CrossFitter v Calisthenics Athlete

I had the pleasure of spending a few days with my now good friend and fellow Gymshark athlete, Taylor! She’s a superstar calisthenics athlete that can do all of the coolest tricks. She taught me some of hers and I taught her a couple of ours!

Gotta love instant synergy!

We’re definitely linking back up in the future. What other movements would you want to see us try / teach?

I love this. There’s always so much unnecessary trash talk. We’re all athletes. We should be supporting each other.

Love videos like this. Collaboration between fitness styles is a must in my opinion.

[gonzalogayoso]

Such great energy and vibe. Noah you are quite an athlete and person at the same time.

This was such a fun video to watch. Good stuff Noah. I remember like yesterday getting my first BMU. Told the people I was with there's no way ill get it. Hopped up, did it and was like "holy crap! how'd I do that??" Ive never been able to do ring muscle ups though.

Love seeing different disciplines in one video! It’s amazing what you athletes can do 🤯

Two thumbs up - if I weren't already in love with functional fitness, this video would do the trick! Great tutorial elements too! THANK you both!! 🤗

you mean crossfit does things as quickly and as sloppy as possible??? calisthenics focuses on form quality over quantity. sloppiness is not in our vocabulary. plus we're not trying to turn every exercise into a competition... i do notice the abuse of the word efficiency, it's not more efficiecnt, it's just a much lower standard across the board to do more reps or to do it faster. in the short them you can do more reps, but in the long term you will not be able to develop the strength to do more advanced techniques and skills. also, because of the high volume, high intensity, you will develop assymmetries and injuries. it's also harder to be consistent because the standard is so loose, you guys focus too much on reps and not on form so there's no real progress. because of the high level of fatique it becomes very difficult to stay consistent over the long run and not good for longevity and growth.

Practicing CrossFit for almost a decade but the more I watch Taylor the more I’m thinking I might have picked up the wrong activity …

[kaligrownbudz]

Be honest, we all can agree CrossFit is super intense but all the kipping they do just looks stupid. It’s bad form and looks ridiculous.

Loved it! I love Noah’s attitude so much!

[Epiccuber]

really liked how Noah explained the different pull ups in crossfit, only because as a crosfitter myself I hear a lot of trash upon them saying that they arent real pull ups, but all of these movements have standards like he said. thanks for being a great face in the CrossFit Community, Noah! We are all athletes!

Love this vid!! Please do a 2nd part with a training calistenic sesion and crossfit wod

[mvschooten]

Awesome, very insightful and great to see how quick you two pickup the different techniques

[mikeemilybygrave]

Luv the blended exposure of Cali n XFit athletes. The visual "Venn diagram" of fitness capacities. 💪🤸‍♀🏋‍♀

[andresamell]

now we need to get Noah with Nathan McCallum and do some ninja warrior circuit!

[outdoors]

Totally appreciated the non-biased and relaxed view of both approaches.

The honey on your hands has some origins in gymnastics for the parallette bar routines and practice.

[tarbybahbell]

You can't denied a professional crossfitter can do lot of sport stuff, you can have fun with gymnastic friend, with oly lifting mate, bodybuilder, runner, swimmer and etc. Although not very professional in each category but you can see noah is close to it!!

calisthenics pull ups are so much better
