You Have To Train (Every Day)

Learn more about building muscle with bodyweight exercises at www.reddeltaproject.com
Training should be just as much a priority as eating and sleeping. This is why I train my body weight exercise daily, just as much as I eat and sleep.
Of course not all of my workouts are super intense but not a day goes by without some sort of mentally focused activity.

OK brother, I've watched several of your videos now. sounds like you're preaching good stuff, and you're likeable. I'll subscribe.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Welcome Jeff and let me know if you would like me to address anything special.

[@intellectualninjamonkey2496]

This is an amazing message. People think that "train everyday" means to go the gym and crush your PRs in grinding sets. Lately I made sure that even if I do not have time to go to the gym or energy to crush PRs, I will invest some time in doing shadow boxing, push ups, bodyweight squats and crunches in my living room. Even 20 minutes are enough if you really go at it with intention. Although not my regular program these simple bodyweight exercises are a thousand times better than nothing and helped me with recuperation,mood, concetration , sleep, energy levels and ironically to indeed crush PRs when I finally go to the gym for barbell training.

[@RedDeltaProject]

hit the nail right on the head there Ninjamonkey. Training isn't about stressing yourself to the max, or even moderately all the time. Even stretching or deep breathing is also a form of training

[@TheStuokis]

All you had to do is follow the damn TRAIN Cj

[@kyonas6047]

🤣🔪Wtf?

56 now, been stretching daily since I was 15, its a must for mobility

[@jakjak789]

Love the message! Recently, I've been diving back into your content. Starting off the new year with a bang after some health issues this past year. A few years back I followed some of your advice and programming and it was probably the strongest I had ever been. Incredibly, it did not take that long either. Getting back to it! Thanks again for all that you do.

[@deanherde805]

Haven't been this impressed with training videos and information in a long time.

[@Andre-pc8ot]

You gotta love this dude's drive and dedication. I definitely agree with the idea that doing something everyday that is in line with training is valuable and not emphasized enough.

[@azuniga2005]

Thank you for all your advices!

True. It is more about building momentum, chaining the habit days in days out. You literally helped me to uncover a lot of training myths so thanks a lot man.

You are so right. It should have the same priority as eating and sleeping. Great video. Given me something to think about

[@stevenkapsalis988]

You are right on. The only time I was in good condition was when in the military and trained 6 days a week. And couple times when younger and motivated to work out almost daily except due to illness. The short workouts are pretty much off days anyway.

[@victormanuelpolanco922]

Matt, agree!!!!. Hitting different muscle groups, working other aspects of your fitness system,..., it's all training and it must be addressed conveniently and consistently. No margin for excuses. Not to mention the importance training has as a means to subdue mental or stressful issues each and everyone one of us have on a daily basis. You, me, everyone, WE HAVE TO TRAIN!!!!.

[@Keepit100Dre]

I work out Monday through Friday and take a break and Saturdays and Sundays. I use weekends to recover

[@MikeRyu]

I have been applying an every day mentality this year just because I often don't like days with no exercise and there's more opportunity to practice the things I like to. Although I did miss days over the weekend I tried to make up for it with a double day yesterday. I'm reading through your train chaining PDF and it's really good stuff. Thanks Matt!

[@offthechainfitness]

I agree workout everyday to keep momentum,on the days I need to chill I practice handstands,front lever or learn a complicated move exercise or have a burpee session or attack the Abs or work the calves...there is always something to attend...

Hi Matt // great channel. / I always watching @marcus

[@juanprc10]

Hi Matt, I'm subscribed to your website's newsletter and I received an email a few weeks ago about how important it is to train to failure and muscle fatigue for muscle growth. Could you make a video expanding on this topic? I'm guessing that if I train as hard as possible, training daily wouldn't be the best idea? Unless alternating hard vs "easy" days, such as skill work, mobility, stretching? Great video here by the way and keep it up.

