5 Biggest Calisthenics Beginner Mistakes (AVOID THESE!)

yannick and today we're gonna explain

you the five

biggest beginner mistakes and how to

avoid them so

stay tuned for the video

[Music]

all right guys so welcome to the video

and as you can see we're just sitting

down here because this is going to be an

informational video

so please sit back and enjoy the video

so

in today's video we're gonna cover the

five biggest mistakes by

athletes who are just getting started

with calisthenics

and most of the beginners don't even

know that they are making any mistakes

and i'm very sure that after watching

this video there's at least

one mistake that you can relate to and

if you're going to improve this

you're going to improve your workouts

yes exactly

so also in the last few weeks and months

we've been getting a lot of messages in

our client support from all the

beginners that started one of our plans

but also in our gym we see a lot of new

gym members

new beginners that are making the same

mistakes they're

talking about the same questions and we

see it with our own eyes when we're

training here

people making the same mistakes without

even knowing it so

let's get started with the video we're

gonna start with the first point

and that is skipping the basics

all right so the first mistake is

skipping the basics

and actually moving too fast to learning

skills

which is of course really relatable also

when i look back at my

journey when i started i really wanted

to learn the handstand

uh the the muscle up the beckley for all

those cool skills

i see that all the time here in the gym

as well people they come here in the gym

and do their handstands do the back

lever without even warming up

and without even having a proper

training experience in the basics and of

course i understand

that you are excited that you want to

start with the skills but it's actually

not the most effective way to train

also you can get injuries if you don't

train the basics

first because you don't just have enough

strength to perform those skills

so it would be much more effective if

you first start with the basics

for example start doing your push-ups

with correct form because probably your

form is not correct

when you're doing push-ups do your

pull-ups with correct form

do your dips work on your straight arm

strength when you want to do handstands

stuff like that that's really important

if you want to start with skills

but first master those basics and really

work on getting

higher reps more strength and maybe

after quite some time you will feel that

you're getting stronger and then you can

start with training your skills and then

you will get going way

faster than you start with the skills

beforehand

alright so the second mistake is to

train without a workout plan and the

main principle that we mean

is to train without a training overload

without a progressive overload which

basically means

that after each training you want to

increase

either the number of sets number of reps

number of weight

or you just take a lighter band so

you're going to make the exercise

harder so we see a lot of people making

these mistakes by doing the same workout

every week so they're just gonna search

on youtube

for a push workout and they're gonna do

this for

eight weeks in a row without changing

anything of the sets the reps

or the weight that they're going to use

so even if you train about three times

per week but you're still doing the same

workouts over and over again

at the end of the day at the end of the

program you won't be any stronger

because you're not applying the

principle of progressive overload

alright so the third mistake is training

disproportional and it has basically a

little bit to do with yonic said with a

mistake too

don't working with a worker plan because

if you train disproportional

you're basically creating imbalances in

the muscle groups that you are training

for example

if you're really good at push-ups then

you probably like doing push-ups a lot

or you find yourself

being good in push-ups it's a

comfortable thing to do so you're

probably going to do

more push-related exercises and that

will ultimately lead to

imbalances in your muscles for example

in your shoulder when you're doing way

more push-ups than

pull-ups for example the same thing goes

for training the core that's actually

one other big mistake which it has

slightly to do with training

disproportional because many beginner

athletes

that want to train calisthenics they

neglect training

the core which is actually the most

important

aspect to train because the core

connects the upper body with

the lower body which is really important

with body weight training calisthenics

what we are doing

for example if you're doing push-ups

your boat needs your pushing strength

but also your core that needs

uh to keep your body in the right

position so make sure to always train

proportional so train your push-ups your

pull-ups

your core exercises and your leg

exercises proportional

so you can do for example a split

workout four times per week

or make sure that when you're doing a

full body workout you're always doing

the same amount of exercises for each

muscle group

all right so mistake number four is that

your trading volume

is too low or not in the right balance

and the trading volume is basically made

out of

your trading duration and your training

frequency and both of these aspects

needs to be in the right balance

for example if you're gonna train six

times per week

which is your training frequency but

you're gonna train only for 20 or 30

minutes

you're not going to get results because

your training duration is just

not long enough so and on the other side

um if you're going to train

once a week but your training is going

to be two or three hours

that's also not in the right balance

because you're just

not having the right frequency to get

results so it will be optimal to

train at least three times per week and

do workouts for at least

45 to 60 minutes and if you're going to

implement this

into your workout routines you

definitely gonna have results

all right so last but not least mistake

number five

is not tracking your progress so this

mistake has to do with all the four

previous beginner mistakes that we just

mentioned if you have covered all these

mistakes

then the last thing that you need to do

is tracking your progress because if you

know what you're doing then you're

making your results

measurable and if your measure your

progress your results

that will also lead to more motivation

for example if i look back to my own

journey i've noticed

that i trained in times that i didn't

track my results and i

and that i tracked my results and at the

time that i tracked my results

these were the moments that made the big

difference for me personally

because then i was really really

motivated you guys know that

probably know that that time that you're

really motivated really

excited to go to the gym smash those

records and that's the time when you

know

what your current result is and what you

want to beat so

that would be the last mistake what we

would like to cover

make sure to track your progress there

are few tools how you can do this

and i really want to say that it doesn't

have to be too strict

we speak to a lot of gym members right

here and also a lot of

online coaching clients that um you

should track your progress and the first

thing that they say is i'm not the kind

of person that

is really structured i don't like doing

tracking all the progress

but it doesn't have to be that strict

because you can also just grab your

camera

record your exercises and that is also

actually a way of tracking your progress

personally what i'm doing right now i'm

tracking all my videos

on instagram i made a private instagram

account and this is where i post all my

raw workout videos so i exactly know

what i'm currently doing and what my

current level is and that motivates me

every new workout to smash those results

so that would be the last thing that we

would advise you to do the same

track your progress all right so these

were basically the five

biggest beginner mistakes and because we

are seeing these beginner mistakes

all the time coming back over and over

again

we have designed a really really big

calisthenics basic scores that we're

gonna release

very soon and this is the first course

that we're ever gonna release

and this time it's gonna be different

than the previous workout plans that we

did before

because with this course we're not only

giving you

um the exercises and a structured plan

to work to your goals

but we're actually teaching you all the

tools that you need

to progress with calisthenics and that's

what we think

way more important and effective in the

long run so

it's divided into two parts the first

part is the theory part and the second

part is the practical part

which includes a worker plan so within

that first part the theory part

we learn you all the basic exercises

which are

a lot we've done like 100 exercises and

explained all the the cues the attention

points everything in full detail

so you know exactly how you how you

should do all the exercises with the

correct form and execution

next to that it comes with a lot of

beginner pro and regressions from each

single exercise you so you always know

how you can take a step back but also

take a step forward so that's basically

the course

we're gonna release this course really

really soon and if you want to stay

up to date and start with this

calisthenics course to really bring your

progress to the next level in a safe

and effective way while learning and

knowing all the exercises

with a worker plan then make sure to
