That was surprisingly interesting! I choose a simplistic view: similar to powerlifting or olympic weight lifting, the definition of weighted calisthenics (or streetlifting) is simply the combination of 1RM in the dip and pullup. A strict definition is only needed for competitions, so I think the only open question is whether or not to include back squat. In my opinion it should be included to make the discipline more well-rounded and make competitions more interesting to watch.

I would define calisthenics as the control and strenght to move your body in space (doesn't matter if weighted or not) and weightlifting as its name says is moving weights trough space.

I have two different answers to your conundrum that when you categorise like this, most people will agree on most exercises how they are classified, when classified by either of these rules. 1. The difference between weighted calisthenics and weight training is a sliding scale and depends on whether the bonus weight or the bodyweight represents the majority of the resistance. For example squats would be weighted calisthenics as long as bonus weight is less than bodyweight, but someone squatting more than bodyweight is doing weight training. Meanwhile the curl would be weight training as soon as the dumbbell is significantly heavier than your forearm+hand. A deadlift is usually performed with a lot of weight, so it is almost always classified as weight training under this rule. 2. Weighted calisthenics is any exercise in which one or more limbs are pulling or pushing on a stationary grip/object to lift the torso, and bonus weight is somehow attached to the torso. Weight training is when the limbs are pulling or pushing a weight in order to lift it. This definition always classifies squat as weighted calisthenics since the weight is moving because the torso is moving, and the weight is supported by the torso rather than the limbs. The deadlift would be classified as weight training since the hands are holding the weight. Under this rule, leg raises would not count as weighted calisthenics, but becomes weight training as soon as ankle weights are added.

I think definition 1 is far better than definition 2. Let's take the pelican curl eccentrics with a weight vest on as an example - this should be classified as weighted calisthenics but neither the grip nor the object (rings/body) are entirely stationary throughout the RoM. This also completely bypasses the "in order to lift" part of the definition as you are really only descending the entire time. But it completely meets the criteria for weighted calisthenics in definition 1 as long as the weighted vest is not heavier than your bodyweight.
@GodisgudAQW3 жыл бұрын
I think one "improvement" I can make to definition 1 is by defining exercises as weighted calisthenics by appealing to how much weight is typically expected to be loaded for most people. That way, a weighted pull-up will always be considered a weighted calisthenics movement even if you load it with more additional weight than bodyweight. Since the vast majority of people will progress well within the confines of the 50% threshold in the majority of cases, it can be categorized as a weighted calisthenics movement regardless of the freaks out there who load it up out the wazoo.

@@GodisgudAQW The rings aren't stationary in all directions, but they are attached to a stationary object, which is what you're effectively pulling on. Even by definition 2, I would classify pelican curls as (weighted) calisthenics. In contrast if example you'd attach the rings to a pulley system to lift a stack of weights, it would be weight training. Whether the movement is eccentric or normal reps doesn't matter for this definition, as long as the movement is reversible i.e. the negative looks the same as the positive played backwards, I consider it the same exercise.

I think what distinguishes calisthenics from lifting is in how you progress. With calisthenics, your aim is to get to a harder progression. With lifting, your aim is simply to increase the weight. If you use weights in an exercise with the ultimate aim being to do that same exercise but at greater loads in the future, that's just lifting. But if you use weights as a vehicle to progress to more advanced movements, that's calisthenics. Just my two cents.
@davepazz5803 жыл бұрын
That's exactly right... it's all about what kind of resistance are you using to train your muscles? One form (weight training) is about strengthening your muscles by pushing or pulling against greater and greater external loads over time. And calisthenics is about strengthening your muscles by manipulating gravity to greater and greater degrees over time against the body to move against.

A more appropriate term to use would be "closed-chain kinetic exercises"... since both closed-chain and open-chain exercises aren't defined by whether the moving of weights are involved or not, as calisthenics and weight training clearly are.

