Bro, you've gotten so big! I remember you saying during your GVS interview that you've been lean bulking, and it's showing. Thanks for the info and congrats on your physique, you're my inspiration!

[@slammburger69]

I really like the “ego lifting for strength” tip here. I used to be hyper focused on slow and controlled reps when it came to horizontal rows. It wasn’t until I upped the weight and focused on being more explosive that strength gains really started to blow up on my pulls.

[@percy.garou1001]

Just control the eccentric And explode on the concentric

[@harisriram98]

One of only few fitness channels that gives you both calisthenics as well as dumbell/barbell/machine exercise variety for any workout so you can get the job done no matter what equipments you have available. Awesome!

[@Shredder-ug1fu]

The only fitness channel you should follow

[@petermashaba6744]

and Mike's RP strength

[@Doris-i4x]

I absolutely agree mate!!

[@freestyletrainer]

Others made complicated contents 🤯. Me personaly only do pull up, push up variations, explosive and single leg variation, toes to bar variations for abs. And I am also a marathoner ❤ keep it simple for years and results will come!

[@javierrodriguez4218]

Nah

[@FacelessBillions]

for short: -for vertical pulls either pullups or pulldowns are ok, with OP prefering Pullups -for horizontals using barbell rows and inverted rows are quite damn good (barbell rows are easy to progressively overload and give you crazy lower back gains, you can modify inverted rows to make them harder). You can also do front lever rows and stuff, also pretty good -for diagonals you can do any form of pullovers and single arm rows because they wrap around your ribs. the calisthenics version is front lever pulls, while strict muscle ups also count. -diagonals are not 100% needed but can give you some extra gainz because of variety -RDLs and other hip hinges will give you the missing goodies for back, and help a lot with posture

[@Udayveer_Singh]

Perfect timing. I needed this!

[@Darkman3299]

Calisthenics mixed with beautifully controlled eccentric lifts... no wonder you have the best back on youtube. Always a pleasure watching your stuff plus you've really gotten big man

[@mhzidan4042]

Bro unlocked the devel back like baki hanma😮

[@tomheaven4623]

You are the best fitness coach on KZbin.

[@cesarmartinaguirrearagon4076]

Could you release a similar video to this one but on the chest (How to grow a bigger chest or something like that). Maybe it is just me, but I was not able to find a complete push workout on your channel. Thank you so much for all you do! You are a great source of knowledge for calisthenics guys.

[@MonkeyBoy-sd9vc]

Dudes chest is absolutely incredible

[@camerachris]

What I love most about your videos is how emotive you are.

[@Doris-i4x]

Another top notch & informative video from our coach Dan the man!!!!🎉

[@206onyx]

These comprehensive videos are real helpful man.

[@warffh4x827]

Thanks bro i needed this ❤

[@ababy6074]

I just got my first few pull ups! I'm so excited!

[@Doris-i4x]

Congrats!!

[@ababy6074]

@Doris-i4x thanks!

[@layaway596]

I've never seen such developed teres majors, sheeesh

[@mjarvis5186]

Always great info

[@DavidKloepperWellness]

Awesome video! I've been doing pushups daily, but I want to get a doorway pullup bar to add pulling to my calisthenics workouts. I'll probably also get some rings with them, to do inverted rows too. 💪

[@rumman553]

Better to invest in a pullup bar like we have in parks. You can do muscle ups on them as well. 1 time investement

[@pale2539]

Another Banger!

[@thomasrobertfitness]

For me, this video is pure joy! Pure knowledge 🤓

[@RejathRNID]

Needed this

[@Noiconnotag]

Perhaps you can study and make a video about the pull-ups competitions - mainly taking place in Russia as far as I know - where competitors from all ages 10-70, achieve extreme high rep counts in a row 35-80 reps. I know it sounds far-fetched but I saw a young 12 yo competitor completing +30 reps on his 1st try, and a senior of 64 yo completing +65 reps in a row. I think the winner had +75 reps. Now that is astonishing. There is also a video of some random Russian guy from ~3 years ago doing ~120 reps in a row all recorded in real time with no editing (there were people in the background playing football or something, so you can tell it is unedited real time). He was doing it with such ease, full ROM, no kipping.

[@MathewStuckey]

What a great, clear video

[@peacemaker0071]

Perfect time for my back day 😈

[@monicasterki565]

As a woman I don’t want bat wings just a thicker back 🙋‍♀️ 🇦🇺 🥰 always great content

[@florin-alexandrustanciu5643]

Never seen such shoukder definition 😮

[@R1GHTEOUS888]

This video accurate AF 👌🏿👍🏿✌🏿💯

[@johnsmith-jg2xz]

Hey Daniel , do you train your neck?

[@BambinoFilipino1]

Great video! It would help if you did a "complete guide" for each muscle group.

[@w-james9277]

I love doing barbell rows. My back feels awesome after!

[@krispbacon9474]

I was able to dial in technique for lat prayer(cable pullover) quicker than any other lat exercise. 3x20 feels awesome even with insane DOMS the next day.

[@letmefeelthevibes]

Top notch 👌

[@----john----]

Thanks for showing what can be done with the ring exercises. The rings are all I use now for my workouts. I just don't find machines motivate me to workout.

[@KaidenBail-kx5bu]

Dang i think I need a collaboration/podcast of you and that guy Jeff!

[@SpencerCreskey]

I want that demon back and mountainous upper traps

[@YRO.]

Then go get it

[@Nikoseidon]

For upper traps, I think handstand push ups are king

[@lucasgraeff5391]

how much do you want it?

[@kalterverwalter4516]

Try Bugenhagian Horsecock wing rotations. Never had sour traps before 😂

[@SpencerCreskey]

@@kalterverwalter4516 what are wing rotations? I couldn’t find anything about that?

