Vicious cycles in training are common; you work your butt off, make some progress, maybe get hurt or burn out, then double down with even more effort, and the cycle repeats. Before you know it, you are putting in more effort, trying harder than ever, but gains are coming slower and slower. I experienced this from probably the ages of 25 to 29 or so, and I was chasing numbers on barbell lifts that I thought would confer the adaptions I wanted (they didn't but that's another story). I was so enthusiastic about achieving my goal that in put in maximal effort, repeatedly, with very slow progress. It finally occurred to me that effort wasn't the problem, but the application of it. Taking a step back, and being smarter with how I applied my effort, allowed me to actually get in better shape with LESS effort, as I was more efficient with my training and injured way less. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
What boss did:
1. Be more targeted with effort
2. Do exercises that did not injure vs the ones that had already repeatedly injure
3. Focus on form and technique vs forcing to add reps or weight every session
4. Build goals around consistency vs outcomes
Basically physiological hygiene.
Perfect summary 🙏
Thank you
Screenshotted this 👍🏻
“Sometimes you don’t need a stronger breeze, but need to adjust your sail”. Great words of wisdom as usual
🙏
Kboges is a warrior monk and always has been 😤
Sometimes you neither need a stronger wind nor need to row harder, you just need to adjust your sail according to wind.
Bro whenever I start from deadhangs I can't do a single rep of pullups and when I start pullup from active hang I can do 2-3 reps
Rich DeVos of Amway Corporation created a speech known as the “Four Winds.” Very insightful about life. Nice chat. So are you between 45-50? Thanks. 69 here. One more point. Even though you had all the theory and education, you were still stuck in the old paradigm. It’s a crazy thing to see new gyms pop up and people continue feeding the beast of pain and physiotherapy. Oh well.
"Build goals around consistency instead of outcomes." Perfectly said!
Yeah that was a game changer for me. I thought “if I could train for 6 months straight without getting hurt, things would probably work out well. And it turns out it was right.
Definitely gotta write this one down
I really like this philosophy
@@MyNameIsNotCraig that quote just described 90% of all philosophy lol
Nowadays everything's about results, high productivity, setting ourselves like machines.
"physiological hygiene" - I've never heard of that term but that perfectly describes what i'm after. Thank you for finding the perfect words!
Glad it connected with you!🙏💪
Agreed trade mark that term
@@therealhossroot1032this is the problem with our society. all you all see is potential profit
Consistency will never betray you.
I love that. Spot on.
Well I have been stuck at around 280 lbs and I am very consistent.
@@MeadeFatLoss You're either lying to yourself or are being consistent in the wrong metrics.
@@graysonstephens it's mostly water retention
My rule #1: Get to the gym. Rule#2: Do not injure yourself. Rule #3 Get to the gym. I'm 63 and just got back from the gym.
Felt this one. Spent my 20’s on a constant cycle of back injuries doing the exercises/lifts I was “supposed” to do. Switched to this style of training in my last two years and have been injury free and stronger. Thanks for the constant flow of awesome info.
Yep! The idea of not doing the exercises that were wrecking me was so foreign at the time and it was really strange to let them go at first, but doing so was absolutely key to me moving forward with my health and fitness goals.
I’m currently trying to rehab a back injury and have for the past 2 years. What exercises did you avoid and what did you switch to? Of course I know everyone is different just looking for input
I’m 16 years old, and I’m happy I found you, but I wish I found you sooner.
You give simple, easy to understand, and straight to the point advice.
You are literally going to probably have me as one of your subscribers for a very long time because I have many goals to become physically fit…and you are the perfect person to help me and others get to our goals.
Thank you.
Very lucky to find this wisdom at 16! Take it all in

This is exactly my story! Tried to be a calisthenics athlete for about 6 years. Ended up with multiple injuries and hardly any progress from where i started. Took me 6 years to realise it aint gonna happen! The last 3 years ive just been doing minimalist bodyweight training for general health and fitness and ive been injury free the whole time. Im also looking and feeling better than i have done for over a decade
Yeah 100% when you are into training it’s so easy for your enthusiasm to outpace your recovery. Coming to terms with that is huge for progress.
I want to progress in body weight but I just going through the same exercises and I feel OK but can't hand stand or muscle up. I wonder whats the point other than the health benefits
Probably why Mike Tyson done so much body weight stuff, still looked like a beast.
