I think people underestimate how hard calisthenics can be. Ever tried a muscle-up? That's more impressive than a heavy bench in my book.

A muscle-up sounds like science fiction to me right now haha. I think I'll start with the hybrid plan. Push-ups and goblet squats!

First post! I'm starting the hybrid plan too. Just bought my first kettlebell.
