​. Personally, I don't feel obligated to ONLY bodyweight in squats. I've been very gradually adding weight as my knees permit, to avoid exactly the problem you describe. Currently using a 40-lb kettlebell for a pyramid rep scheme up to 14 (168 total). I doubt I'll ever be able to squat heavy again, but if an extra 40 pounds of fat would still count as "bodyweight", why not 40 pounds of iron? 😁

Each day I do 3-4 rounds of push/legs/pull/abs close to failure, also rotating the angles of each exercise group (e,g., push-outside, push-down, push-inside, push-up, then back to push-outside…). Before this routine I could really only handle pull-ups about once every 4-5 days. Now I can do some pull-up variation three or even four times in a week, alternated with rows and lat pull-downs.

I don't think this is a reasonable position, and I think 90% of guys can be sub 15% with minimal intervention provided they adopt some generally healthy habits. If most guys stopped drinking alcohol, gave up 90% of the processed food they ate, got 10k steps a day, ate a gram of protein per lb of BW, and got 10-20 sets of resistance training per muscle group per week, most would easily be between 10-14% without having to diet down. That's an athletic BF percentage that is attainable by most people with good habits. If you want to maximize growth and strength, or play a sport that requires a greater BW, then yes, letting BF go up into bear mode makes perfect sense.

And as you said, some pretty simple lifestyle changes and routines can make that shift without having to become super hardcore obsessed with "being shredded" and counting every calorie or being on the treadmill all the time and being caffeine dependent. I think a lot of guys around 18 percent never even give it a good fair try to be 12-14 percent because they hear guys online warn against getting super lean (8 percent or so) somehow the message get's lost in translation. you can likely be 12-14 percent and look noticeably better and maybe feel a lot more confident etc. without having to get to 10 percent or less. there is a middle ground there, it's a shame the topic is so polarizing these days.

This is actually very useful for judging your energy levels and injury potential during a workout. You can decide at the end of a circuit whether or not to progress to the next. As long as you're honest with yourself, you can push yourself at the right time and hold yourself back at other times to prevent over training on that day. I have found it very useful for that exact reason versus straight sets.

Hey Kyle! How much rest time would you recommend between pull - push exercises for it to be efficient as you mention but also time effective for a fast workout? Thank you so much for your channel and the precise info, it really is inspiring and motivating to have complicated info summarized the way only you do

Hey Kyle, thanks for yet another great video. I appreciate your content a lot! In quite a few of your videos you'll superset your pull ups and push exercises and then do the high-rep lower body sets at the end. In these upper body super sets, how much time are you leaving in between exercises *within* the superset? (I.e. supersetting pull ups and push ups. Say 2 mins rest at the end of the push ups and before the next super set. But how long intra-superset?)

Always great content. I remember clearly about a year and a half ago I took my car to the mechanic, and I had a two hour wait ahead of me. I went to a nearby park where there are pull up bars and parallel dip bars. I did combos of near failure pull ups and dips with a bit of walking in between sets. I “felt it” the days after, and since then it has become a habit to do a workout like that every two weeks. Great video as usual! Thanks!

Hey! Due to time I tend to do 3 quick/supersets of pull ups, weighted squats and push-ups. I go full ROM, with a pause, to failure. Reps are kind of low due to this.

Does this seem like a good plan or am I totally missing the mark? Any help is appreciated. Love your channel. Best there is.

Wonderfully comprehensive. How long should my rest periods be? I usually do 30 secs for circuit and 1 min if I'm doing the same exercise? I try to train to max without form being compromised on any of the sets. I might do 15*3, however I might not be at max in the first set but by the last one my form would be on the verge of breaking

I find circuit training to be a great way to change things up from time to time and is definitely a more fun approach to tradional cardio. While not the best for muscle building I think it really helps in getting better to handle doing high rep sets as it works muscle endurance which is a benefit to building muscle as you can go further to working towards failure. Also when done right they can be a great workout if your stuck for time. 10-15 mins is all you need if done right.

Great video as always. Just to clarify in practice: for example I would do a set of pull ups, then rest 5 mins (HR goes back down, I feel rested), set of push ups (3 mins rest), set of squats (2 mins rest), then again pull ups (maybe 6 minutes of rest this time), etc. Does it matter that the rest times would change - or is my own ability to replicate my close to failure effort the most important factor in getting "the growth benefits"?

From a purely hypertrophy standpoint I agree however the high rep bodyweight circuit is a powerful tool for building conditioning/fatigue resistance and the high round approach will definitely initiate some growth, mainly in the back, when you’re repping out 150-200 chin/pull ups. That way you can get the best of both worlds however like you say, it’s not particularly time efficient and is quite the grind. Crazy man. Even when I don’t fully agree with you, I still find myself agreeing with you.

@Kboges

100%! I don't disagree at all! Maybe I can give a bit more context to see what you think... I look at these are different tools for different jobs. Yes you can drive a nail with a screwdriver, but it isn't the best tool for the job. Circuits are KING for conditioning, and I use them as such. I look at any hypertrophy from a circuit as a great byproduct of the conditioning, but it's not a primary tool I would use to develop hypertrophy. For about a solid year I did a minimum of 100-200 pull ups a day in a circuit with push ups, and squats. My conditioning was insane, but I didn't actually grow as well as that rep count would indicate, like when I did fewer hard sets close to failure, which makes sense from the physiology. The other issue I ran into was elbow tendonitis at that volume. So it was like if I used to circuit for hypertrophy, I had to expose myself to a total rep count that was likely going to give me golfer's elbow. I could get a better growth response with fewer total reps. Both work great, just different approaches for different goals, each with a blend of tradeoffs.

