[@DrSwole]

Weighted chin-ups and dips are prime for hypertrophy and give you a lot of precision over progressive overload as well 👌🏼

[@samsagar]

The absolute specimen: 1. Calisthenics 2. Weightlifting 3. Cardio

[@heavenlypath1065]

I have tools for all 3

[@Fitness_Odyssey]

For the past 4 years i have been doing only calisthenics. Truth is i started with no knowledge at all and had to learn everything the hard way which lead to a slower progress in my strenght and physique. Also nutrition and consistency were 2 big points i was lacking. Anyway, at the end of the last year i moved to a new city because i started going to college and decided to get a gym membership for the first time because i thought i could be more consistent that way. I first started training with calisthenics only, kind of staying in my comfort zone, but slowly integrated weightlifting into my routine as well. I cannot say what an huge impact that has had since the moment i started training both. I discovered i actually have many weak points, especially in the smaller muscle groups such as the biceps, triceps and shoulders because in the compound exercises the big muscles usually take over. After i figured this out i started training them individually with weights and not only that i gained more muscle, but i also noticed better progress in my bodyweight exercises and calisthenics skills. I am very satisfied with the changes i have made and im looking forward to progress more using both bodyweight and freeweight training in order to achieve the best possible results!

Love the "DO BOTH" philosophy. No need to exclusively do one style of training. Hybrid training is awesome. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 🔥🔥🔥 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@fitnessphenomenal2867]

Yeah doing both will benefit whatever you are going

[@TheTaoufikawakening]

They both complete each other greatly. This is highly recommended 🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@KaizenLegacy]

One thing you didn't mention: closed-chain vs open-chain exercises, specifically for beginners. If you are just starting out, it is better to use bodyweight exercises as it will help you learn how to control your body and has a much lower risk of injury (it is much harder to injure yourself doing closed-chain exercises than it is open-chain). Once your relative strength gets too strong for your bodyweight, time to "spice things up".

[@DejiDigital]

The greatest advantage to the hybrid method is that Weights are the best way to bridge the gap between progressions.

[@RaheemBogle]

I always do weights first such a squat, deadlifts, bench press and over head press, then do body weights/callisthenics afterwards. Also throw in some weights for isolation. That’s how I mix both styles of training 💪🏾

[@chicomda8672]

Im the same but I mix each set up together through super set on each muscle group. Bench with dumbells then bang push ups, back with weights then pull ups and so on

[@SuperhumanUnchained]

You are a true fitness genius and we should do both calisthenics and weights because that will make us an overall all-around complete athlete

[@youdontknowme.idontknowyou6904]

I completely agree. All reasons I do both

[@SXLLXNBXE]

squats, rdl, hill sprints, weighted pull-ups/dips/push-ups everyday

[@maahdshahzad6550]

1 million subscribers let’s goooooo! Austin can you do a video on cardio?

[@ELRenigeyoGarciaMonteCarlo]

Im Totally Calisthenics Only Yessssssssss,

[@latrade2159]

You should definitely do both as a result to build maximum muscle, yoga stretches and active performance, also some moderate cardio, don't do all at once, do it moderately and perhaps by itself.

[@jameshansen5129]

What’s your experience been with injury? Would be great to hear how you’ve dealt with it over the years of training calisthenics and weightlifting

[@latrade2159]

On the road to 1million Austin!! 👍💪 We're all gonna make it! lET'S ALWAYS GET BETTER!

[@yangapiliso1535]

Your insight is invaluable man. Thank you 👌🔥👑

[@headicuss]

This is awesome coming from you, weights shouldn't be demonized they both can compliment each other

[@domesticatedape4378]

You can make a hybrid workout video series that's basically something like this Top five weighted exercises to help you achieve full planche. Unlock the front lever faster using weight training. Basically videos about what traditional gym exercises will help people get to the classic awesome calisthenics moves such as handstand push-ups front lever planche muscle up. For example recently I've been doing a lot of overhead press because I want to do handstand push-ups. And lots of straight arm pull-downs for front lever

[@vidaronosu4394]

Nice video i agree with your points and i also do a hybrid workout. But PLEASE fix your pushup execution if you always do them like in 4:26 . Please don't let your head hang down that much and try to touch the ground with your chest. In general try to icrease your range of motion more.

Can you for a moment imagine yourself looking like this guy? Life will be on easy mode. There would be nothing to fail at in life.

[@blackwaterpictures876]

not easy to achieve so no, no easy mode

[@ronaydin353]

but been doing calisthenics for 6 years I been doing both styles of training for 4 to 5 years now I think they both definitely have benefits

[@ydgydywbg]

solid video bro

[@eduardojusto2534]

Calisthenics or Weigth Lifting, what is better to get really Strong and gain Real Strength?

[@davepazz580]

It depends what you mean by "really strong" and "real strength"... Either one will make you really strong, but how you want to *express* that strength determines which one you should choose...

