Before watching. I do this weighted pullups(+12,5kg) , weighted dips (31,5kg), kettlebell swings. Works superb for me. More muscle than in all my gym years Edit: I had to do this when gyms closed during pandemic. It worked so well I never got back into gym and quit membership.
@@robertosadan4674 dips 4 sets. Whereas I can do first set mostly 6-9 reps depending on daily form Last set 5 reps then dropp added weight and do 4-5 more reps. Pullups 3 sets of 6 reps. Last set drop set like with dips. Both exercises 1,5 min rest. Kettlebell 3 sets 6 reps 1 min rest I put heavy emphasis on not egolifting and good form because I am very afraid of joint damage. I put started at 15 kg and build this up over like 2 years now. Slowly but steady adding 1,25 kg. Edit: all credit goes to this guy I copied his training routine method ruclips.net/video/AeB4znuGuSo/видео.htmlsi=pkj5SOA3Q8fKJ1Zw
Perfect. I've been living by this approach for years now (thanks to you) and so long as nutrition is on point, you can achieve a very good body and fitness level.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 and you could go on and on progressing on these basic movement patterns forever. It couldn´t be more simple. This is one video to keep at hand in case you get "lost in the fitness jungle". Handy for more ocassions than this one of "life getting crazy" if you ask me.... Thanks!! 🙂
I come back to your channel because I started cycling. As a weightlifter I want to workout in the gym but cycling is very time consuming. I will go all in with the cycling and use you minimalist approach for gym and body workout.
I do two full body workouts at the gym in addition to my calisthenics and Isometrics. I have this push pull and squat workout where I don't leave the squat rack. I start out with squats, followed by military press, and finishing with barball bent rows. The only movement is active recovery farmers walks between sets of squats. Time efficient and effective.
Athletes need to train differently, but most of us want to be stronger, fitter, more flexible and better balanced so we can do stuff. Play tennis, climb mountains, paddle a kayak, whatever. This video is a great contribution because you're aware of that. We're not all athletes and don't need to be. A measured but consistent training effort will build more capable people living better lives for longer. Well done sir!
@@naturalgains4229not necessarily. i am a basketball player. yes the basics play a big part in everything but for athletic performance, we do resistance training also in a way that carries over to our sport. eg single leg training, bird dog Rows. it's still the same principles but just different methods
@@proudmisfit4405 Exercise does not transfer skill. All you can do is build muscle and strength. You would be better off performing normal bilateral squats (and no need for a barbell), and normal rows. SuperSlow or zero-rep.
It works, but Mentzer was wrong about a few things. As a natural you don’t have to rest 2 whole weeks before training again. You could maybe hit the same muscle twice a week and if you don’t see progress or are more advanced you may need more days and time to recover. I only hit a muscle once a week, 1 set taken to true failure. If you can’t reach failure in 1 set simply go until you do reach failure, but when you hit failure you’re done. I’m doing Dips Monday, Chin ups Wednesday, squats, calve raises and reverse crunches Friday. One thing I found for me is that I need a slight calorie surplus and plenty of protein to build muscle. So I guess eat like you would if you’re trying to gain muscle.
Question at the moment I don’t have anything really above me that’s stable to do any pulling but can’t I do high rep towel pulls with a towel and a pillar instead of pullup bar ?
Would this be a good workout for a situation like this: -50 Pull Ups -200 Air Squats -200 Push Ups -200 Sit Ups -50(Each Side) Lunge And Twists -300 Jumping Jack's -6 Minutes Of Elbow Planking
What about them? We're doing a general workout here, not hitting every single muscle individually. Do your push/pull right, your shoulders will get exercise.
@@whistlingtony hmmm. Would prob be beneficial to do some sort of shoulder press. Even with a sandbag or something. All I do is push pull squat and jumprope. Jumprope hits my shoulders a bit but won't build them.
@@ydiabO I just do incline pushups, inverted rows and squats, I don't think dips or pullups are great for longivity. Too much pressure on the shoulder joints.
@KrisVic91 I agree if your form and tension control are extremely bad If tension is flowing through your pulling and pushing chain, your joints will be saved. That's why Matt always emphasizes tension control.
@@adamgibson473 There are no muscles whose primary function is stability. To improve stability, muscles which might otherwise be involved in stability must be trained directly, and to failure. Obviously, in any stability role, any given muscle could not safely be trained to failure. Training in an unstable way is simply unsafe. It doesn't contribute to stability, because any given "stabilizer" muscles involved cannot be meaningfully loaded during such an exercise. It is always best to exercise in the most stable way possible. Target any given muscles *_which might have otherwise been involved in stability_* in other exercises *_just for those muscles._*
@@aliendroneservices6621 Training in an unstable way is necessary to improve core strength (or strength of the "non-vanity", underlying muscles). Without this, you are more prone to injury.

