'I could probably do that' - famous last words

I get a lot of questions asking how to train for specific skills and sports.

While I love these discussions, I recommend beginners start with a full-body strength and conditioning program.

This seems to apply extra to calisthenics on social media, which makes it seem like everyone and their cat can do a one-finger planche.

I'd classify some of these (very impressive!) calisthenics feats as "skills" and put that in a slightly different category from things like, say, weighted dips and pull-ups. One expresses strength and the other trains it (with some crossover).

The upshot from this is to make sure your body is prepared for the skills you want to train before you dive into specific skills! For example, it doesn't make much sense to train for a planche before you're decent at regular push-ups. Or work on iron cross progressions before you can do pull-ups. You'll almost certainly make more progress building up your full-body conditioning first!

(No, I didn't actually try the thing with the pool. Maybe some day. I'd like my props to stay props.)

You should be in charge of Physical education for the country. Imagine young students getting proper education when it’s most important.

OH MAN! YOU scared me!!!! I thought no!!!! I have a problem since back surgery my legs are very tingly and my muscles aren’t that strong! Yikes! I’m used to skiing and running! I also had knee surgery and after a bunch of surgeries it doesn’t go back all the way. So squats Al the way down are out. This is killing me! Not to tell you how many times I fall. I’m trying to make a routine from your videos for strength! I’m actually very active. Just road blocks. Thanks for all your videos!!!Reading your comments I think you have helped a ton of us!!

I fully believe Hampton actually CAN do that. He's just being modest.
