This is great information. How do you train specific to relative endurance

How can I do this with calisthenics?
I walk an hour a day I dont loose weight. After my daughter i gained weight because my body shut down with pregnancy because i had morning sickness 24/7. And my body went on survival mode. I couldnt eat or drink anything So after that i didnt loose anything even with 2 3 hours walking a day i did in the summer. And that was 6 years ago.
Following the Busy Dad Program has changed my life. I’m fitter and stronger than I’ve ever been - and that’s all thanks to 4x20 mins of burpees a week. So I have no clue what you are talking about and suggest you start burpees too.
My argument is that I'll bet you would get better results with 4x20 minutes of different exercises at a roughly equivalent intensity, but if you've found what works for you, that's great.
Think about how we evolved - a lot more walking than running. Aligning to this with a ton of walking and some running seems to pay off, i.e. maybe an hour walk and 20-30min+ jog/run each day. 1500-2000 calories with this combo for myself, friends, and family who have also tried it and tracked their efforts.
I like this perspective. Some people have a really hard time with running, but for those who don't, I agree it's a great idea to include both activities in your weekly routine.
@@trainforever1142 Appreciate the feedback. True with the running, I used to struggle with it and found simply tons of walking eventually opened me up to enjoying and exploring it. Almost like mastering the walk first, then opening up to jogging and perhaps even running as the body becomes more conditioned.
Its not important engery inn or out will work for all the important thing is from what kind of food you take the energy inn,if your taking this input calories from fat and proteins surely you will loos weight if its coming from carbs you will never loos weight no matter if you walk 20 km a day even
No. This is a common misconception.
I’m at my biggest I’ve ever been a super disappointed I started two weeks ago at 299lbs I’m a 28 yo M that has a sedentary job. I’m sick of being big, so I started walking an hour everyday totaling 2.95 miles per hr. I’ve lost 10lbs already in two weeks!! I never thought I’d lose weight by Just WALKING. Don’t get discouraged people seriously just go for a simple walk. I’m walking as I’m typing this and I’m starting to feel good mentally. Put some headphones on and listen to music, podcasts, books and just walk!
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Say that to prison inmates
Yes, the undisputed strength and conditioning experts.
I’m not trying to be mean but….how does a guy who looks like he’s never picked up a weight give advice to people on how to get bigger…..old guys at that? That’s like a tone deaf person teaching someone how to sing on pitch. It just doesn’t make sense.
I’m gonna come to this comment section every time I need a boost of positive energy.
How do I develop the ability to do sets with less rest time in between them? In pull-ups in particular, I feel great doing the first set, but the second set I’m only able to do half of the reps of the first set. How can I get my body to recover quicker from the first set? Or is that just how it’s set up, I just have to take a longer rest?
I generally program longer rest breaks between sets of pull-ups because this is a common problem. Unless there's a specific reason you need to improve your ability to do pull-ups with shorter rest, I'd take longer rest breaks and have more productive sets.
Thank you

