I've recently started doing negative chin ups + pull ups, active hangs too and I have to say I'm truly amazed how much my posture improved in the last 6 months. Shoulder joint pain is gone too, I can't wait to see where calisthenics will take me in 2 or more years 💪✊

Hey Adam, I appreciate a lot of the footage you put in this video because you're not absolutely perfect at all the movements. Your arms are shaking during pushing up into the handstand and you were shaking when doing the pistol squat while balancing on the fence. Some of us see you as basically incredible at everything (I used to when I was younger at least) so it's great to show proof that you also have to learn and struggle through this stuff.

I went from starting out in the same fashion to you (at 13/14, like you), to primarily weights with some explosive movements and cardio - to primarily calisthenics, martial arts and anything else on the side. Calisthenics for me is pure freedom and points me towards exactly what I want to achieve with my body, wherever I am and in whatever situation. It allows me to be the 7 year old that I still am in my head and clamber around anything whilst pulling a few tricks here and there, and the fighter that I want to be; a fighter similar to grant. I absolutely love it and I primarily have you to thank for it. Thank you, Adam, so much.

I think people often forget that calisthenics isn’t just the basic compound lifts like push ups,sit ups and pull ups. Nor is it only skill work like Handstands, planches and back levers. It’s really anything you want it to be when it comes to training your upper body. You want to build as much muscle as possible using only bodyweight? Get some rings and do isolation exercises like Ring face pulls,Y-raises, pelican curls and tricep extensions etc. You can also use parallettes when doing handstand push ups and push ups, the possibilities are pretty much endless.

Fantastic video! I’ve been training by calisthenics for the last few months. I have been sticking to basic stuff and getting great results. I hope some day to pull off some of the more advanced stuff showcased here 💯

Im considering calisthenics, sprints and then possibly sand bag training for brute strength. Been training over 25 years, still learning( sometimes the hard way lol) and concluded that heavy barbell actually does eventually wear things out sooner. My goal is to be able to move athletically and to use brute strength at times- move heavy shit, manual labor etc.

This is a great channel, I've learned a lot from your channel. I don't regret to watch your video about Baki's training. Keep giving value man :)

Calisthenics is definitely my favorite form of training. Really my only form of training. The freedom to train anywhere, anytime with minimal equipment is just awesome. I love it so much to the point where I've invested in home calisthenics equipment so when I have the children and my wife is busy I can still train at home. Great video sir

It's skilled movement of body through space. It is practical, functional, and the body understands it. Even tho I squat and deadlift with weights. I still do single leg calisthenics for high reps so the body understands how to balance itself. Calisthenics is to fitness what paleo/whole foods are to diet

Went from barley being able to doing 1 pull-up just over 4 months ago to now doing 6-7 pull-ups for 3 sets. Pushups, I was struggling to do 10 to now doing 8-10 with a 35lb plate on my back for 3 sets. Working my way to be able to do Dragon Flags for reps. I now can almost do 1, where it was a total no go before. Haha. I'll take that as making progress. So far, so good. Thanks for the great content. You've been such an inspiration to me in getting into functional hybrid training. Keep on rockin'! 🤘

Calisthenics is the one ❤

I love this message. I'm 48 and maintain my strength and mobility through simple calisthenics. Push ups, pull ups, body-weight squats and variants of the three exercises. I do use rings for inverted rows, however. So I do have a small amount of equipment to help.

I have been doing partials, ala Jesse P, and have noticed quicker recovery and also mobility and function results. Haven't done a push up since highschool in the 80s and maybe 12 months ago I struggled to do 5 pushups. Was walking by an I-beam the other day, jumped up with finger grip and pulled myself up with ease. This stuff works!

Amazing video

Same here. Started doing lots of pushups and situps as a teen, and when I got my first bench I could bench press over 125lbs for reps. Got into weights for a long time thinking I “outgrew” calisthenics. Fast forward to my mid twenties and my elbows and shoulders were so beat up I could hardly train anymore. Realized pushups didnt bother them so much and started doing them a lot. Then went a few years only doing pushups, pullups and lunges. After a year or so my shoulders and elbows felt great again and I was in better shape than I had been for years. I’m 34 now and the bread and butter to my training, like you, is calisthenics and I’m still feeling great.

