think my stance."That's quite an unfounded claim. Are the white, East Asians, Jews, etc. responsible for famine in Africa for example? Sufferings by North Koreans?" I don't think it's as much the races you mentioned as it is the *divide* (duality) of the races on earth that have created imbalance...polarisation if you will. Some people have too much, others not enough. "I think you are also biased because you're only focusing on "problems" intelligence races created, while neglecting the countless positive benefits they brought to the world." Perhaps...I just think it's too easy for us to talk about the positive benefits when the majority of the world doesn't enjoy them. All things accounted for, there would be more harmony and happiness- with more people's needs met- *as an average* if we removed/hadn't created duality. Of course, that would mean/would have meant a massive downgrade for the fortunate few (of which we are a part of) and more natural selection due to the lack of "advancement" in medicine (
Scott K Dont put down an entire race because you dont have good genetics.. It's just an excuse spawned from prejudice.. Oh i'm not as good it must be because i'm white.. I'm white and I know a hell of a lot of white and extremely athletic people with amazing genetics..
2:48 juat imagine the possibilities
song name: david o' brien - back with the faces
Am I the only one who got emotional? Like you know how when you see something so beautiful that you almost cry? crazy
When training with weights the muscles are fluid because you drink alot of fluid. The Calisthetics are compact muscles, what?
+XCIZC hes trying to explain myofibril cell growth, hes just not too bright..
but its something most atheletes and people who train often obtain..
+XCIZC I doubt he understands much of how muscle is built... Its pretty obvious he heard something about hypertrophy from somewhere, but didn't quite grasp what it entails... and it seems like he thinks people doing weight training build muscle from water? Probably only remembered "fluid retention" and then made up his own science. Maybe he should let someone else do the talking...
+XCIZC Its called broscience, the best science
@BodybuildingRev What is the Song called that starts at 0:53
I think its Sandstorm
my own take on C vs WL is that C is harder because it involves more practice to to get the moves right for the exercises + that is has limitations to max weight lift, but on the other hand you involve a lot of small muscles with C and gets a good cardio included in your "lifting so to speak"
How do you start with calisthenics anyway? What type of calisthenic workouts should I do to target the main muscles in my body? I workout 6 times a week
calisthenics builds strength. gym builds muscles. there is a difference
Gym builds strength too.
Calisthenics build muscles too.
What's important for muscle building is proper nutrition + resistance . Both the gym and calisthenics have these 2 things.
calisthenics builds muscle and strength... look at frank medrano who does only calisthenics and tell me he hasn't built muscle.
what song is that at 0:55?
Michael Vega ???

but who was legs?
Anyone knows the names of the songs at 0.53 and 2.16 ?
You're my favourite channel now
music on 0:50?
I like calisthenics and agree that is very hard to do some things there. But u can't say that squat 140 kg or bench 120 is easier, this is two different training methods with different goals and different difficult. I can't say what is harder because it's like say what is harder, football or basketball. I am a powerlifter bur I want learn some things from Street like human flag and hand standing. Respect every sport guys and respect to everyone who training hard an good luck! p.s sorry for English
Hats off bro keep it up.👍👍👌👌👌
hey guys,I need a genuine opinion here.I have been to body building now for say like 3-4 years,but not on a regular basis,I dont take any kind of juice and have been naturallly building it.Now i wanna try calisthenics,for a more proper aesthetics.But few years back ,i met with an accident and broke my "collarbone"..Since then i have been avoiding exercise which directly put strains in my broken area.But in calisthenics ,i see a lot of stress in the "Collarbone" area.So my question is that can i try this kind of stuff,or should i avoid it.Really looking forward for some genuine reply!
Song at 1:00 ?
what's the title of music used in this vid? can anybody help me?
Nice video!!!!
looks like you guys have alot of fun doing the workouts
So much shitty arguing here. This is better that is better - wtf? Do what you enjoy, admire, be inspired by others. Some love the feel of cold steel, some don't. Some have injuries like fucked joints, do what you can and love it.
0:50 till 1:33 music , what is the name of this song?
BodybuildingRev
***** yeah what is the name pls tell us
***** Use Shazam
***** Shazam doesnt work for me. Have you found out the name of the song?
FuryenLT It's nowhere FUCK! I've searched everywhere!
