Your workouts are a tiny drop in the ocean compared to the impact the environment has on your body. In this video, I explore that relationship and why "immersion" might hold the key to perfectly balanced training and optimal performance.
In short: the body is built to adapt to the environment. We have designed our environment to be as safe and comfortable as possible, which reduces the need for meaningful strength, mobility, or endurance. Everything is at arms-length, without us needing so much as to stoop.
We can change this by changing our environment, or by changing the way we interact with our environment through our habits and routines.

This is why I moved away from the city and now live amongst honey badgers and wolverines.
I’m watching this video on a tablet I forged from coconut husks and asbestos while I stand in a horse stance until an incense stick burns out. The incense stick is actually a cobra.
I grease the groove by climbing a mountain every time I need to use the bathroom. And only universal unisex bathrooms cause I’m an ally.
Feeling cute, might fight a bear later, idk.
Haha! Good start, guess you’re still easing yourself into the concept…
Can you give a shout once you're done with the toilet, I've been waiting for a while now
Well put haha.
Why a universal unisex bathroom if you moved away from the city and people lmfao?
I carved this comment into stone and have brought it barefoot to RUclips head quarters lunge-walking backwards.
You have revolutionized my health in every way I could think of. I went from skinny, sad, lethargic, and uncoordinated waking up every day and hating what I saw in the mirror to feeling better than I could have ever imagined. Based on circuits, repetition without repetition , crawling, high reps, and work flow, I have gained 30lbs of muscle and gained skills I never could have thought my body was capable of. I'm happy now, in a great relationship with a girl who brings up my ne talents any chance she gets due to the sheer pride she has in my transformation. None of this would be possible without your channel. Thank you
Wow this is amazing dude, well done! Inspirational!
Bro what did you do. I’m 18 and trying to look like Bruce Lee but I’m a hard gainer so what would you recommend? Or at least what did you do to improve your physique??
@@erenjeager5290 I wrote a program that randomly created a circuit based on a pool of exercises. one minute per exercise with a one minute break every ten minutes for about an hour. The difficult part was balancing all the different motions (push, pull, rotational strength, forward jump, upward, side, etc). I also changed my diet. I learned that I can't digest meat, so I went vegetarian and eat five small meals a day. Counting macros has also helped. Of course, MMA also helped with coordination, but even then I turned my independent training into training reaction time, flexibility, and chaining everything together. I'm not sure if I can explain everything else over text though
@@averagestudent4466 That sounds super interesting, I feel like making my own program like that now
@@averagestudent4466 Thank you very much for this information, I am also skinny trying gain muscle. 5 small meals a day hmmmm ok
CONGRAZ ON 400k SUBS mah man! You deserve it!
Every time I see one of your comments on a channel I watch or a video I like I feel a bit better about my day 🤣
Hey Jax! When is the Bio-Blade collab coming out??? ; )

That ending was clever, "change the environment, change the organism", The whole video is condensed into something that is easy to remember and it gives you a place to think for yourself on how to adapt your environment for the desired effect
This man is possibly the most important fitness RUclips fitness creator in terms of the philosophies he presents and the understanding he gives around fitness
This channel is slowly turning me into a superhero.
indeed
Adam, this content is so spot on. I am 65 and when I was young up to the age of 24 I lived on a working farm where I did heavy manual labor most days. Over the years I did various activities like marathons, triathlons, martial arts, boxing, bodybuilding and powerlifting and while I may have been stronger in a single lift or able to run further I still never felt as overall fit and strong as when I was on the farm. I was lean and sinewy and ready for anything. When Covid hit I stopped the gym, went outside in harsh environments (I live in northern Maine, US) and began training much like you do utilizing whatever the environment provided. I feel so good, so much fitter and resilient overall. Thank You for your excellent channel and for the painstaking research you put into every video.
