00:00:00
what's going on guys welcome back to the
00:00:02
channel today I want to show you guys
00:00:03
five ways on how to make calisthenics
00:00:05
easier these are five ways that you
00:00:07
could incorporate into your training
00:00:09
when you're struggling with certain
00:00:10
exercise you want to get stronger you
00:00:11
can't do the regular exercises just yet
00:00:14
here are five methods that you could use
00:00:16
to implement to make it easier so make
00:00:18
sure to stick around all the way to the
00:00:19
end I'm going to talk to you guys about
00:00:20
my favorite way from all of these and a
00:00:22
secret on how to improve and get
00:00:24
stronger when you're stuck and what I do
00:00:26
and what I recommend the first one very
00:00:28
easy one that a lot of people you
00:00:29
already probably seen a lot is just
00:00:31
using resistance bands so using
00:00:32
resistance bands most calisthenics
00:00:34
exercise is a good way to do the
00:00:37
exercise without actually having the
00:00:40
strength to do it so for example let's
00:00:42
say like push-ups for example right so
00:00:45
if you can't do push-ups a good way of
00:00:46
using resistance bands just grab an
00:00:48
appropriate level resistance bands
00:00:49
you're going to cut in half like this
00:00:51
one this a big thick one is usually a
00:00:52
good one for for beginners that can do
00:00:54
not even one push-up good way to help
00:00:56
you is getting resistance from a
00:00:58
resistance band so you're just going to
00:00:59
put it right here it's going to be near
00:01:02
your shoulders are here and it's going
00:01:04
to really push your chest so as you go
00:01:06
down for example in this exercise when
00:01:08
you come down down here and you push up
00:01:12
the band is going to help you push up on
00:01:15
that push-up it's a very good exercise
00:01:18
to
00:01:19
do with the resistance band and the band
00:01:22
actually helps you and it pushes you on
00:01:24
the way up it gives you a lot of
00:01:26
assistance in this way another one for
00:01:30
example just hooking up a band up on the
00:01:32
pullet bar and then you're gonna just
00:01:35
put another one down here and just put
00:01:36
your arms through it here for
00:01:38
example and then from right here again
00:01:41
the resistance band is going to help you
00:01:43
it's going to pull you back up to the
00:01:45
top it's a good way to do
00:01:48
push-ups with the assistance of a band
00:01:51
and obviously you know if you're trying
00:01:54
to do pull-ups for
00:01:55
example you know just
00:01:58
a hook it up on your legs either on your
00:02:01
knee or on your foot it's another way to
00:02:04
help you and assist you on your pull-ups
00:02:09
also for example on your muscleups doing
00:02:13
hooking up a band with your leg to do
00:02:15
muscleups is another good way another
00:02:16
important one obviously is dips another
00:02:19
good way is just getting a proper level
00:02:21
resistance band and just putting it
00:02:22
right here you just create more more
00:02:24
slack it'll give you less Heth but the
00:02:26
Le slack it has it will give you more
00:02:28
assistance so
00:02:30
you're going to be able to do some
00:02:32
dips with the
00:02:35
help of resistance bands so as you can
00:02:38
see there's so many ways that you could
00:02:41
use resistance bands to help you with
00:02:44
your calisthenics exercises that's when
00:02:47
you don't have the strength to actually
00:02:49
complete them yet okay another way to
00:02:52
make your calisthenics easier and this
00:02:54
is probably my favorite one this is my
00:02:56
favorite one because it allows you to go
00:02:58
through the motion but in reverse
00:02:59
because because when you're doing
00:03:01
negatives you're actually working the
00:03:03
exact same muscles needed to do the
00:03:05
exercises but you're doing it an easier
00:03:07
method to build those built that
00:03:08
strength up in those muscles by doing it
00:03:10
this way so what you do for example like
00:03:13
push-ups is you come you start at the
00:03:15
very top position at the very end and
00:03:18
then you slowly lower three 3 to 5
00:03:21
Seconds to the bottom and this motion is
00:03:23
working the exact same muscles as if you
00:03:25
were doing a regular push-up so you just
00:03:27
