7:00 I can do one arm backbend press and hold, I call it one arm bridge flag press

Just achieved my first one arm pull ups on left and right hands. Being doing weighted pull ups and I am still adding almost 2.5kg every week for my working weight. atm at +27.5 x 9 reps. Also being doing armwrestling which trains forearm, hand and grip strength which helps a lot.

Love it, what about one arm handstand next?

Basic barbell work for many years, the lower body proportion of mass increases… in short, big butts are seldom seen achieving front levers.

I’d like if he incorporated Bruse Lee’s dragon flag exercises. Until then no like

In Calisthenics you move your whole body through space. So forearm flexion is not a calisthenics exercise

to do a video like this and not include the most important factor, which is arm length(ape index), is just insane.

Bro why's your last video before two years? Is everything ok?

i train legs mostly for overall sprint speed (for escapes, and chasing) and overall jump height (which aids in climbing up something, which is what a muscle up is suppose to train). and if they get bigger, then that makes me hotter, and i don't really care because I'd like to spend more time building mass on my upper, progressing too quick turns it stale.

7:38 well,now you may.

No way front lever is harder than planche.

This is genius. Please make videos like this for every advanced calisthenics technique

I will do it someday and in 2030s some kid will find this comment and will be eager to know , did i do it. So yeah i did, checkout the video somewhere in my account.💪

Beware of crunches.They are a waste of time.To build your abs do any combo of chin ups, deadlifts , dragon flags and toes to bar, at least 2 of any of them.Ideally, include chin ups.Illogical as it may seem, they do wonders for the abs.

what if i train legs for strenght and not hyprtrophy

fellow nerd fellow calisthenics athlete noice

zef zakavelli the original.

I feel like I’m never gonna get the press to handstand. It’s so frustrating. I can do handstand hold and tuck eccentrics but..the P2H just isn’t clicking. I’ve watched so many videos about it. But I will try your Wall Handstand Leans and see if that helps me.

I absolutely love using rings to train powerlifting. I feel like the instability there becomes an advantage because it directly engages the stabilizers necessary to build a very heavy bench press. I worked my way up from inclined BW ring pushups to declined ring pushups with a weighted vest and in the process, my bench press numbers soared.

It's like porn you don't need a definition, when you see it you know what it is 😆

Loved this! So much of the info that I want/needed all in one place. You gained a sub!

late to this but always right - you don't need hypertrophy. You - don't - need - it. Muscles come one way or another. Stay on top of your workout and as you age watch out for injuries and eating and drinking. Nothing more. Mike is always repeating push to the limit hypertrophy bla bla. I don't want to be bigger. Can't buy new clothes all the time. Don't want to look like a retarded dwarf . That is not normal. Normal is good, not overbulked , not overshredded.

In France we call it Street Lifting, mix of Street Workout and Lifting, problem solved

Bro 1 hr vdo of pull up? U wild probably

For some reason I am way stronger at the front lever progressions if I dont do them on the bar but on my hangbord which I use for fingerstrenght training. I dont know whats behind it but I manage to recruit my muscles way better. Minimum 30% stronger in hold duration that way.

Thanks for sharing, great content,

Isn't calisthenics just closed movements? Basically ur moving ur body through space instead of moving a weight through space

Calisthenics is a kind of training that requires and develops strength (sthenos) and that begets beauty (kalos), either in the body of the practitioner due to muscle growth, or because the movement or position is itself beautiful, like a planche press to handstand. Furthermore, the movements and forms done must have this effect even if external weight is not added. Curling the air and walking are not calisthenics because they do not build beautiful strength; they only restore health in injured individuals. Although the individuals become stronger and more beautiful this way, and have thus come closer to being strong and beautiful, no one would say that the ability to curl the air effortlessly makes someone strong, because of the standards we have for our species. The average human can already do it. Therefore, the person did not become strong or beautiful, and therefore it was not calisthenics. The person became healthy. Weighted calisthenics is just adding weight to a movement that itself qualifies as calisthenics, meaning that it begets strength and beauty when done unweighted, in healthy and average humans.

i just pull and up, why the need of so much investigation?

Don't strive to be perfect. Strive to be the best version of you. Trying to be perfect will drive you insane.

The fact is most people who train do it for personal cosmetic reasons/hobby. If you want to become competitive/elite in calisthenics then training your legs to a point you are building muscle mass is a negative. I train my legs personally, but only once a week and not heavy, but higher repetitions. I do it for maintenance and to keep them strong and active. I don't do it for size.

Why is front lever better than planche? Because I cant planche :(

Ohhhhh wiwwwww

Im glad I saw this video❤

I’m 198cm and first time trying I can almost do front lever. It suprised me, I will be doing it perfectly within a couple of months for certain.

why are you dismantling calisthenics like that by this logic alone, ANY and all exercise that uses weights is a weighted calisthenics exercise, as all movements require force against gravity, or in certain cases, against a point of tension.

Appreciate this content. It's been very informative and vital to help decide what to focus on. _ 🇿🇦 #Pawsthenics 🐾

You can always do sprint training. Sprints will give you strong, athletic legs without the unnecessary bulk, as well as improve cardiopulmonary strength and endurance.

Me after 3 years hoping I win the giveaway rings :') Awesome info !

for the height and weight for front lever , you also need take take the arms' length into account , my friend and I have the same pulling power and same force but he can do front lever easier 'cause of his arms's length (for statics it's easier on people with longer arms)

Nice video but plz add timestamps

the golden video for Calisthenics community

i think there is an error because if you increase the ORM the OAP chanche goes down

You should check GeekClimber video on front lever where, throught math and physics, he concludes that arm length is a huuude deal. He event builds himself wooden "longer arms" and improves its front level a lot

35:35 VICE documentary ahh interview

Unlike most of the channels this guy seems to be more relatable

7:40 That must becouse whos have only tuck haves much weight in legs

The full nordic curl is a difficult and aesthetic leg skill in its own right, and a tiny bit of extra hamstring mass isn't going to hurt your front lever.

Wow soo informative &motivational. U don't have a massive ego either.🤜🤛 I'm 50,was at the forefront of bouldering l8 90s. Last15 yrs heroin addict,now in recovery,attempting to pick up,where I fell off!?!.. 💀🙏
