RedDeltaProject ur amazing bro wow i always laugh at peoples thoughts on why prisoners get sooo big with minimal and low quality food. hmm its not food.. its the fact that others are watching. everyones in ther own personal competition with themselves to stay workin out longer and do more sets, reps and get a narlier looking superhero pump than the next man. thats it.. wen i worked out it was all eyes on me so i went hard and ate wen i was hungy. and guess wat i SLEPT! like a baby!,. and went hard everyday anywhere by myself with people wenever pushup pullup dips bodysquats. im 510 220lb 19in arms and of spanish cuban descent. and my abs show. and im strong as fuck. im just confirming wat uve been teaching.. as ur confiming it for me.thank you sir. #pay attention people. smash ur muscles and stop bullshitting

I question the "shoulder blades tucked together" approach a little bit, to be honest. In exercises such as the bench press, it's actually quite easier to get shoulder issues if you do that, than if you're using a natural shoulder/shoulder blade position. I'd say sometimes it helps, but it can also lead to some serious injury on more shoulder dominant exercises.

Very good video, experimentation is key to learning what works for you and what doesnt. You learn gold by doing. Grip will start off a weak part in the chain but it gets stronger and stronger until its not a problem any more. As for tension, full body tension is a key thing to learn, pratice dish rocks and holds, both ways (face up and face down), try get up to 30-40reps or seconds Reps just build endurance, make exercises harder by increasing the difficulty of the progression e.g. pull ups > wide pull ups > archer pull ups > clapping pull ups > one finger assistance one arm pull ups > one arm pull ups

Thank you for this ❤️ so many calisthenics instructors forget about people who are severely overweight or are chronically ill and need “real” beginner advice; not just lose weight and improve your health and THEN try this. That’s why we’re here! I love that you explain anatomy and the mind-muscle connection 💗 the whole point of body weight exercise is that is accessible to everyone, regardless of current state of ability.

when i first began calisthenics, i relied a lot of quantity, i was telling myself that i needed to do 100 pull ups per sessions, and i think thats a good thing to do at first, but then when i really improved was when my quality changed, i started to do from dead hang to chest-to-bar pull ups, and even though they were much less in quantity, maybe like 3 in a row at first , my front lever and muscle ups became so much cleaner and stronger. one of the best videos out there about calisthenics.

For body weight exercises, you may not be able to do a ton of reps. But if you use a suspension trainer, then you can vary the angle so that you are using only a percentage of your body weight and then can bang out tons of reps for a low weight. Similarly, if you lift weights, just use a lighter weight and you can do more reps. But I get the point. Quality reps are harder. But lighten the load and you can do more quality reps if that is what you are after.

Hey I know this was a comment long ago. But doing dead hang, will you then go into the 'bridge' and do as high a pull up as you can go (in my case to my lower chest - hopefully belly button in the future)? And what set-rep scheme would you do these excercises in?

Your last point is gold! I hate that people chase reps. It's not about reps, it's about results. When things get easy, don't add tons of reps, keep the same and add variation to make it harder. The only time to add reps is going for endurance training. Good video man, even if it is from 2015.

I agree so much on reps chasing! People are so obessesed with numbers that they dont care on what they are doing. Its like doing push ups for the numbers! On competition fine but in practice its best focus on the intended muscle that the workout is suppose to focus on. Getting the form correct and get the right muscle to fire is why you do the exercise in the first place. Not the other way around. Really good video

THX Man, i just realized that i've been chasing my own tail until now for almost a decade now. Fixed routines are so fine, but looking for the perfect one is dragging you away from the actual work. I found really great ones but they made me miserably bored with working out (even though it was from Gymnastic Bodies from Coach Sommer - great guy). Today I went to park and just played around, did the stuff i was always to do when i was much younger and much less strong. This felt just great and as a result I finally found a way to feel happy for some working out again. Thank You sir - you made me realize it was a good thing - even though i am no begginer at all.

