 First question is from the free-range chicken. How would you compare calisthenics to weight training for building muscle improving health and general wellness? Well, okay, so first off you want to understand that the umbrella of resistance training covers calisthenics as well as weights or bands or machines it's a style of training in which you're using resistance with the sole goal of Building strength and building muscle. Okay, so we compare calisthenics to weight training. They do look different However, you can manipulate your body with calisthenics to prove to to create some pretty high tension heavy-style Exercises especially when you use a tool like a suspension trainer when you have a suspension trainer You now have a whole bunch of different exercise that open up to you and all of them are muscle building now some of the best muscle building exercises are Ones with barbells, but there's also some body weight Muscle building exercises that are up there with some of the best ones I mean a pull-up for example is a body weight exercise and that could be considered calisthenics and that's Extremely valuable dip a dip is another a handstand push-up. For example is another phenomenal exercise It's all resistance training and if you're unless you're a specific type of athlete or your goals are very very very specific like You're a bodybuilder. You compete in bodybuilding or you're a powerlifter or you're a kettlebell, you know expert or whatever Your best bet is to use a mix of different forms of resistance training and that will that will do is that'll develop a very balanced aesthetic Looking physique for most people. So I love body weight exercises in Combination with with weights and suspension trainers are your best bet with that I think yeah, if you think suspension trainers and then trying to find, you know more ways to progress through that if you look at There was a big trend for this for a while with like those bar athletes and you know The calisthenic kings and people like that that were really kind of showing a whole new wave of Intensity with you know that they were adding to these body weight type exercises and using the bar for all kinds of different moves And things so it's there is a valid way to to really progress just by using your own body weight However, I think a lot of people are more familiar with you know weights And how to program that this is kind of another thing. That's a little bit more Nitch and unique. I mean if you're a coach, okay, if you're a good coach this belongs in every routine whether you Intermittently have body weight exercises built into their weight training routine or you actually have phases where you go through where you make your client You know spend two three four weeks of just doing body weight exercises No matter how you you drum it up it belongs as a good coach It belongs somewhere in almost everybody's routine unless you have a very specific goal like Sal said and by specific It's like sports specific because even if you have a specific goal like I want to lose 30 pounds Or I want to build 10 pounds of muscle those belong in there just for overall health and longevity So if you're a coach, this has got to be something you you intermittently put into the routine or make sure you always keep Somewhat these body weight exercises if you're a consumer or a listener and you're and you build your own routine It's important that you do these it's important that you incorporate them There's too much benefit in training body weight type of training calisthenics to not do them at all whatsoever Even if you think that your main goal is to build muscle and that that's not the fastest way potentially to build muscle If it's something you never do it absolutely is it's just like the novelty that we talk about the importance of that For the body to adapt and keep changing if you're always Using the same machines are always doing the same exercises and training in the same modality And you never utilize some of these tools like this like a suspension trainer or doing a calisthenic type of phase You're really missing out on a lot of benefits Oh, yeah, I mean if you if you work out primarily with weights and let's say you did let's say you signed up it for Map suspension so you now map suspension is all suspension training You can expect to gain some muscle You should expect to gain a little bit of muscle Mobility and different a different type of strength because it's a different type of resistance training So they're all all when you look at that whole umbrella again of resistance training If we you know each one has its strengths and its weaknesses But I think the point that we're making that's real important is don't limit yourself to one Utilize all of them and again, you'll develop a very balanced aesthetic functional physique from doing that