Your videos are absolutely amazing! It appears that you stopped producing them about three years ago, but I also noticed that you responded to a comment posted within the past year. So I will assume (and hope!) that you are still interested and engaged. That said, I'll add a few remarks regarding how we might go about defining "calisthenics" as the term is now used. First of all, calisthenics seems to involve either strength, movement, balance, or some combination of the three. Let's just focus on "strength calisthenics" and thus exclude things like freestyle calisthenics and (unfortunately) handstands. A reasonable starting point might be to make a relatively complete list of the activities we consider to be (strength) calisthenics. This would include both isometric moves (levers, planches, iron crosses, flags, and L-sits) as well as dynamic moves. And the dynamic moves can be separated into lower body moves (squats) and upper body moves. And finally, the upper body moves are either pull moves (chin-ups and pull-ups), push moves (push-ups, dips, and handstand push-ups against a wall), or combinations of the two (muscle-ups on the bar or rings). I've certainly missed some, but let's take this as a starting point. Now we want to "characterize" these activities by finding properties that all these activities have in common (something that is relatively easy to do), while ensuring that the list of properties is extensive enough to rule out all other activities (something almost impossible to do). But let's just look at the following two properties, and see if that's a start: 1. There is minimal movement within a confined area. 2. Resistance is increased as external weight is added to the body's center of mass. We phrase (2) as we did since chin-ups are not made more difficult by using wrist weights and squats are no harder with ankle weights. So what are we ruling out? Well, (1) rules out running, swimming, shot putting, standing high jumps, standing long jumps, and gymnastics (for example) while (2) rules out weight lifting activities like the deadlift or the bench press (but not the squat). So what is not ruled out and what other properties are needed? Hmmm ...

I remember reading this somewhere, that the reason external weight is not recommended/used is because somewhat the point where that weight attaches causes many tendons, small muscles and nervous system, to accommodate to that weight in that point, meaning, the ideal external weight would be a full weighted skin. Now you can see the whys, for example, if you don't have this magic skin, the "recommend" anchor points and exercices are reduced more and more. The other line of thought is, if from those exercices where anchoring weight is considerer OK (its never going to be perfect), then, how do you balance with the muscles, tendons and nerves that don't get that stimulus? are the weights for them too? and then, if they suffer from the same anchor deficiency, where things overlap and where do not? So in the end, thats why weights should be carefully considered, specially the when.

Great video 👍, you made great point all of which I agree with it is likely impossible to find a perfect definition like you said... we may have to settle for a imperfect definition of possibly one similar or like this. any body weight movement that has reps bellow an infinite amount that is strength, hypertrophy or endurance based is calisthenics and any exercise with limited reps without weight with it added becomes weighted calisthenics any exercise with unlimited amounts of reps is not calisthenics and adding weight to those movements is lifting.(I know the definition is not perfect but for now good enough to get the job done for now) I know this definition is not perfecting would then consider the deadlift weighted calisthenics and does not take in things like you said possibly people going through re abilitation will be considering the un weighted bicep curl a calisthenics exercise however theoretically speaking every normal person who has never lifted a weight in their life’s or done a single pushup should be able to perform unlimited un weighted bicep curls so there are flaws in this definition but it does somewhat make sense... if you think about it as lifting weight for strength is pretty much just that as without it you can do an infinite amount of reps and with weighted calisthenics without weight you can still only do an amount of reps before you fail the exercise. Nether the less great video as always keep up the great work probably the best science based calisthenics channel.

You have overlooked that in weighted calisthenics the main resistance comes from bodyweight and the weight added is usually a relatively small addition while in weight training the most resistance comes from the external weights. You can easily deadlift or squat two times your bodyweight after some training, but you will very rarely see someone doing weighted pull ups or dips with more than their bodyweight. Of course there are some exceptions but it seems like a good rule of thumb.