[@mlunacantu]

(RedDeltaProject) ,, haha Loved your Video...im serious seen plenty of videos, that basically say you can't train everyday due to your muscle needing rest, or injuries can occur, Etc.... really like your video cause thats exactly how I've always thought if you can train everyday why not as long as its not power lifting hitting it hard, over doing it everyday, and of course getting your 7 to 8hrs of sleep a day, and eating Healthy.....i train hard, and hit it heavy hard some days with light cardio workouts in between. Gave your Vid a Like....Thanks Man

[@saumitragautam8333]

The greatest example of training daily , with bodyweight , and heavy and intense at that -Herschel Walker. The guy is unbelievable. 1500 push ups daily , 1000 weighted squats , 1200+ pull ups - the guy is amazing. And to top it all , he is mostly a vegetarian and eats just one meal a day and fasts on others . How I so strongly wish that I could be like him. Someday , for sure.

[@tomashorst9544]

That is quite possibly the WORST example of daily training. That's just a pure waste of time and if you can do that many reps are you even gaining anything out of it?

[@tomashorst9544]

[@chicagolandveteranscommandpost]

I’m 58, I work at the post office as a mailman, lots of OT but I try and get push ups or pull-ups, variations of them in every day. For me, if I skip a day, then I may skip two. Then , I feel bad. I have a green and red marker and I mark my kitchen calendar every day; green X means I train, red means I wimped out. And it hangs in my kitchen for all to see.

It is indeed easy to forget to modify ones training when times are most difficult OR to keep training when sleep and/or eating is noticeably interrupted. I Definately need to remember the former as I am overcoming the latter...

Love your videos Matt! It's a shame all these other people doing flashy and promotional videos get so much hype, whereas someone who focuses on SOLID, CORE FUNDAMENTALS, and things that actually make a buttload of sense, are sustainable and wholesome; doesn't get the traction that it deserves.

[@paulbruce5414]

Hey, Matt. This is a great video! Thanks for clarifying that idea of training daily by varying intensity and activity. And just received your "Train Your Chain" PDF, it's fantastic, thank you so much! The picture of you doing a side plank with your feet against a wall single-handedly changed my life, and, of course, the rest is absolutely brilliant. Really helpful tips for when you can't get certain phasic muscles to activate (rear delts, anybody?). A few months ago (maybe back in the summer), you made a video about elevation masks, the hype and whether or not you recommend it, and some similar videos regarding stretching modalities. It would be GREAT if you could do a similar video regarding foam rolling. Some find it very important, some think it's a waste of time. Some do it every day, pre-workout, post-workout, in the evening, in the morning, not at all... Do you do self myofascial release (i.e., foam rolling), and do you recommend it to your students? Thanks, Sensei!

[@lexbeltran1354]

It all depends on how old you are, amount of weight, intensity, recovery factors, etc. Of course you can't train heavy everyday. Running around the track or brisk walks can be done everyday.

I like this approach better than complete off days where you do nothing but sit on the computer all day. I usually hit the Gym twice a week having a heavy day and light day then martial arts twice a week then on some other days i focus on calisthenics and martial arts techniques (shadow boxing and kicking drills.)

[@RedDeltaProject]

Thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@CaronDriel]

Stretch once a day (minimum), do abs everyday, and do 10 minutes of cardio everyday. Strength training should follow a different set of rules depending on what you're doing. Bodybuilding: Every day, splitting body parts up. Strongman: 2-4 days of training a week. Powerlifting:... I don't know, I don't know much about powerlifting. Probably the same as Strongman. Crossfit: 3-7 times a week, dependent on what type of Crossfit training you're doing. Bodyweight: Depends. Bodyweight training can fall into any category based on how you're doing it. The heavier and more intense you go, the more rest you need. Especially if you're doing compound movements.

[@DaveKrzeminski]

I disagree respectably. Days off would depend on how you train. You can get away with calisthenics daily but heavy lifting requires time off.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Yes, some forms of training require time off, I was thinking of training in general not specifically always training hard.

