This is what I'm talking about...other videos spend 10mins talking and than 10sec of actual demonstration. My brother here, talks and demos at the same time and- he doesn't feel the need to keep taking his top off either. Very good video, cheers buddy

[@Well_possibly]

3:06 I live in an apartment with rude, noisy neighbors above. I so need these. Payback time!

[@strengthedgefitness8301]

I literally haven’t learned anything new from the fitness community in like 2 years but stumbled on this video and have never seen the ring push up cross over thing-y you did. Very cool!!

[@gokublack5620]

3:47 Simnett: I'll bang out a couple chinups Also Simnett: Procedes to do pullups

[@aaronwong9709]

Man, your positivity is just contagious. The vid is tight too haha

[@DerekRaven]

You're in great shape. I've just started calisthenics, this is inspiring. Thanks, mate.

[@coryboyd7958]

GREAT job! I'm 62 and workout everyday! Keep up the great work!

[@torriniolong5841]

I'm so thankful I found your Channel. Since the end of May 2018, I've been on this cool journey toward whole-foods plant based lifestyle. Officially August 01 2018, I will be completely off animal fat in all forms. Your story, suggestions, recipes (side note: I love the morning shake), workout tips and fresh attitude encourages me to stay the course. Bless you!!

[@NDemanuele1]

Wow, you have a creative setup! I just bought some rings. Excited to set them up!

[@pawelkapica5363]

I can't beleive it was already seven years since I watched this video. I haven't made much progress since, but I am on the path again now. Thank you, Derek, for making all the good content.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Wow that’s so long ago! It’s okay, life happens. All you can do is your best with where you’re at! You’ve got this.

[@samkelley7137]

I appreciate your down to earth approach man.

[@blackarrowmedia8471]

Great video. Exactly what I’m looking to do at home. Thanks for the tip on the bamboo. Great idea.

[@highpeaktrails]

That’s actually really helpful! Cheers dude. 🙏👏👏👏💯

[@MikeALarios]

This was great to see, thank you. I'm a 32 year old, 5 year long vegan from Seattle who recently got interested in bodyweight fitness and healthier eating, and I've loved all of your videos so far. I've got a free standing pull up bar and some rings crammed into a tiny second bedroom currently, but I'm making it work. You've been a huge inspiration, so thank you. I would love to see more videos of recipes and meal plans you recommend, as all the pictures of your food look fantastic. Thanks again!

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Mike Larios Thanks so much for the kind words and support. I am happy to inspire! We are about the same age in both human and vegan years. Sounds like a sweet setup, anything that gets you moving is good. Chin-up bars indoors are awesome. Yes, I want to do more recipe videos but our kitchen is kind of dark. The one I filmed a few videos in belongs to the people upstairs, I just sneak up there when no one is home. Lol. Cooking up there would be pushing it.

[@blackjohnny0]

Rings are ultimate equipment. Nothing more needed.

[@Simnettnutrition]

+blackjohnny0 You've got that right!

[@formerevolutionist]

Of course! Who cares about legs, right?

[@johnlozauskas778]

In New Jersey, we say, "Suns out, GUNS OUT!!" I have got to get myself some rings. I'll wait until Prime Day.

[@LegalizeTheNuclearBomb]

@Nexatronic Hill sprints and plyometric squats are better for your legs than standard squats anyways, legs fucking suck to train when you're doing lunges or squats. I usually do pistol squats instead to make it more interesting.

[@AteOnoy]

@@formerevolutionist Step ups and running hills work the legs

[@tasheksteen1316]

Really nice setup. Everything you need. Good video too.

[@Pamulav]

Amazing really low maintenance less complications thank you.. This is wonderful

[@zygimantaspaknys7715]

Bro look at you... You've been doing this for so long... Just love it man, keep it up! Love from Lithuania

[@realtor411]

Nice outdoor gym! There's nothing like the great outdoors! Great job!!

[@angeloaugvill9381]

I love that chest fly on the gymnast rings. I've been doing it for a while now. Awesome set up dude.

[@antharding]

That's a really nice space to workout. Love the bamboo bar...and i just realised you have a nutrition thing going on too. Great stuff.

[@insightvideo6136]

Nice bud. I like your setup. Thanks for sharing!

