  • PS I haven't filmed the leg raises tutorial yet, so wait for that, for now I will put up my pullover tutorial, because there I show how to learn the leg raises as well.
    Proper warm-up video upcoming
    Here I explain what you should keep in mind when starting out as a beginner.
    I suggest reaching these goals:
    Pullups: 25
    Pushups: 70
    Pistol Squats: 10
    Leg Raises: 25
    Hyperextensions: 20
    Handstand Hold: 60 seconds
    I suggest you reach these goals before moving on to more complex exercises.
    Pullup Tutorial: • How to do One Pull-up ...
    How to learn Pullover (Leg Raises included): • How to do a Pullover T...
    Handstand Tutorial: • How to do a Handstand ...

    Best thing about your chanel is your humbleness. A normal dude giving advice in easy and understandable manner without being macho, doing crazy things and trying to be very "entertaining" like lot of other fitness channels do. Keep it up mate.

    Good stuff, as usual! No magic formula. Good, hard, regular exercise!

  • @TheF0rtress
    @TheF0rtress  11 лет назад +11

    surplus, yes. Listen to your body, the more intense the exercise, the more hungry you'll automatically feel. Eat when you're hungry, and you'll naturally be eating excess without having the need to count it.

  • @Dirtpaw95

    This routine is awesome, I started doing it 2 months ago and I can already see great results: when I started I could only do 2 pull ups, now I can do 10 in a row, 3 pistol squats on each leg at first now I reached 10, push ups are lagging a bit, I could do 10 now I'm at 25 but anyway I see my strength improving day by day.
    Guys I garantee you, just do exactly what Paul says in this video and you'll become stronger and fitter, and this is only the beginning of the journey!

    for people who didnt get it the first time (like me), He's saying to do those 6 exercises for 1hour. for example pull up max, push up max....etc. And keep going until the hour is over. your goal is as many reps but as little sets possible. he also says to do them the first day and if u can go the next day go for it but when u feel sore rest. for me it works going 1 day on and the other off. so there are weeks when u train 4 days and others when u train 3 days a week.

  • @TheF0rtress
    @TheF0rtress  11 лет назад +7

    In my peak condition I do 50 in one set. If one arm hanging rest is allowed, over 100. 25 is beginner, I wasn't trolling. They add on with time, and you increase faster than you imagine. In a year, 25 should not be a problem whatsoever.

    January 1st, 2014. I'm doing the TRANSFORMATION with these and I'll work on doing all these workouts you showed in this video. I do free running and parkour so these will help towards them too. Thanks for the videos, you really motivate me!

    Great video! Way to set ambitious goals for people. I do sets of 10 L-sit pull ups, 50 pushups and 50 situps, but started to get complacement and even started to feel like that was good enough.
    Thanks for reminding me to look higher! God bless you my friend, for bringing health into the world!

  • @mauiaguirre
    @mauiaguirre 9 лет назад +15

    I'm starting this tomorrow. Fullbody workout A,B,C on Monday Wednesday Friday, (so going to the gym and lifting) -- and in between those days i'll do these forsure! And Sunday as a rest day (:
    I'm even willing to invest in a pullup bar in my house since i dont have those cool exercise parks near me. I'm so grateful that i found you man. 18 years, 163 pounds. A little flubbby, but i know i can get toned and ripped with this routine and learn how to do Calisthenics! Currently on a Intermittent fasting, eating only from 2pm - 9pm and get my calorie intake within those hours. Alright, time to keep at it and get some sleep for this life journey! Wish me luck everyone 😊

    Nice. This kid got me on the path of calisthenics. I mean I started with them, but after a few months I started doing b/w exercises with additional weight. Going back to all out cali I feel great. Not beaten into the ground like when I was pushing weights around. Not to mention when the Apocalypse gets here full mastery of one's body weight is a must. :) Thanks Pavel.

    I really am glad I found your channel. Now, I just want more people to know about you too!! I want to see if JUJIMUFU ( Jon Call and Tom Boyden ) would invite you to workout with them and collaborate. He is part of the flashy side of "YT fitness channels" but has brought a lot of people together through Tricking, Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, and Arm Wrestling ( Devon Larratt ). I think he should know about you and respect you. You are one of the early fitness youtubers that have done it right from the start like my guy Scooby1961 on YT. You are an inspiration man. The world needs more people like you.
    There are so many people out there who need to see your humbleness and faith. I want to see if I get Jujimufu to pay you to come out and have fun working out with him. God bless.

    AMPKinase (produced during prolonged cardiovascular exercise) induces the release of hormone PCG1-alpha, which inhibits the muscle building hormone mTORC-1. If we do cardio after, the levels of PCG and AMP subside, thus not inhibiting the work of mTORC-1 in muscle hypertrophy.

  • @seas0n51526
    @seas0n51526 10 лет назад

    Literally answered your question perfectly in the video. I am going to assume you did not watch it fully? He tells you the number of reps you must achieve on each of the 6 exercise, once you do, you are no longer a beginner.

    I don't use weights. I just do close, mid, and wide grip pull ups. (2 sets of 5) Pistol squats, calf raises, slow squats, and squats (3 sets of 15) Knee raises, leg raises, crunches, v ups, jack knives, and some isometric workouts. Chin ups, step by step chin ups (3 sets of 5) Forearm push ups, close, mid, and wide push ups, bent arm handstand (for as long as possible on push up bars) diamond, and some explosive push ups. I do this through out the day so I wait from some hours to pass by
