It's a great video but you could talk about the fact next time that when you are an intermediate or advanced athlete then it's true that you are getting no progress or even getting weaker when you train for certain days or periods. Sometimes it's a win just to get out of the gym without injuries or getting sick and being able to put in the work consistently even if you are getting weaker because of a bit overtraining, smaller injuries or not optimal programming.

You dont appear to be breathing correctly. Before each set? You need to take in a deep breath and hold it while you perform the movement.. the oxygen is also key to growth. And its specific. If you dont fill your lungs prior to a set and hold it in. Your muscles will tend to get flat, instead if expanding ... Its the pump that is key also...

There's a name for this phenomenon: LATENT POTENTIAL: the first few weeks to couple of months the body is awakening its baseline physical abilities, so there's rapid progress. Beyond that, one must "defy the base design margin" to go further, and that's a battle.

This is true for any skill; jujitsu, weight training, boxing, fencing, archery, horse riding, chess, typing, playing a musical instrument,...... One makes obvious progress during the first year, after which one's progress appears comparatively reduced but is in fact only becoming less chunky as adjustments become finer and more detailed, and improvements likewise become finer and more detailed. It is not that the rate of progress slows down; rather, it is similar to acceleration feeling physically faster than motion at a steady speed. The progress across the landscape at a steady speed is just as rapid as when accelerating, even more so, but it becomes a different kind of progress, is felt and observed differently, and requires finer, more focused and careful adjustments. Comparing our self to our self, month after month as we progress, then our progress seems to be slowing, but compared to a stationary position such as to someone else who is not partaking in the same pursuit or compared to our self at commencement of our pursuit, then one's progress continues to be moving rapidly. So, the apparent slowing of progress is largely illusory due to our mistaken use of different reference points and not recognising the difference between acceleration and speed.

Thank you for always being honest on your fitness journey, as well as sharing your wisdom! I think the same applies to every other disciplines, whether it's dancing, swimming, studying, playing an instrument,... We progress pretty fast at the Beginner phase. However, things change when you reach the Intermediate phase, this is where most people give up. You realize that the intensity of the training/learning alone is not enough, it requires discipline, proper rest, consistency and most importantly: patience, just to see a little progress. I call this the Infinite Intermediate Plateau. Once you have overcome that, you reach the Advanced phase. This is where you can truly start to call yourself as "Good" at your practice. And even then, there are still so much more to learn, and you still find yourself going back to the Basic Foundations from time to time. No matter where you are right now in your journey, be Patient and Compassionate to yourself ❤

My guys I’m so glad you said that. I started calisthenics 5 months ago. 3 months in and I thought to myself, “am I failing? What am I doing wrong? Why am I not getting better?” Truth is, I just needed to be patient, if will show itself soon enough. Sometimes I felt like quitting because it felt like no matter how hard I try I’m not seeing results. But I kept going. I’m 5 months in and looking back to when I started, I made significant progress and I’m doing things I’d never thought I do. Patience is the worst obstacle of all. Keep fighting through it and before you know it. You’ll be a different man

It’s like this with everything. I teach guitar and it is crazy how much you can learn and improve in a couple years but after 5 years of hard work, it seems to take another 5 years just to make small improvements. You might go from never playing before to playing licks at 180 beats per minute in 5 years… And then it might take you another 5 years to get those licks to 190 bpm and you might never get them over 200 bpm no matter how many years you practice.

Great vid. Yup, it happens in everything we do, so this is great life advice. A lot of people get addicted to the high of the progress, and once that goes away and the “boredom” of the plateau sets in, they lose interest. I’ve seen it so often with so many people in so may things- exercise, Rugby, mountain biking, boxing, judo, relationships, and even my profession as a lawyer. Learning how to accept that slow down in the rate of progression, or perhaps even a plateau, and how live within that, is tough, but is also essential if you want to stick with something for the long run.

Very inspiring channel! 💯 I started calisthenics in November last year after doing the 100 push-ups a day for 30 days challenge. I’ve been hooked ever since and it has changed my life and I can keep this going my whole life unlike heavy weight training. Highly recommend sticking at the basic movements and just do more reps. It’s also better for your joints too. Here’s my current workout plan that I’ve tried a few but I think this is my final. Well for now 😂 Upper Pull-ups Push-ups Dips Shoulder press Hanging leg raises Lower Squats Romanian deadlift Split squat or pistol squats Calves raises Hanging leg raises I do upper and lower body splits as full body was getting harder as my reps went up. I do this like 4 times a week along with running once or twice a week. But take longer rests if my body needs it. My reps go between 50, 100 or 200. Lower reps for pull-ups than push-ups. Higher reps for legs unless I decide to use heavier weights I do 50 reps. I usually do 5 reps x10 sets for pull-ups and 10 reps x10 or x20 sets for push-ups and shoulder press and legs. This is such a great way to build muscle and lose weight and feel super energetic. Definitely worth trying this for 1 or 2 months if you are looking to get in great shape with little equipment, you can do this at a park with a resistance band and a tree or at a gym with dumbbells and pull-up bar. 🔥

I mean that makes total sense. Are there people out there who thought they would improve rapidly forever? I mean a quick analysis of strength training will tell you that you won't improve rapidly forever. Whenever you do strength training, whatever level you are at you push yourself to increase your ability. How do you accomplish this on a consistent basis? By adding resistance, obviously; how do you add resistance? By adding an opposing force, usually weights. Calisthenics is a form ofstrength training that focuses on body weight exercises, isometric exercises and muscle isolation. Weights can be used in a limited number of exercises once you acclimate to your body weight. There is a lot of exercises with which you cannot use weights and/or cannot add resistance to in any effective way. Thus the time-frame for those rapid gains is largely limited to that period in which you acclimate to your body weight. After that comes the really tough part, consistency with less results. After you've acclimated try alternating days of explosive training with days of ultra slow repetitious training. The really great thing is if you can manage this over a long period of time your muscles begin to develop that "rugged strength" for lack of a better term. Basically it is the strength gained through years of consistent use and repeated use. Your muscles will have both explosive power and incredible stamina. To me this just seems obvious but there I have said it here as well for anyone who was feeling frustrated or like they hit the ceiling. Just remember, ther is no ceiling! Limits like these only exist to be broken! Cheers, take care!

I've noticed this with myself recently. My progression has slowed down significantly. However, I started adding some weight training into my routine as well as some other exercises. All in all, even a little bit of improvement is still progress. Just keep moving forward!

I would add; this is not just for calisthenics. This is for almost all skills in life. Be ready for countles plateaus.. but stick at it