[@Madbandworld]

I am thinking of my free weights training will decrease my bodyweight progress. I have 2 years of calisthenics experience, already can do full planche, but started to go to gym like a month ago, and noticed that now I am doing the planche harder than I WAS doing. So should I continue both, or just pick calisthenics over weights.

[@jakariwright1170]

Doing both makes you far more athletic

[@ronaydin353]

where can I buy the tank top ur wearing that looks dope

[@wo825]

What kind of split should it be? For my weightlifting routine i add pullups and dips, i wouldnt cosider it a bodyweight workout tho. I want to look like frank zane and do all kind of cool bodyweight movements and have insane strengh at all aspects. How to get optimal recovery doing this and the smartest split to do both?

[@TheHabibOfMankind]

Either full body or upper lower. Full body is optimal imo as it build things like general fitness and work capacity and gets you used to volume training. Also use concurrent periodisation it’s a cheat code fr

[@AnthonyVenmans]

Who doesn't want big legs and arms while simultaneously doing Front Levers, Handstand Pusch Up, Muscle Ups and Plances!?

[@davepazz580]

You can get all that with calisthenics alone...

[@TommyGunzzz]

How much did you just shoulder press there!? Awesome job

[@melf9361]

Whaaaaat!!! You added dumbbells and a bench press to spice things up in the bedroom??!??!?

[@κωστης-ι7ψ]

Just do bench press weighted dips weighted pull ups and deadlift these excercise are all u need

[@offlinegabriel7211]

In fact i'm gonna add calisthenics to weights

[@barsonlyIMPROVE]

Fact

[@c00lman47]

Finally someone who says do both people always say to calisthenics then show a weight lifter and someone who does calisthenics doing pull ups of course the calisthenics is gonna do more pull ups the weight lifter is probably gonna lift more if you do both you can big gains

[@calicokahlahdah3709]

Are there any pushups variation for bigger biceps? 💪

[@ghosttoast6317]

Why would you try to target biceps, a muscle group predominantly used in pulling motions, with pushing exercises? You could try RTO push ups, but it would be far better to do chin ups, rows, curls to target biceps.

[@calicokahlahdah3709]

im just starting out and was just wondering, thanks for the tip, i tried pullups but cant hardly do one, gotta keep trying it.👍

[@taddicus8769]

@@calicokahlahdah3709 chin ups are better for biceps than pull ups and they are a little easier

[@imchrissheldon]

biceps require a pulling motion under heavy resistance to build hypertrophy, try weighted chin ups or a progression of australian chin ups or just good ole dumbbell curls

[@manuelthenics]

@@calicokahlahdah3709 You should start off with Australian rows and work your way towards to eccentric pull ups. You may have to use lat pull downs in order to strengthen the muscles involved in a pull up if you have access to a gym. If not, you can purchase some resistance bands and do banded pull downs.

[@samurai1633]

if i do both can i be calisthenics like with static, i wanna do static stuff but i wont focus full on calisthenics i love so much bench deadlift squat... :P

[@almightyqdogg]

Should I do both from the start? I’m literally just starting to workout

[@seanyt4570]

Do calisthenics first for like 2-3 years then change to weight lifting I doing calisthenics for 1 year and 9 months make good progress almost my second year

[@FluksWorkouts]

Awesome video Austin!

[@travis7718]

What kind of split would be optimal if I want to go 6-7 days a week?

[@uhtredofbebbanburg5493]

Push Pull Legs Push Pull Legs Rest Push: Pecs, Delts and Triceps Pull: Back, Biceps and Forearms Legs: Quads, Glutes, Hamstrings and Calves

[@mattromack9997]

How do I mix them though

[@shaunakkhair5097]

calisthenics vs gym what would loose fats fastest

[@blackwaterpictures876]

Starvation would be your best bet

[@heavenlypath1065]

English?

[@calisthenicsindia8498]

Could have used the strength curve word better😅😅. Anyone can get absolute strength with weighted calisthenics and with no bench press. Normal weightlifting training is best for isolation and hypertrophy gains

[@12106445]

Nothing beats free weights when it comes to gaining size and strength. You can with bodyweight exercises but not as good.

[@rover5058]

That's why you should combine them...being aesthetic is great but so is being able to do a handstand or a planche

[@frog6054]

@@rover5058 Calisthenics alone can get you aesthetic benefits though. Unless you want to maximise your muscle mass and strength, then yes weight lifting is a must but being aesthetic, strong and fit can be done with calisthenics alone.

Bro just pay a rapper to give u a good intro

[@Jtzist]

I noticed with calisthenics I got faster and better results

[@cooljtoosaucy]

God Loves You Remember That 🙏🏾✝️❤️

[@speekerlol]

You can do both. It’s called CrossFit 😂

[@Austindunhamfit]

haha lowkey..

[@dumdum713]

Pull up or shut up!

[@Meta_Meech]

If you’re a beginner lifter, the only way to grow is through heavy compound lifts. Which means you have to combine barbell training with body weight training. For example the only compound lifts for the biceps are chin ups, every other compound exercise can be done with barbells, except biceps. This is way you shouldn’t chose between free weights or body weight
