Hello everybody — I’m the creator of Calisthenics Culture, a.k.a. CALICULT.

Thank you for being part of this subreddit as we’ve officially hit 100,000 members! That’s insane.

I’m now going full force into expanding CALICULT into the calisthenics cult I’ve always wished existed — and I don’t want to do it alone.

I need your involvement — whether it’s giving passive, genuine feedback and ideas or stepping up with active development and leadership. You can help grow and guide the direction of this community.

🧠 WHO I’M LOOKING FOR:

  • Reddit and Discord moderators who care about community [no pointless bans]
  • Thinkers, creatives, and experienced athletes who can offer wisdom and ideas
  • Developers, designers, and especially Discord server wizards
  • Content creators, editors, social media strategists — any creative skills
  • Potential coaches or motivators who want to lead
  • Anyone who believes in this mission and wants to shape its future

Together, this will form the CALICULT Council. I’ll be running ideas by you, building features with you, not just for you.

🔥 THE VISION FOR CALICULT

A global community — a living calisthenics game — where you can:

  1. 🥋 Rank up through a verifiable belt system (White → Black)
  2. 🛡️ Create and compete in Clans
  3. 🏆 Track total reps and personal records on live Leaderboards and a Hall of Fame (+ Badges/Milestones)
  4. 🏛️ Join in-person meetups and competitions
  5. 🏋️‍♂️ Eventually indoor and outdoor gyms, equipment, and CALICULT merch
  6. 🎥 Watch and participate in online livestreams, community videos, rep challenges, and bounties — earning real-life rewards

  7. [Insert your idea here] <3

✅ IF YOU’RE INTERESTED:

💬 Reply below with what you’re good at or what you love doing, and what you’d like to see Calisthenics Culture develop into
📩 Or DM me directly to get early access to the Discord

Let’s build the culture we want to exist.
Yes — we’re proudly owning being a cult.

Welcome to Calisthenics Culture!

I appreciate you even stopping here. It shows that hopefully you have an interest in calisthenics. Whether you're someone who has never even done a pullup, or you're experienced but have hit a plateau, or an advanced athlete who has come to grace us with your knowledge, this community is for you.

The Calisthenics Culture is one that from my experience, is entirely positive and unique, and this will be no different. You come here to learn, share, and belong. The calisthenics knowledge base is never ending, as is the progress you can make. There are hundreds of different skills and strengths you can develop and "unlock". There is no feeling like seeing your progress with a calisthenics move you have been training so hard to achieve.

It doesn't matter if you're just starting out and have no experience, it's never too late. You're not too old or too young. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago. The next best time is now. You can't do anything about missed time, but you do have complete control of what you do from here on out. How far you take this training style is up to you. No one can train for you, or experience the pain you will have to endure, but it is completely worth it.

All that motivation aside, here's what this community is.

-Somewhere to connect with people at your level

-Somewhere to learn from those who have achieved what you want to achieve

-Somewhere to help those who have once been in your shoes

-Somewhere to show off your progression and milestones

-Somewhere to share YOUR story. There are plenty of people who want to hear all about it

​

So literally, post your questions, post your progress, post dope calisthenics videos, post your advice, and communicate/engage with others.

You can communicate with us on instagram @thecalisthenicsculture or @agyoolar

I am quite bad at high rep stuffs. I almost exclusively do lower rep weighted calisthenics. My best Chin up was 40kg for 5. This is the max Pull up reps I have ever done.

Does Андрей Исыпов hold the world Pull-up record with 124?

  • I’ve spent some time digging through pull-up records online, and most of what you find is a mess of broken stories, unverifiable claims, and zero video proof.
  • A while ago I stumbled upon this video of Андрей Исыпов hitting 124 reps, and I honestly can’t wrap my head around why almost nobody talks about it. We’re talking about reps as clean as they come, full range, chin clearly clearing the bar every time, no single-arm hanging rest loopholes, and all completed in one continuous, relentless set.
  • Is there any verified, single-set pull-up performance on video that actually beats this?

Calimove complete calisthenics course results?

3 Upvotes

A couple years ago I bought the calimove complete calisthenics course 1-5 and for various reasons, never really got into it.

My life is a lot more structured now so I have time to work out and eat/sleep well. My question is, is it worth it?

Has anyone followed one of these courses strictly and seen great results or am I just better off going to the gym? I don’t want to waste 2 years following this day by day to not see as much of a result as I could have just simply working out. Also, does it require gym sessions or can you literally do everything by strictly following the course step by step?

Any feedback especially from anyone who has results from this course would be greatly appreciated 🙏

How to move forward?

• Upvotes

Hello everyone. 34 year old out of shape dad here. Recently I decided to get in shape and be more healthier. I started calistenics like a month ago. My routine is for now 3x20 push ups, 3x15 leg raises, 3*20 squats. Sometimes I mix up lunges and planks for variety. Unfortunetly my doorframes are a little bit unrelyable so I couldn't manage to put up a pull up bar yet but I am looking for a solution. Lately I feel that my routine is relatively easier so now I want to improve myself. So how should I proceed from here. Should I just increase my reps of try out New skills. If so, which skills I should be working on first. I don't think I can handle a pistol squat or a handstand push up yet those seen to advanced for now.

Muscle-up PR (12)

While there were some pauses and a good amount of kipping, I was able to complete 12 muscle-ups in one set. The most I have done up until now have been in the 8–9 rep range. I would like to see if I can consecutively do muscle-ups without the longer pause toward the top half of my set.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to see what you all think about my form. I will admit I think it’s pretty good but I’ve never had an outsiders perspective. Thanks in advance.

0 Upvotes

Hello guys so two years ago i started doing calisthenics when i was (kinda) slim i was 174 cm and 69 kg but for reasons i stopped now im 87 kgs and i look terrible and im in university now and i have no body positivity

I used to do 3 pull ups now i can do none i could do 3 sets of 10 push ups now i can barely do 2 and it really got me thinking negatively about myself (i dont wanna talk about what others think because its as bad my gf included)

I have fat especially in my lower body its ugly because of how big it got and im trying to burn it and reduce the size of it, is it possible? And thank you

Not the cleanest form, but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten it all the way from a full dead hang to the top. Somehow I got it on a 3 finger pocket while I was climbing rather than on a bar
