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!

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!

This guy just makes me smile

The way he said "have a beautiful day" was so wholesome.

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)

Mommy this auntie is moving strangely 😂😂😂

Don't underestimate his Strength 💀

This guy moves around like a machine 🔥

You're such a beautiful guy, in and out, and there aren't so many of those.

I like how you make me feel OK that I can't even do a pull up and still want to work hard

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.

This man just shat on every fitness influencer out there😂

Casually flexing on the internet, while calmly encouraging viewers! Class act! All the way!!!!

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.

@jessierabbit

@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 😂

Makes sense to me!!🔥🙌🙏🏽

Carrying mom's groceries is the ultimate way to test strength

It's good to do both. That makes it a lot easier to know when it's time to move to a harder variation or add more weight.

He talks smoothly while pulling up so easily😅😅

Interesting and good points! Thank you!

Much success and health to all. We enjoy your channel.

Great channel.

Hampton casually doing a one arm pull up is crazy

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.

The fact that Hampton owns a dumbbell feels like a bit of a betrayal.

I like this guy, this guy is nice

I never got as far as a 1 finger push up when I was younger, but as a spry 13 year old, doing karate, we did 2 finger push ups. One finger and thumb on each hand.

"*pretends to be a plane* weeeoooooowww✈️" lol 😂

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.

@HybridCalisthenics

11 ай бұрын

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!
