So a lot of people have asked me if there's a way to get stronger and more powerful without adding bulk. it seems a lot of people are after that "Bruce Lee" or "One Punch Man" effect!
This can be challenging, seeing as many of the catalysts for strength gains also lead to increased hypertrophy: metabolic stress, muscle damage, and mechanical tension.
Fortunately, there are several aspects of our strength that aren't linked directly to size. Generally, these revolve around neural efficiency: both "intermuscular coordination" and "intramuscular coordination." I describe these concepts in detail, as well as several others. The video also dives into "Farmer Strength" and "Dad Strength" and explains a possible scientific basis.
Plus, this acts as a defence for a lean looking Batman! :-P That trailer was awesome, fair enough!

Oh man! So true. Don't mess with farmers LOL The strongest guys in my highschool were farmers sons. My cousin told me that he and his friend struggled to lift a half barrel with water in it (2 of them together) - their farmer friend hopped down out of the tractor, picked it clean off the ground. They were both shocked at how much stronger he was than those 2, who were pretty strong for their age.

He can grab a 50 kilo sack of rice with his vice-grip hand, and just sling it up onto his upper back. I’ve seen him dig up decent sized rocks outta the fields, and just toss em around. Now, I can toss the bags of rice and the rocks pretty easy myself, but considered I’m 6’2” and 225, and he’s 5’4” and maybe 140…..

I think an important component a lot of people tend to forget is the individual biomechanics. Like some people have "longer" muscles in certain areas that - even with technically the same mass - will look "smaller" or less bulky. Or just relative lenghts of different body parts to each other which will just make certain movements easier. Then there's also some other specifics that aren't directly tied to muscular strenght but things like your lung capacity, your bloods capacity to carry oxygen etc.

Dude, same here! I went to school with a guy that became my best friend, we were 10 years old back then and he was already a beast, he was even stronger than many adults, naturally he had a good physique but living in a farm for sure helped him in that. Funny story: he was paranoid about leaving some book at home and not bringing it at school when it was needed, but he also didin't want to leave them in the class closet, so he put them all at once in his schoolbag and went to school with that literally every single day. Now try stuffing a book for every single subject in the schoolbag, not only it looked like it was going to explode at any second, but the thing was heavy as a boulder XD But he didin't care, it seemed something like the weighted clothes that are used by the protagonists in Dragon Ball

Coming from a combat sports background, the desire to get big without a functional base was always foreign to me. To me, getting bigger means having to move up a weight class and fighting guys who would not only be the same weight, but also taller, longer and have less aerobic demands on their bodies. Getting strong, more explosive and having more endurance for your natural weight class has always made more sense to me haha. So I'm grateful channels like yours exist for this reason

Thanks. You're helping a lot of people over the years promoting a strong body. Flexibility exercises also help. The farmer strength is unique in a way due to the demands of unpredictable movements during the day also equivalent to a construction worker where balance, rotational motion, and resistance is against you at which any point if untrained can injure you instantly. Even without professional help, one learns balance and all sorts of contortions that a particular task may entail over time as it is mostly physical and repetitive while being at the mercy of mother nature most of the time, heat, cold, dust, smoke, wind, having to endure all these while performing the task as opposed to one doing all the reps in the world indoirs or in an air conditioned gym. Highest respect for people doing manual labor in these fields. Cheers. I just subscribed!

The farmer thing is real. Lived on a farm a few years, the farmers son spent his days lifting hay bales around. I got him into doing lifting, he was deadlifting 250kg for reps within a few months and that was in his late teens. He's gone into proffesssional shotputting now.

Farmer's son here, I've always been short, but I also had to throw haybales ten to twelve feet in the air onto trailers. Lots of building fences, digging, and other tasks. Now I work in construction and I'm not as strong as some of the guys who grew up in construction, but who are slimmer and lankier than me. Probably because I also spent a lot of time just sitting down in tractors lol

We had to lift the metal frame of some trailer thing, and where I was like struggling he just lifted it like it was nothing, while I had been training regularly for about 7 years and he hasn't touched a dumbbell in his life.

@Roberto Vidal Garcia fortunately it never happens lol. I do a chow gar style over Shaolin, so all the elements that would be useless in street fights were removed quite a while ago. It's all eclectic martial art, so you'll find it has moves that are common across a lot of different martial arts, except chow gar is probably much older than most of them. I can't speak for all styles of kung Fu, but my style , chow gar praying mantis, is pretty hard to distinguish from krav or silat, and we have the same conditioning as Muay Thai students, and a lot of conditioning exercises that they don't have. So in a street fight, we'll always have the edge. The only weakness I can think of is ground wrestling, cause I haven't seen much of it at all in my fighting style.

