🗣️ Calisthenics is…

🔴 TOO HARD...

Every form of physical training is challenging, and that’s why it’s so rewarding. Yes, achieving your first pull-up or holding a Planche is not easy, nor is building muscle or losing fat.

🔴 SHOWING OFF...

There are athletes with egos as big as skyscrapers, but that doesn’t include the entire calisthenics community. We do handstands in public because we love handstands. We do muscle ups in conventional gyms because they’re part of our training. Calisthenics is not the problem; the intention behind it is the determining factor.

🔴 CHICKEN LEGS…

Oh man, this is the main criticism we receive from the bodybuilding community. Listen, a competitive athlete in freestyle calisthenics who wants to be THE BEST and does heavy deadlifts three times a week will not be the best, period. Prove me wrong. Now, if you want to have a “balanced” physique, countless calisthenics enthusiasts have incredible lower body development while excelling at bodyweight movements. We don’t tell professional tennis players that they have small lats, do we?

🔴 INJURIOUS…

Just no. Calisthenics done “wrong,” without a proper training plan and appropriate exercise and progression selection, CAN lead to some issues. The same goes for those who add 50kg to their squat in a week or make substantial increases in work volume too quickly. We can get injured walking down the stairs. Calisthenics is not the problem; it’s our big Egos, impatience, and/or lack of knowledge that is the issue.

Weak Ankles? 🤕

☝️ Quick note: This post has both advanced and beginner-friendly exercises. The advanced stuff is what I do in my weekly routine — might not be for everyone. Beginner options are in the same post. Pick what fits you.

Use a pole, bar, or wall if you need it. Go slow. Listen to your body. Reduce the help over time.

Here’s the thing about ankle injuries:

They often happen when your body hits a position it’s not used to. One weird angle + enough force = sprain.

So one approach? Train your ankles in positions where sprains tend to happen.

Slowly. Safely. Over time.

How to use these:

🔥 Warm-up
🥵 After your workout
👽 Random moments throughout the day

Simple goal: expose your ankles to these positions and build strength there.

A few more things that can help:
🔹 Walking barefoot more often
🔹 Different surfaces
🔹 Squats and hip hinges

Use support if you need it. Back off if something doesn’t feel right.

No need to rush this.

My thoughts on men being “emotional”…

Over the years I’ve observed 2 very distinct points of view that imo none are fully correct. Life is not that black and white…

On one hand, men should be able to cry anytime, express their emotions openly, and have the room to “act based on their feelings”.

On the other hand, men should be stoic, emotionless, and totally quiet even if they feel totally demoralized inside.

BOTH are a recipe for disaster.

Telling a man that it’s ok to “follow his feelings”, to “skip work if he doesn’t feel like it”, to “cry every single time he feels overwhelmed” will lead to a society filled with weak men incapable of leading a family and raising strong children — which is the fu***ng basis of our survival as a species.

Telling -or judging- a man for crying in public, expressing his emotions, and speaking the f**k up when he needs HELP will lead him to grow resentful, become a tyrant in his home, and take his live because he literally didn’t feel safe enough to ask for help.

There is an epidemic of BOTH…
Weak men that are unable to lead their lives because of lack of emotional control, AND even weaker men that don’t even share their feeling to their spouses because “they are the man”…

It’s true that the world needs MORE masculinity, not LESS (true masculinity). However, speaking up when you feel that the entire world is crumbling on your shoulders doesn’t make you ANY less masculine.

There is a time and a place to “man the f**k up”, set your feelings aside, put on your pants, and follow up with your DUTY as a real man (and this should be the majority of the time) — however, there is also a time to be openly vulnerable with those around, and ask for help when needed.

The Big 7 of Flexibility ✅ Comment "Splits" for 15 min. Middle Split, Front Split, and Pancake Routines.

I’ve heard the concept of the “Big 5” flexibility exercises from and : the pike, the pancake, the middle split, the front split, and the bridge. I added two more to the list, which I’ll explain below.

The idea is that working on these exercises will give you enough flexibility for all other flexibility goals you may have. For example, working towards the bridge will care for the hip flexors, lats, and chest instead of considering these body parts separately as individual goals.

You will still work on these body parts separately. However, the intent of improving your bridge and focusing on a single position makes training “easier” and more straightforward than thinking of each joint and muscle in isolation.

1️⃣ The Resting Squat: This should be your entry point to flexibility work. It should become so comfortable that you could even eat in this position.

2️⃣ The Pike: Hamstring flexibility will serve you for many skills and even daily life activities.

3️⃣ The Pancake: Not necessary for real-life activities, but it will improve all compression skills like handstand presses, L-Sit, and V-Sit.

4️⃣ . The Front Split: This one will work all the hip flexors and hamstring flexibility you might need.

5️⃣ The Middle Split: This is arguably the hardest of the lower body exercises. Again, it is not directly applicable to real life but extremely helpful for anything hand-balance-related. It will ensure you have enough hip flexibility to spare.

6️⃣ The Bridge: This exercise will open your entire anterior chain (front of the body). Working on it will open the spine, shoulders, lats, chest, abs, and hip flexors to a great degree.

7️⃣ The German Hang: I added this exercise to the list to work the shoulders into extension, which none of the above exercises does.

📱 You can find Follow Along classes for each movement on my app!

For the best results, I recommend focusing on 2 at a time, a maximum of 3. If you have any other questions, ask below!

💬 Comment “Skills” for a FREE 2 Hour Calisthenics Skills Masterclass

There’s an immense sense of fulfillment that can only be earned through consistent effort. Shortcuts, by definition, are short-lived.

We chase quick fixes, life hacks, anything to skip the uncomfortable parts that are an unavoidable part of anything worth doing. Because growth doesn’t respond to comfort. It responds to repetition, to presence, to thousands of invisible moments most people rush past.

Let’s never forget that it’s not about getting there, but about who we become along the way. Everyone who’s walked on fire and stone knows the truth: yes, it burns. But that’s exactly what makes each step matter as it carves a type of strength that can only be earned by committing and never let go—no matter what.

Ultimately, it takes the same effort to walk with doubt as it does to walk with faith. The only difference is that one transforms you, the other destroys you. That shortcut you’re taking? It’s just delaying the hardest thing a human can ever earn and the easiest one to lose: self-respect.

And the moment we lose that, we are forced to detour. And that always takes longer than if you would’ve taken the longest path in the first place.

Walk the path.
Earn the reward.
One rep at a time.

Comment “Shoulder” for a FREE shoulder routine + how to unlock the Planche video 👇

Pseudo Planche Lean Push Ups 🔥

One of the most effective exercises for Planche strength. Also one of the most misused.

There are 2 variations:

1. Scapulas protracted the ENTIRE time
2. Retract at bottom, protract at top — like a regular push up (shown here)

Most people think they’re doing variation 1 but they’re actually doing variation 2 without knowing it. That’s fine — just know the difference.

If your goal is full protraction throughout, don’t lean more than you can handle. Otherwise you’ll naturally retract at the bottom.

❓How to build up to full protraction:

First test: Can you keep protraction when you lean WITHOUT the push up?

If not → Start with Plank on Arms. Master each angle before adding more lean.

Key checkpoints:
🔹 Legs together / Heels together
🔹 Hips pushed down + PPT
🔹 Abs fully contracted / Glutes contracted
🔹 Scapulas protracted & depressed
🔹 Neutral spine — rounding too much = compensation

This exercise isn’t the healthiest position for your shoulders. Your body adapts to a lot — just don’t rush it.