go down 3 to 5 seconds for examp jump on
00:03:30
the
00:03:30
push-up and then get on your knees come
00:03:33
back up and start up again same thing
00:03:36
with the pull-ups maybe grab a box so
00:03:38
you can start at the
00:03:41
top and then same thing you're going to
00:03:43
start at the top roll the thumb 3 to 5
00:03:46
seconds on the
00:03:49
negative and it's going to help you
00:03:52
immensely for your calisthenics exercise
00:03:55
especially for stuff like push-ups and
00:03:57
pull-ups again you're working the exact
00:03:59
same muscles
00:04:00
but you're doing it in in Reverse So
00:04:01
eventually your your body is going to
00:04:03
get strong enough with your muscles
00:04:04
required to do the exercise for you to
00:04:06
do regular rep it goes the same way with
00:04:08
dips for example a dips is an easier
00:04:11
transition because you're already you
00:04:14
can just put your feet on the ground but
00:04:16
the same same method goes you go down 3
00:04:20
to 5 seconds with a dip you just use
00:04:22
your feet to stand back up to the top
00:04:25
and then slowly slowly lower again 3 to
00:04:27
5 Seconds
00:04:31
and again those are great exercises to
00:04:34
do when you're trying to get stronger
00:04:37
with calisthenics would I recommend to
00:04:38
complete your reps maybe do regular reps
00:04:42
and then finish your set by doing the
00:04:44
negatives in any exercises where there's
00:04:46
push-ups and your pull-ups if you're
00:04:48
trying to reach a certain amount for
00:04:49
your set say 12 to 15 reps and you could
00:04:53
only do like 10 regular ones but you
00:04:54
need two more then just do the negative
00:04:56
ones to finish off that set okay guys so
00:04:59
the next method that you could use to
00:05:01
make exercises easier in calisthenics is
00:05:03
simply just putting your knees on the
00:05:05
ground so this is a row mainly just for
00:05:07
push-up exercises but obviously we we
00:05:09
all know there's a lot of push-up
00:05:11
variations sometimes they get could get
00:05:13
really hard but always if you can if
00:05:16
you're at that level you could just get
00:05:18
on your knees and do your push-up and
00:05:21
again because there's so many variations
00:05:22
it could be on different types of
00:05:24
push-ups it could be diamond
00:05:25
push-ups it could be Archer push-ups
00:05:30
it could be tap rer push-ups it could
00:05:33
even be Pike push-ups so a good way to
00:05:38
do some exercises if you really need
00:05:39
assistance and if you don't have the
00:05:41
strength to do it actually yet is do
00:05:42
your push-ups on your knees all right
00:05:44
guys another way to make your exercises
00:05:46
easier in calisthenics is simply just do
00:05:48
the hardest exercises first in your
00:05:50
routine so if your exercise routine
00:05:53
calls for tough exercises maybe after
00:05:55
you're warmed up maybe do those first
00:05:57
while you're fresh while you're fresh
00:05:59
you know that's that's where you're
00:06:00
strongest and if you're struggling with
00:06:01
certain exercises try to do those first
00:06:03
so for example on the push day if Archer
00:06:07
push-ups are really hard for you to do
00:06:10
maybe do those first whatever it is that
00:06:13
is really hard for you say muscle up typ
00:06:15
rer pull-ups tyer push-ups front levers
00:06:18
if those are implemented in your program
00:06:20
and they're still tough make sure to try
00:06:21
to do those first obviously after you're
00:06:23
properly warmed up and everything and
00:06:25
and it goes the same with any exercises
00:06:27
even if you're a beginner if you're
00:06:28
struggling with even simpler exercises
00:06:30
go with the ones that you're struggling
00:06:32
with first and do those first while
00:06:33
you're fresh so you could actually have
00:06:35
a strong workout and you're not trying
00:06:37
to finish those at the end so always
00:06:39
start with the harder exercises first
00:06:41
right after you're properly warmed up so
00:06:43
you can have a good effective workout
00:06:44
all right guys and the last way to make
00:06:46
your exercises easier in calisthenics is
00:06:49
simply just do more reps by doing more
00:06:51
reps you know your body is naturally
00:06:53
going to get stronger so don't be afraid
00:06:56
