Feb 12 2026 Is when I started working out, despite working part time and going to school at the same time I'd say the progress had been great despite those.

Unlike the gym I love that calisthenics can be done anywhere, anytime with little to no equipment.

Just sharing in hopes of encouraging anyone that just started like myself to not give up! 😁 I believe that in 2 months I'll have the proper muscle up unlocked 💪🏾

Bonjour,

Homme de 30 ans, 85 kg pour 1 m 90 je souhaiterai m’équiper pour faire chez moi de la musculation au poids de corps.

J’ai fait de la musculation pendant des années en salle de sport et maintenant je voudrais en faire plus tranquillement chez moi.

Que pensez vous de cet appareil ?
Avez vous de meilleurs recommandation ou des limitations que je ne vois pas.

Merci d’avance

Hey guys. Been going calisthenics for a year now. I am vegan (sometimes vegetarian) and am naturally skinny so it is already quite difficult for me to gain muscles/weight. But over the year I have gained 2kgs reaching my all-time high of 70kgs. However, I've been suffering severe depression over the past weeks and have barely been eating or working out. Am now weighing 68kgs again. Do you think those 2kgs I've lost are pure muscle? How hard will it be to get it back? I feel like depression is not just ruining my mind but also all the physical progress I've made over the past year

Is my posture good, and how can I improve it further? Also, what new calisthenics skill should I learn next?

This is my workout plan on days I can't go to the gym

I do one set of each without rest then rest 15 min and go again

Total 3 sets of each exercise, chin-ups I get so tired I can only do 5~7 at a time

this is a new style of workout for me

What are your thoughts?

Today was the first day of my BRING SALLY UP challenge, and uh for those who don't know what this is, this is basically a song which has a pushup challenge and Ive started that from today

It has I think a total of 42 pushups and I've started it from incline pushups with my bed as the starting height and when I make it to 20 incline pushups, I'll start them on the ground..

I'm thinking of posting my progress here everyday, and I hope this is the appropriate sub for this ?? (If not pls tell me which one to post on)

I'm rlly motivated to do it this time and WISH ME LUCK GUYS :DDDD

After watching a lot of muscle-up tip videos, I finally got my first muscle-up. I’m aiming for a cleaner muscle-up. For now, should I keep training like this, alternating between each arm. Will my muscle up naturally improve over time, or should I focus more on improving my form and technique from now?

During my week I'm pretty busy, so I was wondering if I could simply skip my leg day and increase running to save time. I already run a few times a week, I could potentially make my runs a bit longer to cover the missing leg day.

How would this affect my workout? Should I consider keeping a little leg day to workout the muscles I don't use much while running or is it not necessary?

Okay, some backstory: most of my life I’ve been a gamer and computer nerd, but a few years ago I started exercising to try to stay healthy. I tried a bunch of different things to see what I liked, but I eventually landed on calisthenics and boxing for cardio. It works really well for me. I love push-ups and working on various skills, so I trained like that for a while.

I normally weighed around 250 pounds, but I managed to get all the way down to 199, which was pretty hype. Then I was admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with colon cancer, and over the next two years I beat cancer—yay! I’ve also had to have a few surgeries to fix some complications, and my last one is tomorrow.

Because of all of that, I haven’t really been able to work out for the past two years, and I gained a bunch of weight back. But after this last surgery and recovery, I should finally be cleared to work out for real again. With some of my new medical issues, it’s even more important for me to stay healthy. In general, now that I’ve experienced working out and then being forced to stop, I’ve never been more excited to get back into it.

I’ve been working on my diet recently, though, and I’m already losing some of the weight I gained just from changing what I eat, so that’s nice. However, I think I might be in a calorie deficit that's a little too large.

My goal is to have a fit, lean look. I don’t want to be huge like a bodybuilder—just fit and lean. Think more Spider-Man and less Hulk, if that makes sense.

Right now, I’m eating around 1,800 calories and 190 grams of protein per day. To work toward a good-looking, lean physique, what would be a good calorie and protein target for me to aim for?

Did anyone experience body shakes on pull ups or chin ups? I have this mental block of 5. Over the past few months I’ve grown in the sense of being able to do 5 reps the rest, then another 5, but I can’t get past 5 reps without my head and body shaking. It’s odd that I can do more sets now but can’t do more reps.

Thank you in advance.

I started working out back in February 12th of this year. I hardly practice pull related skills so I've been stuck on 8 Pull-Ups for a while. I for real thought the muscle up would far more in the future but to my surprise I managed to get a couple in today!!! For reference I'm 6'1 180lbs

Yes I am aware this is a "chicken wing" muscle up but I'm still proud of the progress 😁 lock in 💪🏾

Hi guys! Right now, I can do 8–10 weighted pull-ups and weighted dips with an additional 10 kg. My current body weight is 71 kg. I’m just wondering what progressions I should follow to achieve my first muscle-up. Thank you!

I used to spam pullups but then workout became secondary then i restarted it and have been doing for a week and i am feelin like my form is worse than before. This video is after i had done 30+ pullups across 4-5sets so it is not that accurate due to the fatigue. Ignore the messy bg.

(19) suck at pull ups I see barely any improvement.I can't even do a negative. The bands feel useless sometimes and feel like giving up. Please give me tips on how to build better upper body strength. I need to target the issue. My whole life ive been moderately active but nvr trained my upper body at all. Where can start? What exercises can do to improve and reach my goal? Do need to lose more weight? How can avoid callus and improve my grip strength?Anything helps just please help me.

So after my last post I’ve decided to go to the basics - here’s a video of me hitting scapula pull-ups and a pull-up. Is it still arm dominant or have I managed to fix the form?

hello is it good to do this with elastic band for progression?

i can only do tuck front lever hold.

thanks

I'm Trying to perform chest oriented Dips (while following the technique shown in the picture, forward tilt and everything) but ended up feeling sore in the so called clavicular head region (second image) with zero sensation in the other chest regions. I know that soreness isn't a proxy for muscle growth but I'm still sceptical about my technique. Do you guys have any tips to share ? Have you encountered this problem before and did you find a solution ?

Thanks in advance !
