My husband and I educated ourselves with a few documentaries and loads of research 2 weeks ago and made the transition to vegan overnight and don't see any return in sight. We immediately starting looking up vegan fitness vloggers and found you to be one of the most inspiring! Please keep the videos coming you deserve way more subscribers!
subscribed after first video. You struck me as a good hearted, honest, no bs channel. And I love the home gym set up. Like you, I have been slowly building my home gym little by little. You do not need so much money, especially if you are handy and can build your own stuff.
The best vegan RUclips channel out there! Great results! I'm a martial arts tricker and tumbler who just recently started making vlogs. I do stuff like rounoff double backflips on grass and icy kicking combinations. You have really inspired/motivated me to train my upper body with calistenics more than before and it's working! Full ROM and consistency is where it's at! Vegan FTW!
Simnett Nutrition Haha thank you! RUclips is full of tutorials already man! Search for "Brendan Morrison" on RUclips! He has great videos on how to start tricking. Also Kyle Epic Mendosa. But basically to learn tricking moves you just need to look out videos, analyze, try out yourself, film and analyze yourself and learn from your mistakes. Basic moves would be, aerial, slant gainer, hook kick, roundhouse kick, roundoff, backflip, scoot, tornado kick, narabong, cartwheel to frontflip. Try it out!
Awesome Derek, found your channel a few weeks ago, you inspired us to get a pull-up bar built, it'll be finished tomorrow, built with 6x6's. It's awesome! Our girls are in the circus arts & that is one bit of equipment that they use a lot for their conditioning. And now, we will too. Thanks!
Awesome set-up you got there of the outdoor gym and planter boxes! Kudos to Crystal for for the camera work. I really needed this inspo before today's workout. Keep it up!
I love that you have literally a salad bar next to your set-up. Those kales and greens look amazing as well. Fresh greens smoothie for post workout would be awesome.
Talk about the law of attraction! As you can see below I said just 4 days ago that I would love those Frank Medrano dip bars. Yesterday I found a woman who had some dip bars for sale! I bought them, took them home and thought "to bad it´s not the Frank Medrano signature edition". Then I looked a little closer at them and what do I see. FRANK MEDRANO! So now I have them as well and I'm so happy! Time to take the training to the next level!
Found your channel today. I'm from Germany and vegan too. I also do calisthenics for a few month. I really like your authentic and nature-minded personality!
Very refreshing to see the material you are putting out. Great mindset and outlook on life, very inspiring! I've been looking for inspiration and information to go "part time" vegan - and I found it, thanks!
just activated Notifications ! You can tell that you're having fun doing youtube videos right now !!! makes me Happy haha. Im glad one of your videos kinda went viral.
Your channel is growing fast Derek. Congrats. You've convinced me that I need a back yard to have all that fun equipment and room to play around in. Sadly, that is nearly impossible in Vancouver. YEeaaaaaaaaaaaaap
I am not sure where you live in Vancouver, but there is an amazing bar set up in Ambleside (West Van)! Drive past the golfing area and its right there. It used to be my spot before I moved. I miss it.
Great setup.... thanks for the inspiration! I've just started with a vegan lifestyle... so much to learn! Thanks for the info Derek. Best wishes going out to you and Crystal.
Nice video as always ! Perhaps you can make one about what you learned with your nutrition studies: if they taught you informations that you knew they were not healthy one (I think about dairy products that are undeservedly recommended) and how you mixed that with your own knowledges. Thank you for your advices it's always good to learn from your videos !
Another awesome video man! Do you ever practice the fancy calisthenics tricks, like what you see in the bar competitions? It would be pretty cool to see you learning and practicing those types of tricks and be able to give pointers and stuff. Keep up the great work!
dude nice set up in the backyard I like that love core strength which I always have had a lot of but man nothing like what you got going on thank you for your videos and your inspiration knowledge is the best thing you can give to another human being thank you peace much love
Battle ropes are awesome. They really kick your ass. I like to do battle rope at the end of my workout. It's some quick killer cardio to finish everything off.
Yo D! Great vid brother! just wanted to let you know that YOU have been my inspiration to FULLY get into calisthenics! Im just starting out these past few months but your vids are always a phenomenal push forward bro! Thanks for always sharing! 💪👊
So much positive energy in your videos !! Is it best to use a platform/chair to practice the movement of a pull up as i can only do chin ups, my upper body is getting stronger from weight training but the movement of the pull up is tricky for me on my pull up bar.....
+simnett nutrition Are Etnies scouts okay to run in? Also I remember you mentioning that you used to skate. Do you still skate anymore? If so it would be sweet if you added some clips into one of your videos!
Got my dip bar station days ago and I’m loving it. Dips work trust me, also got some creatine, already have my weight bench and weights etc so slowly but surely building my personal home gym. Really can’t get enough of dips tho
Hey Derek. Really love your channel and your attitude to fitness and healthy living. I was wondering if you could do a video on getting enough vitamin e. I'm eating a whole foods plant based diet and I have found from using Cronometer for a couple of days that very often I don't come close to hitting my 15mg a day. I was wondering if you have any tips. Thanks.
I love your setup. I’m excited to be moving and buying 3.8 acres. I plan on setting up my own backyard gym. Is all of your equipment weather resistant? What are some tips?
wow i used a metal bar for my outdoor bar, but that bamboo looks way better for tricking, similar to a gymnastics bar. I wish i knew this before hand !!!
Your home gym workout is amazing!!!! Sucks that in London we are in a concrete jungle and don't have the opportunity to have something like this but this is now my new goal :)
Great set up!!! I would like to know: are your training split push, pull, legs? six times a week?. A big hug from Chile!!! Keep on with the good work :)
Really enjoy your videos! Do you recommend doing the same body weight exercises everyday, pull ups, push-ups, etc. or should you rest those muscle groups for 2-3 days before returning to those specific exercises? Thanks
even his pull up bar is organic.
Yeah thats funny
I like it how he seems to have so much fun working out and just enjoying life.
Just finished building a pull up and dip station in my backyard. Keep up the awesome vids. One of the best fitness/nutrition channels on youtube.

