We put a lot of focus on training hard, progressing our exercises, and staying consistent. But the work you do outside of your workouts matters too. If you're training hard, which I know most of you here are, your body needs enough protein to recover, maintain/build muscle, and adapt to your training. A simple guideline to use is: 🥩 Around 2g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day. For example: If you weigh 90 kg: 90 × 2g = 180g of protein per day. You don't have to hit the exact number perfectly every single day, but it's a great target to aim for, especially when you're training consistently and want to maximize your progress. Now I'm curious 👀 Are you currently getting around 2g of protein per kg of bodyweight every day? And if you know it, how many grams are you currently eating per day? 👇

We all have that ONE thing in our training we know we should be doing… but somehow keep avoiding. Maybe it’s: ❌ The mobility work you always skip. ❌ The weak progression you hate training. ❌ The exercise you’re terrible at. ❌ Recording your sets and actually analyzing your technique. ❌ Training the skill that exposes your biggest weakness. It’s easy to spend most of our time doing the things we’re already good at. They feel good. They’re fun. And they make us feel strong. But very often, the thing you keep avoiding is exactly the thing that would make you progress the fastest. If your planche is limited by straight-arm strength, doing more of what you’re already strong at won’t fix it. If your handstand is limited by balance, endlessly building more pressing strength won’t solve the problem. Sometimes progress comes from asking yourself: “What am I avoiding because I’m bad at it?” And then making THAT a priority. So, be honest with yourself today 👀 👇 What’s ONE thing in your training that you know you should be doing more of, but keep avoiding?

Calisthenics is such a unique sport. For some, it's about mastering skills they once thought were impossible. For others, it's about becoming stronger, healthier, or proving something to themselves. It teaches patience, discipline, consistency, and the value of earning your progress. Everyone starts for a reason... but many of us stay for a completely different one. So here's today's question: If you could only give ONE reason why you pursue calisthenics, what would it be? Maybe it's: - The freedom of controlling your own body 🤸 - Becoming stronger, physically and mentally 💪 - The discipline it has built 🧠 - The amazing community ❤️ Or maybe it's something completely different. If you had to choose just one thing, what keeps you coming back to calisthenics? I'm looking forward to reading your answers! 👇

I'm curious... how many years have you been training? It doesn't have to be just calisthenics. I'd love to know how long you've been physically active in general. Drop a comment below with: - 🏋️ Total years you've been training One thing that's easy to forget is that the earlier you build a strong, healthy body, the easier it is to maintain it later in life. Every workout you complete today is an investment in your future. You're not just working towards a planche, front lever, or handstand. You're building habits, strength, tendons, and health that will benefit you for decades. So I also want to give you some credit. By being here, showing up, and consistently putting in the work, you're doing something that will improve your quality of life far beyond calisthenics. That's something to be proud of. I have personally been a swimmer for 12 years and have been doing calisthenics for over 9 years, so that is 21 years in total. Now it's your turn! 👇

💡 What's one piece of advice you wish you heard when you first started calisthenics? Imagine you could go back and meet yourself on your very first day of training. Knowing everything you know now... what would you say? Maybe you'd tell yourself to: ✅ Focus on consistency instead of chasing quick results. ✅ Master the basics before worrying about advanced skills. ✅ Film your sets to improve your technique. ✅ Stop comparing yourself to others. ✅ Be patient; strength takes time to build. We all make mistakes when we start, but those lessons become incredibly valuable once we've been training for a while. Whether you've been training for 3 months or 10 years, there's someone in this community who could benefit from your experience. 👇 If you could give your beginner self ONE piece of advice, what would it be? Let's fill the comments with advice that can help both beginners and experienced athletes progress faster. 💪
