00:00:31: it's truly an honor super pleasure awesome so yeah we finally met and we

00:00:37: finally got a get a meeting here and yeah to

00:00:40: kick off how do you present yourself how do you

00:00:43: present yourself to somebody who doesn't know you

00:00:47: first of all i i hate labels in a way like even though we need to use it in

00:00:53: terms to communicate and to get along with each

00:00:55: other like what do you do so i'm a calisthenics

00:00:58: coach i guess and i'm a yoga instructor as well um

00:01:02: but i like to present myself as just a human that

00:01:05: loves movements love anything related to psychology and to

00:01:10: just human optimization and that's it i'm the founder of saturn

00:01:15: movement if that helps which is a online fitness platform that teaches you

00:01:19: calisthenics and yoga i've been doing calisthenics and yoga

00:01:23: for six years now and i'm just another soul

00:01:28: another human trying to be the best that i can

00:01:31: nice sounds really good and yeah i already feel the mindset that you have

00:01:37: some hard facts like where are you born how old are you i am 28 years old

00:01:44: i was born in caracas venezuela i moved to miami after venezuela at 17 i

00:01:52: moved to canada for one year to study english

00:01:55: then after canada i was going to go back to venezuela and study

00:01:59: but leaving the country venezuela was in a very bad place

00:02:02: i don't know at the moment it's still worse right now

00:02:06: but when i went to canada i said no like there is so much opportunity out there

00:02:10: that even if i don't come to canada because

00:02:12: it's super super cold even though i love the call at that moment

00:02:16: i said i'm going somewhere else so i went back to venezuela for a couple

00:02:20: months when i was 18 years old and then i left to miami when i was 18

00:02:25: almost 19 years old and i've been here uh

00:02:30: almost 10 years i was gonna say seven years it's been almost 10 years

00:02:34: and i'm 28 years old that's it nice and how did you get in touch with

00:02:40: uh calisthenics what what sport did you do before

00:02:43: um or like i think i guess it was through yoga but uh yeah

00:02:47: actually i cannot remember if i saw yoga before calisthenics because i remember

00:02:53: being both of them exactly the same thing at

00:02:56: the same time i remember yoga was introduced by one of

00:03:00: my ex-ex-girlfriends who was in yoga

00:03:04: and i wanted to do yoga just because of the headstand i want to get a headstand

00:03:08: then after a couple weeks i realized how powerful it was and i was suffering from

00:03:12: very very severe chronic anxiety which we can talk later

00:03:16: so yoga was like okay this might help me which it clearly did and

00:03:23: calisthenics i saw a video from you know big brandon

00:03:26: carter yes yes yeah which is not in the calisthenics field at all but

00:03:32: in his intro his youtube intro and i was super into fitness like elliot holt and

00:03:37: kim was my biggest mentor at that moment so

00:03:40: he saw a video doing him lc2 handstand and i said i have to do

00:03:44: that so i was doing weight lifting i've been doing weight differences i was

00:03:48: 15 years old and at that moment i just wanted to

00:03:51: switch things up so i saw yoga from my ex girlfriend i saw

00:03:54: calisthenics and i said okay let's try both let's begin using my own

00:03:58: body weight and i began incorporating the three of them so

00:04:01: i keep kept doing weight lifting i began doing

00:04:04: yoga on my backyard and even doing

00:04:07: calisthenics in a park interesting it's the first time that i

00:04:12: ever hear somebody else saying that he knows big brandon carter

00:04:17: because i always thought i'm the only one who watched his videos

00:04:21: because i still remember like when he recommended a lot of his favorite books

00:04:26: and he talked a lot a lot also about books and i ordered all of them and read

00:04:30: all of them because he also was a big inspiration

00:04:32: for me that's that's nice to hear yeah it's funny like i didn't i didn't

00:04:36: come to calisthenics people like what was your biggest inspiration and it's

00:04:40: it's not a calisthenics athlete it's like it was somebody from the fitness

00:04:43: industry they might be going to know other people

00:04:46: and stuff okay crazy um so yeah like what was your

00:04:51: journey how did you begin uh how how long did it take to get the

00:04:55: headstand and from there where did it lead you so

00:05:01: at that moment i i asked myself okay so should i go to a yoga studio or should i

00:05:06: make it my personal practice or should i contact a calisthenics coach

00:05:11: or should i make in my personal practice and so i googled calisthenics coach in

00:05:16: miami uh chris area was the first one that

00:05:19: took out the only one there and and then yoga i said i'm gonna make

00:05:24: this my personal journey so i i was doing i did a

00:05:28: 30 day yoga challenge on youtube on my backyard

00:05:31: every single day that's how i got cooked into yoga

00:05:34: and actually two years ago i did a 10 days of a challenge on my channel

00:05:39: because i wanted to share how i actually got into yoga

00:05:43: so we're going to do yoga alone and i'm 80

00:05:46: self-taught i probably have attended to 20 or 30 year classes

00:05:50: in total in mental life and in calisthenics i contacted chris heria

00:05:55: and i went to his first gym on doral what's called

00:06:00: a calisthenics evolution with his business partner claudio jannotti

00:06:06: i did a couple personal sessions with him then they closed the gym

00:06:10: for reasons that i quite don't remember honestly and then he opened another gym

00:06:17: calisthenics academy and i was still with him and then i

00:06:21: began working with him for him at that

00:06:26: at that gym and i had no idea that i wanted to become a coach i just

00:06:31: loved the environment everything and at that moment i told him i cannot

00:06:36: keep affording the calisthenics classes but maybe i can stay here and

00:06:40: help you out so i began teaching classes on the gym

00:06:43: then he closed that gym he opened phoenix

00:06:47: and i kept working for him at 10x and that's it i kept my yoga

00:06:54: practice very separate very personal i attended to some studios some workshops

00:06:59: but i kept it very separately and i kept doing calisthenics

00:07:02: uh thenx until that doesn't happen anymore

00:07:09: yeah and like when you um nice glass when you started

00:07:16: uh calisthenics you said uh that you had uh some

00:07:19: some uh physical issues uh what was this about

00:07:24: uh physical or mental i didn't understand you

00:07:27: uh when you said it uh anxiety uh okay ah okay so

00:07:34: and basically chronic chronic anxiety because of substance abuse in my 20s

00:07:41: i went you know ultra ultra music festival no

00:07:45: well you know the dj festivals yeah of course

00:07:48: yeah where everyone takes a bunch of drugs and stuff that was me in the first

00:07:51: row fucking pairing like crazy let's go drinking taking a bunch of

00:07:56: pills and that led me to a very wrong or not

00:08:00: wrong very a path that was not serving me at that

00:08:03: moment i hit really rock bottom like super super rock

00:08:07: bottom and then is when i began getting more

00:08:10: into this i was always a spiritual person within

00:08:13: but that was like the heat that okay i have to meditate or i needed to meditate

00:08:17: i had to do yoga i had to walk every day just to be

00:08:21: functional per se so yoga and calisthenics together

00:08:24: literally transform my mind i'm still i would consider myself an

00:08:28: anxious person but i don't see myself now as an anxiety i

00:08:32: just see it i'm just hyperactive i love to talk and

00:08:35: now i know how to catalyze that energy or how to

00:08:38: release that energy whether it is through yoga calisthenics or meditation

