Essential Calisthenics Thread

[semtex]

95% of people do bodyweight shyt wrong but it is effective if you don’t just go through the motions. You can start there if that’s what you want.

The bar only?

You essentially start lifting the bar only which is about 40lbs, then build up from there. You don’t have to wait two months to get that going breh

I actually got an Amazon gift card of over $50. I'm going to cop them. What else do you recommend? No I do not live by a park, why?
Edit:
Can I cop these instead?

They have no type of control over the reps and just blow through them really fast. They also lack creativity when it comes to making them more challenging

straight pushup bars are okay, slanted are better for wrist health

If you don't live near a park, your best best is to join that gym and use their racks and bars to do calisthenic work....most gyms have this kind of attachment on one of their racks

wide grip, close grip, palms facing your body, palms facing away, neutral grip (hands grabbing those straight bars and plams facing each other)

Do as wide a variety of these pulling movements as possible per workout....different grips use and stress different bodyparts

Also, gym has bars for you to do dips on.

You can carry the pushup bars with you to the gym in your bag.

If you had a nearby park, you could do a more limited variety of pulling and dip movements


=====
If you're not going, not ready, or unable to hit the gym yet.......use the pushup bars....do different variations...get an ab wheel....

and
a light exercise band like this



under $45 total

Thank you very much. I have a pull up bar at home and I should have an answer roller I bought long ass time ago. Been doing negative pull ups and dead hangs lately.

you're welcome
you're not a beginner if you're doing negatives and dead hangs.....so you've done some reading

do you have the doorframe pullup bar? or the power tower?

also...do you do pistol squats for legs or some other exercise?
