  • Just a heads up: this video is now available in better quality! The reporter who interviewed Hit put up the footage on his own channel:

    /watch?v=qj5qVXtWy48

    I REALLY hope Hit doesn't take down his own video since it has an introduction, not to mention loads of views and comments! Maybe just link to it with an annotation?

  • Seems like a really nice guy who cares about others, and he's smart.

  • Yoo, calisthenicskingz. Could you give me the address of this park with pullbars and stuff. Want to see it in google street view. I'm actually considering taking a journey to Bronx, and I absolutely wanna visit "your" park.

  • wot is name of the lady presenter she is fine?

  • woooow, thats one hot black news reporter girl. ah, but she was all upons you.

  • Where can i get gloves like yours?

  • good sHit man. calisthenics LEAD THE WAY, HOOAH!

  • Man talk about results. As big and cut as a weight trained bodybuilder. Do you do this with calisthenics alone? I don't doubt you just wondering. impressive. Wish we had parks like that were I'm from.

  • HitMan has what i been trying to get in the gym for years

  • How do u guys substitute for the deadlift or other posterior-chain exercises?

  • CK!!! better den seals, beastmode, xtreme, highlandaz, barbarians all dem bumz

  • we appreciate the recognition, however Bar-barians, Beastmode & Harlem Seals are very good friends of ours and they are all very elite athletes as well.

  • g0t coleman?

  • Big up to the whole CK crew, spread the truth

  • WOW! Incredible development and technique-surely he has done this most of his life. And did he develop his physique without weight? Look at him at 0:21: he looks almost like a bodybuilder.

  • That presenter badly needs a cock in her arse, fit as fuck. Good work on the interview too bro

  • agreed...she is bangin!

  • Fantastic!

    I was most impressed by your involvement with kids. I truly believe this should be a must in all school curicullum. I think if it was mandatory that every student learned these body weight routines every morning 2 to 3 hours we would have unbelievable achievers.

    I ordered the instructional vid.

  • okay listen you puny boney scrawny individuals.

    Calisthetics works out core strength and longevity for muscles.

    Lets say you gained muscles through calisthetics.

    And then there was a guy who lifted weights and got muscles. the man that lifted weights his muscles will wear out in a month of not lifting. but the calisthetic man will have his muscles for the rest of his life. dont believe me? research it then you stupid bitch. =)

  • I see what you mean. For instance, I noticed that after I began doing pulls and chins, my dead lift, bench press, and lat-pull increased.

  • weights will give u more muscles.. but, you don't get stronger! by using this method u getting stronger, then using only weights... world strongest using their body weight often to get stronger.. :)

  • world strongest using their body weight often to get stronger.. :)

    uh dude, no they dont. whered you get that information from?

  • You guys are the TRUTH!

  • calisthenic kingz rule! keep doing what you do

  • I b-boy. We use a lot of this type of fitness routines in the dance. Much props to you Kal Kings for pushing this. I strongly believe what your doing and I know because it is working for me.

  • You can get strong with your body weight but you will develop strength more quickly with weights. Also your joints will become stronger with weights because they will become used to heavier weights. If you can go to a gym or have weights at home I recommend using them. This video was primarily for people in a specific area without access to a gym.

  • best looking news lady i've ever seen... get her number? =P

  • damn she is FINE!!!!!!!!!

  • I have to say it's a bit unfair to claim bodyweight exercise will give you a better body than weights. It depends highly on what you're doing for either of these, what you eat (and when you eat it), and your genetics.

  • nah, body excercises to work better, most of the time your using your whole body therefore better looking body overall and quicker, weighst you sit down, or lie down, plus this way yours muscles learn to work together to achieve optimum performance and so you can perform alot of those ''gymnastic'' like moves

    weights dont help nada with balance

  • Put a heavy weight over your head. Tell me that you don't need balance to stabilize it.

    I'm not talking about stupid, useless exercises like curls or skullcrushers or anything along those lines. I'm talking full body heavy compound lifts: Squat, Deadlift, Power Clean, Bench, and Overhead Standing Press.

