    1 set a day full body is perfect for people that have a stressful life. I've tried everything and I'm gaining muscle way easier with this. If you can't eat enough food or get enough sleep don't even bother with conventional bodybuilders advice you will end up losing muscle and getting skinnier

    Sir, I started my push up challange 18 weeks ago. It's one set of push ups a day for a year. I started with 20 push ups which was my max and I am adding one push up every week. I'm at 38 push ups and going strong! I did not miss a day! Same with pull ups. I started with 8 pull ups and I am adding one pull up every 2 weeks. I'm at 18 today! I am just sharing with anybody that is sceptical about the results. My goal is 100 push ups in one set and it looks like I am gonna make it in 62 weeks from now! Like you said, all those tens of thousands of push ups will make a difference.. And amazing thing is that it requires olmost no effort and minimal motivation as it is after all a 30 second workout a day.. I do not even do push ups and pull ups in the same time of day.. So I practically do not work out but I'm getting very strong! I advise this type of routine for all of you that struggle with motivation and good habits. This will change your life!

    Your almost right, try a warm up set and an all out to failure every other day or two. You must give your body time to heal and grow before interrupting the process with more damage. The balance is the most important thing aside from going hard as you can every time and being sure to use proper form. Also, sleep is very important for healing and growing so prioritize going harder than last time, giving ample time to heal and grow ( I work every three days and it is amazing ), and sleep as much as possible when your trying to grow. Avoid heavy cardio as well.

      Been listening to Mike Mentzer and Arthur Jones for the past couple of weeks, and I've thought about the same thing you said.
      It also depends on how fast you recover, but every day might be too much. Everybody should test themselves and see what frequency works best for them.
      Also, I do not want to be a bodybuilder.

      @@AlexKanal11 Many things influence recovery. Good diet and enough sleep are the most important ones.
      If you stagnate, you can try with more rest or with less rest as sometimes stagnation happens when you don't "hit" your body with enough training. One set per day will not tax your body much and you can do it every day.
      Every type of training can and often does lead to a plateau. It is normal and then we need to find new ways to shock the body.

      nah, push ups are such low intensity it will only start to wear on your joints if you do 100 a day for like a year (not exact numbers but you get the point). physical arm muscle injuries are very rare from pushups, only if you massive push yourself beyond your limit when you're just starting out.

    Hi Coach,
    During your fighting days , did you do much weight training itself , or purely strength training through grappling and callisthenics?

    • @MMACoach79
      @MMACoach79  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Not so much during MMA competition days, but I did a lot of Olympic weightlifting exercises (clean, clean & jerk, snatch, back squats, deadlifts) + calisthenics, bench press, military presses and so on during my Judo days.
      But any time I did more weights and track than fighting training, my skills and combat conditioning suffered. Fight specific training is most important:
      If I was younger, I would do gymnastics instead of weights probably. Like GSP.

    • @MMACoach79
      @MMACoach79  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure, but even better would be to do all exercises (for all body parts) one after the other. Shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes depending on how much rest you take.
      For example:
      - 10 pullups
      - 20 pushups
      - 50 squats
      - 50 ab crunches
      - 100 back extensions
      This is a substitute for when you don't have enough time for proper training which is the best option.

    Actually you do more volume with 1 set maxed everyday, for me is 20-22 pullups so 140+ per week. If i try do 2x workouts of 70 ea in same week i wont recover, i tried also 3x week of 45-50 ea and i don't recover aswell. With 1 set per day i recover and do my right/physiological volume, don't forget frequency is powerfull too for your cns and nuclei dna adaption. I just do squats and calves in the morning, at afternoon pullups, dips and bent lateral raises (for not cook front delt i do them bent so almost only lateral and a few the rear are involved). 3 min in the morning and 10 in the afternoon are enough to make gym frequenters come to you at beach/pool for questions 😂

    Shouldn't work out your muscles every day. Not with heavy load. You're actually eating into their regenerating period and you actually won't grow bigger and stronger. Look up Jay Vincent. Or Mike mentzer. Do 8 reps, very slow, until failure, try one more rep, till you can't push or pull more at all, hold for a few seconds then slowly go back down. It's brutal. Only thing that's every got me very tight, super pumped and the most sore I've ever been. Amazing stuff. But working out every day is a no no. There is science behind over training, in that it's bad for muscle.

    • @thomasrichardson5425
      @thomasrichardson5425 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      every day i reckon, cos you're only doing 1 set you have 24 hours to recover. some bodybuilders do multiple sets to failure every workout, so doing just the 1 you can afford to do it every day.
      Also, the advantage of sets to failure is that if your muscles feel like shit and you can't do as many because they are recovering, your failure point will just be lower. If you do 20 push ups on monday but your chest and arms ache you might only be able to do 14 the next day. that's ok, because you're just adjusting your workout to fit the state of your muscles.
      the key is that it MUST BE FAILURE. i.e. "I cant do even one more fucking push up or ill fall on my face". that's the key to improving
