I do controlled slow pull up reps of 5 for 4sets. The gain in strength is similar to weight training. Once in a while i do the one rep max out. I also do assisted pull ups like 25 reps three sets.

[@captainobvious8037]

Practical information for newbies: Even if you plan on only working out at home, there's no reason not to expand your exercise options by using dumbbells and a bench. Bodyweight only is more complex and restrictive. Most calisthenics movements are more complex compound movements and because the difficulty depends on your bodyweight, it's INCREDIBLY difficult to have a good beginner phase. Why? Because you should optimize your form, develop a good mind muscle connection, notice and rule out individual problems like muscle imbalances etc.. easily 8/10 calisthenics newbies are not focusing on the right things. In the gym it's EASY in comparison. Ask chatgpt for a simple beginner routine, stick to learning the main compound lifts, use little weight on every lift, focus on your form by watching videos and perform the movements slow & controled with a pause. This way the low weight is still challenging after a few reps and your form & mind muscle connection will develop in no time. The EXACT same thing applies to calisthenics, but it can't be self-taught as easily, simply because the movements are way more complex, free and leave room for a TON of mistakes.

After lifting weights for many years I turned to a mix of calisthenics and weight lifting (dumbbells and kettlebells only) and I'm really enjoying the results. As someone else mentioned I recover much quicker and I still put on enough muscle mass for effort to show. I'm not trying to look like a bodybuilder so for me its about losing weight, staying fit, and having enough muscle mass in the right places for an even and aesthetic look. I exercise from home with very limited equipment which saves lots of time and space. When I used to lift weights at the gym my free time was centered around making trips to the gym. That's no longer the case as I don't exercise in gyms. I couldn't be happier.

[@jonathanjackson6874]

Yes calisthenics movements can be difficult. There are alternate movements and ways to build up. Same can be said for weightlifting. Most people starting out don't have the mobility to do a proper squat, deadlift, bench, etc. You should definitely start with calisthenics for a few reason. As the video said it is mainly compound exercises, you get more out of it full body wise. To include the mobility you will need for weightlifting. It does a better job at burning fat. It is more of a conditioning exercise than a strength building exercise and you should condition the body first to workout before thinking about building strenth. Yes you will also get stronger with calisthenics. Then, once you have developed strength and conditioning from calisthenics you can focus on hypertrophy and strength training with weightlifting. You could also progress to more difficult and explosive calisthenics/plyometrics. Depending on what your end goal is. Calisthenics should not be boring, a proper HIIT exercise routine with calisthenics is way more intense then just lifting. In my experience calisthenics will give you results faster due to the compound exercises and fat burning, which will help with wanting to continue exercising for a beginner. At some point you should incorporate weightlifting to some degree especially to develop the legs, fix imbalances, etc.

As long as it not of them weird calisthenics pull ups where you literally twirl yourself into circle. Weighted is always better slow control

[@jonathanjackson6874]

It depends on the purpose of the workout. Time under tension is good and should be done. But for explosiveness, a plyo pull-up would work better. Launching yourself off the bar and being able to spin in a circle takes a lot of explosiveness. For instance if you want to jump higher and only do slow and steady squats you won't get anywhere. It just comes down to what is your goal. Fast reps have their benefits as well, as long as you maintain proper form. This is why calisthenics is not as limited as the video makes it seem. Speed and explosiveness play a role as well.

When you can do like 3-5 push-ups you can probably also do exactly 0 pull ups, 0 dips, 0 handstands and possibly also 0 inverted rows. That makes it really really hard to get going. And once you do get going, volume is going to be a serious problem for a while as you grind your way up through the 1-10 rep range. 😮

If you think two people that are equal weight, yet one is 95% muscle while the other is 40% muscle, isn't going to have completely different strength outputs then... 🤡‼ God forbid they're different heights!

