Program by DAREBEE

The Strength Protocol is a classic calisthenics 30-day program based on the traditional split of X-number of sets per exercise before you move on to the next. It is a strength and size oriented program designed to level up your physical capabilities through the hyperloading of specific muscle groups and through the exercise progression - the exercises get harder as you go from day to day.

If you would like to get more into serious calisthenics this program will be a good first step towards that goal. The exercises are just challenging enough to help you grow in strength before you can proceed to more advanced moves like, for example, the human flag and handstand push-ups. If you are considering trying this program you should be able to do a minimum of 30 push-ups in one go. 

This program is split into major muscle groups accenting each one individually: shoulders, chest and triceps, back and biceps, legs and abs. It is fairly intense, there are only days of active rest but no complete days off. If you require a day off every now and then, it is perfectly fine to take one.

Note: it is a no-equipment program but if you have access to a pull-up bar we strongly recommend you add this Bar Addon on days with a pull-up icon (back & Biceps days).

Yes, the workouts are awesome and I like them very much. They are easy to understand and don't require much knowledge so you can simply start working out.

BUT what I think is at least as great is the design and functionality of the website. It is just so clean and well organized. I love the filter functions, they work very well and you can find exactly what you need in seconds. Also the bookmark feature is just awesome! The way you can organize the bookmarks, create different collections and sort them so efficiently is very thoughtful and way better than I have seen it on many bigger platforms. I think it is just an example where one can see that the Darebee team not only strives to create the best workouts but for excellence on every level. Tank you! You are doing an awesome job!

After more than a decade, and after trying countless websites and apps, it's still my number one choice for workout plans and creative exercise inspiration. Unlike other apps and sites, the full experience is available regardless of ability to pay; even when the job market has been tough, Darebee has been there with accessible, effective workouts to help keep me on track when other obstacles crop up. Whether it's a full workout, or a little challenge to supplement other routines, Darebee has ALWAYS had me covered. The wide variety of skill levels available means that I can find something, even if injured, tired, or simply out of practice. Need to work on something specific? Pick a challenge for it. Injured? Rehab workouts and exercise alternatives abound. Not sure how to use all those dumbbells you somehow acquired over the years? No problem--you can find workouts with that equipment. In conclusion: Darebee is pretty rad; an awesome, effective resource, that anybody who needs a bit of sweat and strength in their lives can appreciate. Thanks to the Darebee team for their dedication, hard work, and commitment!

I found this site a few months ago and had a "Where has this been all my life?" moment. I've resented exercising for years, even as an athletic kid, and now I've been starting each day with a workout… I found this site a few months ago and had a "Where has this been all my life?" moment. I've resented exercising for years, even as an athletic kid, and now I've been starting each day with a workout for the past month and feeling great! This site is such a valuable resource and I've recommended it to my friends. If you're not sure where to start, READ THE INTRODUCTION and try a 30-day program! I had great success with Total Body Strength Plus and am now using the Drifter plan.
