My man just showed old videos of himself struggling. Massive respect bro

There's a name for this phenomenon:
LATENT POTENTIAL: the first few weeks to couple of months the body is awakening its baseline physical abilities, so there's rapid progress. Beyond that, one must "defy the base design margin" to go further, and that's a battle.

You know a level 5 player levels up faster than a level 50 That's just what happens.... You must stay motivated and move forward, no matter how hard and boring the path is. Once you reach your desired destination you will thank yourself for not giving up back then...

Stay motivated❤

In the long run the biggest gain is a healthy body and a healthy mind. Your positivity and hard work in all your videos is the proof.

This isn’t just true in calisthenics. It’s true across all workout types/sports in general. The better you get at it the harder it is to get any better

[senchou]

You showing your old videos is quite inspiring. It really helps with managing expectations and the reality of training. Keep up the good vids man!! These are the videos that keeps reminding us to keep going and pushing further 💪💪

The key is to be patient and stay consistent trying to progress and keeping your recovery good. Progress will be slow and there may be only tiny improvements session to session but you gotta be patient, trust the process, and celebrate the tiny wins 😃

Also remember that the beginner gains you get from the first few months calisthenics pretty much already make you a superhuman in the eyes of people who don't exercise much

This is so true! I felt depressed because i was doing so well and got stronger than all of a sudden it felt boring and i didnt feel sore or made any progress to my reps or sets. You have to challenge your body and surpass its comfort zone to feel the burn again. Increase more weight, more reps, try the next harder variation. It takes Weeks if not months to see body changes. Dont give up!!!

Thank you for showing the old clips mate! Really showcase the due diligence we need to put, and how important every step is, and how we need to put the plan for it🙏

Happens with most skills you learn in life, you're going to hit a ceiling and plateau. Some you just have to push through or find out what you don't know.

[undeniabletruth-HIT]

yes progress slows down as you get stronger, but there are always ways around plateaus, you just have to manipulate your variables and play the long-term game

[dandogamer]

progress is never a straight line. But also I think a lot of people make the mistake of doing the same thing that was working before and expecting more results from it. Your body adapts and demands more of a challenge in order to get better.

Really appreciate content like this, thank you for sharing your beginner phase video. It reminds us of 2 things: 1) we’re all human 2) with effort and repetition we can achieve anything. This is why you’re one of my favorite fitness pages, no bs. Thank you!

[eliasalizadeh]

this is true about any kind of training not just calisthenics.
body has a limit. it can be pushed only to some degree.

[goro]

Having started after age 50, I'm not sure I ever experienced a period of rapid progression. Lucky me!

[Nopynchon]

Those old vids are great, encouraging to think about it. Thanks.

[amarnathpadmanabhan]

Well said bro. This is really a harsh truth.

[빛과어둠-qs]

Thank you for always being honest on your fitness journey, as well as sharing your wisdom!
I think the same applies to every other disciplines, whether it's dancing, swimming, studying, playing an instrument, ... We progress pretty fast at the Beginner phase. However, things change when you reach the Intermediate phase, this is where most people give up. You realize that the intensity of the training/learning alone is not enough, it requires discipline, proper rest, consistency and most importantly: patience, just to see a little progress. I call this the Infinite Intermediate Plateau.
Once you have overcome that, you reach the Advanced phase. This is where you can truly start to call yourself as "Good" at your practice. And even then, there are still so much more to learn, and you still find yourself going back to the Basic Foundations from time to time.
No matter where you are right now in your journey, be Patient and Compassionate to yourself ❤
