Very much depends on heredity gifts / limitations. Everyone’s in a rush , but quick gains rarely stay long as they are habit based . Slow down guys !

There's a lot of talk about these long workouts. I think 60 to 90 minutes is absurd. Most of the time my workouts don't last more than 20 minutes I can get a great workout with in 10 minutes. Other times it takes a little bit longer depending on how I feel. I'm 63 and I have a very physical manual labor job. The hardest thing for me is trying to balance my recuperation between my regular workouts and my actual job. My lower body gets a lot of work from my job.

Not First again

I think i fall victim to the hindsight bias. I relate to your example. Not sure what to do though.

bullworker straps?

i don't understand the sllution

Hi Matt, I just found your channel and have been applying a lot of the principles. In general,it just makes life”more funner”question please. ..If I am understanding this correctly, once we do how to use tension chains, it’s. It is possible to make almost any movement more effective? Also I have a rebounder on patio..its fun to get am sun and jump..I am thinking one can build muscle with jump squats..lunges etc on jumper with weights. I have 8 pound dumbbells now. . I am working to get my first pullup yet want to still be working on increasing body mass (i am already lean) Do you have any suggestions ?

One thing I love about Calisthenics is that you don’t need equipment…except rows! Are there any self-resistance exercise that can replace rows? If I sit down and pull my legs toward me, could that be an effective pulling movement?

0:08 my deadass brain heard "It's when we are doing sex". I guess no more intercourses for a while.

Great video! 👏🙏

Weight loss alone, starting from a 170cm, 80kg, 28.3% of body fat, and doing a daily routine consisted of kettlebell exercises, light cardio and pushup + pullup, on a 500~1000 cal deficit, I would say that, the first 4 ~ 6 weeks is not enough to even see the changes on the scale. My body was adapting to a new diet and routine. This first 4 to 6 weeks is where I think make or break your progress. 8 weeks in, I am starting to see that I am now 3 kg lighter, my body fat is at 1% lower. My strength has increased. My endurance is better. My appearance on the other hand is more or less the same. But there are subtle changes that only I know, which are smaller belly, bigger legs, pants fit better. So I would say, 12 weeks is the least you would want to plan your program for any progress

67% of the way you look is what you eat. Don't ignore the kitchen work. SUPER high protein (150g+), super low carbs (50g-75g), zero sugar.

Very good, thank you

I think all my text books all day every day during senior high school made me loose a ton of weight XD

Great info! Thanks for asking the question Mark!

Truer words were never spoken,Matt!

You can't quickly get jacked!!!!it takes dedication

4 x 25 is one hundred 😎just keep practicing

Work your way to 25 then just add another set!!!!!!!

Bla bla bla 8-14

It's as simple as 5 minutes

5minutes worth of pushups 10x a day😎 practice practice practice

Omg. This was unreal. Worked first try to my total surprise. No stress and no pain sit-ups.

Since I got kids this approach really helped me to stick to my training. There are times where I only have 10 minutes a day and other timer where I can workout 4x90min per week and anything between. It just makes sense

When I was younger, in Portugal, man still dig the soil with hand hoes. This is a very exausting work. The way they do it was by neuromuscular proficiency. I know this because I still do it to this day and at the begginig it really dificult but once you learn to dosefy your effort and when to apply the force, it becames easier....not easy...easier

Matt I’ve just started doing your GSC workouts after buying your book. I wanted to ask if you still follow that template of workout?

I'll be 69 next month and the third year of my paleo journey. I've always distinguished between strength training and conditioning. I'm leaning towards less progression to failure, the recovery is brutal. More maintenance, Nordic walk, HIIT stairs. I love my gym, from packing my bag to sauna and swim afterwards. Thanx for the fresh perspective. 💪🙏

How is it with burning calories and melting fat. To me it feels that by isometrics my body has a much more longer after burning effect.

thanks, i will incorporate rows in to my workouts.

thanks Matt.

Let's discuss these pushups 😜

Hey motherfucker 🤔 let's discuss this 😎is it strength or stamina

Matt you really speak my language! I like yourself have a martial arts background this is neither here or there. I first ran across your website I wanna say 2011 about your opinion of doing simplifications like dips and chins for the upper body. I believe you said that it comes from the convict conditioning philosophy. That was the first time I heard you mention something called chain training.

See's the video is 2 min long. Subs.

Got your book Matt. Appreciate the balanced explanation in this video. New subscriber. Chicago dad 45yo tennis player and coach

Thanks, sir! I am rehabbing and needed this.

I would assume that if you max out on full pushups and then continue with half reps until you max out again that this would be beneficial since your not giving up as soon.

Wow, thank you

No info what so ever for replacing the habit. Lame.

Excellent training advice.

I'm not ultra busy but ultra lazy, though I don't want to admit it

Go see Bruce Lee workout Sheet using the same weight , but the dude was full of power and strength

Sir do you think in push ups if we do like pushing the earth away vs simply up and down is better?like in read in earle liedermans book where he mentions doing push up as if you are pushing away or in squat as if your weight is twice and you push away floor when rising up ...is that technique useful?

The bigger legs I had was thanks to 12 minutes of intense isometrics for my quads a day, 6 mins per leg, 1 min recovery time. I'm back to that after a stop and added also a 12 mins for shoulders (both with overcoming isometrics of course)

Hi Matt! What do you think about doing several overcoming isometrics micro workouts spread throughout the day? I’m thinking about the longer bodybuilding ones like 3 sets of 45 seconds. It can be quite challenging if you’re doing 5 big compound movements. What are your thoughts?

Same problem and pike push up and hanstand against the wall help a lot.

Really good breakdown and techniques, thanks

Awesome video this is very helpful for people struggling with there mental health aswell 10 mins seems much more realistic than a 2 hour marathon

Another awesome and inspirational video, it's all about fitness independence from the dogmas of fitness 💪.

goob man
