Ever since I started watching FitnessQAQs three months ago, I started applying calisthenics into my workout routine, I'm amazed at the results of calisthenics body weight training. Within three months, I've gotten bigger in muscle mass and muscle strength as well. I now mostly do calisthenics instead of lifting weights. Cheers from Austin, Texas !!!

Great advice in this video, sir. I can confirm the efficacy of movements like push ups, pull ups, pike presses, inverted rows, dips, chin ups, and body weight squats for hypertrophy. These exercises are always in my workouts each week. Best regards, gents

Only thing I do not agree upon is “pushing down” pattern but not agreeing on “pulling down” pattern, as in upside down dips. Dips is a horizontal pushing exercise wether you like it or not. Lift the hips slightly and you are doing planche push ups which is horizontal, so why say dips are vertical? The body might go vertical up and down but so it does in normal push ups? The shoulder and chest do NOT go into the vertical plane. Dips = horizontal pushing category.

@문현우-s8c 10 ай бұрын

I can totally see your point, I guess they intended "pushing down" as exercises that are meant to target lower chest in general...

One meal a day is still a good thing for longevity, but if you want to build muscle I would eat a minimum of two meals per day to get your nutrients in.

Agreed, intermittent fasting has great health value, and there is a middle path between the exclusive pursuit of physique vs longevity. Two nutrient-dense meals should fit easily within an IF window.

That’s too much… you won’t get nearly the same results as if you did split training or if you train every other day. Your body/muscles need rest

@naturalgains4229 10 ай бұрын

Honestly the way I do it is just going to failure. You can do normal reps or really slow reps doesn’t matter. Try to reach failure in 1 or 2 sets to save energy but ultimately it doesn’t matter when you achieve failure as long as you don’t spin your wheels with junk volume. I would do, pike pushups, pushups, chin ups, bodyweight rows, lunges one leg at a time, and single leg raises, and crunches or reverse crunches. I wouldn’t train everyday if you train to failure and I wouldn’t hit the same muscle more than twice a week, it may take you up to 4 or 5 days to recover before you can hit the same muscle again, but recovery varies from individual to individual.

I think Calisthenics is really good as accessory to other sports. My sport is disc golf, and it has a very specific type of muscle activation. You have to be loose, like a whip. but you also need to be fast and explosive. I find that free weights like the big 3 fatigues me to the point that I can't have a good round of disc golf. But in my experience, calisthenics doesn't "cost" as much in terms of CNS fatigue. I also do plyometric work, sprints and long distance running for my legs, and those are more transferable to the type of throwing power I need. Firas Zahabi, MMA trainer, talks about this when prepping his fighters for upcoming fights. He would have George st Pierre do gymnastics before a fight, because free weights would eat into the energy output of sparring. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGexm5htntOEd8k

@TheAnalystGmail 10 ай бұрын

By rule of thumb, around 6kg in first year, each year after that it halfs. So 2 to 3 years for 10kg. Be aware that you lose fat as well so your overall body weight might change differently.

@@YogeshBora-f3o I am not a doctor so you have to further inform yourself, but from my expiriences and what I read: Protein 0.8g/kg - 2g/kg of bodyweight is reccomended depending if you follow European or US Guidelines. I go with 1.2-1.6g/kg. The older a person is, the more protein the body needs because it can't process it with the same efficiency as a young person. Creatine is relatively cheap, in the market for decades and has a very good safety profile if you stick to the recommended dosis. A muscle consists of living cells. So instead of going directly for supplements etc. its recommended to trigger the growth process through a very demanding workout and then give the cells the perfect environment for growth: healthy food, lots of water, rest, sleep, low amount of stress, etc. There are supplements, but personally a healthy protein rich diet and lifestyle had the strongest impact for me. I only use Protein Powder on days where I have low Protein intake through diet.

Isn’t 1 meal a day good for longevity?

@usrIO30581l 10 ай бұрын

OMAD is known for quick weight loss / detox not sustainable to do everyday. One factor eating one large meal doesn’t breakdown completely as it turn into toilet instead of your bloodstream. You can only absorb certain amount in one meal or your body will go height shock and crash turn it to fat storage or poop. It can promote longevity but not sustainable and can compromise muscle growth. It’s better to do 2MAD or 3 meals split of your eating window especially fasting diet. It’s better to spread your meal feeds in your feeding windows to absorb and metabolize the food at right amount. Try IF and two large meals at 12 pm and 6pm. For muscle growth 12 pm, 3pm and 7 pm meals. Meaning size is your plate 🍽️ = meal. Half (50%) of the plate should be protein if not taking supplements. Rest is greens 🥬 and carbs.

I'm doing calisthenics for about 2 years. Also 39 years old at the moment. 90kg bodyweight. I'm definitely more jacked than I was, but not even close to Daniel or Gab who have spent half of their lifetime doing this. While I agree that calisthenics builds muscle, I think it would only work efficiently up to a certain point. Once your noob gains are behind it becomes very hard to progress and it would be more efficient to isolate - use dumbbells or go to the gym and use lower weights that would allow your muscles to be loaded with appropriate volume in stretched positions. Stimulus to fatigue ratios of a given exercise needs to be considered - ie it is much easier to add an extra set of lat pull downs to stimulate your lats growth rather than adding extra set of pull ups with extra weight (I got injured this way and spent 3 months recovering). You can keep adding weight in your pull ups, but it is probably smarter in the long run to work with lower weights for higher reps to reduce risks of injury. Being realistic and adding other factors like your height, your age and bodyweight into the picture and thinking carefully about your goals and what you imagine your ideal physique in the long run is important. Neither Daniel nor Gab look nearly as jacked as bodybuilders and they spent a long time. I keep doing calisthenics and I love the outcome so far, but also using dumbbells to isolate muscles I need extra safe volume on.

I mean let’s not kid ourselves. This guy is low body fat since he is born. There are people born like that and I know myself a few guys like that. They don’t have to train or eat right and they can stay lean for the whole year sporting 8-12 pack abs. Genetic lottery. For most people this is not feasible even on juice. However what he told absolutely holds true. If your training and sleeping is correct, you will build a ton of muscle and still look much more impressive than before.

1st step for a great physique: genetic lottery / roids All the other steps for the rest of us just to have a 6pack and above average strength: consistency, knowledge about programing / periodization, recovery The key is to not give up when you see others with 0 effort looking better than you or being stronger just because they were born that way. Strive for a better you.
