I'll be doing the Calisthenics Unity Requirements this week. I'm going to film it on HD, horizontally, and hopefully finish on two minutes while still keeping good form. I think I'll upload it on YouTube as my first video! I'll send it here so you guys can see it, hopefully Chris too. Wish me luck guys!!!
Sick !! Can't wait to see it.

Wow, just read this thread. Amazing journey Daniel. Well done! Lots of respect. How have you found having only one day off between workouts? Did you feel it was enough time for your body to recover? I am only on the trial now and this point is worrying for me. When I started out one day was enough but now I find that if I exercise the same muscle I need at least 2 or 3 days to recover, and rebuild, the muscle. Anyway, best of luck with the video!
Thank you Abrazor for your words, they are inspiring and motivating to me. Well, you might need to rest for two days if it'd the same muscle group(color on the pdf) if your new to this. Then you can start resting only one day. My personal reccomendation to you is this
Monday: Push and Pull
Tuesday: Legs and Core
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Push and Pull
Friday: Legs and Core
Saturday: Rest
And then you switch days for the next week, starting with Push and Pull on Sunday and so on and so forth. Thank you again, the video will be out next week hopefully. I didn't have time to film it this week as I said I would because of some unexpected events. But hopefully by the next week it'll be out. Thx. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!

Hey everyone, I regret to inform you guys that I will not be filming the requirements video this week. I really really want to, and I promise you guys that it will come out soon(hopefully next week)! I've just had a hell of a week and it's been really though just to even train😕. Well, I really don't want any of you guys thinking that I don't want to do the video or anything like that. It's just that I've been extremely busy of late; and also, this would be my first YouTube video. And I'm not sure about other people, but for me, it is extremely important to get as many things right the first time. I really want to do things with excellence. So, the video will come out soon, just give me some time guys. Until then, keep working hard Bros!
Well it's fine. As long as it's professionally made we don't have a problem. Like you said excellence. Can't wait to see it, I will do one too soon enough, just need to work on my muscle ups & pistol squats form more (I still use a resistance band for muscle ups, I can only do 2-3 muscle ups without one, after all I weigh 80kg with 16% bf so I'm kinda still overweight, but no excuses haha). Salute!
Daniel Malo
Thanks bro, you keep going at it. Of course I'm going to film it professionally🎥!! Hahahaha

Hey Chris, I have a question for you. Do you think it's a better idea for me to film my transformation video first and then film the requirements after that? It's just that I would really like for my first video to be my transformation video, like you. Then after that I can upload the requirements video, what do you think? Should I wait or do the requirements now? Salute!
Do the transformation video first. As I was tracking your progress since you started and you kept moving forward. The transformation video needs edit so start by it. The requirements video can be filmed with just a small title and timer edit. Finally bro and good luck!
Gligor
Daniel Malo
Thx bro, I thought the same. But the transformation video will have to wait a while. Till my year of training is complete. The video will come out in December, which is kind of funny because I hope it will motivate guys for their New Year Resolution hahaha. Salute!

Great video by Chris on YouTube, really liked it👌. Keep it up bro!💪

Hey Daniel, I was reading through the tread and was greatly inspired by all the hard work it seems you have down over that long period of time. GREAT JOB! I just got the program today and will be starting today. I have seen you in many of the forum discussions, and you seem to have very good information. So it may not be surprising that I ask for some sort of assistants over my calisthenics journey:)
Thank you for your words Reeves, I'm glad to have been of help. That's awesome that you started the program! I'm so exited to hear about your progress in this time of development. If you need any questions on any subjects, feel free to ask here or start a forum yourself where you can ask questions and write down your progress. Btw, I certainly reccomend asking my good friends Chris and Gligor for advice as well. Meanwhile, keep doing what you're doing and we'll see you later I'm certain! Let's go!!! BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know I'm still hitting the (24,25,26) levels. I've been stuck here for a while because I simply don't have the skill to progress to level 27. I do have the strength to do it, yet I lack the skill for the one-arm chin-ups, and in fact, the back clap pull-ups on level 24 as well. I would just simply switch the back clap pull-ups for 6 sets of 12 wide pull-ups, simple enough. Other than that, I'm still trying to get the one-arm chin-up form so that I can move on to level 27. But anyway, never give up, work hard as hell, and stay patient and determined. BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!

