If you're still confused about isometrics, blame it on me for not explaining well enough! I was trying to balance a comprehensive explanation with a reasonable video time. I can add clarifying videos later. It's been a while since I've done a full-length fitness video. I'll put out some more soon - especially after I release Routine 2.0! Hope you're all well!
"Exercises begin at 2:22" Dude, I watch your videos because of your kindness and sympathy Why the heck anyone would skip you talking?? You are such a sweetheart!
I like hearing him talk as well. I haven't been working out, but I started back on eating different types of fish (I'm a pescetarian) and now all I need to do is isometric holds and run on a regular basis.
After getting injured in the Gym, I was afraid to start working out again. After seeing this video (and a lot of your other ones) I think I'm mentally ready to get back to it! Thanks again for the content you push out, I think everyone can agree that you're one of the best creators that help people of all levels of fitness!
My son introduced me to your channel when I injured my knee and was recovering. I thought it's for youngsters only but after watching your few videos at 45 + yrs it has encouraged me to excercise again without any harm to injuries or age related joint pain etc. Bless you. Keep it up.
After watching the 'You CAN do pull-ups, my friend' vid over a year ago, I knew I hit a hidden gem of one those fitness channels. Found your website and when I saw the progressive variations, I knew this is what I've been finding for. Love your vids my friend. 😄👍
Sometimes i forget that being mentally healthy is an important part of getting stronger. Man I can almost cry with how reassuring your videos are. Thank you.
The massive saiyan strength this guy has to be able to move so smoothly between isometric hold positions! Great job Hampton. You inspire me to get stronger and I am hitting a plateau.just clarifying i am not doing anything advanced, just unable to get to it.
The way that you add some theory at the beggining of the video add so much quality to your videos , You're a great inspiration not only with exercise but with improving as a human being, day after day.
I just love how you are one of the few Fitness channels that make's every Fitnesslevel accepted and welcome. Even as a pretty fit person i appreciate that alot ❤️
Thank you for this! I'm a 23 Yr old with rheumatoid arthritis so I have the energy and muscular strength but my joint get so painful sometimes, like for example, pushups really strain my wrists. Your videos are so helpful! I'll try out these variations 😌
SOMETIMES and I emphasize sometimes you can get wrist supports that can ease but not eliminate the pain. Just like with y torn up knee :). Still walk my dog sometimes for her sheer joy it is great to see.
I've had knee pain for a while now, especially since I dislocated my knee 4 months ago. Me being me, didn't listen entirely to the doctor and as soon as the dislocation was 'fixed' to the point where I didn't get any pain when I ran, but it wasn't healed completely. Ended up reinjuring it twice after because of that. I finally got around to fixing it again and this will help me get back to my workouts now, thanks for this video Hampton!
Hi. I just want to congratulate you for the amazing channel. I'm from Brazil, I have 57 years old and I got really inspired by your teaching. Please forgive my latin english. haha
Thank you for this Hampton! As someone who has been Obese since the age of 12 and is just now starting to come into a normal weight for their size, those years and years of obesity has completely ruined my joints. So I find certain exercise painful because of the strain it puts on my joints, this is so helpful, and exercises I know I can do and still grow strength.
Somehow, Hamptom know what his community needs and I can tell by personal experience and the comments. This video is perfect for my pain at the moment of doing squats. Thank you so much, Hamptom.
This is really convenient for me as I’m switching over from mostly weight training to body weight training and I receantly ordered a Power tower (pull up bar, dip bars, and push up handles) to help. I’ll be sure to watch and listen to the video to find some useful stuff to add to my routine Thank you Hampton!
It was organized enough thank you! I will always be recovering from the damage from the military. I gave up a long time ago from repeated surgeries but wanted to try again. You do a much better job than the physical therapists of breaking down real exercises and showing progression at a pace I can manage. At 65 I finally think I can manage to get better.
I very much needed this! Running and then sitting for long periods of time has done it’s number haha. I appreciate this as I’m trying to get a healthier lifestyle with better feeling joints! Thanks Hampton!
This was welcome and helpful ten short minutes for me. Thank you👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This quick detail is simple for me to keep up with my body work. I also do the shorts. I know when to use both. See you in next video class!
