Remember this guys. Weights are just weight. Go lift a boulder. Curl a bike, lift cement. lift your kids, kids love exercise. And day by day kids get heavier and it's fun for them. There is no excuse.

He makes me feel like i can go and do some push-ups, and ill start growing new blood vessels, that makes me feel like some kinda of superhero!

I love calisthenics, recently I learned to do one arm pull ups

Me: Done a bodyweight workout. Adam: Well actually...

James from Shredded Sports Science said in his video about gymnastic bodies that the reason why gymnasts are so muscular is because they train different components of their strength, such as mobility and static strength almost always. So if you think about it the way Adam trains: "combining different modalities" is very similar to gymnastics training

This man has a kid and is doing all of this?! He's a beast!

Lucky for me I've only been training seriously since last July so the body weight training is still plenty difficult

I bought a 50kg sack of rice and do different exercise with it: lunges, goodmornings. Also some kind of strongman movement with it examples are: sandbag loading, sandbag to shoulder, loaded carries. For the upper body backpack filled with watrr bottles and I do weighted press ups and pull ups. I also add skill work like crow pose, headstand, handstand, front lever, cartwheels, backroll, and front roll. For cardio: 6x3min jump rope and I just dance for like 20 mins after. We just have to be creative at these times. Tip: go find a place where you can secure your feet and you can use the rice sack as padding to do glute-ham raises.

Well, he mentioned Simonster Strength, he really is a crazy calisthenics guy. You must go check his youtube channel if you are interested in calisthenics. Have a nice day also.

Covid 19 has been a kick in the sack but we get these great videos so silver lining

Thank you for spreading such useful info brother!! I love the fact your doing this at your home which gives an authentic feel which also clearly shown from your vibe. Keep it up!!!

I like the multifacettet way you approach your topics with. There're always bits and pieces for the different goals in training and you elaborate on the ways to incorporate them. You've got a really structured way of breaking things down. I like it a lot. Besides that I've been mostly interested in body weight training the last decades because i like to train outside. That fits perfectly for the MO of your channel! Keep up the GREAT work!

Damn man i felt the flow when you spoke. You are a hardworking guy and this video is smelling quality. Keep it up

Dude, i love your philosophies on working out, mucscle control and even mindfulness training. You keep putting out videos and ill keep watching them! Thanks man. Keep up the good work!

I only discovered your material very recently but I am so glad to have made the discovery. I feel that I learn something from all of your videos even though I am physically incapable of doing any of the movements demonstrated! Keep up the great work. 👍

Okay dude can I please just say that I’ve been working out for the past year. And all these other you tubers are good but your just fun to watch and I truly enjoy your videos. I’m so glad I found your channel

Really going to buy your book just as a thank you. You're sooooo smart man. Wow. I've read a lot about this. Everything from the classics of strength training (strongman - pre-steroid type of content) to all the Convict Conditioning books to Mark Rippeote. Your grasp is eons ahead of mine and I just pray that you continue to build and share. This is god's work man. Wow

Watching this in yet another lock down, great stuff, thanks for the ideas to train at home.

I’ve been doing calisthenics like crazy. Went from doing 100 pull ups/push ups/dips and squats with just buddy weight for my workout and now up to doing the saw workout but with a 35 lb weighed vest

Im so glad i found this channel, i love your content!!!!

Great video. A comprehensive overview that cuts through a lot of the misinformation and repetition regarding bodyweight training online. I'm predicting that one small silver lining of the current Covid 19 lockdown is that people will go back to basics, relearn proper technique on BW form, and incorporate the lessons learned when they return to their weight training

Insane vid bro keep it up loved it

This guy gives me more knowledge in an understandable way than other fitness KZfaq channels!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice content..you definitely deserve a bigger audience

Yeah boiiii, always waiting for your vids man

Excellent video! Subscribed.

Love your content bro so well researched, and you tackle dome lesser known training principles

You're legend. Love you're content 🤙

great breakdown!

Finally a decent and informative fitness channel. Subscribed. Which part of the UK are you from? I'm based in Wiltshire you sound local. Keep it up. Thanks, Ben

Beast work, very informative

Don't get me wrong, I love all your videos, but this one was priceless. Lots of great information. Thanks!

I'm using a back pack full of weights (weight plates, books, rice, etc.) and doing a lot of my body-weight work with that on. Weighted dips, chin-ups, pull-ups, squats and pistol squats, and press-ups are excellent ways to get a bit more strength training. Other than that, I'll be getting a couple of heavy sandbags soon for some heavier squats, pulling and pressing

This is the type of content that needed to be created. It definitely let me know different levels of bodyweight training. I like to stay lean & athletic, but have a lil more definition.

You're in great shape. Very motivating

Great content! Inspiring physique

Hey bro thanks I love your channel and calisthenics

I have my own gym at home. it's taken about 15 years to amass all the equipment i have but the lockdown had zero effect on my training :D great video, excellent advice and ideas!

good work, well done.

great dude..1 in a 1000 in youtube that actually know what you saying ,based on science and not on your personal experience or something..thumbs up!!

