You can try getting a resistance band and doing YTW’s. They are great for posture and also a good warm up for the upper body before working out. They have really helped me with my posture. I am 6 feet 4inches so posture had also been a problem for me. It is an increasing problem amongst the youth of today with over use of mobile phones etc. This is a very important issue

Hi Kyle. Just want to say that your providing tremendous value. I’ve been training Calisthenics on and off for the past 12 years with average form, always pushing to failure.

[@Kaotonix]

So much incredible content on this channel. The simplicity of videos, the quality of info, the conciseness of the communication. I thought I had read and learned everything there was about fitness, bought a bunch of weights and trained heavy in my home gym, injured myself from ego lifting, and found that although other ways may work for others depending on their goals, my personal goal of minimizing injury while building a physique like this, having less equipment, this all just spoke to me so much. I’ve seen others teach calisthenics on KZbin but this channel feels so authentic and straightforward with no flashy “look at me” clickbaity vibes. Got the notification bell 🔔 on now and have watched every video and at this point it’s just being interested in seeing you pop up in a new video rather than feeling like I’m needing anything more.

So a couple months ago I started following your nutrition principles video. I was literally eating strictly chicken, greens, fruits, nuts, eggs every single day in addition to taking up jump rope. Let me just say man, I've NEVER been this shredded in my life. I'm talking visible six pack, serratus, defined chest, shoulder muscles, weird back muscles. everything! I can do way more pushups and pullups now too since I melted the fat off of me. People were literally approaching me at the gym asking if I was a fighter 🤣🤣 I just said nah man I'm just trying to get ripped. I also started hitting the heavy bag at the gym consistently because if I have a fighters body, I might as well see what it can do! Anyways, just wanted to thank you. I've learned a lot from you.

Basic calisthenics with high quality movement plus a balanced whole food diet is the key to be aestethically desirable. Most women don't even like the caricaturesque bodybuilder type of physique. Great video, as always!

[@Kboges]

Thanks Stein! I agree with all this, 100%

[@christopherrinaldi5538]

As long as you continue to progressively overload with more advanced calisthenics exercises you will continue to grow. You don’t need barbells and dumbbells. If you mastered push ups and dips, move on to handstand push ups. I think a lot of guys stay small with calisthenics because they never push into more advanced movements. Regardless though the physique you achieve with even basic calisthenics is still more aesthetic than the mass monsters in my opinion👍🏻👍🏻

[@BiomechanicalGorilla]

A really good channel you have going here mate. I've been following for a while and what you say really matches with my experience over the years of different training approaches and what you promote is really the most sensible approach for the majority of people. I remember when I was a student on a budget I'd do calisthenics and dynamic tension exercise routines every day coupled with a 4 mile walk to university and a 4 mile walk home. I looked like a gymnast and never had any injuries. Weight training after leaving university and using commercial gyms piled on huge amounts of muscle mass, I looked like a tank but long term not good for the joints. In my mid 50s now and it is back to routines based mostly on calisthenics, with some burpees and explosive kettlebell exercises thrown in for speed and cardio plus some walking .. back to looking like a gymnast and my joints are very happy about it too. You should post some follow along routines and see if you can get a bigger following on KZbin. You deserve a bigger following and more income from your KZbin videos, you have an honest and simple message with no frills or BS regarding exercise and diet for what the majority of people want in terms of health and fitness, and it works. Good luck to you .. look forward to seeing more of your output.

bodybulding is blowing up. Being "aesthetic" has 0 healths beneft either, it's simply something you do for yourself.

I've ramped up the intensity of your style of calisthenics recently. Been pushing closer to failure (used to hold back too much) on most sets and aesthetically, I'm seeing great differences in my chest, traps, and arms. My legs were beefy before this, but they may be gaining a little bit of size, while the high rep squats done daily are taking off some chunk. I believe that this style of training is super palatable for most people, while getting you close to your genetic potential for long lasting muscle mass because adherence to this style of training is incredibly high.