Adapt and Overcome 👍

"there are no flat bars in real life, no flat surfaces"
That's what I've been saying for years! Wierd lifts = best lifts
well, as long as you do them safely. Some wierd lifts are good, some are death-traps. The best way to find out is to start with a really low weight and patiently work your way up. After a while you'll notice if the lift is good, or a death-trap in the making.
Pack it up joel seedman
Completely agree, I grew up farming and im now in the building game and my strength is far higher than my friends who go the gym
a note on your adaptation facilitation machine - every one of these functions(heavy doors, taps, etc) could be directly used to generate power/pressure needed to operate that system
Genius! 🙏🏻
Energy crisis no more, next thing we know the building transforms the thermal energy of its inhabitants into energy, like the Matrix where they use humans as batteries, except the whole virtual reality and robots taking over drill
the generator bicycle, but for the entire house
Nah, it would even out. You generate electricity but consumes more food. The energy will be used to tend to the extra crops/livestock you eat or do other tasks to free up resources to tend to crops/livestock. Not to mention it's going to be extremely inefficient because a power plant like that is just going to make lots of heat from friction and little electricity. There's no revolutionary idea on the work here. If you want to move like a caveman, eat like a caveman, and look like a caveman, then logically you be a caveman. Civilization can't accommodate cavemen and a bunch of cavemen won't have a civilization beyond what a human can achieve within 60 years.
I'm an anime nerd but this sounds like a mix between the DBZ hyperbolic time chamber and the hunter x hunter mansion (I forget the last name but killuas house with the heavy doors and stuff)
I see there are no dislikes and it better stay that way. This is peak content

I've started transitioning to running barefoot over the last few years. Started with minimalist shoes (vivos), then went to minimalist sandals (xero), and recently purely barefoot. Can't recommend it enough. I'm hoping to run a sub-3h marathon barefoot this year. I also have been running in just shorts and barefoot through winter for cold weather conditioning.
I been doing some similar stuff; going out to the cold mtns, or to hike and crawl and climb in the desert, either with only short-shorts and a sun hat, and some slides, but I mostly keep barefoot.
I've been running in sandals for about a year. I just started barefoot and it feels so free.
Personally I've never liked shoes. They feel like sleds I'm forced to wear, even in nonslick shoes is still don't feel as stable and secure as I do when I'm barefoot. It's somewhat a family trait though, you knew growing up that if my aunt kicked off her shoes it meant she was about to chase your ass and you weren't getting away.
Barefoot running's been a thing with me since I was a kid. Ran around the countryside. Even now in the city I could still glide down the streets no problem(Tho i'll only leave out with no shoes if I gotta😅)
Barefoot running builds beastly calves. A dude would run in barefoot and his legs are just shredded
Man, after learning english by myself, I have to say that it definitely pays off, especially with a channel like yours. I'm a physical education student and all your insights and ideas on the videos are basically the playground of training and perfomance, that's inspiring. There's so much yet to be discovered about functional training! Thanks for sharing it with the community.
Look up for Brian Alsruhe too, you will like it

Must be a good learner, your English is wonderful. Cheers man.

Tarzan had the ultimate training, swinging on trees all day and fighting physically superior animals all the time with his brain.
The high repetition method is something I have used for almost forty years. High volumes of punches and kicks were required at the first dojo I studied at. And your mention of “farmers strength” gained from numerous repetitions is spot on. I’ve had to sling 50-70pd bales of hay literally hundreds of times in a single afternoon.
Today, for me , it’s all about plasticity. The neurological damage I incurred from a mini-stroke led me back to body weight and light weight training, with high reps. A goal of mine for eleven years is walk without a limp again. I get glimpses of it from to time, always during long solo hikes.
How does this guy not suffer from “paralysis by analysis”?
I barely know anything, and will still freeze up during a work out because I’m trying to think of the next “best” move.
So much great content, and works together so well.
