FitnessFAQs Daniel, at one time didn’t you have a video on how to integrate weightlifting into your calisthenics routine? I looked on your channel but could not find it. Can you post here a link to said video please.

kai green wouldn't agree with you about the repetition range cuz he often do 3-4 sets of 20, 15, 12/10 repetitions. do a video how to be big as dejan stipke, please.

[@meyoumovie]

esta canail Helpful but not the exact video I was looking for or remember. Thank you!

[@dandykaligis]

Dear Daniel.. would you try to colabs with Magnus Midbø? He is an ex pro-climber and an active youtube content creator for climbing also.. I train calisthenic but when I got bored I also train for boulder (indoor) climbing.. both sport are very similar in someway.. I think it will be great If you colabs with magnus for some variations of training. Thank you

Idk why, but it's satisfying to watch Daniel doing tuck front lever rows.

[@danieladamczyk4024]

ok

[@alexandredantas9029]

True

[@yoyo-gv8zs]

because he does them so clean

[@TheScalyArab]

Maybe it's your homosexual tendencies that predispose you to such things?

[@joseviu969]

because its the collest row ever, weighted row with feet on the ground are for pussies

Excellent video. I’ve made great gains over the past year and my buddies were always giving me shit that I don’t go to the gym and I won’t gain muscle if I don’t always lift. Thanks to you, Daniel and calisthenic movement I’ve learned sooo much. Training calisthenics is so much more enjoyable and interesting...I can do it in my bedroom, in the garden or at the park. Anytime I want. And at the end of the day you can do crazy looking skills that lifters can’t.

Real talk once again

[@ClarkyXPH]

I love this video. I have watched it a couple of times and need to come back and watch again a few more. So much to take away. I'm a hard gainer and tried the Bodyweight Evolution program and got stuck a few weeks in because I found the volume too high for me, I think I was over training. I still think I overtrain. Need to find those useful reps and not go to failure so much. I really loved the 100 pull up work out that I did yesterday, that got me pumped.

[@juanfernandomoreno2804]

Brilliant stuff Daniel, please give this man a round of applause

[@martinr2040]

i missed a mention of the fact that excentric exercise puts huge stress on the nervous system aswell, which can get us into overtraining fast. as a physiotherapist i would recommend limiting the excentric exercises to 2 per training session and 1-2 sessions per week for beginners. it is a great tool to break a plateau for someone advanced tho. otherwise great vid! BW people often just durdle around and dont make the full 3 sets when they are training. your emphasis on structured having a structured training will surely help many people get those gaiins :)

[@vladneacsu7999]

i do weighted ring chest flies and i do bodyweight bodybulding from 2 years now

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

I think calisthenics are incredibly effective for certain body parts (especially the lats, abs, biceps and triceps) but it really falters for other muscle groups (like the traps, forearms and legs). I like to mix stuff up for maximal hypertrophy gains.

[@omgmaster9985]

Forearms!? Calisthenics works forearms like few sports can

[@rocky8838]

@@omgmaster9985 Exactly. Hanging on a bar while doing pull ups, muscle ups, front and back levers will burn your forearms like crazy, so that fella has no idea what he's talking about. Also, let's see him do weighted pistol squats for double digits and pyramid box squats and then say that calisthenics falter in the leg department.

[@ATIRX]

Kriss Kringle weighted pistol squats? If those are calisthenics then weighted bodyweight squats are too(also called barbell squats).

[@omgmaster9985]

@@ATIRX actually a powerlifter that squats a Lot would probably have trouble in doing bodyweight pistol squats

[@unnaturalatrophy5377]

You are right about legs. If pure size and strength is your only goal then you need weight, especially for quads and calves. You can get great hamstrings and glutes by Nordic curls/glute ham raises. It's the best for hamstrings. However it's extremely false that forearms and traps aren't trained enough in calisthenics. What are you saying? Ever held a false grip? Weighted chin ups, one arm pull ups, basically every pulling movement with the bar will amazingly train your forearms. And upper traps are also trained while handstand push ups/handstand training/front lever which are the base of calisthenics.