@@leejohnson197733 Personally, muscle looks like a waste of time to me. It looks like it strongly encourages the use of momentum and changes which muscle groups you're using between each rep, which blows time-under-tension out of the water a bit (apparently TUT is somewhat important). Hand-stand looks perfectly do-able (plenty of video guides to it) but again not something I'm drawn to. Just basic strength training for me but gl with your goals :).
I'm coming up on 66 and am in the best shape I've been in for some time, simply because I throttled back to a moderate level of work versus that cycle of over doing it until injury, then back sliding into worse shape.
Doing 75-80% continuously will pay off better than 110% until you crash.
This is the best video you’ve put out to the community… in a world where everyone’s pushing and pulling to get super huge, to lift heavier, to spend more time in the gym - I continue to press forward with calisthenics and gymnastics training, optimizing longevity… to spend as much time as I can outside by the water and in the sun.
Keep it up!
I appreciate that so much!
That's exactly it; I'm so far past the point about worrying about being as huge as I can, and I'm much more focused on being healthy and capable so that I can be there for my family for as long as I can... and enjoying the journey. 🙏
"JUMP OFF THE HAMSTER WHEEL " This one singular quote speaks volumes!! Going from the ever popular " bro split" to now 2 full body workouts spread over 8 days has put my mind/body in the best shape i can be. YET ANOTHER TIGHT/ TRUE VIDEO
Yeah the hamster wheel is a real thing that we can get stuck on and it’s harder to get off than it is to keep going, so well done on making the right move brother!
How do you mean two full body days.
Do you mean you work full body on Monday,rest and again for example Thursday full body rest?
Sounds like 1 day full body workout, rest for 3 days then repeat to me
@mr.hoppelelefant2350 I used to to 3 days a week full body workouts no hard weights but I felt supper good and I always preferred not to complicate and to simplify my workouts and that simple split was way to go.
I would get irritated fast If I did bro splits or push pull in the past...full body was perfect for me
@@mr.hoppelelefant2350 CORRECT, MORE/ LESS, none lifting days i run...
Work has been busy and most weeks I'm working 6 days and sometimes 7 and currently i'm in the biggest slump with my training and overall fitness. It's been 2 months since i last trained and did my usual daily walking routine and guilt is there because i was very consistent for a good amount of time and now i've taken a pre big step backwards. This video's come at a very good time for me to steer me back into the right direction so thank you Kyle!
@@IasonasGiannosI've been there as well, 60 - 72 hr night shifts a week. What I did and still do today when time/energy is limited is 1 exercise a day and rotate between push, pull, leg variations. It's a good quick way to get some training in and be mentally satisfied.
Old and seasoned I can relate to this self-sabotage training pattern. Chasing outcomes in lieu of health, trying to out-train some bad habits, and a few times just giving up completely are part of my journey. It wasn't until I could no longer train for a long period due to a cancer surgery and treatment that I changed my attitude and philosophy on strength training. I am now grateful that I "get to strength train" and I will never take that privilege for granted again. Train smart, stay consistent and make sure you fully understand the stress-recovery-adaptation process and how it is the key to your strength journey.
The workout style you promote here has changed the way I train just as much as Arnold's book when I was a teenager. Can't thank you enough. Been doing it for a few months now. Love training more days a week for less time and just repeating the basics over and over. I throw in kettlebells too, but that's the fun of it just doing the basics over and over with slight variations has helped my kettlebell reps as well.
Hell yeah man, you've helped me break this same cycle. I'm doing 5 hard sets a day, push/pull/squat, one movement a day. I don't count reps, just try to make them as clean as possible. My motto is from you "consistency beats complexity". Thank you so much for the videos, greetings from Finland.
Well done! I couldn’t agree more. Consistency is KING!
can you explain your workout routine in more depth, and have you seen results?
@@crxshfiiwatch "An even simpler way to train?" from Kboges. I do 5 hard sets a day, every day. Pushups on day 1, pullups on day 2 and squats on day 3. Repeat. If I feel weak I do an easier day. I do different variations to keep things interesting and sometimes I add kettlebell swings and presses when I have the time.
My numbers have gone up, I have visible abs for the first time at 36 years old and my body feels great. Just focus on keeping your form as good as you can and go until your form breaks down. My plan is to do this every day for 2024 before even thinking about switching things up.
Hope this helps!
@@villeharju2207So are you doing different variations in those 5 hard sets or one variation per day?