[@DaveKrzeminski]

RedDeltaProject so I made that comment after maybe 2 of your videos. I have now watched a bunch of your videos and subscribed. I am a trainer myself and appreciate your approach on the subject. You speak on topics in a way the average person comprehends. Little science without being too bro about it. What I'm trying to say is, nice work!

[@guru77771]

Jack Lalanne exercised daily and lived a long heathy life.

[@RustyIsScared]

both yes and no. i have now done paused atg squats at 90% up to 100 every day, yes 7 days a week, some days even 2 times a day for 3 months now and ive goten insain progress from it. only issue is cns breakdown. exept that training heavy every day doesnt require days off unless you go 100% every day for a few years. i have lifted now for 2 years and i do lift heavy every damn day.

[@chayoto]

Is it acceptable, for instance, to practice a given move (say an L-sit or crow pose) on "rest" days?

[@colinv7790]

To the guys telling you can't train everyday....you can train everyday if you split bodyparts or do full body mo/we/fr and do cardio or ab work on the other days. I do full body 3x a week, 2 times a week HITT and sometimes just tricking in the weekend

[@cipher4968]

GOOD MOTIVATION, YES I GET MONEY EVRYDAY. If you are broke, if you have some problem at work, if you are injured... you have to train.

[@lavon4111]

Great video Matt! I recently switched to shorter workouts EVERYDAY. I've been getting better results and I'm never burnt out. I was wondering if it really matters whether we do full body vs split workouts. I prefer full body but I know if I did splits, my workouts would be even shorter and more focused. Just afraid that splits might cause muscle imbalance. What do you think? Thanks.

[@AllNaturalbaseball]

I like full body workouts, but I recently switched up to an A/B workout split and I like it; I do - A: Pulling/legs, B:Pushing/Core. Then I alternate workouts throughout the week. If you do a split, you shouldn't get imbalances as long as you are giving each muscle the same attention/frequency and focusing on technique for each one. The key is the frequency, if you train a certain muscle group less per week then you would create an imbalance, so keep your split/workouts balanced.

[@rickcoyote5503]

That's kind of what I was doing, but just twice a week. I went to a split that covered the whole body over a 3 day period, then 1 day to rest, then just starts repeating that pattern. I do a total body mini workout 7 days a week too, first thing in the morning. Your idea about focus and intensity is what drove me to make that change, and the results have been very good. Now, this comes to you a year and a half after your comment, and I'm sure you're big as a house by now... Shine on. :)

[@seansartor]

Don’t fight it. He’s RIGHT! Biologically humans have NOT changed much since their Hunting & Gathering days. And YES Hunting & Gathering was physically demanding daily, hence it was daily “training”. Ignoring our primal biology makes US obese. Hunting at the supermarket via a car and gathering at a desk all day has decreased our physical prowess. To combat these comforts, we were designed to exercise daily to survive.

[@smegal196]

Great video, I do body weight exercises and triathlon training together. Sometimes I am training twice a day or once a day. Perhaps in a rare week, there will be one complete rest day. It is doing wonders for me and so far, touch wood, no injuries given the variety.

[@MrCdrant]

I think this video is more about staying in the mindset of a training environment and maintaining goals, than getting into the gym every day. A rest day should be programmed into the schedule intelligently, and designed to help the body recover. Aerobic recovery work or mobility training is every bit as important as those heavy days that your CNS just cannot handle all the time.

[@RedDeltaProject]

You're right. I've always looked at gym training as only a small part of a total workout plan.

[@leoawgowhat4383]

Everyday!!!!

[@thefish4340]

I'll train sick. but I won't train if I have serious deadlines. it's not about making excuses, I hate excuses, but without that job that sleep, that eating, that lifting can all come into jeopardy. Now some folks will use that as a crutch to never train, and that's a different thing. You can find time to train. but it one weekend you have several project deadline coming due and it's a once every three months thing, keep your job, restart your cycle.

