When I worked out mainly in my bedroom doing squats, pull-ups, push-ups and dips, I honestly felt the best I’ve ever felt in my life, I trained weights for awhile but nothing is like calisthenics. I just never bulked right, so I fell out of love with calisthenics.

W but Mental health guide cuz im in the brink of living just for the sake of living

[Haussawd]

Calithenics is not just bodyweight, if your master your bodyweight then try weighted pull-up and weight dips and don't worry learing the skills it will come later as easily

[ArmanKanonas]

The beauty of fitness is its not a 1 size fits all approach. I do both heavy lifting and calisthenics to get the best from both worlds, it works great for me. Also, sprinkling in some body building exercises at the end if need be to balance out any weak spots.

You're welcome 😎
Next month I'm officially doing one year of calisthenics

[mobel]

very rare to see something like this on the internet. Very real, relatable and honest!

[vibez]

Everytime i lifting its exhausting but if i do some Calisthenics sets its way more fatiguing and effective for me

[MINIPRO]

Instead of high reps, do slow and strict so it's more intense

[chansesarmstrong]

Tbh I hate high rep calisthenics. But I agree with you that it's effective. Weighted calisthenics is key for optimal size and strength imo. If you want to add statics that would work too. Recently hit full planche from only weighted Dips training (100kg+) so I'm psyched. Keep spreading the calisthenics gospel 🙏

[EvansMustang]

Calisthenics in my opinion is overall better then the gym plus you also save money from a gym membership. 💪

[TaroLoaf]

What I like about calisthenics is how versatile it is. You can take a pair of rings to your favorite park on your favorite tree and do your workout there

[sts]

Progressive overload always wins, be consistency good not casually great.

[AllFit]

The gym is great but with calisthenics workouts youll target your core and workout more muscles at once, for example the bench press is a chest work but only works out the chest in a little triceps, with push ups you get a fullbody workout, targeting more muscles at once.

saw the email definitely gonna give this a try

[musicandaffection]

When people say "It's easier for you because you weigh less". I'm just like ".... Get strong enough to use your body weight?"

[mg]

My warmups are always something to do with bodyweight. My pull day i will start off with pullups, My push day i will do pushup variations and dips, and on my leg day i start off with ab exercises such as leg raises and a few others.
For me it is great because it is not at all isolated, and i can feel most of my body get ready for my workouts.
The only draw back is people stare like crazy when you do bodyweight stuff in the gym, but that is not a problem when you get use to it.

[gabrielbarstyle]

youre gonna make it, i like that you thought into it, so youre more than halfway there! please continue with it!

[blackronin]

I train calisthenics 3 days a week and still break records, 300 arm circles, 5 min reverse plank and 250 standing crunches were my highest records so far in just 6 months but yes defiantly take your time and let yourself recover💪.
