Calisthenics Vs Weights Vs Machines With Mike Israetel

[@FitnessFAQs]

Hey you legends, watch the full podcast here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4CVhXqjqMmImMU

[@Doris-i4x]

Great snippet of this topic. Dr. Mike is a very intelligent man & easy to listen to. Agree, why limit yourself to just one discipline, utilise all three to your advantage as long as we get the end result we want.

[@delko-c6m]

Because my wallet won't handle gym subscription.

[@aliihotii]

Daniel is cool! He mimicks to agree with Mike but doesn't verbally interrupt him.

[@jimmcfarland9318]

Having worked with injured athletes, my advice was and is: Don't worry yourself about what you can't do; focus on what you CAN do. Prayer pulldown exercise is a good example of this. Thanks!

[@turul9392]

Calisthenics in combination with free weights and machines are the way to go. Exactly what I've been saying. Thank you Dr. Mike.

[@williamrodriguez7551]

I have exercising/ Lifting weights Since I was in my late teens. I really took it seriously and joined a Gym when I was 18 yrs old. I have Thank God learned alot on Workouts Staying Fit. I'm 62 now. I believe in Training with All Three. Calisthenics, Weights And Or Machines. Here's To Fitness Steel Sharpens Steel. Always Keep Training No Matter What. It's The Best

[@adonisvillain]

wow, this man sounds like an expert. gonna try machine tomorrow in the gym. not just weighted pull-ups and kettlebell

[@iceprada2]

Sounding an actually being an expert is too different things. I don’t care how long that roid head did in school, actually having experience in both fields is way more valuable. He can’t do a full rom pull up to save his life! Please go to That’s Good Money on KZbin and learn from real calisthenics athletes from the place it was birthed at, the streets of NYC!

[@MartilloB]

@@iceprada2 dude, Mike does _weighted_ pull-ups. He showed footage of his earlier training days doing pull-ups where was also much fatter

2 people i like are in conversation. The professor and the professor of the future

[@lap6332]

Exactly what I am trying to figure out, thanks

[@OreHoFull]

Two legends. Fire. Congrats Daniel, keep up the great content 🔥

[@plnkfloydian7814]

I recently went to the gym to help a family member out and did some arms and shoulders, mostly machine and cables. Was sore for like 4 days. Was so chill to just sit there and do tempo reps vs Jerry rigging things for my calisthenics

[@ninjadudeofficial]

Loved seeing the behind the body cable curls. Awkward to set up and have both a bench and two stacks so I don't often do them, but they're hard to beat for a bicep isolation exercise

[@DarthNoshitam]

I'm super interested in learning more about how to use machines to increase strength for calisthenics, e.g., chest supported row machine to build strength for front lever (?)

[@gutierrezgainz]

By no means an expert but my impression is that machines are nice to use for calisthenics athletes to increase mass in areas that are not properly stimulated from the skill training alone. In the example you provided, I could see chest support rows giving more stimulus to the traps, rhomboids, etc. in a way that front lever training wouldn’t be able to replicate alone because they’re fundamentally different movement patterns - but chest support rows by themselves are not going to lead to insane plateau breaks in the front lever per se.

[@tilmanrotationalinvariant2257]

@@gutierrezgainz agreed. Spend your time with preexercises, which mimic the movement as closely as possible. Doing one set of rows at the end of your workout won't hurt though.

[@nonchalantman6246]

I do weighted calisthenics

[@LucidStrike]

Calisthenics is my main squeeze, but a few months ago I temporarily started going to the gym instead to hone in on this last 5% of my physique. Mostly focusing on things that aren't as easily targeted by calisthenics - legs, glutes, side delts, upper chest, biceps. (Note I only said "as easily") The bicep work in particular is actually about preparing to start training for one-arm pullups and full planche pushups, both of which are greatly helped by having larger biceps - assuming you don't have the advantage of being tiny or having chicken legs. After the hypertrophy phase is complete, I'm goin' back to calisthenics but powerlifting for a while to hit some strength targets.

[@daniilborgantsoev2826]

Wow very helpful this video🔥

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

I'm 6'8". I like squats. They ain't easy though.

