Let's get started.
So the first exercise
This is a foundational exercise in calisthenics
and is great for building, pulling strength.
So what we're going to do here
is we're going to find a bar, we're going to grab it
a little bit wider than shoulder width.
We're going to tense up our lower body
and pull ourselves
over the bar until our chin is over the bar.
So are you ready?
Let's get started.
We're going to aim for ten reps, so grab it.
Tense up the lower body.
And from here,
Make sure you go all the way down.
And last one. Ten.
Okay, So that was the first exercise.
The next exercises we're going to do
So I found the perfect bar for the next exercise.
In the meantime,
let's take 30 seconds of rest before we begin,
and I'll explain this exercise first.
So, for the Australian pull up.
What you want to do is you want to grip the bar
a little bit wider, than shoulder width.
Then you want to step forward,
bring your hips forward, retract your scapula,
and then pull your chest towards the bar, letting go.
Resting for a bit and repeat the same motion.
Like this.
Okay, So let's aim for ten reps here.
Make sure you stop when you go down.
Keep those scapula retracted.
Last one
and ten.
Okay.
So that was the second exercise.
And now we're going to go to the third exercise,
So now we're in our 30 seconds of rest.
So for the next exercise, the negative pull up.
What we're going to do here is we're going to grab the bar
a little bit wider, the shoulder width again.
We're going to jump up controlling the top position
from here.
We're going to lower ourself down in a controlled manner
for 3 to 5 seconds.
This is the entire exercise
and we're going to aim for six reps.
So every time we come down, we jump back up.
Okay, so are you ready?
Let's get it.
Grip the bar a little bit wider.
Jump up, controlled position
Make sure you go to a full deadhang.
Again.
That's the second one.
That's the third one.
Halfway there.
Okay, we go for our last one.
Let's go.
Okay, so
let's take 30 seconds of rest before we go
to the next exercise,
for the chin up hold,
What you want to do is you want to find a bar
that you can put your hands on.
Put your hands in a supinated position.
Which means that the fingers are facing towards your face.
So from here, jump up.
Contract your biceps,
depress your scapula, and hold this top position.
This is an isometric exercise, which means there is
no movement.
Okay, so this is what we're
going to do for around 20 seconds.
So let's see.
Rest time is up.
Let's get it.
Hands in the supinated position.
Jump up.
Make sure you really contract your biceps, depress
your scapula, keep your lower body tensed.
Almost there.
Lower yourself down in a controlled manner.
Okay, so that was the chin up hold.
So the next exercise that we're going to do
Okay, guys, we're almost there.
Two more exercises.
So this exercise, the German hang rotations.
What you want to do is you want to grab a bar
with a protonated grip.
So with your fingers facing away,
hang all
the way in a dead hang from here.
Get your knees to your chest
and then pull yourself with straight arm strength
through the bar
and hang all the way down before
getting your knees back to your chest,
pulling
and going back to the starting position.
If the German hang rotations are too hard,
you can also do an easier variation
where you just pull yourself once,
let go, and then do another rep.
Okay, so rest time is up.
Let's aim for six reps
Let’s go.
So knees to your chest, pull,
hang, knees to the chest
and back.
That's one
This exercise is also a
great shoulder mobilizer since you're working in
end range of motion.
So if you want to get more flexible
then this is also a great exercise.
Okay. This was the fourth one.
two more
Lets go. Pull, Pull, Pull
Okay.
Last one. Knees to chest
straight arm pull
go into a hang
and Okay.
So great job.
Let's take 30 seconds of rest again before moving on
to the next exercise,
So with the pelican curls, you want to grab the bar
at shoulder width with your arms behind your body.
Then you want to step back,
Then you want to press your hips forward from here.
You're going to drive your elbows back
until your back touches the bar.
And then you're going to lower yourself
in a controlled manner back to the starting position,
Okay, so we're going to aim
for ten reps on this exercise.
Really blasting those biceps.
So are you ready?
Let's get started.
Grabbing the bar, shoulder width, walking back
fully, extending the arms,
driving your hips forward.
Okay, let's go.
Hold it
Really focus on those elbows driving backwards.
Five more.
Almost there.
Feel the burn.
Last one,
So those were ten reps.
If you don't feel your biceps burning,
you're not doing something right.
So watch the video again.
Now we're going to move on,
So what we're going to do with this exercise
is we're going to grab the bar at shoulder width,
go into a deadhang.
And from here we're going to use our hip
flexors and lower ab muscles
to raise our legs
to a 90 degree hold.
Go back and repeat this movement.
It's very important that you keep your feet
in front of your body.
So not here
because this will take away the tension on the core
and make the exercise way less effective.
So in front of the body, 90 degree
slow and controlled up and down.
Yes, we're going to aim
for ten repetitions for this exercise.
And after we finish this,
we're completely done with the first round.
Okay, so let's do this
Nice and controlled.
Halfway there.
Last one. Let's go,
