How to start with calisthenics and how to build up joints and wrists?
Hi guys, so I finally made the switch from the gym to calisthenics after years of lifting weights that honestly just stopped being fun. I can do 8-10 solid pull-ups and around 10-13 clean dips, so I'm not starting from zero.
Today I decided I'm going to learn the L-sit, frogstand, and handstand and get all three down before end of summer. Hyped myself up, went to train... and got absolutely humbled lol. Couldn't hold a frogstand for even a single second. Tried wall walks and genuinely thought I was going to die. Turns out my wrists are incredibly weak and stiff, and my core/lower back is way weaker than I thought.
So my question is -> how do I fix this? How do I actually build solid wrist strength and a stable core?
My current training split is: Monday upper body in the gym with weights, Tuesday lower body in the gym with weights, then Thursday and Saturday dedicated to calisthenics.
The problem is I feel like training wrists and core only twice a week isn't going to cut it -> progress is going to be painfully slow. Should I just do like 30 minutes of wrist work every day regardless of what the main session is? Something like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OWbZ9Oxz0E and then add planks and hollow body holds on top?
I know I need to build these foundations that years of gym training never gave me. Any advice appreciated!
