...and here I'm a 45ish fat man and I'm watching two grand masters and I can't do a passive hang on the bar for 30 sec...I feel so weak ,I have so much work to do...by the way you guys are so great on teaching movements the right way,thank you so much

In my opinion: high bodyweight reps at the basic movements, with good form and no feeling of discomfort, are the basic for a good calistenics athlete. Maybe mix it up with some weighted calistenics for the fun, but keep focus on mastering the bodyweight with good to perfect form. Will take years. You can only run, when you are able to walk. You can only sprint, when you are able run.

The candor and frank/fearless self-assessment is so inspiring, especially in one so young. Bravo to both of you.

First minute he mentioned golfers elbow from pullups. Exactly the problem I have been running into for over a year. I really hope this is talked about as I keep watching.

YES!!! 💕💪 I'm barely 2mins in, and Gabo is talking sooooo much sense. As an "advanced beginner" it is so good to hear an expert saying these things. I'm tall and female and have struggled with push ups my whole life. But a while ago I decided to ditch my ego and regress right back to a move I could do with good form. I spent time working on countertop push ups, progressing to negative knee push ups, then full knee push ups. I can now do really solid, controlled knee push ups, and confident if I keep practicing consistently solid, controlled full push ups will be next.

Loved this interview! So many truths and helpful insights on how to train calisthenics with longevity of training in mind. One of my key takeaways that I plan to experiment with more - gearing my warm up routine to be more specific to my working set exercises and not do such an extensive warm up routine to the point of fatiguing my muscles prior to the working sets. I intuitively started doing this a few months ago. Prior to cutting back my warm ups, I was doing a very comprehensive warm up/prehab routine that was taking me at least 20 minutes prior to my working sets, and was seeing a lack of progress. Since scaling back my warm up routine, gains have started to come back slowly.

I'm just coming back from 5 months injured and this is the perfect reminder to take my time. I'm feeling better but there is no rush to get back to the level I was before. I'm just happy to be able to train again!

13:29-17:03 VERY important!!! This is the longterm thinking!

This was SUPERB! Many Thanks to both of you guys, hope to see more of these💪🏼🤙🏻👏🏼 Fuerte abrazo a La Familia Saturno Mov!

Thanks this chat help me to stay more time on the progressions rather than if im able to do the next one do it Great podcast guys, 2 of my favorites in the calisthenics world 🙌🤝

Love seeing you 2 together.

Excellent episode- thank u both! 🤩

KBoges will be a fantastic next guess if you’re looking for one !

Excellent conversation, thank you my brothers!

Loved this one! Was getting very good at following my program and then really wanted to get the muscle-up, started including some reps on top of my program and got the muscle-up but couple days on and injured my wrist, since then I learnt my lesson I had to go back to basics and when I will get back into muscle up training I will be sure to include the right exercises in my program to build the basoc strength instead of random reps here and there! Thanks all the valuable info!

Really nice, wanna see k boges on podcasts, he has pretty interesting approach on training

Thanks for video! 👍💪
