hybrid calisthenics 2.0 vs the original#1004
So I was watching this video which was in the routine section of the site
And hampton says that the original program was great, but people complained about the frequency I guess and he decided to double it.
Does this mean that the original was better?
And why change it if you know it works and is better for them.
The reason I’m so concerned about it is that the “Solid Start” one really fit into my daily routine and I want to use it, But I want to know why did these change and is there any difference in their performance vs the 2.0 one.

The higher frequency and updated version is definitely better - the higher frequency comes with less of a need for as much intensity <- which is more appropriate for beginners, and allows us to practice things more frequently; it’s overall just better suited and more effective
If you still want to pursue the old routine - go for it! But you can also use a 3-day version of the new routine if you’d like

The workout itself would take a little bit longer, but it’s still 3 days a week!
If you have further questions, I’ll be happy to help!
Thanks for the response!
As for the 3-day split of the new workout, I don’t have time unfortunately, two exercises each two sets will take me around 15 mins to complete and it’s really perfect.
A small question about the rep ranges, In the other programs there is a recommended rep range in the description, It’s 10-15 for the bodyweight muscle and around 8 for the pure strength one I believe.
And one should make the exercise harder in those programs if they can do 20 reps (the muscle one) or 12-15 reps(strength one) right? And if they are following the hybrid routine they should do as much as possible until they hit the standards and then progress to the next right?
If so, what are the benefits in the increased rep requirement of the hybrid routine?
About intensity, is it related to how many reps you do?
If so, how does increasing the frequency change the intensity, you should still push yourself to as much as you can same as doing them seperated in the old routine.
Yes - do as many as you can and progress to the next one once you reach the level 3 standard!
The intensity you aim for is related to training goal / rep range; but in the context of the hybrid routine that isn’t something to worry about (you can see what I wrote here if it interests you: https://support.hybridcalisthenics.com/849)
Increasing the frequency doesn’t inherently change the intensity - but if you’re trying to get the same results out of doing 3 sets once a week, compared to doing 6 sets (split over 2 times). then you have to really push those 3 sets to try to get the same effect
If on the other hand you’re pushing yourself equally as much, then you’re just doing half the work and will only get about (a bit more) half the results
In case you do still wanna do more in a more time saving manner, you can do supersets - that way you’d half your rest time and still work very productively, might help you sneak in an additional exercise or something :)
Supersetting meaning that you’re switching between the different exercises each set (pairing them up, like pushups and leg raises) but only resting half the usual rest time inbetween since you get to still recover the used muscles during the different exercise that doesn’t really use them!
I hope that cleared everything up!
Sorry for the late reply, yes all of my questions have been answered thank you.
