Are those barefoot shoes I have the vivo barefoot primus lite iii love em
Yes they're vivo sandals
Weider claimed he came us w/ pre-exhaustion, but who knows? One thing I will tell you were I wealthy I'd have all the Nautilus pre-exhaustion machines in my home gym.
I see you're a Maxwell guy.
Are you familiar w/ Cpt. of Crush grippers?
🎯👍
Great job!👍 And thank you for not using the term "mechanical" drop set".
Keep moving and enjoy❤
Helpful video. Great work as always, John.
Thanks, glad you like it 👍
@@johnmetcalfecoaching Why did you go with this model versus the Ivanko?
I like this stuff! Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you liked it
I love my forearm forklift and thanks to you Steve Maxwell and Drew Baye for introducing me to it.
Yes, they're an awesome piece of traing kit!
Always enjoy your TSC videos.
Thanks, I'm stoked you like them
Thank you so much for posting this video. They way you jog makes me smile. I used to run a lot. Now cause of many stress my cortisol is very high. When I run a few km my hear rate goes sky high and next day I'm exhaused and sleep whole day. I'm going to try this. Hope my heart rate stays under 140 bpm. Take care you all and keep smiling😀
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
GREAT video! As someone who spends time in hotels, this is perfect. What is that band called? I need me one of those! Thank you!
Thanks. I'm glad you like it. The band is a furniture removal strap. Over the coming weeks I'll be posting a video reviewing the pros and cons of different straps, which may be of use to you.
Absolutely! I'll hang tight, so to speak, until that video drops! @@johnmetcalfecoaching
@@Bill_Mize the video is now live!
Thanks!
great idea!
what strap do you use? Really cool!
To run as easily as this, you need to be able to breathe only through your nose. I f you have physical problems doing this, then just see if you can do it for short periods during the run .
What do you think your cadence is for this easy enjoyable run? - looks like around 165 BPM to me. This is what I seem to fall into when I want to run very easily , smelling the roses along the way. I can run at higher cadences - but I start to feel more "stressed" more "deliberate" - this slowish cadence feels nice and easy for me, could do it almost "forever" - but of course it is very slow.
I began it today and liked a lot! The calfs burned, but I think that is because a lack of habbit.
I love niko niko...I am a 76 year old female. One hour of niko niko is wonderful.
That's great to hear!
You are looking good John, very athletic! Regards from chainge workout
Thanks 👍
Timed Static Contractions work and are very safe. Nice tip, John. More please!
This is great! Just a shame when the adds come 😂❤
Yes, the ads could make the exercises unbearably long! Fortunately there is a downloadable version - the link is in the video description 👍
❤
Another outstanding video John, thank you .
Thanks, I'm gad you liked it
👍🏻👍👍👍🏻👍👍👍🏻👍👍🏻👍👍🏻👍😁😁😁
Brilliant, thank you. Just saw a study today, featured on BBCnews,about the effectiveness of isometrics in lowering blood pressure; superior to "cardio". Researchers used the wall squat and planks in the study.
I hope you find it useful. The BBC article is based on a thorough paper by Edward's et al published in the BJS that reported isometric exercise can improve resting blood pressure 👍
Thanks John. So is your total time for one rep one minute?
For isometrics I do 3 x 30s of progressive intensity. For slow reps I'm currently using a 6/6 tempo
@@johnmetcalfecoaching thanks John!
Thanks 🙏 John
Thanks. I hope you find it useful.
So can I ask about the pace you mentioned. 138 minus half your age is that Heartrate or Steps per Minute? Can you let me know which please
One Set Man..
Thank you for the video, sir. Is one set training optimal as well for calisthenics like pushups and pullups? Can you insert rest-pause training as well?
The majority of my strength training is comprised of bodyweight exercises performing one set. I don't use rest-pause to extend the set. I hope this helps.
Do you cycle between different pulling movements?
Sometimes yes, but I generally I stick to the same ones. I don't change exercises just for the sake of change. I hope this helps.
@@johnmetcalfecoaching yes it does. i do basically the same workout but do an underhand grip row at one and a chin up at the other, so the emphasis is slightly different. that was the point i wanted to make, because only doing rows just does not cover the whole back right?
Heel striking?
Nope
I love this video. At 76yo, I am now a committed sandal wearing slow jogger. An Aussie - I ahve done some running in lanes in the UK and I recall the wild Garlic as in your video
Thanks Barry I'm glad you enjoyed it. The smell of the wild garlic is awesome
Thanks John
What shoes please?
Vivobarefoot primus
Great clear video!
Just came across your channel...great stuff here! What's your take on how many exercises per movement group? If i see Steve Maxwell's example routines...there is quite often 2, sometimes even 3 pulling or pushing exercises in a training. What's your experience with this? Just two months in with this high intensity style of training and doing just one exercise and set of a movement pillar. That hurts most of the time enough in this stage is my experience. Can't imagine doing more exercises for the same motion 😄
Often with strength training 'less is more.' Personally, I am currently performing one set of one exercise for each of the pillars.
@@johnmetcalfecoaching Tnx!
🎉
How would you approach this for hypertrophy ?
Great to see John and partner thanks 🙏 very much your both beautiful beings
Do you think 1set will aggravate my shoulder injury that I am trying to rehabilitate as you will need to work harder on 1 set training
I’ve been doing a HIT sort of program (inspired by John Heart, a disciple of Mike Mentzer) for general strength and fitness. I’ve seen gains in strength and even mass (which I’m not going out of my way to increase). I use drop sets as well, just to make sure I’m tapping the muscle out. So far, so good.
What is a drop set new to weights training
This really works.
How?
@oldnatty61 very slowly but surely it improves ur aerobic base and with that u can do speed work or intervals or longer runs. If u just do this, it will take a long time
@@eventhorizon3117 Improves yours, maybe, not mine.
@oldnatty61 it works but takes time. Useful if u r injured. Helps maintain base fitness
I agree 100%!!! :)
volume is too low. can't understand properly even after maximizing volume
well xplained!
This seems like a great idea, never thought of this before. Good content
Good information...