00:08:42: now physical limitations i had 40 plus dislocations on

00:08:46: both of my shoulders so they're very very instable and they're like

00:08:50: super super mobile as you can see and that was from the weightlifting a lot of

00:08:56: internal rotation a lot of bench pressing a lot of

00:08:59: upright rows like exercises that you shouldn't be doing that i was doing

00:09:03: and then on calisthenics i wouldn't say it heal because when i began

00:09:08: calisthenics and when i began yoga i didn't know any better i was not coach

00:09:13: in a very good way so calisthenics kind of fucked up my shoulder a little

00:09:18: bit more because freestyling like landing on the bar

00:09:22: mindlessly without external rotating and really engaging the bar

00:09:25: it was always popping out that would set me back to the gym for like a month

00:09:29: until it healed again yoga my mistake was

00:09:33: over stretching so we can get into how to avoid shoulder injury i'm like

00:09:38: pretty experiencing that um now i mean my

00:09:43: training is completely different i do not over stretch

00:09:45: yoga i focus mostly on mobility functional movement

00:09:49: calisthenics i do not freestyle i completely stop freestyling and i'm

00:09:53: focusing mostly on your overall health and the static calls

00:09:57: and concents and all that okay

00:10:01: and like what are you what are your goals right now uh what else stuff that

00:10:05: you are working on so it's really hard to set up goals to

00:10:10: be honest with saturn movement it's a membership side

00:10:14: website where i had to put content content constantly

00:10:18: and i like to do a like a good job and i do like 50 60

00:10:24: minute workout explanations like two in a

00:10:27: single day like we filmed that so it's very hard to keep my training in

00:10:32: sync with that now that was like last year i would say

00:10:34: but now like i'm starting to like juggle things out a little bit better my

00:10:39: current goals um i really want to get the mana but i

00:10:43: haven't start training for it i'm just doing a couple visits a couple

00:10:47: times a week and it's getting a little bit higher a

00:10:50: little bit higher a little bit higher and the reason i'm

00:10:52: not training for the money is because i really really want to get the plunge

00:10:56: and the front lever which has been my two nemesis and the two moves that

00:11:01: especially the front lever or lever or however it's pronounced

00:11:05: and the planche comes easier to me the front lever comes harder just

00:11:10: because i don't have that much pulling strength and also because of my

00:11:14: shoulder injury both of the movements i'll i would i would say that i haven't

00:11:18: gotten them because one consistency but second second my shoulder injury i

00:11:23: didn't know any better and i was just training yeah let's do a

00:11:27: straddle planche but i also have winging scapula we can get

00:11:30: into all those details if you want but my main goals right now

00:11:33: it's i'm releasing the basics on building

00:11:36: a stronger foundation and getting to know my body even

00:11:40: like with everything that i know now it's like then i was fucking up before

00:11:44: like so much so i'm trying to make things right from

00:11:47: the beginning but my main goals are climbs front lever

00:11:50: um those two um i'm middle split when it comes to mobility

00:11:55: i'm obviously still training handstands still training basic movements

00:11:59: but i'm really trying to narrow it down because

00:12:02: i realize that when i go too broad i don't get shit done

00:12:05: okay we've all experienced that pressure yeah that's true uh what i found quite

00:12:11: exp impressive is um like when when people

00:12:14: see you and when i see you on social media you're like

00:12:17: an athlete uh in the game for for a lot like

00:12:21: for a long time now and uh and in your last post or in your last post you you

00:12:26: took some steps back uh you did some like beginner exercise

00:12:30: let's call them and for me it was impressive to say

00:12:32: because uh usually the people that i follow and i know

00:12:35: don't share stuff like that and that's something it was scary to follow

00:12:42: and for me it's like um it's really impressive to see that because

00:12:45: um a lot of people don't do that because of like let's say

00:12:49: ego because they think our people are not interested in that

00:12:52: uh why do you share this journey even though it's not the

00:12:55: wow content so i said it was scary because i mean there are two i see it as

00:13:01: two things over there one is ego clearly it's like i don't

00:13:05: want people or people don't want others to see that you're stepping back

00:13:09: and that you cannot plant your phone like people still say how did you get

00:13:12: the plant so perfect i'm like i cannot plant at the moment

00:13:16: maybe because an old video that i i could plant

00:13:19: in the past but it's like people don't want to put themselves

00:13:23: like i cannot do this anymore or i i don't have this level that

00:13:27: people look up to me like like that so it's it's a journey and that that's

00:13:33: not hard for me because i like to present myself just as

00:13:36: i am and yes i've been in the game for a long time

00:13:39: i can do impressive stuff with my body but there are some things that i cannot

00:13:43: do and i like to share that also to make

00:13:45: people more relatable and to place the truth because sometimes

00:13:49: i don't have instagram posts because i'm not punching

00:13:52: or i'm not doing anything impressive so what i'm going to share i'm going to

00:13:55: share whatever whatever the heck i'm doing and i'm

00:13:57: doing planks i'm doing hollow bodies i'm doing

00:13:59: side planks and i'm doing planche sleeves and

00:14:03: that is the ego part but the other part that

00:14:06: is the one that concerns me the more more a little bit is the business side

00:14:10: of it which can be tricky if you share that

00:14:14: mindlessly and you're not mindfully sharing value because then i share

00:14:20: because it's gonna add value to a lot of people

00:14:23: even though people saw us from being a high elite

00:14:27: athlete most of the people that follow us are

00:14:29: beginners so they are really really gonna benefit from

00:14:32: those posts and even advanced athletes are gonna say then this guy who's

00:14:36: famous or whatever he's sharing that there is nothing wrong with going back

00:14:42: to the basics but business side i see how he can conflict a little

00:14:46: bit that just a 18 years old kid that one kid

00:14:51: or team whatever that wants to get the plunge

00:14:55: if he doesn't see planche post from me he might not buy my program he might buy

00:15:01: anybody else's program so i went through those ego and business

00:15:06: side and i said you know what fuck it like

00:15:09: like this is me i know i'm gonna get the plank very soon

00:15:12: like i already got it i i know where i'm going

00:15:15: and maybe my social media can step can have a dip

00:15:18: because i'm sharing i'm not sharing advanced movements

00:15:22: but i know i will and if i don't and it's been a i'm not gonna say it has

00:15:28: been easy because it's been a battle because sometimes you just want to say

00:15:31: i right now i have gold first elbow if i cannot do pull-ups

00:15:34: and stopping doing pull-ups it might mean that my pulling strength goes

00:15:39: lower so i cannot show pull ups which you know how it goes so it's been a

00:15:45: battle but i realized that the more honest with myself i am and the more

00:15:49: truthful i am with my audience the better they're going to

00:15:52: relate to me and once they see me and once they see

00:15:56: actually that i got an advanced movement they

00:15:58: like then it doesn't came easy to him so that's something i

00:16:04: like i like to relate with my audience more

00:16:06: than they see me as this god or coach or whatever an alien even though my name my

00:16:12: last name is saturn

00:16:16: i might be i might be an alien is it but it is your real name right

00:16:20: it is yeah it is my last name yeah okay nice um yeah and it's like um people