Woah here's my advice from a fellow guy on the internet: Don't count the reps YOU make them count and what i mean by that is using time under tension when doing the exercise without momentum you control the way your body moves trust me if you control your body when doing an exercise stability and strength will be certain and the key to getting that is consistency you'd be surprised if i told you i did 10 reps of diamond push ups each rep takes 4 seconds which means it took me 40 seconds to complete a set and that was yesterday my shoulder and triceps are a little sore but not painful try strengthing your rotator cuff muscles or do some shoulder stretches sorry if my comment was too lonf
Most shoulder injuries and pain comes from muscle imbalances around the joint, focusing on muscle and neglecting others will make unbalances. For example training the shoulder /lats more often. It also could be coming from other reasons such as bad Pousture /poor diet /overtraining a muscle in a short time causes adhesion/hyperactive upper traps /bad control and form... Etc I recommend u to start training all the neglected muscles that help the situation. The muscles u need to train and strengthen for better scapula movement and shoulder joint health are the following: -The rear deltoid -the external rotator cuffs -the middle and lower trapezius -the serratus anterior -thoracic spine mobility as well -the core muscles Streching gives a temporary fix only, yes Streching help a little but it's never the answer. Strengthing the neglected muscle along with scapula control exercises are key to reverse shoulder injury. I injured my shoulder 2 years ago and I've been studying and searching how to fix it and that took me 2 years to realize the danger of unbalances now recently I planned my rehabilitation program for my shoulder and it's getting so much better day by day.
@@supersonic882 true what you said was true i had extreme shoulder pain i waited for 2 months for it to heal and it never got better the pain stayed and then i decided it was enough i searched through the internet and found the answer weak back muscles or weak rotator cuffs i trained them for one day and the next day boom no pain remember for anyone reading this comment never neglect your muscles or any muscle for example if you trained the quads train the hamstrings as well never leave imbalances it's never about looking good it's about the safety and benefits from the exercise
Agreed. I broke my back in 2019 and, whilst prognoses was a lifelong wheelchair bound future, I was "lucky" enough I've been doing qigong for over 30 years. It was zhan zhuang that enabled me to walk again. Now, I went through 5 surgeries due to "complications" and one of the side effects of those narcosis/surgeries was joint pain. Particularly in the elbows and shoulders. I never ever had those. But yeah, it's a known side effect. Anywho, even with light exercises such as baduanjin or surya namaskar, isometrics are a good addition. Forget about push ups or whatever. Chaturanga and the likes are better, less pain. Now, here's the thing. Exercises like Da jin fa and to a lesser, different degree, Zhan zhuang are..um..., by lack of better words, a form of non or less-muscular isometric practices. I know it sounds weird, but in terms of how isometrics work on a neuro level ( to begin with), that's exactly what they are in a way. With a certain intention,you hold, push or lift in a relaxed position for a prolonged time. There's no doubt in my mind that performing those exercises results, amongst others, in the same results as would the more "western, more muscular isometrics" do. Power, explosiveness, souplesse.. That being said, while doing isometrics, "soft" tendon and muscle stretching types of exercise like baduanjin or vinyasa ( for example) are excellent counterparts to release and flow the power generated by static muscular isometrics, wether yielding or overcoming.
As a sidenote. Yoga, as we know it, being a modern ( western) practice, has quite a few of asanas that are muscle/tendon isometric exercises. More so in Hatha ( sivananda) than in Asjtanga since the first holds the positions longer.
That’s Awesome! Thank you Brother Hampton!!! Although I am just starting my fitness journey, and I find it may be difficult to do some of these variations, I can still see the application and apply it to the forms I’m doing. Example, I’m doing pull-ups from a doorway. But, I can hold the halfway point for an isometric hold! Or, same variations from a wall push-up! Thank you for your content, and I appreciate how you approach and explain topics! It makes someone as novice as myself still feel included and not left out over those further along in their journey than myself! Love You Brother
You're great. Your videos are soooo useful for myself and my family. I have a very bad lower back and I watch / listen to you for motivation and inspiration. Thank you for all your efforts and hard work to GIVE. I want my nephews and nieces to be like you when they grow up. Have a good day my friend.
*Man I Stopped Training Upper Body For The Past 2 Months Cuz My Elbows We’re Cracking With Pain But Since They’ve Gotten A Bit Better I Think I’ll Try These👍🏽Preciate Chu Man💯🤝*
Eres tan hermoso, tienes una energía muy bella y te agradezco por compartirla, explicas muy bien y me gusta la manera en que llegas paso a paso al ejercicio final, enseñas que todas las personas podemos lograr hacer cada ejercicio y te felicito por tu pedagogía. Feliz vida y que vivas días preciosos. Un saludo en la distancia.
