After maxing out like that you need 1-3 days recovery. But recovery doesn't mean not doing anything or utilizing your muscles. It just means going lighter, like a walk.

I've posted this before. Because unlike some cats that be cappin, I actually do this shyt. Every single day.

You burn more calories walking, then you do running, and if you're really doing the calisthenics, especially in reps of 30 or more, you're burning more carbs then you are fat, thus why you need to eat right, and provide your body with the nutrients it needs to continue to build correctly.

There's an ebb and flow though, I don't always bang out my reps consistently, especially if I'm trying to stay in a particular heart rate zone. So if that means I gotta do 10 reps of pushups, then 10 squats, then 10 leg lifts, then 10 dips, then 10 pullups, I'll do that entire cycle over and over again while keeping my heart rate in a particular zone until my workout is complete.

There's days when I don't have to workout in a zone so it's nothing to keep my heart rate at 155 for 55 mins straight.


That and I don't often Max out. When you do that then you can't work out the next day or 2. Always leave a Lil in the tank.

It definitely gets easier. I remember when 125 pushups a day had me sore like a mf. Now 300 a day is nothing. I just feel normal the next day. Also my Achilles heels and calves would hurt running 7 miles. Now it's nothing. Your body becomes acclimated.
To piggyback off those 2 pictures from a Polar exercise app, this guy helps to explain...for anyone else who wants more detail.

How long do these workouts take? I feel like calisthenics is for people who don’t work. It seems like it would take hours to get done.

Your body would utilize other sources for energy, breakdown muscle.
There was a thread yesterday where nikkas said they lifted weights for 2-3 hours so

They buggin. A good elite session take bout 45-1hr. They must be was on something. Cardio be boring to, but maybe I need to push through.

If you're taking time between sets say 3 sets of 5 and doing 2 minutes rest in between, that's 6 minutes rest.

So say you're doing

Bench
Squat
Overhead press
Deadlife
Hang clean

There's 30 minutes of rest for those workouts.

So when I do a complete calisthenics workout I do

Lunges
Squats dips
Pushups
Dips
Pullups
Pike presses

And I don't rush through the workout just to say it's done. Full range of motion, cautious not to pull or jerk. Plenty of times I'll need to scale down the ratios 15, 10, 10, 8, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 etc......so blowing past an hour and actually working is really easy.

Where It’s Not Safe

At first took an 1 hr 30-45 I woke up early did it in the morning

Now I can cut it down to 45- 1 hr. The goal is to get so good at it you do it faster with less recovery time

Or even better, weighted calisthenics >>>

Weights are for pretty boys

but calisthenics are for MEN

I hit my record of 1000 Pull ups, 1000 Push Ups every other day plus 500 crunches/or a 2 min plank 4-5 days a week.10 minute jump rope for a warm up.

I’m at 300 burpees in one sitting trying to get 1000 before the end of summer 2022 and man that shyt is NO JOKE. I be gassed by like 90. Used to be gassed at 10 :mjlol:. And the next goal is to do all weighted calisthenics with a 40 lb vest Pull ups Pushups & Burpees.
:picard: God forbid my bytch leave, it’s already a task to get her back but now my pipe game gotta compete with nikkas who’s doing workouts like this :wow:
