Sadly, many people just want big muscles, sacrificing anything else, including health. I suscribed to your channel when you were pretty small, I'm glad it's growing. An integral and holistic approach to fitness is much needed.

[@halimawsatower4097]

True that! Power to weight ratio really matters, when I started climbing my weight is about 115kg - 122kg with just covering 15 meters really is tiring for me. Then shredded down to 90kg I don't even rest on the landing before going to my supposed area to work. As always very informative topics given to us freely, thank you for that. Keep it up!!

[@Skoopyghost]

I am currently 94 kg at 192 cm at height with some loose skin. I think it might go away. I don't know how I was 134 kg for so many years.

Man, I wish there were more fitness influencers like you! You're a technical subject matter expert that makes fun and interesting videos. You're not like these influencers that just spout junk information without any analysis. And when getting into fitness, it puts the viewers inside a maze of knowledge with no way towards the end, whereas your videos paints the path for us. Keep up the good work! I'm prepping for military basic training here in the US and the Army's combat fitness test is a killer... speaking of which, you should try it out!

[@Siscon92]

Fitness is a maze with many exits. You choose your own, depending on your goals

[@FitAfter50]

Being an ex-triathlete power to weight is all that mattered. For example my biking goal was 4.2watts/kg. That was the gold standard to qualify for Kona Ironman. Good power to weight is what is needed for overall health. Being in my 50s now health is my main goal and fitness is just a perk. Power to weight is the key here. I am not super strong. Bench 90kg, deadlift 170kg and squat 110kg. I also run a sub 6 minute mile. Working on getting a little stronger without injury. Also, mobility, not that's a tough one for me. Nice video us usual.

[@MrPrimitiveman]

Just finished watching “unlimited “ with Chris Hemsworth and it was really good however I would love to see Netflix get behind Adam with a good budget so he could put out his own show “Super-functional!” That would be absolutely awesome!!

[@yercules]

Thank you for explaining the difference of strength/power to weight ratio. Recently I got into climbing and bouldering. I'm aiming to pair that with parkour and the occasional hoops pickup game. And I'm 6'2 around 200 pounds so I need to cut down the fat, then increase both ratios according to my goals. Will you consider doing a new top10 exercise video about this topic?

[@DRTTTT]

I appreciate your content bioneer.

[@shashwatanand9028]

This topic of this video is exactly the the thing I have been thinking about nowadays. Thank you for discussing this. I feel like it isnt spoken about as it should. Thank you also for distinguishing between strength and power to weight ratios!

[@LernGuru]

Superfunctional Training meets superfunctional camera! I loved it. No bullshit second camera angle of You while You speak to the audience. This second angle holds no function for the viewer whatsoever but has become more and more a distasteful fashion in recent years and more in recent months. It is not only anoying but forced me to use many videos - also some of Yours - as podcasts rather than look at them. This video here however is a perfect mix of a- and b-roll. You hid most of the jump cuts by jumping or rolling into a new a-roll position. Excellent. A pleasure for the eye, the soul and the interested fitness fan inside of me. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. ❤

[@wesleyangel777]

By the way, the thumbnail is awesome! It reminds me of the classic body types examples. Plus, it's a great, symbolic example of your hybrid approach to fitness.

[@mossyslopes]

Loving the energy you are putting out there. 👊😃Would love to see you take a 'Mr. Joe Average" and train him (or her but I suspect the former would be more popular with viewers). A side project for the channel ...something closer to your average viewer in physique/body composition rather than your amazing but unattainable level * in the short to medium term at least. It would be an interesting journey. Yes, I have seen a channel or two do something similar...but what you offer is unique. Might push viewership & subscriptions into the rarefied million+ zone.

[@WilliamMcAlpine777]

Hey Adam, I hope this message finds you well. I couldn't wait to share my experience after giving your incredible Functional Fitness program a shot. As someone constantly seeking ways to enhance my performance, I was eager to embark on this journey with your guidance. My first workout session blasted me - the combination of exercises, intensity, and well-thought-out routines left me both exhausted and invigorated. Used my body in ways I wasn't getting from weights alone. Kudos to you for crafting a program that not only challenges the physical limits but also keeps things engaging and motivating. Your dedication to functional fitness clearly shines through, and it's evident that every aspect of the program has been meticulously designed. I can't wait to continue this journey with your guidance and see how far I can progress. Looking forward to more of your videos and the inspiration they bring! Thank you for helping me push myself and discover new dimensions of fitness.

[@lucajustluca8257]

Again asking (for the algo and) for a video on adrenaline! Knowing if you can improve sensitivity, or even learn jow to use it for sudden bursts of power!