It helps if we learn to breathe regularly during these exercises. However, the largest factor is usually that I've built strength beyond those exercises. I'd have more trouble speaking normally doing full-ROM one-arm pullups, for example. But unless you're filming or otherwise need to speak while exercising, just let your expressions run wild! It's normal for our surrounding musculature to be recruited when we do high-intensity exercises.
I imagine that these exercises are more like walking to Hampton by this time. As most people have mastered walking by year 2, we no longer show effort when we walk compared to when we're still learning to put one foot in front of the other to get somewhere.
You have a great channel! I'm a new subscriber. I'm older and do a mix of calisthenics and weights. Lately, I been experimenting with modifying my Pull Up routine. These days, on a good day I can do 5 on my own with good form. After I complete my own reps I follow it up with band assisted and squeeze out a few more and then do some negatives. What I learned was although the bands are considered cheating or assistance by many, they actually add tension, thus feel the stretch more. It may benefit me to do them exclusively with bands since I can increase TUT and may benefit me more over time. Also, as you stated, partials at a certain angle or range can help. I don't want to get caught up in the numbers game, my intent is more TUT and pushing blood in the Back.
I’ve been doing pull-ups for about a month now and went from barely being able to do 5 to crushing 20 with ease. The thing is that I’ve recently started to feel minor pain within my shoulder. Do these methods help those experiencing rotator cuff issues by strengthening the weaker/lesser used muscles within the shoulder?
Hampton mentioned in one of his videos that this may be due to your muscles having grown quicker than your joints were able to develop. You can strengthen them by doing easier variations of the pull-up, thus not straining them with too much weight before they have fully adapted.
Yep, muscles grow faster than the tissues in and around your joints. Once you strengthen them up, you'll be able to jump to your next level. Like this video pointed out, reducing the intensity through dynamics or using isometrics will help alleviate the pain. Then incorporate them in to your routine to maintain better joint health or stay on steps longer (ie: starting at 5, when you get to 10, take some time and hang-out there for a few more weeks until everything feels solid, then jump up another 5 and rinse repeat). Although, like someone mentioned, not counting your reps and concentrating on the actual movement with slow reps. Putting pauses at the beginning, middle and end of exercises you can add pauses to will also help. There's more to the exercise than how many you can do, as that's just one of the main areas you can manipulate. If you don't train any other area, you will develop problems, not if. Think of tempo, unilateral, weight, sets etc to name a few. Once you start using more tools, the chances of injury go way down.
I do strength training in the morning ( as in weights) and I'd like to put trigger sessions in between, calisthenics always interested me so maybe it would be a good thing to try incorporating that into my days Also I was searching for isometrics and I'm also interested in trying to get my ability to pull up back, and you're the perfect guy for that
started doing this since im a bigger guy ive been lovingf it seeing more definition in my legs and arms and now im doing it for 30 mins every day i cant get enough of the high
I always enjoy your videos. So much kindness :-) i decided to become fitter and loose overweight.Since a half year i do several Trainings in the Gym : 4DproBungee Fitness (do you know that?) , Jumping Fitness,XBT and CrossFit. I Love making progress and for me it's really motivating to exercise in a group. Your videos are great, because you show that everyone can do something! Have a beautiful Weekend,my friend :-)
I was suffering from back arching for a long time and your video was really helpful, can you please make a detailed video on knock knees and flat feet problem 🙏🏽
Good you mentioned to breath eventhough you are under tension. I see so much people press breathing all the time. It just doubles your bloodpressure, is unhealthy and unnessacery unless you are doing something really heavy with low reps.
I say as far as pull ups go the hammer grip sames more forgiving, than the supinated or pronated grip. You can go longer than 6-10 seconds on the overcoming isometrics, using 50-75 percent effort.
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75 //////////
Hi. Been seeing a lot of your videos and I appreciate you breaking down different types of workouts for a lot if people. I'd like to ask for advise. I broke my left forearm on a bike accident twice and my ortho said I need at least 2 years for the bone to fully heal and carry on load. I really like to start working out and being healthy and achieving my dream physique, would you have any recommendations on alternative exercises to build my chest without putting too much stress and weight on the forearm? I don't want to break it a 3rd time. 😅 Thank you!
Occasionally feeling sad for no reason is normal. What we are taught nowadays is that if you feel sad or depressed there must be something wrong with you. I have mild bipolar and go through periods of mild depression and it took me a long time to train myself that this is ok. The people you need to be worried about are the ones that are constantly up beat. They are the weirdo’s.
