We BUILD strength and TEST strength in slightly different ways. (yes - perhaps with some exceptions!) Especially with bodyweight exercise, the difficulty difference between two progressions is often substantial. While we can make micro adjustments to ease this transition, it can often be demotivating if we have trouble going from, say, knee push-ups to full push-ups. The good news is that while our "gains" in ability aren't immediately obvious, we might still be making good progress! And the broader lesson that might apply to other strength training is that we don't always have to train at our 1RM. Working below it with a weight/progression we can do competently and safely that's still challenging can build long-term progress! There might be more I should add, but I'm talking with family at the moment. I can edit later - let me know if there's anything I can clarify! Have a wonderful day!
I wish all RUclipsrs were like you. It's so demotivating hearing everyone say, "You're going to hate yourself for how slowly you make gains!" Just reading your comment that says, "we might still be making progress," is soooo motivating. Thank you.
Kid, you are helping this old lady so much. Just got your book a week ago. Could barely move after 40 squats. I will keep it going!! Thank you so much for keeping it simple and effective. Love your positivity.
Take it from a young man - 40 squats is damn solid! I could barely go past 25 last time I did them!😅 Keep it going and you'll be impressed by your progress. And the feeling of seeing what your body can do and how the hard work and discipline pays off is something people of all ages can appreciate and get stoked about
This guy has the ability to readjust his mindset to that of a beginner for our benefit. Most fitness influencers have forgotten what it was like just starting out.
I can’t say I’ve jumped in and started these kinds of exercises, maybe I will eventually but I love to watch you and your positivity and warm heart and I just love it.
Love this dude! So positive. These shorts got a bum like me to start doing around 5 min very simple exercises a day and I have never done this! Thank you!

I went to college with a gymnast, he did the rings. I was learning BJJ at the time and he was curious having wrestled in high school how he'd do. That guy's strength was UNREAL. I was 6' 215lbs he was 5'10 150lbs and he was incredibly strong. Having really done bodyweight exercises he didn't lift he did bodyweight exercises. So to see this guy do the movements he does doesn't surprise at all. Calisthenics absolutely work.
Honestly, sometimes when choosing my weight I have to remind myself that although it might feel easy at first, after a couple of reps I'm going to start to feel the weight and struggle a bit so I should probably stick to the weights I feel comfortable carrying instead of going heavier (sorry if the wording is a little confusing, but tldr: chose a comfortable weight cause you'll start to feel it after the first set)
It's the idea of building strength for mass vs. endurance. People who want visiable muscles and the ability to lift something extremly heavy for a short amount of time build strength for mass. People who don't care about muscle tone/visability but want to be able to use a muscle as many times as possible with little fatigue build for endurance. There can be a mix of both but that's the simple difference between the two. I personally build for endurance because I snowboard. I'm using the same muscles every time with no change in what I'm "lifting" but I want to be able to do as many runs as possible. My muscles need to be able to withstand hours of riding with breaks only being the lift ride back up.
same here, except I'm *TRYING* to build for endurance.. I don't want to look muscular but I need strength, endurance and speed to improve in my volleyball practice.. I have the technique but I'm too weak to even pass a serve.. so, could u kindly help explain how to build for endurance but not mass? I just need a basic where-to-start.. thanks in advance
@arandomperson1795 what I do is more reps with little weights. I'm still using a max of 10 lbs for a lot of my exercises but like today for legs I did 3 sets of 10. For my arms I'll do 3-4 sets of 16. Before adding weights you want to increase reps and sets. I've been told 5 sets before adding weight but I think that can vary based on how many reps you do and how long you want to workout 😂
This is a top-tier piece. A book with similar attributes became a cornerstone in my life. "Rising From Within: Unlocking Your Innate Power to Conquer Adversity" by Vincent Starling
World marathon GOAT Eliid Kichoge is recorded as saying "I never do anything over 70% intensity outside of racing" I use the 70% rule for a lot of areas in life. It allows me to remain fresh mentally and physically while steadily improving.
100% Tried to do a straddle front lever.. but found myself strengthening better with an advanced tuck FL. Once I train it for a little longer, I will work my way to the Straddle and hopefully to the full FL
Interesting concept. I'd like to take a bit more of a "pure strength" approach to training and work close to maximum effort. This is a widely adopted practice in powerlifting, weightlifting etc, but more difficult with bodyweight training. I think the debate over "intensity vs. volume" goes way back to the '60s and '70s and guys like Mike Mentzer who tried to challenge the "spend all day training" common wisdom.
I think this is a good point and it's why I like to write long descriptions for Shorts when possible! "Pure strength" works closer to maximum effort, but I'd probably still differentiate your training weight with the maximum weight you could possibly do. Possibly even more so with Olympic weightlifting than powerlifting! I'm a big fan of intensity over volume myself! But I'd say there's a significant difference between the 3-5 rep range versus always testing a new 1RM (which is possibly going to have questionable form anyway). But yes this really was geared more towards some existing community members who were frustrated at not being able to move on to a new progression!
I saw an x-ray of the finger of a Chinese martial arts champion who could balance himself on one finger. The finger was deformed because it had been broken so many times over the years that he practiced balancing on it. So, I don't recommend that you consider balance yourself on one finger.
Wait... that was pretty interesting. I was wondering about a similar thing lately. If I workout for 20 min and the workout is somehow tiring but I can finish it without many problems, does it mean it's not as effective as if I did a workout when I do faces and wonder if I can finish it? Where is the line? Sounds like the latter is better but is that so? Have a great day!
Greasing the groove is great at this. If you want to get strong, try something that's hard once every 15 minutes to an hour about 7-10 times a day. Do not strain your body, it should be easy. Your body needs to build its neurological path ways in order for it to maximize the use of your muscular threads.
I never got as far as a 1 finger push up when I was younger, but as a spry 13 year old, doing karate, we did 2 finger push ups. One finger and thumb on each hand.
When I started my job the journeyman told us "I was told there are exercises that will make me stronger for the work. The older guy just told me to keep doing the work and it will strengthen you" Was a way to say don't quit but also throwing shade at the first guy for not doing his job

lol!
Yes carrying groceries is the optimal way to test your strength 💪
Good to see a fellow rice bag lifter in the comments.

The best part about this video is that this can be applied to almost anywhere in life.
You're literally the big brother figure we need in life.
The way he said "have a beautiful day" was so wholesome.
Hampton is probuably the most humble a guy can get in the fitness industry
I like the way this man explains different types of strength and ways to test them

I love this man
Man, I love u, this video makes me smile
This guy just makes me smile
I learned more in 30 seconds from this guy than a 30 minute workout video
This guy is a good teacher, I recommend everyone to follow his advice
so delightful✨👼👼✨✨ have a Great day💙🎶☕️ Thanks my friend For sharing this Image
Love this channel!! Thanks Hampton !
Have a beautiful day✨✨
YOU have a beautiful day as well!🙌
I'm always in awe of how Hampton's flip-flops always stay on no matter what he's doing. 😂
Yeah I guess you’re right… the real hardest part about exercising is actually starting the exercise. 😅

In short workout that gives insane pumps build strength. And the god excercise is pullup that gives huge amount of pumps on fore arm back and biceps

I test it by seeing if I can move to a harder variation exercise. Once I can do 5-10 of the harder variant, I switch over.
