Calisthenics Unity

i saw chris's video. his triceps looks ripped, he only had one year of training, how do u guys usually do to build such a ripped muscle like that. heavy exercise with a longer rest time and a lower rep for sets, or lighter exercise with high reps. @Chris: how do you build those ripped muscles within only 1 year

I work every day and every time I push and pull like crazy try to make it hard, is almost one year now and I can't get a muscle up

Are you making sure you're eating enough in order to grow muscles, also for definition the most important thing is a pretty low body fat percentage (not something insane like 5%, but probably ranging from 9% to 14% depending on genetics of course).

The most important part about getting ripped is indeed the nutrition, whether it be weight lifting or calisthenics, if you're eating junk food every day or something like that you won't really get the results. You must get in high quality protein, healthy carbs and fat.

Now, you shouldn't feel bad, genetics play a big part, Chris probably has a lot better genetics than most of us, but, if you see any results, and I mean ANY results, you should feel proud, I don't care if you gained 0.5 KG of muscle or 5 kilos of muscle, as long as there are results and you feel happier, healthier, and stronger than you were, you're on the good path.

The triceps plays a big role on the muscle up, do a lot of exercises that "isolate" the triceps like tiger bend push ups, tricep extensions, diamond push ups.

You also must progress to harder exercises, or as you said heavy exercises, or do more reps of that exercise, because your body kind of gets used to the exercise and your muscles become less and less affected (they still are affected but not as much), so to break your muscle tissues that they grow back stronger and bigger (here protein plays a big part, so they can grow), you must either do a heavier exercise (for example instead of pull ups, do explosive ones to get your chest over the bar), or do more reps (instead of 5 sets * 6 reps, do 5 sets * 7 reps, you get the idea).

That's all I can think of, I know this is long to read, but you'll get the muscle up, I bet it, keep going hard!

Different factors matter. Muscle size, fat percentage, and that is depending on training, nutrition and genes :) Genes should never be an excuse but it still have something to do with it. Like, if you dont look like Schwarzenegger when he was 16, dont ever think you can get to look like him when he was 25.
Thats why you should never compare yourself too much to others. We are all different, we progress differently. For some people it takes 2 weeks to get the MU, for me it took 3-4 months and for some, maybe 2 years. Hope that could help!