YOU ARE SOOO CUTE!!! I HAVE SUCH A BIG CRUSH ON YOU!!! Thank you for your amazing energy and commitment to sharing your awesome skillzzz!!! You're inspiring me to work out 🙏🙏❤️
Hello my friend, these exercises will be very good for me while I recover from my elbow tendinitis: thank you very much for the video? I take this opportunity to expose a doubt that I have about your routine: it is obvious that it works for the creation of strength (you are the example), but I do not understand how it does it? I mean, how can it be that almost all the studies talk about a few more series of work per muscle group per week for strength (even more for hypertrophy) and with your method only 2-3 weekly series are worked, despite being compound exercises? Thank you
If you're still confused about isometrics, blame it on me for not explaining well enough! I was trying to balance a comprehensive explanation with a reasonable video time. I can add clarifying videos later.

How did you get injured , what happened , im scared of getting injured so I can learn from your experience
Could you update and share your progress, if you’ve really benefited from the exercises?
Same!
Exactly! I was a shamed of my lack of strength and general fitness for a long time.
But know i have the courage and proper exercises for my level.

"Feel free to use time stamps."
No, thanks. Happy to listen to this wonderful man from start to end.
However you can use the stamps to go back to specific work outs once you have :) So it is nice they are there
I had elbow surgery a year ago, and this is the first time I've heard someone recommend isometrics to help with the pain. Thanks for this
No need to apologize Hampton. Your work speaks volumes. 👊

LEARN and TAKE IT SLOW. FAST walks are as good for your HEART and the rest of your body as jogging and less likely to re-injure your knee.

Hey Hampton I haven't been getting notifications for any of your shorts. But I do get them for the long vids.
Hey! You may have to go to the Shorts and enable notifications there. TH-cam separated the long-form and short-form notifications.
Aye the guy who made you feel motivated is back
No worries young man. Long or short your videos are very informative,and extremely helpful. God bless you and wife lad.
Perfect timing since I hurt my shoulder trying to do an extra 100 push ups than I normally do
What do you mean by hurt? Like did it pop out?
Woah here's my advice from a fellow guy on the internet:
Don't count the reps YOU make them count and what i mean by that is using time under tension when doing the exercise without momentum you control the way your body moves trust me if you control your body when doing an exercise stability and strength will be certain and the key to getting that is consistency you'd be surprised if i told you i did 10 reps of diamond push ups each rep takes 4 seconds which means it took me 40 seconds to complete a set and that was yesterday my shoulder and triceps are a little sore but not painful try strengthing your rotator cuff muscles or do some shoulder stretches sorry if my comment was too lonf

It also could be coming from other reasons such as bad Pousture /poor diet /overtraining a muscle in a short time causes adhesion/hyperactive upper traps /bad control and form... Etc
I recommend u to start training all the neglected muscles that help the situation.
The muscles u need to train and strengthen for better scapula movement and shoulder joint health are the following:
-The rear deltoid
-the external rotator cuffs
-the middle and lower trapezius
-the serratus anterior
-thoracic spine mobility as well
-the core muscles
Streching gives a temporary fix only, yes Streching help a little but it's never the answer. Strengthing the neglected muscle along with scapula control exercises are key to reverse shoulder injury.

As a sidenote. Yoga, as we know it, being a modern ( western) practice, has quite a few of asanas that are muscle/tendon isometric exercises. More so in Hatha ( sivananda) than in Asjtanga since the first holds the positions longer.
That’s Awesome! Thank you Brother Hampton!!!
Although I am just starting my fitness journey, and I find it may be difficult to do some of these variations, I can still see the application and apply it to the forms I’m doing.
Example, I’m doing pull-ups from a doorway. But, I can hold the halfway point for an isometric hold! Or, same variations from a wall push-up!
Thank you for your content, and I appreciate how you approach and explain topics! It makes someone as novice as myself still feel included and not left out over those further along in their journey than myself!
Love You Brother
You're great. Your videos are soooo useful for myself and my family. I have a very bad lower back and I watch / listen to you for motivation and inspiration. Thank you for all your efforts and hard work to GIVE. I want my nephews and nieces to be like you when they grow up. Have a good day my friend.
