How to progressively overload in calisthenics? (with weight vest)

Feeling stuck in your calisthenics journey? Don't worry, I’ve got the solution you've been looking for. Enter weighted vest training. This isn't just for the pros - beginners, intermediates, and advanced athletes can all reap the benefits.

The secret? progressive overload. It's a simple yet powerful concept: consistently challenge your muscles, and they'll respond by growing stronger. And guess what? Science backs this up.

So, don't settle for a plateau when you can elevate. This is your key to success, not just in calisthenics, but in life. Ready to take your training to the next level?

We create awesome gear and content so you can train calisthenics stronger.

i just yeet the weight plates in the backpack

Cool vid about the angles. However I disagree a bit about progressive overload. True PO only comes from increasing weight, for the same movement.
If you add sets, reps or frequency you mainly are increasing endurance and much less so strength. Same goes for reducing interset rest intervals.

For increased ROM yes, it makes the exercise harder, but you have to decrease weight, and the only way to truly get stronger is to climb back up to the original weight used but with the new, greater ROM.

For execution speed, increased speed would be called explosivness or power generation, but not absolute strength.

All those above are valuable, speed, endurance, strength (relative and absolute), power, explosiveness, etc. But the only one that truly gives you absolute strength is increased load.

Thanks for sharing, never really thought so much about how the weight can effectively increase difficulty of more “regressed” versions of the push-up in different angles. Fitness and calisthenics YouTube seems to point you in the weighted calisthenics direction once you’re working at a certain level of a push-up rather than incorporating it into the other angles

It's not always microtears it's the intensity that challenged the body to adapt to these loads by building muscle just by the lead not necessarily damage that's why you're not always sore after an intense workout if you've done it for a lot of times

[julioreyram]

1:57 key advice!! Always let your body adapt before ramping up and ramp up carefully :). Superb video :).

I don’t have a weight vest but I do have a bag and I fill it with weights and heavy objects and I use it to work out while doing push-ups or dips or pull ups basically most calisthenic work outs

[LittleDogHD]

Man that soundtrack has a weird noise in it that makes my brain cry

[ujjwaltiwari]

Brother please make a diet plan for indians bro i am not seeing gains bcoz of my diet

[iii___iii]

Is the voice in this video AI? I ask because @0:38, the pronunciation of the word "tears (in the muscle fiber)" is pronounced "tears"as in from crying, rather than "tears" as in from ripping. AI speech programs haven't mastered homography. But good video, nonetheless.

[david_vara]

Thannk you for all your videos!
Could you explain how to build up for a Handstand or even a Handstand push-up, please?

[Whitedevil_]

Sir.. please make a video on beginner calisthenics routine...

[flashyFits]

Can’t wait to get into weighted calisthenics

[henryToped]

Very true even in rpg game u keep slashing enemies of same level won't do much in exp farming. U have to keep looking out for monsters of higher level ⚔️💪🏆

[Grandzeur]

Does it really grow on its own, even without proper nutritions? Or at least it has more difference before doing it?

[Grandzeur]

Help, my legs are not straight, I think I have "bone dysplasia" (my knees and foot doesn't face in front) does someone else have it?

[WhyMe-wr]

What if we simply increase the no of push

[sussybaka]

bro really said biceps activation for push-ups 😂

[TayOHNO]

this goes to any vegans, it’s okay we’re not big that wasn’t the goal anyway. some people wanna look like hulk, some people wanna look like spiderman. me? i’d rather be built like spidey. you can still get great gains based on your build i promise.

[AdamCostanzo]

Don't weighted vests limit your speed and agility and flexibility potentials though

[IShowSkills]

Do I have to increase the number of sets and reps too?