[@lvfregoso8]

Awesome set up thanks for the tour

[@nottingham_ChrisAllison]

Simple and effective..awesome!

[@sharonconnelly3160]

Your amazing, love love your attitude.

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

The bamboo chin up bar and the rings are a nice touch! 👍

[@Zlinky111]

Love the fact that your gym equipment isn't all shiny and super expensive but is so practical. : )

[@OffGridMadMan]

Ingenious! Love it, fair play. This is the we should all do it, OLD SKOOL!

[@AlbertoZermeno21]

nice little set up there! just found out about calisthenics looks challenging, can't wait to set up my own. sometimes lifting just gets boring..

[@petrchutny]

Thanks, lot of workout motivation from you!

[@thenry937]

Great vids, glad I found your channel! 💪💪💪💪

[@jyotiabhijeet2820]

Whoosh. Thats a brilliant set up

[@fjfjrfjfjr]

Nice set up!

[@dawncaruso2459]

Very cool at home set up

[@irishbrother5303]

Thanks for the help with you vids man,gonna build my own set up similar to yours

[@annaalm3395]

awesome equipment! so basic and un-fancy:) love it!

[@borisbeltran592]

Great job on the video, and a creative setup

[@Rob_buynearboston]

Still reliving the classics!

[@cesarperez2216]

Cool set up! Keep investing in your little gym. I go to the park when kids are in school. All I got is one pair of dumbbells and bands. You can do so much with a little bit of equipment

[@johnview3940]

Really like the ring idea. Will definately be getting some. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes, the rings are awesome. So good for progressing.

[@rosalindpilling1774]

Fabulous watched your videos for along time an now today I started today beginner workout calisthenics😀Thankyou for all the information you give xxand Hi Crystal 😘

[@cdahl]

Nice tour. Love the bamboo bar. I may have to get some rings myself. They look like they add a whole new dimension to calisthenics.

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Charles “Axel” Ekendahl It really is next level. I haven't really explored them full yet. I want to start using them more, maybe learn the ring muscle up. It seems so hard!

[@ariturbo4094]

Tx for sharing and demo bro

[@retrolongboarderNZ]

Great video (as usual) - like your down to earth style! I'm from NZ.. We're all down to earth here! ☺. Found your videos very inspiring (almost to the point of going vegetarian). Thanks.

[@Simnettnutrition]

I would love to visit NZ! Oops, 1 year ago, sorry for the late response ;)

[@retrolongboarderNZ]

No worries at all, you are a busy man I''m sure. NZ looks very much like where you are! :-) I actually watched this video again after seeing your reply, and felt very envious of your workout - as I fractured my Scaphoid a few weeks ago! OMG what a hassle, very limited exercise other than walking and some leg stuff (walking any longer than one hour hurts). I miss my pushups and pull ups etc.

[@ricardovelasco1365]

Good job bro!

[@rochellerc7690]

Ok, thank you Charlie. I took the vegan plunge 4 days ago. The first couple days were a little difficult, but I'm eating a ton and feeling better. So far so good and I'm eating beans and grains everyday. Thanks a lot for your advice and suggestions 😊

[@dvhaute]

Great stuff, Dereck! Keep going!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks so much! Will do.

[@johnnyc1227]

I bought a Weider 200 Power Tower foot print 26 1/2" W x 56"L x 83" tall w/leg lift,dip,pushup, wide to close grip pullup stations for $98 and it's really sturdy. I love it !

[@TACalisthenics]

Nice setup man!! I need to get myself some of those Olympic rings!

[@duvian77]

I'm from Colombia, the country, your videos are awesome.

[@PurabSarhanAbro]

Great video man.

[@sk8ershanQC]

Cool set up!

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Chewbacca QC Yes, only for a few more months before I move, but it has been good to me this winter.

[@akaimpkbrasil]

Good job!!

[@lisset2012]

You are so cute ! I just subscribed for that reason. Very humble and simple. No need to have expensive things to stay in shape. Thank u.

[@curiousgee5513]

Good stuff!! Your a great teacher.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you! :D

[@CorreSport7]

Cool video. I also practice the "no-count" at times. As a runner, sometimes I'll run for an hour, other time I'll run for maybe 37 minutes. As far as calisthenics go, I also switch it up and try not to be too regimented. I like the bamboo tip. I also pick up usable items from curbside abandon.

