One of the best no BS health and fittness podcast Ive heard, and I have heard them all.

[@markmcla]

4 very slow pullups for 90 seconds is impressive! -Especially for someone Steve's age. Steve Maxwell is an inspiration!

[@andrewhooves3988]

Definitely one of Steve's best interviews, and I try to catch all of them. You asked him great questions and left nothing to ambiguity.

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hi Andrew, happy to hear that!

[@andrewhooves3988]

@My Home Vitality I actually heard your interview with him! Really enjoyed it and I do refer back to it when I need encouragement for low frequency/high frequency training

[@radercalisthenics]

Tomorrow I will lose my home pull-up station which is my kids' old swingset, now falling apart. We are going to take it down and throw it away. I may just try his board nailed to trees pullup board idea. I love it.

I built one in the back yard from pre-fabbed steel brackets and four ten foot 4 by 4’s. Less than 100.00 total.

[@Llucius1]

I got no idea why , but Steve just got the charm as a speaker. I must say listening to Steve back then really saved me for lots of stupid stuff that I did. Being able to move around in your 60s freely , that's a real feat. I don't think it is a coincident for most of the asian fitness art to head towards "sprituality" , I think the body aspect of being human is incredible but there are things just won't satisfy us with just the muscle. One thing Steve kind of figured out unconciously is that technique and the ability to apply your strength is far more effecient than having the strength alone. And here is where foundation strength plays a key factor , for one person who doesn't have the foundation strength , this rule doesn't apply , only for people who have been well-trained that technique becomes the greater factor in the top run. Also, the nervous system has a great impact on strength and technique , and this is something that science haven't figure out how to actually apply it other than using drugs or computer chips. Ultimately , people in ancient times realize that , how we view life has the ultimate factor in everything we do although we don't realize that. And it is not a coincident why science couldn't really figure many things in human biology , because life is a whole and seperation doesn't make sense.

Pullup boards! Awesome idea!

Nice interview, sound could really be better though

At 66 years old and starting to do Anthony’s blueprint HFT program after moving away from weight training. I’ve shoulder problems so this is totally gold for me. Love the “hanging” thought that’s something I’m into. Regards from England.

Bret Contreras has a very good book on bodyweight training and a home workout video. I think everyone needs to train sprinting or jump rope for your feet and power. Some isometric neck exercises are great as well, bridging could cause problems (bas rutten, mike tyson)

[@tokorojj]

Great video. But what's the difference between Part 1 and Part 2 of this episode? I listened to both, and the interview seemed to repeat, except that the second part has the farewell.

[@ironlung2267]

Frequency, you mentioned HFT, Steve mentioned he does pullups, pike pushups, bw squats, bw rows, regular pushup, ISO deads, Abs, neck, grip, calves and shins. How often, and is working out more frequently counter productive?

[@coldfingers5915]

Surprised to hear about kb swings and lower back stiffening. Just got into them (and some other kb stuff for shoulder stability) recently as imo calisthenics has not enough to offer for the lower back particularly. Isn't it more about how mobile your hips and upper back are? And as well, doing some unloaded low back mobility exercises like the cat cow pose from yoga. I reckon there are shearing forces in just about any strengthening exercise with or without external weight which is what makes the body adapt and become (or stay) stronger than if you didn't do it.

[@derekathomson]

Many people get a sore back when doing KB Swings, unfortunately. The fact that the KB is pulling you forwards and you do a quick turnaround from a forward bend to fishing back up again against the weight and momentum of the KB, can sauce lower back pain and stiffness.

[@lucapaniconi2940]

Someone can help me understand the measure of the pull up board? I find it interesting but had difficult to understand what he is saying

[@derekathomson]

Just do an online search for a "2x4" and you'll get the idea.

[@BB-gj8ck]

For anyone listening to this who doesn’t understand exercise: the host of this program, and Steve have categorically different approaches to exercise. Steve subscribed a to the Arthur Jones high intensity method. This means taking several compound exercises one set to momentary failure, then taking several days off to recover. Once or twice a week maximum. The host seems to take a volume approach, which means working out virtually every day and doing a lot of low intensity volume sets. Steve’s method works much better. Intensity trumps duration, and is much easier on the body. Steve is too polite to tell the host he totally disagrees with him, but I’m pretty sure he does.

