Exciting news 🎉 I just released my FREE Bulletproof Wrists Guide! 😊

Wrist pain is one of the most common issues when training calisthenics, especially handstands. Increasing your load, training frequency, and skill difficulty puts a lot of pressure on your wrists, and if they aren't well prepared to handle it, you WILL experience pain.

So how do I know how to train and strengthen wrists?

I'm a self-taught calisthenics athlete of 15 years. I also have a rare bone disorder called Kienböck's disease in my right wrist for which I had major reconstructive surgery. This left me with a very limited range of motion (a basically “unbendable” right wrist). For more info, see this video youtube.com/shorts/O5p8G79cbl...

This injury did not come from any calisthenics/handstand training or sport. It just happened, most likely due to my own unique anatomy and circulation.

Between extensive physical therapy and years of rebuilding wrist strength from scratch, I learned exactly what it takes to make wrists strong and resilient, and all of it is in this guide.

Here's what's inside:

✔ A wrist self-check evaluation to figure out where your pain is coming from and where to start (if needed)
✔ A 5 minute daily routine
✔ A full strength & mobility section to build wrists that handle real load
✔ How to strengthen wrists with limited or permanent range of motion loss
✔ A step by step progression for loading your wrists the right way so your weight-bearing skills stop hurting!

Grab it here👇

my.playbookapp.io/caracalisthenics/offers/bulletpr…

It opens in my free app and takes about 30 seconds :)

⭐ EARLY BIRD NOTICE ⭐

In the next few weeks I'm launching my full app, right inside the same free Playbook app you'll download for this guide. It'll include beginner routines to get you started from day one, my complete step by step handstand system, structured programs, follow-along workouts, and personal form checks from me.

The first 10 people to subscribe get 50% OFF their first month, so grab the free guide now and you'll be the first to know when it opens.

Happy training! 💪

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to give a little update and say my long form video uploads are a bit delayed right now (but still coming!) because I’ve been dealing with a pretty rough autoimmune flare lately.

I’m still training when I can, still creating, and I have more workout tutorials and videos on the way. I’m also working on getting online personal coaching started. So I’m really excited for what’s coming next, and I hope you are too!

I also just want to thank you all for being such a supportive community. The kindness, encouragement, and patience you show genuinely means the world to me. The calisthenics community truly is the best, and I remind myself every day how lucky and grateful I am to have your support. And I hope that in turn, I can help inspire, motivate, and support you.

I will also be sharing more about my own training and mobility routines as well as other hobbies that are still active but aren’t necessary calisthenics, since some of you have asked me about my daily routine. Look out for some cooking and baking videos too because that’s also a huge hobby of mine as well as meal inspiration ideas.

I’ll still be posting Shorts as well as on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. If you’d like to keep up with me more consistently while I navigate health & medical issues alongside calisthenics, I’ve been sharing more about it on my Instagram.

Good things are coming soon 🤍
