Differences between weight training and Calisthenics.

In this article you will understand the differences when it comes to weight training or Calisthenics training.

Strength training consists of generating a stimulus in our body that manages to make us stronger over time. To achieve this, it is necessary to perform a progressive overload, that is, to gradually increase the intensity to force our body to adapt.

When you work with weights, machines or pulleys you can get this progression from minute one. You can train an exercise like bench press, squat, pull, etc. and add little by little as you get stronger. This type of progression is very simple and very efficient when it comes to being able to progress and avoid injuries.

However, when you train with the weight of your own body the progression is more complex. You may want to do push-ups on the floor and you won't have strength. You may try to make dominoes and have difficulty getting hung on the bar. Don't even think about pulling your arms!

Traditionally, calisthenics works through progressions following patterns of movements and positions that facilitate the execution of an exercise. For example: to get push-ups, you start with knee support or with the body tilted. To make dominated one starts with horizontal oars and progresses to negative dominates.

However, it is not always easy to progress and achieve our objectives by following this methodology.

The main utility of Easypull is to help you progress by adapting each exercise to your level of fitness. You can start with a weight that allows you to make the movement e decrease the weight of the help until you get the exercise alone and without help.

With Easypull there are no impossible exercises!
