With t-rex arms and short legs I find I can squat and press as often and as high volume as I want without issue.
The only thing resultant is I muscle up when I do so.
I can more easily find the line of too much with pulling volume, it ain’t gonna happen with press or legs.
With the opposite limb lengths, and I have a buddy in mind as I write this, it’s the opposite case.
Those who can press and dip all day long should.
Those who can chin all day long should.
All day long builds your ability to do work and recover quickly up. I can’t tire out my chest anymore.
This is how you build a beast off of calisthenics ; high volume upper body work, the movement based on your leverages, enough leg work, and enough of the opposite upper body movement pattern.
Cardio Calisthenics™ is a wind building endeavour, but you can throw in some jumping jacks or jump rope too to increase that effect.
A few sets of back to back 50 rep sets on pushups and whatever else will have a muscular and cardio effect.
Eat well on top of it, throw in some isometrics, and you have a sustainable travels with you methodology right there.
I’m not stressing no gym.
I’m not worried that some movements may be temporarily down.
I’ll be walking back into the (currently covid closed) gym better, having just essentially trained as if I was in solitary.
I’m mostly doing pushups, jumping jacks, and a grip isometric anyway.
It could be done in a cell, anywhere for that matter.
I could think of the equipment I’ve lost, or I could hit the deck, and improve in a completely unbalanced manner.
Imbalance in training is fine when done smartly. I’ve been doing it smartly for years.
You’re stuck at home without a gym? Overtrain your calisthenics with an imbalance in volume.
Do it right, and you’ll walk back into the gym an animal.