[@maykeloo13]

GOOD STUFF MATE

[@meso2702]

I totally agree, I always stretch and do feeder pumping exercise everyday it makes you feel good and helps with recovery, I do abs in between main workout days also. (I presume you don't mean doing a full body gut busting workout 7days a week 365 days a year ha ha 😃)

[@RedDeltaProject]

Correct Guy, by training I mean using the body in some purposeful activity be it anything from stretching and light yoga to the aforementioned gut-busting workouts.

[@j.7914]

Hilarious. Good points. Thanks for the motivation!

[@tradbowtimewithuncledan2686]

Old video but, I agree 👍

[@rgb711]

Do full body daily training, a 5 minute warm-up and a 35-40 minute workout 1 warm-up set and 1 set only. Do half of the reps per each of the 6 exercises. For example, say you can do 20 push-ups, then do only 10. When an exercise becomes too easy, add reps or a progression too it. The weekly training volume adds up. What are your thoughts about this?

[@RedDeltaProject]

A very smart way to train, Joe Rogan had a conditioning coach for the MMA fighters describe this very approach.

[@bargenejourney]

hey coach does working on just one muscle like biceps of just triceps per day can boost recovery cus its just one msucle and we doesnt have to eat alot of protein and carbs

[@miralay88]

Thanks for the video, you are doing great work. My question is; I am walking everyday totally 2 hours (morning and evening). I am training everyday as well, doing pull ups, pushups and leg raises 2 sets each. Do you think this is too much and would you recommend to change something on that? thanks

[@RedDeltaProject]

As long as you're recovering I see no problem with it. The more important question is if you're looking to progress your training, especially the push ups and pull ups in some way.

[@miralay88]

Thanks my friend.

[@Rob46373]

I train everyday abs and skills, 3 days a week upper body and 3 days a week lower body, but sometimes every 3-5 months I take a week off, I swear is the longest and hardest week of the year lol, but I feel it good, I rest and I get back stronger than before, but even in the week off I never stop the skills and the abs.

[@RedDeltaProject]

I hear ya, sometimes, taking time off can be so much harder than pushing yourself through hard training. It takes true discipline to rest sometimes

[@spive21]

i get better results with some recovery time of 1 to 3 days depending on what training i have done

[@xxnonstopdancingxx]

You have to train.

[@Zendefone]

Another point that really make sense in terms of evolutionary standpoint is that primal humans move constantly everyday instead of 3-4x/week 1 hr workouts like modern fitness advocates. Of course exercises all the time hourly is not practical for most modern people, hence the closest next best thing is some form of movement daily.

[@RedDeltaProject]

Fully agree. I've been doing some experimentation around being active every day as opposed to doing "workouts". Will report on my findings soon.

[@Zendefone]

[@abcdefgh4404]

It all depends on the intensity. Try to lift heavy everyday...and I guarantee you'll burn out as soon as possible. Now...training using just your bodyweight and not reaching Failure is possible to do it everyday.

[@fahadhum]

i have been going to the gym 6 days a week.And form yesterday started trying body-weight training . I used to do a bro split (i.e hitting each muscle once in a week). Can't i incorporate that somehow in body-weight training..?

For sure, you can apply most any weight-absed training plan to calisthenics. More to come in a new video

[@ashishj8680]

If u eat and sleep every day then train every day.

[@MonacoRocha]

it all depends on how hard you train....if you train hard then you must take a little time off.

[@NoName88925]

Help! I don't know if i should train everyday with light calisthenics or is it better to alternate it with the active stretching(ex: day1 only do calisthenics, day2 only do active stretch, day3 only do calisthenics...)?

[@RedDeltaProject]

You can do either. Active stretching is a form of calisthenics so they very much fall under the same ballpark. I would alternate though as it would just give you some variety from day to day.

[@IanBuell]

How do you build a calisthenics training program to train every day? Is there no such thing as overtraining? Thanks

[@RedDeltaProject]

There are many ways you do it. one of the most popular is just with split routines. I use a 3-day split that I do 2x a week so that ends up working for each muscle group twice a week but I'm training 6 days. Then the seventh day is just a play day or doing something light.