I have also switched up my training quite a bit, following Kborges advice. Though I do full body thrice a week. One push, pull and legs exercise, max 2-3 sets.
I’m enjoying this training style and it’s very time efficient as well.
@@adityanilangekar1166 One variation a day. Today I did diamond push ups, sometimes I do them on yoga blocks to get a bigger stretch, sometimes I elevate my feet or do paused reps to make them suck extra hard. I'm planning to buy a weight vest in a couple of months to get even more variation.
Your training sounds good, let's both become masters consistency and technique, good things will come!
I feel like this is just great advice for life in general and can even be applied to something like learning how to give and receive love while maintaining healthy boundaries. Rather than forcing yourself to open up which can lead to a vicious cycle of being dissatisfied or hurt, which builds trust issues, put the effort that you put into being receptive towards listening to your own needs and inner cues. Idk if that resonates with anyone but I was just reading about this and it did with me. Cheers
New to your channel. In my 50's, trained on and off most of my adult life. Made every mistake there is to make. I can say categorically that you speak from a depth of experience. Subscribed.
Hey man, I am a 23 year old calisthenics guy, huge fan of your channel and this video just hits the nail in the spot. I have been obsessive with everything I am passionate about for years and I would always go through the same cycle, grind my ass off, get burnt out after 3-4 months and quit. I repeated this cycle for many years in calisthenics and all of the things I love, I developed many wrist pains while trying to improve my handstand strength as well.
After watching your channel you helped me learn what life was telling me all along: Sometimes less is more, resting is sometimes more important than actually grinding your ass off, sustainability is more important than just excessive effort that always leads to quitting and burning out.
Thank you so much man for your videos.
Great video! I’m 55 and can absolutely attest to the injury/recovery cycle of lifting. I too have prioritized & empathized form & full range of motion over ego lifts.
This video is absolutely legendary. This exemplifies the philosophy of Wu-Wei! I think personally, I’ve been struggling with where I want to go and I’ve been forcing things that I feel I should do but I don’t want to actually do. I know my heart lies in certain places and I feel like getting out of my own way is the answer and just having the ability to say, “ah screw it” and just go on with what FEELS right for me is what’s best to do. You only get one shot at it, so why not, right?
Take it easy brother 🤙 absolutely fantastic thoughts! I love the mix of philosophy you’ve been sprinkling in with the actual training footage.
The ideology behind this video is bigger, this is beautiful. I needed this. I’ve, often times, found myself lacking ground for me to grow upon. Struggling with giving myself the patience that I freely gift to others. Which cause me to be stay stuck in this never ending cycle of growth and burning out. Where does the sky start if there is no ground to show how far you’ve come? It seems I owe myself a gift. Thank you.
This video was delivered with divine timing. Thank you 🫡
I’ve been injured for 2 years. Because of exercising whilst still only partially healed. This is the best advice ever. I’m now going slow and gentle on the body. Thanks, K Boges. Every word here is gold.
Ahh I hope you fully recover and can get back to a sustainable approach. Keep me posted.
man i been watching you for prolly well over a year now and im still impressed with how clean ur form is
Thank you! I'm still working on it and I still have a long way to go, but I love trying to master the basics.
thank you brother. always refreshing to hear your perspectives. i am currently on the same path. focusing on the essential things without the extra bells and whistles. i like to look at it as training in such a way that serves me in the here and now but also prepares me for the long term. keep going. always appreciated 🙏🏽
Short, simple, and VALUABLE!. Top video
I always love how smooth and controlled the workouts are, just so satisfying!
This is great. Discovered your channel recently, your straightforward, no BS outlook is refreshing.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the support!
Im so grateful for your channel. I started calisthenics 4 or 5 months ago and the speed im improving for only training 3 days a week its incredible. Im in the best shape of my life, strict muscle up atchieved, can hold back lever for some seconds, wroking on stradle planche and handstand push ups atm.. couldnt be happier.
I started thanks to your channel and a few others.. but yours made me stop putting excuses and actually start training.
I followed that same pattern. Still recovering from injuries. Thankfully, because of your channel and a few others, I feel like I'm back on the right path to healthy habits and good progress. Sometimes less is more and sustainability is the key.
That’s good to hear! Yeah making the changes can be tough, even when they are for the best. But the payoff is huge.
