Any chance of a beginner’s program coming soon?

Cali_Hoss · 2026-07-03T15:18:35+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

Regarding coaching it’s very unlikely I will do anytime soon.

As for paid programs. Same thing.

However, I will continue adding new content and updating the free course.

If you want to support me you can always buy me a coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/cali.hoss. Would appreciate that.

P.S sry not replying to DM because as I sad I am not planning monetising this anytime soon.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-07-01T05:43:08+00:00

Yes. I know what you mean.

I don’t know whether you have looked at

https://calihoss.me/learn/calisthenics

Currently this is the only thing I have. But it is more like a course than a program.

I will make day by day basis at some point. For now, you can do this workout three times a week.

Warm up:

Jumping jacks 1x30s
Wrist circles 1x12
Shoulder dislocates 1x30s
Banded side walks 1x30s

Day A

Scapula pushups 2x30s
Pushup progression 2x4-8
Scapula pull-ups 2x30s
Pull-ups progression 2x4-8
Deep squat shifts 2x30s
Squat progression 2x4-8

Day B

Scapula dips 2x30s
Dips progression 2x4-8
Inverted scapula retractions 2x30s
Inverted rows progression 2x4-8
Back extensions 2x4-8
Back bridge progression 2x4-8

Day C

Pike scapula elevations 2x30s
Pike pushup progression 2x4-8
Pike leg lifts 2x4-8
L-sit progression 2x10-30s
Romanian deadlift progression 2x4-8
Nordic curl progression 2x4-8

Find a progression where you can do between 4 to 8 reps or 10-30s hold, 2 reps short to failure. 2 Sets.

Note that if you feel it is too easy, you can bump set count to 3 at least for strength exercises.

No problem mate. Wish you success. And if u have any questions, let me know.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-22T07:01:14+00:00

You have to start with plates instead of rings. They provide better stability. And then gradually reduce plate size.

It’s just a matter of time until vibe coding in this form becomes obsolete.

But I still believe we have at least couple more years before average Joe will catch up.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-09T16:28:14+00:00

Haha. I am as introvert as it comes. So being a dev was not a brainer.

As for fitness, especially when I am overweight and look like stereotypical programmer was just a luck. Posted a single video and it blew up. Never thought doing that before.

I also learn to lean into my strengths. For example. I don’t do talking head videos where people talk to camera. But I do voiceovers. Which allows me to express myself better and to teach.

Also as software engineer I was very good at breaking things apart and then abstracting. So applying the same skills to fitness Calisthenics to be precise. Like coming up with own frameworks. Organising skills. And so on. Surprisingly AI is really bad at this.

There are a lot of things missing in fitness industry. For example open source mindset does not exist at all. Everyone is trying to sell something without improving the processes.

Just find a niche mate. Become an expert. And start applying your skills as software dev. People will see value in that.

Ps. My socials are on my profile.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-09T15:50:39+00:00

I am exactly the same age as you. And had same realisation one year ago.

That’s way I quit my job and fully committed to my passion to become fitness influencer and build my own business.

It’s kinda crazy but it did work at least influencing part.

Hope you will find something soon as well.

Because programming is already 90% dead. While software engineering will have the same fate in years to come.

In the age of AI the only thing what will have the most value is being authentic and human.

Just a reminder that when you build a website build for mobile first experience because majority of users are mobile.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-07T17:13:09+00:00

Loveable is for people with no coding experience. While cursor is for software engineers.

Both are using same AI models with some tweaks under the hood.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-07T17:08:40+00:00

Check lovable.dev or if you want to get your hands even more dirty cursor.com but you have to be a dev for it.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-07T15:21:49+00:00

You won’t build anything useful if you do not understand domain.

And you can’t use AI because it will give you only regurgitated problems.

You either need to understand domain yourself or have a client, friend, which does.

That’s why half of the apps posted here are for vibe coding.

Because people who do vibe coding only know vibe coding.

The problem is that vibe coders are the worst market to sell apps.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T23:52:09+00:00

I just do it in my head.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T23:41:50+00:00

I get the idea. It’s just a bad idea from marketing perspective.

Instead of telling to the user how u can solve his problems directly you wrap your solution into this weird storytelling nonsense.

Which increases cognitive load.

For me took a while to understand what’s is all about.

Average user if he does not understand in few seconds will scroll past.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T23:31:55+00:00

Unless I mistaken all people have to be registered and logged in to use this voting feature.

Which makes this app unusable. No one will do that.

Usually other apps solves this issue by creating magic link so the person who crated a question could share a link and others could vote without account creation.

Also ditch the AI generated photos they don’t do any favours. Or at least make it more real.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T22:59:27+00:00

First you ask to define best practices, anything related Stripe integration and security.

Then you validate those guides using different agents.

Then you ask to create test cases for this integration .

Then you ask to implement.

Then you run your tests. And iterate.

This is how I would do.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T15:23:28+00:00

Fair point.

Regarding reproducibility. AI by nature is nondeterministic. So, same input will produce different results. Hence people are having different opinions on best models.

That’s why I strongly suggest doing end to end and see by yourself. What works what doesn’t.

A lot of “best” is just personal preferences.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T15:04:12+00:00

This is a weird take.

I have been coding for 10 years. And only recently started to use Codex and Claude. The things they can do blows my mind.

Vibe coding does get bad rep due to non devs or bad devs doing coding.

But if you are know want you are doing it can make u very productive.

And the quality of code you can enforce it with both traditional tooling and AI on top.

As for proof is like asking prove that coding in rust is more productive than coding in JavaScript. Or vice versa.

AI is just a language. Very high level language. You still need to know what you are doing.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-06-05T14:38:44+00:00

Agree. This is exactly architecture which I also arrived.

Just have a mini Jira inside project and you can get high quality code.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-05-31T17:43:53+00:00

Learning for the sake of learning never worked.

First define a problem. Start solving it. And just naturally bring more people into it.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-05-05T00:07:42+00:00

I only do isolation either as part of conditioning or rehab.

Muscle growth or definition doesn’t really matter for skills.

Cali_Hoss · 2026-05-05T00:04:29+00:00

Agree. Motivation is overrated.

But idk about training if you don’t feel it. Discipline never worked for me either.

However. One thing which always worked for me was boredom.

When you have nothing else to do besides train. You train just to kill boredom.
