The Forgotten Art Of Calisthenics Strength Training - Refael Paz

Refael Paz is a calisthenics coach and rings expert who bridges the gap between bodyweight mastery and traditional strength training. In this episode, we unpack what truly changes as you evolve from beginner to advanced in calisthenics. You’ll learn why early routines stop working, how to balance strength, skill, and recovery, and why combining calisthenics with weights delivers the best results.

We break down the law of carryover, the right training frequency, and how much heavy work you actually need. Plus, we dive into managing fatigue, preventing burnout, and balancing training with real life. If you want long-term gains without injuries, this episode will change how you think about sustainable strength.