Dude,100% correct on reps,I've transitioned from a lifetime of weights (35 years under the iron) to callesthenics,and it challenges me in new ways I never thought possible every day,but I guess there's a few things the weights did teach me,and it's don't chase the reps I rarely do more than 15 reps for push ups,but I make those reps slow,tight,and keep a constant tension all the way through the set,and my chest is better now than 15 years ago,tension is everything...but this channel and the information you give is absolutely solid gold man.... keep it up,your subs should be a hell of a lot more

i started with weightlifting but idk i was just never motivated to go and lift weights it was boring. but thank god i found calisthenics i love it! its addicting! there is literally no limit on what you can make your body do with calisthenics its awesome. i liked what you said about just do it and you'll learn from your body. when i started i knew nothing about it i was trying to find routines to do it just wasnt working out. finally i said screw it im just gonna go for it and my body pretty much told me what my limits were and where i need to start and what i need to do to get better. i like to warm up with "rep chasing" just to get a good pump and get loose but then i start doing different workouts that demand my muscles to work and tear and rip and get exhausted and i just keep going until i literally cant do another pushup or pull up and situp. i always look forward-looking to trying something new. my buddy always wants to see if he can beat me with the amounts of pushups i can do. he may do more pushups but i say well can you do this kind of pushup and hes too weak to do a more advanced pushup. "rep chasing" will build strength and endurance but pushing yourself to your limits will build muscle. sorry for the rant but this video is very inspiring!

3:33 absolutely agree with using your palm instead of freaking "perfect pushup" handles. However the perfect pushup do help you get greater ROM. My tip as someone who's converting free weight principles to street workout, I can say that you'll do much better with 2 yoga bricks. These things rock! They cost about 2 bucks each, are more light weight and are durable. You actually develop wrist flexibility same as when you do pushups on the ground, but with greater range of motion. Can be used for handstand pushups, pike presses etc. Extra benefit: Your palms won't absorb all the bacteria from the ground.

By not doing enough flat palmed pushing exercises throughout the early years of my training it ended up jacking up my wrist in the long run. Flat palmed exercises I think is big must in working out. Especially if all you are doing is weights and machines. Add some push-ups and handstands in the mix.

Funny enough Bridges, Hanging and by that extension grip work (Besides hanging I use an adjustable dumbbell and load up one side of it for different wrist rotations and supination/adduction), rubber band finger extension, etc are all things that I started early and doing often because even before I started doing calisthenics I really liked doing famer walks with dumb bells and I had a lot of lower back pain due to sitting all day at my job. Bridging and Hanging fixed the second, the the first encouraged me to do wrist work. Even without a particularly low BW my hands and forearms are solid and veiny when they're pumped now

Hi Matt, sorry I’ve just found this video and I couldn’t agree more! Just going to raise two points honest!! Lol firstly a cure for shoulders down and back AND grip is the Farmer’s walk if time is short or for some reason you can’t bridge yet.. just doing them once a week can be enough! Point two push ups... they too are a double whammy! On the stands you’re trying to press up on 27 little bones forced into a grip.. in the open flat position you’re pressing on just the end of the radius and ulna and secondly if you want to release inside elbow pain whilst warming up for chins you pull your hands back to 90 or hand upside against a wall and lift the shoulder right? So in the push up you are taking preventive measures to painful elbows in your pulling movements!!!

Thanks for the points Thomas, super agree with the farmer carry. I give that to a lot of clients. Super effective as a super set for push-ups and rows as well.

The guy speaks the truth. Yeah, listen to people. Try to find the right way to do your exerises, the way that doesnt lead you to injury. But for everything else you gotta just DO, and get used to it and listen to your body.

Dude i fkn Love your approach on Everything, so simple it's litteralty all you gotta do especially the first point you made. Not alot of people teach the way you do and it's so refreshing. This is How everyone should go out and try new things for real! There is just too much information out there sometimes it's better to learn as you go most of the Times. So glad i found your channel and i've only watched 2 videos so far haha.

I think this is solid advice, my instincts already told me to do most of what you said in this video: however: the devil on my other shoulder is saying to go BY THE BOOK (CC). in the book it says not to even attempt bridging until you've gotten to step 6 of the big 4....

I'm still trying to figure out why personally. The first step in the bridge series is something I've found most anyone can start to do to at least some degree.

Love this. Love it. Just stopped rep chasing. The KB swing is a perfect example that incorporates ALL of these points (one I should have learned from): when you pull your shoulder blades back, learn to fire up all the appropriate muscles and tighten your grip the reps get fucking HARD. Oh yeah; one question: best way to practice bridging? Should I be hanging from a bar? Shrugging DBs? I dunno. Any videos on this?

Excellent, I believe I wrote saying about the push-up Handel's helping me Which they did in helping me start to do push ups again after Many years not doing anything But I do agree with you that it's much better to do push-ups just on your hands (or knuckles if you need more height rather than palms on the floor. )

Hey, I was wondering if you could do a more in-depth video on scapular positions during upper body exercises? I think this would be very helpful for many people, and it's something I definitely overlooked for a long time as a beginner. Great video btw.

You mean "bridging". Pull shoulders down and back. Scapula is down and back too.
