Weighted calisthenics is an interesting concept that I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. This group of exercises on top of being a staple of many people’s training programs, became an independent competitive discipline. When we talk about weighted calisthenics, what most people mean is basically taking bodyweight movements and loading them with external resistance in different forms, usually weight belts, chains, vests or ankle weights. I myself am a big fan of exercises that are commonly included to this training style and regularly put them to my or my clients programs. Lately tough Ive been going deeper into analyzing this term and came to a couple of interesting conclusions that made me question the idea behind weighted calisthenics term and found some intriguing contradictions that lots of people seem to miss. The statement im gonna make right now might be a bit shocking to you but… what if I told you there’s no such thing as weighted calisthenics, and if there is then its just another name for lifting weights. For further context and explanation watch the full video. Enjoy...
