Just finished 10 sets of 10 pull-ups, 10 sets of 15 dips and ten sets of 20 pushups. Thanks so much for that routine Adorian it’s amazing! Keep killing 2020

Did you get good gains with it ? Cuz I’m skinny and I’m wondering if it’d worth it

F.C Pranks! RzK sure did man. I used to be skinny as well. Stick with high volume calisthenics and you can’t go wrong

awesome, bro. I talked about this subject in a video and I think you will relate to it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHWgWl5Yp6Xes0

Honestly, doing calisthenics and using resistance bands. I got a bodybuilder physique, specifically superhero physique. Full body training surely got me bigger thanks to you and other calisthenics athletes.

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

I am happy for you. Keep going and preserve your health once you reached your goals!

[@serenitytales24]

How long did take u to achieve the physique u're talking abt ?

[@shawnlink6553]

So will doing workouts like around the world 10 sets of 10 of each workout build muscle I know it's a fatigue workout but how much sets is enough for each muscle I know some people do 10 sets of 10 pull-ups then they move to 10 sets of 10 dips then 20 sets of 10 push-ups

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

Yes. Good numbers, no need for more. Just rest and hit again once you are fully recharged

[@shawnlink6553]

@@OldSchoolCalisthenics so doing full body all together is better? Instead of doing pull-ups first finish your sets then dips separately then push-ups, doing one after another is better in your opinion not isolation correct ?

[@arthurrobinson4644]

He's right cuz I know this when I train my upper body and then throw legs and at the end it just it works but it's not as effective so I'm going to break each body-part down separately for the week and then if I want to do something more cardiovascular I thought full body and when I go from bodyweight squats to pull-ups push-ups and simplify like that

I like ladders for new exercises in not good at. I was having trouble with pike press ups but they improved a lot using the ladder technique. Doing it the opposite way for things like press ups and dips is one of the hardest things I've ever done. 30 press ups down to one with little sweat was awful lol

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

That's awesome strategy even though many do ladders for the purpose of endurance or hypertrophy. However, it is true that works wonders for strength too

Have you heard of the playing card method? A prison thing. Deck of cards, flip first card do whatever reps it says and keep going through the deck, face cards are 10 reps.

What are the exercises that work best for the arms without a pull up bar?

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

pull-ups can't be replaced, anything else is far inferior, mostly on the functionality of that muscle chain. training those muscles separately with exercises done in the gym makes you look okay eventually but will not have any functional strength and raw power.

[@DustinRudzavice]

What do you think about example- 10 sets of wide grip pullups with 2 min rest in between sets but every set go all out, as many as you can do......do you think this will build muscle?

100% 💯

You said in the video it took you 2 years to build your body. My goal is to gain 20 lbs of muscle in 12 months. I'm 167 lbs, 5-11. Can I do this with calisthenics?

Calisthenics is as effective as lifting. No one can garantee results as you wish. Only one way to find out, by doing it and see what happens at the end of the journey, or better said, the milestone

tough, really. You gotta eat like I do here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6TLXqmgqZqDhLc Then, you have to train pretty frequently, 4-5 times a week, cardio included. You gotta train the muscles pretty hard and eat in calorie surplus, but like I say in the video

The way you talk and hold yourself in the video

[@mayukhsen8195]

Here is what the science says. You need effective volume and the more effective volume you can pack in a week or month the more you gain muscle. Very long rest period between sets. The muscle contraction has to stop as the result of the depletion of creatine phosphate in the muscles and not mounting acidity. So do multiple sets to failure but rest 5-10 minutes between sets. Repeat after 72 hours. 3+ sets.

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

interesting statement. i relate to it, just that the pause is very relative to many other factors too. to some, 5 minutes may cool their muscles way too much.

[@mayukhsen8195]

@@OldSchoolCalisthenics Well, it may seem like it but this training method is the brain child of Russian sports scientist Victor Sulianov, who has been One of the most celebrated scientists in USSR, during their weighlifting heydays, in the 80s, when they were dominating strength sports in the olympics. They say the long rest period is the game changer. If muscle contractions come to a stop due to depletion of creatine phosphate and not lactic acid, then the actin myosin bridges can't disengage properly anymore, which causes More muscle damage and the free creatine in the blood makes the myocell membranes permeable to anabolic hormones, which facilitates muscle hypertrophy. I got this from the interview of Pavel Tsatsouline by Tim Ferris, he breaks down all the details eloquently in there. Its freely available on KZbin. Its a very interesting watch, I highly recommend it, I will Post the link below.

Sulianovs slow twitch hypertrophy protocol is just amazing. The idea is that two bundles of fast and slow twitch muscle fibres that are equally thick are equally strong. An added bonus being that slow twitch fibres come pre equipped with fatigue resistant qualities. So that's a huge plus. They utilized this protocol for sprinters and their race time increased dramatically. Their squat 1rm improved by 25 percent in 8 weeks, and they were serious intermediate stage lifters and sprinters.

[@OldSchoolCalisthenics]

what you say is very interesting and I can relate easily, I know for a fact it works. i will listen to the podcast perhaps today! thank you very much!