Hey, thank you for the comment. Yeah I think its the best reasoning out of all - the only problem like you mentioned is that its relative and not really objective. Someone can do dips with 70KG, the other person might be at the same weight with squatting ;) But yeah - in general i agree - thats exactly what differs weight training and weighted calisthenics in my book - but cant really standardize it because while it does apply to a big chunk of population - very hard to establish it

In my opinion, weighted calisthenics include weighted exercises that are challenging to the majority of the population unweighted. So weighted pull ups, weighted dips, weighted push ups, weighted squats (this one is kinda questionable, bodyweight squats are easy for many people, but hard for others), weighted crunches, weighted leg raises, weighted nordic curls, etc. are weighted calisthenics exercises, but biceps curls, overhead presses, bench presses, deadlifting aren't.

They way I see it is: You can't draw an exact line. No matter if you're doing weight lifting or weighted calisthenics, there are probably going to be some overlaps in certain areas. I moved from weight lifting to weighted calisthenics and neither the exercises or the results have been the same so it's obviously not the same thing. This video made me question a lot because it seems like it's very unclear exactly where the line goes, yet somehow, everyone I've talked to about weighted calisthenics seems to have a pretty similar picture of what it is. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter as long as you're getting a good workout. Everyone has to find the best way to workout for themselves. I think that's the best way to get results.

If you're moving an external load of some kind (be it a barbell, dumbbell, weight plate, weighted vest, ankle weights, etc.) and that load is not only your main resistance, but your focus of performance and progression, *that* is weight training... It doesn't matter if that external weight is being curled by your arms or hung from your waist as your body moves through space... it *still* counts as weight training. "Calisthenics" is strength training by means of manipulating gravity in some form *only* as a means to increase resistance...

I think that the defintion of calisthenics would instead be the athletic ability to manipulate your own body in space in order to master your own proportion and weight. Calisthenics is both an aesthetic goal and a gymnastic goal. I see it more as the endeavor to achieve complete body dominance that is easily convertible into real world athleticism. Weights are obviously useful but often too specific. To be honest I would treat them differently and use BOTH to increase athleticism.

Ah bro this is my game! I love weighted calisthenics. I am not entirely in agreement with you in this video (I believe weighted calisthenics is still calisthenics 😉). In most cases the person does weighted versions of a calisthenics exercise because they are seeking more strength than their bodyweight currently allows. Adding weights to make something harder for the purpose of strength, doesn't change the exercise into something that no longer falls within the realm of calisthenics. When it comes to streetlifting for example, then perhaps it is worth arguing that it no longer falls within the realms of exclusive calisthenics moves. Now the exercise is more of a means to an end, the end being lifting the most weight (and winning the competition). That sounds A LOT more like weightlifting. But as always, great video sir! 🙏🏻 Keep making these! 😁 I hope to add my own strength videos soon, watch this space for some useful info 😎👍🏻

Calisthenics specificity is using your own body weight as resistance. And what you call here "too light weight" when you are doing a biceps curl without any dumbell, is using air as resistance. So it's not comparable. Air has no weight, but your body has. So when you're doing weighted calisthenics, you always add weight to the base, which is your bodyweight.
@siryusmusic Жыл бұрын
The easiest way to put Calisthenics is that you move (or hold) your entire body - centre of mass - against gravity in a horizontal or vertical plane, not only flex your forearm. Thats a forearm flexion not Calisthenics. So only compound exercises would count. Thats my approach to it.

How about the following: calisthenics includes exercises that include the moving of the body through space (think of push-ups as an example) instead of weight training which is moving objects through space with the most part of the body remaining in the same position (think of bench press in contrast to the previously mentioned push ups). That should solve the paradoxon which, in my opinion, only originates from the lack of a proper definition which i ment to procide. What do you all think of this definition?

