It was a good conversation, thanks again for inviting me, Daniel!

Im so glad Adam is getting recognition!! His channel is such a hidden gem!!

Dude I just found his channel a month ago and it’s amazing!! So underrated. So glad this podcast happened

Minden tiszteletem Ádámé. Sokat tett le az asztalra és emelett egy végtelenül szerény ember aki két lábbal (vagy kézen) áll a talajon (vagy rúdon, gyűrűn).

Literally a dream podcast. A gymnast with a calisthenics expert, both humble personalities. Programmed to be good.

I’ve learned so much watching Adam’s videos over the past 4 months, I took the plunge and joined his Gymnastics Method program. Starting with prehab.

I've been doing Gymnastic Bodies for like a year and half now, and I'm convinced it's the ultimate form of conditioning. My body looks amazing now...sure, I might be bigger if I did bodybuilding or powerlifting instead, but I'm big enough for me, I like this kind of physique, and more importantly, I love having such total body control and mobility. And what is especially important, I realize as I'm now 40, is that it's a gradual disciplined approach that builds you up over time, strengthening and protecting your joints and connective tissues.

Great chat colleges! 🙌🏽 - Gabo

Daniel, Gabo and now Adam. You guys are my mind and soul training--physical Heroes: wisdom and dedication.

To be honest the best results in training i ever had was 20-30 mins of bodyweight 6-7 days a week for a long (8 months) period of time. Compared to going to the gym for 1.5h 3-5 days a week for 3 months. Consistancy really is the shortcut. All bodyweight exercises i did was with as much mind to muscle connection as possible and perfect form (Semi slow-slow mostly and explosive 1-2 times per 2 weeks)

Between you the two of you, we’ve run out of excuses to be ignorant about the best workouts, techniques, and meaningful progression. Appreciate everything you do for the rest of us.

damn, adam is strong and knows his stuff

Adam was a changing-life thing for me; his gymnastics approach has helped me immensely.

I really appreciate your introducing me to Adam. While I will never be a gymnast at my age or achieve the calisthenics skills the young guys desire, Adam's basic exercise videos offer new options for my home workouts. You and he both join me at home when I'm working out. Thank you.

This dude is a stud. Handsome, fit, smart, humble...

Coach Sommer talks very well about preparation so you not getting injured… takes months and years

It’s interesting seeing Daniel listening to responses and trying to digest them! There are moments where he might disagree or maybe want clarification but he just allows that space and time for the people he interviews

I recently discovered Adam and the amount of knowledge he gives is so insane he is very underrated

I got SO much out of this episode! 👏 👏 👏 Thank you, Daniel & Adam, for the quality education! I was so inspired from just the clips of Adam doing the exercises w/ such beautiful, clean form. I’m a 47-yr-old female, and I can attest that it’s never too late to either start or restart a movement regimen. When I developed fibromyalgia several years ago, I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to regain my strength, mobility, energy, etc., but since I wasn’t dead yet, I knew that I had nothing to lose by trying-I couldn’t settle for a life where I’d be so limited and handicapped by my own inaction.I used my tenacity & resilience to keep on keeping on, and the investment into my wellness has returned dividends-we are ALWAYS worth our own time & energy! 💯 In some ways, I’m stronger & more balanced in my build than before, thanks to the calisthenics channels I follow on RU-vid. I just didn’t have the knowledge before to do better. Thanks again for such an inspiring & empowering platform for people from around the globe to benefit from! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great talk. I'm 44 I do almost no bent arm Calisthenics. It's almost all strait arm skills ,Planche , Flags , Levers ,Press HS all compression skills , Maltese ,cross ect..... I only do a tad of bent arm on recovery days and lite progression. Buty carry over to bent arm skills is pretty good.

Wow both of you are on my top 3 fitness influencers, nice to watch you together.

2 of my favorite youtubers that have helped me in my fitness journey. Thank u Dan for this podcast with Adam. I've learnt so much from u both. Keep up the great work gentlemen. Mad luv from Aotearoa NZ

Fantastic podcast Daniel and Adam! I love your humility and honesty. Much love and respect to both of you.

I love this channel and he clearly has valuable connections to knowledgeable athletes

You two are legends and my absolute favorite. Thank you both so much for your channels and sharing your knowledge.

You guys are amazing!! Very inspiring to us. We appreciate you both very much.

Excellent discussion, bros! You both are AMAZING! Thank you both for your RU-vid channels.

Loved this, please more calm conversations.

So much important and usefull information!! Thank you daniel and adam!! Just a big thank you !!

Real nice collab here! Finally my favourite YT-er and Calisthenics coaches in one place. 🙌

Listened to the whole thing. Excellent podcast. Thanks Daniel and Adam, keep enlightening us.

Thank you! Very informative! Finally, a detailed explanation of the difference between body weight training/calisthenics and advanced gymnastics exercises/techniques

that was great interview and motivation speech. Thanks !

Gymnastics Method has one of the best best calisthenics channels on YT, so underrated. his production value is top notch, as well as his information. Loving this podcast!

chill down to earth man. simpel but effective. Thanks for sharing!