I'm so happy to have found this video. I have access to the gym, bit I simply don't enjoy it. I hate getting up early in the morning to beat the rush that happens after work. I have a physical job too so I appreciate the extra 1 and a half hours sleep. And frankly I just find the gym extremely boring. I also, used to be super active with bouldering and parkour but after an ACL rupture half a year ago I can't do the sports I like. Not for now anyway. My main source of activity is going to the gym for legs and cycling to work. All very leg orientated for obvious reasons. And to put this in perspective, my one rep max for just my uninjured knee on a leg press is 105kg, so you can imagine the muscle loss that happened to leg that had surgery. That's having never really used the gym. So I've been aching for a way of getting strong and fitter in my own home and your free program may have given that to me. I never had the knowledge of what to do at home. I don't have a garden to do things in either so space is limited

Hi. Great video. Thank you. Please make a video sharing your thoughts on the sport of gymnastics.

8:45 My literal reaction was like: “Holy shit this guy is built like super saiyan goku!!” Great video!

You are one of my heroes ❤️

My Notes: 11:40 he combines everything in a pyramid structure and does do endurance training at the end of his workouts to increase the capileries and blood delivery in the muscle also to prime the autonomic nervous system. Your fatiguing and using your fast twitch muscle fibers!

The transmission with the camera falling was a the right editing choice 👍🏼

Great Video, i appreciate the advice dude

Yeah... I can’t wait to get back to the gym. For me it’s all about making my shoulders, arms and back big so my belly looks smaller, and of course get rid of the moobs. I hate those things, I have had them since preteen years. Thanks for the video.

I embrace it all, brother, I'm working on developing a system that combines all elements of physical expression.

Awesome dude respect!

Hey Adam! Great video as usual. I think you also could've mentioned the existence of "weighted calisthenics" as an alternative to leverage techniques in the case of bodybuilding/max strength developing with traditional bodyweight exercises (pull ups, pistols, dips). It's not that hard to find something heavy to place in a backpack and do these sort of movements with, and you can easily progressively overload if you keep track of the weight you're using just like you would do at a gym.

Bro, you are a legend.

I find this kinda interesting how on one hand we have like fitness trainers, bodybuilders, sport science phds, who talk about all those different exercises and in many cases, for the majority of people, use the pullup as an example of an hard exercise. Then on the other hand you have these freaks (in a good way) like Adam who just so casually talk about a one handed pull up, planches, free handstand pushups and show even more advanced versions of those already extremely high level exercise as it was just a basic knee pushup. I mean even in the calisthenics and/or gymnist world these are skills people train years for. It really is very awe inspiring. Respect

I’m new to calisthenics. So far I can do one arm push ups. Working on pistol squats now. Havent had a chance to practice muscle ups yet but thats on the todo list

i must say u have one of the best phisiques i saw , i must search what exercices you do for the trapeizis

This is a great video because it shows that all u need is resistance and bodyweight is a great option like our body doesn't differentiate the resistance

Extremely pedagogical and well-designed video! BTW- which brands of shoes are you wearing in these clips? They look very cool, minimalist and functional...

Good video.

good stuff!

You. Are. Underrated.

Hi @The Bioneer, I've been doing this workout circuit that I set up for myself and I've been getting really good results and it really challenges me each week. I'm curious what your thoughts on it would be. I don't have access to a gym so I'd decided to a PVC pipe as a bar with bags with bricks as weights to help. Unfortunately I don't have access to a pull-up bar so I have yet to add that to my routine. Mondays- fullbody 10x p/u 10x diamond p/u 10x decline 10x bent later raises ( for back and shoulders) 10x lateral raises 20x shoulder shrugs 15x military shoulder presses 10x bicep curls 20x situps 30s planc -> 10x corkskrew -> 30s planc -> 10x corkskrew ->30s planc 40x flutterkicks 20x raised leg crossovers 10x leg raises 15x squats 15x side leg raises 20x lunges 40s wall sit 20x lunges 10x burpees Tuesdays- upperbody (repeat x3) 10x p/u 10x diamond p/u 10x decline 10x bent later raises ( for back and shoulders) 10x lateral raises 20x shoulder shrugs 15x military shoulder presses 10x bicep curls Wednesday- core (repeat x3) 20x situps 30s planc -> 10x corkskrew -> 30s planc -> 10x corkskrew ->30s planc 40x flutterkicks 20x raised leg crossovers 10x leg raises Thursdays- legs (repeats x3) 20x situps 30s planc -> 10x corkskrew -> 30s planc -> 10x corkskrew ->30s planc 40x flutterkicks 20x raised leg crossovers 10x leg raises

Hi Adam. 3 Years ago you made a video about the supplement: Cordyceps sinesis. Back then you were convinced it had a lot of benifits. I am curious about your current oppinion on the supplement (in combination with Creatine). Like your real and honest content!!!