You’ll get better with practice, don’t worry, try to think of the goal of the workout and just go with it, if it is a pump workout, just focus on high rep feeling the burn exercise, sure you might have not chosen the best exercise, but you still got a burn because you did not stop to think, just kept the burn going, next time you’ll change that exercise, but you did the best thing at that specific workout at the specific time
I think just start with anything, and vary stuff often
There's this one martial arts addage that Idk if it's even real but it goes something along the lines of, "When attacked, a beginner may react in thousands of different ways. A master, two or three."
Essentially as you learn more, it becomes simpler, don't overanalyze, and with experience and practice when you think of the next "best" move you'll only have three options, instead of thousands
Don't forget to exhale 🙏🏼✨
Big brain lol
Edit: the dude just really knows his stuff
I love this idea. Early last year during of the pandemic I bought a whole heap of different fitness and sports equipment and placed them around my house and garden. A year later I am stronger and fitter than I have been for a decade.
Incredible content as always! As someone who recently returned to a manual / very physical job after several years of desk/driving work, i can wholeheartedly agree with the need to move more and encourage everyone to find any way they can to add more physical movement into their day. Even standing while watching a movie and using light dumbbells for wrist/forearm strength will kick start improvements and a desire to then do more....a snowball effect through each part of the body. Nothing (illness aside) will make you feel old and broken before your time than being sedentary for most of your day. Mobility, or should i say a lack of it, will steal your life away from you sooner than it should and you only have to look at an elderly relative to see how sad it is to 'stop living' and just exist.
Keep moving 🙏🏻💪🏼
Changing your living space is one of the best ways to encourage this shift in thinking. I moved house recently and sold almost all my chairs an couches and now sit mainly on the floor, frequently changing positions.
Just goes to reinforce my long-held belief that the body and mind adapt to the lowest level of challenge presented to it, and that it’s easier to keep going (because you gain momentum, physically and mentally and certainly in regards to training) than it is to get started anew.
For the people who truly only have a few hours a week for training, consider every weekend going to a different gym, EXAMPLE: my list until now is rock climbing, ballet, jiu jitsu, swim. Consider that each gym gives you a free first class and abuse that, it is great because it humbles you about how much is out there that you are not good on
Great tip! 👍
Dude this is solid advice! Thank you
Can confirm Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental health.
Never even considered this, such a good idea definitely should try it
Unless you have 52 different gyms where you live, you're going to have to move every year at that rate. Not sustainable. Just pick a spread and do rotations every 6 months or something. Just keep in mind you'll never be as good as anything you do as the individuals that only practices one for the same given amount of time. If you want to push limits, there's no going around specialization. Don't be delusional.
His little “why you should run” video covinced 3 of my friends to start running and they have stuck with it for over a year now. THAT’S a thought leader, well done mate.
Good on them
I used to think I was decently strong.
Until I got a job on the railroad. working 10 hour shifts at night, all while squatting, using a sledgehammer, being in a static back raise for several hundred meters etc etc. I figured out alot about my own body and my shortcomings due to a very limited training regime. This channel has really set me on a path better suited for me when it comes to physical and mental fitness!
Thanks alot!
I was having all these concerns about how complex the body is, and how much attention i need to pay to certain muscles that are usually forgotten about, and how it can screw you over in the long run, if not paid attention to.
Thank you for the great video
55 dislikes vs 11k likes, extremely good ratio. I cant imagine who would dislike this video.
I love training outside. It's way more invigorating and refreshing for me. My mentality is to be fatigue resistant with high rep calisthenics. Thanks for your videos!
Iron wolf?
@@parkerwilliamson1205 you know it 🤙🏻💪🏻
Love how he mentioned moving furniture. The home moving business is one of the overlooked workplaces for constant lifting and calisthenic exercise. To be able to use your place of work as a place to train. It frees up more time off the clock you can spend on various other activities instead of going to a gym after a day on a stationary job.
Manual labor workplaces are underrated as well as severely underpaid.
With you 💯!
