I've been following this channel for about three years. In Nov 2021 - I was 6'4' 152 lbs. Borderline anorexic. As of today I'm 192lbs, roughly 13% bodyfat. I've increased my maximum pullups from a measly 1 to ~20 in a single set with good form tapering off around 15-16 reps. Yesterday I was doing sets with a 45lb plate. I'm the strongest I've ever been, and this channel brought me a whole new perspective on long-term health and fitness. I can see muscles that I didn't even know I had. I mainly train bodybuilding but I've found calisthenics are crucial on maybe my days off, or times when I'm traveling for work and don't have access to a gym. It's truly forged a better mind-muscle connection.

That indeed is impressive! what kind of routine(s) did you follow to get to the 20 reps? I'm stuck at around 12/13. There are many options to break the plateau but I'm curious about your opinion on this... thanks in advanced 🙏 @Kyle Boggeman's, off course I'm interested in your opinion as well!

​@@TM-721 He would likely know the scientific approach to plateau's. I'm fairly sure he has uploaded videos on this topic. For me, hitting 20 reps is still a struggle, but doable. I haven't been able to specifically identify what the determining factors are - I have a noticeable drop in performance if my sleep is poor quality. The food I eat and my stress levels impact my pull-ups. Sounds voodoo, but my best sets are always when I'm in a sort of flow state and feeling nothing but my muscles. I would also try and supplement your training with an additional focus on your back muscles. I found that lat pulldowns and rows 2x a week helped in increasing my average rep count.

Now at almost 66, I can do 12 pull-ups, full ROM dips and I ATG goblet squat with half my bodyweight to a depth of 6 inches (knee issues gone!). Totally rebuilt and gaining! Great advice as always!

Hey man, I never comment on KZread, but for you I had to. You changed my whole approach to physical training. Instead of following any specific program, which has always failed for me, I have been training calisthenics daily for a year with only these simple guidelines that you highlight: - consistency and volume over optimization - nearing failure without risking injury - paying attention to quality of each rep instead of counting them I am in the best shape I have ever been and getting better at 27, and most of all I take pleasure from training. I cannot thank you enough. All the best

After training bodybuilding exercises my entire teenage years to basically 30 years old, I can say, without a doubt calisthenics has built the most muscle and the shortest period of time I have ever witnessed. People are so wrapped up in weightlifting and bodybuilding splits, they are just so naïve or unwilling to accept the pure unadulterated power of calisthenics to build an extremely muscular and aesthetic physique. I have seen muscles on my body grow that I could never get to with weightlifting. Gymnastics and calisthenics training have changed my life drastically. Great post bro.

You hit the nail on the head. There are so many folks out there that believe that they need to somehow 'hack' fitness, that there's some magical key, a special split, a special method etc. and like Kyle says, they look at folks that are already straining at the edge of their potential (often with PEDs to help) to somehow guide them. But the reality is quite different, what this journey really requires is faith in the biology of your body to respond, development of mental discipline to stick with it, and continual refinement of the basics.

I like this, thank for sharing! I like the last part about how "the basics can give you good gains" I agree!

I can second everything you said in this video! In my early twenties I was doing unregular and very simple calisthenic exercises on and off, but once I started doing them regularly a little over a year ago (at around 26), I have noticed a steady increase in muscle gain, strength, endurance and overall health. Nowadays I try to exercise 3-4 times a week while varying between pull- and push-focused days. It's always fun, I always discover new ways of varying exercise levels which keeps me motivated, and it feels like I've only just begun my journey! I may not watch all of your videos, but I tune in once in a while and your channel is the one that got me fired up the most for my calisthenics journey.

As you have said here and in one of your videos about legs, we aren't training for mass. There doesn't have to be isolation exercises and a ton of excessive volume.

Hi K boges, could you make a shoulder training video using the rings? good video

Old school bodybuilders did a ton of pull ups and dips, and.. they were the first dudes in game with that, street workouts came way later.. Look at Franco Colombo's tight pull ups behind the neck, still strong enough to do it, even with much too much meat on his body, that was impressive, and we did them to, today most people only do the in the front, to the chin

Thank you, Derek!🙏

If I heard this advice 50 years ago I probably would not have listened. But then I was not hearing "smart" if there was much of any smart around. Now after working out in the gym for around 5 decades this is the smart path to the proper and sustainable development of the human body. Rock on and Amen!

I love how your approach to fitness and health is similar to my way of thinking. In my 20s and 30s I would spend couple hours of training exercise, which included running/road racing. Now, I take what maximizes the most for the best results in *less time* from what I have experienced thru the years. And still keep my physical shape and stamina. Now, my days of training exercises are done. Thru the years I've gone from 5 sets to 3 sets and now to 1 set only of pull-ups, horse stance, small weights - squats, military press, upside down push-ups (back against the door or wall) and a bench press. In addition, to a few arch and leg stretches to warm-up before I start, which usually gets me going even when I'm not as motivated. I finish off with the 5 Tibetan Rites and single wheel roller. And wrap-up with about 3 minuets of lymphatic exercise on my mini trampoline. All these exercises in less than 40 mins. including some time petting and talking to my cats, and my body is still physically cut with stamina. And people are shocked when they find out my age. Watching your channel is a big plus for many reasons as I continue to invest in my fitness without putting a lot of stress on my body. Thank you and keep on trucking!

@@ronald7482 Because of my new work schedule for the last two years - 4 to 5 days then a hot and cold shower afterwards, and I set aside the time to do them before going to work.

Great simple good advice as always👌💪 Still waiting on that top 10 favorite exercises video😜 And what is your opinion on Kettlebell swings? And the combination of calisthenics and kettlebel swings

Thanks for everything, man ... your aprroach is resonating with us big time. I have a question .. cuz I try to do pullups a lot .. I watched some talk about how to grip the bar so that it's mostly hitting your fingers ....but I lose power with that .. how do you deal with Calluses?

Hey long time subscriber. Love your videos. Can you make video on CARDIO. What you do? Or good cardio building tips? etc? Thanks!!

I love your concept im a heavy believer in compound movements . These are everyday movements we use and you will gain crazy size doing them and burn alot of calories because it involves using your whole body . I built alot of muscle from doing these as an ex powerlifter. But since ive had a couple of injuries calesthenics is not that different from powerlifting except the very heavy weight training ,but the basic movements are the same.isolated movements are usually used when rehabing a particular muscle group or body part. But for the most part the way your body normally works is by using everything altogether. Dont make training difficult its nit suppose to be .
