How To ACTUALLY Start Calisthenics (Advice You’ve Never Heard)

[@lorec.1568]

Pure gold. Unfortunately it is full of fitness influencers and self-styled trainers who sell embarrassing programs where all these steps are skipped. Unfortunately following one of these programs I injured myself. I've been stuck for almost a year now. If only I had followed your training method right away

[@Businessaccount312]

You are 100% correct. Joint mobility and warm ups are the most important thing, I started working out at 15 and I use to hear the 40-50 year old bodybuilders tell me to work on joint mobility, rotator cuff, and warm ups but I would think " these old people are stupid they dont know anything ". Now im 28 and have had so many joint problems, muscle tears and injuries that im the same muscle mass as i was when im 16 even though ive been working out for so many years. I keep getting injured and have to stop working out. Now i just started joint mobility and injury prevention exercises.

[@Not.a.bird.Person]

Great advice there, thanks a lot! I've started training with calisthenics about 4 months ago and I wish I had found this earlier. It took me like 2 months to even do 1 pull-up and a couple dips, I'm still struggling with wrist pain because I wasn't well prepared. Most people who've been working out a lot for a while don't have the slightest idea of how unprepared most people are when they decide to go back to training after years of inactivity.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

True! Thanks for your feedback!

[@ronhobbs8038]

I'm 55 and have always lifted weights, now I want to go the calisthenics route, but don't know where to start and how to incorporate wt tracing and be training together. I really like this channel, your knowledge, etc. And you remind me jake dalton.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you start calisthenics! Haha I never heard I look like Jake Dalton! Would be great to reach that level of physique!

[@danjsilve]

I have been following Calimove for 3 years, they do include some joint prep in their home workout program, but it wasn’t enough, the wrist joint prep was great, but as I later discovered, there was no elbow prep, which later became an issue as I developed elbow problems due to the high volume of rows. Since then I have included elbow joint prep movements and that has taken care of the issue. Great video, great advice. I can see in time where your channel will grow exponentially when people lay their ego aside and see the beauty of this simple truth you are sharing with us. Thank you Adam.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

I really began seriously lifting weights at 19... I am 51 now I've always wanted to try calisthenics in the way that you have explained them but now I am so ready to do this and your videos give me inspiration I just wanted to say thank you!

[@GymnasticsMethod]

[@shiba31]

Not gonna lie, your 5 minutes warm up routine helped me, now I don't feel pain in my elbow when I start doing muscle ups, also pull ups are feeling easier, thank you!

[@2029861]

Training whit brainz! My training is different now! I learned that i have to train smart! You are my gamechanger! So thank you Adam! Igor from Slovenia👍👍💪💪

[@thegloriousquran1208]

When i started Cali i immediately jumped into the pullup,push up etc routine my wrists were solid due to MMA training prior but my elbows were new to the game and i blew them out 2 moths later rested for 3 weeks then incorporated elbow warmups into my warmup never got a problem since, these Prehaps are very beneficial.

Joint preparation is key! I did calisthenics for years and then started to injure several joints, including both my wrists and both shoulders because even though my muscles were strong (I could to one arm push ups, muscle ups, plying pistols, etc) my joints were not at the same levels that my muscles were. Now I’ve been struggling with these injuries for years, specially shoulder joints

thanku sir you are really best teacher of gymnastic

[@Martin0815DE]

You are so right about the principles of training! On the other hand, as you mentioned … some folks are mothers or fathers or are working too much and have less time to practice all this really seriously or with enough time. And another factor of "success" you didn't mention, the length of duration accepted to get to a certain state of training/endurance/body awareness. I needed 1 1/2 years to train not always effectively, with a changing focus, to get where I am. And I still have too less body awareness, strength and endurance to several bodyweight exercises. Okay, I'm not focussing totally on calisthenics, but on different sportive disciplines and since all needs time and time is restricted by the job and the family, … you know. Another factor in chance and speed of development is the age. Did you already do a video for those being older than 30, 40, 50, since injury prevention, preparations, speed of change, acceptance for reachable aims could be topics? Even former injuries may prevent the aimed development … in my case a radius fracture (left) 6y ago.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

My oldest student was 60 years old when we started to train and he had several injuries, operations before. We built up his strength with the exercises i mentioned on the channel and with the structure on my website. With 3 x 1 hour sessions a week. Consistency is the key. He can do handstand, human flag, Muscle ups with band etc.

[@dancash12]

Great work, Adam! This channel will get its deserved base of subscribers eventually, considering the quality and the attention to critical points like prehab, mobilization and other things that you'll bring up in the future. By the way, quick question: Besides your website and program, can you maybe recommend one or maybe two books that go deep into this aspect of gymanstics/calisthenics? Book(s) that helped you gain insight into the importance of prehab and mobility and get deeper into the details of all this foundation you should properly build before actually doing proper calisthenics. Thanks.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Thank you for your comment, it made my day! I hope more people will discover the channel. I’m planning to write a book in english too which will cover EVERYTHING about gymnastics/calisthenics, writing down all my and my students’ experiences. The truth is that the most you can learn about gymnastics is from gymnasts and use biomechanics etc. I learned a lot of things just using logic and science what I learned in university + a lot of experiences!

[@dienosorpo]

When i was like 10 my parents told me i needed a hobbie, i was between robotics and gymnastics. Im sooo glad i chose gymnastics even tho i stopped going after 2 or 3 years. It gave me a huge advantage when i started weightlifting, i had zero injuries and excelent flexibility. Even after so many years of not doing any flex or strenght training I took back gymnastics after trying weights...

[@thegloriousquran1208]

I can relate my couch drilled us through wrist bulletproofing excercises like handstand with palms facing up, s***t was hard but got rock hard wrists even told mates to try and bend my wrists in fist position they never could haha

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! I've a 'request' thought; since long time i'm trainig in the gym ( i currently am 60 years old) and lately try to train more like a gymnast (well yes trying...) i've some issues to get beter at pull ups : training about 3x a week in the parc not getting my reps higher than 6/7 or maybe 8 doing 3 to 5 series i'de like to improve my max to 10 at least maybe till 14/15... i've tried a lot of things since a long time already i'm not improving and it's frustrating next would be to do high pull ups easily (?) and get my first muscle up - kipped or not - I've a lack of a training method, just doing pull ups and hoping they will improve, but they don't...something is wrong with my training... sometimes i hoped i'd had a personal trainer with good knowledge and experience... Is my question realistic or not? What do i have to do? Thanks for your answer

Why is there no joint prep of lower body (hips, knees and ankles) in the primal one program now?

[@vishaldhapola6265]

Bro ,my question is that ,after 6 weeks of prehab/joints preparation u told that our joints will be good to go..does that mean after that! We don't need to train for them specifically!! And can we train these joints further just after warmup. Please reply!🙂

This video doesn't provide that much information, but rather feels as a bait for purchasing your program. It's a pity because I'm sure you'd get more people interested in your product if you covered the basics in more detail. And by more detail I mean full video examples for joint stretching.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

With all respect, this comment shows that you haven't watched other videos before you posted. :) Other than that, everyone is offering programs, products which are not mandatory to buy. It's not a bait, it's an offer. If you are not interested, ignore it as everyone does with millions of ads on these platforms.
