Can an Elite Pole Dancer Do Calisthenics Skills?

Today, I'm challenging the world-famous pole dancer, Anastasia Sokolova, to try calisthenics. I've prepared five different calisthenics movement , ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Let's see if she can perform a handstand or a planche.

Its actually incredible how well the two disciplines compliment each other

[@hemartej]

complement

[@knightnight5652]

For a woman, 12 pull ups after a strength intensive session is insane ! this girl is strong as fuuuuuuuuuck ! respect, she really put the work in ! It's nice to see girls that have that much skill for a change !

[@wladynoszhighlights5989]

Of course, strength exercises like the pullup are generally much harder for women, because their back is not built like for men @@Hanse-dx1wv

[@wladynoszhighlights5989]

I agree, she is very very skilled!

[@wilmerdimitribardalesromero]

@@Hanse-dx1wv what's the bad thing about saying that?Its true that womans are genetically much weaker than mans and produce less testosterone what makes doing pull ups and push ups for womans more difficult

For a woman? Don't act all mighty here. 80% dudes won't manage this.

[@SirTE0]

I'm officially in love with this awesome girl! 😍Talking seriously 12 pull-ups are INSANE not only because she's a woman but also because she did 'em at the end of an exercise session. She's also the first human being I've ever seen in my life who can do more pull-ups than push-ups, this is quite weird and funny at the same time.

[@andrystrong1]

Yes. She is very strong in pull up. I think if she try to do push up in the beginning, than she could do more

[@Twzzy]

I mean if you think about pole dancing, she does a lot of pulling/holding onto the pole, therefore it kinda makes sense, but I agree it's funny to see someone being able to do more pull-ups than push-ups

[@MathRiffGaming]

She did the push ups after training session and after 12 pullups, u have to consider that

[@jehushaphat]

I know quite a few rock climbers who do more pull-ups than push-ups. They generally don't use a lot of pushing in their routine. Don't know much about pole dancing, but perhaps it's similar.

[@thisisdefinitelytrix]

Ex pole dancer here, pole is almost entirely pull. I was able to do 10 consecutive pullups with zero training, only pole training.

[@mikekn7033]

She’s real talented and strooooong! Perfect strict pull-ups and push up forms! If she’s in real calisthenics training, she is an elite. Hat off! Beautiful and extremely strong!

[@Kw4Mc]

cause 99% of girls in calisthenics suck

[@Justice2Hearts]

She can definitely do the techniques she missed with a little more practice. Her strength is insane.

[@Lonelywarmsoul]

Im really impressed,she did 12 pull-ups after trying some of the challenging Calisthenics movements ! She's crazingly strong,her weight is only 48 ??? She have big muscles on such a light weight,Andry is so frickin strong too,he makes handstand and and bent arm planche looks easy,he even did pull-ups with Anastasia on his back,the guy is really strong,i subbed,this is my first time watching u guys,sending love from Morocco 🫶🏼💜

[@SprintyX]

its crazy how her pulling strangth is stronger then pushing. The first ever person I saw that can do more pullups then push ups.

[@andrystrong1]

Me too. 12 pull up it’s crazy result

[@t.r.inight]

Pole dance is pulling, not pushing so yeah

[@SprintyX]

@@t.r.inight Still pushups are arguably one of the most easiest bodyweight exercises. While on the other side, pull ups are the hardest basic skill.

[@dashaiatsenko]

thats because in pole dancing she always pulls her body up, theres never any pushing moments.

[@SprintyX]

@@dashaiatsenko that is still insane. I see you are a fitness coacher too

[@survivalcharades]

Kudos to the guy in the background in the second half, determined to demonstrate that he was stronger than a girl. 🙄 Respect to the camera angles that kept trying to spare us from that debacle.

[@jonathananderson5990]

@@UNLIMITED_WMSEEDS Genuine question: what about her is unnatural?

[@livs3270]

@@jonathananderson5990yeah I don’t get it either, her body looks completely natural to me. Maybe they mean she doesn’t look “normal”, ie overweight.

[@blackcat138]

Ofcourse she can do pullups easily, she's a poll dancer, she has strong grip,strong upper body and core.

[@deadlypendroppingby]

Yeah she's hanging from the pole against gravity and not so much pushing

[@BlinkyB23]

Being strong in pole does not necessarily mean you can do many pull-ups. Ofc she seems very strong overall so she can do them but, in general, you engage very different pole muscles doing pole movements than you do pull-ups. To do pull-ups you need to train/condition for them.

[@M_MARZ]

Anastasia is awesome, following her since she went Ukraine Got Talent (that pole dance show with Marilyn Manson was amazing) You can see how skilled she is, besides she is reaaly cute and have a great atlethic phisique

[@ultraultralegend9110]

Bro there is already a video on this Just before this video 😂😊

[@consistentbass]

Both her athleticism and charisma are amazing!