00:16:27: love to get on the journey of an athlete nobody

00:16:30: like of course it's impressive to see somebody doing uh

00:16:33: i don't know like a straddle planche um but

00:16:36: to uh the the athletes or the people who take

00:16:40: their community on the journey going there and show them step by step or

00:16:44: there is a failure or there was a success

00:16:47: like this is how you build a relationship with

00:16:50: with your community and that's um i think what people appreciate about your

00:16:54: content is that it's it's like it's real and uh

00:16:58: you even show the stuff that is not uh like that won't go viral because it's

00:17:02: like the craziest uh move or something but it's it's honest i

00:17:07: appreciate it brother appreciate it nice um let's jump into your day

00:17:13: uh what does your typical day look like do you have a routine for the morning

00:17:19: i do currently i'm doing a certificate for being a

00:17:23: yoga instructor because i'm just a job instructor without certificate

00:17:27: and even though i don't believe in that a paper

00:17:30: should showcase whatever you are teaching

00:17:34: and i just wanted to do it for the experience i'm doing an intensive

00:17:37: six week online yoga teacher training at the moment

00:17:40: plus the business plus getting married

00:17:44: yeah thank you and so my morning routine at the moment i wake up 5 30 6 a.m

00:17:52: i go for a walk where i listen to some yoga books that i need to read

00:17:56: and then i come back and i studied a little bit more yoga then i do my yoga

00:18:00: practice around seven to eight am then

00:18:04: at nine i head over to the studio i work out at

00:18:11: 10 to 11 am two to three hours until 12 1 p.m i haven't eaten anything at

00:18:18: this moment just coffee just water yeah i fast most days and

00:18:23: then i have a small meal like a kind of a lunch or a protein

00:18:26: shake around to three pm still that's at the studio with our

00:18:30: films and content with uh work on business related stuff we either

00:18:35: keep moving we either plan future videos with a record for

00:18:38: academy for youtube anything business related related until

00:18:43: 5 pm i head back home i cook some meal and i enjoy night with

00:18:49: my girl a woman my woman now

00:18:53: nice well i do some movement i do some movements around

00:18:57: four or five at the studio and i do have an hour of unbalancing

00:19:01: then when i come back and i'm preparing meal i might do another yoga session or

00:19:05: another hand balancing session let me throw that in there it's around

00:19:09: i counter is like around five to six hours of movement

00:19:13: throughout the day without counting them the time that i do this or that i

00:19:17: stretch okay in an interview or something

00:19:21: and movement is also taking a walk uh in the morning or something

00:19:25: yes yes that completely recharges me nice well that's a typical day obviously

00:19:32: we'll be living through very erratic times

00:19:34: chronological stuff and so that's now that we're coming back

00:19:39: to the gym but before that i was staying home all day i would move every

00:19:43: single second or i would go for a walk like three or four walks or if you

00:19:47: follow me on instagram i do like four or five lives like two lives

00:19:52: every single day sometimes and because i need that

00:19:56: i need to get out i need the sun to wipe me up

00:20:00: and the movement do you count your steps uh that you do per day

00:20:04: i've never counted my stuff i don't have any watch

00:20:07: that counts that i don't know my heart applications

00:20:11: and i don't do it for fat loss at all and i don't even walk fast it's like a

00:20:16: brief walk and i don't joke either i used to sprint

00:20:22: when i was very serious in like aesthetic physique

00:20:25: type of thing and but i just walked for mental benefit to begin

00:20:30: okay cool and your workout schedule let's uh let's go through this one per

00:20:37: week do you split your your workout days uh is yoga

00:20:41: exercise over every day the same or like let's go into depth into okay let's get

00:20:48: in depth into workouts okay so uh let's say that five months ago i

00:20:54: never locked my workouts or planned my workouts or tracked my workout i had an

00:20:58: idea yes pull push leg pull push left but i was just doing whatever i felt

00:21:03: that day recently like three months ago i said

00:21:06: you know what i'm gonna lock everything rpe which is rate of

00:21:10: perceived exertion basically from one to ten you do a set

00:21:13: and you say eight that means that you have two reps

00:21:16: left in the tank so basically you're logging your reps and you're logging how

00:21:20: hard the set was your resting time everything because i

00:21:23: wanted to see that week by week progress and it's been

00:21:27: amazing it's i mean it takes a lot of time to like write it down so i've been

00:21:30: like creating some templates on the computer

00:21:33: and stuff but anyways my current one i am experimenting with

00:21:37: one single workout which is a full body upper body focus so not too

00:21:43: much legs so pull push targeted towards the flange and front

00:21:46: lever monday i do the same on wednesday and i do the

00:21:50: same on friday now on wednesday i go a little bit higher intensity on the

00:21:56: exercises and lower rep range so let's say on monday do hands and push-ups

00:21:59: against the wall on the floor and then on wednesday i do

00:22:03: hands-on push-ups on the part that's a deeper range of motion so i might do

00:22:07: five sets of ten on monday and i may do five sets of five

00:22:11: on wednesday so more certain focus more endurance focus so

00:22:15: i'm doing that monday wednesdays and fridays because that really work that

00:22:18: schedule full body or upper body a little bit

00:22:21: less at the end if i have energy that really work a last about a year and

00:22:27: a half when i got for the first time ever my front lever

00:22:30: and my a good good straddle plunge in a shitty pool planche and so it

00:22:36: worked until i got married and i completely

00:22:40: throw my training out of the window so i'm

00:22:42: basically repeating that but obviously way more conscious way more in

00:22:46: tune with what i'm doing and trying to log everything

00:22:49: now tuesdays and thursdays i do either a hand balancing session

00:22:53: or a yoga session or just active rest depending on how i feel

00:22:58: so hard hard and the middle unbalancing and yoga it's

00:23:05: i try to for example if i'm this is not at the moment but if i'm

00:23:11: doing like a pulling session uh one day i will do it back then the

00:23:16: routine on the same day which is back extension

00:23:19: you're working the same muscles of basically pulling and if i'm doing a

00:23:23: pushing routine i would do a forward folding session on

00:23:27: yoga right now i'll just do like full body

00:23:30: mobility or i'll work on my middle splits or i'll do

00:23:33: mostly hip opening focus which is one of the things that

00:23:37: the areas of flexibility that i'm most limited in

00:23:40: and that's it any specific questions that you wanna

00:23:45: ask i'm open to say um yeah only the reason um

00:23:51: the focus on legs is not there because it doesn't it's not fun to you

00:23:55: it doesn't meet your goals honestly it's because i don't have the

00:24:01: energy to do it especially at the moment with

00:24:04: this yoga teacher training and we're doing a look like the teacher

00:24:08: that is teaching me doing a lot of legs a lot of like squats lunges and stuff so