@@Kboges agree with that 100% brother, particularly the “blend of trade offs” which sums up the lens I seen your video through.

Hi ! I've been doing cindy wod with a 20kg vest nearly everyday for 8 weeks. I'm feeling like i'm getting stronger. It feels like a good mix between conditioning and calisthenics workout as the "sets" geting harder and harder. Am I right or is it a thing ? Or is it better to do hard sets everyday since the time commitment is similar ? Thanks for your videos and keep doing well !

What do you think about using dip bars that can be adjusted higher to do sort of a seated pull up? I don’t have anywhere to do a pull-up

Depends what you try to get out of circuits. Recently I implemented circuit type of training because I want to work on my cardio but I'm way too tired after a training session to do cardio, so circuits are very helpful. For example I don't circuit very hard exercises like pull ups, push ups to failure, or bench and deadlift, but I do circuit accessory movements because I've noticed even if I'm out of breath, I can reach failure on them and progress.

Hey, your heels lift up at the bottom of your squat. Put your feet on a slight incline facing downwards or place something like a thin book under your heels to lift them up or even on the edge of your patio. You'll get a deeper, stabler squat, really helps with overhead squats too.

he is doing a variation that is Quad dominant not necessarily because he has bad ankle mobility. it's totally okay plus he gets to also challenge his toes

I used to do normal sets & reps. But honestly, Circuit training got me my best physique ever. pushups Diamond pushups Dips Decline pushups Diamond pushups Pullups 8-15 reps. 4-5 rounds. Once i was able to get to 15reps for all excercises. I added a 10kg weight vest then went back down to 8reps. Once i get to 15reps on all excercises with that weight. I’ll add 5kg more. Rinse & repeat. This way the excercise literally can never get too easy and hypertrophy will always be a given.

hey boges, have you made a video about supplements, specifically creatine?

Have you ever experience sternum pain? And what is your advice?

I agree with this one Mr. Kyle, I used to do circuits before but I am still in the analysis-paralysis phase because I'm thinking critically if does just regular push up and pull up is enough for arm muscle growth? If yes, then I will stick to this routine forever, with some leg works

If these are enough for your arm growth is going to be very individual based on your genetics and aesthetic goals. The only way to know is to try it out!

Great Video as always. I have a important question though: Im a Beginner and i can do maximum 5 Pull ups with good form but i can get like 12 reps on a bodyweight row. Should i focus more on the row or should i train Pull ups with some resistance bands to get in more reps on the pull up. My goal is to build my back and get those pull up numbers higher.

@Kboges

At this point prioritize the row over the pull up. You can still do body weight pull ups for submaximal sets, but you are not going to need a large volume of them. Devote most of your volume to the row and periodically test your pull ups.

It depends on the individual, the rep range, and the exercise. I would say rest as long as it takes so that the next exercise is not negatively affected by the previous one. That could be a minute for some folks, or it could be 3 if you did a really intense set that had a high metabolic demand that left your breathless.

Hi Kboges. I just want to ask if you think that ring face pulls are effective for asthetics and a bit more side delt? To me they seem to hit them very good. For front and rear i think pushups and pullups/rows are enough but my side is still lagging.

Hi Kyle! I’m not a beginner but I would just like you opinion on what the appropriate rest time between sets/ exercises is. I am currently working on 4 exercises with 1 minutes rest between exercises and 4 minutes rest at the end of each round for 4 rounds and have had good results. I am not huge but just look a bit athletic which suits me

that's good. 60-120 seconds between exercises is good

Love the concise, but informative videos. I don't like circuits. I much prefer straight sets close to failure and have seen my best results by following this method. I found some exercises needed an extra set, some fewer sets. It's all about finding the balance between intensity, volume and difficulty. But for me, it was consistency that really did it.

Hi Kyle, how do i know what my daily volume target is? Because i struggle to find the right balance between intensity and volume, hope to hear from you ✌️

Supersets are very taxing on cardiovascular system. It is great if you’re short on time though. From my experience taking 3 minutes rest from a failure set is the best for hypertrophy

I rarely train to failure, but I will do some pretty high effort BW squats. Constant tension, slant board, and a weight vest, can get most people's legs pretty smoked without having to use a heavy weight.

@@Kboges thanks! For the focus of this video (build muscle with circuits), can you suggest an optimal rep range for the squats?

Great video thanks Kyle, one question is there any benefit doing this circuit fashion will full recovery rather than just push then pull then squats in “normal” fashion. With full recovery you’re not saving time nor are you building in a cv factor. Maybe just for a mindset change ? Thanks.

@Kboges

Жыл бұрын

Yeah! I think the benefit depends on context. So for instance, if you crank out a really high rep set of pull ups, you might find your cardio taxed to the point where it will negatively affect performance on dips or push ups, in which case a longer rest is going to be much more beneficial. As you get stronger, your ability to tax your physiology increases, and you are likely to benefit from longer rest between sets, but it depends on the rep range and your conditioning. Great to hear from you, Steve! 🙏

@@Kboges many thanks Kyle, I tend to use sled or rowing machine for cv and exercises for strength although I’m still guilty of rep counting and going to high in reps rather than increasing the difficulty. 67 next month so not getting any easier. Regards from England.

Can we do body weight pushups pullups squats each on alternate days.. without any rest

Ok so from my understanding you take a pull up for an example and take it to near failure then recover then you switch to a push up take it to near failure again and recover. So what i take from this is that your able to push a muscle hard and not hender the performance for the other exercise.
