This is just a quick tip for those that want to combine calisthenics with bodybuilding or powerlifting. Maybe it’s a “No sh*t, Sherlock” kind of tip… but I think it’s easy to forget the importance of careful programming when combining different training methods.

In particular, it can be surprising to find that the chest workout you did two days ago can still negatively impact on your calisthenics performance. You’ll not only be weaker if you’re not fully recovered - it actually affects mobility, too! So, it can be pretty tricky getting into a handstand.

Keep this in mind when designing your routines. Always place skills training at the start of your workouts/start of the week. Leave enough time to recover between your last heavy lifting session and your first skills workout.

Remember, as well, that if you have DOMs, your body still has recovering to do. In terms of stimulating more muscle growth, you're not getting much bang for your buck by interrupting this process.

You will often need to compromise a little. Calisthenics can build a great physique by developing areas missed by other forms of strength training. Strength training can fill in gaps like leg strength and give you more strength for your moves.

But there’s a reason most professional bodybuilders don’t learn advanced calisthenics skills on the side (though I can think of two lol). Point is: combining training styles is a choice that you need to consider carefully.

Personally, I love the idea of being built like a Superhero and able to defy gravity like one, too!
