OFFICIALTHENX Hey Chris. Great video. i think a good video that would give alot of value to beginners or anyone in general is talking about the "finding time" excuse. Talking about how great calisthenics is for busy people or people who want to work out at home and talk how the THENX app makes it easy and mobile. no gym required. And im sure with your expertise the list of benifits that would apply to a video like this would be plenty to fill a video Thanks for all the great videos!
He has no struggle on those pull ups. No shake. No facial stress. Looks weightless. Like a feather. Damn near majestic. So smooth. Thats what i want. It must be earned. I will earn it Edit: Post 2 yr update. 4 sets of 10 different grip each one. Started at 5 reps 4 sets 210lbs body weight, 180lbs now with the 4 sets of 10. No idea if thats a good amount. They are tough at the end though.
I remember when I watched this exactly one year ago when I couldn't do a pull up and one single chin up made my biceps on fire. Now I am already doing reps of clean muscle ups
@hamza as for being able to do clean pull ups, yes. By following this video it also set me up for the muscle up earlier, because I already knew how to pull to my waist
is it me or does chris inspire you to workout even when you cant be bothered, somehow im struggling to do a pullup but still trying all because of this guy! thankyou
When you show the beginner options you really demonstrate the steps so well! It's impressive that you're so advanced yet able to demonstarte the very bottom basics to understand. Super awesome.
I wish they had calisthenics parks in my city...now for real my heart is broken cause the only thing I can do is pull ups in my house with shit equipment and handstand in my house
Starting this. I’ve lost 100 pounds and I can finally do an awful technique cheat pull-up. Lol. It’s a start. I’m starting this progression. Thanks for everything. You’re such a strong dude. It’s crazy.
Same here bro...all my life smoking marijuana and eating lead to losing all my physical strenght. Last year i came acorss his channel and have lost 15 pounds started doing 2 pull ups and 5-8 with bands. Thanks a lot bro. You motivated me to leave that life behind. All thanks to you.
Don`t stop making videos! Sometimes the truth hurts people`s ego, and they have to express their angry somehow like giving dislikes, saying bad things to you, trying to humiliate you ... that`s sad. Keep up the good work!
@@renatostojanovski8841 I'm a crossfitter, genuinely like this video. Then again, I also promote good movement and RoM over doing an extra rep during timed workouts so... ;-)
I had this feeling from the start. I'm not working for shit like hypertrophy or just getting big I wanna get stronger..that strength. This video, and I just found the guy to follow.
I tried some regular ones today, my fat ass almost dislocated my shoulders and broke my arms, I also got blisters. Time to do some Australian ones first
So I have been going to the gym for about a year & a half trying to tone back up and build muscle. Always have been athletic but after having kids, I really let myself go. I tried P90X, dabbled a little bit in CrossFit, and tried a few other exercise regimes. I felt consistently inconsistent in anything that I did. I ran across your channel and started watching some of your videos. I downloaded your app and started doing the workouts everyday. I still struggle with the beginner level, even now, (going on 3 months) but I'm seeing a huge transformation (for me). I went from 0 pull-Ups, to 6 unassisted. The app gives me a lot of direction and I don't feel lost in the gym. I really appreciate you and your team, and thanks for being humble and wanting to see people succeed.
Having kids should not be an excuse not to exercise and just let yourself go. It should be motivation to carry on so that your kids will learn from you
Man.. I tried this low bar pull ups to improve my technique, and I cant move for the second day now :D muscles are activated much more in this way, Great job THENX!
John Walters He forgot the biggest way to do pullups. And it is a very key method to not only get you good at pullups but also back strength and muscle control. Scapula hang pulls. The key is from a dead hang you only pull till your scapula contracts, pretty much it's about a 1/8th of a pullup. However, this builds a mind muscle connection to the muscles that teach you how to trigger the muscle control needed to do a full pullup. And, as a bonus, it strengthens the auxiliary muscles that add to strength and size.
I found Chris Heria last week and what an Inspiration. In one week I went from training a couple times a month to a couple times a day. It's July 17. 2019. Shout out from Stockholm. Sweden
It's amazing I found peace and a steady mind after I subscribed to this channel all the workout got my mind off losing my son. I live all the way in west Africa am here to say I have a big fan guys
Im 90kg and 5’7 , 2 months ago I cannot even do 1 pull-up, I started watching This video and start doing the Australia pull-up for 3 weeks, after that i do jumping pull-ups , then jumping negative , then i use rubber bands to make a clean and perfect pull-up. And today i manage to do 5 pull-up (at my chest level ) The first time i do a perfect pull-up, i remember 2 months ago that i was struggling to lift my body up... After that tears of joy just hits me man.... Very thankful to Mr.Chris Heria for giving a free lessons... God Bless you man 🙏🏻
Just wondering - why some many ppl dislike this movie? Is there something wrong with technique? For me looks legit and I have a lot of respect for the effort.
I have straighten my diet and joined thenx 4 weeks ago pull ups off the chart from normal and lost 2 almost 3 belt sizes, I love these workouts and the energy in the video's and just love all round. Big thumbs up from australia mate.... baby steps for me but each day is a SEEN step forward love it
This is hands down the most careful, kind and motivating explanation I have ever seen. No show, no cheap tricks, no animation crap, just a real trainer.
Wow. Just tried holding my scapula back and I just did some high pull ups using my scapula. I've never been able to go this high before. Awesome for this 65 year old.
