I've only injured my shoulder by chasing a 225 bench too fast
OP make sure you don't just jump right in it. Do warm ups and stretches. I'll agree that you CAN hurt yourself. If you're stupid about it. Just like weightlifting, start with form and negatives then get stronger
Bodyweight only made me pretty weak. I could tell because I would bench press my girlfriend to just play around and when I swapped to that from weighted calisthenics, I noticed it getting harder. I also noticed that doing the "harder variations" the youtube warriors always rag on about making me weaker than just adding weight to chins and dips. Rings are dope, zero elbow pain but they probably won't work for all body types. Excessive range of motion is a pointless meme by dyels (that pull up didn't count because you didn't dislocate your shoulders at the bottom of this lat exercise!)
False grip chins are the best arm exercise I've ever done in my life.
Let me guess, high volume circuit training? If you treat it like regular weights, it's fine. Trying to do a dance routine with it injures you.
Does anyone else's shoulders hurt when doing dead hang pull ups?
Probably from the relaxation at the bottom stressing your rear delts/rotator cuff. Could be sign of a future injury so don't do dead hang pull ups for now. I can do dead hangs easy without ever training them. It's pointless since they don't make your back/bis work harder at all.
Endless hypertrophy and strength for upper body. You get to learn how to move your body through space which is cool for party tricks and climbing in general.
For legs, you cap out on strength and hypertrophy pretty quickly, but performing various single leg squats, hinges and hip thrusts will make you more graceful and agile, moreso If we include jumps and acrobatics.
rings solve upperbody
you can progress just like in normal lifting by using weights
mog the powershitter that are not able to do a single pullup (a basic natural movement)
if you can do clean 10 pullups you mog 90% of nu-males you see around on the street
Good stuff but weighted calisthenics is even better. If you ideologically refuse to use added weight when it becomes relevant for your training, you're a gay homosexual.
Rings are great.
Pull-up bar/dip station is okay.
Paralletes are borderline useless.
Can do workouts whenever you want with whatever you have, not dependent on gym israelites, your landlord or life circumstances.
'Advanced' calisthenics(planche, front lever, back lever etc.) are a meme that doesn't really translates into strength, while requires lots strength, mobility and coordination. Also very injury prone.
Will be fit, but not 'swole'. Unless you start adding lots of weights, but then might as well hit up the gym.
Chance of rotator cuff/other shoulder injuries: about 95%
t 2 years into calisthenics, had both shoulders injured at some point

what move were you doing when you hurt them? My money is on dips

What did you do wrong? I want to avoid it
Avoid injuries with partials
I only do partials
Full range of motions (ROM) is moronic
Train your muscles not your joints

are you setting your shoulders right? Dead hang doesn't mean letting your shoulders get yanked out of your sockets
try incorporating german hangs / basic swing the cat into your routine. you may lack shoulder mobility.
ha. sorry, skin* the cat.
what height parallettes are good. only getting one
You can train your strength just the same as weights.
Amazing back and grip will come with little work.
Great balance and flexibility.

weighted calisthenics is the way especially for lower body
t. gay homosexual
There is no such thing as weighted calisthenics. You're lifting weights.
found the gay homo
Did you finally look in a mirror
