There are also 2 components to calisthenics. You can only do skills training with 5mins rest which does little for muscle damage and growth or you can also treat it like a proper workout. Cali isn't just 1 thing

[@albertorossetti7959]

As an MD, how sad/annoying to listen to the testosterone conversation. "I will integrate as a declining adult who is below the physiological levels". These people don't realize it is physiological to have declining levels: it is a process we call aging!! Trying to fight it with pharmacological interventions (even under medical guidance) because one, like Dorian Gray, wants to be “forever young” can be very dangerous. Testosterone and GH supplementation increase blood pressure, diabetes risk, cancer risk... Dejan (but also Daniel...) should have better stayed talking about what he knows and what he is good at, and not do ridiculous misinformation, even comparing steroids to magnesium...

[@omramoryth]

Clinically prescribed TRT is more than safe.

[@sebastiencormier4306]

Anecdotally. Some guys suffer severe depression until they get t injections. Many women use long term oral birth control pills for the sake of quality of life despite possible side effects. Isn't risk to benefit analysis a bit of an individual subjective judgement call?

[@MrAlepedroza]

@Eddy Val Bro-science detected, opinion rejected. Sell your snake oil somewhere else. The body will inevitably generate lower T with aging, supplements and workouts can't compensate that, unless you want people to believe I can equate a steroid cycle with pollen and squats, lol!

[@CaptainCalisthenics]

Yeah except levels are half what they were a few decades ago

[@istvanfodor8704]

I agree it was ridiculus. Comparing TRT and GH to Vitamin D was very dull. Also, He mentioned age 35 (OK, it cab be 40, whatever)to be a point when TRT decrease for him would call for TRT.. extremely bad message and sad to see the that only size and strength at whatever method is what important (generally that is behind such a thinking imo)

Can someone help me? I don’t know if it’s better to train front levers in reps or timed holds. Right now with strict form my max is about 5 or so seconds maybe more before form gives way. I usually train front levers in reps and not holds. So for instance I’ll do eight reps held at the top for 2-3 seconds. I make sure to slowly go down and back up before holding at the top again. I just don’t know if I should do maybe 3 sets of max holds or if doing moderate time under tension for reps is better.

NATRUAL VS ENHANCED

[@claudiucosar]

i would not follow the advice of taking testosterone boosters based on the recommandation of an athlete which does not have any scientific research in this domain. testosterone should not be taken in isolation IMO but along with other anabolic factors/hormones etc. i like you humbleness but during this talk the other party often seems like a bit arrogant, not sure if its' from the 20 years of experience or not. "balance diet" is not good for human health...it relies on mixed macros which trigger the RANDLE cycle...watch out of it....

[@manimal9871]

Courage? lmao a legit fake natty smh

[@WiliantoMulti]

Calisthenic put much work with minimum results and greater injury compared to free weight training for example using barbbells or dumbbells or machines. Its all about training in a smart way, so u waste less time but with max result. Some exercise work more with specific muscle that u want to target or hit or grow some target more thanone muscles. Its about knowing ur own body really, what is missing and needs to upgrade, what shouldnt be trained too much, etc3.

@Another guy with a Mustache Shorter people can't put on more muscles than taller ones bro, if a 5'7 ft man and a 6'3 ft dude start working put the same time they will probably build muscle on a very similar level. Let's say both individuals build 26 lbs lean muscle mass in a year, the shorter dude will look more muscular because his body frame is smaller in general.

[@coachdraz8866]

@Another guy with a Mustache I'm 175 and we have similar genetics very lean from the start. When I took drugs I was very lean, litteraly dry for competition at 78kg easyyyy and looked 90kg. Now when I'm full natty I barely hold 70kg because of my metabolisam. And also I'm talking about his muscle shape...fullness is on another lvl as was mine. Now my delts and chest are flat as f. That full belly shape can only be achieved with drugs because they give you those extra glicogen stores that you can't get natty for a white guy. Again look at Daniel. His delts are super lean but flat as f. Doesn't matter the height. Those are facts. Like it or not. The problem is that he lies and gives everyone fake expectations and that is bad. Don't kid yourself. Mby he's not on drugs at this moment but he took them. I'm not a hater I don't even follow this guy. I like Daniel for his knowlege about calisthenics and bodymovement. I'm just sick after 10yrs in this industry of people still not confessing about drug use. It's not bad at all if you're smart about it and want to become pro at your sport. Just stop lie about it, that's all. ✌🏻

Both of them take steroids, they don't have a negative view on it because they have both used it or are still using it. Not saying they didn't work hard, but definitely not as hard as a natural. Both these jokers don't have a clue about nutrition. lol

[@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech]

@Itachi Uzumaki scientifically. You can gain more androgen receptors based off lifestyle and diet. Then if you have high natural testosterone production and a good hypertrophy exercise program. It could be possible to put on a lot of muscle mass. However this will require a lot of research on the endocrine system, nutrition, metabolism, etc. Most typical influencers don't know this stuff and aren't willing to learn it. It's rare to have a person willing to do the research and be consistent in exercise. Many people are also not willing to teach others as well. I used to but then I realized a lot of steroid users take what you teach them and use it to benefit themselves while being frauds. Liver king is one of them. He took what science is proving about low carb research and made a joke of it by being a fake natty and using peusdo ancestry lifestyle nonsense.

