This is what we think about Calisthenics & Training Legs.. | #TFJ VLOG9

what's up ladies and gentlemen welcome to a new video

and new vlog of our Full Journey series in which we vlog our daily lives

In this episode we show our current legs workout

and how we think about this because that is always a big question within the calisthenics community

Yannick also shows a workout

yes, exactly, we trained outside in the sun for the first time last week

it was great again and I did a handstand push-up workout

I have done three exercises, I also tell you why I do those exercises

and I also give some information about how we train

and how we organize our workouts and why we choose certain exercises

yes exactly and before we start with the video we have a very nice announcement

for as you may know

we have translated our entire websites to Dutch in recent times

and we have also translated all programs

so they are now all available in Dutch and to celebrate that we now give a 35% discount on the Full Journey Program

and also on all separate programs

like the beginner program so if you want to change your body and

or if you want to work towards good skills then I would say

check our website and sign up for one of our programs

and for people who do not yet know what it the Full Journey program is

It is a long-term program consisting of four separate programs

So you can step in on every level so if you are a total beginner or you already have some experience in the gym

then the program is suitable for you. You work on the basis of a timeline, so for each separate program you set certain goals for yourself

and you work towards it until you actually master superhuman strength.

so I would say do not miss this opportunity because the program is now from 29 to

19 euros which is the cheapest price we have ever done!

the sale runs until the following week Wednesday and without further do, Enjoy this video!

ok guys like you see I'm in my room here

It's Wednesday afternoon and I'm uploading the vlog from last week

I'm going to put that online now. I'm also eating my meal as you see here

pasta with pesto vegetarian minced meat balls

tomato and broccoli as it is time for a legs workout today

after the body transformation video received a lot of reactions

whether we also train our legs

And that is also logical that people ask because in that video the focus was of course on our upper body

and we are actually only showing our upper body

this has to do with the fact that of course the focus with calisthenics is on the upper body

and not on the legs, but we do train the legs

not as often as our upper body because learning skills for example

The front lever, the backlever, the planche or the handstand simply takes a lot more time

than training your legs at least it's where your priority lies

I myself feel that training the legs for once a week is enough

I usually do that once a week and today I'm going to show you

what exercises I do and what my legs workout looks like

so I'm going to eat this meal and then I see you in the gym

ok guys like you see I arrived in the gym

the first exercise is the front squat this exercise I do four sets of 5 repetitions

So I really train on strength and the reason why I do the front squat

is because you really have to work from your core

I go bending to 90 degrees just a little deeper and I'm actually trying so hard

possible within the rep-range of 5 repetitions

the first two exercises I do during my legs are always with weights

purely to build strength the first so the front squat and the second is the Hip Thruster

here I also do five sets of about five repetitions

and I'm trying to hold him in five seconds

in between I also did a handstand

because it is getting better with my elbow injury so I wanted to test how it was to do a handstand

and it worked out nicely

I also made a small handstand push up, but of course I do not want to tax too much

so then I stopped. then continued with the last set of the Hip-Thruster

I do 105 kilos and was also my personal record again

five repetitions and five seconds in the top

These exercises are also very good for the front lever

since you push the weight up from the middle, from your hip

the third exercise after that I switch to bodyweight exercises

and that is of course the legendary Pistol Squat

With Calisthenics you can not miss that exercise, I train more on mass

so about 8 to 12 repetitions hereby I do three to four sets

with each side of each leg and of course I go as deep as possible

all the way to the ground and if the ff fails when my balance loss

then I try to catch myself and restore myself to continue

because I want to make at least 8 to 12 repetitions at once

because then you are really going to create mass then I do weighted Pistol Squats

