A Journey to Strength, Elegance and Aesthetic - Calisthenics Chronicles: [EP.01]

Hey beautiful people!

We are at the gym with Christian today to do a strengthening workout “vlog”.

Today push workout with a little bit of extra weight.

This could be a new video serie.

I’m gonna call it Calisthenics Chronicles. Yes, with this perfect English ahah

The final goal is not to hit PRs with extra weight,

The final goal of these workouts is to stay in shape and build muscles with a little bit of extra weight.

As you can hear, my elbows just cracked.

Last one

Now I’m gonna rest a couple of minutes,

just to let the blood flow back on every part of the body.

Next I’m gonna do 1 set of 90° push ups

Please notice the style of this man, huge legs and super Saiyan Hairstyle

This weight vest is 2,5kgs, we will add 7,5kgs to reach the 10kgs mark.

Let’s try 10kgs, I don’t know if the intensity is enough.

5…

7,5…

...10kgs.

We don’t need this.

Chri: You are going to become a Viking

I do prefer Samurai

Are you more a Viking type of guy or Samurai type of guy?

I can feel the extra weight. I can feel every extra kg.

Chri: I’ll probably do 1 then die.

Slow negative now.

Christian: I have never tried a 90° push up with +10kgs honestly.

If you are able to talk between sets, then you are not training hard enough. Remember this.

Push push push! Fix the form, fix the form

The weight vest is too tight

I’m posting extra workout daily routines on my 2nd Instagram Profile @larosa.fit

Chri: I have noticed! That’s a good idea.

Chri: You just need a little more hollow for perfect form

Slow negative now.

I feel it on the triceps, a lot.

Christian wìis going to do 1 rep + 1 slow negative for the next set.

Right?

Chri: Yes, I have never trained with extra weight, so don’t be to harsh on me guys

Give everything you have!

This is the last set of the day, come on!

Feel every part of the movement.

good.

You know I like calisthenics, but every once in a while from now on I'll add 1 strengthening session with a little bit of extra weight.

Now we are going to destroy our upper body with some weighted dips.

Watch us and hopefully you can get some motivation for your next workout.

Christian: Get motivated by him, not me.

Do not underestimate yourself!

Let’s say it, he is currently doing other sports.

It’s okay to change training after many years of the same discipline.

I’m doing a little bit of powerlifting and kickboxing

Let it slide, let it slide

Leave it

Ok, I’m ready for the comments “why don’t you use a belt for weighted dips?”

Because with a vest you feel like you are ready for a battle.

Looks like the shield of Captain America

Today slow reps, this is what I like to try today.

I wanna feel the tension on the muscles!

The disc is so big that I touch it a little with the triceps

Maybe that’s not the best, but I’m gonna finish my set anyway.

I feel the extra weight, especially with this tempo.

I feel it way more muscular than 80-90kgs dips with the belt.

All the weight is on your upper body

Looks like someone is pushing you back down by putting his hands on your shoulders!

It’s also mental.

My chest is destroyed.

6?

I don’t know, I didn’t count.

Am I big? ahah Holy sh*t! Yes you are!

The cool thing with the weighted vest is that you feel it way more on your muscles.

I feel a better activation of deltoids, chest, triceps.

Maybe because this is the 1st time I’m seriously working out with a weighted vest.

If it’s too easy just hold the position at 90° angle with your arms

I’m okay with this workout.

Let’s end the video.

Visit www.andrealarosa.fit for my calisthenics programs.

Also, I have just launched 2 new programs!

"Big Bang BICEPS!" To work on your biceps and a little bit of back.

and "TITAN Triceps!" To build triceps and a little bit of chest and front deltoids too.

The price is little more than 10€, so if you wanna support me and build your arms you can give it a try.

Guys, I’m still alive, even if I don’t post much on my socials!
