I've recently been inspired by alot of Callisthenics workouts simply because the premise is simple - body mastery. It's like the story I remember once about this guy who was playing in a snooker championship. While everyone was bringing 1-2 of their custom super grand cues, this one guy pulled a stock one out of the centre and whooped everyone's ass, lol.

For some inspiration, you can head to this page ( http://ashotofadrenaline.net/49-best-calisthenic-masters/ ) as as a starting point for names to search and do the rest on You Tube.  thumbup.gif

I've recently made this my ultimate fitness goal! But right now strength/weight ratio is still not adequate so gotta lose weight first, lol (I'm a big boned 95kgs mofo btw lol)

Thanks for the link. It's a nice read and I recognize some of the names on the list. NO. 37 on the list is Bar-Risan, a Malaysian group! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Work the negatives. Get yourself on top and lower yourself down slowly.

if you can't get yourself on top then just hang on the bar for 30 secs or something.

at least that's how I started....
from 0 to 10 max in 15 months.

oh, and it took me 2 weeks to do 1 proper pull up. So don't ever give up OR never start trying. smile.gif

Negatives are good as well as hangs. They're a good pre-training workout to condition those arms and shoulders before your work on pull ups. Another good workout to do if you cant do pull ups yet are Australian pull ups.
