HOW HE STARTED CALISTHENICS AND HIS PROGRESSION JOURNEY
Fatih’s interest in sports gradually increased over the years. He began his athletic journey with fitness; however, over time he realized that calisthenics—with its combination of strength and skill—was better suited to him.
In the early stages, his training process was largely based on trial and error. As time passed, his perspective on movement evolved; instead of focusing on repetition counts, he shifted his attention toward learning movements correctly and maintaining control. This approach significantly accelerated his progress.
Today, as an athlete who continues to learn, he carries on his calisthenics journey with the same discipline and dedication.
PHILOSOPHY AND MINDSET
For Fatih, sports are not just a physical activity; but a process where discipline, patience and mental development come together.
Rather than chasing big goals in a short amount of time, he prioritizes making small but clear improvements every day. He acknowledges that motivation can fluctuate at times, but believes that consistency should never be compromised.
TRAINING SYSTEM AND FOCUS
Fatih trains with a calisthenics-focused routine five days a week. His training system is largely built around skill development.
Especially the movements he focuses on:
• Planche
• Front Lever
• Muscle-Up
• Handstand
He plans his strength training to directly support these skills. Instead of training randomly, he adopts a controlled, conscious and long-term approach.
