      He's 6' and about 185 pounds. His PB on weighted chin ups is 6 reps with 60kg (~135lb). He does lift sometimes but don't know any other stats there. He can also do handstand push-ups and planches and multiple muscle ups

        thanks. I guess you can't really judge a body like that when the majority of his training is not the typical compound lifts.

      yes, almost all calisthenics "influencers" lift too. It's just way too difficult to get the necessary training stimulus to keep growing after a couple years of calisthenics. The volume you'd be chasing without weight would take hours a day and take away from the skill training and pre-hab that lets you advance to cooler stuff. The recovery and tendon/joint health with intermediate to advanced calisthenics only routines are often very hard to parse as well without following a written routine to the letter.

      If you do the big 4 a couple times a week you'll have no trouble advancing in skill work and supporting movements without feeling like you're walking a tightrope between not progressing and crippling yourself.

        Without weights?

          the big 4 are the ohp, bench, squat and deadlift
          although you can easily do RDL instead since heavy deads are borderline useless for you and not worth the fatigue or recovery considerations they add to your training schedule. Just 3 or 4 sets each twice a week should be enough to see growth for a very long time if you do them close to failure and keep adding the right amount of weight.

        That's the crucial part, you can do calisthenics only, but you have to make them weighted
        Although I would recommend weightlifting for shoulders and legs

        >weighted ring dips (until triceps exhaustion)
        >weighted ring bulgarian dips (to finish off the chest)
        >weighted towel pullups (until brachioradialis exhaustion)
        >weighted chinups (to finish off the back and hit the biceps)

        6-12 reps, 4-5 sets, every 3-4 days (depending on recovery). Once you can do 12 clean reps on the first set - add weight.

        >weighted hanging straight leg raises
        >weighted hanging lateral straight leg raises
        >weighted hanging straight leg circular motions

        6-12 reps, until failure, forearms with Captains of Crush hand grippers on the same day, every 2 days (due to quick forearm/core recovery).

        Primary cardio is swimming, 1-2 times per week when on a caloric surplus, 3-4 times per week when cutting (will start in April). Leg press for legs after swimming, HIIT uphill sprints in the summer.

    This guy is a moron, claiming standard bench press uses legs to lift the weight up (moron opinion) so larsen press is better. Gymnastic method is much better for Calisthenics. I have never seen anyone do pull ups as clean as him.

    I hate his voice. He also is way too much of a pussy. He also is afraid of barbells.

    I have fitnessFAQ forum account. I bought his ring program when I first decided to get into body weight stuff. In hindsight it was silly, but it did get me going. his programming is good, and sometimes my dudes, it’s nice to just have it laid out for you what to do instead of researching routines and exercises to death. The program is intense. Go me looking pretty good, and I ran it twice. My pull up game got bad ass and I eventually transitioned to training for the one arm chin up on my own (and getting it).

    I bought another program from him. The side splits program. I made a lot of progress until I stalled completely and lost motivation. I’d rate that program like a 6.5/10. Definitely a phenomenal way to get introduced to flexibility exercises, but the program itself just flat ass didn’t work at a certain point. Flexibility is complicated and a blanket program may work for you, but you may need some higher level info and advice. Guys like Emmit Louis and Tom Merrick are better sources for flexibility stuff if you’re searching for info or are going to shell out money.

    Daniel is good overall. I wouldn’t pay for it unless you’re a dumbass impulse buyer like me, but again, sometimes it’s nice to just have a solid routine to follow without agonizing over the details of overtraining/under training, rep schemes, exercise selection, rest times, etc etc