[@raduconstantin9015]

I had a unique experience in my life. For 1 year I carried plasterboards up the stairs and difficult places to access, sometimes impossible to get to with machinery. The technique was quite strange at first, you'd lean a board against your back, grab it with both arms by the sides and go up the stairs and at the end to get through doorways you'd have to flip it so it's horizontal while grabbing it again with both hands and balance it. It's insane how much strength I gained from doing that 5 days a week for a year. After only 1 month I was carrying 2 plasterboards on my back and up the stairs ( for reference that is 60 to 70kg ). Doing like 30-40 trips with that weight per day. At the end of the 1 year when I actually quit because I was starting to get bone aches and I though I've had enough, I was able to carry 3-4 boards at one time ( that is around 110kg ) up 3-4 flights of stairs. Now I'm 37 and I'm 90kg of power, everything is just so easy now, I feel like that experience changed the game for me.

[@AsucaTheBLUBB]

Apparently I was basically a calisthenics pro as a child. Used to do all of this on the playground back then. But unfortunately female puberty ruined my muscle/bodyfat ratio and now I cannot even do a single pull up anymore 😭

[@hunatya3183]

12 pull ups but 11 push ups is one of the strangest results I have ever heard :D also, 48 kg with that much muscle is extremly low, may I ask how tall is she? nevertheless massive respect to Anastasia for her determination in the video! and thanks Andry! :)

[@GG______]

It is because you don't use your pushing strength that much in pole dancing.

[@MathRiffGaming]

She did that after the skills and after 12 pullups, u have to consider that

[@GG______]

@MathRiffGaming Still doesn't make a big difference because it is a different muscle group. So maybe it made a difference by like 2 push-ups because of the lactic acid build-up and some chest engagement in the pull-ups.

[@Far4denza]

@@GG______ you use both pushing and pulling strength in pole dancing. Lots of moves require both push from one arm and pull from another at the same time

[@GG______]

@@Far4denza That's why I said you don't use pushing strength that much in pole dancing.

[@Orimthekeyacolite]

Honestly, a great example of a well balanced feminine physique. Pronounced abs, visible biceps and quads, yet still a healthy amount of fat for a womans body, making for them tasty curves🍰 I hope society keeps moving in that direction as far as our "beauty standards"

I love Anastasia! Been following her since 2017 after I watched her video in KZbin Ukraine Got Talent. I love her technique in pole. Sexy, powerful and explosive. I am so happy to see this 2nd part of this pole cali video. I do both sports. 5 years Calisthenics and 9 months pole. I am in love with both and I must say they help each other in my progress in both sports. I am happy to see that I can do better some stuff in Cali than her but then she only did it for the first time anyway. And she does amazing skills in pole that I can only achieve in years of practice. Thanks for this video!

Анастасия Соколова, удивила, прям очень!!!

[@jacquelinen5059]

I used to do pole dance and Lyra (hanging hoop) but I had to stop because I couldn’t afford the membership to the studio anymore and wasn’t able to install a pole in my home. I was heartbroken because I loved it so much and felt so strong doing it. I got into a workout slump because going to the gym was so depressing, but then I learned about calisthenics :) It honestly reminds me of pole and lyra in so many ways. So many of the moves are similar or even the same like skin the cat, meathook, etc. even the way he pulled up and then flipped himself onto the bar was exactly the way I mounted the hoop! These two sports really complement each other.

[@thisisYashaswi]

So, I need to learn pole dancing to get strong at callisthenics? I've been trying for years and can barely hold a tuck planche while she could do a full planche, if she trained for it, in a month or two!

[@mojeprice9654]

i can guarantee that anastasia didnt want to embarass him and tried to ‘fail’ several times. what he gave her to do was significantly easier and PART of what she does on the pole all the time. for example whenshe is supposed to do a handstand - she does it all the time in pole, to get onto the pole through a thigh grab.

[@mojeprice9654]

also, moderately good pole dancers do like 20 pushups and 2-3 min planks. anastasia can probably do 60 pushups withoit breaking a sweat.

[@VeganLiving247]

Yes I kinda wondered about that too for the handstands part. Unless just holding onto it fr the bars was a bit hard, plus after doing the previous 6 challenges could have been a bit tired. Overall still liked this video and him trying pole though!

[@tkennedy166]

holding onto the bars makes it much harder than just balancing on your hands, especially after different workouts. A majority of these things she would've done much better on if she had more tricep strength and just more practice with the movements, but she did incredibly well with no calisthenics training.

[@PrecisoMudar-ke5td]
