FAQs with Youssef

• 1. How did youssef first get into calisthenics and Street Workout?

  I discovered calisthenics in Morocco through local parks and online videos. The creativity, freedom, and community around the sport instantly inspired me. When I moved to France, I kept pushing my limits and dedicated myself fully to mastering statics and holds.

• 2. What’s your favorite BarManiaPro® equipment to train with?

  My favorite gear has to be the Static Bar — it’s perfect for precision and control during my static sessions. I also love the Parallettes Neo V2 with wooden bars; they give me the perfect grip and angle for balance work. I never train without my wrist wraps and liquid chalk, especially during long hold sessions.

• 3. What do you always pack when you travel to competitions or judging events?

  My BarManiaPro® Tactical Backpack is always with me. It fits everything I need — from my training gear and chalk to my judging materials. It’s durable, comfortable, and perfect for international travel.

• 4. What’s your best advice for athletes who want to improve their statics?

  Focus on patience and consistency. Statics require time and control — not just strength. Train clean, build a strong foundation, and listen to your body. Progress might be slow, but every second of a longer hold is a victory.

• 5. What does being a BarManiaPro® athlete mean to you?

  It means representing quality, passion, and authenticity in the calisthenics world. BarManiaPro® supports real athletes and real movement — and I’m proud to be part of a brand that shares my values and commitment to the sport.
