I bought your mobilityand calisthenics program and I'm half way through phase 2 of the mobility program. This exercise and its variations is still to this day the hardest, but has produced the most benefits in ALL calisthenics exercises. I didn't realize how much energy overall is wasted from having weak compression. Thank you!

Hey El Eggs and Sven!! Just a quick comment to let you know my high school age sons and I are deep into your Complete Calisthenics course. We started that after completing your Home Workout. In the pandemic their physical education became almost non-existent, so I took it over and told them they were going to exercise with me. You should see them do pull-ups now. Enough to make a father cry with pride. When we started they couldn't even do one. Your programs are great. Thank you.

2:07 i always wondered about static vs dynamic versions of the same exercise (or should i say posture?). I was doing dynamic exercises like Cilimove programs and static ones like yoga postures and I couldn't tell the difference in terms of improved strength and well being. In terms of difficulty, maybe dynamic ones were a bit more difficult to perform, but not that much.

The guideline is that you train the movement. If you want static strength, you do static exercise. And for dynamic you do dynamic. For muscle building there is some evidence that they wouldn't be very different.

I struggled with pistol squats for a long time. About a year ago I started doing this very exercise, after finding an older video of you demonstrating it. After consistently performing it for a little over a month, I attempted pistol squats again and was able to do 5 in one go. That was after not even being able to do 1. Turns out my leg strength was always there, I just lacked in this type of mobility. This is a legit exercise and fixed so many issues I had. Also noticed lower back pain I would sometimes get completely went away. Great stuff as always!

I like this stuff but it looks like murder on your lower spine. I did hand stand pushups for years until I started getting nerve problems that led to pain, then muscle weakness, then some atrophy in left shoulder. Then same in left glute, sciatica. Had MRI on shoulder to confirm no muscle torn. I think it's all pinched nerves and herniated disks and such. Once muscle atrophies things move around too much. I try to work the muscles but the same nerve issues come back and muscle gets weak. Bummer.