I love how Chris does the whole thing to teach us what to do not like others who only tell us what to do and what will happen. Love you man truly an inspiration for me keep shining
Just want to say, thanks a bunch for all your help! After 2 months of lifting and calisthenics i finally got mt first deadhang pull up yesterday! i was extremely happy and thankful for chris because he taught me a bunch of things. Keep doing your thing chris, youre a huge inspiration!
It took me 3 months to move from being able to do no dips, and not being able to lift myself even 5 centimeters when doing a pull up, I can now do 3x3 pull ups and 10x3 dips, all with full range of motion. Most of my fat has dissapeared and has been replaced by muscle. I feel much better in general. Thanks for focussing on technique so much. Progress is slow, but very steady. It's much better progress than I've ever obtained from the gym. Thanks man
One of the best calisthenics channel ever and chris explained so well. Since I have started gym i was always ignoring pull ups but after this video no more ignorance..love from India chris 👍
Watching your videos I found my own motivation to get started again after a decade of a break. Now I really want to see myself progress and get into shape like I've never been. So whenever I see you handing out great advice like this, I find myself burning with resolve to see things through for myself. The best part about this is that I know exactly how to proceed, so I can leave my insecurity behind and I'm finally out of excuses not to work hard towards my goal. You have my thanks :D
I’m a poolee in the delayed entry program for the marine corps, we have to be able to do at a bare minimum of 3 full perfect pull-ups before we can even get shipped to bootcamp. Using this I started barely able to do 1-1/2 ish pull-ups. Now I can do 8 perfect form pull-ups after 3 ish weeks
Been following the calisthenics program for a month now and I can’t believe how much of a difference it’s made to my physical and mental self esteem. Props to Heria for his substantial knowledge in technique, because it has drastically payed off. Thanks so much bro ❤️
thank u a lot Chris my body is totally changed I'm 16 I can do your cardio fat burning abs an muscular workout i've downloaded each video soon i'll start leg day workout I'm learning pistol squats...even I'm eating food listed by you an Gabo..thank u☺ even my dad do workout with me
the scapula trick also helped me develop new stabilization shoulder muscles after separating my AC joint pretty bad requiring surgery. It takes tension off of the edge of the pec for me
I'm a 21 year old girl and I set foot in a fitness studio for the first time in my life 4 months ago. I'm awfully weak, but I managed to do a "half-ass pull up" two days ago. Another girl told me to use one of those elastic bands around my leg (the leg would be totally bent), and I only managed to pull myself up where my elbows are in a 90 degree angle. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is to me. I never believed that was physically possible to do "something that even looked like a pull up" for someone like me in my lifetime, but after watching your videoes for some hours my motivation just exploded like boom (like your pull ups 🤣) Now, after knowing what I'm SUPPOSED to do, I WILL do a "real" pull up. Sometime. Hopefully within a year
Thanks for all your tips and advice. I have been trying to do pull ups for years now. Never succeeded. And now I discovered you. I have started two weeks ago with your beginners videos and I am determined to keep doing this until I master this as you do. Best part of it: I am taking my two teenage Kids, boy 15 and girl 17 along. They love it. We are addicted now. We started the Morning routine, the pull ups and the right push ups. Thank you so much. You are being heard by us. Closely.
Today, 10/31/2019 is the first time i discovery calisthenics and i need a betther life so tomorrow, 11/01/2019 i will start with this training calisthenics. Thanks for the video i will do my best, a hug from brazil
Wow thank you. I was always afraid of doing pull ups and heavy weights because I don't wanna bulk up (Iam girl) but I wanna increase my strength and Iam tiny so I think it doesnt matter anymore. I decided I will start to do pull ups and I will master them till the end of 2017. Yesterday I did few pull ups with resistance band but I had bad teqnique - now I know how to progress it - thank to you. Also I finally can do a handstand thank to your video...it was really helpful :) Keep it up
The world's gyms are filled with guys who aren't able to "bulk up"-yet they produce testosterone-so females have to let this "bulk up" nonsense go. Not in your case Tereza, but for most females it's their justification for not working out. So go for it. You won't regret it.
Tereza Rašovská I am also a female and have been training with weights for around 3 years and it's really hard for girls to get 'bulky' unless they're actually training for competition and such. I'm still somewhat small but just more defined and toned. I think it depends on your genetics too.
Do you call it the Australia pull-up because it's down-under? We call them incline pull-ups here, I guess Chinese people don't call their dinner "Chinese food" tho.
Alan Chau that sounds like activating scapula. pull your shoulder blades together, and imagine you are tucking them down into imaginary pockets on your back.
Hey Chris. Amazing video once again. Just noticed a couple of things on your website that can be improved to help optimize your sales. I was looking into buying some resistance bands and I wanted to get them from you to help support your channel. However it is not very intuitive on your site. There is no information regarding which bands provide more resistance and which would be best for beginners except for the actual size of them. Also the pictures for the bands could be improved I noticed your other products have great high quality pictures but the bands are just there. Just some ideas to help you out. Wish you the best -Chris.
Great video. We put a blowflex, weights, and some other equipment at work recently(Chemical Plant). The pull-up bar we installed was the bane of our existence for quite a while. Got our whole plant pull-ups now! We got some big sumbitches at our plant too! It's a sight to behold, homie. We've all turned to calisthenics. We're signing up for your program.
I am a beginner calisthenics athlete and I began my journey around 5 months ago. I have mastered basic calisthenic moves like push ups, squats and dips but I still cannot do a single pull up. I have watched a lot of videos and read a lot of articles but you sir are a genius! I am definitely going to try this out. Hoping it helps me to master my pull ups. Thank you so much.
