I first discovered calisthenics in 2020, thanks to Chris Heria’s inspiring workouts. Before that, my gym routine was pretty inconsistent—I’d hit the gym maybe once or twice a week, but I struggled to be consistent. Calisthenics caught my eye because it promised more than just muscle; it offered functional strength and honestly looked like way more fun. I was quickly hooked, diving into workouts with very high volume. Without realizing it, I was training for hypertrophy, which led to a lot of muscle gains – and without ever going back to the gym. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. For the first three years, my training lacked structure and proper programming, and it took a toll. I dealt with injuries and slow progress, which was frustrating. Everything changed in 2023 when I finally learned how to properly program and structure my workouts. This new approach not only helped me avoid injuries but also accelerated my progress. Now, I’m stronger, healthier, and more knowledgeable about effective training techniques. My journey has taught me a lot, and I want to share those lessons with you. My goal is to help you avoid the mistakes I made so you can achieve your fitness goals safely and steadily. Let’s build functional strength together and enjoy every step of the way.
