what did u start and end at

[@Zygostatics]

@Kemohr Sesay Austin or me? Not sure what Austin’s weight is. At my heaviest I was 187lbs at 5’8 relatively lean but not shredded. I’ve been lean bulking for a similar amount of time and started around 150lbs

[@JasonGGMU]

Hey guys. I am an amateur at Calisthenics. I have recently started it at home and I love it and I really wanna get better at it. I used to go to the gym earlier so I'm not completely new to physical training. I need some guidance but it's too expensive for me to subscribe to expert programs that these KZbinrs create. I just watch their videos and manage to learn but I feel I lack some guidance. Can you guys suggest something? I am even ready to connect through social media as friends and learn with you guys if required. I really wanna grow through Calisthenics.

Any kind of genuine help would be appreciated.

[@MarkTBeats]

Dude, I hate this so freaking much... It feels like my work is discredited this way. " ill train like you for a couple of weeks, and reach your level". Are you freakin kidding me?!?! People don't realize how much dedication, patience, how many tries (and so on it) takes to reach a straddle planche! To learn a perfect handstand takes months.....

[@MarkTBeats]

@Keep Rocking! For myself of course but I hate when I work insanely hard for something and people think that is achievable within days or weeks! And they are acting like "meh... its not that hard"

[@MarkTBeats]

@Keep Rocking! I do this and did so I can help out other people and motivate other people. Not for the "wows" 5 months after I started, I noticed that nobody really cares about skills only people who are really into callisthenics. We were talking about how people discredit other people because THEY DO NOT KNOW what they are talking about, not about "ouhh it sucks so much that people do not care about my skills" How would I ( or anyone)care about somebody's opinion when they don't even know what they are talking about... Let's say you put on 20pounds of muscle, and somebody sais that it is easy, when they are not even training. Would you be angry? Of course not , he doesn't know what is he talking about. Would he discredit your work by saying that? Absolutely yes. We do this because we care about ourselves and liv challenges and we consider training a privilege not a chore. Not for a cheap applause.... Have a nice one

Well for a year and a half (the comment is 7 months ago soo, now are 2 years and a month). You should defenetly do at least some simple skilled tricks. Look at your technics, because they are one of the most important things

[@Panther888]

same, once I learned any pose like a handstand or a yoga pose, I can go a month without it and re do it ! Im a woman and I started with weight training because I couldn't let myself go to the gym without being able to make 1 push up lol. After 3 years of weight training, I started to branch out to more body weight moves. And it was way better for me to have started with growing my muscle first and THEN do calisthenics. I tried with bodyweight first but it was just pathetic at this point haha Just sharing for anyone who might relate :)

I freakin love this guy..... getting wiser every day...much respect brother. a true inspiration.💯💯

[@ehhhhhhhhhh]

It was your channel that motivated me to really start working out 2 years ago. I was very weak because of poor ROM from a broken wrist in childhood (could not do 1 real pushup, so my strength foundation is awful). I realized that slow/steady progress is better than no progress, and now I can do 8 pushups on my fists. Big reminder to new people: track your progress. Get a note app or notebook and write down your reps/sets every session. You'll look back 1 year from now and appreciate your progress.

[@SeboHyatt]

It's nice to see your progress, man. I remember the early videos in 2014. Most people don't even know that it took you about three years before you became big. Acting like this just happened over night.

[@BlackCloud2469]

Point 3 is so on point actually. For me just after 1 year and a half, i picked up some weight training to isolate certain muscle groups and improve my overall physique, and it felt amazing.

[@pasoking2483]

Bodyweight training is a compilation of skills learnt. Once you master a skill, your brain has created so many neural pathways. Those stay for a really long time. So you will be able to do bodyweight skills after not doing them for long periods of time. That is what makes calisthenics better than traditional gym. It trains skills in functionality, which do not leave you, and in training skills, you are also refining your mind and requiring your brain. It has both physical and neural benefits.

[@adelazeem5608]

All I can say that this video is a gamechanger for beginners (like me) who are starting out calisthenics for the first time (like 6 months to 2 years). Take his advice seriously, I am new to his channel but I already understand he is quite an expert in his field of knowledge. Taking his advice, in my opinion, was the best thing I ever did to my calisthenics journey and I hope you take his advice too!

[@olalekanaleem456]

I got inspired by you to start doing muscle-ups and it took me months to get one rep done. I eventually got a grip of it, now I can do 3 to 4 reps at intervals

[@heyitsme3682]

Been training for 3 years now mixing calisthenics/weighted calisthenics/weight lifting when I need to focus on a lagging body part. Specialization is the most important thing I did on the start of 2020 I always noticed that my arms were lagging so I put an extra more attention and look at them now, full off stretch marks at BIGGER THAN LAST TIME! Thanks for being an inspiration to my 15 year old self 3 years back💪🏻

[@DingasPro]

Austin I totally agree that it's normal to branch out to other styles of training. I have been doing calisthenics since the 1st of May 2018. So it's been about 2 years and 4 to 5 months. Personally, during my second year I added weights for my leg workouts. Just to see better results. Also, congrats on the 900k subscribers. Your videos were one of the first videos I've ever watched about calisthenics. Thank you and keep it up.

[@lukegreenthompson]

Congrats on the 900k subscribers man. You're a huge inspiration and I can safely say you've inspired me to constantly push myself in my training. Keep it up!

[@KpR0dS]

bodyweight strength stays with you indeed, i trained calisthenics only for 3 years, and then i stopped training completely for more than 2 years, i recentely started training again 3 days ago and still do muscle up, front and back lever, handstand, all the good shit, just not as clean as it use to.

[@demolitionist42]

Bruh it’s called muscle memory lol same goes for weight lifting

[@adewilson132]

@@demolitionist42 no it’s not the same for weight lifting, you’ll lose that progress a lot faster, if you reached a point where you could bench 315 as your max then you stop training for 6 months you’re not gonna be able to lift that 315 again.

[@force_pieedits5497]

I agree with what you said I used to just like lifting but quarantine forced me to try new things and calisthenics are pretty cool

austin i dont know if youve seen that movie edge of tomorrow with tom cruise and emily blunt? but that move that emily does with the planche was pretty impressive. she was able to hold it for quite a while and only trained a few months before she could do it.

[@reillytorralba4074]

I agree with point number 5, I'm looking at all these videos and try to figure out what's best for me but I get confused. Also the same thing happened with me but with the L-Sit, one day I was like "let me try and L-Sit (around 3 weeks ago) and I could do it for at least 10 seconds but I barely train it, I barely train abs and core as well and the fact that I was able to do it was cool. Before this I lifted, bench, squat, deadlift, cleans, and some snatches. I've stopped lifting and started to focus on Bodyweight movement is because I'm going into the Air National Guard and I'm training for boot camp. But I said 2 or 3 days ago that when I come back, I will focus mostly on calisthenics for upper and lower body and some weighted runs, sled push, and sled runs for the lower body so I can get it stronger. But good luck, thanks for the info, and congrats man, I've been watching this channel for about maybe 2 years now and nice work. I'm a fan of the Calisthenic vs power lifting vids