00:24:12: i truly do not have the energy now if i were not doing yoga at all

00:24:18: i would definitely incorporate a legs either

00:24:21: on tuesdays and friday and thursdays like on those between days

00:24:25: or i'll add one leg exercise at the end of the pull pull session

00:24:30: and they'll be either reverse hyper extensions

00:24:33: natural leg extensions nordic curls and those are my three goals too

00:24:39: for calisthenics skills okay cool um the question that i like to ask

00:24:47: is do you have three advices

00:24:51: uh to someone like to the people who do calisthenics

00:24:55: um some stuff that they should do to progress faster

00:25:01: maybe it's daily habits maybe it's uh some

00:25:04: some mistakes they make in their training that they could avoid etc

00:25:09: there are so many i actually share five things i wish i knew

00:25:13: before sign calisthenics on instagram so i'm trying to remember those but

00:25:16: i won't try to remember i just want i'm just gonna say the first

00:25:19: three that comes to my mind first one is the most basic one which is

00:25:24: basics like really really master the basics and

00:25:28: some people see basics and i'm trying to explain this a little bit more to my

00:25:32: audience they see basics as pull-ups dips and

00:25:35: push-ups those are basics but doors are not truly

00:25:39: truly that basic like if you get somebody that has never done

00:25:42: calisthenics and you make them do regular push-ups

00:25:45: that's not basic for them for them it's like literally plank

00:25:49: hollow body holes uh like side planks like bird dogs

00:25:53: like very very basic exercise like teach your body

00:25:57: what protraction is before you get into hollow body push-ups

00:26:02: and teach your body what retraction is before you grab a bar and you try to do

00:26:05: a high pull-up and pull it as high as you possibly can

00:26:08: so really really understand the movements

00:26:11: and get very very good at them like i i didn't do that i was like okay i can do

00:26:15: 12 pull-ups for four sets that's enough no that's a

00:26:19: bodybuilding style type of thing if you really want to

00:26:22: get a if you want to be a beast on the front lever

00:26:26: get at least 20 pull-ups like 20 good pull-ups and

00:26:30: i'm not saying that to get a phone level you need 20 pull-ups or that you cannot

00:26:33: get a front lever if you don't have pull-ups

00:26:35: but it's i it's way smarter that you spend time on pull-ups and then you work

00:26:40: on your straight and pulling strength then you only hold your top front lever

00:26:45: for five seconds and you can only do eight pull-ups you

00:26:48: might progress but first you're gonna process it slowly

00:26:51: second your chances of getting injured are super super super high

00:26:55: you might not notice it at all but tendonitis it's

00:26:58: super clear if your lats and your rhomboids are not strong to pull

00:27:02: yourself your body is going to take it from here

00:27:04: it happened to me and then you've got gold first of all

00:27:07: and the same with chinese elbows and all type of

00:27:10: injuries anyway so that's the number one really really master the basics more

00:27:15: than you think way more than you think um

00:27:19: second one

00:27:25: know your goals for sure be really really clear on your goals

00:27:30: know where you're going after and have shorter goals so you can keep the

00:27:35: motivation going also have very long-term goals but do

00:27:39: not expect to get here super super fast so you have a plan as a

00:27:44: goal know that you need to go through the

00:27:46: steps do your research so it's a bunch of tips in one

00:27:49: so be clear on your goals and see other people that has gotten there

00:27:54: ask for their advice and obviously experiment with yourself

00:27:57: and get to a conclusion you're gonna get to many conclusions as you go and your

00:28:02: goals might change but stick to one goal and

00:28:05: stick to one method that's another tip i'll jump to that

00:28:08: later uh be clear on your goals and just follow through it and focus on the

00:28:14: basics if your goal is to plunge and you're gonna do a plank with a whole

00:28:19: position for 30 seconds because your wrists are

00:28:22: hurting do not going to clench lean yet spend

00:28:26: time on plank spend time warming up your wrists get

00:28:29: conditioned on your wrists and on the joints before you get into

00:28:32: those so to to fall be clear on your goals and be patient with those goals

00:28:38: third one and there are two a school of thoughts

00:28:43: we have the people that do a different workout every single day

00:28:48: every single day what should i do okay today's shoulder so i'm gonna do a

00:28:51: shoulder prayer and every single workout is a different

00:28:54: workout like they just like to different workouts

00:28:56: nothing wrong with that but i'm just gonna explain why and then you have the

00:29:00: other people who select one workout they do that

00:29:02: workout for their entire life they don't change anything they don't do

00:29:06: anything and they okay you might be increasing your reps but

00:29:10: your body is smarter than that you can increase rep which is healing

00:29:13: your progression to a certain point but then you're gonna have to do

00:29:17: something you're gonna have to either include a full body workout here and

00:29:19: there you might have to do a heavy light weight you might have to do

00:29:23: a deal a program deal a week so we have the people that are monkey

00:29:28: workouts and we have the people that do the same thing over and over

00:29:33: forever i like to advise people to be in the middle which

00:29:38: is intermediate and intermittent

00:29:44: constant intermittent constant basically so

00:29:47: you do something constantly for a period of time

00:29:51: and then you should you switch it up but you take notes you observe

00:29:55: but you don't change things that often like constant variety

00:29:59: will lead you to just getting good at constant variety if you it depends

00:30:04: obviously on your goals if you're just training

00:30:07: just solely for the sake of having fun by any means go ahead and do

00:30:11: whatever you like on every single workout but if your goal is to get from

00:30:14: five pull-ups to 25 pull-ups and you're just doing random

00:30:18: workouts and random pulling grip strength and stuff

00:30:21: you it's gonna take you longer to get there i'm not saying you won't get there

00:30:24: because i i was there doing different workouts every single

00:30:28: day but i got to a place that i wanted i didn't want to

00:30:32: be i wanted the client on the front lever and

00:30:34: obviously you don't get the plantain from level doing random workouts

00:30:38: i mean you don't unless you are also all the lugonis who knows

00:30:44: so those are my three advice okay clear one

00:30:49: so let's basically 20 in one but 20 and three

00:30:52: but uh yeah that's uh i i tend to do that

00:30:56: i'd say like uh my youtube videos is like top five exercises for

00:31:01: the calisthenics skills and i literally give you like

00:31:04: 30 exercises because of the variations and the modifications i

00:31:08: do believe we are all different and and in saturday moving i

00:31:11: really really emphasize that that we are all completely different so if you see

00:31:14: my programs you will never see pull-ups 10 reps you

00:31:19: will see pull-ups 8 to 15 then you have a decrease

00:31:22: intensity you have an increase intensity you have modifications if you don't have

00:31:25: a pull-up bar you have modifications if you have elbow pain

00:31:27: like i really pay attention to that because we are completely different

00:31:31: and we need to take that into consideration

00:31:34: that's interesting because most of the workout plans out there

00:31:37: are like uh pull-ups 10 to 12 reps just like not even that 12

00:31:42: reps and that's it yeah do that exactly and and they work

00:31:46: because if most people they don't get to 12 they

00:31:50: they're gonna repeat the workout and they might eventually get to twelve

00:31:54: but i like to teach if you have eight to twelve and you can only do six

00:31:58: you you can either complete with negative you can either complete with

00:32:02: bands you can either rest pause you can either

00:32:05: jump into australian pull-ups like there's so many methods

00:32:08: that i i don't only want to get people from point a to point b but i wanna

00:32:14: teach them how they got from point a to point b so

00:32:18: why are you using negatives instead of bands in this

00:32:21: specific cycle and why would you use the negative with a deeper range of