I have been watching the bioneer for over 7 months and in that seven months I have lost 87lbs and gain an insane amount of muscle. The information provided has always been taken to heart. My life is 100 percent different.
I just wanted you to know this before explaining why I am commenting.
From 7:01-7:06 you are running and it looks like one take save for the birds “glitching” across the sky.
I am not complaining, I am not giving advice on how to be better or anything dumb like that. I just wanted to say that that one detail caught my eye and gave me a chuckle. Thanks!
This was a refreshing vid. I was unknowingly going down a similar path as what is here described. I do farm work, bjj, swim, and all the exercises I perform I've always felt drawn to do them at odd angles. I love the diversity. Prevents burnout.
This is part of the reason why I took on a more physical job
The maladapive response to sitting at a desk all day as actually being a functional adaption to our daily environment was a HUGE insight and I cannot believe I had not considered this before.
12/10 content.
Legit the best on youtube.
I started working as a janitor in a big old building about a year ago. Nothing works there! I hated it in the beginning, huge old doors that weigh a ton to open them and close them, huge old garbage bins made out of iron that weigh a ton when empty, huge hoses I have to lift and move around everytime I have to powerwash something and many other things. The point is I ran into my exgirlfriend couple of weeks ago and she couldn't recognize me, she said I look bigger, stronger...she asked if I'm in the gym and if I'm using steroids or something?!! HAHA...I just answered, "NOPE! I'm just working hard in an huge old building!"...She also asked me if I would like to have some coffee with her one of these days...but that's another story. This video is 100% right, you are shaped by your environment! THUMBS UP! 😎👍
Could not agree more with the final thoughts!
Since having children I have extremely limited resources (time , energy, money for a high protein diet) to properly train like I used to while I was a pro athlete.
So I built a pull-up bar in my yard, a Bulgarian sandbag out of a tire tube, bought some bands, dip bars, a sledge hammer, battle ropes and a tractor tire. I spread them throughout my house and yard (my wife hated me at the start, but now she partakes) and I'm basically repping all day long throughout the day. I even use my children as weights :D
Since implementing this "lifestyle" I've obliterated my gut and am on my way to not only getting my physique back, but surpassing it too. And I don't remember the last time I have a training session that lasted longer than 30min.
Also, I highly recommend Da Rulk's RFT (Raw Functional Training) exercises. It's past overdue that he finally gets the hype he's receiving atm.
Ive been training like this intuitively for the last 2 years when I decided on my goal to just get stronger. In this much I have achieved a physique that most gym goers would envy and still I see so much more room for improvement. It is hard to lose motivation when I can see how much more capabilities my body would have if I was more athletic. I think this video comes close to describing that kind of feeling which I think most people miss out on when doing dull always-the-same kind of workouts. Sure aesthetics is one thing but how would you be performing if we had to fight to death right here and now? Which one of us would emerge victorious? I truly believe people should ask themselves this question more and connect with their primal side. After all that is the closest we ever get to nature.
Replace your stairs with a rope and an escape hatch in the ceiling to get "upstairs", do a vertical drop to the ground when you want to come "downstairs".
Bioneer, I will drop that idea here, since it is on topic - imagine a home space designed around the perfect day. You wake up in a room, pass through the meditation chamber, then your bathroom, then the kitchen, gym space etc. You get the point. A home that takes you on a journey step by step, wothout leaving space for bad choices. A routine, turned habbit, build into stone.
Just want to give kudos to you. I am a personal trainer in Canada and I have been applying these concepts to my clients and my own training now for quite some time. It’s nice to see that I’m not the only animal in the jungle!! Cheers and keep it up!!
Your work is refreshing in a crazy world of 'routine' and 'reps'. I've had people ask me what my training routine is but I don't have one. I'm just glad I'm not the only one that 'trains' like this. Keep up the awesome work. 💪👍
Etm this year?
