Hi Adorian, I have no particular question to ask you. You are always very clear in your videos. I simply wanted to thank you and tell you to continue like this. Reading your blog for months I'm doing small, but constant improvements :) Simple things always win. Bye!

[@boonb1]

Was able to do 13 pull ups but slipped on black ice at my job now I'm back to 4 do to wrist rehab lol. I'll get back there soon

[@frog6054]

50 push ups ✔ 30 dips ✔ 50 squats ✔ 16 pull ups... Just need 4 more reps to get to the benchmark!

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

You are there

[@Ruperstinsky1]

Nice work Adorian ! I am very happy to see you back 😊

[@sharonwooster147]

Great stuff💪love u to do a full body intermediate level routine,sets and reps or circuit style..salute to all the Romanian Calithenics crew,keep up the good work

[@MrManuuzzz]

i think getting to 20 pullups is WAY harder then getting to 50 squats. maybe this is personal but getting to 20 pullups is a feat of strength. I have trained pullups a few years ago (lost them of course as i stopped training), and i trained a while and still was not on 20 pullups. 50 squats, with a bit of sweat and no training, could be done from the first try. good vids!

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

Because everybody uses legs to walk around the whole day and weeks and they are also the largest and strongest muscles in the body, so it is normal to achieve the 50 squats faster, actually, a lot faster than 20 pull-ups. With pull-ups, one needs consistent training for at least 6,8 months to reach a minimum good foundation on which to build up to 20 reps that might require 1-3 years, depending on each background while a kid.

[@MarincaGheorghe]

Yes, but for pull-up if you try to do them close chest to bar your numbers will be much lower. And doing them high is important for full ROM.

Great job, man! You can never take these exercises for granted! You're an inspiration!

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

Thank you

[@paulcohen6727]

Kaiser Permanente did a study that showed that men who could do 40 pushups were heart attack proof- if they could do them all in 60 seconds. I tried it; I could only do 30. But I kept on trying, every other day. Pretty soon I got up to 40 in a minute, then sixty. I kept on working at it, taking longer than sixty seconds. Eventually I got up to 150 pushups in 5 or 6 minutes.

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

I bet I can't do those 40 in 1 minute. But that has nothing to do with my video as I am all about doing those 40, just not in 60 :)

[@damonclark5742]

I think I do understand the point of Paul Cohen's comment. I think he was only sharing a bit of helpful info that we all could benefit from and is a helpful addition to the great demo shared in this video. I salute both of you guys for sharing your knowledge.

ive lost over 25 pounds in about 5 months just hitting my home gym tower hard pull ups, chin ups, dips, burpees, and some bear crawls does me good

[@doktorm8223]

i am glad i have strength for all of these in less then a year of workout. weighted pull-ups, dips and push-ups can really make faster progress.

Very solid foundation but I want to add isometrics(static holds) exercises for more strength and conditioning since bodyweight training includes handstand, planche, front/back lever, human flag and dragon flag.

haha, good one! Thank you :) It's a matter of time and consistency brother until I get more exposure. But whoever comes across my content, likes it and for me it's positive feedback.

[@stluciestrength]

Any alternative to the leg raises? Even on the ground if you lack hip mobility and lower body strength leg raises are difficult. Obviously hanging leg raises are impossible or people, including me, will cheat, arching the back or swinging. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

Do knees to the chest, to the chin. And then crunches. Slowly build up and some bent legged raises

May i ask what gloves are you using??

[@AndreCruzXampa]

Well, I used to follow the ideas of Convicted Condition. But, it never worked for me. When I saw on of your videos, it made change the idea and come back to simple things and volume. Now, with pullups I am going till failure. It means that I do 6 sets and i start with 6 or 7. When I get to last set I normally can do only one or two.

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

yep, that's pretty much what volume does, exhaust you

Negative. Depends on your body type. I can do push ups and dips all day, but pull ups and squats are hard. I can deadlift super easily too.

[@moustaphamoussabouh9985]

@@benferguson8251 something is seriously wrong with you if 50 squats is hard on you. Unless you're beginner who never dd squats before, 50 reps is very very easy

Old school calisthenics I'm new calisthenics did weight lifting , martial arts over my life but very interested in calisthenics as I don't have room for weights in my home. Question is how many times a week should I be doing this routine I'm guessing 3 time a week with a day in between to rest recuperate? Thanks very much for video seems like very good goals to progress up to and get started. Cheers from Nova Scotia Canada

16:10 how is it better to do push-ups ? with hands close to your body or with hands far wide from body ?

[@varolussalsanclar1163]

Whatever feels the most natural

[@brianlocal3]

I cannot remember which video it it’s but you talk about total number of reps per workout. Can you list that or send me to the correct video? I think it was 100-150 pull-ups, 200-250 push ups and 300 squats??

So only if i accomplish the strength requirements you give here i'm able to start training in the style you do?? Or do i achieve this level of strength if i train with your style of training?!

[@micah864]

I've been training for over 3 years and can still only do about 10 pull ups in a row :/ Have been disrupted along the way with big losses of weight from anorexia relapses. But still, frustratingly slow progress, feels like I won't be able to progress past the basics. I train consistently and hard

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

Some people like you will need too much time. I can relate and it's frustrating but you have no other way around it but to keep going. You know what's useless? Training 3 years only to stop for ever. Such investment for nothing. So please never let go and find passion. Train for passion and because you love it and need it, not because you want to get to 20 pull-ups or to do muscles ups. Congrats on the grind, fuck the end and the results ;)

Just performed them as a circuit repeating them twice with a 2 min break between circuits as I could managed to achieve almost all the exercicses with the reps required excepting the final push ups where I just could managed to do only 20. By the time I did the 2nd and 3rd circuit the dips also decreased (20 reps and then 15). From one time to another you'll suggest to perform this test?

well, resistance bands and body rows. be consistent, 3 workouts a week! i also have a beginner calisthenics ebook on my site

[@АндресВера]

The exact thing happened to me. Hundred push ups, but 2 ridiculous pull-ups... I noticed I was forgetting to master them bc the lack of strength... Six months ago I started with Australian pull ups, body rows, scapula shrugs, or just hanging in the bar... Now I can do 8 weighed pull ups, and of course, it was a pain in the ass (and still 😂), but it worthed, so go for it.
