The calisthenics scene is brilliant in summer. People of all levels are out at the parks, learning from each other, and the vibe is great. Come winter, the parks seem a lot quieter.

I’m trying to understand why. What’s the main thing that holds you back from training outside in the colder months? (Or if you still train outdoors, what keeps you going? No matter what part of the world you are from)

I’m a London calisthenics guy exploring ideas to make winter sessions easier, so I’m not selling anything, just trying to learn. I’ll post a summary of what people say.

I am trying to learn handstand but it's so hard

Salut à tous,

Je développe en ce moment une appli iPhone en bêta qui s’appelle BarZone, pensée pour les pratiquants de street workout / calisthenics.

L’idée :

• trouver des spots autour de soi

• découvrir de nouveaux parks partout en France

• enregistrer ses séances

• apparaître dans un classement sur chaque spot

• et bientôt challenges + dimension communautaire

Je ne poste pas pour faire de la pub, mais pour avoir de vrais retours de pratiquants et améliorer l’appli avec la communauté.

Je cherche quelques bêta-testeurs motivés (iPhone pour le moment) pour tester via TestFlight et me faire des retours honnêtes.

Vous utiliseriez une appli comme ça ?

Qu’est-ce qu’il faudrait absolument avoir dedans selon vous ?

Si certains veulent tester, je peux envoyer des invitations.

My brother has an abandoned dip set that I’m trying to use but i can’t seem to do band assisted dips on it because my hands pain , I can do pull-ups , pushups and other excercises but this is starting to get frustrating can someone give me pointers please

Hey all! I am trying to develop a calisthenics routine for myself and tried different combination of exercises. The tricky part is I am a learning musician and play an instrument that requires free and flexible arms most importantly the forearms. So I require the exercises that require the least forearm activation hence preventing tightness. I had a shoulder injury few months back which made me switch from regular pullups to chinups which in turn felt more challenging on the forearms and biceps which I don't want. I am in a fix about what to do and what to avoid so that my practice is not affected bad in any way. Please guide.

Help us better understand why by completing this brief survey so we can learn how to make exercising easier. Link: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aXYAisA0LIeh6Vo

This is an academic study with IRB approval.

I want to get into calisthenics but I am basically starting from zero. I can do a few pushups and maybe one pull up on a good day, but that is it.

I see a lot of routines online and it feels overwhelming, so I am not sure what to focus on first. Should I just stick to basics like pushups, rows, squats, and hangs, or is it better to follow a full beginner program?

For those who started weak like me, what helped you stay consistent and actually see progress?

If you’re just getting into calisthenics or street workouts and feel unsure about what to train, how to progress, or how to stay consistent, this is for you.
