How to become a Calisthenics Athlete?

[Music]

alright guys so if you want to become a

calisthenics athlete then this video

might be very helpful for you why

because in this video we are going to

explain three really important roles

that makes a katasonych

athlete in our own opinion so the first

aspect is aesthetics because with

calisthenics we are trying to get a

great physique and of course you can be

a catalytic athlete without having a

great physique but that is not our goal

we actually started with Fitness like a

few years ago and then transitioned over

to calisthenics and our main goal there

were whole reason why we started working

out was to become more muscular and to

get a lean and athletic physique and

that is exactly what we're trying to

strive for still today with calisthenics

so how to get a lean aesthetic Luke with

calisthenics training well there are a

few really important things so the first

rule first principle which is very

important to get aesthetic and to build

muscle with calisthenics is that you

should work in an optimal rep range when

working out and that is in a hypertrophy

way which is in a rep range from like 6

to 15 reps and why because with muscle

growth it's very important that you have

a lot of time and attention when working

out so one of the key exercises to build

muscle are the basic exercises such as

for us two favorite exercises the dip

where shoulders the chest and your arms

then the pull-up and also the push-up

you can do it weighted or not weighted

so let's go

[Music]

alright guys today was all about gaining

muscle mass but also to get a lean

aesthetic body it's also very important

to do two very important factors and the

first one cardio cardio is something

that most people neglect but it's really

important to burn fat and to get more

functional in your daily life and also

to activate like your heart rate which

is also we're very optimal for building

muscle and just your overall results

when working out so one of my favorite

cardio exercises are burpees and also

jumping squats because these are very

high intensity exercises which

stimulates fat burning even more so

let's go

[Music]

alright guys so besides losing fat with

high intensity exercises there's one

other factor which is very important and

that is your diet so there are actually

two situations right here you are either

skinny and you want to gain weight and

gain muscle mass or you have a little

bit overweight and you want to like

decrease your weight so how to gain or

lose weight it's actually really simple

you have to look up your maintenance

level so that means how many calories

you are consuming to stay at your same

weight and then you have to like lower

the calories with like two to four

hundred calories to a Catterick deficit

to lose weight and you have to like to

increase the calories with two to four

hundred calories to increase your weight

and you don't want to increase your

calories too much because if you do that

then you will be gaining also a lot of

fat and that is exactly what you don't

want if you want to stay in shape

while still gaining muscle mass all

right guys so that's all about the first

aspect of how to become a calisthenics

athlete in our opinion and now let's go

to the second factor the second aspect

and that is in our opinion power like

real bodyweight power and strength so I

covered like the base the exercises such

as to pull up the push-up and the dip

for like building muscle mass and also

like getting stronger and your basic

exercises next to this you can like

achieve more harder exercises with

calisthenics and that's like really a

challenging part of calisthenics and a

part at breathe really love about

calisthenics for example think about

like the basic exercises but then like a

little bit harder such as the handstand

pushup instead of just regular push-ups

the Russian dips instead of regular dips

and the muscle ab instead of just

regular pull-ups

so with this part power and strength we

are really working on explosiveness but

also real bodyweight power alright so

let's talk about how to transition from

basic body weight strength to like

advanced bodyweight exercises the first

rule

first step is progressive overload so

that means that you have to increase the

loads in every new training session so

that means that you have to do either

more repetitions more sets more seconds

or even harder exercises than the

previous training and it's the best way

to track your results in a digital or a

normal logbook so you can see what your

results are from the last training and

then you know what kind of results you

have to beat to get stronger then

yesterday or one week ago so that's very

important so I highly recommend to start

with tracking your progress and to

increase progressive overload to work up

to exercise like that hasn't push it for

the muscle up and also guys your mind is

key when it comes to getting stronger

because with calisthenics it's very

important that you have the bodybuilding

mindset so that means that you go to

every workout with the purpose of

getting stronger and better than the

previous one instead of just going to

the calisthenics park or just at home

and just do some random sets or reps or

exercises because then you're just

playing around

instead of systematically working

towards your own goals and that's why

it's also very important to work in a

structured program and that's when I

come to the second point and that is

frequency frequency is very important

especially with exercise like this

there's a push of the muscle up because

the more frequent you're going to

practice a exercise the faster you will

get it so I would recommend to at least

train every muscle group or every

exercise that you are working on at

least two times per week and then I come

to the last factor and that is

consistency consistency it goes along

with frequency consistency is key

especially with calisthenics because

some exercises can take months or even

gears to work up to so it's very

important to stay consistent and

sometimes many people ask us like do you

train every way

do you sometimes have a break and yes we

do have a break and I can advise you to

have breaks when it comes in a natural

way in your own life so for example when

you're having exams then it's a perfect

moment to have a break from your worker

program to like recover your muscles and

to also get a little bit more motivated

to work up to new goals so that's kind

of the way how we take breaks after a

long period of working out and also one

thing that you have to consider is that

if you don't stay consistent the

principle of reversibility comes in and

that means that you will lose your

progress as fast as that you build up

your progress because the body tends to

adapt to the old situation to the old

level so that's why it's very important

to always try to keep moving forward and

to bring your body in a new state

alright guys so that's all about the

second part of how to become a

calisthenics athlete power and strength

and now let's move on to the last part

and that is full body control and here

comes the beautiful part of calisthenics

combining your strength with like

beautiful exercises and flowing and that

is like combining the strength that

you've gained into like really nice

exercises that requires a lot of

functional strength and for this you can

think of a nstant or a press to

handstand or a full back leaf or because

our goal with calisthenics is not only

to become really huge and big and have a

lot of strength but also to have the

ability to move freely to be functional

to be flexible all aspects that are very

important to be a all-round complete

athlete so that's the last part of

becoming a calisthenics athlete in our

opinion and for this you should work on

lots of mobility exercises flexibility

routines maybe do some yoga and also

practicing a lot of skills such as the

handstand or the Beckley for exercise

like that so that is in our opinion the

ultimate way to become a calisthenics

athlete

so to recap this video how to become a

Kansan ex-athlete work on your

aesthetics basic exercises then work on

your power your strength and progressive

overload tracking your programs stuff

like that it's very important and then

at last combine it all together into

beautiful strength and make sure that

you implement flexibility and mobility

routines so that's all about the video

that you have a better idea of our own

goals and how you should also apply this

into your own workout routine or your