Guys... I'm 50 years old and I do only calisthenics... I look like a bodybuilder... big and strong and my workouts are always joy to me because I never train to failure... you simply don't need.... even as an advanced athlete.... training to failure has its place and useful but you DON'T NEED!!!... I never turn my workouts into cortisol bath, CNS frying, injury prone, hormone disrupting all pain stress sessions... I do pull ups dips and push ups of all kind... perfect reps 3 x 12 is all you need.... No matter what you do you will grow... it's not you will grow or not... it's how easily and happy smart way you keep your CONSISTENCY... it's a life long game, so please don't hurt your body, your mind and your health....
well said! I love this message, brother. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
How many days a week do you train if I may ask
@@ronald7482 I'm writing this for all lost souls in the universe of volume, intensity and frequency... As a calisthenics athlete and an occasional weightlifter training for over 4 decades, I will give you the most important tips that, unfortunately, many people, especially the young dudes, NEED TO learn from trial and error suffering pain, regret and loss of health/injury...
Calisthenics is all about increasing reps and doing a harder variation...
First, you need to decide what you want. If you want to have a decent muscular good looking and reasonably strong body, calisthenics is all you need. Push ups, dips, pull ups and rows have the perfect intensity tailored by God to build your body... DO NOT doubt it.
Form is everything.... do every rep in nearly perfect form... eccentric/concentric full ROM slow reps (not too slow... time under tension TUT is bs... just do your reps in good form with full range of motion)
You CANNOT build your chest without Push ups... no matter how strong you are, always add regular push ups to your routine...
You never need to train to failure... training to failure comes with a lot of costs, if you want to have an all around healthy young body, (hormones, CNS, brain, joints etc) never train to failure...
Do your exercises as 3 sets... reps should be equal in all 3 sets... if your max Dips is 20 perfect reps, DO NOT ever do 20 reps in a single set... instead, do 3 sets of 12 with 1 min rest between sets... this will KEEP your capacity to do 20 reps while keeping you fresh and healthy... You don't need to run a marathon to be able to run a marathon... Never test your endurance or strength... you simply don't need... increase your reps like 13 - 12 - 12... and then 13 - 13 - 12... slowly...
Over time add harder variation... don't do a lot of volume...you dont need...
If you can do 3 x 15 with 1 min rest between sets, definitely KNOW your max is over 30 in a single set...
Do 3 full body sessions a week... A lot of people will oppose this, HOWEVER, I will write again... Do 3 full body workouts a week... your body is a whole unit and muscles are the fastest recovering parts of this system... your brain, CNS, internal organs, joints etc also NEED OFF DAYS...
Your workouts should be fun... do not exhaust yourself... you can rest 5 min between exercises but always rest 1 min between sets... if you rest more, this means you are training to failure style which will lead to a lot of issues including overtraining...
CONSISTENCY and PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD are what matters... over time slowly add reps to your sets (don't go over 12 or 15 reps... there is diminishing return... if you can do 3 x 12, KNOW that you get 95 percent of everything that exercise can give you...
If you do your reps in perfect form, know that you are very strong... you can add weight to your exercise and BE READY to get surprised that your reps even almost don't drop down... (this effect is caused by perfect reps... so do your reps in perfect form...
That's it... good luck and always have fun...
@@ronald7482I'm writing this for all lost souls in the universe of volume, intensity and frequency....
As an advanced calisthenics athlete training over 4 decades, I will share my tips, unfortunately, most guys, especially young dudes, tend to learn the hard way by suffering pain, regrets and health issues...
Basic calisthenics exercises are all you need to build strong muscular body... (I'm 90 kg 200 lbs)... push ups, dips, pull ups and rows have perfect intensity to build muscle tailored by God... So Do not DOUBT calisthenics...
Form is everything... Do your reps in perfect form. Slow controlled eccentric/concentric full ROM all the way up and all the way down reps... (not too slow... TUT time under tension is BS... just do your reps in good form)
NEVER train to failure... training to failure comes with a lot of costs including overtraining, hormone disruption, health issues, joint issues etc...You don't need to train to failure to build muscle...
Do every exercise 3 sets with min rest between sets...if your max dips is 20 reps, never ever do 20 reps in a single set.. instead, do 3 sets of 12 reps with 1 min rest... this will keep your capacity to do 20 reps without any adverse effects of training to failure... you will be fresh and healthy and happy...
Keep your reps even... and slowly progress... do 11-10-10... and then 11-11-10... don't go over 12 or 15 reps...there is diminishing return... if you can do an exercise 3 x 12, KNOW that you get 95 percent of everything that exercise can give you....