[@manmoth4]

​@@TENNSUMITSUMA If you still don't understand the square cube law that's fine, but it's a literal scientific law that's out there if you want to research it. As 3D objects grow in size, their surface area grows by radius squared, their volume by radius cubed. Your muscle strength is proportional to cross-sectional area, so doesn't increase as fast as your mass. This actually touches on something you said. You see, the force generated by the muscle should be proportional to it's cross-sectional area multiplied by length, since total contractile units should scale like this. But it's likely the length is cancelled out by the torque disadvantage of greater length. Anyway, point being, smaller animals having greater relative strength than larger ones is a universal trend. Elephants are strong, but could an elephant lift another elephant? Doubt it With regards "all else equal", you literally got the point backwards. When I say "300lbs Vs 150lbs, all else equal" I'm saying that they would each have the same body fat percentages, bone to muscle ratio, insertion points, etc. The point is that we're scaling the same person down to smaller size, we're eliminating the other variables to consider only the influence of overall size. This is the basis of the scientific method. You seem to even agree with me in a way? But your original comment was asking why calisthenics guys don't win strongman competitions. My point is that the strongest guys in absolute terms don't have great relative strength, because gaining the size needed for the best absolute strength causes your mass to rise faster than strength, due to the square-cube law, as explained. Hope that clarifies. Edit: ah, I get it. I agree with the top level comment, but I don't get why you disagree with the notion that a calisthenics athlete wouldn't be stronger per pound than a top level strongman

[@BaldAndCurious]

10:28 you CAN do isolations with calisthenics. it just makes less sense, since the main goal of calisthenics is compound movements. and technically, even when using free weights, they no such thing as "absolute" isolation. you'd always have some muscle group supporting you or keeping you stable while doing the main work on a few muscle groups.

Also training outside is so much better than inside. I have done both worlds for years. Calistenics wins easely. Calling it boring is strange to me, since you can use your creativity and make almost every exercise more challenging.

[@gainestics7194]

TRX 😂😂😂 what a joke, try gymnastics rings instead and thank me later

[@ebraheememad9593]

i started a month ago and i think i had the best body type when i started because i was not overweight, and i wasnt that much skinny, so i got 10 pull ups, 7 sec handstand, 40 push ups, tuck planche in my first month, the reason for mensioning this is that calisthenics is easier for some people but that shouldnt demotivate you and NEVER compare yourself to anyone else, STAY STRONG!

[@DiegoLopez-ii7ve]

Beginner, can't do 2 pullups without slightly jumping, been hanging couple of weeks now, close,mid & weith grip, reverse one's have helped me a lot, I think I'm gonna buy those bands, any recommendations??

[@meaculpamishegas1121]

You use more stabilizer muscles with the equivalent amount of free weights than body weight since gravity affects their masses differently according to position

[@TheBangooman]

I'm no doctor or fitness nerd, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I find that doing pure calesthenics is not the way to go. I mix it up with wall climbing and parkour in order to supplement bits I might not be doing as intensely as I should in calesthenics cause I get bored. It's worked out great for me, I also run 6-10km before doing the exercises so my body is already pumping by the time I start. It also helps to mix it up a bit in the sense that when you're tired of the cardio doing push ups feels like resting even though it's not. In the end my idea is to do stuff that our bodies aree naturally programmed to improve at. If you go with the angle of getting healthy rather than buff you'll eventually be yoked AND healthy. When it comes to exercising and "getting results" it's always best to not think about it, otherwise it's like looking at the clock every 5 seconds when you're 15 min away from finishing your shift, makes it feel way longer than it needs to.

[@MinusStatue11]

If I can do any flags on my core, a one arm muscle up, single arm handstand pushup, a one-legged Nordic, and one-legged Spanish squat. I think I'd be okay with a physique like that.

[@montagmoon2248]

See. If they didnt go for that unnecessary demo, ApparentlyJack wouldn't have been sending them to the junkyard the rest of the series😂

[@luciamartinm4298]

Nice video, but for the next one maybe you could try including more women. It's so hard to find representation in the fitness world, specially when talking about strength training 🙏

[@ReviveMyVitality]

Thanks for the video. Im a addict now clean for almost 6 months. I upload to youtube and change my life. Thanks man, i keep grinding thanks to the motivation i get from videos like this, i have a long way to go, but i made the start! ❤

[@ShadowfweddyEditz]

"There isn't much workouts for calisthenics" Clearly you know jack sh* about calisthenics if you think that lol there are plenty works out, not to mention weighted calisthenics are a thing? so you can just do even more within calisthenics

[@Matryanic]

So calisthenics is a good foundation, but building (at least some) extra muscle is also useful?

