Pick a template that fits the moment and copy-paste it into your community post. Encourage members to not only drop a link or mention a resource, but also explain why it works for them. Consider pinning particularly helpful threads or summarizing top recommendations in a dedicated resource list. Mix up formats to keep engagement high, from direct asks to more story-driven prompts.
For all platforms, keep your prompts concise and easy to respond to. Use images or emojis to draw attention. Pin or recap the most useful resources to help new members find them quickly. Adapt formatting for each platform’s features, such as polls, threads, or reactions.
For best engagement, reference skill-specific goals in your prompts. For example, ask: 'What videos or guides helped you unlock your first muscle-up?' or 'Which mobility drills do you recommend for progressing towards a full planche?' This approach resonates with members pursuing iconic Calisthenics milestones and encourages expert tips tailored to those movements.
Yes, indicating a target skill level increases relevance and reduces overwhelm. For instance, ask for 'beginner-friendly push-up progression guides' or 'advanced tutorials for one-arm pull-ups.' This helps members share and discover resources suited to their current ability, making recommendations more actionable.
Explicitly mention equipment constraints in your prompts, such as: 'What are the best YouTube channels for bodyweight-only leg workouts?' or 'Share articles on full routines using just a pull-up bar.' Highlighting equipment limitations makes it easier for members to share relevant, practical options.
Craft prompts that target typical Calisthenics overuse areas, like: 'Which physio videos help with wrist conditioning for handstands?' or 'Share your favorite shoulder prehab routines for frequent push-up practitioners.' This not only invites resource sharing but also raises injury awareness in the community.
Use prompts like: 'What books or courses helped you plan your Calisthenics cycles (e.g., push/pull splits, skill progression blocks)?' or 'Who explains deloading and peaking for bodyweight athletes best?' Members often appreciate guidance on programming, not just individual exercises.
Absolutely. Ask targeted questions such as: 'Which nutrition guides support lean muscle gain for high-volume bodyweight training?' or 'Share your go-to resources for mobility and active recovery for frequent calisthenics sessions.' This ensures recommendations align with the unique demands of Calisthenics practice.