[@vorsillionx]

It actually boils down from preference and availability. Back when I was a member of the gym, I do them ALL. I currently work out at home so my options are limited and I choose what's available. If I am on the move like on a vacation or something, I may be able to squeeze some bodyweight training in the park or in a hotel, etc.

He posted on YT his photo with one shoulder photoshopped. The other one was forgotten.

[@tiagogoncalves8330]

Hey Daniel, could you make a video about push Pull legs, and if we repeat the same exercises on both Pull day, as an example? Like your videos!!

[@tatacraft791]

Mike chilled tf out

[@gur262]

After 5 rounds running i conclude I prefer machines even when it comes to cardio 🚲

[@sotecluxan4221]

Those u can do everywhere!

[@HaggisDruid]

Man, I've taken my reliable elbows for granted. So much of my training would get wrecked if that joint gave me issues.

[@DejiDigital]

There is no Vs. It all depends on what your goals are and what you have access to

[@ew-zd1th]

I have the theory that the lower traps and pec minor and serratos are massivly undertrained and far away from there Maximum Hypertrophy potencial in the Most even advanced people, because shoulder Depression and protractions never got any near failure in every normal movements, for example i do 3 Sets especial the ladtvone the failure on the pulldown and without Rest i can do over 15 scap Depression l, that means that the lower Trap got nothing from this exercise

[@rayhunt6696]

Although I do agree that weights and Calisthenics combined gives the best results, Calisthenics is not just an arena where you merely show off your skills. With Calisthenics, you build agility, conditioning and mobility; things you need you need in the real world.

[@Seanonyoutube]

It’s all grey area. Weightlifting is also a sport…

[@gur262]

Not sure how pullups make me agile. Really not. Box step-ups and jumping up a box. That maybe. Unfortunate there's no such structure at the calisthenics park...

[@joegomez5463]

With weights, you build the ability to lift really heavy things. A skill you need at a lot of jobs / when moving stuff in your apartment. Training is 100000% situational. I do weights, calistenics, and a little cardio, and in fact my favorite movements are running / jumping movements. I really like sprinting and joging, etc. However, weights have 100000% enganced both fields. As long as I keep my body weight a certain ratio (in terms of power to weight), the strength / power you get from weight training really helps. Some people train for strongman, some for Bodybuilding competitions, some for sports. But most top-level athletes and olympians use weights and machines.

[@TurdBoi666]

Any evidence fir thar

[@Ripheart789]

I'm not sure when I need agility in the real world nowadays

[@debless9]

Don't gym rings help with more targeted workouts?

[@skateratuli6500]

Underrated af

[@mahdioualane]

Hey bro, I just hit 17 yrs old not that long ago, i weight around 58kg and 172cm tall I can do on average : 8-10 pullups/chinups 30 pushups woth 36 being my current pb And 15-20 dips That good? Also you've been a great inspiration ❤

[@ApeironTO]

why do cable straight arm pull downs if i can do front lever pulls

[@lucianoarrieta5786]

Can’t we combine the three?😅

[@ew-zd1th]

I got the best upper Chest and maybe only upper Chest Pump on pushup with the feet elevated(decline pushups) i got a weightest vest but with a weighted vest IT feels akward and while i do the Set the weight comes down to my head, IT sucks any ideas?

[@jimmcfarland9318]

People think fundamentalism is only related to religion; you can be a free weight fundamentalist, a calisthenics fundamentalist or a machine fundamentalist. Don't mistake my comment for someone with a "coexist) sticker: I'm a Christ Follower. But fundamentalism as a general concept is usually a bad idea, especially where health and fitness concepts are concerned - including diet! Some of the worst fundamentalists I've ever met are vegans! (I like to taunt them by telling them that they shouldn't eat greens - have they ever heard the shrieks of a tormented broccoli?)

With machines you can apply kizen principle but not in calisthenics

[@stevenlake5278]

Biomechanically calisthenics transfer to real life usage.

From 2005-2010 twice a week i would do 400 plus in an hour. I never had elbow issues. 2011 started using weight. 2014 i got bored with working out. Im 45 its 2024 and im starting to get back into this. I feel great. I dont think i ever used machines

[@Ruudwardt]

Mike, no jokes to failure. What's going on man?
