One of the strangest things about being human is this: We are often way better at giving advice than taking our own. If a friend came to you and said: “I feel stuck.” “I don’t know what to do next.” “I feel like I’m behind.” “I’m frustrated with my progress.” You would probably be able to give them a pretty solid answer. You would be calmer. You would be clearer. You would be less emotional. You would probably say something practical and kind. But when it is you, suddenly it feels different. Now the problem feels heavier. Now the emotions feel louder. Now your situation feels “special” or “different.” And sometimes that is true. But a lot of the time, it is just harder to think clearly when you are standing inside the problem. 🤔 A simple trick If you are not sure what to do, stop asking: “What should I do?” And instead ask: “What would I tell someone I care about if they were in this exact situation?” That “someone” could be: • a future version of you • a younger version of you • your best friend • an athlete you coach • even an imaginary person if that helps The point is to step outside the emotion long enough to see clearly. 📖 The old wisdom behind it There is an old idea that some people connect to Solomon, the image of someone being very wise when helping others, but not always making the same wise choices in their own life. That happens to all of us. Sometimes wisdom is easier from the outside. That is why it can help to almost have a “Solomon moment” with yourself. Step outside. Look at your life like it belongs to someone else for a second. Then answer from there. 💪 What this looks like in hybrid calisthenics This happens in training all the time. For example: Your shoulders feel beat up, your motivation is low, and your handstands feel worse. If a friend told you that, would you say: “Push harder. Ignore it. Do more.” Probably not. You would probably say: • take a lighter week • clean up the technique • reduce the volume

Hey guys, great to be here. Been dealing with some minor tweaks but it's time to get my calisthenics fitness back once and for all. I got pretty good at it few years back and when I returned home to the rain it was no more outdoor gym so I got a bit lost. But now I'm back and ready to go. 🚀

New!! Hey all. I am a fitness coach and bootcamp instructor with my own little training business. My insta is coach_oni84 and I post workouts and client pics regularly. I am looking to increase my own knowledge in the calisthenics world so that I can start applying it to my training. Thanks!

Gym day, but we always squeeze in a couple of calisthenics moves.

Hello everyone my name is Xavier, IG: @GetfitwithX_ I’m new to calisthenics but I’ve been actively I guess you’d say “body building” for the last 1-2 years but my main goal is to become hybrid and build more lean muscle instead of being bulky. A skill I’d like to learn is to perfect the muscle up without a kip as I am doing right now
