He's got plenty of experience, knowledge and he pays attention to the evidenced based studies on the topic... but I wouldn't call him wise. Wise people don't use gear.

@brianpena2239 Haha... 😁😁😅 Mike Mentzer was not wise but he was smarter

​@@PB22559well, even wise people can do not so wise things sometimes, doesnt make them less wise, they would be less wise if they didnt know what they are doing

He literally has 10 part lecture called "arguing to convince" on his channel.

why is it unwise in his case to use gear?@@PB22559

yes haha hello fellow cunningham hgahahahaa

There are many videos of Fitnessfaqs & EugeneTeo, they are a great combo

No mate I have been waiting for this one for so long😂

Dan V and the Doc , how have I only just seen this , talk about a hidden gem

​@@bobmathews9072fr

Damn. 👏🏻

Yup. I'm 41 and I've noticed my BJJ and MMA skills have become so efficient over the last decade of training. I can train 4 hour sessions if it has proper periodization.

If you want u can focus more on reps, it'll also use the muscle more than a couple heavy reps. Alot of reps eventually does get intense

Less is more If the weight is too light, slow down. 👍🏾

I'm going through that process right now at 35. Training with intensity as if I was 19 again and not only am I not making progress I'm going backwards. Listening to Mike mentzer helped me realize and now I've pumped the brakes and can slowly feel myself filling back in and no longer always drained and tired.

Well said!

absolutely hard agree

I’m 29 Still hanging. I heard it goes down after 30😬

You, me, and all of us!!

@@hitman93able lies

@@hitman93able 38 here, noting is going down yet. Could be coming soon, but definitely not yet.

I absolutely agree.....I will always stick to Calisthenics. It's amazing.. I recently unlocked the Tuck Planche at 220 pounds and at 6 feet 7 inches tall...Defying GRAVITY💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁.. Calisthenics always makes me feel sooooo sooo good, especially whenever I achieve a calisthenics skill after putting in hard work and perseverance

Yeah agree but still calisthenics + weightlifting is the best way to strength train. You get all the benefits and no drawbacks from choosing just one.

I’m a bodybuilder and I love incorporating some calisthenics that place a huge stretch on the muscle like pull-ups for lats and deep dips for chest and triceps.

Thats just not accurate. Yes, Prisoners, gladiators or ancient warriors are jacked because of progressive overload, whether its reps, sets or weight dont matter as much. Prisoners mostly because of the environment they are in and lack of having other shit to do than eating, training and sleeping consistently in order to make their time go faster. You can build an amazing physique with bodyweight exercises, sure, but is it the ideal way to grow muscle, fuck no. The equipment that we have in our gyms are stuff that would have been unimaginable and true lifehacks for ancient warriors. If a bunch of gladiators got gym membership and a personal trainer from modern era, they would be unstoppable compared to the boneheads lifting rocks and doing pushups with random weights and questionable form.

@@og2lax227 Its VERY much accurate. Ive said before and you admitted that progressive overload is progressive overload. Gladiators, ancient warriors,prisoners were in times and in enviornments that forced discipline to get the physiques they had which you said so idk what your talking about. Ive never shitted on the gym either i said OBJECTIVELY the gym is better over all and you can use it to add on to what you built with calisthetics. I mean the fact that you brought up prisoners and that that got fit due to certain circmstances proves my point even further. Harder variation, holding concentrics and eccentrics will do you just good. Ive seen plenty of people at the gym whove been there for months to years still looking the same with no gains but only in strength. A guy who doing basic calisthetics with proper strict form, differnt variation with proper nutrition and recovery days will run laps around a guy at the gym with no good nutrition,lack of recovery days and mindless repping in terms of muscle and physique. Calisthetics in terms of muscle ideally its just as good as weights but theres a roof to how big you can get which is a cavet for guys that wanna look like arnold, old stallone, frank zane, or the rock which i know for a fact majority of men dont wanna really look that muscular. With enough discipline, proper nutrition, progressive overload regardless of the method ANYTHING can work. The gym is better but calisthetics is an alternative way proving you dont need to go to the gym to get strong and in good shape. My point of bringing up gladiators, ancient warriors and prisoners and they got fit with minimal to no equiptment was to prove you dont got to be held down to a gym to workout. Anywhere and anything can work as long as you apply the principles just stated earlier.

Dr. Eric helms as well , they are both top powerhouses

Are you using the RP app?

The problem is people think of strength as just 1rm strength but if you are either adding reps to a weight, increasing weight at a higher rep range or even improving rep quality you are still getting stronger.

@@brandonevans4020 I agree, but beyond that it was volume and work capacity. Getting my muscles to handle more sets and fatigue was integral. People disregard muscular endurance but it's of equal value as brute strength for hypertrophy training.

So basically you just do more volume and less weight?

@@frog6054 Yes. Like Mike mentioned you are trying to find an optimal stimulus-to-fatigue ratio, a good example would be doing a heavier weight for 3x6 vs a lighter weight for 4x10. There doesn't seem like much difference but a 3x6 set is 18 total reps while 4x10 is 40 total reps, more than double the volume of the heavier set. Over time adjustments like this make an enormous difference.

@@pricerowland volume is actually defined by number of sets close to failure and not total reps. The advantage of doing higher rep sets is you're using less weight which builds less fatigue which allows you to do more sets.

Depends on what your metric is. It seems like there are some insane performers out there who leveraged self-disdain to the exclusion of anything else. But I doubt that’s the way to a fulfilled life.

they're a good source of strength too

Yes please 👍 Also he doesn't make use of any drugs in his work

Helms is brilliant👍

Jeff Nippard needs to come as well

@@vn5774 Yup ,some of the wisest man in the fitness industry

Look at mike Tyson and he only did cahlistenics

@junkequation To each their own as a lifter I respect that every person doesn’t have to be huge to feel like they have a great physique

​@@SparklingWater445Yeah this kid doesn't know what he's talking about lol. Only covers 5% of the work and rushes to conclusions like this.

Nice! I'm thinking about starting with calisthenics myself. How do you know when is good time to start doing both?

@@andrewyoung328 I started training with weights again, because I was getting bored of calistenics only. I am not sure when to start calistenics when only training with weights previously. I would maybe start Push days with getting better at Ring Holds (or normal Dips) or on pull days start with Pull Ups. Just begin with one calistenics exercise and progress and see how much calistenics exercises you want to add to your normal workout. Atleast thats how I would do it.

I agree. Also thanx to the interviewer. Very nice Qs

Well, I'm doing calisthenics to gains mass lol.

@@frog6054 okay! Let me know how it goes :)

I've gained some mass from gymnastics and calisthenics, but not a lot. Could just be my routines aren't the best. So let me know if you have an effective routine for building mass with calisthenics.

I use calisthetics in the 5 to 15 rep range, trying to build muscle. But I want to do handstand pushups and stuff like that. I was a bit bigger when I lifted so think supplementing with weights is a must for building muscle.

It can be contradictory because it's hard to do many moves unless you are as light as possible. Thick legs from doing squats won't help with the planche holds. So it's not that they can't gain mass but they don't really want to
