Introduction to callisthenic : Change your body at home
I hate to break it to you
But the truth is, most calisthenics beginners FAILED to develop a turtle shell back,
Because they did too many pull-ups.
That’s why today, I want to share with you the correct way,
To develop the aesthetic reverse triangle that everyone dreams of.
When most newbies try to build that Bruce-Lee-looking back using calisthenics training,
They think they need to do pull-ups sets until they can’t squeeze upward anymore,
And once they start feeling the muscle fatigue,
They begin to wiggle back and forth on the pull-up bar like a swing on the playground.
Needless to say,
Performing pull-ups like a swing will not only kill their gains,
But also cause them backaches that make them sick of doing pull-ups for the rest of their life,
And eventually building a Mr. Olympia back will become their pie in the sky.
The hard-to-swallow pill is,
Performing a lot of pull-ups with perfect form is mission impossible for most calisthenics beginners.
I’m not saying pull up is a bad exercise,
But there are trainings that are more beginner-friendly,
Starting with exercises like reverse pull-ups, assisted pull-ups or australian pull-ups will not only build your strength for performing more pull-ups,
But it also helps you exercise in a more injury-free form.
Think of these exercises like the variant of pull-up but with a lower entry gate.
By starting your training with these exercises,
You’ll not only build a V shape physique faster,
But also master calisthenics training quickly.