[@bobbysturdy8727]

I also had recently watched your video on bulking and you had mentioned body recomposition. I know a little about body recomposition but I would like to hear it from your perspective Kyle, as you keep things simple and straightforward.

pending your video ... I look good (63 yrs) with shirt and pants on as I have no "man slide pouch", but without shirt I do have a minor soft mid section. So I figure I am near 20 BMI. My eating is about two hours on Omad with a weekly autophagy fast each week. Keep up the videos.

[@Kboges]

Hey Forest! It sounds like you are doing pretty good! Keep at it. OMAD is so effective for leaning out, in my experience. I have used it quite extensively, and I have seen a lot of clients use it successfully. Just don't slack on the resistance training. I know you wont, but I just had to add it to the comment for other readers to keep in mind 😉💪

K-Bells your new custom dumbbell which doubles as a kettlebell.

I really like your videos. You take a very pragmatic, honest approach to fitness that resonates with me. I'd be interested to learn more about your story. How long have you been training? Are you a competitive athlete? How long have you been this fit? What's your average day like? Clearly you're a smart, well-researched guy who practices what he preaches. Give us some insight. Thanks.

[@Kboges]

Thanks, Eric! I appreciate that feedback very much! - I've been training since I was a kid- 7th grade - I'm not a competitive athlete, though I competed in martial arts when in was a kid and young adult - I've been fit my whole life. I did a dreamer bulk in my mid 20's and intentionally got as big as I could, which was mostly fat. Great experiment, but I was happy to get the weight off. - My typical day is an early wake up (4 or 430), cardio, work straight until about 2, train, eat, work until about 4:30pm, eat, and then walk with my wife and daughter. The rest of the day is spending time when them, and then I turn in early to do it again. Every day, including weekends, is pretty much the same with some small variation day to day depending on schedule. If more people are interested in this I can make a video covering my typical day. Thank you for the support and the kind words!

Crazy how fast this channel has grown in several months

[@Kboges]

I know. I can't really believe it myself. I'm very grateful for the support!

[@pritamroy9320]

Hey Kyle. I've been subbed to you from maybe 5-6 months. I've stopped working out(I used to do weighted calisthenics and had that bad "on-off" consistency) for almost 9 months now mainly because of financial problem to support my diet and college pressure and some personal reasons. So for few weeks I've been wanting to get back into it as I've got the financial stability for supporting a great clean diet and it would be 3-4 days that I've watched quite a few of your videos. Yes I'm on a time constraints of 3 months to at least build a representable physique so at first I was sceptical about using your approach of doing only 3 main exercises daily because I wasn't sure if it'll give at least as much as(if not more) output in terms muscle size gain which I used to get from my previous Push-Pull-Leg routine. However I've looked into more and more of your videos and understood better what you are talking about and when I did the calculation for the weekly no. of sets that I've been doing(talking about back and chest exercises only) in my past regimens I was surprised to see that I will hit almost the same no. of weekly sets if I follow your approach. Only difference in doing it will be that I used to do 3-4 different exercises for Back and Chest and 2-3 different exercises for shoulder, biceps and triceps but in your approach I'll be doing same exercise (I've considered the variations too) for back and chest(and as by-product hitting the shoulders, biceps and triceps)7 days/week. Well I'm really intrigued now and looking forward to start my fresh journey on calisthenics from tomorrow. Your simplistic approach really lifted my mood up and encouraged me to do so because I was really feeling detached whenever I was thinking about working out and my old routine of it. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Will keep you posted about my progess. P.S. I think my growth will be rapid because when I left calisthenics my diet become really bad, sleep schedule was absolute garbage (at max 2 meals a day, mostly leading a lethargic day without eating, having lowest level of energy) and that resulted getting skinny to the bones, weak joints etc. So I really think ghat with good nutrition and sleep I can test the maximum output of this kind of training style(though I'll have the muscle memory advantage which true beginners don't have).