...Maybe If some one could write what the song says exactly that would help a lot I think
It looks so easy watching these guys do it.
personally for me as a begginer calisthenics helped me a lot more (strength) than other kinds of training but after 3 months i stoped cause i was feeling that i couldnt get any stronger. i am stil doing bodyweight moves when i workout like pull ups and pushups variations
Does anybody know the name of the first song ( 0:50 - 1:33 )
thx!
mcstieg have you found out the name of the song?
FuryenLT sorry i couldnt find it ... Shazam and soundhound didnt find anything and nobody knows the name
mcstieg I wanna know this one too

danilo37012 i dont think so ...
whats the name of that song at around 1:00 ffs! ?
Got a link to that? Been searching for days for that song. Whose rapping?
Still finding it...
That's just amazing! Dude, I've been doing calisthenics for some weeks, and that's just perfect and it's worth( I mean, I can't see results yet besides resistence)! Sure better than gym!
u guyzz are incredibly awesome
Gentlemen, if you do bench, deadlift and squats in CONJUNCTION with these exercises and progressions, I guarantee you will get laid more. Not only if a girl see you doing something like 0:48 after some heavy squats will her panties will explode like a fire hydrant. Try it out, and let the alpha qualities commence..
Not only calisthenics built their muscles. They use weights as well. They wouldn't be that big without them
Exactly
you get big with food and eating not with weight .
you just contradicted 99.99% of athletes who'd say different lol ...
+Kaleb Abbrat Yeah. The majority of them is not buff.
Kaleb Abbrat he has to confuse the calisthenics, right babe?
cool stuff
Well after a lot of research I could not find the name of that legendary song at 0:50 some people say that the artist name is Lowkey, but after searching all his songs I couldn't find it. Still if you search for Lowkey on youtube or Spotify he has nice songs. (Maybe this is one could have been a great hit but there it is.. is just a legend)
So why is it so much trouble to give out the name of the first song? Is there some rule or game or... what's going on? since it's taboo to post publicly can someone please message me the song ? or just... post it. the first one with the rapper, i know his name is Lowkey from reading hundreds of comments. not expecting a response but thanks if someone actually reads and answers instead of just reading like you are doing right now. If you don't know it it's cool :)
Music should be shared with the world
Oh well bro, it's not worth losing sleep on :) just a song. If they don't want to share we'd be wrong to get riled up over that. Time to move on :) We're wasting way too much time on this
Of course calisthenics can build muscle but the movements demand a massive amount of balance and skill that takes away from one's ability to effectively fail or fatigue a muscle or muscle group.
The skill set is very specific to the movements you are performing and will probably not translate into anything other than becoming more proficient at calisthenics or gymnastics. If that is your goal then this is for you.
This is not the most effective way to build muscle and involves a far greater risk of injury. Make sure you have an orthopedic surgeon's number on hand.
The claim that this mode of training builds a denser type of muscle to regular weight training is also fallacious. An individual's muscle density is largely genetically predetermined.
xanthromera So planche requires a lot of balance right? Let me educate you about the planche, front lever and an iron cross, its an 98% strength 2% balance. Your welcome.
Dima Kluchko Seriously wrong, there is a far greater proportion of balance and skill set. Not to mention some of these movements rely on the practitioner having minimal leg size. They are a terrible way to train because of risk of injury, and at best represent a demonstration of balance, skill, and strength.
A pure demonstration of strength would require eliminating, or minimizing any skill requirement. Lifting a heavy weight under control is a better demonstration of pure strength.
Consider for example that Olympic lifts require a greater skill component than any of the 3 power-lifting movements. As you become proficient the skill requirement may reduce but it is always there.
Dima Kluchko As another simple example, consider the difference between a barbell shoulder press and a handstand press. What percentage of skill and balance would you attribute each movement? You could argue that the barbell shoulder press requires 90% strength and 10% skill and balance. The handstand press would require a far greater skill and balance component, perhaps more like 50/50.
Think about how many guys could easily barbell shoulder press their own bodyweight for several repetitions, and yet not be able to do a single handstand press.
xanthromera Please don't ever talk about something you haven't any knowledge about and try to compare any other sport with the gymnastics ( only strength movements) unless you done it and got good at it with some considerable level. Let me tell you that in order to achieve movements such as iron cross you gotta train years! Don't compare calisthenics ( gymnastics) hard movements to lifting weights ever again please thank you.