@@carmallym7286 I personally started with Tai Chi Chuan Fa and branched out from there to hone in on the Chi Sau and Wing Chun Styles, but I still encorporated the myriad animal styles we learned, primarily mantis to crane since they're very similar hand structures and switch out pretty seamlessly. Panther style never lost its flare with me, it's too devastating to leave behind as a grapple and strike style. But when it comes to being grounded, switching up to elephant does wonders. However, that's all with the caveat that my original school was a bit of an all you can eat buffet of style samples. My dad was high rank and so pulled me out before I attained too high a belt rank and linked me up with a warehouse dojo that participated in the Dance of the Golden Lion where I actually got to specialize and learn an armed fighting form, I was always particular to the jian. I can't say I learned my sword in any one particular style, though. My favorite exercises were always in the pool, I loved fully submerged training for building speed and strength in equal measure. Fighting against water makes everything else feel like flying. I brought a heavy synthetic bokken with me once... that... that was intense. It's those wooden fixed arm dummies that wreck me, though. I need to get another one and work through it but man was it pain growing up.

I look forward, to buying your ebook as well. My son, is very concerned, with not losing his thinness, for fear of becoming ''slow'', so I'm going to try to get him, to listen to (and try) your very sound counsel, concerning this program's advice. Excellent, by the way, as I've been strong (beyond my 'boney', under-nourished soul when young), I know, only because, of the types of movements you speak of here that I practiced when young, 'religiously', having no clue whatsoever -with zero guidance or reference!- that's how I can prove to myself conclusively, that YOU, Sir, KNOW exactly what you're talking about!! SALUTE!! (I was going by feelings/instinct/the seat of my pants!) I gradually, got bigger as I matured, and the 'look' I'm aming for, when I resume training, will be a kind of 'cross', betwixt an 'old-school'-bodybuilder (think, Chuck Sipes, or John Grimek) and that of a 'stocky'-gymnast (wish me luck! Better than luck, for I have in my 'arsenal', amongst other advanced 'weaponry', The Bioneer!) Much Success to You friend! P.S.: As a Dad, with a daughter of his own, I can attest to this with the 'authority' of experience; namely, your baby-girl, is adorable! And, just as mine used to, her constantly trying to get to see what Daddy is doing, makes her more so, and I know, brings you the kind of JOY, that those who(m) are not so blessed, cannot truly understand!

Wrestling even an OBJECT (like a tree stump you’re trying to remove, or a rusted bolt you’re trying to unscrew) for a minute is taxing, You could start out cold, and immediately work up a sweat. Wrestling (or any other intense isometric hold exercise) is a lot of bang for buck. I’m a female, and literally every time I moved home, I’d lose like 5 lbs and get really toned from walking back & forth all day long, carrying heavy stuff, but since I was never able to figure out how to maintain the results, they only lasted for about a week...but it was still impressive how quickly the body adapted to the demands placed upon it.

The secret is doing *multijoint* exercises. Most gym equipment is designed for isolating only one main muscle group, which means by doing them you increase their size, but you don't really connect muscle groups with each other. That's why for functional strength it is best to do exercises which engage whole body at once (pull ups, push ups, deadlifts, squats, hanging leg raises to the bar - basically most bodyweight exercises).

So, there we are at the end of a hard day, worn out and tired, with all our post holes dug and posts set....knowing tomorrow we get up bright and early to get all the animals fed, and other chores completed, before we can go back with a post driver and put the steel posts in between the posts we put in yesterday....all the while knowing we have several miles of wire to hang and stretch the next day, and cows that needed moving ages ago LOL It's not just the small activities...it's the daily routine, and the extra work done on top, and doing what needs to be done no matter how worn out or tired you are....so, we aren't just mysteriously strong, we're stubborn!

That is more about moving the body and using it daily. If you had to swing a sword 8 hours a day in a productive way that accomplished something you would get really good at swinging a sword. Being able to move your body in a coordinated way that is efficient and with endurance with moderate loads are skills. The more you move the body the better it gets at moving. It should be no surprise that someone that moves more than the average American and does things more strenuous than the average American would be stronger and have more endurance than the average American. The key though is being able to command what muscle you have to work together in a coordinated way. Muscular coordination is a real thing. Also real life work has a high amount of isometric stabilization involved. If you are going to carry a chain saw out to the woods you can not have it just flopping around banging into you. So you have to have some tension in that are for the entire time you are carrying it. You abs and obliques have to have some tension in them too the entire time. That all add's up over the course of a day. That is functional training at it's most basic, functional and useful level.

Dynamic and Irregular movements. As the lazy parasite of the house I have realized that doing the dishes trains your feet and core a bit, mopping/sweeping the floor helps your grip strength and arms, doing the laundry strengthen's your biceps and core. No wonder my mom's beatings hurt. (Don't worry I'm not abused, I'm Asian.) I guess it's time to train like a mother and be strong while actually being helpful.