Slowly add harder variations.. never quit regular push ups... no matter how strong you are, YOU CANNOT BUILD YOUR CHEST WITHOUT PUSH UPS... so do your 3 x 12 regular push ups...
If your reps are in slow good form, Be ready to get surprised that when you add weight to your exercises, your reps even almost do not drop down... this is the effect of doing your reps in slow good form... So do your reps in good form and embrace the strength it gives... (You don't need to add weight to your exercises...I simply don't)
Do 3 full body sessions...Most guys will oppose this... again I write.. Do 3 full body sessions a week... Your body is a whole unit... not a puzzle pieces of muscle groups/body parts... your brain, hormones, internal organs CNS, joints etc.. all NEED OFF DAYS... Whatever Split you do, you will grow... that's why Split Tribes fight each other for decades... they all work... BUT... if you want to grow your muscles in a healthy, happy, easy, consistent way without breaking/quitting/overtraining/crashing... Do 3 full body workouts a week...

Thanks bogeyman. Been doing your routine for 6 weeks now and am having fun with it. Did my first pull up the other day which was cool. I like the simplicity and that it leaves enough time for me to fit in some cardio most days. Works well with being a new dad as well!
I know everyone in the gym knows my routine pull ups, dips, push ups, and squats all body weight 5 rounds. I've had repetitive stress issue in the past from always trying to eke out my max. But at 58 I've learned ,I always stop shy of about 2-3 reps in the tank, mobility drills on "days off".This has kept me injury free and consistent. Listening to you reinforces that, thank you for the motivation sir !!!
Your words definitely resonant with me. I have re-prioritized somethings regarding my routine. One of the things higher on the priority list now is recovery days. I work around several injuries and I'm pushing 60, so it's more important than ever.
I love that your videos are not too long. Straight to the point❤
I appreciate that! I try to keep them short. When I watch TH-cam, I like the creator to get right to it. 😂
It makes perfect sense bro , I m so glad you brought this up.... In the analogy of effort and gains it's pretty simple but in many other aspects of life I get told by friends just to chill out and everything will work for something will work out.... I want you to give it all I have got to make @000% out of life and I want to choose strategies that are the biggest bang for my buck BECAUSE I know what I m capable of and I want to squeeze it all out of life....😅
This one hit deep and relates to many facets of my life. Great words, brother!
Absolutely brilliant and yet so very simple.
Thank you! I’m happy you enjoyed🙏
As always, great points. As I'm emerging from an injury, your words ring true.
Very well said!! 👏
For those who have never learned this on their own, this may be some of the best training advice you’ll ever get. For those that have experienced these truths, an excellent reminder!
Listening to your videos, I do not only appreciate the content, but also the form; your speech is just so clear, straightforward and articulated. Great mind it seems✌️
Wow, brother. That is exceptionally kind. Thank you for the positivity and support. 🙏
Great advice! I applaud your honesty. I too trained hard and heavy putting 2-3 hours in the gym to only receive marginal gains with injuries along the way. Now I'm 52 years old and trying to find a place where my gains are positive and injuries are a thing of the past. Your videos and advice have helped me along my journey. Thank you!
i'm 25 and want to lose weight and get in shape this year more than ever, been completely sober the last several days on top of eating less/healthier food. thank you for these videos, you get straight to the point and give great advice that a younger person like myself can apply and hopefully avoid getting stuck in bad cycles. so again, thank you man!
Dude that is awesome. Quitting drinking and eating healthy/real food are game changers. It’s hard to overstate what these can do for your health and physique. Keep at it bro and keep me posted on your progress. Next time we chat, I would love to hear about how you are crushing your health and fitness goals.
Really solid, timely advice.
This gem really hits close to home for me. Currently on yet another one of those injury recovery cycles that have become way too customary for me.
Love it, you're crushing it! You're 30 is my 40 but as long as we learn it's worth it. You look great dude, and that pull up form is pristine! All the best in 2024
Exactly man, it's all just about the journey and learning a long the way.
Thank you for the kind words, brother! Best to you as well! 🙏
Great video K Boges!!!! I’ve definitely been focused on this🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother. I totally feel you on this one. This has been my life as well/fitness wise. Once again your content is second to none and highly appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, dude! I truly appreciate that. Thank you for the kind words!
