Real Body Weight Only Training

[@christopherseat9871]

Calisthenics, powerlifting, and Olympic lifts. Will does it all. ❤ this channel.

Great video. You're absolutely right that other videos on Bodyweight focus on higher rep just to pursue a pump and not necessarily to get you stronger. Quality info as always.

[@SprintTheory]

Here’s how I’d approach the challenge lower body training: -Reverse Nordic or Sissy Squat Variation (RF, VL, VM, VI) -Natural Leg Press (Hack Squat) Variation (VL, VM, VI) -Russian Belt Deadlift / Hip Extension (BFlh, SM, ST) -Nordic Hamstring Curl (BFsh, SM, GA, SA) -Sprinting Notes: -For the Natural Leg Press, intensity can be adjusted with friction, no weights needed. -Nordic Hamstring Curl intensity can easily be tweaked by changing arm position or ankle anchoring. -Single Leg Sissy Squat with support from a ring is an if Sissy Squats / Reverse Nordics are not challenging enough -I have see some perform Single Leg Sissy Squats and Single Leg Reverse Nordics however have no experience doing them

Gold. Thanks, Hoss! The only thing I'd add for Conditioning is Burpees! You add a Pull Up or Chin Up after the jump portion and you're cookin' with gasoline! Love this video. If possible, please consider dabbling with programing for combat athletes. I know your love of Olys is gonna translate here, but I'd love a single resource from you personally about the topic; even if it is just a general overview! Cheers! And, congrats on getting your garage back! 🍻

I tend to do half of these even when I'm in the gym 😂 I would add hills to runs and sprints. Sprints on steep hills, tempo on moderately steep hills - after an easy run. 😅

[@ssberg7]

I had similar thoughts on those bodyweight templates, this is exactly what people need to see when they look for “home workouts”. Great video Will!

[@michaelkarayan6652]

I legit think if I came across this video during the lockdowns in LA, I would not have gone up to 330 lbs BW from 230 in 7 or so months. Great points and examples man!

[@penumbramine]

as someone who has done both, i think sissy squats are the goated calisthenics quad movement. if you need more stability a daisy chain around the waist to a tree/pole waist-height allows for a stable, hard to cheat quad movement. you csn make it easier by having the attachement point higher up or harder by lowering it. also if i was to throw in a single piece of equipment it would be a strongman style sandbag. i got my 200lbs one for like $80 and its tolerating being overfilled to like 230something like a champ

[@JohanLo-b8h]

Thanks so much for the video! Won’t be able to consistently hit gym for a while, but want to continue developing athleticism and maintain strength for a bit. Extremely helpful

[@MrMultifunc]

Great exercises! For chest progression I would add 1 arm push ups. I did these with a backpack full of small Dumbells and water bottles during lockdown and my bench press went UP when I was able to return to the gym. For Legs. Deep stretch plyometric Bulgarian split squats with whatever weights you can find. Dangerous Leg training: Car Push up hill. If you have a training partner to sit in the car then perfect. But during lockdown I would go to a hill by myself and push my car up hill. It was sketchy at times but a true leg burner

[@Ricky-Noll]

Love the video! I like hollow and arch body holds and rocks, hanging leg lifts and V-ups, windshield wipers and side bends, arch ups and reverse leg lifts, and body levers too.

[@Wolf-g7j8r]

I speak for many when I say that I would love to here your thoughs on K boges training style.

[@Tom-ph8mg]

Yes!

[@jasonashley4579]

Learned calisthenics routines the hard way, troubled youth in a 6x8 concrete room, still do them daily at 44 years old, stay riot ready folks.

[@etimezz]

great advice for travel

[@David-pv4su]

Thoughts on k boges?

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Neck training and core work are also pretty easy to do with just bodyweight. Neck bridges can be scaled doing isometrics for time and increasing the lever length. Two legs extended concentric dragon flags are rediculously hard and the human flag can be scaled in duration and by extending the legs more and by abducting and adducting the upper legs.

[@matthiasneuwirth7777]

Will strongest and smartest man. He and Blaine are the biggest rolemodels in the sport and fitnessscene🔥

[@casperthegst]

during covid I did a body weight routine and a ton of plyos. slow tempo calisthenics and a ton of plyos is how you can maintain at least some neurological adaptations

[@UchihaAmruh]

Deficit pushups slow eccentric with a pause at the bottom. Elevated shrimps to progress on the quads even more. Single leg hip thrusts can be done for really high volume. (Something like 10x10 each leg) I feel like mainly lower back and just hinging in general is the only thing that would really have to suffer. This was basically my routine during COVID but bought some kettlebells to supplement eventually.

[@klilbenz8958]

THANK YOU, I've been waiting for a video like this, for this next year I probably won't have access to a gym and, as you said, most of the videos about body weight training are just straight up filler

[@matthewtang9067]

are 1 arm push ups viable too?

[@willratelle8027]

Absolutely

[@pokemonfan9894]

So true I remember before covid, I used to do one or two Pistol Squats for skills/fun. During Covid I progressed it such that I did Tempo Paused Pistol Squats for 8-10 Reps

[@snaker9873]

Will, ever thought about trying a Strongman competition?

[@pras1106]

@kboges has decent info on training & building muscle with calisthenics. He isn't big like Will, and doesn't look jacked when he has a shirt, but has a great physique built using high-rep pushup/pullup/squat program that he does daily. His contention is that these regular exercises have a lot more to give than what's normally thought of. A regular pushup made hard with deficit mode, with super slow (or fast) tempo. Squats made hade with super high reps (500!).. pullups - paused reps with great attention to form. etc

[@369truth]

So, no excuses not to train :)

[@Uwyrlsjsval7291y3ip]

Thank you Sir ❤

[@imitatsiya]

what are your thoughts on weight calisthenics with chain belts or weight vests?

[@lemmiwinks48]

Great video

[@cheeks7050]

Skater squats are harder than pistols

[@stud_end123]

No

[@cheeks7050]

@@stud_end123 yes

[@Vulgrammar]

split squat extreme isometrics didn't make the cut? What do you think about them?

[@Samalam-p9k]

I only have dumbells can I still do Olympic lifts

[@Jdm5299]

Ring muscle-ups are the goat.

[@thegamer-ot4gh]

my gym closed for the christmas break (campus gym) and i ordered some resistance bands to see if i could get some loading done at home but trying to find any info about what to do online just made me mad as hell

[@דניאלחמד]

Is that optimal to do leg workut like a body buillder style for hyperthropy and doinig in adittion to this sprints plyos , jump session and i will can increase my vert? ,my question is if it ok instead doinig strength traininig train like a body buillder becuse im dont wana lift as much hevy becuse the high risk of injury and im prefer doinig more high(8-13) reps and control the wiegth rather then low rep range

[@Fpilepic20]

Hello Will, you are great and I can say I found somebody who I agree with at 99% of training philosophy.. keep up the good work I am looking forward to more knowledge from you ! I see you love basketball and you play often so you know what strength training means for sports first hand so I would like to ask you how would you train somebody like Victor Wembanyama who is extremly tall but very thin.. He is amazing potential but most of his game is shooting 3s just because He is to weak and center of his mass is so high to get in the paint and dominate inside for real. As a basketball player I think that He is going in wrong direction and will not fulfill his full potential without gaining significant amount of body mass and strength I can bet strength training is not what they are doing with him (or anybody else) in nba so hearing your thoughts on this and what kind of a program would you do with once in a lifetime talent like him would be pretty cool ! Thanks in advance

[@tijnvankuijen8892]

What about crawling

[@africanjunglesafari]

How would you suggest introducing plyos and sprints to help reach my first dunk at 31?
