How I Built Muscle With Both 

I really like seeing you revealing more and more of your humorous side while still giving awesome advice 💪

Hybrid for the win! Keep up the great content mate. Speaking and physical skills on point 💪

When you blow up and become a big youtube please keep the no-nonsense and straight to the point style! It's great to see someone introduce a concept and go straight to explaining it with solid examples and without any fluff. Great video as always!

Hey dude, I just wanted to thank you for sharing all of this valuable and honest information. You've really motivated me to get back into the gym and start hitting my goals. I just weighed myself and I'm at 175lbs and aiming to hit 200lbs by the end of this year.

"It might not be perfect but you're gonna see progress and feel good" love that attitude man. People try to min max life too much these days lol.

You have become one of my top favorite fitness channels! Can’t wait to see your growth it’s inspiring

I started hitting the gym seriously and watching my diet 2 months ago and you encouraged me to do dips and pull ups as someone whose arm strength has always been zero. I currently do both with weight assisted machines but I can't describe how proud I feel as I went from using a 70lb weight for pull ups to 55 in about 2 weeks (the lighter the weight you rest your kneecaps on is, and the harder it gets) One day I won't need any weight to rest my knees on! And my arms have definitely losen fat, you can now see the tiny biceps growing lol.

This is brillant! I have actually been doing a kind of hybrid routine for a while, although I think the calisthetics side has become kind of neglected, and I mainly just do pull ups and push up variations. But you have so many different ideas, and I never thought about exercises which aren't needed. Very efficient!

Sheeeesh, love this. I've been doing a 3 day split because I'm low on time as a parent and a doctoral student, but I've found weight training to be vital for hypertrophy. I try to incorporate some more traditional weightlifting movements with weight where calisthenics can be deficient (curls and rows etc.). I do a lot less legs, but I take my variable dumbbells as heavy as they go and do split squats and one legged dead lifts. Glad to see a tall king doing calisthenics, I'm 6'2" and sometimes get discouraged with how hard the progression with planche, l-sit, and front lever can seem sometimes, but your channel as encouraged me keep at it💪

Can't wait to try this been wanting to find a good hybrid workout for a while. Thank you

Thanks for sharing your workout plan. Very interesting!

Really great video, and perfect timing too because I was just about to change up my programing. I always find your videos super helpful. Love the shade thrown at lat pull downs, and I like how you used your pull up bar as a step for calf raises, very creative. Solid advice all around.

Colin, first thank you. Your body is the proof. Your body portions is what I am going to have. I needed this kinda of help.

now this, is literally exactly what i was looking for!!!!! been wanting to go hybrid for a while now and the man just broke it down to the TTTTT, thanks for the video man helped so much.

Appreciate you man, I’ve been looking for something like this

Great quick style. lots of great info. well written.

thank you so so so much. I really want to do both but couldn't find anything that shows me how to mix them. I really appreciate it

Although I play sports, I began training like a bodybuilder and I lost a lot of my athleticism and mobility, I've been trying to program a calisthenics/athletic weightlifting workout schedule, and I've stumbled upon this greatness. Thank you.

You have such a calming voice) Thanks man, I will make my training program using your advices also!

Love it all! Thanks for sharing with the tribe brother. There is a more efficient way to build a functional body! The future is so bright, best wishes.

Great plan. Awesome content 👏

Hey, Colin. Great video. I like your sense of humor, it's nice seeing more of it in the videos. Keep it up man

Thank you bro, this is really helpful

Thank you so much bro for this type of content, that really help us ❤ 🙏

i learned alot from this. Thnks Gorgeous Toby

This is super helpful thank you

great video, i've been doing this approach for the past couple of months (slightly different split) and i've noticed perhaps the biggest change in my physique since i started training 2.5 years ago. highly recommend to anyone looking to challenge themselves.

