The TRUTH About Aesthetics

In this video, I explain what you can reasonably expect to achieve using basic calisthenics, provided you work consistently, intelligently, and support your training with good nutrition and proper recovery. An FFMI of 20-22 at a body fat of 10-15% is attainable by probably 80% of the population. Some people with great genetics and large bone structure will exceed that level with basic calisthenics. For most people looking to maximize their potential for muscle mass, body building is going to be the most effective method. For everyone else looking for a tradeoff between health, general fitness, accessibility, injury risk, etc, basic calisthenics can allow you to achieve a solid athletic physique.

Because of your I switched my mindset from "quantity" to "quality" in every rep. It made a tremendous different in my training and results. Thank you very much! ❤️

[aferretnamedsophie]

Your channel is like a hidden jem, honestly. Learned alot, and your physic is to die for. Keep up the good work!

[atlasstrengthandpower]

You taught me that the quality of a rep is paramount. As well as "eat real food." These two pillars are the basis of my training program.

Since finding this channel I’ve made serious improvements in my physique just by leveraging basic calisthenics with good form, walking, and a weekly caloric deficit. Your principles for fitness are easy to follow and, most importantly, they are sustainable for the long term because they are low cost and minimize injury. Thanks for the great content!

“The ability to train outside in the sunshine” - as an Englishman, this made me smile!

Thanks Kyle, keep up the great work. Ps would love to see something about rounded shoulders + forward neck posture one day.

I am 72 years old and thought the days of adding a little lean muscle were gone. Since I have been following you I have added a little lean mass and lost some body fat. Slow but sure. Thanks you….mad respect!

I love the physique that calisthenics (and training under your guidance) is giving me: I'm looking big but not too bulky, which I've never liked as I'm on the shorter side. Great video as always.

Hi Kyle. Just want to say that your providing tremendous value. I’ve been training Calisthenics on and off for the past 12 years with average form, always pushing to failure. You’ve completely changed the way I now approach my training. Quality over Quantity is the key in every aspect. It’s been a true paradigm shift. If only I found you sooner. Thank you 👍

So much incredible content on this channel. The simplicity of videos, the quality of info, the conciseness of the communication. I thought I had read and learned everything there was about fitness, bought a bunch of weights and trained heavy in my home gym, injured myself from ego lifting, and found that although other ways may work for others depending on their goals, my personal goal of minimizing injury while building a physique like this, having less equipment, this all just spoke to me so much. I’ve seen others teach calisthenics on YouTube but this channel feels so authentic and straightforward with no flashy “look at me” clickbaity vibes. Got the notification bell 🔔 on now and have watched every video and at this point it’s just being interested in seeing you pop up in a new video rather than feeling like I’m needing anything more. Wishing you all the success in the world k boges !!!

One of the most honest dudes in the fitness industry. Thanks Mr. B

Thank you for including your own fat free mass index for a baseline!!! All of the info was great, including what is suspicious and what is achievable for the general population.

Trained today in the park with rings, the spot was amazing, had a great walk to it. It did not feel like a workout but more like I was just chillin. Some rows dips and walking lunges + training handstands. So much beter than a gym.

[JoeCool]

Good video, simple, straightforward, and factual. It's very much like a coach answering someone's question(s) face to face at the gym. You are teaching, not selling, which everyone on here finds really refreshing!

[markwolfston]

I know I’m late, but it’s still worth it to say thank you. Thank you for your accurate, simple to digest information. I changed my approach to training because of you, my push ups are not as high in a number, but they surely hurt much more!
Thanks man!

[josephsmth]

I have seen how the channel has been growing with serious tips and realistic analysis thanks for being on YouTube.

[thomaslewis]

Hey kboges! I'm 3 months into doing calisthenics after finding your channel and loving your methodology and attitude. I've half heatedly tried stuff over the years but your ideas of quality over quantity and making it a lifestyle really help put my mind where it needs to go. Training 5 days on 2 days off with push ups/pull ups/squats/sit ups and I feel good and I can see my body changing and I feel stronger and healthier. Much love, and keep posting! I don't plan on stopping this routine for quite a long time now.

[chrisnguyen]

Hey mate just wanted to say your content and training principles have really resonated with me. I've been training for a while now starting with typical commercial gyms then into calisthenics following other youtubers. But lately since I discovered your channel I've been adopting a much more simple and consistent approach to my training and it feels awesome (less is more!!). It really feels like you're giving honest advice and just trying your best to help others along with their fitness journey. Much appreciated my guy!!