[@albania8982]

Good work Daniel. Respect from Albania

[@pedrosolisgarcia5059]

Thanks Daniel! Quite a nice video!! One thing you didn’t mention! The same as you gave a recommended amount of reps in each dynamic move, would you also point out the recommended duration of isometric holds to optimize muscle growth? Thanks!! 😊💪🏼

I am starting today with the basics of calisthenics I've never cared about the calisthenic skills and don't plan on learning or doing them, push up, pull up, chin up, dip. I just wanted something thats quicker and whole body and compound movements to keep things short and quick and simple, though i will be throwing some dumbell work in there too like side lateral raises, rear delt raises and some bicep curls , incline bench press. Ive got fitnessfaqs begin body weight program so ill be modifying and firing that baby up today 👍

Any tips for someone struggling with the L-sit / L-hang? I feel one part lacking is strength but another is flexibility. I've notoriously tight calves, even though I stretch them after each run (about 3 times a week). Do you know of any regimen or workout/flex routine that would target these two problems for the L-sit/L-hang?

[@knowledgecapsule7082]

Yes........ you're right....... calisthenics is far better than free weights .........I get 14.5 inches biceps from 12 inches biceps in just 5-6 months calisthenics and bodyweight training...........I think calisthenics is the best way to build muscle

[@michaelharris8913]

fantastic vid, thank you as ever for your high quality content. regarding the muscle activation research you mentioned, is there any chance of grabbing a link for that? :)

[@kegwg1830]

Im sorry for asking such a frequently asked question, but first of a little bit about myself: I’ve already been to the gym a few years back and with that being said I trained what is known as I’d call it hypertrophy specific training with about 3 sets and 10-12 reps each. Now to my question: My goal is to develope a good looking physique without having too much muscle mass and on the other hand I want a good amount of strength. I don’t know whether I only primarily develope a better mind-muscle connection recruit more muscle cells and so on or whether I’m also building up enough muscle mass by training strength specific as well for my goals and to what degree I am building muscle to have both goals relatively good combined. I appreciate your time, help and answer. Thank you!

[@josefernandez1302]

Thanks You . Gracias Daniel.

[@peteralexis5358]

3:45 larger muscle units are recruited with larger force (f=ma) NOT fatigue. Fatiguing a motor unit causes work to drop and other smaller motor units will(more oxidative) will compensate. When the main muscle used is fatigued it looks to accessory muscles for help/compensation (shoulders when doing bench). Fatiguing a muscle also does not mean you will activate the intended motor unit as this is dictated solely by %max force exerted, less force=smaller motor unit/muscle.

[@Marta1Buck]

Yes it is possible. But the result is quite different from body building. Maybe because lack of isolation in calisthenics, but whatever, good physic is good physic.

[@BigEarle]

Hello Daniel, I have been adding muscle up negatives into my program for the last two weeks and have found that my left shoulder (rotator cuff?) has been causing me pain. Is there a correction in my form you could suggest, or am i simply not strong enough to be attempting muscle up negatives yet? P.S.- The information that you impart on all the videos I’ve watched have seriously inspired me. Keep up the good work.

[@GoldenMole]

Hey bro! You probably dont have enough shoulder flexibility and its super important, work on that and do easier progressions of the muscle-ups for a time, then try it again!

[@rishabhpandey3413]

No doubt calisthenics build some serious muscle. But this requires patience, unlike using external weights which is pretty straight forward. Speaking from experience, we as calisthenics athletes, we can't leave any weak links, since every movement and skill will build the foundation for further skills.

Hey Daniel, I really want to get into calisthenics-based training, but I’ve got a bit of a beer belly at the moment.

[@krissompson8228]

Hi Daniel, i know that doing both horizontal(rows and variations of it) and vertical pulling(pull ups,chin ups etc)are important for a beginner in calisthenics but if someone becomes more advanced what style of pulls should he focus more(horizontal or vertical) and also what would you choose ,which one would be more beneficial for a calisthenics athlete if he is an advanced one?

[@davepazz580]

Even if you are advanced, you should still do both vertical and horizontal pulling movements...

You will grow lots of muscle with high volume calisthenics more effectively than just lower reps
