Calisthenics Unity

Damn you're nearing the 30 bro. Well tbh I would be like level 20 something if it wasn't for the muscle ups haha, my resistance band I had sadly broke so I'm waiting for a new one and I will start progressing up on levels again. It's strange, I was stuck on levels because of Pull, now I'm stuck because of Push. Seems like I'm progressing apart from the muscle up (although I'm sure when I go down to 10% body fat - which is my goal, I will be able to bust out a lot more of other harder exercises), everything feels easy now though but I still get burned out definitely. I remember wide pull ups were hard now they are bread and butter for me and strangely they are an amazing exercise, even though they are easy I feel it in my lats with just 1 rep. I can only imagine how hard the one arm chin up is or pull up whatever, so far I have accomplished the hold without holding myself (you know with fingers, but I do it with 1 finger most times) and the negative by using my other hand to make it a little easier, nowhere close near the OAPU, it needs so much pulling strength on the biceps and lats. Are you close to it or? For me it seems like I'm developed equally throughout my body haha. Salute bro!

I totally agree with you on wide pull-ups, I remember I used to do like 5 max(with momentum) and now I can hit 12 straight(without momentum/clean). Yeah, I would say I'm close to the one arm chin-up, I bet I'll get it in 3 months or less. You really wouldn't notice the difference just by looking at my body, but I'm very observant👀, specially of something you see everyday, lol. But I'm really balanced, I guess it's just me that wants more chest and biceps. But anyway, I'm just focused on being more explosive right now, specially on pull. Keep up the good work Gligor! Once you're able to do muscle ups without the resistance band. That's it, game over. Watch out people! Cause the freight train is coming through! BEAST MODE ACTIVATED!!! Salute!!!

Happy Birthday! Makes me feel very old, beeing twice that age, haha :D

Hahaha, thanks bro! Your not old, you're..............experienced😏

well, not in calisthenics ;)

Happy Birthday bro ! Wish you the best and keep up the great work. Salute 😁👊

Thanks bro, you too!

I don't have Facebook. You'll be able to see the photos in my transformation video.

Hahaha, yeah buddy, that's what I was thinking about. Thanks!💪🏼

Thanks man!

Christmas here is on the 7th January but happy Catholic Christmas Eve

Tennis elbow sucks ahh man. I think I actually have Golfer's elbow but it's really strange, in the past I would workout once and then not be able to workout 2 weeks, now I can workout for a week and then take 1-2 days rest for it to 'heal', I also started doing wrist curls, help a lot strengthening the surrounding muscles & tendons. My CU tank-top just received, it's so amazing whoa.. By the way, don't worry, I understand how you are, don't worry if it takes you a few weeks. :)

Daniel :-)
i think i speak for everybody when is say that it is no problem if you even would present us your video in march 2017. really. the most important thing is that you heal right. do not push yourself to much only for a video:-)! this should be no pressure. but i know you are a clever guy who knows what is his priority, healing and not a video!

salute!

Exactly like Joker said! <3
Hope you recover fast from the most annoying injury..

Yup haha. :D

I decided that my transformation will come September 2017, that way I still have more than half year and I started working out *hard* at like August/September so it will be a year even though I know Bar Brothers (Calisthenics Unity) for a bit longer than that. I realized I slacked off in October - November (school tests/exams) so I got really nervous and December I've gone insane for workouts haha. I actually reached level 19 without muscle ups (I do negatives instead) in a matter of 4-5 months and I'm very happy with my results so far, and the muscle up, well I think I have the strength but not the technique which I'm waiting on a resistance band. I recently did a straddle back lever negative with like 1s hold and I'm very happy about it :D.

Anyway, I wanted to ask: Do you sometimes slack off or were you always consistent? (Not including time being injured and/or sick)

I would definitely say so. Specially these last months. It's just that I've been super busy and if I were to calculate my total training time.............it would be around 8-9 months total(including formal rest days). So yeah, you try to do your best but you can only do so much. Still, it's no excuse! Let's go Bro!💪🏼

Yea I started feeling guilt because I could in fact workout but I didn't, well sometimes it's a matter of priority, I still want to have good grades, etc. But now I have time for everything. Yea you can only do so much haha. It's fine, if you're better then you were a month ago, a year ago, there's no need to feel guilt like I do haha.

Happy new year bro! I'm glad I'm a part of the mini group haha. Chris is a great inspiration to me, he got me into working out and changing my life and I'm forever grateful for that. I had a few days off just celebrating New Year's and so, but I got back today, finally have winter break so I can work very hard. I hope this year is gonna be the best for you! Salute!

I trained yesterday and I'm going to train today hahaha. Same to you Bro! I know this year is going to be great💥 for all of us! Salute!💪

Hey Daniel,
sorry for the late response but yesterday night was very busy :-D somethimes you also have to party :-D
eeehm yeah, thank you for your kind words. i really enjoy being part of this forum and special thanks to both of you, daniel and gligor, kind of sad that there is no option to have chat or something like that! maybe we could open an off topic thread? we could discuss, chat offtopic things in this chat and as a result the important training threads would not be full of spam. it is just an idea, looking forward to hear your opinion :-)

I thinks it's an excellent idea👌

Why not man. That would be great :)