Simnett Nutrition sorry bro what's your job??
VeganHACKTIVIST it's pretty obvious

A new fan here! Fellow vegan and new to calisthenics. Keep pumpin out those vids! I finally got some at home props. Youre setup is def goals
Thanks Atola. Like I said in the video, I collected this stuff over a few years so it's definitely doable to create and not break the bank.

This guy is the real deal. He has his food source and gym in his backyard.
Man this is amazing! I need a backyard to start with ;) Oh and great music on the new vid!
You will get there!
Awesome channel! Glad I found it! I am half way there with my calisthenics home gym equipment
love working out in my garden, currently building equipment up but my advice is start with the pull up bar!
The reason calisthenics is so fun is being in nature and your workouts are only limited by your imagination..Great job bro and thanks for the ideas!
Exactly! It is the best.
This guy has got it right
Awesome backyard playground! Living in an apartment is tough, I'd love to have my slackline set up like that.
Those battling ropes look exactly like a giant's shoelaces.
Great setup.... thanks for the inspiration! I've just started with a vegan lifestyle... so much to learn! Thanks for the info Derek. Best wishes going out to you and Crystal.
Thanks Brad.

What up, Derek? My first time checking out one of your videos. This one caught my attention. Backyard workout is a great idea. You're awesome, dude!👍💪
Awesome, very inspirational.
Amazing, keep it up, very inspiring thank you
Thanks Sandy.
Great vid !! Have you used the TRX straps before. I haven't , but seems like a great option for any outdoor space
I have! I like the rings better, but I know a lot of people that use them and love them!
Dope brother, keep this inspirational content coming! So pumped! 💪🏻
Thanks!
So much positive energy in your videos !! Is it best to use a platform/chair to practice the movement of a pull up as i can only do chin ups, my upper body is getting stronger from weight training but the movement of the pull up is tricky for me on my pull up bar.....
I would suggest using a resistance band and also using a platform to perform negatives!
So cool! However I didn't see you focus on the lower back. How do you work the lower back with calisthenics?
+simnett nutrition Are Etnies scouts okay to run in? Also I remember you mentioning that you used to skate. Do you still skate anymore? If so it would be sweet if you added some clips into one of your videos!
Got my dip bar station days ago and I’m loving it. Dips work trust me, also got some creatine, already have my weight bench and weights etc so slowly but surely building my personal home gym. Really can’t get enough of dips tho

Backyard Calisthenics coming to a theatre near you...
Your home gym workout is amazing!!!! Sucks that in London we are in a concrete jungle and don't have the opportunity to have something like this but this is now my new goal :)

cool ideas!
Really enjoy your videos! Do you recommend doing the same body weight exercises everyday, pull ups, push-ups, etc. or should you rest those muscle groups for 2-3 days before returning to those specific exercises? Thanks
