I love Calisthenics, the different skills are just super cool and the training is so much fun to me. Yet, due to the nature of calisthenics exercises, the learning curve is much steeper. With this episode I want to help beginner athletes to get into it quickly and unlock their first skills, as well as more experienced athlete to learn advanced skills and improve the ones they’ve already unlocked.

If you want to squat, you grab a bar and squat, then you put weights on, and as you do that you get stronger. In the beginning, you might squat little weight, but you can squat. Calisthenics is different. Many people hit the gym and can’t do pull-ups, let’s not even talk about Front Levers or Handstand Push-Ups. So you can’t just get stronger by doing the specific movement. You need to break it down into easier elements, master those and then progress to the next level, until you are finally able to do the desired skill.

In this episode, we discuss that exact process. How it works to break down movements and what you need to look out for. Then I give you a template on how I program my calisthenics skill work in my own training, how I get after learning new skills and improving the ones I can do already.

This style of training really does help me to build the strength and skills necessary to progress on my calisthenics journey. I’m super happy to share it with you, may it help you to become a better athlete.