[@manmoth4]

It's all just different ways of applying loads to your muscles 🤷‍♂️

[@Timmy_yuskaitis]

You’d be surprised with Calisrhenics. Once you learn how to fully balance while pushing or pulling from your centerline, you gain IMMENSE gym strength. Most guys who can full planche, end up dipping and benching, throwing on at least 2 plates under the belt or on the bar. Or a one arm pull up? Imagine the strength to not swing and pull up your own body weight (I’m 190 lbs for example) Best part, is that I don’t blow up and get saggy like the body builders. We stay super lean and muscular all around even pushing past 50 in older folks.

[@sebastianospina4599]

The “no one talks about” trope here is very loosely used. If you see any calisthenics video, 40/50 things herein are indeed talked about.

[@NeoCortex963]

Pro tip: Buy gymnastics rings. This raises the limit even more. By this point there basically isn't a limit because gymnastics rings are so excruciatingly difficult it's insane.

[@MsTatakai]

single leg squat is hard due to balance to me at least...

[@ludantikasmith2869]

i don't think that "only a few exercises" is a negative. it gives you a routine and habit that makes it easy to have it as something regular in your day like brushing your teeth instead of having to find something new all the time

[@bobbyboushae7433]

Rings over the trx system all day long

[@Bearfoot-e3e]

Check out prison workouts, there are a lot of calisthenics in them and those guys know how to make their own equipment from almost anything.

[@Sam-ud9xk]

all of this is everything every calisthenics dude talks about but nice summary

[@OlyPhoenix86]

Every person I know who does strictly calisthenics look really good and don’t need more mass.

[@ThatBlenderGuy1]

idk about any one else that does calesthenics but, I think there are more push exercises than pulling.

[@defenderoftheadverb]

TRX or rings, and rings are very much cheaper. Also pushing exercises on rings, like dips and pushups, are more difficult than on p bars or floor. Pulling exercise are about the same.

[@danhemsworth7488]

Burpees didnt get a mention😢

[@MrSupernova111]

Because they're horrible exercises for your joints and back. The only benefit to burpees is the intensity which leads to burning more calories. Going out on a run is much healthier, burns a lot more calories since you can sustain it longer and doesn't require all that back bending.

[@danhemsworth7488]

@@MrSupernova111 You're either doing them wrong , not doing them, or you're doing the wrong kind. There's a reason why MARSOC trains burpees, Seals as well.

[@MrSupernova111]

@@danhemsworth7488 . I have back problems. Burpees literally hurt my back. Running doesn't hurt. But again, what is the benefit of burpees other than intensity and burning calories which I can do with many other exercises more efficiently? Its an exercise that makes no sense to me.

[@jbawg]

Burpees are for cardio not hypertrophy

[@jbawg]

​​@@danhemsworth7488they do it for cardiovascular health and general fitness. Seals also go jogging and swimming, doesn't mean swimming is gonna make you muscular because the seals do it.

I been training for a little less than a year and can almost do a pistol squat reliably

[@VudrokWolf]

You missed it seems like 200 calisthenics movements for legs

[@VudrokWolf]

By the way calisthenics mostly is the pursue of controlling your body to the maximum skills.

you can easily isolate your triceps or biceps using calisthenics

Not as much info as you'd think for the numbered list

Last year i could do 25 pull ups now i can do 10 muscleups💪

Would you make a video about Egypt since 2011 till now?

[@CrypticGamer-gv8li]

So if i get fat i can become stronger if i have like a year of training?

[@TyWerks]

Pistol squats are very impressive lol they're hard asf

[@radustefanvicol1461]

Pushups and bench pressing feels really different

[@Ypracs]

This comment section soft asf 😂😂

[@coolgamerkid763]

Short answer: just do weighted calisthenics

[@pinclaudio]

I do 100 pullups and 200 dips 3x week, that's all

[@FringeWizard2]

The other thing nobody tells you is you progress way faster by doing both gym and bodyweight. Also you start with physio type bands exercises.