00:32:26: motion in this specific cycle i like to teach

00:32:29: that which is it's confusing it's confusing to teach

00:32:33: and to put everything to a single program and for everyone but

00:32:37: that's i would say that's my mission when it

00:32:39: comes to calisthenics okay but your focus is really on

00:32:44: on the the workout side do you also give advice for

00:32:47: nutrition the nutrition section so the estimate of the saturated academy

00:32:55: is it has yoga calisthenics and balancing a bunch of stuff

00:32:58: before launching i said that i was going to be a nutrition section in there

00:33:02: i still haven't opened the nutrition section er

00:33:05: for one big reason is a huge topic to be honest uh that i still don't know

00:33:12: how to how do i want to present it well if i

00:33:15: want to go over the basics that's why yesterday on my instagram i

00:33:19: asked ask me anything about nutrition and i'm gonna start with a youtube video

00:33:23: because i don't even have one single youtube video on nutrition

00:33:26: and ego aside i know a shit ton about nutrition that i can't

00:33:31: share but it's a huge topic that i'm like okay some are vegan some more

00:33:36: keto somewhere here how do i package it in a

00:33:39: way that this is a template you can modify it to

00:33:43: your level this is what works for me like i'm still

00:33:46: figuring out how to put it so no we don't have nutrition

00:33:49: yet but we have a community and they post their their meals and stuff and we

00:33:53: comment to each other okay and how does your nutrition look

00:33:58: like my nutrition i fast most days um

00:34:03: until 2 or 3 p.m which is my first meal so i have

00:34:06: a small meal 2 or 3 p.m then i have either a snack

00:34:09: around 5 6 pm and then i get my biggest meal around 7 to 8 p.m

00:34:14: that's most days other days very rare i have breakfast i have breakfast lunch

00:34:20: snack and dinner and other days i do all math or one meal

00:34:25: a day so i don't eat throughout the entire day

00:34:29: basically 24 hour fast and i have a big meal at night

00:34:32: when it comes to carbs proteins and fats and

00:34:35: mostly high fats so i did keto i don't feel familiar with keto

00:34:39: yeah oh let's do that let's explain like let's explain it shortly for the people

00:34:44: yeah so keto is a type of diet where you cut carbs

00:34:48: out of the part of your diet it's it's set for vegetables so it starts your

00:34:53: carbs like rice potatoes pasta you cut that out

00:34:58: and your body is going to go through a transitional period where it's going to

00:35:02: be like fuck because you've been eating carbs

00:35:04: for so long is your energy fuel and now you don't have that energy fuel

00:35:08: and but then your body begins to adapt and begins to use

00:35:11: fat as a source of energy and it begins producing keto ketones

00:35:16: that's the name ketosis in your brain which is a different type of food a fuel

00:35:21: and you get hunger less uh your mood is more stable your energy

00:35:27: is much more stable it has some amazing especially mental

00:35:31: benefits it really helped me a lot with anxiety it

00:35:35: cures epilepsy there are some studies in there

00:35:37: like it's an immense amazing diet for mental benefits

00:35:40: so he did it for one year but it has a downside which

00:35:44: is uh for a anaerobic exercise or like high intensity exercise

00:35:50: we do need not carbs but we do need glucose

00:35:54: so your body can produce glucose on its own without

00:35:58: having carbs but there is a limit that your body produces

00:36:02: and if you want to get 10 pull ups 20 muscle ups and then

00:36:06: 30 straight bar dips and then come back into a front lever you need

00:36:10: some type of glucose so i did it for one year i

00:36:13: thought adapted my i was feeling amazing i could run forever like your endurance

00:36:19: goes up but my strength plateau completely so

00:36:22: then is when i began incorporating a carbs on certain days and that's what

00:36:28: i do today so i do mostly keto on most days and i would say i do

00:36:33: twice a week i eat carbs a little bit of carbs

00:36:37: which my refeed my might seem like half the carbs of what

00:36:41: the regular person eats on a daily basis so i like my first meal a little bit of

00:36:47: rice second meal a little bit of sweet potato

00:36:50: that's enough carbs for me for two to three days of workouts well

00:36:56: and i don't like how i feel when i carbs like mentally that much

00:36:59: but it gives me that energy to work out so it's that balance between one another

00:37:03: i think i'm gonna do keto when i'm older like super old uh that i

00:37:08: just wanna tightly cycling and do handstands

00:37:11: because for hansen it's good it's endurance base

00:37:13: it you can i did it perfectly but to do pull-ups way to pull up where

00:37:18: it beeps you need some sort of carbs at least in my personal opinion i've

00:37:23: known some athletes that do weight training they're huge and

00:37:26: and they do keto and they kill advocates but i mean i don't know i'm ecstatic or

00:37:31: if they're thinking something or not

00:37:35: okay and uh what is your like uh do you eat

00:37:39: dairy products do you eat vegan vegetarian

00:37:42: uh okay so i'm not vegan or vegetarian yet i i would like to try it and

00:37:50: and i'm not vegan not because i love meat

00:37:53: but just because i it hasn't occurred me to try it and also because vegan is

00:37:59: if you want to do vegan it should be or a a fun vegan diet will

00:38:05: incorporate carbs you can do vegan and keto but that will suck so much because

00:38:11: the dependent like the good thing about keto is that you have like

00:38:14: bacon you have meat i eat very good meat that high quality meat and like once a

00:38:20: week you have fish you have eggs so that is a fun part of

00:38:25: keto if i take that away and i just eat oils and salad i would go crazy

00:38:30: so that is one of the main reasons i don't do vegan is because of the carb

00:38:34: thing but i also know that i also run well in carbs so i might try it once

00:38:41: but deviating a lot i'm not vegan or vegetarian so

00:38:45: mostly ketogenic food meat once a week mostly fish for my

00:38:51: protein sources lots of vegetables so my plate would be

00:38:54: a source of protein a lot of vegetables and healthy fats

00:38:58: like avocado olive oil mct oil it's a different type

00:39:03: of oil coconut oil and that's it mostly fish

00:39:08: dairy let me know coming up dairy that's my weak spot

00:39:12: like i love cheese it's like it's so hard to give up like if i have to

00:39:18: if i have cheese on my house two things will happen one

00:39:22: i'm gonna eat it all second if you see a youtube video

00:39:26: two days after that i won't have a six-pack

00:39:30: really yeah is that bad i'm the person who cannot eat that

00:39:35: little bit of cheese nuts is another one that is super

00:39:38: healthy to have a handful like if you go to our ancestors nuts is

00:39:43: that you pick it up on a tree you open it it's one knot

00:39:46: now we have those big jars especially here in the usa

00:39:49: and you're sitting down watching netflix let's go

00:39:52: that's like the the pack is like 10 000 calories something like that

00:39:57: so those are like my guilty pleasures i would say

00:40:00: um but i do my best to stay away from dairy and meat like once a week and it

00:40:07: has to be grass-fed organic grass finish and all that well

00:40:12: okay interesting because like you see or i see a lot of people who are like um

00:40:18: really living a conscious life and you're thinking about this stuff like uh

00:40:24: it comes with yoga it comes with even calisthenics uh nowadays so yeah i