Im turning 31 and had three separate injuries last year as I did too much too soon every time. This video was a god sent and will now start a slow and steady journey into building the physiological hygiene as you rightly put :)
An amazing message everyone can implement into their/our lives. Great content. Thanks
Beautiful and to the point! I really appreciate that you touch on psychological part of training! It can't be said enough that we need to have a mindset that doesn't allow frustration to fester in us, because that can poison and sabotage what is supposed to be a lifetime journey! Love this channel
That’s very well put, neddy! Thank you for the kind words and support!
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. It was really helpful and needed to balance out the constant and mindless grind that other channels, who don't care much for longevity, usually preach.
I’m so glad to hear that! I don’t usually like talking about myself but I figured this would give some context to my approach.
Excellent, your words mirrored my experience during the past 4 years, the past 11 months I've been literally applying the same wisdom, seeing amazing gains and feeling better too.
Thank you for this video ❤
Absolute gem of a channel 🔥
Man. You are doing a great service❤
Like many others - This is the exact situation I feel I've been in the past couple years. I appreciate the short videos you put out and this reminder to be conscious about the efforts I put into training!
Wiser and older, I figured a lot of this out, but you did it a lot sooner.
This really insures your credibility!
I'm goign through this in business right now and also at the gym. Thanks for sharing and laying this out.
Brilliant!
I must admit, shamefully, that it's actually refreshing to know someone as intelligent as you have stumbled into similar setbacks in the quest for improving health.
There was a time when I would beat myself up for this type of repeated behavior.
Over time, it does seem to be self sabotage! There are methods to combat this.
Excellent forward-thinking advice, Kyle! 💯🔥💪🏾
Totally. Dude it's crazy when I think back on it, and sometimes I literally think it was because my brain wasn't full formed 😂 Now it seems to obvious and clear to me that what I was doing was absolutely idiotic... but I guess that is what it means to be young and stupid 😆
Kyle, I'm currently watching all of your videos and trying to watch in order. I came across your 3 years old video, it was about "high reps, size" etc. I made a comment below it few days before. But after watching this I totally understand your core idea and why you choose this path. I am 46 years old, I have a lots of experience on these topics as well. So, I totally agree with you right now. I love your unique style too. Keep it going. Respect.
Thanks, dude! I appreciate the views. Yeah my body feels much better with higher reps. When I lived heavy, I always felt like I was in a train wreck. I know people vary, so ultimately you just do what feels best, but this is what has worked really well for me.
A little inside look at our boy Boges. Even our mentors can deal with set backs. Let this be a reminder for us all to continue striving towards achieving the fitness goals we’ve always known we could attain.
🙏
This is the most insightful and timely advice I've had in a long time. Thanks, pardner!
Ah thank you, Kristian! I appreciate that. I'm happy to hear it connected with you.
This is exactly what I'm going through. Just needed to change gears. Thanks for the affirmation.
Thanks K boges!
Thank you, huhhuhhuh!
I've been reaping this benefit recently. Earlier would have been good, but I'm glad I'm here now. Carrying a basketball and either a kettlebell or heavy club out the door with me in the morning and using them before I get home has increased my consistency. During barbell training I end sets not based on the max I can do that day, but instead based on how much I can recover from over the following 2 days.
The cycle you described is literally the cycle that i have experienced since, 2014 till now, i recently hurt my wrist lifting, anyway thank you for your work, you seem to make videos that help out mentally as well ! thanks to your work and Ben Patrick Knee over toes guy's , I have actual hope that at the age of 30 I will be able to make a return to parkour, and more. I used to tell people that i want to be 120 yr old hiking inclines, (i know 120 yrs is outlandish) but what i am saying is that an old age I want to be mobile and strong!
Thanks for sharing. I'm a 30 year old runner who has also spent the last 5 years in that same vicious cycle of injury, recovery, and overenthusiastic training. The injuries keep getting more complex and I don't have much to show for it. Not sure what's next for me, but I will definitely keep this video in mind for guidance.
Always inspiring brother
Thank you, bro. I'm happy to be helpful in some way.
Exactly what I needed to hear. Pure wisdom, and highly appreciated from myself.
Thank you, brother! Glad you enjoyed 🙏
That pull up form is excellent 👌🏼
Wow, K boges that's one of the best videos on fitness I've seen and I've seen a lot for a long time ! Very very good advice
Beard game on point. Thank you for the videos man, they always make sense.
Hahaha thanks man!