[@pratikkambli9267]

I m also training when im sick. Cuz i dont want lose consistency at any cost

[@RedDeltaProject]

Momentum is super important. Just modify the training to accommodate your energy level.

[@ZhuGeLiang6969]

i workout 2 days a week.. i train every day.. i workout, to grow muscle hypertrophy,.. fullbody 2x a week,, failure mode.. need recovery.. i train everyday, handbalancing stuff(all the routine), core engagement, mobility stuff. simple..

[@RedDeltaProject]

Perfect example of just what I'm talking about. very smart Saitama

[@fmwinvestkft.5178]

How much time should I train? Because in the past few weaks I do close to 2 hours trainings 3 times a week, and now I can't do them that much... But if I train 1 hour very intensive I feel I didn't do anything... So what should I do? Is it a good training if after that I don't feel my muscles that much exhausted?

[@RedDeltaProject]

Time isn't quite as important as what you do during that time. Personally, my strength workouts aren't much longer than 15-20 minutes. Fatiguing the muscle is an art and science. It takes practice to get good at doing it quickly. When you're used to working out for longer periods of time your mind naturally paces you so you can last that long. When you try and workout for a shorter time, you still pace yourself so you don't achieve as much fatigue. I'll look into it and make a video in the near future on this topic as it's pretty important. Stay tuned!

[@fmwinvestkft.5178]

Thanks!

[@barrybailey9796]

So isn't it smart to train differently. As in don't do cardio or legs everyday, maybe alternate? Or do you think it is OK to take like one day off per week and fully recover?

[@RedDeltaProject]

You can certainly do both, I like doing some leg strength exercises before going out for a bike ride, and sure, sometimes it's good to just take a day, but training can litterally just be some light stretching or practicing standing on one leg while you put on your socks

[@barrybailey9796]

@@RedDeltaProject Good idea on the socks. Balance becomes more important as we age. As bones become more brittle one fall can be all it takes,,,

[@iliyan-kulishev]

I just switched to every day training and came back to this video to bump my chest :) I got sick and tired of all these stupid rest day schemes and splits and what not. I TRAIN EVERY DAY NOW. FULL BODY. Frequency can beat everything. Start with just one set per exercise. After some time if you feel that you can handle even more ON A DAILY BASIS, then add more sets. But train every day. Yeah ! :)

[@RedDeltaProject]

Glad you're having fun with this idea. Also, don't forget to get a little playful with the training as well. A lot of times, training can be more detrimental when we do the same thing all the time like robots. Experiment with fun variations of your common moves and other flow activities like crawling to bring some fresh stimulation in your daily routine.

[@iliyan-kulishev]

[@ayushbhattacharya9973]

How many hours a day do you suggest for training and workouts??

[@RedDeltaProject]

Workouts should take as long as they need to take. no more. No less. it's more important to have a plan of what you want to accomplish and the time it takes is the time it takes. It's a much more practical approach than trying to work out for a given amount of time. The exception, of course, is if your workout goal is time specific (like how far can you run in 15 minutes) in that case it will take that allotted amount of time.

[@stewartsivarajah2352]

I’m listening to this seven years later and I’m realising that I have become lazy in my mindset, 🙏 👊

[@omarsawalha149]

Does this include strength training ?

[@RedDeltaProject]

Sure thing. You can split up training or vary the intensity and fatigue to still allow for recovery even if you're working on a move or two each day.

Kind of looks like a swole Prince William 🤣

[@perseuslowell9112]

Matt, are muscle gains with about 5 hours of sleep a day possible?

[@MarkScott1]

You need 7 - 8 hours realistically for optimum results. Sure going to struggle even performing very well at 5 hours let alone getting a decent recovery time in there.

[@svennovakovic8621]

Mark Scott i disagree. I built muscles with 5 or less hours of sleep daily. And beside strength training i was swimming every day.
