Transitioning from lifting weights to calisthenics was one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in my fitness journey. I quickly realized that what worked in the gym didn’t always translate to bodyweight training, and I had to relearn how to build strength, control, and mobility in entirely new ways.
In this video, I break down everything I wish I knew before making the switch—how to structure your training, avoid common mistakes, and develop the mobility needed for advanced movements. Whether you're struggling with pull-ups, muscle-ups, or just adapting to a different style of training, this guide will help you transition smoothly and see real progress.