Dima Kluchko In the absence of any rational argument for your position, you tell me not to comment on something you claim to know more about. Irrelevant either way.
Why not make comparisons to other strength sports? Because you say not to..
Why not discuss relative strength and balance components? Because you say not to..
Go and get a CT scan to see if there is a brain present.
wow! you guys (and gal) inspire me
I dont understand why noone wants to mention the song name at 0:55?
Whats the hip hop song when he is doing a planche 0:53
***** You are the man my man!
***** No problem.
+Megalodon can any one tell me about the song please
puhleeze
what is the name of the song man please? seems like the comment has been deleted or something
Gym = destroy your joints , Calisthenics = strenghten your joints.
Heavy weight builds joints, higher reps builds muscle.
Calisthenics wouldn't build as strong of joints as powerlifting. Are the joints of someone pulling up their body weight stronger than someone who can deadlift 700lbs?
Weightlifting can destroy joints if not done properly and if over done without proper recovery and treatment.
However the body doesn't know the difference in resistance.
How is a weighted pull up any different than a lat pull down, on the joints??
How are isolation holds with the chest and arms any different than with weights?
Are you arguing amount of weight over time? Using less weight over time? Because if we're talking pure strength of joints, weightlifting has calisthenics.
If we're talking assisting MUSCLES, calisthenics has it. If we're talking muscle mass to joint strength ratio, bodybuilding has it. If we're talking muscle mass and joint strength being on par with each other, calisthenics has it.
+hardcorebarbell Gym work outs are most isolated movements, eg. in lat pull down you're sitting and most of your body is stationary putting all the strain on your joints if your form is bad, whereas with pull ups your entire body can move to accomodate the movement so there's less stress on your joints. Also, balancing your entire body recruits far more muscle than isolated movements so you work major and minor muscle groups which form a more cohesive body, unlike static weight movements that target isolated muscles and can risk building an unbalanced phsyique. Calisthenics builds a more complete body as it recruits all muscle to maintain your balance, it's the same reason swiss balls are so effective in the gym, unlike static weight training where you're mostly sitting and working individual muscles allowing minor muscles to lag behind which is why you see so many buff people with disproportionate franken-bodies.
vicx05 Thats only partially true the only way youre really heavily assisted is on machines. Where it takes a natural movement and focused on hitting a certain muscle in a certain way and is assisted. Your argument is too loosely based off of "balance". You can build all the balance you want with a balanced PROGRAM. Of course if all you do is bench and curls youll be imbalanced but thats an entirely different arguement. Calisthenics can create an imbalance just as much as the gym. Pull ups, dips, bodyweight exercise.. But technically your upper body will always be stronger in comparison. The legs can always out do the upper body, so body weight wont nearly be enough. Theres diminishing returns with just higher reps and the same weight. With calisthenics you'd never reach the level of leg strength and balance in your quads, hamstrings, and glutes. You literally cant hit hamstrings as effective without more resistance. The pull up is far more challenging than the bodyweight squat. The pull up is far more challenging than the push up. The resistance isnt the same in ALL areas, so your argument about balance is invalid. Is the body truly balanced with 20 pull ups and 20 push ups??? 50 push ups?? Where is the line for balance vs strength?!?! You'd just be making up your own terms if you say a standard! TRUTH IS you can be MORE balanced WITH PROPER weight training. Balance right? If one head of the tricep is stronger than the rest, than the triceps will always develop two muscle heads lagging behind. The upper chest with never be as developed with just calisthenics. Your argument applies more for free weights vs machines. Because if I thoroughly hit back and chest in the same day, how is calisthenics any more balanced than that????? If I hit every prt of my chest and back, how is a pull up bar and push ups MORE effective than that?? Youre still fighting gravity and if anything your joints have to adjust more for the deadlift and become stronger than any calisthenics can do. If I do bench, incline bench, shoulder press, rows, shrugs, deadlifts, straight leg deadlifts, squats and front squats Id get more more balance than anything I could do with calisthenics. More strength, more muscle, more balance, obviously more joint strength, more overall development, more speed, more power. Its a win win win win.
