We BUILD strength and TEST strength in slightly different ways. (yes - perhaps with some exceptions!) Especially with bodyweight exercise, the difficulty difference between two progressions is often substantial. While we can make micro adjustments to ease this transition, it can often be demotivating if we have trouble going from, say, knee push-ups to full push-ups. The good news is that while our "gains" in ability aren't immediately obvious, we might still be making good progress! And the broader lesson that might apply to other strength training is that we don't always have to train at our 1RM. Working below it with a weight/progression we can do competently and safely that's still challenging can build long-term progress! There might be more I should add, but I'm talking with family at the moment. I can edit later - let me know if there's anything I can clarify! Have a wonderful day!
I wish all TH-camrs were like you. It's so demotivating hearing everyone say, "You're going to hate yourself for how slowly you make gains!" Just reading your comment that says, "we might still be making progress," is soooo motivating. Thank you.
Kid, you are helping this old lady so much. Just got your book a week ago. Could barely move after 40 squats. I will keep it going!! Thank you so much for keeping it simple and effective. Love your positivity.
Take it from a young man - 40 squats is damn solid! I could barely go past 25 last time I did them!😅 Keep it going and you'll be impressed by your progress. And the feeling of seeing what your body can do and how the hard work and discipline pays off is something people of all ages can appreciate and get stoked about
This guy has the ability to readjust his mindset to that of a beginner for our benefit. Most fitness influencers have forgotten what it was like just starting out.
I can’t say I’ve jumped in and started these kinds of exercises, maybe I will eventually but I love to watch you and your positivity and warm heart and I just love it.
Wait... that was pretty interesting. I was wondering about a similar thing lately. If I workout for 20 min and the workout is somehow tiring but I can finish it without many problems, does it mean it's not as effective as if I did a workout when I do faces and wonder if I can finish it? Where is the line? Sounds like the latter is better but is that so? Have a great day!

Love this dude! So positive. These shorts got a bum like me to start doing around 5 min very simple exercises a day and I have never done this! Thank you!
I might start doing one arm pull ups, I can't do a single one with only one arm but a great start would be to hold my wrist like this guy is doing. Would also love to learn whatever that first exercise is where he balances on the fence
Honestly, sometimes when choosing my weight I have to remind myself that although it might feel easy at first, after a couple of reps I'm going to start to feel the weight and struggle a bit so I should probably stick to the weights I feel comfortable carrying instead of going heavier (sorry if the wording is a little confusing, but tldr: chose a comfortable weight cause you'll start to feel it after the first set)
It's the idea of building strength for mass vs. endurance. People who want visiable muscles and the ability to lift something extremly heavy for a short amount of time build strength for mass. People who don't care about muscle tone/visability but want to be able to use a muscle as many times as possible with little fatigue build for endurance. There can be a mix of both but that's the simple difference between the two. I personally build for endurance because I snowboard. I'm using the same muscles every time with no change in what I'm "lifting" but I want to be able to do as many runs as possible. My muscles need to be able to withstand hours of riding with breaks only being the lift ride back up.
same here, except I'm *TRYING* to build for endurance.. I don't want to look muscular but I need strength, endurance and speed to improve in my volleyball practice.. I have the technique but I'm too weak to even pass a serve.. so, could u kindly help explain how to build for endurance but not mass? I just need a basic where-to-start.. thanks in advance
@arandomperson1795 what I do is more reps with little weights. I'm still using a max of 10 lbs for a lot of my exercises but like today for legs I did 3 sets of 10. For my arms I'll do 3-4 sets of 16. Before adding weights you want to increase reps and sets. I've been told 5 sets before adding weight but I think that can vary based on how many reps you do and how long you want to workout 😂
I saw an x-ray of the finger of a Chinese martial arts champion who could balance himself on one finger. The finger was deformed because it had been broken so many times over the years that he practiced balancing on it. So, I don't recommend that you consider balance yourself on one finger.
Interesting concept. I'd like to take a bit more of a "pure strength" approach to training and work close to maximum effort. This is a widely adopted practice in powerlifting, weightlifting etc, but more difficult with bodyweight training. I think the debate over "intensity vs. volume" goes way back to the '60s and '70s and guys like Mike Mentzer who tried to challenge the "spend all day training" common wisdom.
I think this is a good point and it's why I like to write long descriptions for Shorts when possible! "Pure strength" works closer to maximum effort, but I'd probably still differentiate your training weight with the maximum weight you could possibly do. Possibly even more so with Olympic weightlifting than powerlifting! I'm a big fan of intensity over volume myself! But I'd say there's a significant difference between the 3-5 rep range versus always testing a new 1RM (which is possibly going to have questionable form anyway). But yes this really was geared more towards some existing community members who were frustrated at not being able to move on to a new progression!
I went to college with a gymnast, he did the rings. I was learning BJJ at the time and he was curious having wrestled in high school how he'd do. That guy's strength was UNREAL. I was 6' 215lbs he was 5'10 150lbs and he was incredibly strong. Having really done bodyweight exercises he didn't lift he did bodyweight exercises. So to see this guy do the movements he does doesn't surprise at all. Calisthenics absolutely work.
Have faith in Jesus He is there for you and will heal you and your family. Stray away from all immoral evil sins and turn to Christ before it is to late. I say this out of the love of my heart remember this and Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, The son of God, He died on the cross for our sins and He gives us eternal life.❤️✝️Do great things through Jesus Christ.❤️✝️

Greasing the groove is great at this. If you want to get strong, try something that's hard once every 15 minutes to an hour about 7-10 times a day. Do not strain your body, it should be easy. Your body needs to build its neurological path ways in order for it to maximize the use of your muscular threads.
World marathon GOAT Eliid Kichoge is recorded as saying "I never do anything over 70% intensity outside of racing" I use the 70% rule for a lot of areas in life. It allows me to remain fresh mentally and physically while steadily improving.
What do i have to do to stop my knees from clicking? Whenever i do anything that includes squatting or bending my knees it would click all the time.. would this bring harm to my knees? need help ASAP
My best "achievement" was beating everyone in my hs class at chinup hang. I was about 70kg, there were 2 certainly fitter guys than me and a few more around my level, including a former pro calisthenics dude who was at most 60kg. I beat em all without going all out, pretty sure we went well over 2 minutes. Idk what that was about, i never trained holds specifically
Ok now I'm curious if a one finger stand is even possible. Bones are designed for compressive forces so that's good. But 100+ pounds all focused onto a point like half an inch in radius. Doesn't sound super feasible.
hey Hampton i’ve recently lost motivation in working out and i’d refer to all your videos before I stopped, what gives you drive to keep going and what should I do?
