...and here I'm a 45ish fat man and I'm watching two grand masters and I can't do a passive hang on the bar for 30 sec...I feel so weak ,I have so much work to do...by the way you guys are so great on teaching movements the right way,thank you so much

"You can have almost anything you want, but you can never have everything you want" I really needed this reality check today. It's not just a lesson for training, but also for life.

First minute he mentioned golfers elbow from pullups. Exactly the problem I have been running into for over a year. I really hope this is talked about as I keep watching.

In my opinion: high bodyweight reps at the basic movements, with good form and no feeling of discomfort, are the basic for a good calistenics athlete. Maybe mix it up with some weighted calistenics for the fun, but keep focus on mastering the bodyweight with good to perfect form. Will take years. You can only run, when you are able to walk. You can only sprint, when you are able run.

YES!!! 💕💪 I'm barely 2mins in, and Gabo is talking sooooo much sense. As an "advanced beginner" it is so good to hear an expert saying these things. I'm tall and female and have struggled with push ups my whole life. But a while ago I decided to ditch my ego and regress right back to a move I could do with good form. I spent time working on countertop push ups, progressing to negative knee push ups, then full knee push ups. I can now do really solid, controlled knee push ups, and confident if I keep practicing consistently solid, controlled full push ups will be next.

13:29-17:03 VERY important!!! This is the longterm thinking!

I'm just coming back from 5 months injured and this is the perfect reminder to take my time. I'm feeling better but there is no rush to get back to the level I was before. I'm just happy to be able to train again!

Excellent episode- thank u both! 🤩

Teaching how to train specific movements from the ground up is huge, as well as teaching those movements from the intermediate and advanced level. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Love seeing you 2 together.

Excellent conversation, thank you my brothers!

Really nice, wanna see k boges on podcasts, he has pretty interesting approach on training

So much knowledge and experience in this podcast. Amazing.

Loved this episode

Thanks this chat help me to stay more time on the progressions rather than if im able to do the next one do it Great podcast guys, 2 of my favorites in the calisthenics world 🙌🤝

Loved this one! Was getting very good at following my program and then really wanted to get the muscle-up, started including some reps on top of my program and got the muscle-up but couple days on and injured my wrist, since then I learnt my lesson I had to go back to basics and when I will get back into muscle up training I will be sure to include the right exercises in my program to build the basoc strength instead of random reps here and there! Thanks all the valuable info!

The candor and frank/fearless self-assessment is so inspiring, especially in one so young. Bravo to both of you.

Thanks for video! 👍💪
