One of my Marines told me something similar. He said if you want to get better at running, run everywhere you go... If you're walking to the store, run instead! If you're walking to the mail box, run instead! You will get better at running longer distances. I have my gymnastics rings and i love them. I use them Everytime i walk by them💪😎

I am 65 y.o., and re-start working-out some days before I turned 60. Never stopped, since then. I tried different approaches, but the one that works far better than any other is GTG. This is because 1) I don't want to become bigger (quite the contrary: I'd rather be slimmer than I am); 2) I don't want to stress my heart; 3) I want my body to be ready executing any movement in any moment, without warming-up or preparation: this is a "philosophy". Through these years, I increased general strenght, and specific skills (nothing extraordinary: L-sit, front lever, crow-pose, dragonfly, plus a couple of yoga skills). And all this derives from a GTG approach. No short breath, no sweat, no stress. My body is ready 24 h/day, and I feel in shape. You mentioned the key-concept: NATURAL integration in the daily life. That is, doing something throughout the day, morning to evening. GTG forever! 🙂

@@Frennemydistinction thx, but no it's not. each one of us enjoys specific inclinations toward some movements. what is easy for me can be difficult for you, and viceversa. FL is simply a skill that perfectly fits my strong points. on the other side, pistol squat is a skill that I won't be able to get in a zillion years. 🙂

This is why you want to train at home too. You can just crank out 1 set of pull ups till failure, when changing rooms with a pull up bar. You start in the morning. At the end of the day I sometimes did 5-10 sets. Got amazing reps and muscle improvements this way. Your form will be great because there is so much rest time between sets. Also no sweating.

I'd like to exercise caution here, because the lack of immediate exhaustion also makes it easy to overwork yourself. There was a time I couldn't stay asleep for more than 3 hours until I took a rest week. Edit: it was 3 not 10

My routine is doing 5 sets of 6 reps of clean all the way down (lockout) - all the way up (mid-chest) every other day. With a bonus 6 reps w/25lb added. I’m not sure what my max is these days. A solid 12 wouldn’t surprise me. The wife told me the other day I look like a Greek god statue. That really made my day. I sure wish I felt like a Greek god statue. But I don’t.

Pavel Tsatsouline brought this style of training to America from Russia. He also has an interesting method for increasing any exercise . Say you can do 10 pullups. You cut that amout in half and do ladders. Every Minute On the Minute method so 1 pulkup at top of min. Then 2 pullups next min. 3 pullups next, 4 then 5. Then repeat or Use GTG, so 1 ladder before work. 1 ladder on lunch. 1 ladder in the evening. You say, I can't do 10 pullups, okz fine a 41 in strength band that allows you to do 10 pullups, so if you would try an 11th, you would fail.

Does static stretching increase flexibility and mobility? Should I do it daily or is it enough to do it four times a week after my training to see an improvement in flexibility and mobility?

@Frennemydistinction Ай бұрын

There are many videos on this on YT. The consensus seems to be no, especially if not warmed up. This channel here has several good warm-up, movement prep and mobility videos.

If you do a regular intense training with pull-ups and rows two times per week, should you grease the groove still? If so should u do it on the intense training day or a different day?

@garyh19662001 Ай бұрын

The answer is it depends. Training 2 times per week performing pull ups and rows typically is enough however if you want to introduce it into your schedule or are hitting a plateau, be mindful on each variable (frequency, volume and intensity). The point of GTG is not to do too much so depending on how intense your actual workouts are, will determine how often, frequent and intense you should use the GTG method. Fitness FAQ's talks about it if you want to see a video but simply: you can but don't do too much, stay on the lower end of frequency, volume and intensity so it doesn't impact too much of your recovery and don't be afraid of stopping GTG if it becomes too much physically or mentally. If anyone has better experience in this then feel free to correct me but there's my answer. Typically, GTG is better performed by it self and not performing other exercises that uses the same muscles so you don't over fatigue you muscles and/or nervous system (I.e. If performing pull ups, don't involve any extra bicep and back work in your regular intense training sessions). It is possible though to do it whilst also training the same movement in your regular training sessions you just need to be more mindful. Sorry if this seemed really long or not answer your question fully but hopefully this has helped in someway. I would recommend to perform the GTG sessions on your non intense training days just for recover sake. Here's the video link to Fitness FAQ's who goes in detail (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJLCeISEhZp9qKM) and 2:18 on the video is when he talks about connecting GTG with normal training.

@agafonovas Ай бұрын

I like GTG a lot. The only thing that confuses me is those last 5cm or 2inch of the pull-up. I do have strength for pull-up but can't touch bar with chest. Trying it I'm just jerking at the bar and look stupid :D Can't figure out what muscles finish those last centimeters.

@Frennemydistinction Ай бұрын

Wonder if doing partials from a box or stool, just that end of the movement, might help.

@fcgash Ай бұрын

@@Frennemydistinction I actually do pretty much this on my last set of pull ups, if i can feel my form start to go, i finish the set with good form negatives, rather than bad form pulls. I sometimes add weight for the final set also, which I find stops my elbow pain for some reason I can't quite work out.

@DarthMasiah Ай бұрын

using something to stand on to start the negative with the bar touching my chest helped me get passed that last couple inches. now I'm trying to move passed two clean chest to bar pullups.

@johnguest4525 Ай бұрын

Mimic the pull up movement with a barbell to check you have sufficient range of motion to get the bar to your chest. Tight pecs can act like a resistance band, making the last few inches more difficult.

Its best to incorporate exercises that target different muscle groups, pull ups and dips, pull ups, dips and pistol squats etc. Incorporating too many exercises in GTG can lead to systemic fatigue.

I`d suggest EMOM , do one pull up Every Minute On the Minute for 10 minutes. After a while you`ll be able to do 2 pull ups every minute, then 3 every minute etc. Once you can do 10 reps in single set (wont take too long), move to GTG doing 4-7 reps..