    Bodyweight exercises plateau quite quickly because you don't keep increasing the intensity. The intensity stays the same while you adapt.

  • love doing full body/compound exercises. hate doing iso...however, bodyweight exercises can still be altered to not plateau. pushups you can turn into one handed. or clapping pushups. or double claps, and then there's clapping one in front then again behind your back before landing. There's always a way to increase intensity even for body weight. you can always mix the 2 worlds and add weight to your body (weight vest, pullups with weight attached,etc.) The best is to have a variety

  • i think a better answer is it all depends on how you train. Btu I have to agree that body weight exercises do have the advantage of using mostly your entire body weight like megadude said, and usually these exercises are more difficult because you need to keep balance while trying to do the exercise. and think of it look at the physique of gymnasts. They barely do any weights.

  • also, genetics isn't as much as a factor as people think. Yes, it's true that we are born with either mostly slow twitch or fast twitch muscle fibers, btu that can be modified. It's all about HOW you train

  • Also, your hormonal profile, limb length and therefore leverage, sarcoplasmic mitochondria, capillary beds, etc. etc. etc. Genetics plays a huuuuuuge role, and when talking physique, hormones is one of the biggest factors, along with nutrition and PROPER training methods. How you train is extremely important, I agree, but genetics does make it harder or easier for one depending on their goals and their genetics.

  • Good points kc. I completely igorned hormonal profile. I misinterpreted my point. I totally agree it makes them harder if you have certain genetic issues, I meant it didn't mean someone with specific issues couldn't become the shape the guy is in the video with the proper training. Btu very true, it is hard for many people cuz of genetic factors.

  • TRUE!

  • wow that news lady is hot!!!

  • My father told me about workouts like these that he did back in the day on Washington. He used to live in the 1420 building on Washington. Apparently this is how they trained in the projects. He tried to grow me up on this, but I was rather stubborn. I still love my pushups and dips though.

    I dig this, guys. Keep it up. Weights definitely aren't always better than using your body.

  • yes m8, made the news, well done

  • do you have to be flexible for the scorpion push up, or is it mostly balance and tecnique

  • I received my DVD in the mail today! :)

  • so damn nice!

  • Wow! super human. good for you & getting kids interested is great 5*2U

    Chantelle xx ♫♫♪♪

  • thanks.

  • let me ask you, how long does it take, to start to see some good results if you apply yourself really hard.

  • not long at all, if the will is there

  • uhmmmm, you can say about a year and a half. since about the middle of last summer, not the one that just passed.

    I was around 200 lbs, got down to 165 with cardio and stuff, now I'm hovering between 175-180. all that wweight is just muscle I've packed on through these workouts.

    also, I have no set workout, when I first started I did, but now I just do this stuff all day lol. it just feels natural and easy after a while. it's second nature, and keeps me looking lean!

  • getting this fit with calisthenics is possible. he has obviously taken it to extremes no one even thinks of doing. however, I went from flab to fat in under a year of just pushups, pullups, situps, crunches, and dips. and now after about two years I have a 6 pack, not an 8, but still pretty fuckin cool. just from utilizing my own weight.

  • heh how much do your arms measure? do you use weight vests or dipbelts? i don't.

  • no I don't use any extra weights, and my right arm measure 15.5 inches and my left is just about 15. it's my weak arm so I'm trying to even them out slowly. but really all I've used is my own body weight to build muscle, there are literally hundreds of different things you can do to utilize your own weight to build muscle and burn fat.

    the only weights I ever used were around my wrists and ankles when I did cardio alot last year

  • Hmm good to hear that, but how long have you been training with bodyweight only?

  • But i forgot to say, 2 years for building this type of body is not enough.

  • Man it would be very good if u could make a HARDCORE LEG ROUTINE. Or just a few exercises.