Many people confuse "closed-chain" kinetic chain exercises with calisthenics but they are not necessarily the same thing... All calisthenics movements are closed-chain, but not all closed-chain exercises are calisthenics. For example, a pull-up is a calisthenics movement and a closed-chain exercise... if you add weight to the pull-up to increase the difficulty, it remains a closed-chain exercise but you are no longer *doing* calisthenics, now it's weight training. To do actual calisthenics, difficulty would have been increased by non-weighted means... such as performing more reps, performing much slower and more controlled reps, by emphasizing one pulling side over the other (single limb), by using rings instead of a bar, by doing static reps, etc.
@r.m.41922 жыл бұрын
I think that the calisthenics definition should consider the control of our body, not only to develop strenght. Weighted calisthenics modifies your mass center and that changes your balance. I think this is the reason why weighted pullups, for example, don't let you improve one arm pullup directly

I don't quite agree with the reasoning behind why a curl may be called weighted calisthenics. I would define calisthenics as "exercises which move one's body through space" as opposed to traditional lifting, which would be "moving an external object through space". Simply moving a bodypart would not suffice; the centre of the body must move. That being said, I whole-heartedly agree with the fact that the line between calisthenics and lifting is a blurry one. I have always argued that the back squat, for example, is by all definitions a weighted calisthenics exercise, and I have played with the idea of calling deadlifts calisthenics. Great video!
@davepazz5803 жыл бұрын
A barbell squat is technically a calisthenics *movement* but since the weight load on your back is the intended resistance and the main focus of performance and progress over time, it is always properly classified as a weight training exercise... I think a much better way to classify exercises is not "weight training vs. calisthenics" but "open-chain" kinetic exercises vs. "closed-chain" kinetic exercises... because this way, weight being used or not doesn't change the proper classification of the exercise.

Well, from a physics standpoint, weighted calisthenics is completely different then weight lifting. Calisthenics is the mass of your body and your center of mass competing against gravity; if you add weight to your body, you’re increasing your mass and increasing your difficulty to overcome the force gravity (working your biochemistry and muscular system completely different when dealing with your center of mass). Weighted training is your ability to overcome a center of mass that is outside of your own. You don’t need to fight gravity to “weight train”, you just need to overcome the other mass regardless of gravity being a factor or not which works your muscular system and biochemistry/physics completely different. The stronger you get in your own center of mass being able to overcome the force of gravity (which is what true scientific “weight” is), the more your muscles are trained in abilities that bring you closer to “weightlessness” (hence why calisthenics athletes look like literal super-humans), you don’t have to get big to be EXTREMELY strong because the goal isn’t to overcome a separate mass. Weights, on the other hand, your strength is defined by simply being able to overcome another mass and that’s it. this is why weight training, you can be 300 lbs of fat or 300lbs of raw muscle, as long as your body is able to achieve force greater than the mass of whatever object you’re moving, you’re considered strong. On a calisthenics physique, every piece of tissue has a functioning purpose to overcome gravity. When they’ve trained to overcome a heavier center of gravity, then without the added body mass, their muscles literally are stronger than their actual weight, why they’re fast as fuck, strong as shit and have “endurance”(because they literally feel nothing to endure) plus all the training go range of motion and flexibility. With weight literally, just be bigger than the other weight or achieve more force than the other mass can achieve back. You won’t achieve speed, flexibility or any of that crazy Kung fu shit, but you will be increasing your ability to act on a separate mass and overcome it quicker, not being overcome by any mass smaller than you or that simply can’t achieve the force to overcome you, your ability to endure interactions with a separate mass for longer periods of time etc. If you value strength and ability to overcome your own body and gravity, then calisthenics or weighted calisthenics is for you INCREASING CENTER OF MASS NOT USING A DUMBBELL WHICH IS A SEPARATE BODY OF MASS. Pretending that you’re moving a separate body of mass is not calisthenics, such as an “air bench press” or pretending to lift a weight that doesn’t exist. Moving your arms is not the same as moving the weight of your body or your CENTER OF MASS. The weight of your ENTIRE body has to be acting on whatever muscles you’re working. If you just value the strength in moving other bodies of mass, then weights is for you which is dumbbells. Benchpress etc moving SEPARATE bodies of mass.

