Just had to let you know how much I enjoy your vids.I do adjust everything you say to my age and fitness level. I'm 65 yr old female...thats right..65 and I walk 3 miles Mon-Fri, resting Sat-Sun. You have inspired me to add another activity, like swimming, to my routine. Keep up the good work! This Senior is cheering for you! Your never too old to be the best version of yourself.

[@Jordanthecool7]

I agree with what you said at the beginning, I also feel like fighters and athletes have better physiques than body builders

[@bluesuit460]

Ur videos are like tailored for me lol. I’ve been training jiu jitsu and muay thai for 3 years and half and i love the minimalist apporoach, not too mentally draining and does the job.

[@ArhanBhat-gl7cf]

used to do a upper lower split, switched to your minimalist split and I can genuinely I enjoy workouts so much more now. thanks for making the stuff free, it’s extremely helpful for the guys who don’t wanna pay. Respect.

[@SkipYearSix]

Love these videos. Going through hard times with a chronic eye disease for 2 years. Hope to get back to training and chasing goals. It’s just survive at the moment.

[@nilavasarkar5072]

Wanhee took fitness videos to a different level....and these videos are really adding explosive values in our regular fitness journey . Thank You So Much Wanhee .

[@iangrant3615]

Good video, thank you! Picked up some interesting ideas on this one. I am using my gym training to help my fitness/mobility when playing badminton, and I'm using badminton to help my resilience and quicker explosive movements at the gym! Badminton is not a tough sport like the ones you mentioned, but the principles you mention definitely still apply I think :)

[@IanM289]

Thank you so much sir!❤

[@chaitanyabhargava7603]

Amazing value loaded video!

[@vanaraen3474]

Finally, someone that talks about tendons, ligament + mobility. I love ur videos as they are holistic; integrating both mindset and taking mental energy into consideration. I was thinking about athletism when i came across this video of urs. I was a gym bro few years back n now getting back in shape. 1 thing i noticed from training in the gym last time was the absence of these key things. Kudos! Ur point on the importance of replenishing during weight plateau also helps me very much. I hit it recently after 2 weeks on restricting my diet. So on that day i enjoy the food that i used to love to replenish my mental energy and my body cravings. Now im back to the game again and have lose some weight 😄I’m an Asian too and you’re an inspiration to me 💪🏻🔥

[@wolki8145]

Hey Wanshee, I realy apprechiate your work. I cant wait until You Release the Gym free routine. Because i cant train in a gym.

[@kristinasecret1767]

Wanhee!! Love your vids

[@trial6226]

I play soccer but also wanted to build a physique like other players such as Neymar(pre injury), Mbappe, and others. Thanks for sharing the info Wanhee!

[@gphanisrinivasful]

"...who has swapped his personality for protein shake" 🤣🤣 amazing video as always Wanhee. You save the best advice for the last, very important to rest and take it easy. Not only taking breaks, but also doing deload weeks helps, once every few weeks when you are still training, but not doing as much volume or going all in. Those weeks can also be used to work exclusively on mobility and stability as well.

[@user-hh9il5pq1w]

Thank you, no bs video as always P.s. I thought it would be a merch advertisement lol

[@xLuxors]

Watched this video, went to the gym with the mission to train explosively and with negatives this time. It is SO much harder bro LOL love the challenge, I feel weaker in a good way!

[@channers625]

Agree with everything you said here

[@thisisareminder3315]

Wanhee~ the gym from my place is 30 mins away driving by car. Can you please provide more videos on exercising at home possibly even without any tool/instruments? I only have a yog a mat , 2 5kg dumbbell and a dip bar.

Finally!

[@countryboi.]

Hey I’m just watched your skinny fat to chiseled video, I’ve been working out for about a year and have put on 40 pounds, almost all muscle, but have put on fat too, to the point where I’ve almost developed small love handles and I can barely see my abs. I’m still not muscular enough to look big with a shirt on. Do I cut for a few weeks to get rid of the fat, or do I bulk until I have significantly more muscle?

[@KAMIKAZIkilinem]

Does jujitsu after the gym days help with lactic acid build up?