+hardcorebarbell By balance I meant balancing against gravity which engages almost the entire body as your whole body is engaged working many major and minor muscle groups whereas weights keeps your body stationary to target isolated muslces, hence why I mentioned swiss balls because they do the same thing in the gym. More weight with improper form is more likely to damage joints when your body is stationary, but with calisthenics nothing is stationary. As for gains you can just add more weight, but really calisthenics is about functionality and full body mastery rather than just adding mass.
vicx05 Ok explain to me in whatever way you can, how squatting and deadlifting dont require full body activation. The core, upper, and lower body are fully engaged and working. By your definition staionary doesn't make sense. With pull ups, push ups, and dips, your body is still moving up and down. With squat and deadlift your body is moving up and down!
In fact theres twice the amount of muscle involvement with the deadlift and squat than the pull up and push up. Not to mention the CNS is hit in a way that nothing else can do. Its not all about muscle mass with the gym. Look up Jesse Norris, hes like 200 pounds and early twenties, but is one of the stronest people in the world. He doesn't have an absolute ton of muscle but he's functional for what he does.
Tell me how a pull up is more functional than a deadlift? Are we talking about functionality in life or in athletics??? Because im pretty sure everyone in life is required to pick something up and not pull themselves up. In can in the gym need stabilization just as much as calisthenics. You can cheat JUST as much with calisthenics as you can with dumbbells or compound lifts. Ever seen those kipping pull ups? I've seen cheat push ups all day. Your body is technically more functional if its stronger. So where how does calisthenics equate to more functionality than weight lifting? Beats me!! I don't think you can explain away every major sport and every major athlete using weights to train instead of JUST calisthenics. Football, baseball, basketball, sprinting, boxing, all successful athletes weight train. You say just ass weight to the body weight squat? But with what? Weights, ok. So you can still add weigh and still be unbalanced with calisthenics. Squatting bodyweight all the time and not hitting hamstring enough can make you unbalanced. Doing pull ups but not rows can fuck you up too. Its all about balance of programming not specific exercise over another, thats stupid.
If I have the grip, rear delt, and lat strength to pull down 250 on the machine for 10 controlled reps, I can easily do 20 strict pull ups straight as a board. So tell me where "functionality" plays in again? Functional for what?? If All I want to do is calisthenics, doing pull ups is functional for that. If I powerlift, doing bench assisted exercises is functional for me. Functional is a stupid argument to even make. If a bodybuilder works out whats functionality for him??? Doing bodybuilding. What a functional workout for a tennis player is, doesn't apply to how fast I can run the 100m. Functionality only applies to what you're actually trying to accomplish. Deadlifting will always make your body functional for whatever you do.
I for a fact got more AND more controlled pull ups with heavy deadlift. I did weeks and weeks of deadlifts, and tried some pull ups one time. Flew up and down on the bar. My lats and rear delts were stronger and more explosive. Your argument is flawed and outdated. Its weak and doesn't hold any real world examples. The only place your argument lay in validity, is functionality in calisthenics vs machines, and calisthenics vs bodybuilding.
But calisthenics vs weight training is a stupid and impossible argument to make in your case.
great video ,
Really awesome man :-)

"So You Think CALISTHENICS Don't Build MUSCLE???"
But he also lifts weights. He wouldn't look like that without lifting weights.
+tedbert he were used to. If you want an athlete who has built his body only with calisthenics is the guy of the channel "chickenbreasttv". Now he even train with weights but before he won bodybuilding competitions just with bodyweight exercises :)
Exactly
song on 2:42?
Back with the faces
I always thought body builders can't do calisthenics, u guys proved me wrong, ur awesome 👍
I've been bodybuilding for years and have always been strong in my lifts as well. the heaviest I have ever went in deadlifts was 675 lbs for 3 to 5 reps. I have wanted to excel in calisthetics like this man. does anyone know how I can begin to achieve this?
the only problem is they all skip leg day lmfao!
Dont be stupid
with enough testo anything gains muscle...
This is Amazing!!!
Ok, I'm interested.....but let me tell you that I'm 45 and not in that great of a shape anymore. Arthritis in both wrists, bulging disc in lower back, and I've had 2 heart attacks, but, I want to get into better shape than I've ever been. Would a program like this be feasible for someone like me?