[@j26er]

I’ve been enjoying Street Lifting lately mixed in with some other free weight movements (DL, OHP, BB Rows in particular). Best of both worlds with the main focus being heavy squats and weighted dips/pull-ups. Just haven’t got my first muscle up yet but slowly working on it.

[@Doris-i4x]

You’ll get there mate

[@rajatshandilya1203]

@2:48 Look at those shoulders....dayumnnnn

[@raul5334]

First. Hello from Brazil

[@gabrielgreff5911]

até aqui os dementes vem com essa porra de first

[@shantorialwalker6044]

13:53 I never even noticed that, but wouldn't high pull ups be better I think the act of switching from a pull movement to a push movement would mess up the flow of things and in my opinion just feels better like I'm either getting more out of my Lat's or I'm getting a better connection.

[@narutops]

6:11 i've never been so confused on where to focus my attention, but i'm not complaining 🙃

[@godxquad4143]

6:11 yk what u doin w those camera angles🥵

[@paragjadhav3669]

Hello , Sir Seeing you for the last 5-6 years your videos really helped me can I know the respective daily routine you follow and also we should follow to stay fit and young including sleep cycles type to eat food

[@RayverSuarez]

Any tips for beginners for calisthenics no equipment

[@Shredder-ug1fu]

At least inwest in resistance bands. Just progress from the easiest push up variation you Can do, same with pull ups, dont forget bout rows, pike push ups... And legs

[@RayverSuarez]

@Shredder-ug1fu thanks

[@santoryu3627]

Get a pull up bar

[@YRO.]

Get rings, they're really cheap and extremely versatile

[@dottork3662]

Buy some equip. Especially for the back. Pull up bar, rings and elastic band if you want to try skills and do some complementaty. You can use a backpack full with book or whatever for extra weight

[@Killallpingvins38]

Somehow first seconds of video remind me Great Red Dragon dude, played by Ralph Fiennes. Nice back ;d

[@willswanson2145]

What about t bar rows? T bar rows and the high row machine have been massive for my back growth.

[@andresg.a]

Hey Fitness FAQS have you tried The Inverted Deadlift? That's a killing back exercise.

[@syltaire]

lookin massive there bruv

[@Ppbtthl]

Great content as always, but my god has your physique become insane over the years

[@Doris-i4x]

It’s all that constant training & discipline over so many yrs

[@Rich-pi6jk]

Are you releasing any new programs this year?

[@goten3388]

I can never feel my back on back day. I always here pull with the elbows but that doesn't help. Would love help, how to engaged my back?

[@alucardlatino]

Daniel can you please talk about your experience with kettlebells in one of your videos? It will be really useful for many of us

[@stonecoldanders]

Daniel, what do you think of Gironda pull ups?

[@dang.erzone2688]

I tend to train my pulls and my hinges on different days of the week. Maybe I need to rethink my program structure 🤔

[@divyanand3749]

same and i think its fine hinges on leg day

[@santoryu3627]

I cant seem to load up on barbell rows or deadlifts or any hip hinge. Hell i progress fastsr on pull ups, dips and squats than i do on barbell rows.

[@ruthless7281]

i can do 13 pullups however i am struggling with chinups, just 8-9 reps.What should i do?

[@dottork3662]

Work on your biceps

[@cuongquoc0280]

I think DB pullover is superior for hypertrophy. Though it's leverage is poor, DB pullover maximises tension on the stretch position, which is superior for muscle growth

[@DarthNoshitam]

It isn't really superior for muscle growth tho...

[@cuongquoc0280]

​@@DarthNoshitam I think it is. Unlike lat prayer, it also provides stability. The only problem I found is that it hurts my shoulder when I did it for the first time

[@NRFS23]

So my question is as a beginner/intermediate how do a improve my pull ups and how should my diet be as far as what I eat each day, because I find my self not being able to do 5 pull ups or if I manage to get 5 pull ups in I’m not able to do another set of 5 pull ups. Any advice please?

[@yousef9181]

Daniel, I wonder, how is your weekly workout schedule? How do you exactly incorporate bodyweight exercises with weightlifting exercises in your workouts? I see that you are more interested in back exercises more than chest exercises when it comes to weightlifting.

[@rumman553]

He uses Push pull leg split 2x a week. He trains legs once.

[@StreetWorkouTube]

What do you think about WIDE UBDERHAND Grip? I believe that this form can be perform in Concentrated status and give shock to Back & Biceps...

[@BlackWhite-Da7lom]

Can you talk about the new studies comparing between partials and full ROM as it shows that there is no much difference in terms of hypertrophy

[@scrokostas]

A full ROM will always make you control better movements and body in everyday tasks.

[@William1683BT]

Yeah but there is a big difference in strength. Full rom is way better for strength gains.

[@altera1882]

Inverted rows💀💀💀💀 It feels biologically impossible at my level...

[@SK1LAH]

6:54 - i thought I was only person who wears watch on leg 😅

[@godxquad4143]

[@johnwashington9278]

[@heronmarked]

Can you get big by just doing weighted pull ups?

[@Dokter35]

Yes, except for your lower back. Doing a variety of exercises is better for injury prevention though.

[@heronmarked]

@ would reverse sit up or deadlift solve the lack of lower back? And thank you for your insights on this. 🦭

[@Dokter35]

@@heronmarked Some form of hip hinge is definitely recommended.

[@killako397]

I’m coming up with a minimal gym at home. Are rings or the bar better for inverted rows? or a mix of both?

[@Dokter35]

I prefer rings cause you can rotate your grip, but bar is fine as well.

[@seanking6184]

Rings You can do so many grip variations, I find neutral grip feels great!

[@Shortsworld2006]

Do any one also follow tibo 😊
