Is calisthenics harder than the one-handed pushup?

[@scotty2.064]

I'm thinking of getting rings but I'm not sure what type to get, want type of rings would you recommend?

[@dregorerampin7439]

@@scotty2.064 The one that will fit your finger. Ah, of course, try not Sauron's ring. You do not have the strength.

[@hellfrozen9971]

For me it's all about patience,which you don't need for weights,you can train with the same weights or a little bit less when you are not feeling good,but when you have to hold a planche and you're not feeling good,you can be twice weaker,like going from 120kg bench press to 80kg in a bad workout..

[@egeabali]

also it is annoying how body weight fluctiations during the day can affect the workout, making it really hard to see if u are progressively overloading.

[@FitnessFAQs]

The measurability of calisthenics can be cumbersome. The reward of mastering your body is worth it.

[@shadowassasin523]

Lifting weights is easy, maintaing a form is harder

[@miroslavzicha99]

It's easier to progress due to simply adding weight + ridiculously easier for consistent overloading in isolation exercises but you should not dismiss it as easy in general - absolute strength of weightlifters will humble you... especially if you are an aesthetic lightweight guy.

​​@@miroslavzicha99Ive experienced this many times some are hella strong i just cant believe what im seeing and also when lightweight aesthetic ones float around they be thinking the same thing. And vice versa

[@THEPRESTIGEWORLDWIDE]

I call “lifting weights” without proper form “moving weight around”.

[@NeoArmstrongJetArmstrongCannon]

For me it's all in the open-chain vs close-chain movement. The bench press and the push-up are essentially the same exercise, but moving your body through space, I find, is much more taxing on the nervous system and I feel way more tired after push-ups than bench.

Excellent video. The overwhelming amount of advice I follow on bodyweight training comes from these two men.

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

2 of my fav athletes right here! Thanks for the tips guys. Adam, your joint prep is the best! I developed golfers elbow/medial epicondylitis after trying weighted chin ups with not enough warm up and not enough REST. I gave up on weights for a while and now use bands to do high chin ups to develop better strength across the full ROM, and will eventually incorporate weights when my body gives the OK.

[@VivRocks_Yoga]

Absolutely amazing bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@Panagiotis1709]

Because it is harder to make things easier for a noob. You can set the lat pulldown machine to very low weight but a pullup is hard to do from day one, even with bands. It is also extremely difficult for fat people as you are essentially starting with weighted calisthenics. One the plus side, you get strong AF. I worked my way up to 12 dips as a snorlax(133kg) and the chest and tricep gains were insane.

[@FitnessFAQs]

The learning curve is definitely higher for calisthenics vs gym. With that said, once you understand the basic principles (bands, eccentrics, progressions) it's not too bad.

[@nonhan1801]

im a skinny guy trying to get into calisthenics and i want to eat a surplus while training for this reason lol. I know if i can some weight steadily(not to a ridiculous degree), my strength will go up as long as I keep training.

[@miroslavzicha99]

Big dudes with good relative strength are strong AF... agreed on that. Alex Leonidas recently talked about meaning of absolute loads for hypertrophy - basicly - 130kg guy doing bodyweight dips equals 50kg weighted for 80kg guy - both are said to experience equal gains. IMO not many people realize that 😅

[@miroslavzicha99]

​@@nonhan1801For muscle building - the training is most important then there's diet. But you might want to learn a thing or two about it by yourself... in short hit your macros and some degree of caloric surplus without eating fastfood every other day. "Natural Hypertrophy" covered the topic of bulking and how to avoid stupid mistakes in his video... I think it was called "My nightmare bulk". Hope this helped a little... any feedback appretiated.

[@calvinunroe2462]

I really love your handstand videos

[@kickinghorse2405]

Yes! This is the pair up I've been hoping for. Cool! 😎

[@CaHgO]

Best calisthenics duo!

[@daynemin]

I find calisthenics much more nervous system heavy. Heavy squats can be taxing. But the coordination, balance and strength is very mental.

[@bluespiral4678]

I kind of gave up on the planche, and the back lever is definitely a no-go for me. Shattered my elbow years ago in my late teens and left with limited mobility in my right arm. The stronger my core gets and scapula, the more I start to wonder.

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

Follow the progressions and listen to your body signals. Pain? back off for a while and heal.

[@bluespiral4678]

@@DevinsCalisthenics indeed. In the meantime, gonna keep upping the core, scapula, and shoulder strength. The planche is anatomically and physically out of my range, but handstand push-ups are an achievable goal.

[@critkid]

Both of you are great! Your Vids helped me a lot, i achieved so much in a small time (in about 8months - slow muscle up, bent arm planche, straight arm straddle planche) and im 35! I was doin breakdance when i was 11 but i guess muscle/joint memory can last even that long.

