This interview inspired me so much! Now it makes much more sense how he got "fast results". Because he didn't get any fast results at all :D. He did gymnastics for 2 years which explains his famous dismount from P-bars as his first video from IG. And it also explains his perfect I-sit. Now I feel I can achieve same skills by having fun with calisthenics almost every day :).
