Pull-up & Dip, Street Lifting Competition, Farnham, UK. 2024.

[@shawn60068]

I've heard people say they don't want to live at an older age and are afraid of it. Do you think this man feels the same? He can do more moves then probably 95% of people currently!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Thanks so much for your support. Much appreciated 😊

[@lewisgordon1490]

By staying active like this will keep one mobile at both a higher level and for longer. Those who become decrepit in their older years is almost exclusively do to inactivity. Although as one ages, you have to be more careful of using proper form & not over doing it bk you don't heal as quickly

[@lewisgordon1490]

​@funwithcalisthenics How old were you when you did the competition? I like to use data like that as a barometer for my own progress as I age.

[@edgarprada3171]

54 man here from Costa Rica. Just realized this year that THIS is exactly what I want for the rest of my life. I am only doing 7 pullup reps with no weight. I am in NYC right now and went to the small calisthenics area in Central Park and felt something very special to share my passion with other folks, which were quite young, but one of them was about 65 and the only thing that I thought was: I’m going to be there. Feeling strong makes you feel and BE younger Hope I can see you mates sometime

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Wow, hope you got to meet @centralparkjoe, he’s a legend. Would love to work out there one day. It certainly keeps you feeling young, as we get older 😂

[@edgarprada3171]

@funwithcalisthenics I didn't meet him. In Central Park I met people like you and me, not thinking about muscles but in the wonderful feeling when you feel STRONG. I don't know, but right now it is this feeling that keeps my mind away from aging. It's impossible to feel old if you feel strong 💪 💪

[@funwithcalisthenics]

@edgarprada3171 so true, totally agree with that. Long may it continue.

My PB was in the dip actually, 70kg this time! Think you videoed my failed 76.5kg attempt chin (last comp I did a 70 but went too high on this one!) Hope to see you at the next comp! 💪 Ben

Hi Ben! Was really good to meet you too. 70kg, is massive for both. I’m good to train specific more with these two events so hopefully will do better next time. Was good to talk. I learnt so much that day. Was a brilliant day. Yep, hope to see you again at another event.

I had to like and subscribe. I used to be very strong doing pull ups/chin ups/dips with weight. In high school, I could do quite a few muscle ups without any assist from kipping. Who knows, maybe by watching more of your videos, I might be able regain some of that calisthenic strength. I do lift, rock climb and hike. So it isn’t unreasonable to think I could spring back to some level of strength.

I'm 55 nearly and been weight training since 1990, I'm doing 40kg wide grip pull ups, I'm up to 5 reps now but I'm still working on them, when i get to 8 reps I'll increase the weight. I was going to try 60kg just to see how many i can do, i think i could do 1 or 2 reps.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

That’s so good.. well ahead of me. My most I’ve tried as one rep is 40kg, think I could do two reps although haven’t tried.

I used to do pull-ups with a twin on each foot, with myself being about 100kgs at the time. I don't consider myself strong and it had been some 13 years since I was last a gym-goer, so it was fun to know i could do it. Occassionally i'd pop that muscle from the back of the neck to the shoulder, i forget its name. Fun and games.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

I don’t consider myself strong either. I entered the competition for fun, gad a great time and came last. No idea why this video has had 100,000 views!

[@drewbewho]

@@funwithcalisthenics i suspect your high views are down to curiosity of the ageing process. I think when people hit middle age like me they have a growing interest in defying it. So the thumbnail of another middle aged guy like yourself competing on something like strength is interesting. I've started obsessing about running, dropped 14 kgs, and competing at 5km runs. And while im only 41, and inspite of my efforts, my times are only comparable with me at, say, aged 26 if i was just operating on my sort of baseline fitness level (21mins30s ish). I was given a spare pull up bar by my friend so after watching this, i'll need to find somewhere to install it and try.