00:40:28: was just interested in and your opinion on that uh like on the

00:40:33: on the on the uh physical side but also on your

00:40:36: um yeah on your mental side so yeah that's interesting

00:40:41: so in the spiritual side so it's sort of interrupt you would be if i

00:40:44: go vegan it would be only because of that

00:40:48: because i feel amazing eating meat and eating fish

00:40:51: i might feel better i don't know i haven't tried so i don't know but if i

00:40:54: choose to go vegan or try vegan which i might at least try

00:40:58: so i can also teach it and it will be for the moral reasons

00:41:03: because i do believe that we need to take care of the planet

00:41:05: and so forth so even though grass-fed meat

00:41:09: they treat good the cows and it's a small farm and everything i think

00:41:15: we are going to survive better as a species if we eat plants

00:41:20: no that's some more geological stuff okay nice

00:41:27: so um we asked the instagram community some questions and

00:41:34: we received some of them i picked out the the best ones

00:41:38: and uh we can just dive in with the first one

00:41:41: from uh kalis um khalis b bg or b9 uh why did you leave thenx

00:41:51: you know nobody has ever asked me that before really

00:41:58: so i said it in a couple interviews and i'll say here again that i don't like to

00:42:02: talk about that topic because people like love drama

00:42:06: and that can bring complications both for the thenx brand and both for saturn

00:42:11: movement brand and i didn't leave thenx so it was not

00:42:14: my choice they decided me for me not to be there

00:42:17: any longer and and that's it i just like to keep it

00:42:21: up there i don't have hate at all i mean i don't

00:42:25: have hate about anybody in this world but i don't have hate towards anybody in

00:42:30: the fx crew and and we are just in separate

00:42:34: lanes so let's just keep that on okay

00:42:38: good um i am jero is asking what is your best memory in

00:42:44: life until now best memory yes a psychedelic trip

00:42:52: really 100 yeah like i don't know if you have tried ever

00:42:57: psychological or not no you look like a very like guy right

00:43:02: but yeah everybody anybody that has i mean you can put it in the comment

00:43:06: section anybody that has taken psychedelics

00:43:09: either magic mushrooms or lsd and have had

00:43:12: a positive experience because you could have a horrible experience

00:43:17: it'll still be a memory but maybe not the best

00:43:20: but anybody that has experimented with them

00:43:24: in a safe manner and the intention for me is super important like i do it for

00:43:28: spiritual reasons but i've done it for spiritual reasons

00:43:31: um it's a beautiful experience it's just i

00:43:34: mean you're kind of you are one with the entire universe and even

00:43:38: though i've got into that estate meditating alone it's a very similar

00:43:43: experience uh you cannot compare

00:43:47: apples to i mean even though it's supposed to apples but this one

00:43:50: this apple is like a magic so yeah you feel connected with entire

00:43:55: world there is no hate within you you are completely present

00:43:59: the lights around you obviously hallucinations are part of it

00:44:03: but it's mostly a feeling of peace and if i want to throw that in there i'm

00:44:08: not recommending anybody here to take psychedelics

00:44:13: but it truly helped me a lot with my anxiety it truly made me see my life

00:44:17: in a different way it made me saw my anxiety from a different perspective

00:44:22: what was causing it and and also i was after a bad trip for

00:44:26: a whole very scary trip you realize that social

00:44:31: anxiety or just anxiety in general is nothing because you i literally felt

00:44:35: like i died like it's called ego death like you you

00:44:39: forget your name you forget your where you are your surroundings

00:44:43: disappear you're just entering to this loop that you die

00:44:47: and when once you accept you're deaf it's like there is nothing else that can

00:44:52: scare you i'm still get scared a lot of stuff but it was definitely a

00:44:56: transformative experience so not saying that you should

00:45:00: go especially if you are under 18 or under 21

00:45:03: please don't please do your research but if you're going to drink alcohol or

00:45:09: say psychedelics i would i'll take psychedelics

00:45:17: at least you're not fucking up your kidney

00:45:22: i didn't expect that to come back in this interview but actually yeah you can

00:45:25: put that in the title

00:45:28: me neither i didn't expect this one i i expected some some nice

00:45:32: stuff from your childhood or something but um

00:45:37: you never know yeah you never know yeah but thanks for sharing so um yeah

00:45:43: everybody can make his own thoughts on this we'll see

00:45:48: um carissi sw is asking um can you do the mana um

00:45:55: let's let's uh reformulate this question do you have a like a date where you

00:46:00: think you will be able to do it um yeah let's 100

00:46:06: and it's funny because people ask me like do you have the mana he's like if i

00:46:09: had the mana um

00:46:15: like i mean i would but you'll see somewhere in my feet you would see a

00:46:18: mana the same with the flange and no so i

00:46:22: cannot mana i definitely i knew that i would

00:46:26: train for it and that would include two to three sessions dedicated to the

00:46:30: manner which if i throw that with the plankton front lever forget it

00:46:34: but when i do i know that in six months to the very max i would get

00:46:41: the mana so definitely happening definitely

00:46:44: before i turn 30 so definitely before two years

00:46:48: let me get the planche the front lever and then i'll jump into the money but

00:46:51: i'll get it for sure it comes easy to me it's one of those

00:46:54: like planting from level i'm really struggling to get there

00:46:57: the visit i didn't really train directly to the visit i just did a lot of

00:47:01: hamstring flexibility a lot of compression strength

00:47:04: a lot of outfits and a lot of visit attempts and it happened

00:47:08: it happened okay cool yeah well for many people it's the plans like it just

00:47:12: happened i'm like how because i need to do a lot of plunge

00:47:16: sleep and a lot of top planches in order to

00:47:19: get there

00:47:22: once again that's true that's uh what makes life interesting that everybody's

00:47:26: different and everybody has different strengths and weaknesses and so

00:47:29: yeah correct absolutely nice um e gucci is asking

00:47:36: best way to planche and front lever

00:47:40: best best way yes i'm gonna throw a tip planche

00:47:48: really focus on your scapula and your serratus like you need to have a strong

00:47:52: protraction and strong depression like you need to be

00:47:55: locked in place so a lot of elbow planks a lot of plenty a lot of clients

00:47:59: really get that position do not confuse a spinal flexion with protraction so

00:48:06: have you seen those planches are like that

00:48:08: yeah that is your flexing from your spine that's a

00:48:12: compensation of lack of a scapular strength a plan

00:48:15: should be right here so you should be straight your shoulders are forward

00:48:19: but you are not facing so the best way to planche

00:48:22: neutral spine shoulders protracted shoulders depressed

00:48:26: hips open at 180 degrees so full hip extension

00:48:29: any posterior pelvic tilt for however the same exact thing as everything i

00:48:34: mentioned especially in the lower body uh your scapula retracted

00:48:39: and depressed so retracted you aim for retraction

00:48:44: but obviously gravity is going to do its work and you might end up in neutral so

00:48:48: instead of retracting protractor on neutral always depress

00:48:51: but just look for the movement that you feel your lats the most

00:48:55: and the best advice for front lever is eat pull-ups and eat

00:49:02: dragon flaps that's how i got my front lever

00:49:05: while a while back i was doing 30 pull-ups

00:49:08: right now i probably can do 12 because of my golfer's elbow

00:49:12: so become a beast on pull-ups and become a beast in dragon dragonflies and the