Most underrated fitness channel in the universe

"We want our back to be unbroken" -Hampton 2022
Eres tan hermoso, tienes una energía muy bella y te agradezco por compartirla, explicas muy bien y me gusta la manera en que llegas paso a paso al ejercicio final, enseñas que todas las personas podemos lograr hacer cada ejercicio y te felicito por tu pedagogía. Feliz vida y que vivas días preciosos. Un saludo en la distancia.
These are great topics to cover. I always send these to people In my life that need to build muscle but have limitations. Thanks so much for them!🙏❤️
This sounds great. I have so much joint pain from old sports injuries. I didn't know it's possible to strengthen joints🇨🇦
Was indeed worried about training muscles to only work in a specific angle, thank you for educating us and also have a great day!
always been a binge watcher , how'd you control your expressions while doing hard exercises?
It helps if we learn to breathe regularly during these exercises.
However, the largest factor is usually that I've built strength beyond those exercises. I'd have more trouble speaking normally doing full-ROM one-arm pullups, for example.
But unless you're filming or otherwise need to speak while exercising, just let your expressions run wild! It's normal for our surrounding musculature to be recruited when we do high-intensity exercises.
I imagine that these exercises are more like walking to Hampton by this time. As most people have mastered walking by year 2, we no longer show effort when we walk compared to when we're still learning to put one foot in front of the other to get somewhere.
Thank you for this, your videos are on a different level of professionalism
You have a great channel! I'm a new subscriber.
I'm older and do a mix of calisthenics and weights. Lately, I been experimenting with modifying my Pull Up routine. These days, on a good day I can do 5 on my own
with good form. After I complete my own reps I follow it up with band assisted and squeeze out a few more and then do some negatives. What I learned was although the bands are considered cheating or assistance by many, they actually add tension, thus feel the stretch more. It may benefit me to do them exclusively with bands since I can increase
TUT and may benefit me more over time. Also, as you stated, partials at a certain
angle or range can help. I don't want to get caught up in the numbers game, my intent
is more TUT and pushing blood in the Back.
Hampton! I love you! Your channel is a well of invaluable information! The care you take in your videos is so inspiring...
Thanks for this kind of content
I’ve been doing pull-ups for about a month now and went from barely being able to do 5 to crushing 20 with ease. The thing is that I’ve recently started to feel minor pain within my shoulder.
Do these methods help those experiencing rotator cuff issues by strengthening the weaker/lesser used muscles within the shoulder?
Just do the exercise right, instead of aiming for the amount of reps. and you won't feel that pain anymore.
@@jogilajariov2362 yes form does matter for exactly this reason.👌🏾
Hampton mentioned in one of his videos that this may be due to your muscles having grown quicker than your joints were able to develop. You can strengthen them by doing easier variations of the pull-up, thus not straining them with too much weight before they have fully adapted.
Yep, muscles grow faster than the tissues in and around your joints. Once you strengthen them up, you'll be able to jump to your next level. Like this video pointed out, reducing the intensity through dynamics or using isometrics will help alleviate the pain. Then incorporate them in to your routine to maintain better joint health or stay on steps longer (ie: starting at 5, when you get to 10, take some time and hang-out there for a few more weeks until everything feels solid, then jump up another 5 and rinse repeat). Although, like someone mentioned, not counting your reps and concentrating on the actual movement with slow reps. Putting pauses at the beginning, middle and end of exercises you can add pauses to will also help.
There's more to the exercise than how many you can do, as that's just one of the main areas you can manipulate. If you don't train any other area, you will develop problems, not if. Think of tempo, unilateral, weight, sets etc to name a few. Once you start using more tools, the chances of injury go way down.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!
I was run over by a car last year and I'm just now trying to start exercising again 🙌
This really helps i was born with a condition where my knees have ultimately less muscle and will dislocate stupid easy so this is great thank you!
This video is such a vibe homie sheeeshhhhh
Thank you, really appreciate this one
You opend my eyes 👍 I finally have a legit place to start from. Thank you so much and love ya back ❤️😘
Great information. Thank you! I would love to see some videos on dealing with wrist pain.
Thank you so much for this Hampton! My knees are destroyed this should help me alot! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video - isometrics are an interesting topic.
Well done!
Thanks. And I really do love the long form videos.