I’ve been rock climbing for a year now just for fun, and I started in pretty good shape: 155 pounds. A year later I’m 140 and stronger than I was back then. The weird contortions you have to put yourself in to climb harder routes makes you really naturally good at calisthenics. My body has adjusted to its own weight, and I feel like I can move around more easily than most. One con to training like this: if all you do is climb your body will adjust to climbing, and you’ll need to train antagonist muscles. But even so, I’m skinnier than all my friends and pretty much as strong or stronger than them. (Also, working out is a lot easier when you actually have fun lol)

I'm a climber as well. I started doing yoga initially to try and get more flexible, but I found it's also quite good at engaging antagonist muscles, a vinyasa flow where you are pushing back to downward dog etc. is pretty much the opposite of what you are doing when you are climbing and also engages a lot of those minor supporting muscles that don't really get used much in normal life.

@@orhunsen7426 True. Might be not optimal though. Also, the way bb works versus a farmer is that the farmer will use and re-use the same weight most likely, so he's literlly working on endurance at that point, wheres in bb you're going to do differnt things. Many bodybuilders have different phases where they ight go and train strenght but its up to the individual etc.. So I think its clear the farmer will have more endurance. Its like going up in weight with 10reps, while the farmer is still stuck at 5kg and now he does 1000sets of 5kg xd But yeah :D

Hey Bioneer, been watching you for a few months- you're a real inspiration and seem to be one of the realest fitness KZbinrs and one that really knows what he's talking about. I had a video request and I think a lot of people would really appreciate it too. I'm 19 years old and at the moment I look like I don't really go to the gym. Not so much that I'm fat or anything but I look more like the skinny fat physique. I bring this up because I feel as if this video talks more about if you already had some muscle on you and I know that in order to have that farmer strength be really effective (to the point where you're as powerful as the biggest bodybuilders) you need a decent amount of muscle already- like the point where people can tell that you go to the gym but at the same time you're not happy with your level of strength. What I'm saying is that I think the video is more for people that already have that muscle but just want to improve their control over what they have. Would you mind making a video on this same topic, the hidden power "farmer strength" but if one had to start from zero essentially? I would really appreciate it, as I would love to become an MMA fighter without being slowed down by my size. Thanks Bioneer.

On "Farmer's Power' That is true. My great-grandfather worked all his life, when he was 6 he was going with the ox (s) and pushing this long manual plow, then when he was 16 he was breaking rocks with a hammer and finally after the second world war he became a fisherman-pulling his own boat by himself (long wooden boat that was made for 15 people/fishermen) by that time he was 89 years old. People were looking at him holding the boat with his right hand (his left hand had a crutch because his legs were shot by a Gatling gun during the war) ...so like I said with one hand he was pulling the boat at 89 all the way into the water by himself and then he was putting it back on the beach after he caught some fish. This man helped us all, his strength was unbelievable....was he muscular? Nope, he just had power....I never could win in an arm-wrestling match with him....not even when he was 97 years old.

Exactly . Muscles are basically packets of qi . & qi is electromagnetic energy (inner-qi) . So when you have stronger/more qi, those with weaker energetic fields in the form of a sedentary undeveloped body, you’ll either make people nervous or you’ll inspire people . Women are attracted to high electromagnetic energy in men, hence the attraction . The aesthetic physique as far as having a sexually appealing body is really just a bi-product of the built up energy - the icing on the cake if you will

As a martial artist, I try to increase speed and strength together with staying flexible. I don't just train for competitions with rules though, getting mugged, street fights, bar fights, etc., these are things that can happen at any time no matter how careful you are. While being bigger and having more muscle adds intimidation and makes people think twice about messing with you, there's no guarantee someone stronger or tougher or armed won't try something. That's why I would rather have more strength, speed and endurance if I come across those situations, because size isn't always going to work, but overall physical ability won't let you down. Thanks for the great video!

This explains why I always felt like I got really strong (for my build) the summers I worked in a warehouse attached to a store despite not getting big. I would be lifting bulky and awkward hundred pound boxes as a 160 lb, slightly chubby, 5'8" nerd. By the end of summer it would be easy despite having gained maybe 5 pounds on the scale. I did these lifts all day, one at a time, a dozen or so minutes between each, with occasional bursts of lots of lifting (unloading a pallet on a shelf or receiving a truck shipment, etc.). Now I work an office job and work out way more consistently after work, but get zero during work. I actually miss the old job a little, until I remember the pay, the manager, and working at a fucking pool/outdoor furniture store.

I came to HS 6’ 175 and graduated 6’ 185. My bench went from 135-335 over the 4 years. The only thing I can chalk it up to up to present day (I still maintain similar shape with a bit of extra weight) is I lifted violently and purposefully. I wasn’t seeking aesthetics and time under tension, I pursued explosiveness and power. Now I mix this style in with lighter weight higher rep counts to focus a bit more on aesthetics.
