I know I'm late but most of this moves doesn't require that core strength , indeed the core is still active in this moves but mostly it's about back, shoulders , arms
I've just decided to start on calisthenics. I've been working out for about 3 months now and the results are insane!!! I can't even fathom the feeling of being able to hold another person's bodyweight in a FUCKING FLAGPOLE poisiton!!! I'm going to train HARD!!!!
noh wone gym machines and most freeweight exercises only train the main movers but miss a lot of the secondary muscles that are good for actual functionality
Absolutely love this. Discovered callisthenics and bar workouts when I turned 40 - these guys have inspired and motivated countless people into the Park Life. Thanks and keep at it...
+AnAnrchaicSoul Hey it took me 4 months to do my first pull. So there's a benchmark you can't beat... I mean it doesn't matter how much long it takes. Once it's done, then it's history and you can take it from there.
dragon flags, hanging leg raises and standing rollouts. if you can do a couple of reps of all 3 exercises, your core can't get much stronger than it will be
Thank you for the request! I have a short leg section in one of my videos but I will be adding A LOT more in the future. Basically the sprints you're doing is great, but work on the explosive. If you're looking for explosive power for the legs, keep each exercise short and to the max. Meaning if you sprint, each stride has to be as powerful as possible. Include box jumps, long jumps, running jumps. When hopping, NEVER stick the landing. Instantly recoil at full power. I'll do a tutorial soon!
Absolutely epic. . What a sport. . I've been training calisthenics for about 2 months and am already making progress. It will take years to get to that level, but that is my goal and I am determined to get there. . My only slight concern is that I'm 35. . I wish I had discovered this 10 or 15 years ago. . No excuses though I will prove you can do this into your 40's and beyond!! :)
You're thinking in a calisthenics way ! I'm 24 and i've been doing streetworkout for 4 years. I'm not that good but i keep training every week, fromm one to Three time a week. Set you a goal and reach it !
Mucchi Kun yep it depends both of them are different bodybuilder are meant to lift heavy things while these are meant to make their body more free, strong and flexible
@Christina Reynolds I do street workout myself and I still agree with you. Too many people in the sport act high & mighty when comparing their training to other fields. It's really obnoxious. Not everyone likes the same things and more calisthenic athletes need to respect that.
Fazian Cloud stronger than bodybuilders but not stronger than powerlifters, in those powerlifting movements but calisthenics is real world strength. And in that area they're stronger
Hey Terance, Check out my channel theres a video of our first day of training! Try out some of the movements in there but the the most important part is to put in hard work!
Thank you, you saved my day. Looked through the comments just for this as I knew others would want to know and thus someone had given this little piece of precious information :) So thanks for saving the day!
These guys are very impressive... Strenght, agility, they do things that are unbelievable for me.I hope their muscles and strenght help also getting lots of pussies, otherwise we can say that it's only a time loss.
Yeah, FUCK doing things cause you love them and make you feel good about yourself. Everyone knows it's only worthwhile if gets you poon... What a sad sack. Hopefully you weren't serious.
This is called Calsthenics/Street Workout. It's includes moves from gymnastics , Freerun and Fitness but you can free choose what you wanna do and show. Gynamstics has strict rules here you can freestyle and show what you want.
Is it me or did Frank Medrano look like the only one doing something useful there? i see a lot of momentum and very, very skinny legs... i hope that one day calisthenics will focus more on overall strength, not just cool tricks and leg day skippers as it seems (and before you start hating, i do calisthenics for 2 years along with 6 years of running and especially sprinting experience... i know stuff)
+Daniël Klein Nibbelink It's only you. I see one arm pull ups, Frontlevers, Backlevers, Flags, Muscle Ups & Planches and only a little bit of bar hopping. What's with the guy @ 4:44 min? His one arm pull ups are really impressive. Or with Zef doing 32kg Muscle Ups or Niroc....There are so many strong people in this video.
I didnt say they arent strong... their movements are incredible, i know because i can't do that many one-arm pull ups lol... The thing is, i hoped to see more full-body movement that involves leg excersises, because it seems some of them have extremely skinny legs. By the way, your reply shows that you really take the time to speak with your viewers, which is extremely cool, thanks :)
Medrano also don't do any leg exercises in this video :) I am also not a huge fan of Bar hopping but the biggest part of this video is about strength moves. Yes you won't see any leg exercises here because it's not impressive to see pistol or archer squats, jumps etc. Some of the guys in the video do serious leg training some not.
Lol no but since he is pretty famous i have seen him doing some... The 'bar hopping' is what i meant, not really showing strength... The reason i posted my previous comment is because it is a common stereotype that these people aren't actually showing strength because of the lack of weight on their legs, but part of that is true... i just hope that one day we will find some fancy insane leg movements, lol... maybe box jumps? :P
As strong as they are... I cant be the only one that looked at this and thought they were mimes on a jungle gym. Some of them wearing a pretty gay looking sailor hat
AMAZING! It looks so unreal! I already struggle with three chin-ups, and with the fourth i feel my eyes are gonna pop out :P. They make everything look easy! Respect!
I agree. But because the movements are so difficult and many of the ideas are not even done in gymnastics competition, bad form only means they are working their way up to better form. So I still give them some credit because it's very hard to do it well. Like for example people who do muscle ups, most of them use their legs for help. Jerking the legs or kipping themselves up. The best of the best will do it without leg help.
It's nice that you guys seem to have a considerable amount of strength. On the other hand, most of the movements are performed with very bad form, especially the static holds, for ex. the handstand and lever variations. Most of them are performed with arched back and bent elbows, making the movements much easier en less appealing. To me, that is a sign of unbalanced strength development, since in this way you compensate for the lack of strength in a particular body area with strength in another.
Write it in the description if you don't want people asking. Not everybody searches through 150 comments just to see if somebody has named the song they want to find. Incredible vid though.
I know what you mean, but when you're doing calisthenics, you're training your body to basically carry its own weight. So the more you do calisthenics, the better your body becomes at controlling itself. Whereas with weights, your body adapts to using outside forces. And also, calisthenics focuses on the entire body's strength all together, whereas weight lifting usually focuses on an individual body part, and the weight of the body part increases too.
You need motivation every single day and determination for this.it will took about 4-6 years to master this but you need to train every single day. Even elite athletes can't do a single hand pull up.
This video, made me realize how I just don't want this bad enough... Time to stop bullshiting on the internet and time to make adjustments. I start today, not tomorrow, best of luck to everyone who wants to make a change better for their lives.
i much prefer this type of training to gym training. calisthenics is absolutely incredible for core strength and dropping bf%. Im at 8% now, and 8 kgs heavier than when i started. not to mention im now in love with mirrors which i know is vain but still it's awesome to see almost no fat.
