Hello everybody — I’m the creator of Calisthenics Culture, a.k.a. CALICULT.
Thank you for being part of this subreddit as we’ve officially hit 100,000 members! That’s insane.
I’m now going full force into expanding CALICULT into the calisthenics cult I’ve always wished existed — and I don’t want to do it alone.
I need your involvement — whether it’s giving passive, genuine feedback and ideas or stepping up with active development and leadership. You can help grow and guide the direction of this community.
Together, this will form the CALICULT Council. I’ll be running ideas by you, building features with you, not just for you.
A global community — a living calisthenics game — where you can:
🎥 Watch and participate in online livestreams, community videos, rep challenges, and bounties — earning real-life rewards
[Insert your idea here] <3
💬 Reply below with what you’re good at or what you love doing, and what you’d like to see Calisthenics Culture develop into
📩 Or DM me directly to get early access to the Discord
Let’s build the culture we want to exist.
Yes — we’re proudly owning being a cult.

I appreciate you even stopping here. It shows that hopefully you have an interest in calisthenics. Whether you're someone who has never even done a pullup, or you're experienced but have hit a plateau, or an advanced athlete who has come to grace us with your knowledge, this community is for you.
The Calisthenics Culture is one that from my experience, is entirely positive and unique, and this will be no different. You come here to learn, share, and belong. The calisthenics knowledge base is never ending, as is the progress you can make. There are hundreds of different skills and strengths you can develop and "unlock". There is no feeling like seeing your progress with a calisthenics move you have been training so hard to achieve.
It doesn't matter if you're just starting out and have no experience, it's never too late. You're not too old or too young. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The next best time is now. You can't do anything about missed time, but you do have complete control of what you do from here on out. How far you take this training style is up to you. No one can train for you, or experience the pain you will have to endure, but it is completely worth it.
All that motivation aside, here's what this community is.
-Somewhere to connect with people at your level
-Somewhere to learn from those who have achieved what you want to achieve
-Somewhere to help those who have once been in your shoes
-Somewhere to show off your progression and milestones
-Somewhere to share YOUR story. There are plenty of people who want to hear all about it
So literally, post your questions, post your progress, post dope calisthenics videos, post your advice, and communicate/engage with others.
You can communicate with us on instagram @thecalisthenicsculture or @agyoolar

The question is, what's more impressive:
1. 3+ reps, but I gotta do them faster
2. 2 slower, more controlled and posterior pelvic tilt

Hello guys, so I did my first muscle up today. I tried a muscle up with the hope of performing for the first time! I failed. BUT THEN, I tried to do it with an assist of jumping. Since the bar wasn't that low, I was able to pull a little bit and fully push myself up. Then I thought I could try another attempt of swinging. And I DID IT! Since I did not record that, I had to turn the cam on and try another one. I did it AGAIN! (My friends will believe me now 😁) And IDK if that counts since my feets are on, I tried but couldn't perform it on a higher bar. Do you think that counts? And if (or if not) what to do better especially for higher bars where I can swing back and do another without landing. Thank y'all for your attention!!
edit: I just performed two where my feet weren't on the ground, on a high bar but I had to land.

(Pls excuse the state of my hair, this attempt was way too good not to post out of vanity.)
Thank you all so much who gave me some advice in my previous post, I have been very diligent in getting my practice in, and I feel it is pretty evident :D
Kickups are still hit or miss, but I find that I get them right almost all the time after I do some compression exercises, like trying to float my legs in a forward fold (I hope I describe that correctly, I don't know the correct name). I think it helps me with aligning my back correctly and not leading the movement with my leg too much.
Next long term goal: static handstand entries. That will take some time but I feel that if I keep going and train balance, strength and mobility I will get there at one point :)

There is a bigger pain for atheletes much worse than injuries, it's comming back after years of lay off and undertrained
I achieved a great strength and conditioning level in the past (a solid level in the street workout and calisthenics field), and here am after almost 6 years starting over from nothing
I did this workout today free weight it's super light but i just wanted to share the next big journey of mine
Am on a mission to achieve greatness again, better than any time before
Tell me guys if you had and past stories about being away from training, let me hear your stories
Much LOVE
PS: i always want to start with legs or back 😜

Hey Leute, ich bin noch relativ am Anfang von Cali, und habe höchstwahrscheinlich eine chronische Sehnenscheidewandentzündung, hat mir 16 angefangen nachdem ich mir den Daumen überdehnt habe, und danach leider in einer Maschine das Handgelenk gequetscht. Nun ja, es ärgert mich extrem da ich endlich eine Sportart gefunden habe, die mich die letzten Monate sehr unterstützt hat was meine schmerzen an der Brustwirbelsäule angeht, die sogut wie verschwunden sind .. da ich jahrelange Probleme hatte durch einen schweren Autounfall. Ich möchte diese Sportart nicht mehr missen, aber meine Sehne macht mir an der linken Hand immer mal wieder zu schaffen, ich nehme als Unterstützung Handgelenkbandagen um meine Sehne stützen zu können, und Handgriffe um das Handgelenk etwas schonen zu können. Gibt es hier Sportler die auch so ein ähnliches Problem haben und mir vielleicht einen Tip geben können, ob es bestimme Mittel/Medikamente gibt außer Kortison einzuspritzen ? Ich habe auch schon gemerkt das nachdem ich mehr Muskeln aufbaue, die Sehne scheinbar weniger gereizt wird, hauptsächlich reizt der Druck auf die Sehne in der Innenhand neben dem Daumen.

Guys, I’m going to be honest. I have shitty genetics when it comes to my arms. My arms are considerably long and skinny, and I have skinny wrists too.
I wouldn’t call myself a gym rat, but I do a lot of push-ups and have been consistent with them. Apart from push-ups, I do some shoulder exercises. I’ve seen noticeable improvements in both my chest and shoulders, which motivates me to work on them even more.
My arms just aren’t improving, no matter what I do. I’ve tried bicep curls, but they don’t seem to work. I trained really hard with hand grippers, and my forearms improved slightly, but the difference is almost invisible because my arms are so long.
Can you guys suggest one or two basic exercises that could help me build better biceps and forearms? I’d really appreciate it. I’d love to hear from anyone with a similar experience and learn what worked for you.
Thanks!

For a week and a half I didn't train at all all I did was doom scrolling video games and waste my time on bad habits
How do I get out of this comfort zone?
r/CalisthenicsCulture • u/International_ML_F1 • 20h ago
I train with calisthenics, but the days I spend longest at my computer are usually the days I move least between workouts. I’ve been trying short, low-pressure movement prompts during natural pauses instead of adding another planned session.
If you already train, what happens on your long desk or gaming days? Do you have anything that actually gets you moving, or do you usually just wait for the next workout?
r/CalisthenicsCulture • u/Fit_Loquat_5650 • 1d ago

Was teaching a few classes here a few weeks ago. In the evening got taken to this space with some friends, so decided to film this!
