At 16, I discovered calisthenics through my good friend T.
No big intentions - just trying it out and see where it goes.
I fell it love with it, built an online coaching business, and later studied Sport Exercise Science after receiving my Economics bachelors because I realise I didn’t know enough.
Started Major Calisthenics alongside coach T with a simple goal:
Help people get results without lifting boring weights.
There were plenty of hard years.
Living week to week, second guessing myself — but I kept showing up.
Today, we’ve built a system that helped hundreds, and we’re only getting started.
Still the same guy - just grateful of har far we’ve come
DM “COACH” and I’ll show you exactly how to get started.

YOUR BODY IS THE ONLY GYM THAT YOU NEED 🫶
You’ve tried the whole weightlifting thing and that didn’t work.
Useless gym memberships. Complicated equipment. Programs that promise everything and deliver nothing.
Meanwhile, your body stays the same. Your joints hurt. Your motivation dies.
Here’s what actually works:
Your body is the only tool you need to build real strength, real skill, and real freedom.
Not bulky, useless muscle. Not boring gym routines that lead nowhere.
Calisthenics builds bodies that actually PERFORM.
The proof? Look at these transformations. Real people. Real results. No gym required.
The CaliShred Method works because:
âś“ It adapts to YOUR level
âś“ Weekly progressions that actually stick
âś“ Injury-free movement patterns
✓ Skills that blow people’s minds
Master the basics → Unlock advanced moves → Transform your entire body.
Push ups become muscle ups. Planks become front levers. Squats become pistol squats.
This isn’t for everyone.
This is for people who are DONE with excuses. Done with weightlifting programs that don’t deliver. Done with settling for average.
If you’re ready to build a body that performs as good as it looks... Comment “IGNITE” and I’ll share my CaliShred method that’s helped hundreds build their dream body without lifting weights.

Most people kill their progress by constantly comparing themselves to others.
Instead of recognising how far they’ve come, they focus on someone who’s 5 years ahead.
But the real mindset shift happens when you start measuring against your old self.
Am I stronger than last week?
More disciplined than last month?
Moving better than before?
That’s the mindset that creates long-term progress.
Not motivation. Not hype.
Discipline, gratitude, and consistency.
Because comparison steals joy… but self-awareness builds confidence.

The fastest way to slow down your progress is rushing past the basics.
You might already have the strength for advanced skills like the muscle-up… but if your joints, mobility, and movement patterns aren’t built properly first, injuries become inevitable.
One of our clients, Steve, got his first muscle up.
But it came at the cost of shoulder and elbow pain that took him out for 6 months.
That’s why structure matters.
Because training should feel progressive, enjoyable, and sustainable, not like you’re constantly guessing whether you’re doing things right or wrong.
The best results come from a plan built around your body, your lifestyle, and your recovery.
Not from jumping between random videos online.

Muscle Up Grip Hack in 60 Seconds
One small grip change can completely change your muscle up.
A lot of people coming from weightlifting like doing pull-ups with their thumbs over the bar. While that can work for regular pull-ups, it becomes a problem once you start learning muscle ups.
As fatigue kicks in, you end up hanging mostly from your fingertips. That means less control during the transition and a higher chance of slipping or “chickening winging” your way over the bar, which is where injuries usually happen.
Instead, wrap your thumbs fully around the bar. Think about trying to “break the bar in half” as you grip it. This gives you a much stronger connection to the bar and allows for a cleaner, safer transition into the dip.
Small adjustment. Massive difference.

Jay is 45 years old.
And one of the biggest things he noticed from calisthenics wasn’t just how he looked…
It was how much easier his body felt during everyday life.
As an electrician, he’s constantly climbing ladders, crawling through tight spaces, kneeling, squatting, and moving all day.
Before, it used to take a toll on his body.
Now he feels lighter, stronger, and more capable doing the work his body needs to do every day.
That’s the difference with functional strength.
It’s not just about building muscle.
It’s about building a body that actually works for you.

Handstand Balance Hack in 60 Seconds
Handstand balance becomes much easier when your hand placement is correct. One of the biggest mistakes I see is people turning their hands out too much like a CrossFit-style handstand.
The problem with that position is you lose leverage and end up balancing mostly through your thumb and index finger, which makes control much harder.
Instead, point your fingers forward, especially your middle finger. This gives you more surface area to grip the floor and makes balancing far more stable.
A lot of people also spend too much time doing frog stands. While it helps with confidence, it doesn’t fully translate into a straight handstand because your body position is completely different.
The goal is simple: fingers forward, grip the ground, stack your body, and control the balance through your fingertips.
That’s when handstands start to feel effortless.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in calisthenics is chasing advanced skills before building proper foundations.
Everyone wants the muscle-up.
But very few people want to spend time fixing mobility, strengthening joints, and cleaning up their form first.
One of our clients, Alex, had the muscle-up already… but his foundations weren’t strong enough to support it.
Poor movement patterns overloaded one shoulder, led to a rotator cuff injury, and suddenly he was out for 6 months rebuilding everything again.
Progress rushed is often progress delayed.
Master the basics first.
Your body will thank you later.

Planche Shoulder Hack in 60 Seconds
I made a promise to myself to stop relying on equipment just to stay strong. That’s one of the biggest reasons I switched to calisthenics, freedom to train anywhere while building real functional strength.
A great exercise for building planche shoulder strength is the decline planche lean. Place your feet onto an elevated surface, rotate your hands out around 45 degrees so your thumbs face forward, and externally rotate your elbows.
From there, lean forward, keep your bum down, round your upper back into protraction, and look slightly forward. Your body should stay as horizontal as possible while your shoulders take the load.
This develops the shoulder strength and control needed for movements like presses and eventually the full planche.
No machines. No lateral raises. Just real strength that transfers.

The biggest mistake I made wasn’t the injury.
It was ignoring the warning signs before it happened.
Pain is your body asking for attention.
And if you ignore it long enough, eventually your body will force you to stop.
That’s when progress disappears. Training stops. Recovery takes over. And suddenly you’re rebuilding from zero again.
Trust me, starting over after an injury is one of the worst feelings.
So learn from my mistake.
Take recovery seriously. Warm up properly. Address pain early. Give your body the care it needs before it becomes a bigger problem.
Because staying consistent will always beat pushing recklessly.
