I like your calm demeanor 👌🏽 when explaining these workouts. I comment a lot because I'm hoping it helps boost your ratings. Not a stalker or anything 😂😂😅
i appreciate it, and it really does help with the new youtube algorithm. way back when i first started working out an older gentlemen told me exercising is equivalent to meditation; during the exercise your mind is focus on one thing "your muscle burning" or your "technique". Because of that mindset shift its helped me stay calm during tough exercises and i've never gotten hurt since i'm so focused on doing the wright thing and using the correct muscles (knock on wood). i guess you could say it's leaked into my overall demeanor lol
Hi! I was looking for a home full body machine, and I found your review about the Mercy 988. I’m just starting my journey in to fitness with weight. I’m wondering if you can give me some tips of how to start and how to consume protein? I really don’t know where to start🙏 I love your videos🌟 thanks!
Hay Annie and thanks for taking time to leave a comment. Since you’re just beginning your journey starting every workout with 10 minute of cardio movement (I.e brisk walk or jog&walk or sets of jumping jacks), nothing intense just enough to wake your body up in case you’ve been stationary for a while. For your initial weightlifting, full body workouts are great. You’ll target most major muscle and the intensity isn’t high enough to leave you too sore. As you build strength and endurance you can try all lower body on one day then all upper body the next. For consuming protein the only advice is to not consume it as a meal replacement. I’m a strong believer that beginners don’t need supplements and should focus their efforts on foods they can eat to get the necessary nutrients for muscle repair and overall health & energy. Do some research on creatine I think it’s the best proven supplement with lots of evidence and no downside. Not to scare you but some protein with too good to be true advertising mix so many ingredients you can’t tell if the dosages are effective or if the manufacturer has contaminated protein (trace levels of ingredients you may not want) Also, make sure you research whatever supplement company you decide to buy from and make sure that they have data and evidence for the ingredients on protein. - I hope this helps you navigate. Happy Gains 💪🏿💪🏿
@@LegallySwole - I try to get into my home gym 3-4 days from Sunday to Saturday. But hard with work and family. Been also trying to meal prep Sundays so healthier options.
@@dr.kurtjohnson1791 ah yes that is a lot to juggle. I’ve also been looking at meal preps so we can save time so I can use the cooking time to workout instead. I’ve looked at preparing soups and stew for now and will probably add more later on. (Ultimate all in one meal 😂)
@@LegallySwole try a slow cooker. Toss in a much of stuff in the AM and then let it cook all day. After work meal done ready to eat. Sometimes I prepare them the night before and put in fridge. so all I have to do is toss it on the slow cooker and flip on the switch.
Amazon, they’re called fat gripz. Make sure you get the right size for your hand and don’t bother spending tons of $$ on an expensive model unless you’re really hardcore about increasing grip strength. The cheap ones does the same thing in my opinion
Yes and no; you don’t want to do the same thing daily if it’s high intensity for you. If you have a other kind of full body workout you can mix that with this. Ideally you want to let your muscle rest before doing the same movement again assuming your workout is intense. If it’s not intense you can do every day. Ex: if you’re doing 5 sets of back squat Monday, you’d be better off doing like a front squat with wide stance for more glute activation. Another alternative is doing 3 sets of squats at Moderate intensity daily.
@LegallySwole only about a month with just dumbells but recently got a home gym similar to yours. Thats how I found you vids by searching "home gym workout"
Follow the timer but I understand that everyone will need to rest at slightly different lengths of time so you can always pause if you need the extra time.
great video, great physic!
Thank you, I’m glad the videos are useful

Did this today while following along to the video. I enjoyed it. If I guy did this 5 days per week could you get into decent shape ?
I would suggest you do this 3 days a week. So every other day. And yes you will get in good shape. Do you track your workouts on a app or excel sheet?

@@dr.kurtjohnson1791 that’s a great idea. I’ll look up some recipes this week to try next week

thank you for the great workouts! Where can I find those gray grips on the pull bar?

Great vid thank you
You’re welcome, I hope the workout was challenging enough for you 💪🏿
Oh yea absolutely. I’ve been getting into cycling but wanted to compliment my cardio with some strength training and this kicked my ass 😂
@@dox1726 😂, that’s good to hear. I’ve been eye balling some road bikes myself.
@@LegallySwole nows the time to do it. They’re all super cheap since everyone who bought them during the pandemic is done with em
Hey can i do this daily and get into better shape?
Yes and no; you don’t want to do the same thing daily if it’s high intensity for you. If you have a other kind of full body workout you can mix that with this.