[@miquelbech5580]

There really is too little content on training goals and modalities not related to aesthetics/hypertrophy. As always, you help bring a bit of balance to the fitness KZbin scene. I'm still trying to build the basic strength, but while I want to be balanced, my goal is definitely more grasshopper than ant. So once the strength is good, I'll be switching more of my efforts to power training. Perhaps you could talk a bit more about how to train for power. The general consensus is low reps with moderate weight, but sometimes I wonder if it would be better to do more reps to get some endurance in the mix as well.

[@luxurybuzz3681]

Force = mass × acceleration The bigger an object is and the faster it goes the more force it produces. Heavy weights at a high speed = power Olympic weightlifting and plyometrics work power.

01:05 When you do a roll (backwards/forwards), you must do it over your shoulders, then it also doesn't hurt. Not the neck. A grown human can brake his neck by rolling over it. But it's okay for children. Search for Jiu-jitsu basic rolls.

(How do you Brits drop the accent seemingly so easy!) You will most def reach a million subs...I'm guesstimating sometime towards the end of 2024. One of my all time fave bodybuilders Franco Columbu was and probably still is to this day the strongest pound for pound of any bodybuilder. here's a guy who is like 1/2 the size of Ronnie Coleman and using basically the same poundages when he trained. that kind of thing is ultra inspiring! OK I am rambling here but thanks again for such a great, informative, and FUN channel!

[@jtucker4462]

Definitely will get that million subs - Adam's one of a kind. Though I'd wager it'll be spring / summer time. It's been encouraging seeing all the growth over the past few years. The library of content that has been covered has transformed how I train, made me get a lot more adaptable - dabbling and questioning in both orthodox and unorthodox training modalities. The fact the number of subs continues to accumulate in increasing amount (from what I can see), is a sign that what Adam is putting out is spreading to the wider communities. I often go to past videos on this channel to explore fitness/health topics with friends, and fortunately it's been very helpful to persuade them to pursue more of a (super) functional fitness - rather than focus on simply getting bigger and leaner. Now that's just between me (a regular viewer) and a couple friends. How many more will find a use in Adam's work? I don't know but I'm definitely enjoying the show🍿:)

Adam your content is pure gold. I’m recovering from a ruptured appendix and sepsis, and I’ve had to entirely rethink my training.

[@protect-free-speech]

Thanks for another great video Adam. I know you like to try new things so here's a suggestion for you... I've noticed that you've mentioned injuries and aches and pains more than a few times in your recent videos. My challenge is that you try whole food plant based oil free eating for 1 month. I'm 58 years old and since I switched my aches and pains have all but disappeared, my strength and VO2 max have increased and my body fat is down to 14%. If you are worried about becoming weak watch Frank Medrano, and if you want good recipes try Simnett Nutrition. I know we are all different and it may not work for you, but I know that if you try it you will be honest with your feedback. Good luck...

[@hippystyle6551]

You should include some sources. I love a good meta-analysis!

[@ivoryas1696]

Legit just started a "bulk" of sorts and this video comes out lol. I plan on training strength until the track season, and then training power during the spring and stuff. Fortunately for me, I don't put on weight _too_ easily, and I have a calisthenics base with _only *very* (the last few days in execution, only the last few weeks in accesability) recently being able to lift heavy weights. That and I never really wanted to be big enough to slow down too much, prefering to be more interdisciplinarian (protean as he says). Obviously, though, I'm not saying this video isn't helpful or even that I won't try to implement soon! This channel is one of ny fitness faves, afterall. And if anything this should help with the cut! On an unrelated note, I forgot how accents change when you sing lol.

[@teefreund8592]

Hello Bioneer, I really enjoying your videos you are huge inspiration. I was living a very unhealthy lifestyle in my early 20s which almost caused my death. I changed everything and comitted to my sport. Now i am 31 and i am diagnosed with ac arthrosis, and i am in pain everyday i stretch much but many excercises are not possible right now. Do you maybe have some good tips for people like me ?

[@icarus675]

Grasshoppers ARE able to lift absurd multiples of their weight. The reason why is scaling laws. Muscle strength scales with the square of size (ie area of muscle), while mass scales with the cube of size (ie muscle volume). So when look at animal of increasing size, weight increases much faster than the ability to move that weight. This is why insects get away with very lean members as compared to human, and can carry much higher weight in proportion to their weight.

[@soul_bolt]

So, either use a lot of weight for short reps, use immovable objects as ,,weights,,. Do excersise with speed. Do wanted move more thoroughly. Correct?

[@glideamerica]

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Having big legs is harder for calisthenics though haha, way harder to planche etc cos they literally weigh more than someone who has never hit legs in their life. I train full body and am trying to unlock parallel bar planche but can't even hold a tucked planche yet haha