00:49:15: front lever is yours okay maybe they need to do a

00:49:19: couple negatives and stuff yeah but sounds like a plan okay

00:49:25: um karipov is asking what's your maximum l-sit hold

00:49:32: it um yeah i i did a pose actually but it was it was it wasn't a youtube

00:49:38: video it was a cut from a youtube video that i did

00:49:40: for my challenge i held it for 35 seconds

00:49:45: however i'm pretty confident that i can get to a minute no problem

00:49:49: with our problem okay now there are two different type of l-sits or well there

00:49:53: are many type of l-sits but the l-sit that i do is with a

00:49:56: protractor scapula right here because i got a lot of flexibility so

00:50:00: it's way easier to do if you count the lcd which is right here

00:50:06: 10 seconds 15 seconds which is without retracted scapula and like

00:50:10: you're a little in l shape so i don't know if you know the difference between

00:50:13: those two but once requires more strength and

00:50:15: where one requires more flexibility okay and the strength you're working on

00:50:21: currently or is it uh like is it not a goal or

00:50:26: yeah which one the the the one with the strength the strength uh l-sit

00:50:33: and i don't include it i i mean i would include it

00:50:36: whenever i'm i begin training for the mana because

00:50:39: i know that i can hold the visit for i think my max was 27 seconds on

00:50:47: 180 before dropping to be 480 yeah and i can and i cannot hold that lt for

00:50:54: for that long because the the v6 is more of a compression i get some

00:50:59: help with the balance it's not so much core and scapula strength

00:51:03: but i would incorporate that lcd hole definitely

00:51:07: on if i would training for the mana currently it's not one of my main goals

00:51:10: so i just do a couple visits here and there

00:51:12: okay cool um and i think the last question from the

00:51:18: community from year year russia uh what is your

00:51:22: favorite skill

00:51:27: plunge plunge okay planche therefore definitely

00:51:31: definitely definitely i i i don't wanna i don't wanna say it yet because it's

00:51:35: been taking me so long but i'm going to become a plant beast but that's at least

00:51:39: on my mind we'll see what happens and then we will play this interview in a

00:51:42: couple years but that's that that that's skill that i

00:51:46: have to die i cannot die without having and that's

00:51:50: something that eric ortiz said in in an interview like

00:51:53: and i cannot die without planting before when i listen to that i'm like that's

00:51:58: that resonates so much i will not die until i planche before

00:52:02: because and i say it's my favorite first of all because i just love the shape and

00:52:05: i love everything about it but it's because

00:52:08: i've been struggling so much i've gotten injured so much doing it

00:52:12: wrong uh i've learned so much about my body and

00:52:16: about like it unlocks so many things and that

00:52:20: i just i got a pledge

00:52:25: i will pledge keep it under keep it on the record today

00:52:30: by september 6th

00:52:34: nice i love the commitment that's good um yes so we are coming to an end

00:52:41: i still have some some quick questions quick answers uh hopefully quickly

00:52:45: hopefully yeah i know no that's good i knew that was gonna happen you

00:52:50: probably have like this amount of questions

00:52:52: like oh like these are my questions and we're like right here

00:52:57: we can do part two we can do yes are you a dog or a cat person

00:53:05: a cat cat because of the spiritual uh yes exactly because of that okay because

00:53:12: i also love foreign and i could talk a lot about that but now let's go

00:53:16: yeah just for the people who don't know like the cat is a really spiritual

00:53:20: uh animal and uh wow that's why they say it's like it's like a spiritual being or

00:53:25: something yeah it's like i mean like it's like the most enlightened uh animal

00:53:30: supposedly okay nice

00:53:34: um do you prefer pizza or burger

00:53:39: both okay that guy i mean i can't pizza pizza

00:53:46: okay um do you have a favorite location for holidays

00:53:52: anything that has a mountain a mountain okay mountain a mountain person

00:53:57: well i love the beach too yeah as you can see i'm pretty between everything

00:54:02: but i i love i love the mountain best yeah okay

00:54:06: pizza and burger dogs and cats yeah everything okay so so california where

00:54:11: you have the mountain on the beach okay i'll be my my best place nice

00:54:16: um what would you work as what would change in your life

00:54:19: if social media just disappeared what would change in my life is social

00:54:25: media disappear everything everything not

00:54:30: not too much hey i would say like i'm still being me and i will still

00:54:34: find a way to share my knowledge but yeah you you

00:54:38: we we all would have to really mention a the way that we express

00:54:44: ourselves and how we reach other people so it'll

00:54:47: change for sure but i'm a very adaptable person and

00:54:52: enough planted that idea in my mind like what happened if instagram disappears

00:54:56: tomorrow which in my humble opinion it will

00:54:58: happen at some point maybe not in 2020 but maybe not 2021

00:55:04: but things are going to change we are living through a very sh

00:55:08: entire global shift and social media is a huge part of it

00:55:12: and huge corporations that control everybody here so i'm open to the

00:55:19: possibility that it changes and i'm open to the opportunity that the entire world

00:55:23: changes because we should we are not uh we're doing something wrong as humans

00:55:28: yeah we can get into that we can get into that later but it's true

00:55:32: like uh like a few years not a few

00:55:36: years but a few weeks or months ago um another big social media

00:55:40: platform just disappeared in the us um so with with tickets now yeah click to

00:55:46: rv disappears already but i heard that he's going to get banged

00:55:50: yeah yes so i don't know if that happened already i

00:55:53: don't think so because i heard rumors that people still using it

00:55:56: but most likely it's going to happen okay because i thought

00:56:00: it's already gone in the u.s but uh yeah yeah

00:56:04: i don't know so my advice for other people because that's that can be a

00:56:07: scary thought when you have everything especially when

00:56:11: you have everything on one platform yeah like i have instagram and i have

00:56:15: youtube and i have facebook but facebook is from instagram so if they close

00:56:18: instagram and fuck with facebook uh so if they close imagine you only

00:56:22: have instagram and you have a million followers and

00:56:24: they close it that can be a scary feeling because you're monetizing from

00:56:28: it you're making money from you you're feeding your family from it so it can be

00:56:32: a scary thought so i would recommend people use your

00:56:36: page to really connect with humans in a different light

00:56:40: do not put aside doing a workshop do not put aside

00:56:44: getting in touch with humans but right now it's pretty hard with copied

00:56:48: er but do not put all your eggs in one

00:56:51: basket because it can go to waste that's true i like the saying

00:56:55: that you you build a house on somebody else's

00:56:58: ground you know with uh social media so you're building a big

00:57:02: account which is the house but you're you don't

00:57:06: own the ground so if they change or they shut down the

00:57:09: uh the platform your your gun they even decide how many views and

00:57:14: likes you get i like to compose a post i can post a

00:57:18: post today and i see the difference like in going

00:57:21: up and i post it at the same time or something or it's a good post and i'm

00:57:24: like instagram is shadowing this one or

00:57:27: instagram is putting this one on the explore page and it's going fucking

