The Calisthenics Routine of a BEAST

Today we have a special guest, Valerio

Valerio: Nice to meet you guys!

I met him a couple of weeks ago while training on the beach

You can also find the vlog on my channel, Just click on the "i" on your right

So you can watch what type of exercises we did that day.

And today I really wanted to show you his routine

Valerio: I was a former gymnast, I started when I was 10 years old and then I stopped at 20 years old.

Andrea: But then you took a period off

Valerio: Yes, I have decided to stop and then I started going to a bodybuilding/fitness gym

Then, during a travel to Miami, I discovered Calisthenics, because everyone were training on the beach and I was fascinated

Andrea: So in the last years you have only trained with bodyweight exercises?

Valerio: Only Calisthenics exercises

So, guys, you have no excuses!

I know, the handstands can be a little harder for a beginner, but you can do it with the help of the wall!

The exercises of this routine can be a little hard, but you can learn most of them with just a few months/years of patience

and I'm sure you will get a physique like his

He usually does 1 pulling day, 1 day off, 1 pushing day, 1 day off and so on.

Valerio: Exactly!

He also does 1 leg day per week, so he usually train 4 days per week.

Valerio: Never more than 4 days of workout per week.

Today we did a push+pull session, so you can get an idea of the most important exercises of his routine.

As you can see he does all the most common calisthenics exercises

and as you can see, the exercises are effective!

Valerio: But you also need a healthy diet!

Valerio: Especially at my age! I'm 44 years old.

You said to me that you usually do 4 sets per exercise during your workout session.

Valerio: Yes, I do usually do 4 sets x 8-10 repetitions per exercise.

So, you always do around 8-10 reps per each set.

While for the harder exercises you decrease the repetitions and you do them at the beginning of the session?

Valerio: Exactly, exactly!

Valerio: I do usually work on the harder exercises first, like the muscle ups.

So I can work on most of my upper body muscles.

Thank you for showing us your routine!

Valerio: Thanks to you for the invite, it was a great pleasure to share the day with you!

I'm happy you gave us the confirmation that you can build a great physique with just "basics" exercises.

Remember to visit www.andrealarosa.fit if you want to improve your push ups, dips, pull ups and similar!

Please, let us know if you want more routines!

So maybe in the near future I can record another video with Valerio, maybe one of his workouts.

He has different routines, like a Pull one, a Push one, a Leg day etc. whatever he usually does!

Valerio: Good idea!

So you can get an idea, because as you can see, the results are great!

Valerio: Your physique is great too!

Yes, but a lot of people thinks that you can get a good body only if you are able to do extreme calisthenics exercises,

What I do care about is to show that they don't need to do crazy skills to obtain a good physique,

our routines are full of basics exercises like pull ups, push ups, australian pull ups and similar.

and everyone can learn these exercises with some patience.

Valerio: Yes, your own bodyweight is enough to develop muscles!

Also, if pull ups are too hard for you,

you can still work on them with the help of an elastic band.

I think that's it for today! Thank you again!

Valerio: Thanks to you!

See you soon!

Valerio: Thank you guys!
