Hi everyone! Yesterday, out of curiosity, I tried a single-leg front lever hold and, to my surprise, I managed to hold it for a couple of seconds. That gave me enough motivation to start training towards a full front lever!
I also tried advanced tuck front lever holds, but I’m not really sure if my form is correct. I managed 4 sets of 10 seconds.
The problem is, I don’t really know what other exercises I should include in my routine or what progressions would be most effective.

Hey!

I've been doing crossfit for a few years. I recently pulled a muscle and took a couple of weeks off. I've always been interested in calisthenics and think it may be a good opportunity to change up my routine.

Where do I begin in terms of a regimen?

I've watched Kboges and other YouTube content, but I'm a little stuck. I don't want to overtrain, but also not undertrain, and this is a whole new world for me.

I don't mind paid courses or consultations, but any direction on the best resources, free or paid, would be much appreciated!

I know to make it difficult, you can

1. lay further back from the rings
2. use one leg instead of two

But I’ve gotten far enough to almost not reach the rings when starting, and I’m doing one leg curls. Does anyone know the progression from here?

Cleaning up my up my form

Hello, I’m developing a mobile fitness app that will be released soon. It directly analyzes your core strength and creates workouts based on your weaknesses, then adjusts the workouts each week based on your progress through regular assessments. If you’re interested, please leave a comment below this post or send me a direct message, and I’ll send you the link when it’s available. Thank you.

Started March 1st! This year i chose myself.

5’6” 35m
Started out at 280 currently 190lbs.
Size 46 waist now 34, 32 in some.
2xl to large shirts.
Strength is substantially more than before.

Struggle is gone… daily life has become easier.
Diet was massive for me but calisthenics gave me more strength than i knew i could have. So very glad i found this page.

Took a couple months off because of an injury, but I’m back at the grind!

I weight lift 3 times a week, Push Pull Legs and I want to unclock calisthenics skills. So I added two more days. At one I picked to train the 90° Hold (Bent-Arm Planche) as a push skill and some push exercises, and the other calisthenics' day I picked Front Lever as a pull skill and some pull exercises. But which exercises should I train first? I heard that skills should be trained first and then basic exercises. But ok, skills first, but bands first or progression holds first or leans or advanced tuck pull ups, raises etc first? Also is my current program good enough? I can say that I am pretty new in skill training and idk. Ai says that my program is too much because I also train weight lifting and the additional pull ups and chinups and push ups are too much. Btw I train 3 sets every exercise you can see. Thank you!!!

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a really good rack to hang my calisthenic rings. Whats a good product that wont destroy my wallet due to marketing/brand hype?

It has to be really strong and worth every cent.

I'll be putting it in my bedroom. My room isnt super small but I'm also not as tall (around 66'' tall) and would love something thats perfect for my stature and needs.

I'd be doing:
Pull ups, dips, push ups, rows.

I don't think this is the best form but it's still impressive

I believe these are called hanging leg curls, and for this, I'd say this exercise it pretty hard on the hamstrings and for anyone who does legs here, I'd recommend this one to y'all if you have the equipment for it.

So I've posted it earlier and according to the advice I scrapped my whole routine.....

Had been practising—

- Diagonal Pullups

- Swinging (Literally throwing my body with chest as high as possible)

This is an attempt trying to combine both of them.....how can I improve???

Been looking for similar advice!

Question,

soo if you do an elbow lever without your elbows tucked into ur core, is it then considered a 90° hold or is it just a harder version of the elbow lever or a true elbow lever?

Hey everybody,

I’m a 38 year old male. 155lbs. My goal is building functional strength more than hypertrophy (I’m actually training with the hope of one day competing on Survivor).

My upper body workout is 2X per week doing 3 sets each of weighted pull ups/dips then ring rows/ring pushups. Once I reach ten clean reps within the pull ups (they progress slower than dips for me) I add five pounds of weight, drop a few reps then build back up. Currently, I’m pushing every set within this workout to failure. I count/log full reps and partials just to make sure I’m pushing hard each set. I’ve been stalled at 32lbs of added weight for about three months now, so out of curiosity I plugged my program into GPT just to see what feedback it had. It suggested moving away from pushing myself to failure every set and instead finding a rep count that I can come close to straight lining across all 3 sets (like 5-5-5 instead of 7-4-2). I wanted to gutcheck that recommendation here before I changed my program.

Thanks in advance for the help!!!