I know I should have been doing this for the whole year; but I guess I get lazy sometimes too, lol. Anyway, I want to offer a tip for all those Beasts who want to do a transformation video. Nutrition and Cardio. Now I'm not going to lie to you guys saying I was ace the whole year round. But! I will tell you that you don't only want size, but you also want to lower your body fat . Why? Your gains will look even MORE impressive. For these next two months until my transformation video, I'll be going hard on the fat-burning routines, and giving 110% on every workouts to the point to where I have given my best. Especially on core, I've been doing 2x if not 3x of the required exercises, sets, and reps. Now like I said, this is something that we should all be doing not only for the last two months but for the year as a whole. Anyway, I hope to be in the best shape for this December, wish me luck! BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!

Hey guys, how's it going? I'm still hitting the 24,25,26 levels and getting better and better. Right now I'm working on my muscle up form, trying to get rid of chicken wing form for good. Im really progressing and I feel ready enough for my transformation video. I know it's not until December but if I had to do it this month I wouldn't mind, I'm glad with my abilities(skills) in calisthenics and my gains. Btw, great video by Chris, I think it's just a perfect reference to a lot of questions here in the forums, thx Chris! I also think that you should make videos more often Bro!💪🏼 But anyway, I'm going Beast mode every single workout getting ready for what's coming this winter! Let's gooooooooo!!! BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!!! Calisthenics Unity ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!! Salute!!!
Great bro. Can't wait to see it. I agree with you about the new video that it answers the questions on the forum. I'm looking to get down to 10% till my birthday which is 26th December, like you said Cardio, I will go hard on fat burning routines too. I don't know my current body fat percentage, I will check it in a few days, but my weight loss has stopped this past few weeks, maybe I've been gaining some muscle and losing fat at the same time who knows. All I know is 5 months ago I had 94-95KG and now I'm down to 81KG and I have 2 pictures showing the before-after, if you want to see them I can show them haha, and my goal is 76KG at 10% body fat for now, still heavy as hell, which really makes exercises harder :(, but after that I will gain some muscle and be ready for the transformation video. I decided that I will do 4-7 cardio sessions a week (about 15-20 minutes a day), eat extremely clean, cut out some carbs, workout really hard and just get in the best shape like you said. And wait.. You can do back clap pull ups? That's insane bro.
Daniel Malo
Hahahaha, well, the truth is I haven't tried yet. I'm going to try to do them and then get back to you. The reason why I haven't tried them is that if I fail(lol) my landing zone isn't that safe hahaha. And the bar is about 3 meters high, so I have to get a chair to even work out. So I would have to get up, remove the chair somehow and if I fail, the fall isn't that nice. But I'll try anyway. And sure bro, I would like to see your progress photos!💪🏼
Gligor
Daniel Malo
Well, good luck and be careful. You don't want to do something really stupid after all and question yourself How did I get injured or something lol. Whenever I try stuff like that and new tricks I usually put really soft things under the bar, so really the only way I can injure myself is if I hit myself on the bar.. If you don't feel like trying it, don't, training smarter is more important. Oh, well I just decided that I'll make a topic on my birthday where I will post my progress haha. :)
Daniel Malo
Bro, I just tried the back clap pull-up and got injured😕....................chill out bro, I'm just kidding. But you are right, better train smart! That's why I'm not going to try it out for now. That's so cool Bro! I'll release my transformation and a few days later you'll release your progress. That'll be epic!👌🏼💪🏼 Hahahaha, let's go beast mode!!!!