I accepted a while back that I will never be an Olympic athleat, or compete on the worlds stage. All I want. Is to be fit enough to play with my kids climb trees play rugby with them at the park, go to judo and bjj with them too (never be a boring dad). Since I accepted this my training has never been so much fun... and don't feel like an arthritic old man when I get out of bed... Keep up the good work to you all...and enjoy your training Adam I know you have a background in martial arts. I would love to see your thoughts on combining your training methodsnto judo and bjj. Also would love to see tai chi stuff as I know you have a background in that also. I have just finished your "superfunctional training" book 👍👍👍

Hey there. I like your content.

Pfuh... this was kinda overwhelming. But I learned that I still have much more to learn😅. Gonna continue with my normal workout but will 100% be watching more of these vids !!

You should put out a book, goddamn *puts discount on website* What a legend

Unless you can do a one arm explosive full planche pushup, don’t tell me bodyweight “isn’t enough”

Coming from a 12 years strenght training Bodybuilding Style Routine and I am doing Calisthenic for 1 1/2 years now. I love this training style and wish I would´ve found It earlier. My whole Body as a unit is much stronger more flexible and more that of a "sportsman" rather than a beast who cant run a mile without heavy breathing. Thanks for the Video Bioneer, I always wonder even that I have so much experience what the best calisthenic split is. I trained Push /Pull and got good pumps but I now with calisthenics trained my whole Body 3-4 Times a week and felt much much better. Would you say that "what feels best for you" is exactly that? Because I switched to a push Pull to get more Volume in but on the long end I got the same Volume when I do Full Body 3-4x a week and train all the muscles more often which to Eric Helms is far superior for more experienced Athletes. Thanks a lot!

about the bicep thing you can also do Close grip chin-ups and bodyweight bicep curls are probably the best I like to do them on gymnastic rings but you don't need them

I have a tip I noticed that your front shoulder muscle is more focused and stronger than your middle or back shoulder muscles which may lead to muscle imbalance or injuriess

I want your program. Yesterday !

2:05 OMG that chest and back thickness

Since the gyms are closed here due to corona, I have started calishenics. in a few weeks I feel stronger than I was.

BIONEER IS A DAD!!!!!! I think Good job brother

tu igles es muy muy bien. buena suerte en to programs

Holy hell man, ive been following you for awhile, whats your diet? You've gotten a lot more ripped!

Your body has improved significantly and I LOVE it! I’m sure your wife does too but in a different way 😝

I like the fusion of modes I’m a born free styler

Much respect for the one legged one arm push up :D you are a beast! But I saw one tiny detail. You did not lock the shoulder properly. No, I am not a hater - actually I am right now following the naked warrior rules so this was the first thing that I spotted.

If you can make a program on isometric training, that would be amazing. Hope all is well!

Great video. The only thing I feel like you missed would be adding weight to calisthenics. Weighted pushups and pull ups are great

Nerds are the new bodybuilders with science by their side.💪🏽🤓

he's just awesome

The best on the web 👍🏆 All facts no 💩

I love doing calisthenics and weight training

Oh and Adam, since you have a baby, you probably have some compulsory experience with polyphasic sleep. Could you talk about that a bit? We now have a lot of time to experiment, so I just thought that could be amazing.

is there anything this guy can't do? Superman!

Man, I've been getting huuge off of push ups and pull ups. They are pretty challenging for me though because I'm 6'4". I'm also natural. I don't think I can gain too much more size from them though. Went from 177-205lbs in a year and a half.

Great video! Why did you leave out isometrics as another tier? You do great videos on it so why not weave it in?

Is this good for strength training and heavy lifting? If so what kind of workouts what I need to do as a beginner and what kind of equipment what I need?

I am interested in a workout routine focusing on body weight training with a target goal of functional strength, proprioception and balance as well as diet suggestion. Will I be able to find this in your book? I really enjoy your content and will probably purchase the book regardless as I am sure it is full of great information. I have found that many trainers at gyms have a limited knowledge, largely focused on weight loss, body building and bulking up. I am an industrial pastry chef by trade, lifting and moving objects and ingredients with varying weights and sizes through the day, and I look at tasks much like a recipe. I want to know what the function and purpose of the action or item is and how it could be more efficient. Your content seems to approach working out in very much the same manner and I am hoping this approach will be more helpful in reaching my specific goals.

I want to get in shape and I learned that we have to work out based on our body types. I am in ectomorph and I have to do like strength training and heavy lifting. The problem is there is no gym in my area and I don’t have enough room to set up for a home gym in my house. What kind of exercises I can do without equipment to gain muscle and get in shape? What kind of small exercising equipment I can use at home? Also do a video on body types.

Eave your ear... the bioneer is here.

Soooo I'm confused. In the beginning, you say that regular push-ups are not enough of a challenge to build muscle like bodybuilding. Later on you recommend doing them in the 12 - 15 to technical failure range. What am I missing here?

@bioneer what do you think about the 30-10-30 for building muscle do you think it works with bodyweight only. And what about tempo contrasting as well as myo reps?

Can you do a video on knee health and strength! I feel liker everyone can benefit from taking better care of their knees.

i see you have the same vibram shoes as me, i see you are a man of culture!!! :D

thank

I was digging a new water main and came across a boulder 50cm down weighing 101kg (I'm 71kg) that had to be removed - the boulder lost. I keep it as a trophy now and practice shrugs with it... :o)