00:57:29: viral to everywhere and so they decide that so and also

00:57:34: do not put your that's the point number one do not put your happiness

00:57:38: on social media because you are going to be unhappy

00:57:41: as fuck like 100 like our brain doesn't understand you

00:57:46: got 1 000 likes your brain understand

00:57:49: yesterday i got 1 000 and today i got it's not that you get

00:57:54: your body won't remember the 800 remember the difference of 200 that you

00:57:58: had before and you will feel sad so always

00:58:01: distancing yourself and knowing that you are not that piece of equipment

00:58:06: or piece of platform that it is it's uh something to keep in mind

00:58:11: true that's true um

00:58:16: do you have a favorite calisthenics athlete

00:58:19: do you have a hero or somebody or an idol or like

00:58:22: that's big big words but do you have a favorite athlete

00:58:27: favorite athlete everybody asks me that then

00:58:30: i just admire like different things from everybody

00:58:34: um i would just say that i want to do a planche that goes well

00:58:39: lugonites for sure okay at least that easy so yeah i admired him

00:58:44: a lot and i met him we were friends uh he's an amazing

00:58:49: person and just seeing him do plunge call right

00:58:53: away for 30 seconds and jump in like crazy as like dude like

00:58:56: i admire you you are you are a fucking beast

00:59:00: okay i would say him in the calisthenics world

00:59:03: and of course our friend big brandon carter

00:59:06: and of course him yeah nice um do you have a favorite book that

00:59:12: you would recommend um let me go back to

00:59:23: my first the first books i read a mastery

00:59:26: i forgot who was a rhythm for but just mastery

00:59:30: is black with yellow or something i would highly recommend that book

00:59:33: and the motivational manifesto by brendon bukhart

00:59:38: okay yeah for the people interested in that we will put the

00:59:42: i i will look it up and put it in the description

00:59:46: thank you so people can check uh the books of uh

00:59:50: so yeah the first book that i read that was the first one that

00:59:54: okay i need to read there is a magic there is magic in reading

01:00:00: uh do you have a favorite uh no what was the best calisthenics event you've ever

01:00:04: been at

01:00:08: i'm bad for names so i don't remember the event

01:00:11: per se and

01:00:21: i don't remember to be honest

01:00:24: maybe at the beach like the muscle like muscle bitch

01:00:28: okay yeah just because it's a bitch and and it's fun i haven't gone into those

01:00:35: well i went to battle the bars of our school on

01:00:38: california on the field expo but to do i really want to go to those um big

01:00:44: ones on russia and like those big cities like i haven't

01:00:48: gotten there okay i would like to see i would like to

01:00:51: see those beasts performing which by the way back to the

01:00:55: my inspirations uh la rosa is a total beast if i would

01:01:00: have to see a role model when it comes to

01:01:02: performance and also physique would be him okay okay so

01:01:08: nice yeah i tend to forget

01:01:13: it good um

01:01:18: then the last question maybe the hardest one of the whole

01:01:21: the whole interview be prepared if you have to decide

01:01:26: what would you choose calisthenics or yoga

01:01:31: i knew do you cry

01:01:42: i'm not remember i'm actually a very emotional person so i do cry a lot but

01:01:46: i'm crying i might cry when i say the answer

01:01:49: because the other one is

01:01:55: yeah that's a tough question because when i practice yoga i'm also referring

01:02:01: a lot back to calisthenics and i i tied to calisthenics when i train

01:02:05: calisthenics i'm very i'm being very mindful of my breathing

01:02:08: and i am applying a yogic mindset what if i had to choose

01:02:17: dude that's an impossible question that's you you just put me at homework

01:02:23: to do i'm just gonna say one but useful put me

01:02:26: at homework to do uh i would say

01:02:33: i would say yoga i would give up yoga i would stay with calisthenics

01:02:39: why because if i stay with yoga which i mean

01:02:45: if i had to choose one of the feelings and one of the like what i would teach

01:02:49: for the rest of my life i probably would choose yoga but since i

01:02:52: don't have a pull-up bar and i wouldn't balance my body i don't i

01:02:55: need to hang i need to do pull-ups i need to do like some

01:02:58: sort of rowing which i cannot do i'm pointing there because i have the map

01:03:02: over there

01:03:06: so if i choose calisthenics then i can stretch

01:03:10: which i do at the end of my workout i can

01:03:13: throw a spirituality while i'm hanging in the pool bar close your eyes and

01:03:16: connect to your higher self and your all your chakras are aligned

01:03:20: and stuff but if i choose yoga then i cannot do

01:03:22: that so because of that reason i i'll choose calisthenics but i'll

01:03:27: definitely will keep doing both for the rest of my life yeah of course like for

01:03:30: you i already felt it for you they are

01:03:32: really connected i thought that you were longer in yoga

01:03:35: i thought that you started your journey with yoga i don't know why

01:03:38: but for me it felt like this but um yeah if you began both in a single

01:03:43: and like both together and i think that's what makes you as a person

01:03:47: this uh this combination uh this is the you take the benefits of both um and

01:03:52: yeah i really i really like it yes

01:04:08: you just get a conclusion about it okay nice

01:04:12: so yeah we're coming to an end and um yeah for the people who want to get

01:04:17: in touch with you who want to learn from you

01:04:19: um how can they best reach you and how can they best learn

01:04:23: from you how what should they know about about saturn

01:04:26: movement if you want to reach me privately

01:05:00: gabo saturn both of them and you'll find me anywhere

01:05:04: nice and yeah to make some like to to

01:05:08: present um the the saturn movement um for who is it like who should contact

01:05:14: you who should uh get your plans um for for who is it

01:05:19: anybody that truly wants to get into the very details

01:05:25: of their training without having to do the thinking of course

01:05:28: and want a complete full experience whether that is yoga unbalancing

01:05:33: or calisthenics or a person that wants to combine the three

01:05:37: because we have those three programs i'm currently working on the hybrid

01:05:42: called the ultimate hybrid system which i give you a calendar into how to

01:05:46: properly combine yoga with calisthenics with unbalancing

01:05:49: which is what i did so if you really want to incorporate those three into

01:05:53: your life definitely go for that now if you only

01:05:55: want to do yoga only calisthenics are only hand balancing

01:05:58: but you really want to get a detailed explanation for example hand balancing

01:06:03: i'm not i cannot tell everybody to open their

01:06:06: shoulders if your shoulders are open or you're weak and i cannot tell anybody

01:06:10: everybody to do push-ups uh when you need to work on your shoulder mobility

01:06:15: so i give you those options to work with your own limitations

01:06:18: and to get especially to your to your specific goals

01:06:22: with your own specific lactose if you only have one hour to train a day

01:06:25: i'll give you modifications for that if you have two hours then you have a

01:06:29: full routine if you want to become an elite calisthenics athlete

01:06:32: then you have the three-hour workout for you so somebody that like customizations

01:06:37: and like to adapt their things to their own level

01:06:40: nice sounds really scientific and like yes

01:06:43: really um yeah like that you can

01:06:47: people can profit from your experience um and i think uh

01:06:51: yeah that's really we will put all the links in the description for the people

01:06:55: who are interested and yeah i appreciate your time