[@Kboges]

Pritam! Good to hear you are getting back to it! I think you will like this style of training. Trust is, give it time to work, and check out something called the Norwegian Frequency Project for more inspiration! Enjoy the gains, brother!

[@pritamroy9320]

@@Kboges thank you brother!!! I'll start in few hours. Actually I was planning my workout routine and watching your videos now. I'll be able to complete it while I get your answer of my other question about cycles.

Thanks K boges

[@Kboges]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@ysq724y]

I'm liking everything I'm seeing. I'm tempted to do your upper body stuff but continue to train legs in the gym with weights. At the end here you mention a great list of reasons to do calisthenics, but then you said "saving time". From your legs video, it sounds like people are doing more than 2x a week HIGH rep leg days. If I'm correct in hearing this information, I'd rather go to the gym on leg day & load up & get it done with 4x10 each move, rather than 3x100 each move (for example). Or is it just doing less moves? I may be wrong, & hope to see more of your videos explaining this. Thank you!

The lean, muscular, Spartan physique is by far the best looking physique.

[@renatoruiz8534]

I love the bulky, muscle look but my joints don't anymore. I'm 48 soon and will be switching to calisthenics to get leaner. Thanks for your informative videos.

[@mace4978]

Hey Kyle I have a request for you : Could you talk about the nordic curl in depth during one of your futur video ? I have a few questions like is it a good variation for leg exercises among squats, lunges and the horse stance. Also can you do it as often as these other exercises you've shown on your channel or is it better to do on fewer occasions ? I know you're not a fan of skills and I guess you could consider the nordic as one. But I would still find it useful to have a quality video on it as it really looks like a helpful exercise to develop the hamstrings. Anyway great video as always, love to see that quality and depth in every topic you tackle, keep it up !

[@gunmada4]

As a teen starting out for almost a year, I'm really glad I found your channel just when I was starting to plateau, mostly because of me being bombarded with different exercises that I was ego repping my way through all of it leaving me not looking forward to my workouts which leads to me skipping some, I started to progress again when I followed your advice focusing on the basics and your discipline, I have a busy schedule and do you think the bw squats will be enough for the overall development of the legs? Would there be any injuries or pulled hamstrings that we should worry about when only doing squats or do you think that only happens if you do barbell squat? Thank you so much for your content sir, hope to learn more from you, cheers!

[@consciouspresence5880]

Muscle is gained when the fibres are broken down due to fatigue; of course they will build muscle. The rep ranges you hear of to build muscle are meaningless nonsense you should throw out the window if you care about your health. The fitness industry sells much nonsense like stimulants and BS rep ranges to make profit.

[@marceloaguirree]

​@@consciouspresence5880how many reps you usually do for squats man

[@RodAbbott]

You said "if your goals are to maximize size...don't limit yourself to calisthenics", but add dumbbells, barbells, etc to maximize hypertrophy. Is this simply just swapping a bodyweight exercise with a compound weighted version, while still following 10 to 20 hard sets per week per body part? How does the inclusion of isolation exercise(s) change the calculation of weekly sets? Thank you!

[@Kboges]

This is a great questions and it's a bit complicated to answer. But here's how I would look at it... compounds, whether high rep or low rep, BW or weighted, offer the greatest return on investment meaning you can hit a lot of muscle with a limited exercise selection. Compounds do require more recovery though. If I were bodybuilding, I would be pushing weekly volume as high as I could, which would necessitate more isolation work. I would try to hit as much muscle from as many angles as was reasonable so i might accumulate fewer total weekly sets in the form of compounds, but I would increase my total volume by adding various single joint exercises.

Lovely... I only want a greek body since am from south italy 😉 Bless you man... thank you

Calisthenics and a good diet will get you there! My pleasure, Domenico!

It's on the list! Stay tuned. I think the next few videos are going to address some of that. 🙏
