New!! Hey all. I am a fitness coach and bootcamp instructor with my own little training business. My insta is coach_oni84 and I post workouts and client pics regularly. I am looking to increase my own knowledge in the calisthenics world so that I can start applying it to my training. Thanks!
Welcome Onesti. You already have a really strong background to build from, and being a fitness coach and bootcamp instructor should give you a great base for understanding how calisthenics can fit into training. The cool part is that learning more about calisthenics can help both your own training and the way you coach others, especially when it comes to body control, progressions, and skill work. The good news is you do not have to figure it all out alone because there is a full course in the Classroom tab with beginner exercises, a 250 page Masterbook you can use as a resource, and a beginner workout program to help you get started. What part of calisthenics are you most excited to learn first, skills for yourself or ways to apply it in your coaching?

@Daniel N Welcome Daniel, glad to have you here and rebuilding strong 😊
@Shane Walsh Welcome Shane, love the mindset and glad to have you back 🚀
Some minor injuries ain't gonna stop me!
Hey guys, great to be here. Been dealing with some minor tweaks but it's time to get my calisthenics fitness back once and for all. I got pretty good at it few years back and when I returned home to the rain it was no more outdoor gym so I got a bit lost. But now I'm back and ready to go. 🚀
Some minor injuries ain't gonna stop me!
Welcome Shane. That is a great mindset to come back with, and honestly a lot of people get a bit lost when the training environment changes and the old routine disappears. The good thing is you are back now, you still have that past experience to build from, and you can use this round to rebuild in a more structured way. The good news is you do not have to figure it all out alone because there is a full course in the Classroom tab with beginner exercises, a 250 page Masterbook you can use as a resource, and a beginner workout program to help you get going. What part are you most excited to get back first, strength, skills, or just feeling like yourself in training again?
🧠 Are You Solomon? (Get Better Advice)
One of the strangest things about being human is this: We are often way better at giving advice than taking our own. If a friend came to you and said: “I feel stuck.” “I don’t know what to do next.” “I feel like I’m behind.” “I’m frustrated with my progress.” You would probably be able to give them a pretty solid answer. You would be calmer. You would be clearer. You would be less emotional. You would probably say something practical and kind. But when it is you, suddenly it feels different. Now the problem feels heavier. Now the emotions feel louder. Now your situation feels “special” or “different.” And sometimes that is true. But a lot of the time, it is just harder to think clearly when you are standing inside the problem. 🤔 A simple trick If you are not sure what to do, stop asking: “What should I do?” And instead ask: “What would I tell someone I care about if they were in this exact situation?” That “someone” could be: • a future version of you • a younger version of you • your best friend • an athlete you coach • even an imaginary person if that helps The point is to step outside the emotion long enough to see clearly. 📖 The old wisdom behind it There is an old idea that some people connect to Solomon, the image of someone being very wise when helping others, but not always making the same wise choices in their own life. That happens to all of us. Sometimes wisdom is easier from the outside. That is why it can help to almost have a “Solomon moment” with yourself. Step outside. Look at your life like it belongs to someone else for a second. Then answer from there. 💪 What this looks like in hybrid calisthenics This happens in training all the time. For example: Your shoulders feel beat up, your motivation is low, and your handstands feel worse. If a friend told you that, would you say: “Push harder. Ignore it. Do more.” Probably not. You would probably say: • take a lighter week • clean up the technique • reduce the volume

@Orfeas Onasis That is such a smart and underrated piece of advice 👏
@Val Mercier That is such a real description, and honestly a lot of people are going to feel seen by that 😂 Wanting to do too much, push harder, ignore pain, spin around between ideas, and then get overwhelmed is such a common trap. And the best part is that you already know exactly what you would tell someone else, narrow it down, focus on the most important skill, build the strength through the basics, make a plan around those goals, and actually stick to it. That is the answer right there. What do you think would help you most with the sticking part, fewer options, a clearer weekly plan, or more accountability?
Handstand on paralettes
Has anyone tried handstand on paralettes? If so would you recommend the wooden ones that are closer to the ground to start with? I’m thinking I might need to start practising using them in the meantime whilst I work on finger rehab as it might be a while before it’s ready for flat palms on the ground, particularly with the finger control require for handstand.
I think most people already mentioned the big points, but there are definitely pros and cons. If you want to start with paralettes, I would probably start with the lower wooden ones. The biggest downside is more on the mental side. Kicking up can feel scarier because it feels like you have less room to adjust compared to the floor. On the floor, people often feel like they can save themselves more easily by moving the hands. On paralettes, that can feel a bit less natural at first. Physically though, they are usually easier on the wrists, and for a lot of people they are actually easier to balance on once they get used to them. You are not using the exact same fingertip “claw” balance the way you do on the floor. Instead, there is more of a wrist and grip control element. That is one reason a lot of gymnasts learn handstands on bars and parallettes too. Once you get comfortable, they can feel very stable. So I’d look at it this way: • harder mentally at first • easier on the wrists • often easier to balance once you get used to them • and probably a very good option while your finger is still rehabbing The only other thing to get used to is bailing out, because it can feel a little different on parallettes. Not bad, just different. So yes, in your situation, I do think lower wooden parallettes would be a smart place to start.
@Zara Doering Always start against the wall. It might be for one day or just 5min. Just to feel it out.
