Yes. This is where I start. I’m 59, 6 years since my cancer and “difficulties”, weak, tired, and not following routines... I can do this. What is this, Oct. 19? Let’s go. You inspire me.
to be fair, there are also lots of big bulky folks who have very practical and realistically strong bodies. People that are built to move real things in every day (or not so every day) life. Think of farmers or construction workers or other people that use strength for their jobs. They may not all be toned and lean (some may even look "fat") but they have lots of muscles and strength that are more than just for "looking pretty."
for me being lean is the best. natural skinny and used to bulk and do wieghts, but now I am shredded and do more calishenics. Feel way better and think it looks better on me.
4 movement. To give a lifetime of Gain. easy to hard variation in brackets. SPLIT SQUAT(elevated surface - normal - add weight) NORDIC CURL( hip hinge variation- open up hip - negative - use momentum) Push UP( Normal - Dimond - Archer - /add weight) Pull Up(negative - Normal - Lsit pull up - Archer /add weight)
I believe that this type of training is the future. I feel that it go's back to that old commercial where the old lady has fallen and cant get up. Keep up the good work..I will be watching lol..
How right you were especially in light of the Covid lockdown. I much prefer bodyweight training with rings and parallettes, and it has paid dividends during the gym shutdown.
Hey Josh, thanks for this video. I found your video on how to release your hamstrings several weeks ago and it was by far the best stretching instruction I've ever seen. Then I found this video a few days ago. I'm going to use this basic workout, that you outline at the 8+ minute mark, for a few weeks. I've already been doing bodyweight workouts since last November but your stuff is simply better. I will add another comment in a few weeks. Thanks for this one. It's exactly what I need. BTW I'm also doing the Knee Ability Zero workouts. I bought the book last year but didn't really get it. After watching this video twice I grabbed the book, reread it, and started the daily workouts. I'm 58, soon 59yo. I'm a distance runner and see your training and knees over toes workouts as the Keys to my strength and mobility going forward. Just exactly what I've been looking for, but I didn't know it until I found them! Thanks!!
I'm going to do a very similar workout to this when my injured rib muscles have healed. I reckon I'm going to add in some calf exercises and pike push-up variations as I want to build some shoulder strength for skill work. I would probably mix it up a bit with different variations of back and chest exercises throughout the week. Before I got injured I started playing around with one arm body weighted rows on the Rings. I also want to get better at doing dips so I don't want to throw that exercise away either so that's being added in to.
Great video, I’ve been doing pushups and pullups in my workouts for >15 years and I credit them to why I have never had a single shoulder issue. Excited to try that eccentric hamstring exercise, thanks!
Thank you Strengthside! I’m very grateful for the effort you put in to explain and help-! I have a lot of scar tissue from surgeries but these movements/exercises are essential and fun- ty brother!
@@richardsipala5967 Everything! If you've watched any of my movement videos that incorporates all frontal, rotation, organic, etc. Training to get stronger happens in the sagittal plane.
Strength Side true. I see that in your animal flow and mobility videos. All of these heavy hitter movements are in that plane. Do you have any essential movement for addiction/abduction you use
@@richardsipala5967 Always depends on your goals. Like I said for pure strength, sagittal plane is best. If you want Frontal plane mobility and strength things like cossack squats and lateral leg lifts are great. If you want frontal plane athletic ability then lateral jumping, side shuffles, etc. you feel me?
His body is not huge nor buffed but an Ideal body. I trained calisthenics and my purpose is strength I don't mind about my gains as long as I'm getting strong. I won't stop.
Thanks for more tips....random thought, you have the same hairstyle as mine too! Mine is long curls (13") on top of head with an undercut all around. Blessings from Dallas, TX.
you are such an inspiration! can you do a video on excercise to add strenght to a recovering lower back? and maybe mention a few that would be dangerous to practice
Hey it might be too late, but you can always use the nordic curls and use your mind muscle connection to sort of work and stimulate your lower back my friend. All about body posture and mind muscle connection. Love ❤️
some of your commenters really underestimate your level of strength that also combines athleticism and flexibility. i like the emphasis on good form, that's how i strive to train. thanks for sharing your routine.
Hello. I've been doing minimalist aproach for a couple of months now and I like it verry much. What do you think of splitting up these 3 exercises (or a variant) from 3 days a week into 6 days a week upper/lower? Day 1-3-5 push and pull, day 2-4-6 single leg exercise. Is it ok for the cns? And will the workout have the same effect on the body for strength and hypertrophie? I also go mountainbiking on sunday, so no rest day.
