i truly love your "working down the progressions" philosophy!

[@AppallingScholar]

It's called drop sets

[@R2D_2-y1k]

Shivam Shingade no it’s not drop sets are when you are weight lifting and you go until failure and drop the weight and go until failure again

[@BarbaraGergely]

I love love these series! I am a beginner and I love the way you break down each move and show it how to do it in perfect form. As well as how many sets to do, and when to move up to a new move and how to do it to bring out the maximum of each workout. Like this, I not only have the vision of where I want to get but how to get there. It really keeps me motivated to keep on going because I see results. Thank you!

[@kattekkeldean4082]

My 10 year-old daughter saw me watching the video and did 10 pistol squats just like that (she's into her 4th year in dancesport) while I still can't even do one. Man, oh man, sure makes you feel feeble... 😂😂

[@JaySmith-rv4ro]

Kat Tekkel Dean we also, as adults, sit down waayyy too much. Get up and drop it low (pistol squat that is!)

[@proverbalizer]

first time I had a pistol squat described to me was when I was still in elementary school and my (younger) brother was talking about a female classmate doing them

The way Chris breaks down the progressions are superb. I came across his videos a few weeks ago and my workout routine has truly improved. So grateful to have found these videos.

I love these calisthenics videos! I'm determined to get back into shape but some of these are so difficult. i have screws in my knee and hip from an injury that limit my mobility, but i still work every day to become more flexible to master calisthenics. I'm glad I can build a workout around all your advice Chris!

[@DCRiley]

Barstarzz got me interested in calisthenics & bodyweight training at the beginning of the year--but your channel got me hooked on working out. Super informative & inspiring. I've lost 20+ lbs since the New Year thanks to you & strict dieting. Thanks so much, dude! Only getting started here.

[@TheLastSophieAlive]

Can we get a video on stretches & exercises on how to improve mobility? Also on how to incorporate them into a workout (before workout, after workout or on rest days)?

[@jamiespooner]

I only started doing calisthenics since coming across your channel last week. It's probably one of the best fitness channels I've seen on here. I've been weight training for the past year and I thought I would try something different. I've just completed the first week of the beginner program on your app and I can definitely feel it! Your KZbin videos are spot on especially the way you encourage people to keep going who may not be able to even do one rep! I'm addicted already :)

[@electromove18]

Chris I've been watching many of your videos and you have inspired me to get back into calisthenics. I quit years ago because I wanted to gain more with weights but I became less athletic and using your videos has helped me to get back into it and feel like an athlete again. Thank you I wanted to know if the thenx team can set up a diet program on the thenx app for cutting and also for muscle gain. Thanks for sharing your videos with the world and inspiring others @officialthenx

Never thought that all these basics are important for every single workout. I just started with workouts for each muscle and didn't even have the perfect form for push ups/pull ups/Squads etc. Thanks for this vid im gonna restart everything.

[@djvasforever]

Great video, great progression. You should've also included stretching, some people can't raise their legs not due to ab weakness, but because muscles are way too tight so the knee hurts if you go anywhere near 90 degrees.

[@rexmantiri2050]

Watchdog could it be an ab/quads problem that prohibit you from actually keeping your leg parallel to the ground?

sit on the floor with back as straight as possible. then just stretch out hamstrings. reach for your toes!!! back straight, legs striaght, beware of pain though, could be a sign of over excertion and will result in small tears.

Hey Chris, got any tips on how to strengthen my joints? My knees and wrists have a tendency to hurt when im exercising, especially in the beginning - despite the warmup. Love your videos, they keep me motivated. Peace!

[@1tubax]

Paul Afterbye no bro you're just probably doing the technique wrong, otherwise, visit your doctor and check if you have calcium deficiency.

[@1tubax]

Paul Afterbye also make sure your warmup is long, keep doing these warmup exercises until you no longer feel joint pain.

[@ezzyez3442]

I had the same thing happening until I got it checked out, turns out I was calcium, magnesium and potassium deficient. Get your vitamin and mineral intake on check, and this condition will start getting less and less noticeable!

You need magnesium along with calcium for healthy bones, potassium for overall healthy cells allover your body

[@sandercohen5543]

Another great exercise for core to build strength for L sit among other things, is to lie on the floor on your back and, keeping your legs straight, pushing them up towards the ceiling. You can train reps, or isometrics, and it's especially i've found to come up quickly, but resist when your legs are coming back down, so you get a good spread of stress on your lower abdomen. It's a good compliment for situps, and everyone can do them.
