When I added 15 lbs of muscle mass through barbell stuff, I lost my leverages to do the pistol squat and handstand pushup, as well as being less mobile in the lats. The linkages for full gymnastic bridges and handstands also suffered and I have to earn those leverages back when the muscles got ahead of the tendons. This was a good reminder to keep an eye on relative strength alongside the absolute.
I’m 39 and have been lifting seriously since my early 20’s what I realised after so many years of experience is that I wasted probably about 12 to 15 years of gains. A lot of it was that I couldn’t get stronger in stuff I’d been doing for years because of weaknesses in neglected areas. What I say is don’t underestimate mobility and stability exercises. I’m finally working on weaknesses that I neglected for years and found how much easier a lot of lifts have become that I used to struggle with because of imbalances in my body from neglecting my weak stabler muscles.

Second what maeda said about your channel giving more quality content for free than any other chanel! Keep it up, its definitely appreciated 👏💪👏
I watched this during my workout today! Thank you, Daniel. You always so gracefully facilitate these interviews, and the quality of conversation is always so good. Thank you to Bill for sharing your wisdom. I'm almost 35, and really began taking my health seriously again the past couple years. Daniel has been a huge source of reassurance, problem solving, and inspiration. Particularly after years of working on my feet and the injuries that stack up through life. I really valued hearing from someone in his 50s, and I found a lot of affirmation for how I do things-- taking it slow, listening, the fact that sometimes you just need 15 min until that wrist is ready but you're not ready til you're ready! Also, Bill. Thank you for speaking to alleviating TMJ and neck/head pain. I realized a couple years ago I held so much tension in my throat, I had horrific tmj, and it often made me lose my voice. I'm adding in your recommendations! I'm glad Bill gave such high regards to Daniel. It was nice to see and hear, as a viewer, and praise be to quality free materials on the internet!! Cheers 🩵✌️
I’ve only been hooked up to Bill’s stuff for 6 months good to see Fitness FAQ’s is spreading the word.
I have learned so freaking much from this video that’ll have to watch it again. Thank you for all your advice about working out the center of your body
Really enjoyed this. Going to start doing the neck curls - just tried ten reps and it feels great. I get tension headaches and I am convinced that the vast majority of them for all people comes from a weak neck and/or a stiff upper back. A stiff upper back forces your neck into bad angles because it has to do most of the moving.
Didn't expect to listen through all of that, but I did and I'm glad. That was interesting, thanks.
That was very informative and inspiring. Thank you both for what you’ve done and continue to do for me. I appreciate it!
Great to see two great minds share their hard earned knowledge.
I love your content man. Much appreciated.
Been watching Bill for years. Solid bro
one of the best natural bodybuilder

Is TRT considered natural in today's world?

he's impressive for sure but it's completely naive to think at this age, being this lean, having this strength that he's natural. It's good old TRT (or some other compounds). Doesn't take away his dedication but I don't like people getting false expectations from this guy

Quality over quantity! Awesome interview, Daniel.
Love Bill! I too grew up with the plastic coated concrete wights. In my wet, leaky teen-era basement gym, the weights would absorb this moisture and the plastic would crack. Weed? Def a performance enhancer! Re: calisthenics being an honesty reset, so true! At 65 it took me 5 years to get there. Can do good full ROM on ATG goblet squats and dips but still chasing 10+ "perfect" reps with pull-ups. Great vid Daniel!
Great interview @daniel, excited to to the ugly work on this calisthenics journey
Thanks a lot for such a great podcast ☺️. It was a valuable talk and I learned a lot 😁
What I do for my neck, because I get severe motion sickness, is to take a band and tie it to a post. I then put the other end around my head and walk away from the post. Works great.
This guy was so cool and entertaining. Thank you, FitnessFAQS
The interview I was waiting for
30:20, doing really slow reps is also a way to make skills harder, like Michal Dobosz or Matteo Spinnazola are doing with really slow muscle up (over 1 min, bar, rings...). I have tried and it is so hard.
Great interview Daniel 👍 next up,Matt from Red Delta Project!?
Well said!

Bill Maeda!!! Dudeeee he is awesome

Maeda, what a name to have for a jiu jitsu practitioner! Wonder if he’s related to Mitsuyo.

I unlocked Pistol Squats by doing them on a hack squat machine. Slowly added weight until I could do them without the aid of the machine.
Wow, my first weight set was jc penny plastic cement set and a small tubular bench.
Someone drop some key takeaways from this... Great interview
You got Bill Maeda on? Awesome. 😎
When you train the front of your neck. Hold your tongue against the roof of the mouth. Feel the difference :) ( Tip from Tyson when he was in his prime doing neck training ) There are loads of little things in training that are so important but usually forgotten.
Awesome thank you
"Smoke a little weed and hit the weight room" instantly my favorite trainer.
I still have those dumbbells I bought back in 1979. I never cracked mine. I guess I wasn't working hard enough. 😊
much of what I heard here are heavily influenced from martial arts. This is really good top notch stuff he's sharing here peeps I would save/download this and learn from it if I were you
That was eye opening, thanks!
Finally a gentleman my age .
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Brice Lee the idol What a icon. 61 and I’m still looking to Bruce. Functional greatness🤩
Love this channel forever. Really like Bill too. I would say that I find the banner at the bottom distracting. The color doesn't help. Idk if it needs to be that big or opaque or in that place. I would like chapter titles, but perhaps they fade out after a bit?
Isometrics are absolute gold for strength and neurological programming. Bruce lee was 100% right about them and probably why he was so unbelievably strong. I wish i had not fractured my hand skateboarding or i would probably still be crushing 200 pound hand grippers like it was nothing. There is something refreshing about not training like everyone else is. Calisthenics are where its at.
Bill makes so many great points about connecting the neck and jaw, but it’s not the masseter and neck muscles that are key, it’s the tongue! Craniofacial development is dependent upon tongue posture and function as primary, then comes the connecting pieces he’s named here. Dr. Mew and Orthotropics have discovered this unique connection.
loved the ego stuff!!
Gymnasts , calisthenics , bodyweight training , isometric , yoga , boxing training, all were , the info was out there , . Yes maybe not promoted as much as bodybuilding was and still is ..
You have to earn the millimeter, that's some wisdom.
I agree Bruce Lee don't get the credit for a lot of things and he influenced most of us in the 70's.

it's really irrelevant to talk about workouts and training if your guests are on anabolic steroids. You should at least mention it in your intro if your guests take exogenous hormones, specially for a calisthenics channel.