Cali for life 😎

Calisthenics is by far the most fun form of training. I used to care a lot about by appearance and that was the only thing which motivated me to go to the gym. It worked out great at first when I got my newbie gains, but when I suddenly stopped getting bigger muscles it killed all my motivation to work out. I really had to force myself to the gym just so that my looks wouldn't deteriorate . Luckily I made a friend in high school who always brought me to a local calisthenics park where we did lots of pull ups and dips. We started out just doing it for fun while listening to hype music, but then discovered that we could challenge ourselves by improving our form. It's been 5 years since then and today nothing brings me as much joy as hitting a really strict chest to bar pull up

When my training principles are alligned with The Bioneer's recent uploads, it's how I know I'm doing something right haha! Calisthenics is such an amazing training modality. I started with it through Jaxblades TLTTz videos and have picked it back up the past few months due to wanting to develop more skills like with gymnastic rings, plyometrics, and handstands. Just that shift has helped me stick to it longer than most other methods like weightlifting or strictly working out for weight loss.

Basic calisthenics also warms up the joints and ligaments in your body and it can also rehab your injuries. Like fingertip push-ups helped me with fighting severe left wrist pain and it is a great pain alleviator.

That reminds me of a saying that goes kinda like: a moving gear never rusts. And it is true. Moving your joints on a consistent basis can actually prevent arthritis. Of course you should adequately recover though and not overtrain. To avoid tendonitis.

I watched this on 1.5x speed. Hope that didn’t wear you out.

I love calisthenics. It's the only thing I recommend to absolutely every one too. A good base of basic calisthenics could prevent decline in old age and more advanced and/or weighted calisthenics is great for people wanting to get stronger and bigger.

Im a week into doing minimalist weighted calisthenics routines , and it’s really helped bring back the hunger to train. For years now Iv been on and off with going to the gym cause I’m bored to tears of it. But Iv been loving just doing stuff on my dip bars and adding weight to squats n stuff with kettle bells. Kinda doing an experiment to find out how far I can go with dips , inverted row, Hindu squats /goblet squats and rdls. I use weight vest for dips and inverted row. But tempted to do a b workout of literally just Hindu squat , Hindu press up and maybe. Core exercise like leg raises

Great video as always , are there any books that you would suggest reading to learn about training programs?

Hi Adam, have you ever looked into the Sumo Shiko squat? As a big fan of Sumo, I'm always fascinated when KZreadrs are able to deep dive into aspects of it and expose it to a Western audience. Your ability to extract useful tidbits out of all sorts of calisthenics movements ( The Hindu Squat and Pushup are some of my favourites ) is great, and the the Shiko feels like a really underrated gem as well

Plzz guide me on this

For the past couple of years I've been training a mix of weight lifting, calisthenics and cardio. They're all fun, but nothing is as satisfying as pulling off a more advanced calisthenics move for the first time. In the last couple of weeks I've decided to drop weight lifting for a bit to focus on calisthenics. I'm still getting an incredible workout and honestly having more fun than ever. Isolation training requires a bit more creativity, but it's still possible. And, I'm able to train on the go, and literally anywhere. I'm not saying don't lift weights. I'm just agreeing that calisthenics are fantastic.

Good stuff. Do you also do use weights and gym equipment ?

Started lifting at home 15 months ago with dumbbells and calisthenics. My back is by far my strongest part and I credit this mostly to inverted rows and pull ups.

Calisthenics really shows who can hold their weight

The only reason more people don't do calisthenics is because it's not really popular in most of the Southern Hemisphere. In places like Russian, France, Spain, Calisthenics is super respected as a sport not like it is in America. I think Americans (I'm Americans, so I'm using the US as an example) who do Calisthenics should do their best to try and represent the sport as other parts of the world do. There's also no good knowledge about calisthenics available for primarily English speakers, all the good information on how to properly train is in French or Russian. Please reply to this with whether or not you agree, because the more research I've done on the topic, the more I realize Americans don't even do the sport, but when they do, they have no fking idea what they're talking about lmao.

No downside I would say to them. People could say that with less cushioning and more ground feel, means less protection of your feet when you step on something unpleasant, but you also risk hurting your feet stepping on something unpleasant in normal shoes. On top of the that, the slower over time hurting your feet with regular shoes, I'd argue compounds the damage to your feet and the pros of barefoot shoes outweighs the cons. Mankind has been wearing minimalist/barefoot footwear/no footwear for way longer than we and our ancestors have during modern times and have performed great feats and battles in it as well. My foot health, coordination, balance and athleticism have dramatically improved since working out barefoot and since converting all my footwear to barefoot/minimalist style years ago.

8:21 What is there actually to the idea that one could become slower or overly large from weightlifting? Isn't muscle size so difficult to attain, that no one becomes too large without really going for it (and/or taking drugs)? And the problem of becoming slower, is that not a matter of mobility practice, usually stretching of some sort, that could be missing from a calisthenics routine just as it may be ignored by people lifting free weights? Edit: though, advanced calisthenics exercises to combine strength with mobility pretty well, certainly better than just adding weight to a bar.
