Calisthenics is a sport that grows in recognition every day. Due to popular events, online celebrities and viral videos more and more people want to try their hand in bodyweight training. As the popularity increases, a natural thing would be to create some kind of standards, allowing us to access an athlete's level. This kind of standarts could provide lots of benefits and opportunities. It could be for instance a great reference point for all kinds of tutorials or competitions and would allow to create a certain order based on difficulty of exercises. We can see that working pretty well in other sports like for example powerlifting or gymnastics, which is a sport calisthenics takes a lot from. We can hear many times terms like "advanced calisthenics". But how can we determine what creates the needed requirements? At the end of the day we still don't have any universal form of accessing level in calisthenics - that would be applicable and measurable in at least majority of cases. This fact made me question the whole concept.
Is this idea even realistic and worth trying to introduce? Or maybe there are certain barriers that for some reasons don't allow us to classify our sport's elements in any logical way? Today I will do my best to analyze this matter and try to find the answer to this question. The second part of this video is a bonus that might be interesting for you to watch as well. Im gonna complete a survey created by Tom Merrick and hopefully find out how my abilities present against bodyweight athletes population. Enjoy