to do more reps and go beyond your your
00:06:58
program your program go calls for 15
00:07:01
Reps for certain exercises don't be
00:07:03
afraid if you have more energy in the
00:07:05
tank to do more don't be afraid to
00:07:07
randomly work on your reps on say
00:07:10
push-ups or pull-ups and you want to
00:07:11
bring your reps up don't be afraid to
00:07:13
just do them randomly throughout the day
00:07:15
maybe right when you wake up in the
00:07:17
morning or right before bed or just
00:07:19
throw in a few sets in your routines if
00:07:21
you're able to and you can recover don't
00:07:23
be afraid to just do more reps because
00:07:25
the more reps you do the stronger you're
00:07:27
going to get calisthenics is different
00:07:29
it's not not the same as your
00:07:30
traditional uh weight training at the
00:07:32
gym where they stick to a certain rep
00:07:34
range with calisthenics it's unlimited
00:07:37
possibilities you could do so much
00:07:38
there's so many different muscle fibers
00:07:39
that could penetrate and work deeply
00:07:42
every single day you'll be surprised at
00:07:43
what you could do for example my my reps
00:07:46
are super super high because I built
00:07:48
there's been years of training that I've
00:07:49
been able to do it so my reps aren't
00:07:51
simple my reps go into the hundreds
00:07:53
sometimes reach a thousands for for a
00:07:55
specific workout that's the mentality
00:07:57
you have to have is you just got to do
00:07:58
more Reps don't be or just push it out
00:08:00
push through the pain do more push-ups
00:08:02
do more pull-ups do more muscle ups
00:08:04
whatever it takes you know just try to
00:08:06
push yourself and you pushing yourself
00:08:08
and just getting more reps each and
00:08:09
every time and just setting goals to
00:08:11
reaching a new number is going to help
00:08:13
you get stronger calisthenics it's going
00:08:14
to unlock other harder exercises that
00:08:17
you didn't think you could do like front
00:08:19
levers muscle ups uh typ riter pull-ups
00:08:22
things that you do in calisthenics are
00:08:24
going to look a lot easier when you're
00:08:27
you increase your reps so you know don't
00:08:29
forget to increase the Reps in your
00:08:31
Basics your numbers your push-ups your
00:08:33
pull-ups your dips your squats your
00:08:35
lunges by increasing your reps and being
00:08:37
able to do a lot of them but with good
00:08:39
form you'll be surprised on how
00:08:41
everything else is going to become
00:08:43
easier when you start doing the harder
00:08:45
stuff and the thing is you just got to
00:08:46
do more reps you just got to put in the
00:08:48
work in okay guys those were five ways
00:08:50
on what you could do to make your
00:08:52
calisthenics exercises easier don't be
00:08:54
afraid to mix and match all these
00:08:56
different methods on certain exercises
00:08:58
that you're struggling with there's
00:08:59
sometimes where we're stronger with
00:09:00
pulling exercises and sometimes we're
00:09:02
stronger with pushing or sometimes we
00:09:04
struggle with something that's not so
00:09:06
hard but we need to implement some of
00:09:07
these exercises if I were to pick my
00:09:09
favorite out of all of these always if
00:09:11
you can go for the negative the negative
00:09:14
again like I mentioned before is you're
00:09:16
actually doing the exercise but you're
00:09:17
doing it in in Reverse you're actually
00:09:19
working the exact same muscles needed to
00:09:21
do a regular positive rep but you're
00:09:23
doing it in reverse and eventually
00:09:24
you're going to get stronger so if I
00:09:26
were to pick one of all of these make
00:09:28
sure to do those negatives if you can
00:09:30
obviously if you can try to implement
00:09:32
the other ones but try to shoot for
00:09:34
those negatives and I promise you you're
00:09:35
going to increase your reps you're going
00:09:37
to get stronger little by little and
00:09:39
like I mentioned also try to do more
00:09:41
reps your goal should be just try to do
00:09:43
as much reps as you can eventually
00:09:45
you're going to be able to master it
00:09:46
once you master these exercises you're
00:09:48
going to be able to unlock all these
00:09:50
other different exercises and that's the
00:09:52
beauty with calisthenics now if you need
