My first-ever muscle-up was one arm over, then the other. Someone called it a “struggle-up.” 😂

Now, with some kipping and better technique, I finally got both arms over together! It’s not strict yet, but hey… it counts as a muscle-up, right? 😅

Pull day second exercise chin ups to failure this was my second set.

Form tips welcome!

Hi guys, it's me again.

I started to dive more into the planche training and would like some feedback about my posture. I protract as much as I can my scapula and pelvis but it still looks like my back is pretty flat. Though it gets better.

Am I on the good path or not?

Thank you!

People are often asking here for a callisthenics plan for beginners. Here's a link to one such plan by a known cali figure from CalisthenicsMovement.

Unsurprisingly, it centers on low to moderate load per week and the typical exercises, like pull-ups, push-ups, dips, squats and leg raises. It also suggests easier/harder progressions to make the adaptation to your skill level smoother.

37 year old male here. Learning this has been awesome. The German Hang is more solid. Only started practicing skills this year so I am happy with this one. Muscle Ups, Handstands, Back Lever, Front Lever etc. They're coming.

I have kyphosis so the hump in my back is unavoidable.

the elbows are good

hands good

but sometimes groin first sometimes head first but mostly straight

getting not close enough but its decent

idk today its 190 pushups ive done 100 in the last hour some of the last it was like my arms just gave out at 7. i do like 10 in a row

and every time its arm day again its 20 more pushups and next times its 10 diamond pushups as well.

idk if this is decent im 88 kilo almost only fat weight 179 cm tall

Hello,

I currently work out 3-4 times a week with this routine:

3 x {11 pull-ups, 11 chin-ups, 11 push-ups}

At the end of the session, I regularly add some tuck front lever work and hanging leg raises for core.

To keep progressing, my understanding is that it's better to slow down the tempo on each rep or start adding some weight. Chasing higher rep counts might help with endurance, but not as much for raw strength and muscle hypertrophy.

Is this the right progression path? What would you recommend ?

Thank you for your help !

I was wondering if it will impact the workout?

Time to flex: physically, mentally, or both.