As always hearing your words at the right time and feeling that I'm on a good, and better, consistent path since 2020. Greasing the groove yo!✨
Heck yeah, brother! Stay with it!
Thank you brother!
Peace and props from the Netherlands!
Bedankt!@@loueast81
Yep, you pretty much summed up where I have been / am right now. Using this video to bring me forward 💪 Thank you
I hope it does, my friend! Keep me posted on how things go!🙏
Thanks for these words of wisdom and inspiration!
It's my pleasure Thank you for watching!
Never miss a video, good wisdom
Thank you!
For about a couple months I've come to understand the importance of consistency but still found it hard to put into practice, this video was greatly made and helped me gain some space from my stuck mindset. Allowing consistency to elevate your goals and push you is one of the best things you can do.
You can see the back evolving from set to set. Great muscle mind connection also information. This helps, have a wonderful day 🙏👍
I love these stories where a man gains wisdom and applies it as they live. It’s what life is ALL about. Beautiful story brother , thanks for sharing with us.
Crucial content. Thanks 👍
The Legend uploads again. Awesome video, thanks again Kyle
Thank you, Jack!
i started watching you at the time when i couldn't even do a pull up or dips,now i can bang around 10pullups and 20+ dips
thanks alot for sharing a lot of valuable knowledge
My gosh, brother! This is freaking awesome! Well done, my friend. Keep at it and keep me posted on your progress.
the sailing analogy is spot on
Glad that one connected🙏
I feel exactly exactly the same way with my training.
And I love that Hamster Wheel Metaphor and what you said about "Physiological Hygiene".
I subbed. Great thoughts, boss.
New subscriber here. I am 29yo this month. I'm struggling with university exams and with my workout routine. I have been doing the classic bb gym workout for years, lift weights, bench press, squat and so on... After the pandemic, I bought some stuff for my home gym but feel stuck on same exercises. No gains, no motivation, a sense of unsatisfactory, a desire to go to basics. Now I'm starting to take care of my mental health and trying to take things easier. And starting to do daily basic calistenics workout, push ups, pull ups, squats, lunges, stretching. No more. Focusing on the basic in workout and life.
Thanks for the video.
Good to hear. Keep it simple, keep it consistent, and everything will fall into your place. It's amazing how a simple exercise routine can help you both physically and mentally. Just focus on the practice and before you know it, you will have a trail of positive experience in your wake.
Good luck on your exams, and happy birthday.
Loving the channel.. so glad I found it!! Wishing you all the best of success!!
Thank you, mrpickle!
Great advice, Kboges. Actually for all areas in life. I've come to this conclusion recently for a few professional goals.
Same. I find a lot of deep truths to be universal in that way.
You are inspirational intellectually and physically. Rock on.
I haven't worked out since September and am just getting back into routine again and this is my exact mindset now. Focusing on good consistency with good effort over trying to do more each session just for the sake of it.
It truly is where it's at. It took me WAY too long to figure that out, and once I did, everything fell into place.
I’ve never stopped ever since starting since feb last year
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Great Advice brother , thank you 🌟
Thank you, Bodhidharma!
Great post
I feel happy by the time you post a those gold videos. We gonna keep grinding till death. Long life G
Exactly right! We stay with it until the end!
Hi Kyle, man! Every video you do is excellent and this may be some of the best advice yet! At 52 this really hits home. I’ve done so many different types of training over the years. Would go all out and totally phase out. Found you and Al K. a couple years ago and as you said “point your sail in the right direction”. Would love for fitness and health seekers in their 20s and 30s to listen and absorb this advice.
Oh man that's so cool to hear! I'm happy you have found the content useful, Derek! I truly appreciate all your contributions to the community, as well. You are a great voice to have on there and your posts are always well thought out and very smart. I appreciate it, brother. Thank you! 🙏
@@Kboges much appreciated, Kyle. All the best to you.
Makes perfect sense, thank you!
One of my Favorite Channels! *Simple* & Concise..😍
Thank you! That is so cool to hear. Thank you for the support!
Truth! Too Bad the Fitness industry is filled with Drugs & Liars everywhere. Keep doing what your doing!! Love it. Your Health & Fitness is Real & Unparalleled!! 😁
I agree. I am not a fan of the fitness industry at all, despite being a part of it (though I try to not be a "part" of it). @@SuperWilliam2424
More great advice that I needed to hear. Thank you!
Happy to hear that, heapner!
