    Hello Everyone!

    Is any body in Galway interested in starting Calisthenics??

    Iv been training using Freeletics the past 6 months. Freeletics is an app on your phone that gives you different sets of burpees,push ups, pull ups, squats and sit ups. Im starting to get fed up with it now so I want to start something new!

    I have been watching Bar Brothers videos on you tube and it looks really cool. Its very hard training but the results are amazing!! The routines start with different forms of push ups, pull ups, planks etc and go on to more difficult muscle ups and toe touch pull ups.

    Id be willing to train with anyone, beginner or advanced!

    If anyone is interested please let me know and ill send you my routine.

    Cheers!

    Im mostly training at home, but I sometimes go to westside park on the bars there. What kind of level are you? As I said Im only starting the bar brothers thing. I can do pull ups etc but no muscle ups yet! Iv been training by myself for the last year. Mostly burpees and push ups!