Colin .. your videos are the best tutorials on calisthenics ever I have seen.. in addition to all the amazing information.. you put in all the shots of your performing these exercise..then combine it with an awesome commentary, and show what is better and what does not help.. also love the ant work advice :) What I like best are the pics about the ordinary moments of your day.. sleeping., eating.. even doing front levers at work.. and all the bro-talk you do.. you have the best rapport on RU-vid in my opinion.. all of this you do is a great way to relate to your viewers.. and you do it in such a kind and encouraging way guys really want to try.. because you show them it can be done.. and give them confidence they can achieve progress through consistency.. just like you do in these beautiful videos... And that incredible box jumping! You really fly my friend.. you have such an aesthetic body that watching you is a symphony in motion., so beautiful to see.. My favorite part was lifting those 10 pounders out in the snow! That takes dedication.. so beautiful to see! Thanks for these! Btw.. so glad to see you finally got a toaster 🤗 Great video Colin.. hope your day is as awesome and beautiful as you are! Jen999💙

Yes great point, I've been combining my weight training with calisthenics and I'm starting to see and feel results

i've litterally searched this type of video for years, and i finally found it. Thank you

Thanks for the routine i will follow it

This awesome. It is exactly what I was looking for. I am still in early days so have a set of dumbells, and can only do inverted rows, but I do want to get good calasthenics and build up my arms and chest. So thanks so much for this!

Really like your energy and your tips man i wanted to start calisthenics for a while cuz i don’t feel like the improvement feeling of when i started workout so it will be very helpfuk thx a lot

hey, Colin! thank you so much for your channel. it’s a great resource for inspiration for me. i’m gradually improving my calisthenics skills even though i wasn’t able to do a single pull up

I absolutely love your type of videos, i just saw you today, as im a beginner in calisthenics. PLEASE KEEP POSTING!

Great content!

Love your tutorials bro!

great, succint info! thanks!

Thank you for the advice

you are amazing! i hope to be like you in 1 or 2 years

I know it's the not main focus of this channel but you have a really soothing voice. Would definitely enjoy more video of you just explaining stuff :D

great video as always, colin ! i'm going to gradually add calisthenics into my routine 💪also my long sleeve tee came in the mail, i love it ! going to order the t-shirt variant now 😎

Looking great! 😁

Really love this style of video. Started watching your other stuff. It's great to see positive exercise videos that remove all of the complicated aspects and make it simple for beginners. Reminds us that lifting is about getting active and having fun. Keep up the great work!

DUDE IM ON THAT SAME WAVE!!!! I STARTED 3 weeks ago and the pumps have been NASTYYYYY. love your content bro, easy sub

this guy helped me with just 4 videos more than any other channel combined

Hey man, I just wanted to say I really love your videos and i find them really helpful. In one of your other videos, u showed a picture of you in freshman year of college and I noticed we have very similar hair right now(fade and thick curls on top), but I want my hair to be like your current hair (curly yet short and no so thick and voluminous). Could you please post a video in which you talk about your hair journey and how you style it right now?

Burning ants, huh. That fits a personality profile! I like this video about hybrid training. I grew up in gymnastics and used some weights for some workouts (holding a dumbbell for vault sit ups and ankle weights for hanging leg raises). After I got beat up and wanted more lower body muscle I went to the gym for heavy weights--dead lifts, squats, glutes, etc. I also got into heavy weighted abs exercising to force a lot of hypertrophy. After I left gymnastics I got into a mix of weight lifting and bar workouts. I still do some floor routines when the surface is right. I think your tutorials are quite good. And I just subscribed.

Been weight training for roughly 9 months. I have started doing hybrid a couple months ago because I realized that true strength is being able to master and control your own body weight. My ultimate goal is to be able to full planche 💪🏻

Bro, your channel was literally a small one when i fisrt saw your videos a few months ago. But now u'r rocking it bro, love ur videos. Keep it up bro. 💯💯

more vids on eating, nutrition, what to eat on a cut, etc etc. please!

Holy shit. A balanced workout regimen? That's absolutely revolutionary!

I don’t know how I found you but so glad that I did! Thanks for the informative videos 💪🏾💪🏾

Finally confident enough to go to the gym cuz of u bro thanks again💪 And Imma use this routine

Colin you should create a hybrid workout plan!!

