| My 1 year Calisthenics Evolution Posted: 08 Jul 2020 03:24 AM PDT Hi there! My stats:My name's Julien, I'm 18 years old and I'm 171cm tall (5'7") for 63kg (139 lb). My journey:I would like to present you my transformation that took place over a year. This transformation is more of an evolution since physical development was not one of my priorities when I started Street Workout. I started my journey in January 2017 and at that time I was really starting from 0, I couldn't even do a single pull-up. So I started by doing 1,5 year of set&rep and endurance, working only the basic skills (muscle-up and handstand). I gained a lot of strength without really developing physically but again, that wasn't really my goal. In June 2019, I was finally able to start working on the skills that had pushed me to start this sport, namely the planche and the front lever. Today, one year later, I am really happy to say that I have unlocked all the skills that made me dream such as the Full Planche, Front Lever, 90° Handstand Push-up, and a few others. My program:From July 2019 to February 2020, I did 3 trainings a week.
Then, from February 2020 to today, I do 5 trainings a week:
To make this transition, I obviously had to decrease the intensity of my workouts, which allowed me to add more volume. This transition helped me a lot to progress in all the static movements; that's how I could go from 5s of Front lever to 12s and from 4-5s of straddle planche to 10s. As for the workouts themselves, I did 3 main exercises each time and I added some secondary exercises (it really depends on you). For the Planche :
And for the Front lever:
My progress in video (from June 2019 to June 2020)I hesitated a lot before making a video about my transformation, I did feel like I wasn't good enough but I managed to overcome this feeling by telling myself that it could motivate or even inspire other people to either start or continue. I've never used any editing software before, so the result is not very professional but I'm quite happy with it. So I'd love to hear your opinions on the quality of the video, and on the content itself of course. Here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de3Igxk1jsU What I've learned (and what worked for me):
What next?I think it's time for me to build up some muscle mass. Now that I've reached my goals in static skills, I'm going to try to maintain them for the next 2-3 months while increasing my mass. After that, I would like to start training really advanced gymnastic movements, such as maltese or planche on rings. ConclusionI hope this post may have brought you something, be it inspiration, motivation or even help. If you have any comments, questions or if you need advice, I would be delighted to hear and respond to them. I wish you all the best for the future, Julien [link] [comments] |

| Anyone interested in a reddit bwf group chat ? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 12:18 PM PDT I think a personal group chat room would be really benifical if you wanna be added just reply to this post. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 12:17 PM PDT What's the best video to help me start out in cali, as I learn vest by watching, I have viewed a few but most are a little to advanced.... I really want to long term do that thing where you sit down then lift your body into a handstand, thought I'd let you know for advice. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2020 12:04 PM PDT This is a chest workout supersetted with abs to allow your chest to rest in between exercises. (BTW; if you can't do the reps listed, just do your best. Work to the point where you can achieve higher reps!) (45:15 means workout 45 seconds, rest 15) Warm up: 45:15 jumping jacks 15 push ups 45:15 russian twists 15 decline push ups 45:15 leg raises Workout: Push ups x 20 Crunches x 20 Decline push ups x 20 Side plank raise x 10 (both sides) incline push ups x 20 45:15 leg raises (repeat 3x) 1st set: Regular push ups 2nd set: Diamond push ups 3rd set: Wide push ups Change the grip to target different parts of your chest. Regular grip hits your general chest. Inner grip hits your inner chest. Wide grip hits your outer chest. Change the push up variation to also target different parts of your chest. Regular hits your middle and lower chest. Incline hits your upper chest. Decline hits your lower chest. Push ups are a great exercise to workout your chest. Supersetted with abs, this is an amazing workout! Had me gassed lol. Other than that, remember to eat your protein, drink your water, eat somewhat clean and get good sleep! You'll watch the muscle grow. Have a great day! Taken from my insta [link] [comments] |

| How should I incorporate skills training into my push/pull/legs split? Posted: 08 Jul 2020 01:16 AM PDT I'm trying to find a new 5-day routine for calisthenics, since I am getting bored of my current 4-day full body routine. I've been thinking of doing a push/pull/legs split where: Monday is Push Tuesday is Pull Wednesday is Legs Thursday is Push Friday is Pull I'm liking this so far, and every day I will do some core exercise. Only problem is how do I incorporate my training for specific skills such as planche, front lever, back lever etc.? Do you reckon it is a good idea to add skill-specific training on Wednesday when I'm doing legs, or will that be too exhausting. Also for skill-specific training, how frequent should I work them every week (I find that planche training in particular is taxing on my wrist joint)? I don't really want to add a 6th day dedicated to skill-specific training. Cheers [link] [comments] |
| Clarity on muscular endurance within bodyweight fitness...... Posted: 07 Jul 2020 01:41 PM PDT It is very likely I'll be entering into the academy to become a firefighter within the next year. My goal is to achieve the highest number of push-ups, pull ups, and sit ups in a row possible so that I can win the fitness award at the end of the academy. Along with this, I just want to have amazing full-body muscular endurance in regards to calisthenics so that I can be best prepared for the PT in the academy and I can dedicate the rest of my energy to my studies. Is there any advice/resources anyone could direct me to for these kinds of goals as an aspiring tactical professional/athlete? I am a former rugby player who has done predominately weightlifting throughout high school and college. I appreciate any help, and am currently reading Overcoming Gravity 2nd Edition to try and learn more about calisthenics! [link] [comments] |
| Are there any exercises that can increase vertical jump? Posted: 07 Jul 2020 08:38 PM PDT I've searched through countless videos on YouTube because I've been wanting to dunk for a while. So far I've seen that it's mostly squats or variations of squats and a few others like reverse nordics. I know I'm supposed to be targeting the quads and hamstrings, but none of these exercises have been as effective compared to deadlifts and weighted squat. Due to the current circumstances I'm unable to do any of the listed exercises because of lack of equipment. I've kind of reached a dead end in my road to dunking, so it would be cool to know I can continue even through the situation at hand. Tysm. [link] [comments] |
