Just wanted to share the progress video of this crazy Korean calisthenics athlete

[waynec]

I know the music is a little cheesy, but I find this guy seriously inspiring. This is his progress from April 2014 to December 2016. Just shows you the value of hard work and consistency.

Question to those of you reading: who are your sources of inspiration in the BWF/calisthenics community? I like this guy, Daniel Vadnal, and Simon Ata a lot. Also, DAE just really enjoy watching training videos like these? No marketing, no talking, just pure hard work.

@waynec lol a progress video where the very first clip is a muscle up. I'll go kill myself now.

 

[deerinheadlights]

@dawn16 "in the beginning i was so weak, only 1 muscle up and 3 free standing HSPU"

 

[dawn16]

@deerinheadlights Lol why is that the start of every youtube transformation

 

[ladylove86]

@deerinheadlights it's even a strict muscle up

 

[waynec]

@dawn16 In the description he states he had been training for about two months by the start point in the video but hadn't filmed that progress. He did not start being able to muscle up apparently, but I think he probably had a decent athletic base already even to get muscle up from nothing in two months of training.

@waynec 3 HSPU is way more impressive. MU is nothing compared to the shoulder strength needed for HSPU, let alone the balance

 

[carriesatousa]

@westcoastdan How is 3 HSPU after 2 months even possible? Been lifting for over a year and I can't OHP my bodyweight. What a specimen.

 

[bellaaa]

@westcoastdan I can do 2 clean HeSPU but am nowhere near a bar muscle up. Maybe because I never trained it, let alone the explosive pullups and technique

 

[westcoastdan]

@bellaaa Nice man! Good going. But we honestly cannot really compare HeSPU's to freestanding HSPU's. The latter really are on a different level in my opinion

 

[bellaaa]

@westcoastdan I was talking about freestanding HeSPU

Pulling is my weakness so it was lagging behind my pushing strength since the beginning

 

[richyken]

@waynec he's doing handstand pushups, perfect ring muscle ups etc. at the beginning of the video. a bit later, still at the beginning he does an one armed muscle up. idk why people lie about this kind of thing. so 2 months is total bs, either he was training hard in a related discipline for a long time beforehand or he is lying.

 

[ladylove86]

@waynec I follow him on youtube. He said that he used to play with pull up bars a lot during elementary. He got inspired by street workout during/after high school, and decided to try it himself.

@dawn16 I watched a video titled "7 year planche progression". I expected it to be an older or heavier/taller guy taking a longer time to get a full planche. Nah. It was just a dude that started out at a full planche and it ended with shit like full planche archer push ups and one arm planches and shit.

 

[dawn16]

I'm so happy I'm not alone in thinking that!

 

[sozo1517]

@dawn16 That's exactly what I thought. Too funny

 

[eb3]

@dawn16 Hahah. I know, I thought he would build up to it!

 

[dawn16]

@waynec The move at 9:58 is unreal!

 

[jessica50]

@dawn16 Yeah man jesus my eyes just got wider and wider the lower down he went. That was insane

 

[dawn16]

@jessica50 To extend his arms like that... so impressive.
