Program Description

Welcome to the ultimate hybrid program—designed for the serious athlete who refuses to choose between brute strength and bodyweight mastery. Hybrid Strength x Calisthenics Skill is a 4-day/week program for intermediate to advanced lifters, with a bit of calisthenics experience, who want to simultaneously get stronger in compound lifts, master elite calisthenics skills (planche, front lever, handstand, muscle-up), and develop a lean, muscular physique. Whether you're a climber, powerlifter, or bodyweight athlete, this program will take your performance to the next level. Program Goals: -Build advanced calisthenic skills (planche, front lever, handstand, weighted muscle-up) -Increase absolute strength in compound barbell lifts -Develop balanced muscular hypertrophy across all major muscle groups -Improve your power-to-weight ratio for climbing, athleticism, or aesthetics -Enhance mobility, control, and joint integrity for long-term performance Weekly Schedule (4 Days): Day 1: Push Strength + Skill (Planche + Handstand) + Upper Hypertrophy Day 2: Pull Strength + Skill (Muscle-Up) + Upper Hypertrophy Day 3: Lower Body Strength + Handstand Skill + Posterior Chain Hypertrophy Day 4: Pull Volume + Skill (Front Lever) + Arm & Core Hypertrophy Block Format: -4-week mesocycles -Week 4 is a deload (reduced volume and intensity) -Weekly progression in reps, sets, or load while keeping RIR 1–2 on most working sets Progression Principles: -Use RIR 1–2 for working sets. Increase reps/weight weekly within rep ranges. -Skill progressions: Increase hold time or move to harder progressions (e.g. tuck → advanced tuck → straddle)
