Calisthenics: Bodyweight Training for Strength and Mobility
(Digital eBook)

• Foundations: Movement Patterns, Joint Preparation, and Assessment
  Calisthenics builds on a small set of movement patterns that appear in every exercise you will learn. These patterns are the push, the pull, the squat, the hinge, the lunge, and the carry or hold.
• Push Progressions: From Wall Push-Ups to One-Arm Variations
  The push pattern in calisthenics trains the chest, shoulders, and triceps through horizontal and vertical pressing. Before adding difficulty, understand what the scapulae should do.
• Pull Progressions: Doorframe Rows to Towel Pull-Ups and Beyond
  A doorframe row is the most accessible horizontal pull for beginners. Stand facing an open door, feet hip-width apart, and grip the doorframe at shoulder height with both hands.
• Lower Body Series: Squats, Lunges, Single-Leg Work, and Plyometric Basics
  The squat is the foundational lower body movement pattern. It trains the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves while demanding core stability and hip mobility.
• Core and Mobility Integration: Hanging, Planking, and Dynamic Flexibility
  Hanging from a bar or sturdy overhead structure builds grip strength, lets the spine lengthen gently, and teaches the shoulders to stabilize under load. Start with a dead hang: grasp the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulders, palms facing away, and let your body hang completely relaxed.
• Programming: Weekly Structure, Deloads, and Long-Term Progression
  A sustainable calisthenics program balances frequency, intensity, and recovery. Most adults training without equipment do well with three to four dedicated sessions per week, each lasting 45 to 60 minutes including warm-up and mobility work.
