Unlocking calisthenics skills with resistance bands
Meet Doctor Yaad — A Mover, a Mind, and a Force of Nature
This is Doctor Yaad. A mover with insane planche strength, a brilliant mind, and genuinely one of the kindest humans we know. Oh, and yes… he’s actually a medical doctor too. And he is of course a Movement Made team member <3
The Secret to Unlocking Almost Any Calisthenics Skill
Calisthenics and movement training can feel intimidating. Many skills are simply not accessible when you start — and you already know that frustration.
But here’s Yaad’s not-so-secret tool: resistance bands.
“With resistance bands, everything becomes easier. Take the planche, for example — starting without any assistance is almost impossible. But with the right rubber band, you can scale the load, build strength safely, and unlock multiple calisthenics skills.”
— Yaad

Why Yaad Swears by Movement Made Resistance Bands
Did you know one of the reasons Yaad loves Movement Made resistance bands is because they’re 3× more robust than conventional rubber bands?
They’re longer-lasting, snap-resistant, and designed for safety — which makes them the perfect training companion when you’re working toward demanding skills like planche, front lever, pull-ups, muscle-ups, dips, press to handstand, L-sit, and more.

There must be a reason why all our coaches wear barefoot shoes... One sign of weakness is consistently tired, achey, or tight foot muscles. Strengthening your feet will almost certainly help – far more than extra padding, which may feel soft but can weaken your feet over time by limiting mobility.
