Calisthenics for Bodybuilding
Calisthenics is an effective way to build muscle and get stronger but many think it's not effective for bodybuilding and opt more for machines and free weights, in this video I want to highlight how calisthenics for bodybuilding is a great way to train.
Sure with calisthenics, isolating muscles and manipulating intensity on the muscle isn't as easy but it is still possible with the right knowledge. I'm going to go through all the best exercises for each of the muscle groups, talking about reps and sets and also discuss your rest times so by the end of the video you will have a better understand on how to use calisthenics for bodybuilding

    For me personally it's very challenging to count reps while focusing on maintaining a proper form during the exercise. I'm not multitasking whatsoever!😅 I think counting reps is not really necessary as long as you train to failure in each and every set your body doesn't know how many reps you've done. What matters is training to failure.

    It was a good advice overall. I'd add that rest days between the training days are essential for muscle growth and what is also important is an adequate daily consumption of protein particularly Leucine amnio acid to promote muscle growth. The paper below delves into detailed explanation of how at least 2 gram of protein per kg of weight a day is essential to trigger muscle growth. "2) For building muscle mass and for maintaining muscle mass through a positive muscle protein balance, an overall daily protein intake in the range of 1.4-2.0 g protein/kg body weight/day (g/kg/d) is sufficient for most exercising individuals, a value that falls in line within the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range published by the Institute of Medicine for protein. 5) Acute protein doses should strive to contain 700-3000 mg of leucine and/or a higher relative leucine content, in addition to a balanced array of the essential amino acids (EAAs)."

    But the question is, if we have great form and technique, do our muscles get bigger by doing the same number of sets and reps each week? I assume not, so at some point we have to increase the volume or add weight And to know whether we are doing that or not we have to record the sets of reps each time to see how many we have done. So if last time I managed 14 press-ups , and then attempt press-ups again, what do I do ? Should I attempt to beat by as many as possible or just do 15 ? Or do I not even look at how many I did last time and just do as many as possible in good form ? In this case, do I never record the number and just do them ? Sounds ok In theory but what if I’m still doing 14 reps a year later ? And maybe because I didn’t make enough effort to do more !

    This confirms my experience. I’ve done press-ups for some time and increased my strength with no issues. Then as soon as I started dips I got a shoulder muscle injury within a week. Maybe my fault for not starting with assisted dips. But I also find the exercise awkward to perform and I think it’s easy to make a mistake and pick up another injury. So no more dips for me. Now I just do push-ups , inverted rows, pull ups, squats, abs, on a Push Pull Legs schedule 6 days per week.

    Interestingly, it is not either or. Claiming that is also to say that If You do 3 more reps than the 1-5 (Myofibrillar) range then You switch over to Sarco and the Myo does not happen. This is nonsense. If it takes 10 Myo fibers to lift 10 kg, then it doesn’t matter how much Sarco you have. You must have 10 Myo to do the lift. So, if a 200 pound body builder can lift 100 kg he must have 100 Myo, the exact same number of Myo that the 120 pound power must have to do the same lift. It is the Myo’s that does the lift.

But really haven’t worked out except in short periods for 4 years now. So probably 170-175 10% goal. Maybe 7-10%. Is cut ideal if I’m already at the correct weight? I have a bit of dad bod/gut. But still don’t look big in the arms. All the weight goes to stomach and chin. Tips?

    • @LeeDowningKeat
      @LeeDowningKeat Місяць тому

      Sorry to hear about your friend and your girlfriend first of all. My advice is if you cut weight you might still look skinny fat. So it's better if you focus on building some muscle but don't do what other people do and do a dirty bulk. Try and find tour calorific need a day and add 300-500 calories a day and focus on building muscle and getting stronger.keep an eye on thr scales but also how you look and check to see what weight you are gaining and adjust calories. If gaining too quick and looking a bit fat lower. See what progress you make after 6 months and then try a mini cut of 4 weeks, to see if you can try and lose some of the fat gained. It will take time but if you are consistent you will see real change

    • @LeeDowningKeat
      @LeeDowningKeat Місяць тому

      @GlitchMoreau you can easily use a online calculator , they're not perfect but give a ballpark to play with. Only true way for you and just keeping eye on scales but you can go further. Each weight in. Measure chest arms legs waist etc. How do your clothes feels, looser or tighter and in what areas. Keep a log for it if it helps. When it comes to calories you will be surprised in some cases how little we burn and alot of machine will over estimate, it can be harder when doing workouts where there isn't a calories counter so that can be harder bit again keeping an eye on scales and other metrics will let you know if you are consuming the right amount of calories for your goal For the workout side I'm keen on full body however pick one that you can stay consistent with and are motivate to follow with. Again I'm more focus on heavy lifting and low rep training and not just getting bigger and stronger, however there are real benefits of doing high and low rep training plus it's nice to mix it up. Focus on compounds and add in some isolation if needed. Not sure if you are weights focused or calisthenics and can do both but most importantly have fun with it . Hope that helps and there is lot of content on the channel to help you if you are calisthenics minded or want to add it in. Plus videos on progressive overload if you need help on progressing with your training
