How Strong You Really Are?

For years I used to do weight training. I felt strong and I looked big. One day I was challenged by one of my friends to do a back lever, and miserably I couldn’t even get myself in the right position. Then, he challenged me to do a Pistol Squat…Embarrassed, I couldn’t go down much…Really? I did not have the strength for that? Me? A strong, fitness freak? Even though I trained for years I lacked simple flexibility, mobility and balance. My big muscles locked my movements and I become a prisoner of them. Few years later I joined CrossFit and just months into training I ended with a nasty shoulder injury. I pushed too hard. I still love Crossfit but I needed to find a way to train with my injury while still gaining strength. Plus I was sick of being dependent on having a box or a gym to go to. I needed a change. That was the time when I truly discovered calisthenics – a lost art of the most effective, natural strength training on earth which is just using bodyweight.

The Un-ending Power of Progressive Calisthenics.

The most effective, natural strength training on Earth

Calisthenics is the art of increasing resistance with only your bodyweight to develop insane strength. Using progressive resistance, similar to weight training, you add difficulty levels across a full range of motion, skill, position, etc And because calisthenics uses only natural movements, it not only protects and strengthens your joints, but also conditions your body into amazing shape. It builds incredible strength, balance, flexibility, and natural and extreme body control ability Well-structured progressive calisthenics can give you insane strength gains, muscle growth, and fat loss while still protecting your joints and conditioning your body—naturally

Build Strength For Life…

I absolutely fell in love. My injury healed, I felt stronger than ever before, I lost all unwanted fat I build a physique of a gymnast I always wanted. And you know what? It was actually so much fun to get out there every day, try new skills, train towards advanced moves not only towards another inch on my bicep. I loved how I become flexible, mobile, how I started developing my balance and all the things I would never even think about with my normal weight training. And I loved how my joints were getting stronger while I was growing older.

Ian Success Story

Ian Clark

I am a neuromuscular massage therapist. And once I learned about soft tissue damage and healing, repetitive stress injuries, the foundations of muscle science, etc., I really started to get serious about fully balanced workouts that supplement pre-existing muscular imbalances and focus on form and control. But I had trouble designing them myself and being sure about what was safest and most efficient for my body. And this is when I picked up a Calisthenics Fundamentals Course. The program perfectly matched my criteria. I believe strength is a lifetime pursuit, not a few week fad. The guide to progressions met my biggest concern; getting from here to there. Since then my results have been very steady. My reps are going up, rest times are decreasing, and skill work is becoming second nature. I’ve also been packing on lean muscle as you can see in the picture.

Since I started on a program my results have been amazing. I have lost several inches in waistline, my shoulders are broader, and I feel so much more energy now. It’s not easy, but the program is a complete guide on how to get started on improving your health and life with the vehicle of calisthenics. I was expecting the program to be just an exercises book, but it went beyond my expectations teaching everything from the mindset, to how to progress, with suggestions how it all can be incorporated according to my own fitness levels and goals. 4 months have passed and the results in my lifestyle are incredible, not just my physique, but my energy and my attitude towards fitness.

I started calisthenics after I got inspired from various athletes practicing a lot of skills like front lever, HSPU’s etc, and I was like whoaa!! I looked through all the available training programs and picked this program as the best one. It has been 7 months since then and my results have been awesome! When a person starts with calisthenics… He/she faces a lot of problems related to progressions. There is a lot of questions: what to do, how to do things; how much to do?; When to progress?; And what frequency of practice must be included? The program answers all those questions and more so you can focus on moving forward every day.
