Calisthenics & Weight Training

Calisthenics, or Weights - or Combined...

I get the feeling these training concepts are not always fully understood, or that these methods can't & shouldn't be mixed. It's not a coincidence that the best, strongest, most powerful & fastest athletes (track & field, football/hockey/basketball players, fighters and so on) have been combining calisthenics and weight training for ages.

But most importantly, do what YOU enjoy

There are MANY OPTIONS how you can workout; solely bodyweight - OR any other combination. I show examples of everything in the video and how you can create your own workout after your preference (and backpack or bands are of course optional too).

1. Weight exercises (open kinetic chain) + calisthenics exercises (closed kinetic chain)
2. Weight exercises + weighted calisthenics
3. Weighted calisthenics + calisthenics exercises
4. Only calisthenics/bodyweight exercises (no additional load)

The concept of PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD applies to both Calisthenics and Weight Training (closed kinetic chain & open kinetic chain exercises). If you don't want to use Weights with P.O you need to make things more challenging to keep making progress.

Keep it simple & just do whatever you feel great with doing