[@Timmy_yuskaitis]

I think people really underestimate the difference of form and maintenance: Pseudo Planche pushups require a strict attention to detail and centimeters make the greatest difference yet, the weight is the same. Or hop on the smith machine in the same position and rack plates for the strength aspect, lacking the balance factor. Weights are easier and many people naturally follow the path of least resistance. Both provide their health benefits reguardless

[@JoseRivera-rl3qv]

True but in my case I'm not willing to pay for a gym and now I have found basics around the basics exercises to increase the utility long term for strength and hypertrophy, so I'm now pushing my limits with pull ups and dips and then once I get reps I'm doing them weighted to progressive overload them to get everything else easy (skills)

[@matiasacevedo8163]

The best one 🏆💪🏽🇨🇱

[@a-terrible-fate532]

I dont care about the calisthenic skills and don't do them or work toward them, i just use mainly calisthenics for its simplicity and compound movements, and for its minimal equipment. requirement and also so i can get a total body workout in , in 40 minutes 3 times a week.

Hybride style of traning is best weights lifting and bodyweight=beast!!!!

[@el_chico1313]

they also gotta talk about the strength requirements for planche or front lever, which are around 80-90% bw strength

[@ApeironTO]

can you make a video about forearms in planche? i keep getting sharp pain in my forearms both shortly lasting and long term ones

[@deltalima6703]

6:10 thats not just "a gymnast", that guy is one of the best to ever do rings. Rings are also *the* hardest apparatus!

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

I was able to do front lever and back lever without training specifically for it because I already had years of strength training with weights and I always trained my whole body. Core and all for specifically strength only. I could do HSPU’s but the balance part took awhile

[@sauceboss7777]

Very interesting video. I enjoyed it very much

[@adityakumar8442]

Brother you people have immense knowledge and experience of training muscle and shaping body parts...can you please make a video regarding Flatt foot or knock knee... correctiom

[@ליאבבקלה-ע8ש]

Hello Daniel, I would be happy if you would make a video about your Max Benz, it is interesting how calisthenics is involved with weights?

[@goodyeoman4534]

3:07 Not seen that one before. I take it it targets the obliques and maybe some hip muscles?The reps looked a bit fast, though. Anyone have more context?

[@imjustagirlnotathreat2289]

Yeah it's basically a core exercise for the obliques.

[@fitnytech]

Good is not enough if better is possible.

[@jokcho5]

Depends how you define harder. Calisthenics requires more joint conditioning, coordination etc but so does lifting weights with a perfect form to some extent. If we are looking just from raw power output i dont really see the difference. gravity vs body weight or gravity vs weights is the same from a muscle perspective. For me the main difficulty is body weight to strength ratio. when weightlifting you dont have to be as concerned with your total body weight.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

🤝

[@psychedeliceuphoria]

Daniel, can you get strength for planche only through *bodyweight* exercises or will shoulder press increase planche strength? Some say weights do not transfer to calisthenics etc.

[@psychedwellness77]

I have brachialis discomfort on one side, and now tennis elbow type symptoms on the other. I've lifted weights a long time with very little issue. Calisthenics is way more difficult

[@unchivalry]

How important are these skill based iso holds for physique? Is it even worth it for the average joe with no youtube/ig channel? Ive been on calisthenics basics(pushup/pullup variations, dips, etc) for about a year.

[@riadthizri6222]

I have a question I’d like to combine some weight lifting exercises whit my callisthenics (and gymnast exercises) routine but how much or what is the ideal weight to match whit my callisthenics (and gymnast) performance Thanks for the answer

[@fouadbedaiwi8118]

Hello Danial Thank you for your valuable videos. Is there a mobile application for you to learn calisthenics.

[@Artkid-z4o]

If i m having Both arm shoulder dislocations should i perform calisthenics and skills like planche ,handstand???

[@AyushSharma-zg5ey]

If your foundation is strong and it doesn't effect you in any way then with rehab and good warm up you can train everything

[@whyimustusemyrealname3801]

how to avoid injury then?

[@mariopl777]

Good warm up but injury always can be

[@h3xagon0001]

Warmup, dont rush progressions, if you feel off take a day off

[@noudialp]

Been doing calisthenics for over 1,5 years and never warmed up. I believe it's really difficult to injure yourself since your whole body is in action and stronger muscles compensate for the weak links naturally (Not an expert, but this is what I think).

[@bezztime]

True

[@denvernaicker8250]

[@ricardodiaz6187]

Because you’re moving your entire body through time and space, which requires a certain degree of mastery.

[@gankt]

If lifting weights is easy then you need to lift more weight. Calisthenics isn't hard. You don't even train your legs. Leg day is hard.

[@chaosdragon6588]

Advance calisthenics skills is harder such as planche, Maltese, straight arm muscle up on rings, handstand push ups, etc than lifting weights. Barbell back squat is a form of weighted calisthenics, pistol squat, dragon squat is for leg day for calisthenics Heck! Even with weighted calisthenics is harder such as +120 kg pull up than a full stack lat pulldowns, +200 kg dips than a 200kg bench press, + 60kg bar muscle up than 200 kg clean and jerk.

[@chaosdragon6588]

I can deadlift 200kg for 5 reps but can't pull up with added 120 kg, my max bench press is 205 kg, but can't even get a rep with parallel bars dip with an added 200 kg, now you see the point.

[@chaosdragon6588]

And yeah even with those big numbers with deadlift and bench, I can't even do the planche and Maltese and don't even start to mention on rings skills those kinds of what a rings gymnast do, I can only hold front lever for like a measly 5 seconds, and 3 muscle ups for 3 reps with bad form, a wall handstand push ups. So yeah think about it
