Calisthenics Unity

Awesome job my man. I haven't worked out at the pull up bar for a few days because of tremendous rain, but today even though it's raining I'll workout outside, no excuses, I saw that the weather isn't gonna get any better so today I said what's the big deal, work has to be done. Probably gonna hit lvl 16 or something, you know as an Endomorph bodyweight exercises are harder since we're heavier both on bones but also tend to have fat, but still no excuses haha.

Also one interesting topic I read, I read about muscle loss, and how if you gain let's say 4-6kg of muscle in 6 months and then stop working out you supposedly 'lose' the muscle, and then start working out again you gain it all back in like a much faster period, let's say 2 months instead of 6. That's called 'muscle memory', and if you lose muscle while you're cutting, you will probably gain it back very fast because of that so called muscle memory. Just an interesting topic I liked to share idk why lol.

Salute!

Hahahaha, I did find it interesting! Yeah, my brother was meso but looked like an endo............if you know what I mean. He had a hard time doing calisthenics as well. But the way I see it, if you lift more, you gain more! Good luck with level 16 today! Salute!

Right.. Even a tiny 2kg makes a significant difference :( Oh well, time to lose those last few kgs haha. Well lvl 16 wasn't that hard but I definitely can't go to lvl 17 because of the muscle ups of course, I only have so much strength for the muscle up for my body weight (even with a resistance band). I seriously can't wait to see you transformation video man.

Hahahaha, thanks Bro, me too!

I've been following Chris's program for 8 months now. I don't really have like a routine, I pretty much workout whenever I can. I like to do Legs and Core on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And I workout Pull on Tuesday and Saturday. And I workout Push on Thursday. But the next week I workout Push on Sunday or Monday and Thursday or Friday. And I work Pull on Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday. Now this isn't accurate. It's just an example. However this is Accurate: I workout Legs and Core 4 times a week, I workout Push and Pull two times a week, and I do cardio 3 times a week. From that, I arrange my week according to my schedule. For example, yesterday I did Legs, Core, and Pull of Level 26. Since I had to do muscle ups anyway I decided to "push" Push over to Wednesday. Which means I'll do Pull on Thursday and Push on Saturday. Was I able to explain myself? I know confusing but it works! Hahahaha

First and foremost, thank you! Second of all, no, I don't do full body workouts anymore(I don't have the time). And yes, Hahahaha, you still get gains if you do splits. Right now I'm mostly working on cutting/shredding so that my gains look more impressive but I'm still bulking(sort of). It's hard to explain, it's called a lean bulk: gain muscle while losing fat. It's a hard and slow process, but it's totally worth it! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress as well! Good luck, and remember....................BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!

Damn man hope you get better fast! My throat has been hurting me and been coughing a lot but that's because I sang a lot lol. Oh so we're born the same month haha. This month and a half is gonna be hell for me but it will be damn worth it. I'm gonna go all out on torching body fat but I also have a lot of exams coming up (surprisingly I have 11 A's and just 1 B so I'm doing more than great at school lol) but school really isn't a problem for me. I worked out Pull & Core (I know weird but I couldn't do Push & Pull because it was too hard for me) yesterday, and everything felt easier at the pull up bar (even hanging) so my guess is I'm losing fat again. Man time is really valuable and going very fast, I hope to be able to do the requirements till New Year's. I mean I could do them with a resistance band but of course it doesn't count, so that's why I'm looking to go down on weight, like that's my #1 reason, #2 is of course muscle definition haha. Like you usually don't see overweight people doing explosive stuff or even double-digit pull ups, or intermediate exercises, but I'm here doing one leg out front lever, superman push ups, and I'm still overweight to a point where even 2kg makes a lot of difference, and I can't imagine what I'll do when I get down to 10% body fat. Ok. NO MORE IMAGINING, time to get it! haha. Salute bro!

Hahaha, that's it bro, go get em! Oh, btw, doing push or pull and legs or core isn't weird at all. Lol, your grades though👌🏼. Let's do this!

recently with me as well bro, salute todays the day I'm getting back into it.

Salute!

That's kind of right. You do 3-6 sets, not reps, and after your 6 set(or the last one that you did) you do an extra set where you do max reps. Literally until you can't anymore. Hope I helped! Good luck!

P.S. The video is also to promote Calisthenics Unity, not me as a member, but the program as a whole. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for Chris, so I believe the right thing to do is promote the program and not myself. I'm just a guy that got lucky enough to find the program. Thanks again.

Wow daniel, I think your transformation video will be an amazing inspiration to everyone in the forum (maybe even for chris😎). And I also have a question for you, does your transformation video is for finishing the program or for an amount of time your in calisthenics?? Salute and good luck!!

Yam, that's an interesting way to do a transformation video, about finishing the program haha.

And well, it's up to you Daniel, I never think people that uploaded a transformation video do it for the actual fame (of course they thought about it), I think it's to show that it's possible to change your life and it's never too late, at least 90% of the transformation videos do that instead of the fame. I think calisthenics transformations also want to prove that it's possible to change your body just with a few bars and no expensive gym memberships. And the people that are doing it for the fame, eventually it will catch up to them and they will start acting like douchebags and lose all friends & everything in life..

Exactly

I really hope so Yam. The truth is that I got a little discouraged and demotivated because my transformation doesn't compare to Chris's or even Daniel's. But then I realized that it's not about comparing myself to Chris or Daniel or Lazar or Dusan or IVAN or many other calisthenics guys. The thing was, like Gligor said, to simply show that a guy can transform his body just using bars and natural homemade food(and discipline and willpower ofcourse!). And that's really what I think I've done here, so even if I don't look like Chris or Daniel after almost a year of training, I really don't care. It's not about comparing me to them, it's about comparing where I was a year ago, to where I am now. So I hope I can motivate you guys to keep going hard and never giving up. It's so so important to stay determined and to BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!

Daniel Malo, but I don't have any vids so you won't be able to find it I guess. My profile pic is the same as here.

Thanks Bro, you too! Salute!👊🏼

Thank you too! I really think that this forum is just a bunch of guys, really brothers to me, that want to help each other out. And I think that's what a forum should be like in reality. Thanks again.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do. I'm really hoping Chris will share his thoughts as well.

Hahahah, well thank you! I'm glad I and Gligor could motivate you. Start your own transformation now!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Awesome bro! I can't wait to see your journey, I can only guess it's gonna be really epic & motivational! Salute!

Thanks bro, I hope so!

sounds great!!

Thanks
