Top 10 Rules of Calisthenics (FOLLOW OR FAIL)

Your statement is not true at all. I used kipping to get good at muscle ups. As I got stronger I stopped kipping. It is an AWESOME way to use momentum to get your body used to the muscle up then eventually you won’t have too.

1. No kipping
2. Do compound exercise: Pushups + dips
3. Full range of motion
4. Isometric holds - 10 - 8 - 5
5. Do 6-30 reps for muscle
6. Do 3-5 reps for strength
7. Rest times: 3-5 mins for compound exercises. 1-3 minutes for isometric exercises
8. Be patient and stop testing strength
9. Work the scapula
10. Don't skip legs

Sounds like I'm going OK with my technical! Thanks heaps for explaining in such an understandable manner. Amazing strength and control. That's what I am working towards now!

What about train to failure?

Just insane how easy Daniel makes it look.

Really impressive knowledge and athletic ability

Thank you su much sir...💜🙏

What about partial movement after full range to fatigue the muscle for further time under tension

Fucking crazy watching him just do 3 one arm pulls ups in a row, looks like a big guy too

wrong use of the word homeostasis but excellent fucking video man. congrats and many thanks

too complicated and didnt used videos of showing exactly what he is talking about, using terms beginners simply dont understand, video sucks.

I almost skipped this video because of it's click-baity title, but this is totally legit. This is great advice I try to convey to my clients all the time (and need constant reminder of myself)

This is like THE BEST Calisthenics and fitness overall related video I have ever seen! (And I've seen countless.)This guy is pure gold, protect him at all cost! ☝Well done mate!

Thank you for keeping this video short and informative!

After going to the gym for years and getting shredded, I took a break in 2021.
5 months ago I started up again, this time trying out calisthenics.
The hype is legit. Although (obviously) I don’t look shredded, I feel so much stronger compared to when i would worship the gym.

Im using kiping to start the muscle up, i pretend to take away most of the kiping as i progress

About kipping, gymnasts often train for hard movements by dynamically holding the position until they have strength to hold it statically. As long as it's done with intent and progressive overload, there's no need to limit yourself to strict form full reps.

WHERE IS THE BACKROUND MUSIC FROM?!

THANKS BRO. I AM FORTY FOUR. JUST NOW I HAVE STARTED TO GET MY BODY IN TOWARDS RIGHT BMI. I USE YOUR VIDEOS TO GET MY SCHEDULE FOR YEARS TO COME. YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE FOR SURE.

So even if I just want to focus on calisthenics I should use weighted workouts for my legs in order to keep them matching my bodies strength? I guess that makes sense since legs are literally designed to hold your weight all day so body weight exercises wouldn't be as useful for them

My rest time between sets is usually around 6-8 weeks

How do I get stronger push-ups without adding weight? I can easily do 20+ without feeling anything but I can’t really make it more intense because I don’t have weight to add and I also want to train compound strength while I’m traveling.

The most important is #1. But you missed other major points. REST ENOUGH. Feel what is the limit where your body wants to go and do not overpressure when you are at beginner stages. Everyone is different and all of us have different background. We should slowly build first core and fix assymetry in our bodies. It is okay if core building will take 1 2 or even 3 years. For young boy 16yo it is okay probably to advanvce fast. But if you are 30,40+, - listen to your body. After that and only after that extras should be added. And the last MAJOR point which you missed, - STRETCH and MASSAGE! I was skeptical about massagers. But get the massager. Cheap massager won't do great job. It should cost at least $150. I bought one open box for $100. Don't do just calisthenics. Do run. Do rowing. Do walk. Balance your life. Extra advice, - don't forget about Hammam sauna's. Get cheap one on aliexpress and put anywhere is suitable, - balcony, garage, outdoor.

For kipping, the lack of carry over is somewhat irrelevant. What matters more I think, is that kipping is a great way to give yourself rotator cuff damage, potentially permanently.

I disagree with your take on range of motion though. While best practice is to use full range of motion when you can, not everyone can. A better way of talking about it is as an ideal to be worked towards. If you have a disability that prevents you from using your full range, or if you just don't have the strength to do full range, for many movements it's something you can build up to using a smaller range of motion that you expand over time. Though I'd also say that using easier variations that do incorporate the full range of motion is better where applicable.

MO and MO EDITS. So another disagreement as it comes to hypertrophy. This one is much more of a grey area, but it really depends on the kind of hypertrophy you're looking for. High rep ranges will tend towards sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, allowing for more muscle glycogen uptake, and better endurance. However, high intensity low rep ranges will encourage more myofibrillar adaptions for more actual muscle fiber. This is most pronounced with non calisthenics, and bodyweight exercises come with their own challenges involving safety and form at low rep ranges, so they definitely should skew higher than 6. Personally, I think 12 or so is the sweet spot for reps in a set that can be performed with good form for maximum safe hypertrophy.

I don't understand what means reps... For building muscle volume, what is best then? Few times many repetitions, or many times in one whole round?

I’m not one for clickbait titles but this one drew me for some reasons. I watched it and have found the title was true. I’m happy I watched

Question: isn’t it bad for your joints (elbows or knees) to lock your elbows out at full length like this guy? It doesn’t look very natural. I usually try and just do the exercise until there is BARELY a bend in the joints. The little extra bit doesn’t seem significant enough to risk Injury

"Kiss". I think it's genius! Accepted and (will be) applied even out of training.

Great Video

I find when I get better at Calisthenics, I get better as a Cyclist.

Immediately stopped watching after your shit take on point 1.

❤😂🎉🎉

what city has all these nice ass bar set ups

How bout a pause at the bottom till momentum is dissipated

Hello do you have a video with exercises for the scapulas?

Great statement: Partial movements mean partial results. How true.

❤😂😂🎉🎉

❤🎉🎉🎉

❤😂😂🎉

Yes bro but I'm fat

full range of motion is not necessary.
as long as you don't perform a dangerous movement and/or claim to perform it with full rom there is no problem with partials

But your legs are so small are there no leg calisthenics workouts?

Awesome video

Whoa! Highly fit individual.
Thanks for your inspiring words. 💪🏾

Thank you
