What Is The Best Training Split For Calisthenics?! (Skills, Strength, Mass & Flexibility)

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses the best training splits for calisthenics, emphasizing the importance of recovery and individualization in training programs. He outlines three common training splits: full body, Push-Pull-Legs, and upper-lower, detailing their pros and cons.

Training Splits

• Full Body Training: Typically done three times a week, it allows beginners to practice various movements frequently. However, it may not provide sufficient recovery time, leading to suboptimal results for those beyond the beginner stage. The presenter suggests that doing full body workouts twice a week might yield better outcomes.
• Push-Pull-Legs: This split is popular and usually performed six times a week. While it enables higher volume training for muscle growth, it may hinder recovery and not be ideal for developing strength or skills that engage multiple muscle groups, such as the muscle-up.
• Upper-Lower Split: The presenter favors this split, which is performed four times a week, as it offers ample recovery time and allows for effective pairing of push and pull exercises. He suggests that alternating between upper and lower body sessions three times a week can maximize recovery and lead to better progress.

The presenter concludes that the best training approach varies for each individual, and emphasizes that recovery is crucial for long-term success in calisthenics. He encourages viewers to consider their personal training needs and offers programs through his platform, Tribe, for further guidance.