Lot of keyboard warriors in the comments lol. Dudes ripped and giving away free content and a lot of you Meatheads are upset he isn't bigger lmao. Not everyone's into that bulky look 😅😅
The term "gains" generally refers to muscle mass, so, yeah, the title is quite misleading. The very first sentence in the description reads, "See what I did the last 3 years to keep me gaining muscle...", so there's that, also. But you should be the last one to talk about keyboard warriors. LMFAO You're doing your fair share of shit talking behind a computer screen. I'm absolutely positive that you have the physique of modern day Chuck Norris. LMFAO Prove me wrong.
@@Dont_Be_Afraid_0222 just stating the obvious my man, not sure what my physique has anything to do with my previous statement. But if you're desperate to see a ripped body with 7% bf lemme know playa I can snap you, a little wierd but hey whatever helps you out lol
will try the ATG split squats and nordic curls. Can you do a video on the split squats? These are new to me, and from what Ben was saying he said it takes the average person 6 months just to do it properly. I can do it, but i don't really know the right cues on them.
Hi from France, great channel. I'm afraid that my knees don't resist the stress of nordic curls.. an alternative way to do ? Or i must forget this exercice.. ?
Thanks dude. I just started a workout/training channel. The inspiration I get from all of you is amazing. Also, started bodyweight training on my own. Time to get stronger. Maybe a little late for that as I am almost 49 but......
Yeah nobody get their technics from the cosmic I guess. Even Bruce Lee to become a legend and create is own martial art, had dozens of masters who he learned from. And at the end, it's all about “Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.” ;)
He’s probably like 20s but you should check out @Mr1nf1n1ty on insta. He works at ATG with Ben Patrick, the guy he’s talking about that taught him split squat form and Nordic variation. That dude is in his 40s and looks 20-something. In great shape.
How often do you train? I'm doing 3 sessions per week in the afternoons, while biking in the mornings, the other 2 days a week I do running and swimming
I know if you are doing these right that the core gets a lot of work too, but do you have a core focused workout that you can supplement this one with?
Is it ok to push your knees that far in front of your toe? Is that going to cause knee issues? Was always told squat and don’t let knees go pass front of foot. Love the program!
Yeah, the "no knees past toes" mantra is pretty much dead. If you squat deep and maintain an upright torso, pretty much everyone's knee will do so. Watch some Oly lifters, and you'll see them all do it. Just make sure your knee tracks in line with your toes vs. caving in or pushing out too far.
Absolutely true,there is nothing out there that can beat the classic pull up and push up. And your physique is top tier. Never liked those swolen steroid meatheads. Also, I love your attitude. Keep it up :)
Sir i just want to know are their any exercises for bowed legs......and if bowed legs can be corrected now at the age of 23 ....if yes i would love to do that exercises please help sir ...
Yes they are... i am working on exact oposite problem. Keep searching... find advanced orthopedist and it take about 1-2 years depend on level of your bent
Bro can I just say I have been looking for a way to do nordic curls at home for like 10 years, and you suddenly just threw 2 at me in the space of 10 secs. That weight belt thing is nexxxxxt level
I've always wanted to find a shoulder blades workout! This is awesome! You're so good at these videos wow. Question. Are you popping out the shoulder blades alone, or are those the delts that pop out with them?
Body Is like a chain of muscles.. if you strengthen what is around a certain area, it'll take the strain off that area, making everything stronger. Not directly hitting the knee itself.
Yeah I agree. Especially when you look at his videos from 3 years ago, the gains are pretty minimal. Though in all fairness, I think this has to do with diet. If you want to build calisthenics gains you want to be around 12-14% bodyfat and get 1.5g of protein per kg of bodyweight in. Other than that the programming of this routine is pretty good. Though should you use only this program for 3 years? No of course not, thats boring and will kill your gains. You should switch things up or atleast try and add something new to the routine every 4 weeks.
Yes. This is where I start. I’m 59, 6 years since my cancer and “difficulties”, weak, tired, and not following routines... I can do this. What is this, Oct. 19? Let’s go. You inspire me.
How is it going? 😁
keep at it bro u got this
nice
Stay strong
Let’s go!!!
This is the kind of body humans should really go for.. super strong and lean and totally flexible..
Too many hugely bulked up folks clumping around
Agree 👌🏼
To each their own

@@Coolgamer322 You can gain muscle with the same routine. You simply need to add weight (yes, I know, it's boring and it's not the best choice)