With a small weight at the ankles balanced on a parallette

and that super fun for the challenge and of course also good for your stabilization

in the beginning I started low from the parralette and I go up

and this is the only time during this workout that it worked down from the top

and then I finish the legs workout with a core exercise

and here I actually go towards a V-sit and I do this very controlled

I bring my legs to my body and I try to execute the exercise as controlled as possible

hereby also about six repetitions

and as slowly as possible and as controlled as possible for the building of strength

so guys this was my legs workout two exercises with weight

and two exercises without weight and that is actually how I always combine my leg workouts

and in the end I always close it with an abdominal muscle exercise.

and of course guys ... just a little flex in the end

to see how it goes with muscle mass in my legs

ok ladies and gentlemen I walk here in the forest it is super nice weather

Together with michelle I am taking vitamin D of the sun and enjoying it

we are on our way to a glider field

there we go for a drink

it is about 40 minutes walk

and soon I am going to hit a outdoor workout session with yannick because it is the first day of the new year that the weather is nice

and of course, here you all agree on:

The greatest advantage of Calisthenics is of course that you can exercise outside

so that's what we're going to do today

and besides, we always look at the reactions to our youtube videos

and one of a reactions from previous youtube video was someone who asked

how we always remain motivated to keep on training

and I personally think for me is the way I always set goals for myself

we always make programs for ourselves from about 8 to 12 weeks

for example, I want to be able to push a 90-degree handstand

that is of course very difficult to learn at once

so I set smaller goals for myself

for example 3 hs push ups and an elbow planche hold for 20 seconds for example

and that's what I'm working towards in the coming period

and then I see that I am getting closer to that goal during my workouts

and I always keep in my mind the bigger picture I'm working towards

I think that is a big motivation factor that always keeps us driven

so I would say take that into your workouts

implement it for yourself and hopefully you will also become more motivated

to pop those workouts every week and now it's time to do our first workout

outside in our backyard of the Bars, haha :;)

Okay we are here in the Backyard, in the beautiful sun we just recorded a video

A video about our diet, in other words, how we stayed lean for two years

While we have created the muscle mass

as soon as you watch this vlog the video online link is in the description

Look at how nice weather it is. I think today is the first day that we are going to train outside

yes and that we also recorded a video outside

yes exactly okay ladies and gentlemen we are now in the backyard to start training

mike is there too I have parallettes here with a mattress

Because I'm going to train the handstand pushups today and I'm also going to train a bit of front lever

The mattress is here so that I have a bit of a measurement level

I want to push to here and a few repetitions until there would be nice

Let's see if it goes well today!

The first was, according to my best, the second one went a bit too deep

Because of this I couldn't press out, but that does not matter!

ok guys my first exercise was the handstand push-up

we are going to the second exercise which is the bent-arm planche

I actually do it to become strong in the deepest point of the handstand push up

so a good exercise for strong shoulders

That was really a tough exercise

As you can see, I still do it straddle with his legs wide

I have never actually tried the full version

because I know that the full is just a lot heavier, just like with the backlever for example

but I would still try to see how far I am coming

I'M curious

I went on my nose, that was 3 seconds full bend-arm planche

I do not think that's enough, so I'm just going back to straddle on planche

and as soon as I can do it for about 15 seconds, I will only proceed to the full

we always work with progressions only if you have achieved a certain level of seconds or repeat

only then can you proceed to the next variant

that is how you always build up to a complete skill

so step by step. Okay I have done two exercises now

so now it's time for a third exercise for the hspu.

I'm going to do the elevator pike pushups and I'm going to use a table for that

All right ladies and gentlemen we just finished the workout I did 3 exercises hspu

Five sets for each exercise

four to ten repetitions are usually based on strength

and in addition, we have done three more exercises for front lever

but I want to keep the video a bit short, so I did not film. if you are interested in what kind of exercises I did for the front lever

please let us know in the description

and maybe next week I will do a video of the front lever exercises

And that was it for this workout! Mike is also ready, I have done some basic exercises

I am slowly recovering and I am getting better now since I do the basics

so mroe working out again next week! Yes, exactly!
