Learn and Improve GYMNASTIC-BODYWEIGHT Exercises

I do Calisthenics for almost a year... I train consistently and I do step without haste... I try to keep very good technique... I have parallel, bars and rings...   How can I improve?? I would like to perform gymnastic exercises...


Let me know, thanks!!

I would advise you to buy the Foundation series

This was easy:

You're welcome

Ask and ye shall receive.

Just a quick question about F1 is there any gymnastic equipment required? Thanks

Rings would be the very minimum. A pair of stall bars will probably be necessary down the line but I think you can manage without it in the beginning. Some weights (something like up to 10-15kg perhaps?).

The rest you should be able to substitute with stuff you have at home.

In F1 if  "HBP/PE6"  is too easy, no effort, what should I do???

Ballast?? How much extra weight??

LET ME KNOW, THANKS!!!!

Why then you move on to F2 of course   If that's not an option at the moment then you could use a little imagination or look through the progressions in BtGB if you have it.

Sorry mate, what BtGB ??? 

Building the Gymnastic Body, the book that was released years ago, check the store. 

Don't forget to make 100% sure you can pass everything up to hbp 6 by doing it. if you think its easy, it doesn't always mean everything before is easy too

Especially pe3, and the IMs of course. Otherwise, yep, onto F2 to keep building the push!

Plus, you get back on the rings (at last!) in F2. That's a good feeling

I'll reiterate that, make sure you also pass all of the iMs! I think pretty much everyone has found a hole or two in their mobility in F1.

Successfully complete the F1 (not calisthenics!!), you can learn skills as for example Back Lever, Front Lever, V-Sit......????

 

 

THANKS TO ALL   

F1-F4 will give you a Straddle Planche, Front Lever, Side Lever, Manna, Hollowback Press, Rope Climb and Single-leg Squat. Back Lever will be in a later volume.

You should try and see if you can do ALL the PEs and iMs, for all the exercises. If so, you could be the first Level 1 GB athlete

To understand each other better, when i finished the F1 will not have learned FL, BL, Vsit, Planche etc etc ???  

Need to additional specific work ???

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!

yes probably 15-18 more PE's and IM's.

No, you won't have learned them after F1. You should refund F1 if all of the elements were easy for you and get started on F2.

I'm doing the Foundation One but my workouts last very little, no more than 35 minutes... Before I did Calisthenics and I was training at least 90-120 minutes, now no risk of worsening physically???

Thanks again mates!!!!

No, not at all from what I've heard. Many have reported improvements in their physique.

GREAT, hopefully good!!!!! 

THANKS AGAIN BOSS 

Sure, no problem