[@BodyweightMuscle]

Hi BB, thank you for the feedback and contributing with your comment. Regarding exercise and high-frequency vs high intensity, well that's highly debatable nowadays... For example, the last 1-2 years, more and more respected people in the strength training industry and research are starting to support the high-frequency model (which I've been talking about for over 7 years now). Whatever the case, everything works if you put your best effort in... really, what matters most is asking yourself what fits your lifestyle, what is more practical for you, and what can you do consistently in the long run. After all, consistency beats anything all approaches in the long-run, either that's volume or intensity :) Keep on training my friend!

[@BB-gj8ck]

Absolutely. Not disagreeing. Great video!

[@darylmckay]

Generally enjoyed the interview and some great information. However some odd opinions expressed that remind me how different Americans are from the rest of the world.

Lol. Agreed and I’m American too!

What are some examples?

[@user-vv9np5iq7n]

What’s going on with Steve’s tooth losses? Is he having health issues?

[@rickyl9540]

Fantastic advice!! Only criticism .... at the end...his final thought is generate love for fellow man. Why not extend that love and compassion to the Bison, and game he is eating. Most scientific studies point to the vegetarian diet as the optimum. Not just because it's good for your health, but the nature of a human is to show mercy and compassion to all living beings. If you are eating the corpses of animals you may not realize it but you heart has become hard and conditioned to some degree which means you are not fully developed spiritually. Most people would not cut the throat of their beloved dog, cat or horse but somehow conclude that other conscious living beings can be killed to suit their taste for flesh.

[@rickyl9540]

@fifaldo Sorry but that does not make sense. You are gauging who and what you can kill according to whether you have a friendly relationship with it? This makes it all relative and should therefore include people you don't like or haven't met so therefore you can kill them. Your theory also states that I can kill you if I do it with respect and gratitude?? If you kill an animal, say a deer or cow you are still depriving it of its natural life span and ignoring the fact you are causing it pain and distress. This is our conditioning from birth that we cold heartedly kill an animal and eat its corpse. Just doing this shows that our consciousness is covered by conditioning and ignorance. From a vegetarians point of view your heart is lacking mercy and compassion when you feel no regret in killing other living beings. A vegetarian diet has been shown to be the optimum diet in many studies. A meat eating animal has intestines 3 times the length of its body so the meat passes through quickly. Ours are 12 times the length of the body so meat rots and causes bowel cancer as it's stays in our system too long. A meat eating animal has a stomach acid level 20 times stronger than ours to digest the prey properly. They have fangs to tear out the throat of their prey. We do not have all the characteristics of any meat eating animal. But above and beyond that we can exercise compassion and mercy. If we are not...we might be taking birth as a dog next life as that is the body that your meat eating habit ideally requires. But I know I am wasting my time. Just hoping a sincere soul might see this.

[@mikafoxx2717]

​@@rickyl9540I'm sorry, but you're misinformed. The human's stomach acid strength is higher than wolves.. we evolved to eat meat by using our brains to develop tools to hunt. Our shoulders have more mobility than apes for throwing and using spears.. we also got rid of our hindgut fermenting cebum for cellulose, which is atrophied and useless and called an appendix in humans. Meat doesn't ferment or rot in your gut, the acidity breaks the meat up into amino acids which are absorbed. The Cellulose fiber does get fermented and "rot" in the gut to some extent, but because we have no cebum we can't obtain any energy from the main source of calories in most plants. Why would we have added meat digesting ability like a larger fat emulsifying gallbladder than most carnivores, and removed our plant fiber digesting organs? Evidently we evolved on meat since starting to scavenge from leftovers of other animals, learning to use rocks to break open bones for the leftovers. Our stomachs acid on par with Crows and Seagulls would suggest that's the case.
