A guy told me once: "You are too big to do calesthenics. You should stick with powerlifting because that is what you were made to do." I will never forget those words and I will prove him wrong. I'm currently 34 years old, 6'0" (183cm), and 239lbs (108kg). As of now, I can hold a dragon flag. My goal is to do the iron cross. I know I can do it.

[@gauravrao9082]

I was introduced to basic calisthenics during the lockdown of 2020. My body responded very well to it. However I have never been able to do full pull-ups and in recent years, I've injured my elbow. I'd watched a video of Calimoves's in which Alex stated that Sven had injured his elbow and then took a break to do mobility exercises for a few months, to fully recover. The memory of that video made me purchase your Mobility program on 3/5/2024. But ever since then we've found out that my mother needs a heart bypass surgery and for that things have been pretty wild, at home. Now, things have been figured out and she gets operated on the 4th of June. With that comfortable thought in mind, I will be beginning your mobility program from tomorrow. I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND GRADUATING FROM IT, TO YOUR CALISTHENICS PROGRAM!! Thank you for putting out your videos, they help more than you can imagine:)

[@viktorgubecka577]

Good luck to your mom. I hope she is well.

[@gauravrao9082]

@@viktorgubecka577 ----- thank you, Viktor. The surgery is coming up soon. Mom is doing well. I'm in the process of getting everything ready. Blood donors and all, etc.

[@uznaz1783]

If you don't want to injure elbows you need to do proper warmup before training and it will be so good to do streching after training too. Talking specifically about pull-ups - you have to think more about technic. I also injured my elbow, and only after half a year i understood that my technic was wrong. I focused too much on my arms, when i needed to focus on the back. Basically you need to pull your body with your back, not arms. You can push your scapula to the back, like trying to attach them together(dont push it too far) and try to think of pull up like pushing bar to the floor, not like pulling you up.

[@gauravrao9082]

@@uznaz1783 ---- Hello there! Thank you for that piece of information. It really helps. I'll keep that in mind for sure.

[@uznaz1783]

@@gauravrao9082 no problem bro 🫡. Btw, you need to go out to get at least 30 min of sun on your skin daily. Of course you need other vitamins too, so you can do some research to find products which contain them and find out lack of which vitamins you can have. Nutrition plays a huge role in joint health(and health overall ofc).

Level 4. Calisthenics became my true passion, and even my son ,that has 7 years, is loving to do it. He can already hold like 10s in full elbow lever and elbow lever. It would be perfect to achieve and learn some tricks about the moves that I'm trying now, like planche and front lever. The back lever is already a move that feels easy. Ty guys!

[@traiteursmarseillais9426]

First time seeing this concept of pyramid to understand where you are in the journey! Thanks for that. There are many guys around with fairly good level, making videos for “beginners “ but actually are showing stuff way too advanced and difficult for average guys, hence discouragement and quitting…. I’ll wait a bit before human flagging… let’s go back to basics with some clean push ups 🙂

[@aranahjohnson9640]

Level 1 (beginner): - basic support holds (front, side, back, vertical, overhead - passive / active hang - BW squats, lunges - incline push ups - incline body rows Level 1.5: - assisted pull ups - assisted dips - hanging / supporting knee raises Level 1.9: - regular push ups - first pull ups - first dips - elevated pike stand - clean squat jumps / jumping lunges Level 2 (intermediate): - more of each level 1 move - archer squats - elevated / assisted pistols - wall handstand holds - pike push ups - leg raises Level 3 (advanced): - even more pull ups, push ups, dips, etc. - starting skill training (straight arms especially) - skin the cat - first progressions of the planche - L-sit - free handstand training - first muscle ups - wall handstand push ups - bent arm handstand - typewriter pull ups - archer rows - archer push ups - full pistol squats Level 4 (expert): serious progress on: - planche - front lever - free handstand push ups - 90° push ups - press to handstand - V-sit Level 2.5: - solid amount of muscle ups - human flag - back lever - sizzy - dragon squat - archer pull ups - 1 arm push ups Levels 5 and 6: (timestamp: 5:18 in the video)

My goal 🥅 is to get better at these vertical/horizontal push movements; awell as my mobility. And then begin pull movements such as improving my muscles ups, front lever and so on💪💪. Being accepted to this program would definitely help skyrocket my progress. I WOULD LOVE BODY TRANFORMATION🙂.

I really want to make change in my body. I am 18 years old skinny guy. I can do maximum 25 push-ups, 15 dips and 5 pull-ups in a row. I want to increase my strength and my arm size. But I am struggling with motivation because whatever exercise I try to do I can't pump my triceps. I exhaust my arms, but my triceps are like that I haven't done any exercises even after 60-70 push ups and 30 chair dips when I do workout at home. I will be very happy if someone can give me advice!

[@brThefox]

Cheers to all of us striving to improve our life/fitness journeys! As a beginner in calisthenics I’m amazed by how much I’ve learned so far. Each video inspires me to push my limits and embrace new challenges. I was truly inspired by today’s video on the progression pyramid and how exercises grow in complexity. Understanding the structured approach to calisthenics through your model has clarified so much for me. It’s fascinating to see how I can gradually advance from simpler exercises to more complex ones as I build my strength and skills. Winning a course from you would be incredibly beneficial in helping me navigate through these levels with precision and confidence. Thanks for the chance to transform my approach to fitness with such a great training strategy!

I guess I am in the middle of level 3… I made a small break to complete a Handstand program from a well-known hand balancer, because I felt I couldn’t make enough progress by myself within 15 min on every session in lvl3.. When I finish it, I intend to continue with Complete Calisthenics. But eventually I think skills are good, but health and nice-looking body is more important for me, so maybe later I will just switch to variations of basic exercises to keep muscles active.
