Calisthenics Coaching, done properly — from anywhere in Ermelo
Calisthenics is strength training where the barbell is your own body, and it is brutally honest about weak links. Maddy's coaching builds the fundamentals in strict progressions: push-up to dip, row to pull-up, hollow hold to L-sit, wall support to freestanding handstand work. Every skill is broken into steps you can pass or fail, so a session is never vague — it is a named progression with target holds, reps, and rest. Straight-arm and bent-arm work are balanced across the week, and joints get dedicated preparation because tendons adapt more slowly than muscles. You need a pull-up bar and floor space; everything else is programmed around what you have. Check-ins review your logged attempts and hold times, and the next block is adjusted from them. The result is strength you can measure and demonstrate anywhere.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Named progressions for every skill: push-up to dip, row to pull-up, hollow hold to L-sit, wall to handstand.
- Pass/fail step targets — holds, reps, and rest are specified, so progress is testable weekly.
- Straight-arm and bent-arm strength balanced across the week to protect elbows and shoulders.
- Dedicated joint and tendon preparation, because connective tissue adapts more slowly than muscle.
- Minimal-kit programming: a pull-up bar and floor space, with parallettes and bands added only when a skill needs them.
Who this is for:
- Anyone chasing a first strict pull-up, dip, handstand, or L-sit with a plan instead of random attempts.
- Home trainees with a bar and floor space who want measurable strength, not workout roulette.

Common questions
I cannot do a single pull-up yet. Can I start?
Yes — that is what progressions are for. You start at the step you can pass — rows, band-assisted holds, eccentrics — and advance on measured criteria, not guesswork.
Do I need rings or parallettes?
No. A pull-up bar and floor space cover the first progressions. Parallettes, rings, and bands are added to the plan only when a skill genuinely needs them.
Is calisthenics enough to build real muscle?
Progressive overload builds muscle regardless of the tool, and calisthenics progressions overload by changing leverage instead of plates. Legs are the honest exception — the plan adds loaded or single-leg work if lower-body size is a goal.