[@bensonvong]

I think this is more an all around athletic type weight training/tactical barbell, etc more than hybrid athlete. At least in terms of the current usage. Hybrid athlete (which I think is a gimmicky term) currently refers to people who train for heavy lifts + endurance. These are usually opposites in terms of training regiments (strength training vs cardio). It could be people trying to deadlift 450 while running a sub 3 marathon, etc.

[@sillybobby5189]

Doing hybrid training is fine and great if you enjoy it, but I don't think there's anything wrong with doing weight training for strength of hypertrophy alone. Most of the skills (namely, strength and balance) are domain specific: while practicing split squats may be better for cycling than a barbell back-squat squat, it certainly doesn't map better on to the demands of a high-jump athlete. While hybrid training is great and having varied athletic interests can be good for you, this video gives the impression of looking down upon people interested in just weight training alone. If you enjoy weight training routines, do that; if you enjoy hybrid training, do that. One form of training isn't inherently better than the other for everyone, its all about the individual's specific training goals.

[@randomvidz8742]

This video is for hybrid training alone so your points are invalid as he didn't say anything negative about weight lifting.

[@sillybobby5189]

@@randomvidz8742 I agree, I shouldn't have said weightlifting generally, I just thought that weight training the type of training he was criticizing when he used the term "typical gym bro" (0:20 0:26 0:44 1:20 2:30), but I may be wrong on that. I think my other point is that he prescribes a lot of 'rules' for hybrid training; however, i don't think there is a one size fits all hybrid training routine. One's hybrid training should be optimize for the combination of activities they hope to improve in. Speaking to his point on the split squat (3:22) and other unilateral exercises, unilateral movements don't always translate better to other sports, it only translates to other sports that emphasize unilateral movements. Someone who wants to train for a sport which does not emphasize unilateral movements (e.g. the high jump) should not use unilateral training.

[@shomgerry]

I'd replace Zlatan's picture with Ronaldo... that's the perfect hybrid athlete

[@brenonicoletti6297]

hey bro, I did not get the routine on my email inbox. could you check if the bot is still sending those? Thank you in advance and keep up the great work ;)

[@kodyj4893]

Do you do explosive, negative and pause reps on different days, or do you do all three in one gym session?

[@randomvidz8742]

Do what you want brother. It'll still produce the same results

Stop cold turkey.

[@muhammadshehryar3344]

Get a vape alternative, smoking also tends to be an oral fixation, so chew gum, get Nicorette or patches, and then go full cold turkey. That’s what worked for me, now even the smell of Cigarettes makes my stomach turn

[@mad_spirit2208]

I don't get it. You started talking about joints, ligaments and tendons and then you list muscles.

Do you still drink coffee?

[@THFINALFANTASYLEGEND]

The messages in the video are great but you make a few assumptions and lean into gymbro stereotypes. Maybe just maybe some people want to gym to build muscle. Sounds and looks like your a low intermediate lifter who got stuck. Not everyone who goes gym are “stiff and immobile”. You can talk about dynamic movements as better and gym bro fixed movements are bad! But you know the goal of bodybuilding is building muscle right? Why would someone who wants to primarily build muscle actively train in ways where coordination and cardio endurance is a major factor over the muscle your trying to target. If you try to do everything good you’ll do nothing great

[@michaelogbole7369]

I think everyone would like your experience and a constructive critic of gym goers and not “you should do these” mandates. Skipped.

[@raulgarcia8627]

So you function on both gas and electricity huh Sounds interesting 🤔

This is not a hybrid athlete. 😂 study the meaning of hybrid athlete first 😂

hybrid athlete = i have a mid physique

You may not look as aesthetic, but you would hopefully have a very good base level of fitness and still look better than a lot of “normal people” up to you though what you want 🤷‍♂️

[@RockinDaBoombox]

An athletic build is the most attractive body type. Period. Muscular is not attractive and the only ones that do find it attractive are the ones lifting. If it makes you feel good and *you* like it, that’s all that matters. I have no interest in being muscular. I’ll take an athletic body any day of the week. To each their own.

[@shek7403]

You’re crazy lol. As someone who’s been lifting for 13 years and transferred over to muy Thai. This stuff is very essential. You can have show muscles don’t mean nothing if you can’t utilize them