It worked for me and I believe in it because its proven.
Thanks again for making things so easy! The best workout is the one you do!
Hey Matt, love the Grindstyle Calisthenics, thanks for all you do, your podcast is great too, helps me through my commute!

Great, how many sets and reps?And how long do you rest between sets?
@@robertosadan4674 dips 4 sets. Whereas I can do first set mostly 6-9 reps depending on daily form
Last set 5 reps then dropp added weight and do 4-5 more reps.
Pullups 3 sets of 6 reps. Last set drop set like with dips.

Kettlebell 3 sets 6 reps 1 min rest

Dont you have any legs?
@@edwardburroughs1489 yeah I do kettlebell swings for them
How often per week?

Always insightful
Awesome! Thanks
thanks Matt.
As simple as efficient !
Nice timing

Good info.
However, I would choose isometrics for a really quick and effective full-body workout.

Lol athletes don’t need to train their muscles differently. They just need to strength train with basics, and practice their skills for their sport.
@@naturalgains4229not necessarily. i am a basketball player. yes the basics play a big part in everything but for athletic performance, we do resistance training also in a way that carries over to our sport. eg single leg training, bird dog Rows. it's still the same principles but just different methods

100% on not optimizing. Read Herbert Simon on satisficing. Love the channel!
Happy Thanksgiving Matt. God bless
i would add Frog Stands on floor , absolutly amazing to build shoulders
u got some interesting machines
The Nossk suspension strap link seems like it is corrupt, as it doesn't lead to the store. You may want to check it out.
Your thoughts on Mike Mentzer style of training. Please make a video 🙏
It works, but Mentzer was wrong about a few things. As a natural you don’t have to rest 2 whole weeks before training again.

Capră 🐐 means goat in Romanian. Nice t shirt!
8 count body builder w/ renegade row.
Question at the moment I don’t have anything really above me that’s stable to do any pulling but can’t I do high rep towel pulls with a towel and a pillar instead of pullup bar ?
Inverted rows with two chairs, towel doorway rows or some gymnastic rings attached to a door for rows...
Peak Peakness
In summary ….. I highly rate the X3 bar workout. Builds muscle quicker than any weight machine or free weights.
It would be more-effective with inelastic straps. You can make your own, better version, using PVC pipe.
do you have a good diy video to recommend?@@aliendroneservices6621
stop it. "faster" doesn't exist. all these are just tools with different stimulus
Where did you get your straps?

Would this be a good workout for a situation like this:
-50 Pull Ups
-200 Air Squats
-200 Push Ups
-200 Sit Ups
-50(Each Side) Lunge And Twists
-300 Jumping Jack's
-6 Minutes Of Elbow Planking
Reps don't stimulate. Performing the above would simply inhibit recovery (and might cause deadly rhabdomyolysis, and joint and tendon injury).
@@aliendroneservices6621 so what would be a good way to set all of that up
@@aliendroneservices6621lol
Why's it say goat on your shirt ? 😂😂
What about your shoulders?

3:46 3:48 3:54 Stability can't be trained, and mobility should not be combined with strength-training.
Elaborate please
