    I started calisthenics without knowing it. I used to do crossfit but because the lockdown in the pandemic I was forced to find ways to train at home without equipment. And I fell in love with it! After the gyms re-opened I went back to crossfit and I realized I didn't want that any more. So instead, one year ago I bought calimove program and I have been training with it eversince, and I'm very happy with it

      I am looking to buy a calimove program but not sure which one should I buy. How did you figure out? I can do pistols, 10 perfect pushups, strict toes to bar, and 1 pull-up.

      @@gomtimehta1366 I went through the same doubt before buying the program. In the website they explain the minimum requirements for each level but I was still unsure if starting from level 3 or level 4. At the end I decided to start from level 3 just to reinforce the basics and have foundations, and I don't regret it. I'll suggest you to do the same unless you are already proficient at skin the cat, handstand push-ups and some variation of planche

      @@gomtimehta1366 there's a questionnaire on their site that will help you pick a good level, I'd recommend starting on the lower end instead of the higher end of difficulty. I'm using the home workout program and it's been great. Takes a lot of the thinking out of the process. Just follow along. Lifelong access is a big deal too. I'm pretty pleased with my purchase

    The last part was like a cold bucket for me, I always thought that I'm well below average, and it was despite people telling me that I have a talent for calisthenics, I thought that after 1.5 year being able to do only muscle up, front lever or even one arm chin up feels like not a big success at all, I was angry at myself that I couldn't match my unrealistic expectations, but this video has opened my eyes about the people doing skills with ease, I don't know their story, I don't know if the video is even real, and if it is, they most likely had a long time with training for that

    Back in 2015, I was preparing for IELTS exam, and in one of the test samples, had a text about Calisthenics and Charles Atlas. Up to that point I was a weight lifter, but was tired to be a slave to the gyms. The idea that I can train my body in a more natural and safe way, within the comfort of my home, appealed to me a lot, and I never looked back since.

    If I may, can I suggest a video idea? How about a video tackling how much it would take to get into Calisthenics? What I mean would be how much ideally would you monetarily spend for equipment, supplements (i.e. if your goal is hypotrophy with calisthenics), and possibly even tackling injuries' expenses?

      Good evening
      This is a personnal opinion, i'm not related to any lab or anything lol
      When i started weight lifting, i was 58kg, 1m76, very thin, now i'm 2 years into mixed weight/cali, and the only supplement i implemented in my diet was for joint pain
      You see every workout i did passive hangs or knee push-ups, i had tremendous sharp pain in my wrists
      without supplement, wrist pain would last 48-72h,
      with in less than 12 hour i had complete recovery
      Chrondroitine 1500mg + Glucosamine 1200mg
      Collagene supplement is bullshit for Joints recovery, don't loose any money to that bs
      And around 4 months ago i started supplementing with creatine, and i don't know if it's a placebo but i feel like going to true failure is much easier but maybe it's just regularity and now i know what i'm doing compared to at the begining of my journey

    I wouldnt say it was a niche in 2012. I mean so much of it has existed for longer than any of us have been alive. Aside from that, around 2007-8 I started watching SixPackShortCuts with Mike Chang on YT. Most of the stuff he posted was calisthenics.
    I've been doing calisthenics for about 17 years now, since I was 10. But only recently started training for gymnastic skills which are now associated with calisthenics (planche, levers, etc)

    @theFriendlyGhst Před rokem +2

    I probably wouldn't have started fitness consistently if it hadn't been for calisthenics. It made it possible to work out without a gym at a time when I couldn't afford one and being able to work at home helped me stay consistent and fit it in my schedule. That said I've never found calisthenics effective for legs without some sort of added weight (turns out pistol squats are easy) and it is hard to progress some movements since it's not just about strength (it can be a balance challenge or suddenly involve joints that are undertrained).

    The push up chart at the end is actually super interesting... So there's a HUGE drop off where there isn't many people that can do 31-50 push ups in a row but then the amount of people double for being able to do 51+ Hell there's more people that can do more than 51 push ups in a row than there are people that can do 21 in a row which is crazy to think about

    Something that might be important as well is that in calisthenics genetic predisposition can play a huge role. For example how tall you are, your frame, your muscle insertions etc. So the gifted people out there, which are generally also the ones you see on social media most frequently, will master certain things way faster than the average person. The "problem" then arises when workout plans and coaching are being sold. Most of the stuff that worked for very talented and gifted people doesn't work for the average person at all, which can be very discuraging in the end. Just for reference on what is regarded as maybe an upper-intermediate move like the front lever: I'm 188 cm and rather skinny. My legs are on the longer side as well and my general talent is definetly not within the pulling game. The front lever for me isn't a move that I can casually unlock just by following some random program for a bit. My programming has to be perfect. My nutrition has to be perfect. My sleep has to be perfect. And I really have to focus most of my time on pulling alone. Only by combining all these things I can reach the front lever. With talent and genetics playing a huge role in calisthenics, people often forget that some stuff just isn't possible for an average person. Not everbody can achieve a 10 s maltese...that's only possible if certain conditions AND hard work is combined.

    What do you think are the best callisthenics exercises for achieving a high heart rate (say zone 3/4, so 85%+ of max) that can be done in an apartment? Exercises involving jumping (tuck jumps, burpees, jumping jacks, etc) seem the best for raising your heart rate, but they lead to unhappy people in rooms below. Typical movements (pushups, squats, etc) don't seem to boost heart rate as much.

    I guess im the "bodybuilder" kind of calisthenic person. The gym at my area are very small to the point we have to "queue up" to use a gym equipment. So i transitioned to calisthenics to build a stronger and bigger body. Started by doing pull up rows to harder variation of push ups now to being able to hold a 2 seconds planche! Its been a on and off journey but its a lifestyle that i wont stop doing.