Soo much value, really loves the podcast.

Thank you for this podcast. Two very knowledgable individuals sharing their deep wisdom and experience!

The information here that is given is priceless for anyone, at any level, in any sport. It’s all about the fundamentals being performed structurally, being patient and results will come! Thanks 🔥💪🏻

I used to follow most gym rats and body builders here until I found and tried gymnastics and calisthenics method (body weight, a pull-up rack, and a couple of dumbells). Really effective for skinny-fat hardgainers like me to gaining muscle, improving posture, while staying lean (haven't really improved my flexibility though).

I love this pod cast very informative 👌

Great interview. A few months back a friend asked me how I do the same "stretches" (she meant base calisthenics) ever day week after week. I tried to explain that I think about it as the base for the rest of my life. It makes me feel good, starts the day right, but it's also what makes it possible to hike, bike, rock climb, etc

I've learned so much from both these guy's! Mahalo to both of you! 🌊🏄💪

Gymnastic method is just epic very cool and knowledgeable guy love the quality of his videos !!

Gold! Thanks Adam and Dan

I really enjoyed listening to this! Regular and systematic mechanical tension must be the secret to the rings gymnast physique. Training front lever and planche personally has resulted in specific adaptation and muscle growth (back, shoulders and serratus). Love the advice on building a solid foundation.

FANTASTIC podcast. Thank you. GOLD...

Loved this conversation!

Big fan of Adam and his channel. I’ve been implementing his tips in my training and it’s going really well

Thank you, love it!!!

Very informative podcast. Thank you for making it

Very good discussion! Thanks.

Really enjoy these podcasts. Keep em coming

This! Feel sore all the time, so true. Thanks guys.

This was mind changing. Thank you both so much.

This is my best used hr today. Thank you both 🤝

I am loving these series, teaches quite a lot

Fantastic podcast! Thanks 🙏

Gymnastics has very specific exercises and movements with established rules and criteria for judging every movement and highly developed training routines to achieve each outcome. It is highly regulated and correographed, so can't really be compared to calestenics which will probably never achieve this level of regulation. I feel that many gymnastics movements are more for display than calesthenics. They're often very dynamic and obviously designed to be watched while with calestenics, it seems like a good part of it is "feat of strengh" - static movements like the human flag, front or back lever, planch, etc. They are more approachable though still quite difficult so satisfying to achieve.

Great colob guys Adams channel is great and it's definitely nice to get proper information. Only a handful of channels I watch in relation to fitness due to specific goals

Big thank you these are amazing.

my 2 fave calisthenics youtubers!

you both are very humble about your extensive experience & knowledge. thanks to both of you for sharing! hopefully, you will have another conversation to enlighten us all!! Cheers

Just absolutely fascinating stuff - a goldmine of information. I'll be honest inthat I don't really give podcasts their due as, basically, I don't have an hour for them but I'll look out for them in the future. I keep coming back to this phrase of: 'the short cut; is knowing what is needed to be done'. So much good sense in that one sentence. Shocking that you have just 400 likes and there are people dry-scooping on IG with 2.5 mil followers. Beggars belief... 🙄

No waaay!!! :D Daniel, this is a fucking dream come true and it emerged absolutelly out of nowhere. :D Adam´s chanel is absolutelly fantastic and I´m extremely glad you to decided to make this collab

Huge fan of u both Guys support gymnastics methods

I was waiting for it!

This is a pretty common parallette routine. gotta keep that butt lifted during the tuck if your on the ground. Fantastic exercise for control under load.

omg I was waiting for his guest appearance since I followed and used both of your training videos

great episode!

Just subscribed him two weeks ago... Very great content channel Adam.. two masters together

I was really waiting for this guest

Interesting video ! I discovered Adam's channel few days ago and I watched a good amount of his content. I've been doing street workout for 5 years and i still learn things about the gymnastic ways ! What about nutrition? I wonder what a gymnast nutrition plan look like, because gymnast are really lean and ripped. Also, they don't seem to do a lot of cardio?

Brother when is the hybrid program coming? We need it 🤤

Thank you for inspiring me to better ❤️😍😍

woaahhh ive been waiting for this

When two legends meet , society gets benefitted.

You have to invite Lefteris Petrounias, he is a beast with the rings.

It's the fact that there are Gymnastic Rings in the background. Love it! 🤣

Thanks!

Great interview. How's the weighted calisthenics program coming along?

Wow. I just learned on a Google phone if you hold the right side of the video it will 2x speed. Never knew you could do that

Love you both! In which body position(s) do you read or study for a longer period of time?

Your AMAZING! ❤

Yooo! My 2 top fitness youtubers out there together, great podcast man. If you could manage to create a podcast session with The Kneesovertoesguy, that would be truly amazing as well, a lot of unique information about bulletproofing and similar

Gracias from Texas 👍

He was teasing us with his recent rope climb short.

Awesome. Look at the camera to make it even more awesome!
