Calisthenics Anki Deck

Push, pull, and squat/leg movements

Chest (pectorals), shoulders (deltoids), and triceps

Concentric is muscle shortening (lifting phase), eccentric is muscle lengthening (lowering phase)

The interconnected system of body segments working together to produce movement

It uses multiple muscle groups and joints simultaneously in each movement

No equipment needed, improves relative strength, better functional movement patterns, lower injury risk

Body awareness in space; crucial for balance, coordination, and skill development

Rectus abdominis, obliques, transverse abdominis, erector spinae, and deep stabilizers

Provides a stable base for shoulder movements and prevents injury

Muscle pairs that produce opposite movements (e.g., biceps and triceps)

The total duration a muscle is under strain during a set

Relative strength is strength-to-bodyweight ratio; absolute strength is total force production regardless of bodyweight
