Skill Training, Hypertrophy, Bad Form Training? Role of Genetics? / ft. Sthenics (Denis Piccolo)

I talked with Sthenics (Denis Piccolo) about why calisthenics progress is slow, how to train skills properly, the role of hypertrophy, bad form “progressions,” genetics and what most people get wrong :) If you want real, science-based insights — this video is for you. Timestamps: 00:00 - intro 02:54 - What are calisthenics skills? (strength, endurance, primary motor quality, powerlifting parallels) 13:25 - Accessory work for skills (hypertrophy, mechanical tension, isometrics & relation of strength and cross sectional area) 26:14 - Metabolic stress & muscle damage patched? 33:35 - Bad form training for skills? 1:05:02 - Programming for calisthenics (basic principles, priorities, consistency, volume, frequency, RPE, combining multiple skills, deloads) 1:23:25 - Recovering from training (relaxing, homeostasis, load & volume managment) 1:29:23 - Genetics (factors, importance & conclusion) Sthenics youtube:    / @sthenics_   Sthenics instagram:   / sthenics_