    But i´m believing that your body got developed from 98 until now. I mean in 98 when you stopped to train with weights u started with calisthenics, after seeing results with weights. Anyway i think that someone can build muscle with calisthenics there is no secret however. It has to be challenging that´s all

  • what? so he did lift weights before? did he get big first with them then switched to calisthenics? i knew it! he didn't get that body from scratch with only calisthenics!

  • bullshit man, i don't believe you don't do ANY weights at all, just look at your body, you are way more ripped than all the other guys who do the same thing as you, how do you explain that?

    Plus i saw you with some weight vest in another video, WEIGHT VEST, that's using weights right there homie.

    swear to God you got that body by bodyweight alone and i'll believe you.

    Much respect though, you a beast nonetheless.

  • Getting "ripped" doesn't require weights. Getting bigger muscles do and the dude is sculpted, he's not "big", per se. There's a difference. He has functional size. A lot of these big buff dudes like myself, are worthless...lol. Just got a bunch of bulging muscles that look good on the beach, or for moving massive amounts of weight in the gym but, it's mostly non-functional. Moving your body the way this cat does takes working out to a whole new level.

  • hee, either way, he has big arms, those are not just defined man, look at them! they're big!

  • Calisthenics are somewhat anabolic and DO build muscles, just on a limited scale.

  • so what's the scale then? what's the limit for them?

  • Let's just put it like this, if you want to grow bigger muscles by doing calisthenics, you have to pack on weights. So if you're gonna do pull-ups or chin-ups, you can't be doing all of that fly, ghetto-gymnatics my man is doing here. You need to put on a weight belt and overload the muscles...not the bones, the ligaments, tendons, or joints...the muscles, with heavier weight. Everything else is biomechanics and kinesiology, my dude.

  • Perfect promo! Really, but there is more, right?

    Can u give any advice on diet?

    What is your current diet like?

    I live in Germany so i hope to see more youtube vids.

    Peace

  • yes there is much more to come.

  • how can i get the dvd?

  • from our website.

  • leave weight lifting to the fools

  • aww just ruined it for me now i know hitman is actually human!. . ha just playin HIT but this is just raw! waitin on the instructional dvd!

  • What an awesome guy! I hope great things happen to him

  • thanks same to you.

  • jesus crist im gettin back at work out

  • lol.

  • Keep up the good work...you helped me realize that Calisthenics was the one component that was missing in my daily workout routine...

    Peace.

  • great video,i first want to give you your props..job well done..i also use calisthenics and for me the only way to workout...keep it up

  • ok..thanks for the answer..but..why do u have 14 int'l certifications if u just personal train? are they certifications (which means u must have a lot of money to pay for those cause certifications dont come cheap..NASM alone is $800) or are they workshops?

  • Good promo spot. QUESTION: U state anyone can do these exercises at a park if they cant go to a gym. So u actually train ur clients to do the human flag and upside push ups? Another question, it seems as though its all upper body..do u guys do any lower body calisthenics? These are just questions I have so dont take this in an offensive manner. I wrote u up before and u kinda came of in a"different manner."

  • thanks. yes ANYONE can do these exercises in a park or gym. no i don't train my clients to do human flags, but i do incorporate basic calisthenics exercises in with they're fitness program that i design for them. i thought you were a trainer as well ??????? anyway when you have as many certifications as i do ( 14 international certifications that is) you learn to become very creative. and yes we have leg exercises on our current dvd, and we'll have more on our instructional.

  • you are awesome!

    i have the same views as you do!

    calisthenics is the best wasy of working out

    whether you have money or not

    dont waste it on a gym!

    there expensive

    i think im going to upload a workout video later this month

  • thanks. More & more people are starting to get involved.

  • Congratulations - I lived a sedentary lifestyle as a young person up until two months ago. I workout regularly now doing calisthenics or weightlifting and have been eating cleaner than ever. Keep it up!

  • so when's the DVD's coming out?

  • Congratulations on the New Review. Its definitely a better way of life especially in the lower income areas where there is a park. You can work it on whatever you have, who needs gyms, is my motto. Thaks again for the motivation.

  • thanks.
