I think this is amazing to see! I am 43, female and after multiple rounds with cancer in the last few years (with all that entails) and generally not being consistent with health and exercise (work, family, study, surgeries) this year I decided to start calisthenics. Ok, so it’s only been like two weeks because of the caveat to finish my degree first (last submission was 4 weeks ago), but I am so excited. Having just found your videos, it’s great to see that calisthenics is not just for the kids!! So thanks, I look forward to going through your back catalogue and putting together some sort of cohesive plan for myself!!
i've been following most of your tips. i turn 70 next month and have been training calisthenics for about 4 years, but much of the first few years was mostly burpees and other endurance exercises. i have learned alot from your channel. you are a great coach, have great skills, presentation abilities, and are a real treasure for those of us learning to do skills and have fun with our training.
I'm 41 abd I'm going have to start I'm turning 42 july 15 I have weak core but I van bench 100 kilos and I weigh 165 Im.goimg start with basics I can kick over my head almost do a upside down pushup
Happy Birthday! I turn 48 this week too. Though I've only been dabbling with calisthenics for 6 months and only been taking it more seriously for about 6 weeks: training 3 times a week with my current concentration being handstand progression. This coming off of 18 months of Stronglifts5x5 which was a good base after neglecting training of any sort for 20+ years. Thanks for the useful breakdown. 👍
i think it is important to mention that it is better to relate the absolute weights to body weight. i guess i could push out 100kg bench press but since i weigh 120 kg my push up performance is still way worse. same with pretty much verything else too. i am still not skilled/strong enough to experience myself but i expect this to be even more dramatic when it comes to height ;-)
Every body is different, and with that the possibilities. It’s all physics. I am over 2m (6.6) so I can forget about planches. Weight, length, body proportion, everybody has its own challenges.
Hi brother,your video was amazing!Ia have just onw question tho:when Im in a handstand,my pelvis is twisted a little bit to the right and I lean more to my left side.What do you recomend for this?Thank you for your time!
Create more space both with mobility and control. It means you are currently handstanding at your 1 rep max meaning your imbalances are showing. Same if you do 1 rep squat you will see where your body struggles. As your handstand and mobility increases the imbalances will visually reduce or disappear.
Ok, Please can you recommend which would be the core moves to start with. Im 41 and train weights and running 4-5 per week but would like a new challenge. Thanks.
nice video, indeed handstand training needs to be viewed holistically, im about 1 year in now and i recognize that the 4 elements you identified are all equally important, fortunately the nerd element is helped by watching your videos
My main goal is to master my bodyweight like u and do different skills ...but I'm not sure how to split my routine for strength training...and mobilty/flexibility ....and i want to know how much time it will take me to achieve full hamstring flexibility and hip mobilty... I'm now 16
Keep it simple. Train Bent Arm Strength Day 1, Straight Arm Strength Day 2 and Legs Day 3. Handstand Balance and Flexibility 3-4 x per week. Enjoy the journey, give it time and learn from lots of people
@@PaulTwyman do you even need it for calisthenics? I guess it would be good for more shoulder mobility? Finding a way to make it fun could help, like doing wheel press ups or trying this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--_G2F1DCUZI.htmlsi=XC9JXq97slMxPT2m - it's a different movement but might be a good way to unlock more shoulder mobility
I think my other comment was deleted because it had a link in it. Was talking about shoulder mobility, making it fun by doing wheel press ups and the yoga backwards somersault