[@reinosteelframe9848]

Gracias amigo!!!👏👏👍

[@askaboutRudyV]

Cool video bro, nice home gym equipment. I do pretty much all the same things, I have double dip bars, similar to yours, mine are orange, and instead of rings, I made a homemade suspension system with two 9 foot long, 3/4 inch diameter rope, and the two handles are made from two 5 inch lengths of 1 inch pvc pipes, and of course my metal pullup bar that I made with 4x4's of wood.

[@jennys6087]

Great idea for my boys!!

[@kfrancis1872]

Jenny S When my sons were young and bickering I'd call out "BOOT CAMP!!!". Calisthenics & sprints outside around the house, took 20 mins to wear them out lol. My youngest "Mommy, can we do more??" He just finished his last college FB season, trains with NFL WRs at their private camp (by invite). My oldest: "Mommy, I won't fight anymore" lol...just finished 6 yr Marine Reserve contract as a Sgt. ("Ma, (Marine) boot camp wasn't that bad, u raised me!!" Lol. Go for it Mom

[@ChakraWielder]

Great info man - you deserve more subscribers! I'm just getting started out so this helps give me an idea of what I could do if I get some basic home equipment in.

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Zenith Gaming Awesome! Thank you. My channel is still fairly young so it will grow. I also don't do any crazy videos like calling people out or using big KZbinrs names to get views. You sure don't need much to get started. I only had a chin up bar when I first started out.

[@steveaustinhurst]

This video really made me happy. :)

[@danieladams2986]

Cool and humble dude 👍🎸

[@landoherrera3829]

Really cool

[@miloradvlaovic]

Inspirational! So amazing what some people can achieve on purely plant-based nutrition. It'd be impossible for me, as a hypoglycemic to have any significant gains if I were to only eat plants. And to be honest, while I think I could relatively easily leave out meat from my diet ( I seldom eat it as it is ), I'd miss sweets, milk and eggs. Kudos to the guy, he's so pragmatic and frugal, respect!

[@tweddelltrumpet]

Dereck, you always have cool looking workout clothes and I loved your shoe video. With the winter months upon us, I'd love to see a video addressing outdoor workout clothes for those of us who do our workouts out doors in the frigid temperatures. Thanks Dereck!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Hey Craig. Thanks for the nice comment. Thats an interesting video idea. I would not have thought about that. I have a few to do first, but it's one I will definitely keep in mind. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

[@wb5mgr]

Really nice home setup.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks. I have a new one now, even more fun! Just did a video on it the other day!

[@tonycanelo2519]

FYI for anyone looking for dip bars/parrellets you can make em yourself for a fraction of the cost using pipes from most hardware stores.

[@LivetheLifeYouLove4you]

What a pup! The early stage of your online life.

[@jemangedessaucisses206]

I'm a big fan of at-home fitness. Great video.

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Black Witch Moth Oh yeah! No excuses!

[@humanhanddesign8857]

Bamboo chin up bar is a super smart idea. I've built a freestanding pull up station from 4x4 lumber, and the bamboo pole is going to make it that much cooler. Thanks for the idea.

[@Simnettnutrition]

No problem. That will be awesome. I hope to build something like that some day. A helpful tip: I have purchased a few lengths of bamboo in my life and a have noticed that while two pieces of bamboo may have the same diameter, the thickness of the wood (grass) can vary quite a bit. The thicker the wood, the stiffer it will be, which is a consideration when asking bamboo to span 4 or 5 feet. Hope that helps. Let me know how it goes.

[@humanhanddesign8857]

Thanks. I actually spoke with a guy in California who sells bamboo poles, and he recommended 2 inch diameter for strength. The only problem was shipping was about 3X more than the cost of the bamboo. I built it with all timber from joinery, so there are no nails or metal, would be so much cooler to keep it metal free and have the bar plant based as well, haha. Love the channel, new subscriber.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Human Hand Design Oh very cool. 2 Inches is a little thick for my hands (I'm not that big) so the 1.5 - 1.75 is best for me. But if it's good and strong, it's more than enough. Check out this guys set up with bamboo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q32WioduZaqbn7c

[@soursally]

Chinese bamboo... very strong.

