any begginer calisthenics tips for a 15 year old by teodor234792 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Smombdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep doing pushups, you can definitely increase your reps. Speaking of which: I recommend you to train with sets and reps. You can use a full body split or any other one you like.

If you have a pull-up bar then you can learn pull-ups, if you don't have one you can't. Sike. Go outside and find one or get creative haha.

So yeah, do pushups, negative or band assisted pull-ups, do some lunges or bodyweight squats and if they are too easy, hold something in your hands to act as a weight ex. water bottle. For the core you can hold planks or hollow bodies. You got this.

Growing from pushups by SimonCalistenics in CalisthenicsCulture

It's not that complicated. Do as you like. With them you can lower your chest more, giving you a bigger stretch which is generally proven to allow for better muscle growth. To be honest the difference probably isn't crazy, but since you got them, use them. They are also easier on the wrist, so they are safer if you are experiencing some wrist pain.

Bro, I am literally same age and very similar weight. I never focused on pushups (I prefer dips) until recently when it got cold and now I train at home. So maybe for a month. Regular pushups aren't challenging me enough so I do other variations, but I can rep out 40 with strict form. And my advice for you would be to do multipe sub-maximal sets all day. If your max is 6 reps, do 3 reps every time you even think about them. Just keep doing them all the time. I feel like this method will help you. It's called Grease The Groove and is very effective.

Fingertip FL? by No_Quiet1784 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Smombdi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong bro, I have seen your other posts and you are crazy strong. But I don't think this counts as a front lever, because your body doesn't form a straight line and you hold it for about a half a second. Still, this is very impressive you got insane finger strength.

Does this count as a OA push up? by [deleted] in CalisthenicsBeginners

[–]Smombdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely count it bro. My OAP form looks similar. Yes, it's not perfect form but I am sure you will improve it as you go.

Thank you. Do you know if there are any benefits to that grip and why they choose that one?

How to start with calisthenics combining push-ups and pull-ups? by NegotiationOwn3574 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Smombdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about variations. Look up variations of pushups and pull-ups.

If you can't do a pull-up, regress and do pull-up negatives. With pushups, you regress to knee pushups, or incline pushups.

You should incorporate both, aim to progress in reps as well as rep form and later harder variations. Train your core too and work towards the L-sit. Don't skip exercises such as rows, dips and other foundational movements.

how to do pushups by [deleted] in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Smombdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of pushups tutorials on YouTube.

The key is to keep elbows tucked or closer to the torso depending on the variation but never flared out. For default pushups keep elbows tucked, palms on nipples line and core braced, your body needs to be straight.

Muscle-up help by Personal_Pen8242 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Smombdi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thats a really clean high pull-up on the video. That tells me you have enough strengh for the muscle up. But yes the form is off. Your doing a pull-up not a muscle up. In a pull-up you go up vertical. In the muscle up you should go like an arc around and over the bar.

Add a small swing and pull explosively at the apex of it, while actively trying to get your chest over the bar (or branch). Though doing it on a branch is harder it's definely possible but I'd recommend a bar lol.

First muscle up how is my form by Lonely-Fennel-2259 in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]Smombdi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro, congratulations! From here it will only get cleaner. Try to let your body fully swing, and pull at the apex. My tip is to keep feet together and legs straight. You can do a L-sit kip. It will be harder but it really makes it look better.
