Essential Calisthenics Thread

@Originalgangsta317 I have a question.

Do I have to reset my count when I change hand positions or does 11 close grip, 11 regular grip, and 11 wide grip still count as 33 pushups?

Here's what I mean:

For pushups, I try to target all areas of the chest so that my chest looks full and balanced. Low, middle and high as well as close, regular and wide.

So, I do close grip, regular grip, wide grip. Then I do high close grip, high regular grip, high wide grip (this is similar to doing incline barbell presses.) Then I do lower close grip, lower regular grip, lower wide grip.

If I were to do 33 pushups in the same hand position it would be harder, but when I switch hand positions (close, regular and wide) it targets other areas of the chest so its not as hard.

Should I reset my count when I change my hand position?

No sir.

Long as you knockout push-ups straight without taking an extended break it'll count as a set.

Just make sure you are getting as many reps of push-ups,pull-ups,dips,squats as you can in 30 minutes.

Trust me you do what your supposed to in those 30 minutes your body will feel it for sure.

I'm finally beginning to get the 4 sets of 100 in 30 mins with my calisthenics workout, props to @Originalgangsta317!

Seeing some improvements. Fitness also improving somewhat but it still needs some work.

On the days I lift weights I go light to medium with more reps tbh. I'm done with heavy lifting.

This guy I workout with sometimes at the gym asked me to do burpies with him when I first got in. Figured it would be just a warm up. He wanted to do them for 25 min. I had to take a extra day off the gym....this shyt ain't no joke

But I'm probably going to continue this routine because I'll be on vacation for about a month and I'm prolly only going to hit a gym for Leg days. Imma add pull ups (I'm weak at them hopefully i'll improve) and dips as well.