How many set and reps should i do?
I don't know how many sets and reps you should do. I like to use one set of 3x10s holds each side in a warm-up, and 2-4 sets of 10s holds in a training session, if that's in the program. Some folks start off with 5s holds, or a regressed variation like arms or legs only, or standing and using a wall.
I like horse stance
It is a staple for the military and the special forces swear by them.
The benchpress isposdible to load. The push ups are limited in that since. And I promise you that if you get your 80 kgs bench ftom say 80 kg to 120 kgs doing fives, you will benot only stronger but bigger to
How about a blink or two, it’s good for you (blinking) 😅😅😅😅
Burpee problematic? Nobody likes them? Respectfully, never try to speak for "everybody" by saying that"nobody" likes them. I love them. So just based on me, your "nobody" statement is wrong.
thanks for this pure simple physical education :) on that note, it's time for me to build my strength.
I know it takes time and have to be patient
63-year old female 1-hour walking 3 miles burns around 300 calories for me
I'm training for boxing I want to be strong and have endurance I was thinking 1 week heavy weight low reps 2nd week lower weight high reps my goal is to become better in my boxing and overall being strong
In that situation I would prioritize power training and aerobic endurance.
Usain Bolt can sprint at a 36 second quarter mile pace. So he can jog a 60 second quarter mile pace. Therefore, Usain Bolt should easily break a 4 minute mile…. That’s your logic.
Well, no, because I'm talking about muscular strength vs endurance, not maximum running velocity vs aerobic endurance. The relationship between each set of variables is different, and that's precisely my point. I wouldn't make a video arguing that sprint training transfers unexpectedly well to aerobic endurance based tasks because I don't have that evidence. Aerobic endurance and muscular endurance are different. Strength based tasks do transfer well to tasks that we would typically categorize as endurance based. That's it.
@@trainforever1142 you are classifying these as separate categories and they aren’t. What’s the difference between a seated row in the gym vs a rowing machine for endurance? Virtually nothing except for the load. The guy who can pull the maximum row in the world doesn’t stand a chance against an Olympic rower in an endurance event. Muscular endurance is just endurance using muscles not typically used for endurance.
@@akn0187rmb They are separate categories. Muscular endurance and aerobic endurance are different. If you read a physiology textbook they will be in different chapters. Bioenergetics plays a huge role. Aerobic endurance activities are mostly fueled through aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation. Weight lifting through ATP-PCr and anaerobic glycolysis. Strength tasks won't transfer to aerobic based tasks in large part for this reason. That's why I'm not making that argument in the video. It's difficult to defend a point that I'm specifically saying I'm not making...
@@trainforever1142 fair enough. I don’t think they belong in different categories and it doesn’t matter what chapter divisions the textbook offers. If you lighten the load enough, the limiting factor becomes a combination of muscle and cardio. Your analogy to the NFL combine is largely irrelevant because 225 is a heavy load. When people are talking about muscular endurance training, they are usually talking about significantly lighter loads. And at a certain point, the big guys gas out. So getting stronger isn’t always the answer. But you are entitled to your opinion.
@@akn0187rmb That muscular endurance and aerobic endurance are different isn't a matter of opinion. Exercise physiology is a scientific field with several agreed upon principles - this is one.
Very science based, nuanced and grounded video. Subscribed 👌
While I agree that the bench can build more mass than regular pushups, I don't know if they'd be better for pec development than DEFICIT pushups. I stopped doing floor push-ups once I discovered deficit push-ups. The range of motion is crazy and you never kiss the floor. I use 2 aerobic platforms. I'll never go back to floor push-ups
I weight 105 kg and I'm doing deficit push ups on parallettes with backpack filled with 30 kg of sand
Walking made me feel full longer, hence the cravings stopped, no more binge eating. I tried to be more aware with the food i take because i dont want to waste the effort i did after an hour of walking. Low impact, steady approach works best to sustain the exercise to be on a regular basis.
The 3500 calories number comes from the fact that a lb of fat includes some water weight.
One can lose weight by walking alone, but that's the wrong goal. The goal should be maintaining and building muscle while signalling the body to utilize fat as it's primary fuel source. Walking a lone does just the opposite and will leave you w/ less muscle, a slower metabolism, and biologically older.
Push-up is superior if one is able to conveniently load it. But that's a bit of a trick and expense. Now one can develop some amazing chest size w/ high rep push-up routines. The problem there is the shoulders can't take it. You'll pay the price when you get older. Consequently, for muscle size bench press makes the most sense.
The low end is one.
I'm stronger doing pushups and pullups throughout the day
I usually walk 10 minutes a day because I’m lazy but now im gonna do this for a month and tell you my results. Big W
Every little bit helps. Good luck.
What was the result?
10 km walk daily+keto diet [best ever]ialso lose 40kg+ weight
how can i train for endurance and strength at the same muscle? i currently do it at the same day, and i feel crazy DOMS, i might be overtraining, my sets were 5 for strength and 3 for endurance
My first thought would be to introduce an element of periodization. Something where strength was prioritized for a few weeks followed by a change in program structure to prioritize endurance for a few weeks. Overtime, both qualities would develop.
@@trainforever1142thank you so much for responding to me, have a great day
Can you do them both in the same week????????? Like one in the beginning and the other variation at the end.
For sure. As long as total weekly volume is reasonable I wouldn't hesitate to include both variations in the same training phase.
@@trainforever1142 Thanks bro.
Wait wait, "it is not doing anything for your glutes or forearms," It is a squat with a push up and a jump.

Pandemic made me mentally and physically unhealthy. 2021 when I decided to chnage my lifestyle. I weigh 176lbs but now i have managed to maintain 143lbs. I run and walk + diet and exercise daily.
1-3mins is plenty of rest time
Man, such a underrated channel. You just straight-up drop gems 💎 I came here after watching a video that said bench is bad for you cause it messes up your shoulders its got millions of views and so many saying they dont do it now based off what the guy said. Sure, he made some points. But i had a suspension that comes down to how you're doing it, how much weight you're using, if youre warming up or not ,etc I watched your video " does benchpress mess up your shoulders" and you just knocked it outta the park. So many variables come into play I wish more ppl could understand what you were saying in the video instead of just solely listening to the celebs of the fitness industry
Sorry but this is just BS. Muscular endurance is absolutely crucial for health and performance. Just ask any grappler when their grip gives out or they can't finish a guillotine choke due to lack of strength-endurance. There are sports that are basically strength-endurance sports (e.g. kettlebell sport) and sports that include elements of strength-endurance like CrossFit and Strongman (e.g. log press for reps). The least you could've done was include some info on how to train this quality, especially for those of us who already train maximal strength.
It's a perspective, not an absolute. The idea is to challenge the classical rep range continuum, for which evidence is mixed at best. Recent article on the subject: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7927075/ Excerpt from conclusion section: "Evidence for a load-specific effect on local muscular endurance remains equivocal. Early work suggested a potential benefit of light load training on muscular endurance, particularly when testing on an absolute basis. That said, the evidence for such an effect is rather weak and seems more relevant to the lower body musculature. Alternatively, research investigating the effects of load on relative muscular endurance is conflicting and, for the most part, does not seem to support recommendations drawn from the repetition continuum." Have a great day and good luck with your training.