Calisthenics can be performed without weights if desired. Adding weight to make it challenging is not turning it into something else. When you include barbells or dumbbells it is something else. There is a big difference between making yourself heavier artificially with a weight vest, and lifting weights. I am a former powerlifter who is now working on calisthenics. Yes, we say "squat", but what we're really talking about is "barbell back squat in low bar or high bar position." Trust me, there is a big difference.

@@davepazz580 No. Moving an external weight vs adding weight to your body and moving are very different from a kinesiological standpoint, not even mentioning the differences in nerologic recruitment. A lat pulldown is very different from a weighted pull up. One is open chain kinetic, and the other is closed chain kinetic. Even in instances where you can compare closed chain kinetic versions of each, they are very different. Squats are in fact extremely different from weighted pistol squats using a weighted vest. Now...both work muscles, but they work their muscle groups very differently. You need to pick the method that yields the correct result for your given goal. There are absolutely zero world class powerlifters who attribute their records to muscle ups. There are zero gymnasts who got all of their skills from deadlifting. Mr. Olympia is not using weighted calisthenics exclusively. All of these training methods are in fact very different, and that is just a very brief look at strength sports.

I am saying that any time you move a weight through the air in any shape form or matter (where that external load is your main resistance and measure of progression) that is weight training (not saying they all have the exact same training effect). It doesn't make any difference if that weight is being pushed by only your arms while lying on a bench or if that weight load is on your back while doing push-ups... they are both weight training. Of course, the overall training effects are not the same between these 2 instances (one is open-chain and the other is closed-chain), but that's besides the point... calisthenics has it's own form of progression which explores a different type of resistance than weight training's protocols. I wish more people would actually use the terms "open chain vs. closed chain" exercises... that's actually a much better way of describing exercises than "calisthenics vs. weight training" or "weighted calisthenics" (which is an oxymoron).

Calisthenics is a kind of training that requires and develops strength (sthenos) and that begets beauty (kalos), either in the body of the practitioner due to muscle growth, or because the movement or position is itself beautiful, like a planche press to handstand. Furthermore, the movements and forms done must have this effect even if external weight is not added. Curling the air and walking are not calisthenics because they do not build beautiful strength; they only restore health in injured individuals. Although the individuals become stronger and more beautiful this way, and have thus come closer to being strong and beautiful, no one would say that the ability to curl the air effortlessly makes someone strong, because of the standards we have for our species. The average human can already do it. Therefore, the person did not become strong or beautiful, and therefore it was not calisthenics. The person became healthy. Weighted calisthenics is just adding weight to a movement that itself qualifies as calisthenics, meaning that it begets strength and beauty when done unweighted, in healthy and average humans.

Technically speaking, the word "calisthenics" originates from the greek terms kallos (beauty), and sthenos (strength). So, in my opinion, all the exercises that encompass calisthenics serve the purpose of strengthening, and understanding one's body in order to manipulate it in beautiful ways. Weight Training serves a different purpose (which is to simply gain strength), but Weighted Calisthenics are still incorporating the same forms and techniques to influence the aforementioned purpose.

Because it isn't... and no exercise journal will call it such. What you really mean to say is that a barbell squat is a closed-chain kinetic exercise... which means the limbs of the body remain "fixed" while the body moves during the exercise. As opposed to an open-chain kinetic exercise, where the body remains fixed and the limbs move... The difference is the above classifications describe movement only, *not* which form of resistance is being primarily used. But "calisthenics" implies the *only* form of resistance (both primary and measurement of future progress) is gravity manipulation... whereas weight training means that external weight load is your primary form of resistance and your measurement of future progress. With weighted pull-ups (as with barbell squats), your mind is focused on seeing "progress" as how many plates am I moving now and, in the future, *that* is weight training.

Calisthenics are exercises that challenge your muscles by moving your body through space. The exercises are also challenging enough where your body weight is sufficient so no. Barbell Squats, deadlifts etc do not count as calisthenics as as they require a ton of external weight to make any meaningful progress in terms of strength or hypertrophy.