[@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech]

@Itachi Uzumaki exercising for appearances is definitly a feminine mindset. It's based on seduction. Real men workout for self performance improvements. Don't get it twisted. There's actual science proving health benefits for physical and mental well being. The military definitly realizes this. Hypertrophy has disadvantages if it is the main focus. Strength and endurance have much more practical use. It can be sustainable long term the more you learn about the mechanical. Unfortunately most will not and most will prioritize other things in their lives.

[@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech]

@Itachi Uzumaki Give me a example of a male lion wearing ornaments or enhancements in order to attract a lioness. I've never heard of such nonsense. The lioness recognizes the alpha lion based off his behavior from him and the pack. It's nothing about appearances. The idea that you as a man are even trying to seduce a women using appearances is feminine AF. Alpha's set the trend, the beta's copy the trend hoping the other gender mistakes them as the alpha. Notice the pattern? Guys who take steroids are not real men. They have a feminine mindset. That's exactly why they also are obsessed with dominance and submission. It's the feminine psychology towards sex. The alpha is a planner for the pack, when he selects his female, she has to be a good mother for the youth in health and personality. Your mindset is so flawed. Responsibility is the only requirement to be the alpha. It's not always easy or pleasant, but it is what must be done to be a leader. I don't think you understand since you likely have denial as you are born a man and want to believe you are women.

[@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech]

@Itachi Uzumaki Hormones are related to behavior. Higher testosterone is related to improved performance. The lion having a specific mane which lioness prefer is related to the lions testosterone level. So how does a lion or a man have higher testosterone than others? It's lifestyle. The lion is not injecting drugs to get it. The lion lives a lifestyle that gets him higher testosterone. This is affected by food, healthy habits, and most important of all responsibility. All of this leads to success, but don't forget it also came with mistakes. When you are a leader, you are responsible for the pack. The reason why a beta can never be a alpha is because the beta is selfish. He only thinks about himself. If the beta becomes the alpha, he destroys the pack. The pack will get destroyed by outside forces or rivals because a selfish leader does not have the ability for long term planning. This has happened in history for humans when a prince inherits the kings throne and is not a real alpha. A true alpha has conquered himself and others. He understands how much selfishness and empathy is needed to establish the leadership role. The rest have not figured it out, they become the betas and omegas. The beta is too selfish and will be a judas to the alpha. The omega is too empathetic and gets bullied. I believe gays like yourself have not figured out how to master yourself. You have instead accepted a delusion. Omega's and Beta's are the same. They project their insecurities on others and blame external sources for their failures. They refuse responsibility.

[@tommaso99]

Not often you see someone use a strawman to bolster their own claims of honesty: Stipke: people say having a bicep vein is a sure fire sign of steroid use (which is obviously absurd and idiotic)...Therefore i'm clearly not on steroids?!? Respectfully that's disingenuous and mythically stupid. The steroid accusations are due to the fact you have added a significant amount of size/muscle mass later on in your training career and the shape you have - by comparison you make the host (who is a big guy with decent genetics and a lot of muscle mass) look like he barely lifts. The comments about "chicken and broccoli" and other comments about people simply not being willing to train hard enough/put in the work are also huge red flags - to the point where they have become memes. I'm not weighing in on whether you are/aren't natural, i couldn't care less but the way you handled these questions doesn't help your cause.

Great inspiring and instructive stuff. I am however making a comment to disagree about a vein showing on the biceps being a sure sign of steroid use, Maybe true when you are young and steroids users have an unnatural level of vascularity, but as you grow older, I am 73 now, you start getting veins showing everywhere, hands , forearms, biceps , pectorals, legs etc... from mid 60s onwards in my case. Like you I was a gymnast when I was young and then I went on the do calisthenics throughout my life to keep core strength, although like you, I did not know the word till much later and I never took steroids, but my veins sure show everywhere now. It's not just me, look at very old men, they all have veins showing all over their hands and i guess they will have veins showing on their biceps too.