That last bit got me, I work at a bar and am always looking for place to do L sits on

This dude rocks

Bros majestic

This was helpful bro ..I recently started weight training

Nice video and content! For me I would rather start with calisthenics movements and then move to weights on the same session (Pull, Push or legs) thanks for your effort 🎉❤

I do a fully body workout with weights and callisthenics usually 5 days a week and I’ve seen great progress so far, callisthenics and weights is great!!!!!

This hybrid training is the most ideal but the best is all of this and some kind of martial arts thrown in.

I started training pull ups for 2 weeks after discovering your channel. I did my first pull up thanks to you

man thank you so much, i tried a lot rock clibing powerlifting and calaistenics, your workout combines them really good. thank, im gpnna add some finger training in there. im gonna answer that comment in a month and tell about how it went. thank you again

You have great gestures man

the girlies appreciate the booty shots tysm colin 🥰🥰

man, you are really good fitness bloger and i advise you to create playlist with all exercises and tips, it will be very helpful for beginners

You are doing great work - thank you so much for all the videos you are putting out! One question re: hypertrophy - shouldn't we be aiming to go for high reps across all the exercises? e.g. Squats and Pull ups ?

Back exercises with dumbells please i love you man

Your videos are most excellent sir. I'm enjoying the understated humour and no nonsense explanations.

Nice insight - Could you put together something around L-sit and focus on getting your legs straight (seems to be a problem for me)

Starting on my Hybrid workout this week.. Bodybuilding style 3 times a week switching to 2 days and 2 days of Mobility work & Calestinics with 1 day if walking.

finally someone that combines both

Wow I was just looking for this! I thought just doing calisthenics wasn't working (I'm a beginner and don't really go to the gym outside of my school gym) so I started just putting some things from the gym in but I didn't have a plan I just did stuff so thanks.

This is great I’m definitely going to use this but how should you know when to increase weight resistance and how much by ?

Hey bro, your videos have inspired me to get back into shape, what a coincidence it's January lol. I will follow this routine, I wondered if you think running 2km on the rest days would kill me? I also want to do some cardio for health reasons

Skin routine please my man!! 😊

Could u do a video talking about stretching after exercise? Specially chest and back since I struggle to find good movements for stretching those muscles

I have been watching you from your very first video, and I adore your work and the progress that only comes to those that are sincere about producing material and are totally invested in doing so. edit: keep up the work!!

Quick question, could you maybe make a video about what kind of food you should eat to make progress? I want to start paying more attention to what I eat but I just don’t know what’s best for me😕

It's good to do skill work(front lever progressions, back lever progressions, planche progressions, etc) before strength work during your workout.

Awesome insights ✨ Thank you. Your camera angle makes you look 10’ tall! 😂

Idk if this is a bug or something but the last part of the video (9:40) is completely gone for me. It only show till 9:30

Awesome

Great video! When would be the best time to sneak in some flexibility exercises?

Definitely the best way to do it. I do a push pull full 3 times a week. That way im hitting everything twice a week but still getting plenty of revovery. I do inculde quads in push day and hams/glutes into pull day though.

Solid.

awesome info, thanks is it possible to start at home for both? i find some of the wt training easier in the gym

Can you make a video on a home workout routine to get a nice physique like yours? I got two 25lb dumbbells… thats all i got😟 . love your content btw i’ve learned a lot 🙏

thanks

Great video, if you don't mind me asking, what shoes do you generally use for your workouts?

Maybe actually ahead of it 💪💪🥵

I used this videos' routines as a reference it looked really good, are you planning on making a new one? Since you cut them off from this video. Also is there a way I can still access them

I also do a hybrid program in the same style as yours, a coach has programmed it for me, I think it is essential to have the pistol squat in the program because it is an important excercices to master before others for the legs.

I love the B roll for the rest day hahaha

thank you so much im searching for two days now how i can combine gym weights and calesthenics and your videoo helped me so much

every time im working out im thinking of colin 😭

Looking awesome, also how tall are you pal?

yes.