[@Simnettnutrition]

VERRY! I have some in my garage. Waiting for the good weather to make a new pull up bar.

[@xlr8442]

That obscure Rush Hour reference....

[@rlburton]

recognized that immediately

[@vikingstrength9648]

[@arseniocubos6636]

The best way to do this kinda exercise I think

[@Fahad-369]

You have a great physique and strength my brother ! Calisthenics only or weightlifting as well eh ? Man your doing a good job on these videos ! Keep it up.

[@brett7011]

No excuses for this guy

[@AbdullahAsimAli]

Nice!!!!

[@michael_viteritti]

Thx for sharing. I have a similar home gym, just inside ;)

[@disha779]

My home town ... love your video's

[@planetfeelgood17]

Great!! Thanks!! :)

[@Chaos3742]

Cool video man

[@johnlo9187]

Keep up the good work son!

[@Kropotkin2000]

The bamboo isn't any warmer in the winter. The difference is the thermal conductivity is about 100 times less. Just putting this out there in case anyone thought bamboo defies the laws of thermodynamics and somehow remains above the ambient temperature in the middle of winter.

[@b3makinn]

I Like your style man

[@Yog0rt]

We have the same gymnastics rings and dip bars!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh HELL YA

[@babbar123]

Super helpful video. What about leg and lower back workout?

[@prashantmishra7490]

Do squats and lunges variations

[@GeorgeG90]

the simpler it is, the better results u get !

[@matthewskipper5542]

Love your content and your chilled vibe- would you consider doing a handstand/handstand push up tutorial? Despite being fairly strong from weight training I'm pretty sure I'd snap my neck if I just YOLO'ed into it

[@Simnettnutrition]

I will try however I am not able to hold a handstand and do a push up free standing.. I need a wall!

[@Sergio2006A]

Cool video, bro.

[@danmur9721]

love at first sight. your cool

[@Simnettnutrition]

So are you friend!

[@matiascastillo4825]

thanks bro

[@brucethornton5181]

Cool gym bro

[@Devenrow]

Good video 👍👍

[@traskmartin284]

Hey thank you for the video!!! Good stuff man. I watch a lot of you Food videos witch are also very valuable... I was actually wondering if you could point me in the right direction to how I could start learning how to master calisthenics?

[@gamure]

Thats a great set up!! Where did you order the bamboo piece?

[@AlexanderLopez-wr3eu]

a realy love your home gym!!! "like" from chile!!!!

[@johndaoreo1427]

Could you make a video on how to make the bamboo chin-up bar?

[@Pluvo2for1]

Hi Derek. Very inspirational! How long do you workout each day (running too)?

[@youriklinkhamer9638]

Nice lil gym you got there! ;)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks! I just moved, but I've still got all the equipment and am building something up.

[@jgfergus]

Great video Derek. Love the bamboo pullup bar. One piece of advice. You are flaring your elbows out a little too much when doing your pushups. That could result in shoulder injury down the road. Try to keep your elbows closer to your body. They are a little harder to do but better for your shoulders. Cheers from Mississauga Ontario!

[@Simnettnutrition]

+Jeff Ferguson Oh cool. Mississauga! I grew up in Sawmill Valley. Burnamthorpe and Mississauga Rd area. Thanks for the tip, will keep that in mind. I do my pushups without flaring (check out my bring sally up video), but on the rings it seems to feel okay. But I will be mindful of it. Thanks.

[@jgfergus]

Wow...what a coincidence! I'm at Glen Erin & Britannia. The GTA is just massive urban sprawl now. I'd rather be in BC. I spent 4 years in Coquitlam as a kid ('68-'72) and love the mountains. Love the Kootenays, Nelson area. Keep up the excellent videos!

[@squizzomanizzo6823]

Hey Derek! I'm wondering if you do crunches? Could you do a video specifically on abs exercises that you train? Thanks so much, your channel and progress is quite inspiring.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes, I am expiramenting with different ab techniques right now, when I'm happy with my findings, I'll definitely do a video. It won't include many crunches. ;)

[@nunnus]

2 years after and here we are! :D
