Calisthenics Unity

Yes, I mean.. you can gain muscles and cut at the same time, but it's a lot harder and more time consuming.

I have to eat more protein than carbs?

No, dude.. google is your friend bro, you need as much protein as the double of your weight, in grams, so if you weigh about 70 kg., then you need 140 g protein pr. day and carbs and so on, you need much more of, go take a test on google to get an idea.

Ye, I don't know.. I didn't feel too motivated today and I was really down, my body was slow and tired, but ye.. keep fighting Zakir, don't ever give up. Always fight that voice in your head, saying that you can not do something, that you can't take those sets/reps, don't ever listen to that, always listen to the voice of defiance, that lone voice in your head, telling you that you CAN do it, you CAN push a littler hard and you CAN run a little faster, keep pushing and never give up! - Keep it up brothers.

Its okey bro! cheer up! I didn't do too well too but I believe in you and all of us . It ain't about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward, thats how will is done :) Lets push forward! bar brothers all day everyday!

Salute brother

You mean "that's how winning is done", but ye, thanks bro :)

Your welcome bro! Yes winning is done sorry hahahaha XD . Because It sound like will is done kekekeke, All the best.
Salute brother!

Listen Patrick, you should be in now hurry ok. No one is putting pressure, as long as you do your best( and make sure of that) you will succeed. Slowly but surely.
Failing is part of success and everyone goes through it. So keep working hard man, keep it up, and never give up!!! BarBrothers ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!!

Sorry, I meant no hurry.

Good Justin! You can't expect to never fail a level, so it's perfectly normal. Now that you are entering intermediate levels, you need to expect to fail A LOT more. Don't be discouraged by it though! Just expect it and know that by failing, you are getting much stronger than you ever could without failing. Good luck my friend!

I am bulking at the moment and I try to eat like 3300 calories and of course the double of my bodyweight in protein, every day. I try to count an approx amount of calories I get with each meal, I don't do something big out of it, I look at the label and then I do some calculating quickly and say that I get about this amount of calories for this meal and so on.

Patrick, I think the answer is clear. Move on to level 12. It is EXTREMELY motivating to move on to a level you have never been, and since you have improved on level 11 so much, there is no point on holding yourself back any longer. You said it before, "You should always push your self by going as high and as far as you can possibly go whether you fail or not." Patrick, don't hold back. Move on and begin to perfect the next step!

Maybe, I am not sure yet, level 12 is a high step-up, and I rather improve a little bit more, than moving on and having a lot of trouble in 12, but ye.. maybe, I'll write it in here soon, which level I will take, it might be 12.

Sup Daniel..

Not the best, I have been in somewhat of a down period, yesterday I was in the gym, about to start level 12, but I just totally could not do Typewrite pull-ups what so ever, so I dropped it, my motivation for pure calisthenics is... lacking, right now I am thinking about mixing weight lifting and calisthenics for better results.

I can't do them either. I have failed Level 12 twice because of them... but if you decide to use weights as well, I see no problem at all. As long as you never give up, weight lifting is perfectly okay! In fact Patrick, I am probably going to start consuming supplements. I'm going to eat A TON of natural foods as well though and I will NOT turn in to one of those idiots that buys protein powder left and right.

Anyway, don't let this lower your spirts. If you decide to lift weights, I'll support you through it all. I think all of us will!

Lal, I have plenty of weight gainer and protein powder, I would never get the amount of calories I need without it, but ye. Appreciate the support bro.

It's sad bro. I love calisthenics, and if something is hard to learn, is better. More pain, more gain. Remember.

I'm doing calisthenics without lifting weight since 2 years. That's because i want to see how far i can go with my own bodyweight. Planche, Front Lever, ecc. Don't give up, bro!

I know, but I have different goals

goal 1. Get a great body, to feel better and inspire others
goal 2. Improve in strength, knowledge and flexibility
goal 3. Become a personal trainer

So, with these 3 main goals atm. It was never intented that I should only do calisthenics, I learn new exercises, gather knowledge and then uses it, going back to lifting weights and combining it with calisthenic and/or crossfit exercises is the way to go for me.

I know and of course, I will always be a Bar Brother :) Calisthenics has pushed me beyond my boundries many times and given me a whole new mentality, but overall, I need to mix things up to stay motivated and interested, there is so much to do when it comes to fitness, so I personally can't limit myself to just 1 kind of workout! But it's still awesome and maybe I will do more calisthenics when I get stronger by mixing it, getting to those more complicated exercises.

For sure! I wish you luck my friend. Whatever you choose, just promise me, and promise yourself that you will NEVER give up.

Meh who am I kidding. I already know you will never give up :D

Heh ye, I will most definitely never give up on my goals, that is for sure! :) and good luck to you aswell, though.. luck is not what we need, we only need hard work, sweat and a little faith ;)

Bro, there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking supplements, especially not from good brands. Also, I will never give up and I will always work hard, however, there is a lot more out there to do, I feel like, only doing calisthenics is like buying a PC and only play pacman, you know.. it's good and all, but there is so much more that you can do aswell.

Yeah Bro, I'm glad you're thinking that way. I never said taking supplements were wrong though. I just said I hoped that you know the things that will come later by you taking supplements. Whether it be haters, money and time consumption, or health issues(depends on the supplements). I know you will succeed if you keep working hard. So keep at it, and never give up! BarBrothers ALL DAY EVERYDAY!! Salute!!

Sure man, I'll gladly keep updating here, I am supposed to workout with a buddy today, doing some weight-lifting, and then tomorrow I will be putting together a program that combines the two workouts, where I will still focus on "push and pull" when I put it together.

You mean buddy? That's good to hear man, keep it up. BarBrothers ALL DAY EVERYDAY!! Salute!!

Yes, minor typo.
