This was definitely a more information-heavy challenge week than usual 😅 We covered a lot. Not just one topic, but a bunch of different skills, ideas, progressions, and ways to think about training. So now I want to ask 2 things: ✅ 1. Did you enjoy this style of challenge? Did you like having: • a full post each day • a deeper breakdown • more coach perspective • more things to learn and think about And more importantly… Did you actually do something related to each post during the day, even if it was really small? That could mean: • 5 seconds of handstand work • one compression drill • one stretch • one set of pull-ups • one skill attempt • even just testing something for a minute Because that was really the goal. Not to read more. To read something useful and then take action on it. 👀 2. Quality check Also, quick quality check: Since every single one of these posts and documents gets made within a timeline, there is always a chance there could still be: • a small mistake • a wording issue • something unclear • something you want explained better • something I missed So if you noticed anything like that, please say so. That helps me improve the next ones and make the resources even better for everyone. 🎯 Final question So let me know: • Did you enjoy this kind of challenge week? • Did you do something from each post, even if it was small? • Was there any post or document you want cleaned up, fixed, or expanded? I’d love to hear what worked, what didn’t, and what you want more of.

Hello everyone, Jamie here, from Ireland. In my youth I was very active, snowboarding my way around the world. Then when it stopped, I got lazy & depressed. I didn’t feed my body with nutrition or exercise. After years of neglect, I was told I’d need a total hip replacement before I turned 40 & that I’d never snowboard again. Now I’m about to turn 50 and I’ve never felt better, or in better shape. I’ve fallen back in love with exercise, lost 70lbs and snowboarding better than I have in years. I want to increase my core strength & flexibility, and I like the ethos of Calisthenics, so I found myself here. Looking forward to finding new ways to challenge myself and it seems like this is the place. 1. My current goal is to strengthen my core & lower back, and get more flexibility in my hips. 2. My future goal would be to pull off a handstand, that would be pretty cool. I don’t even know what a muscle up is but enough of you talking about them so I’ll probably want to do that next when I find out! 3. My insta is @thesixpencestudio 4. Here’s my favourite gif and he’s reading my future goal.

Hi! I’m Andrea, in the U.S. Insta: andrealingenfelter Current goal: as an aerialist, I’m working towards a full plank in the reverse skin the cat grip on Lyra and Silks future goal: full pretty handstand Looking forward to adding intentional calisthenics to my training.

I’ve been trying to fit training in between my physically active job and my desk job. I went on a hike yesterday and thought it would be cool to do a headstand on a log bridge I found. My friend snapped a photo, and I thought it would be fun to share! Been challenging my flexibility as well.

Just getting back into working out and using calisthenics as my go to for gaining strength and mobility. I was in really good shape years ago, so I know it’s possible to do! Dropped just over 20 pounds of excess weight in the last couple months to help with joint pain. Any tips for wrists though? Pushups are hard on the wrists!