I do strength training in the morning ( as in weights) and I'd like to put trigger sessions in between, calisthenics always interested me so maybe it would be a good thing to try incorporating that into my days
Also I was searching for isometrics and I'm also interested in trying to get my ability to pull up back, and you're the perfect guy for that
YOUR DOG LOOKS GREAT HAMPTON! I LOVE YOUR DOG
started doing this since im a bigger guy ive been lovingf it seeing more definition in my legs and arms and now im doing it for 30 mins every day i cant get enough of the high
I always enjoy your videos. So much kindness :-) i decided to become fitter and loose overweight.Since a half year i do several Trainings in the Gym : 4DproBungee Fitness (do you know that?) , Jumping Fitness,XBT and CrossFit. I Love making progress and for me it's really motivating to exercise in a group.
Your videos are great, because you show that everyone can do something! Have a beautiful Weekend,my friend :-)
I love these longer videos
I love this channel is so calming in here and useful
thank you, currently suffering from elbow pain from push ups.
I was suffering from back arching for a long time and your video was really helpful, can you please make a detailed video on knock knees and flat feet problem 🙏🏽
Good you mentioned to breath eventhough you are under tension. I see so much people press breathing all the time. It just doubles your bloodpressure, is unhealthy and unnessacery unless you are doing something really heavy with low reps.
Finally a cure for me wrist and lower back pain
No joint pain exercises this is very creative 👌
Don't mind me, just commenting for the algorithm, everyone needs more Hampton in their lives.
Thank you for 60FPS
Thank you for chapters
Thank you for talking about joint angle myth
Great 👍 content Hampton, I have to say that I'm a Great 😊 fan of isometric training in addition to my hybrid calisthenics workout 💪💪😊👍
My man, you are the best
I say as far as pull ups go the hammer grip sames more forgiving, than the supinated or pronated grip. You can go longer than 6-10 seconds on the overcoming isometrics, using 50-75 percent effort.
Not many ppl make video on this topic,thanks!!
Have a beautiful day🌞 thank you 🙏🏽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great video man. Comment for the algorithm.
This is amazing stuff, I will work to become this strong
this dude is the best on god
Big fan my guy
Ive had trouble with my joints but i always pushed through and now im somehow good
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

Hi. Been seeing a lot of your videos and I appreciate you breaking down different types of workouts for a lot if people.
I'd like to ask for advise. I broke my left forearm on a bike accident twice and my ortho said I need at least 2 years for the bone to fully heal and carry on load. I really like to start working out and being healthy and achieving my dream physique, would you have any recommendations on alternative exercises to build my chest without putting too much stress and weight on the forearm? I don't want to break it a 3rd time. 😅 Thank you!
Could you make a coffee with Hampton video talking about when you get sad for literally no reason? I seem to catch "the sads" as I call it
Occasionally feeling sad for no reason is normal. What we are taught nowadays is that if you feel sad or depressed there must be something wrong with you. I have mild bipolar and go through periods of mild depression and it took me a long time to train myself that this is ok. The people you need to be worried about are the ones that are constantly up beat. They are the weirdo’s.
@@keithsmith9833 I get sad for no reason like two or three times a day and it lasts like 20 minutes
I really iked this - it was slightly hard to follow in places but overall really useful thank you
Love your content and I was wondering if you could make a post about improving balance
YOU ARE SOOO CUTE!!! I HAVE SUCH A BIG CRUSH ON YOU!!! Thank you for your amazing energy and commitment to sharing your awesome skillzzz!!! You're inspiring me to work out 🙏🙏❤️
Casually going from two arm to one arm hold cracked me up
Awesome! Thanks Hampton : )
dude, you are a great person all around. do you have anything for joint health in general?
Isometric is also good for getting ripped and shredding fats. It's also good for maintaining muscle gains while on vacation.
Love your content and personality
I going to make those excercises my goal
Hello my friend, these exercises will be very good for me while I recover from my elbow tendinitis: thank you very much for the video?
I take this opportunity to expose a doubt that I have about your routine: it is obvious that it works for the creation of strength (you are the example), but I do not understand how it does it? I mean, how can it be that almost all the studies talk about a few more series of work per muscle group per week for strength (even more for hypertrophy) and with your method only 2-3 weekly series are worked, despite being compound exercises?
Thank you
Hampton, are you going to make a house tour? I’m really interested in seeing that magical forest you live in
Excellent video time to do these everyday see how it goes
Thanks for the workout!
Guys, you don't need an easier variation, though it is good advice, what you need is to heal your joints with methylsulfonylmethane + magnesium oil
Awesome channel.
Is it better to do specific muscle days or everyday exercises, and if so which ones do do together? Thank you!
