I am 70 yrs. old, I am always been a guy who loved to pump Iron, with a goal of hypertrophic gains. After viewing your videos I am focusing more on calisthenic strength exercises and becoming more lean. I do intermittent fasting and eat better, cutting out a lot of sugars and carbs. I have went from 200lbs to 192lbs, Now I love doing calisthenics, and hope to one day perform planche moves. I have a long way to go but you have made me realize the importance of progression. Thank you and keep those videos coming.

Hey Hampton, I'm really enjoying your videos, you are a really nice person/personality.

So thanks brother, much love

It's nice how you include many variations of exercises. I have several injuries and can no longer lift weights, and most exercises, but with the variations in this video and your other ones, I can find many I can do. Your free fitness routine is awesome and inspiring.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you & your videos. I have been into fitness & maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the vast majority of my adult life but four years ago, due to autoimmune issues, I had to have a full liver transplant. Three years ago, a pancreatic reconstruction (Puestow Procedure). This past November, I had a pain pump implanted. Finally about six months ago I was able to start back with an exercise routine. Your videos have been instrumental in helping me safely work back up to where I was once was (or hopefully at least close). It’s definitely a journey & sometimes I feel frustrated that I’m not bouncing back as quickly as I was once able to but your positivity & encouragement have been so helpful. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made such a positive impact in my life & I appreciate you very much 💚💙

I’d suggest working on hamstring flexibility as well as it incredibly helped me improve my L-sit form.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

I used to put weights on my feet, so I could also reach out while I had my feet raised. The weight will help balance out your center. I used to bring my knees up as I reached my hands forward to crunch my abs. I would straighten back out keeping my feet raised and my body in a V, and when you are raising your legs straight up and lifting your hips and reaching your hands towards your feet, I learned those as superman's. I learned it from a video I bought 18 years ago or somethin, called Ab Blasters; there was 10 exercises; each had 20 reps; 200 reps in all; all centered around the abs; it took me a couple months to get to where I could do them all. The superman's were the toughest, but there were leg lifts as well as bicycles and leg lifts that would go into what you call a jackknife and back down trying to lift your hips with your arms out beside you to hold yourself steady as your legs and hips go above your head if that makes any sense to anyone. It was a great routine for the abs and sides. Using your body weight for exercises can be some of the most healthy exercises! Muscles take up to 72 hours to heal, so that should always be taken into consideration when you are trying to build strength and stamina. There is such a thing as over training just as you can under train, and I think that is the point he tries to make in his videos. If you do too much and don't give your muscles and ligaments enough time to heal, you wont progress. If you go too long, then you will lose some of what you gain and never reach your goal to progress up and become stronger. I'm 56, and I grew up in school when they done all this in gym, and gym was a mandatory class and a choice. If you haven't ever worked out or it's been years since you worked out; ease into it; if you just go all out, you'll be sore fore 2 weeks and this will discourage many! start out with one or 2 sets and a few reps. Don't do that muscle group for another 3 days and then go back at it. You have to go by certain laws or rules that govern your body or you wont succeed! Don't go by what you feel and do more or you will regret it. Do a little and you're a little sore 2 days later (that's always the worst of the recovery time) and the 3rd day, you're ready to go back at it, and take it easy like that for at least a week. Don't let your feelings decide how much you do and how to do it or you will regret it. Hope this info helps someone. You want to get heathy, not hurt yourself or over do it and end up discouraging yourself!

Hey Hampton, thank you for your nice content again, that has changed my life the last 6 month. My strength and endurance and body shape has grown a lot during that time.

Quick question, I'm tall and have always found it difficult to fully extend my legs for a proper leg raise (not sure if the two are related), any stretches/exercises you recommend to help here? Another incredible and socially inspiring video from my exercise best friend!

[@jameswilkes451]

It could be you have tight hamstrings and/or hip flexors. To start with you could do forward bends, good mornings, or seated hamstring stretches for the hams; and for the hips, bring one leg at a time up towards the chest while lying down and clasp it in. Another good one for the hips is the mountain climber stretch or the one where you have your back knee on the floor, with your torso bolt upwards. Look these up for more info brotha. One more thing, you could potentially even have tight glutes or even lower back. Think of it like a chain running down from your neck to your ankles. Hence why it's a good idea to stretch the whole body and posterior chain as much as you can. For this the forward bend is good too for the back especially, but you can stretch the glutes with a pigeon pose stretch, a deep or assisted deep squat (as deep as you can go), as well as massaging them with a foam ball, sports ball or with your knuckles/fingertips. Hot baths or saunas do wonders on the muscle tightness too. Most of all remember to relax! Inner tension translates to tension in the body. Exercise can often be stressful, especially subconsciously, so try to remember this fact and take some deep breaths, aknowledge any negative thoughts about your progress or your life, and try to focus on the movement.

[@Drewsph100]

You should make more life coach type of videos, not just callisthenics. If you're looking for calisthenic ideas then I would like to hear more about different possible workout routines for certain types of looks / aesthetics. Like a big back, defined abs or big forearms. I know you've touched on these with individual videos, but I would like it all in one.