Mans on the juicy juice

[@emmacunningham6333]

Gosh those biceps 😳 Dejan probably has the best physique in the calisthenics community. Can you invite Brawny King Fitness on the pod? He is a hidden gem in calisthenics.

[@mariuxxxx1]

it's not build on calisthenics i can give you perfect example like GymnasticsMethod who does that for years

[@tobiasseul8283]

Your channel seems very professional and you give good information about training and flexibility. I'd be interested in how to get rid of a tendinitis (not sure if that's the correct english word). I injured my subscapularis tendon about 4 months ago and can't train pushing and pulling movements because the injury comes back if I put burden on it. Is there a way to train around such an injury? Anyways, keep up the great content PS: Sorry for the bad wording, I'm not a native english speaker

Golf elbow here, more then one year.. it even hurst when im in bed and holding phone with bent arms.

[@eljefe5536]

Very light and high reps with bands is very useful. I cured a double tennis elbow with that, after trying everything. Got to pump blood and fluids into the injury zone.

[@tobiasseul8283]

@@eljefe5536 Thank you, I already thought about strenghtebing the supporting muscles and tendons, but didn't try it yet. I guess I'll have to buy some resistance bands

[@jebhank1620]

There’s plenty of useful info online, but for issues like this it’s incredibly important you talk to a well reputed sports physio. They really know their shit, and will sort you out quick.

Yes my Fav Calisthenics athlete or maybe a bodybuilder now 🤣🔥🔥

[@mike90susanoo84]

As someone who's mainly been doing calisthenics for awhile mostly but does implement some free weight work like kettebells, I do personally miss the feeling of isolation work especially when doing bicep curls with a barbell or dumbell

[@bruh_mercs1836]

Agreed

[@zig8nor412]

Another classic! This was great, thanks. I am learning so much from your videos. I have been noticing changes in strength & physique when I started to implement hybrid training. Finding the ideal rep ranges is one of the best studies any one can do.

[@jesperpetersen636]

This inspired me. I train only bodyweight but allso bands and trx and lifting heavy things one i a while. So hybrid training is insane effective

[@PB22559]

Same here. I also swim a lot too, which adds a completely unique element and enhances my results from calisthenics, trx, bands and lifting.

[@homelessrobot]

my bicep vein is bigger than my bicep. definitely no steroids here

[@archaic100]

Not natty

[@jackwestjr3584]

Did a park bars workout today, nowhere near the level of these two but on my level. Coming home and listening to this is just so motivating that I want to go back down there in the dark and cold and do more.....but I won't 😀. Great interview loved it 👍👏👍👏

[@MrGroetale]

Are you going to have Sondre Berg on and talk about metal hydrites?

[@SolRC]

Weight taint 🤣. Why no dead lift, curious as a new.

[@geodram3549]

Top dog and a nice person 💪 he was very supportive and motivational in greek calisthenics National championship 🇬🇷

[@egeabali]

ntgl, this have just became my future route. I do weighted cali rn, with the focus of getting the max skills. After a few years of that, or maybe sooner I will probably lean to other areas. I mean, I never understood following something religiously (even the religion). I think people shouldn't be so afraid of the change. It is life man, you live ones. Like literally, why wouldn't you experience new things?

[@dirtworshiper2800]

I just do different stuff each workout. Keeps my mind and body guessing. I really like all your vids. Thanks for posting.

[@USUARlO1]

Spanish or english subtitles in next videos , please 🙏

[@almightyqdogg]

I wanna do hybrid training but I never worked out before at all so I hid a lil advice.. Im planning doing weighted Calisthenics as my goal like my plan as my end game.. mainly doing calisthenics basis with a few weighted training is that ok ??

[@teatimescreations9659]

I don't understand the controversy around testosterone... as a woman we openly talk about estrogen replacement. As we age we know for sure some levels of a bunch of things go down and we NEED to supplement. Not to mention the potential loss of libido, which I think is a big deal. Refreshing to see people talking about it in an open informed and intelligent way.

[@scramjet7466]

I want to comment again. Holy shit, I'm that guy who wants to do everything. I do some kind of exercise almost everyday and sometimes when I'm obsessed with one muscle group I do it continuously. On top of that I like to run aswell. Damn this video was very eye opening.

[@dennfoo]

Theres a thinline between confidence and being cocky....but this guy is just full cocky mode in my opinion.

[@brendon2462]

Well he grew up as a gymnast did gymnastics.

[@UmutUcler]

I'm also fasting but if I train in the morning, is it important to break the fast to get proteins or keep fasting? I usually fast until dinner time and have a 4 hour window where I eat but can't figure out if I should keep fasting. I'm 37 years old and just recently started calisthenics without any testosterone supplements (illegal here in Denmark)

[@ertugulgazi6810]
