bro you have a unique, but basic approach that I love. The basics are all you need if you've truly mastered them like I see you working on in all your videos.
This guy is super on point Changed my life for sure Love the content Intuitive and methodical I like when he said something like don’t be chasing reps but movement mastery Good stuff
Been doing paused reps for all bodyweight exercises and honestly its the best thing for balance in the body engages the most important thing which is core and balance of the body which is definitely needed
I’ve got a slight shoulder strain and find pausing my press up reps at the top of the movement is discomfort free . If I do them at speed , sloppy if you like my shoulder hurts . Obviously I will have some more rest days but for that reason I like paused reps
I would start at around 10-12 sets per week or so, and slowly increase volume over time. I prefer daily training, so, something like 1-2 sets 5-6 days per week is a great place to start.
I think they can be a useful variation for sure, but probably not much more powerful than regular paused reps. The are certainly HARD though. Give them a shot and see how you like them and what they offer you.
Thanks for the great content. When doing dips on a dip rack I am getting soreness at the internal side of the shoulders. If I do them on bar stools with my hands turned out, I don’t get soreness at the joint (or very minimal). Do you have any form recommendations? It would be great if you could do a video to break down the dip
Perhaps it is due to internal rotation, try doing it with external rotation of the shoulders, this helped me when I started doing dips if the dip rack is a V shape face the opening and do dips
Can you consider Paused reps as a variation? For example, doing regular push up every day, switching to paused rep every other day. Can you avoid overuse injury?
I recently started your max pullups program. My current goal is just to increase reps. Do you recommend pause reps during working sets of the workout? (I am not talking about the sets for testing max).
@@jakemccoy The pull up program has a good track record for getting people there. After you finish it, reach out again and if it didn't get you to 20, we can run it again with some modifications. Just keep your body composition on point and you should be good.
We can clearly see from this video that bodyweight is the key, the healthiest and the best. Different grips also key. We must keep that in mind! Weights isnt always the best Option for a healthy heart. That is my goal. You helped me alot thank you. I hope my videos can help you too k.boges💪🤙
Regarding the hanging position within the pull-up: do I need to relax the pulling muscles completely or should one remain some basic body tension ? Sound Argumentation, appreciate it, Sir 👍
Both can work. I prefer a passive dead hang at the bottom because it has immensely helped my shoulder health. Check out the work by Dr. John Kirsch and the kauai study regarding the impact of dead hanging on shoulders. It's very interesting and worked for me.
Have you figured out why you have only 511 subscribers? I would really like to know your thoughts. It seems like I should be looking at 511k subscribers, not 511 subscribers. I am not trying to flatter you. I sincerely want to know the answer.
HAHAHA I have no idea dude. I'm just going to keep putting out as much good content as my schedule affords and maybe it will happen one day. If not, no worries!
Would you say doing a body weight pull-up or chin-up if I can get 4 reps per set (I weight 270#) is better or worse than doing band assisted reps and getting sets of 10?
If you have a daily rep goal, how do you fit harder variations into that as they may make it harder to achieve said reps. Due to the increase in intensity?
master the basics first thta takes awhile you can fit harder variations in when they others feel too easy but with passed you should listen to your body to see where you should place them
Sure but it’s as full ROM as I can go given my shoulder injury. Even getting to that point was a sort of personal victory. I would love to go all the way down but my left shoulder just can’t tolerate it.
Been doing paused reps on all my pressing and holding the top of all pulling movements. Keeping my ego in check
Paused reps are super humbling. I like them for the same reason. Definitely a reminder that basics can be very difficult and take you really far.

WOW dude thank you for sharing this. I'm honored 🙏
Hang on let me just pause and think about this
This is the way to really get good at pullups
Agreed!
I've been doing paused dips for a few weeks now and man what a difference its been on my chest.
Heck yeah! Paused dips are no joke!
It's is so therapeutic to watch you workout. Wish you'd make a longer version I could just workout to

I agree, Carl! They are such a nice way to approach the reps.
You are my inspiration Borges, i aspire to be like you, your physique is outstanding, big up from Uruguay, Latin America
Please do more videos with dips. Your muscular mind connection is insane to see. It'll definetly inspire thousands of people including me.🤙💪
Going to start doing pause reps to shock my muscles.
They wont believe what is happening to them
@@brandonyoung4910 LOL.
like the reverb on the voice
HAHAHAHA! It's a low tech sound effect ;-)
As the channel grows, I'll definitely get some better gear for recording!
For me, paused dips finally get my chest hit.

I gotta try that bar stool dip technique. 👍
I've always been doing pauses on my weighted chin ups
Would you recommend doing body weight basics like this most days in a week? And if so, what kind of volume?
I would start at around 10-12 sets per week or so, and slowly increase volume over time. I prefer daily training, so, something like 1-2 sets 5-6 days per week is a great place to start.
That makes complete sense and thanks for the explanation. What is your view on release push ups please ? Many thanks
I think they can be a useful variation for sure, but probably not much more powerful than regular paused reps. The are certainly HARD though. Give them a shot and see how you like them and what they offer you.
I just do one rep and hold it as long as possible at the middle, top, middle then dead hang at bottom. Atm i do 20s at each phase of the pullup

First time though, I would say go unpaused reps. Then maybe add them in after a hard stall and see what kind of progress they can generate.
@@Kboges Thanks. I am trying to get to the 20 reps holy grail.

Hi Jake! I started the pull up program last week, how did it go? did you get all 20 pull-ups? Cheers!
Hi,@@drh77. How did the program go for you?

Which dip bar do you use?
gold
How would I incorporate this into a set? Like when should I be doing these paused reps
I cycle them in as a variation. I might do a month or two of paused reps. Then after that switch back to unpaused reps.
Would you say doing a body weight pull-up or chin-up if I can get 4 reps per set (I weight 270#) is better or worse than doing band assisted reps and getting sets of 10?
What height are your dip bars and where did you buy them?
May I know how many set you do per exercise?
If you have a daily rep goal, how do you fit harder variations into that as they may make it harder to achieve said reps. Due to the increase in intensity?
master the basics first thta takes awhile you can fit harder variations in when they others feel too easy but with passed you should listen to your body to see where you should place them
I think you would
Have to do do more sets of the harder variation to reach your daily rep goal. If it’s an easier variation, fewer sets.
same goes for weight lifting.
100% agreed
What state are you in? Thank you sir.
I was just thinking this
What parallette dip bars are those? Or do you recommend a certain brand?
thats not rly full range of motion on the dips
Sure but it’s as full ROM as I can go given my shoulder injury. Even getting to that point was a sort of personal victory. I would love to go all the way down but my left shoulder just can’t tolerate it.
