Calisthenics Kingz have taken the internet world by storm. In this FIRST episode of the Adrenaline TV, I interview the founder Hit Richards on how to build muscle using calisthenics, the proper nutrition to build mass and and his perspective on the future of the sport of body weight calisthenics.

Links Mentioned In The Interview:

Calisthenics Kingz Workout Program (aff link)- This is a 9 downloadable video set for $80. Hit teaches you the exact workouts to do to develop a body like his along with a proper nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle.

Calisthenics Kingz Facebook Page – If your looking for a body weight calisthenic community, look no further. Hit has established a group of tens of thousands of followers that are huge fans of calisthenics.

Calisthenics Kingz YouTube Channel – I’ve included some more videos below of Hit working out and you can click on this link to subscribe to his channel.

Calisthenics Kingz Twitter – And yes, of course you can follow Hit on Twitter. Here’s the link.

Weightvest.com – As Hit mentions in the interview, having a good weight vest is important to push your calisthenics to the next level. Although a weight vest is not essential for developing a strong, ripped body… it will help you develop faster because you are stressing the muscles to a greater degree. I have a vest from Weightvest.com and it fits like a glove and increases the intensity of my workouts 10 fold.

    Hi. I’m twenty four years old and I from Poland. I started calisthenics when I was twenty two. I think a little bit too late, because I wasted huge occasion to make myself bigger. It’s funny, because when I was 19, I had wider shoulders and slightly bigger chest, but less kilograms. Then I had 3 years without exercises and running. And now I am really skinny person (my height is 187 cm, so almost 6’2” and my weight is only 73 kilograms/about 163 pounds). I have serious problem with gaining weight. It really decreases my self-confidence. I’m definitely ectomorph. I have some questions. Do calisthenic exercises like wide pull ups make my shoulders and body wider again? Can these exercises help ectomorph get muscle mass?

    By the way I like this site. Really good work. It’s good to see people, who can propagate calisthenics and street workout by their own example.

    And sorry for my english.