@@muaychris Not sure at this stage as I'm supposed to be at a rock festival that moved dates... Although I may sneak out for an overnight visit as WTM is looking decidedly less likely in the current climate. 🤔 How about you?
Same here! I was surprised when i discovered this channel. I’ve never adhered to a fixed routine in years. it’s refreshing seeing someone with the same training principles, and 360-mind-body approach.
@@chrisjames5564 I'm i doing it. It'll be a shock to the system, but be good to get some miles in and see how the body holds up. What's the festival? Wtm's not on my radar just now. So a 'local' event is perfect..
@@muaychris Bloodstock festival 🤟🤟
I work construction and wear a weighted vest and bracelets, I try and do some type of movement from time to time, military press unequal grocery bags, run up the stairs, calves raises while walking, etc.
I am from India and I have seen farmers working throughout the day taking rest just for eating lunch with their wives who bring them lunch at the farm. These people don't look like a bodybuilders but they are super strong and their endurance levels are very good
Whilst surrounded by bodybuilders with unrealistic physique without juicying whilst telling you that it is possible. I needed to see someone like Bioneer that promotes calisthenics, healthy and outdoor training. You really inspired me, thank you.
I keep on saying it but he should be on at least 1mill he is the most underated channel
Don't tell us, silly. We're already here.
400 thousand subs in not underrated.
I've actually had a workout set up where I don't repeat exercises I only do one set of each one and just try to balance movements (for upper body I mix push pull open close) I did it partly cause I find it boring and enjoy a range of exercises but I also felt like it was really hard to hit everything. I think this video further supports that idea. (I also rock climb very regularly so I only repeat movements in my supplemental training)
Do you think that the training program was not for you? I highly recommend that you look into training programs that will get to your Goals. There is a path but it is a challenge to achieve it.
It's called ADHD, sir.
@@FunGamingContent well I didn't try any one program I set up my own I prefer doing things this way so I hit as many muscles and types of movements as possible. I think the points that he makes in this video further validate what I'm doing. Also like I said it's supplemental training. Most of my exercise is climbing. I do that for about 3 hours or so then I do my workout for 30 min or so. In a climbing session I usually am projecting one or two problems so I'll do a lot of similar asymmetrical movements so working out helps keep things balanced and increase my overall strength. Once I switch to this new system I jumped 2 grades in 3 months after a hard plateau
Both are good, training for the unpredictable, varied workouts are great for a Base Mesocycle(getting good foundation of general physical preparedness(search Ross Edgley a huge advocate of this)) whilst training programs are more engineered towards specialization or specific goals. But in the end the why not combine the best of both worlds, you have a certain workout with a certain goal(let’s say strengthen your shoulders) you device a workout at the moment utilizing mechanical overload exercises with methods you’ve learned “a man with its own principles can create its own methods. Training plans are methods learn the science behind the madness and you’ll take the reigns of your own fitness.
My wife and I have been going to a Crossfit gym for the last six months and we were just talking yesterday how we don't think we have done the same workout twice. Sure, it is the same movements: pullups, cleans, snatches, squats, burpees, box jumps (okay, there are a lot of movements), but every workout is a different number of reps and sets, done with different stimulus before and after. I have seen results both in the gym and in real life that I have not seen doing regular 5x5 gym workouts. I am stronger in the gym and significantly more fit and strong in the real world.
So while it isn't a perfect example because it is still an hour at the gym every day, I still think it is an example of exactly what you are talking about in this vid. Good stuff.
It's not just about making things easier. Our environment has been an adaptation not just to the work being done, but also litigation. We have made things "safer" to avoid lawsuits. Safety results in less challenge, more stability, and more predictability. And it's killing us.
i can't stop admiring the work of this man in this channel , he's brilliant
I know; right?!? I'm gonna get some merch one of these days 👀✨🤩
Grease the groove is great. The best thing I ever did was switch to a three-times-a-day training schedule. I have done it for a few months now. My progress is steady, I rarely fatigue and no injuries in sight. When I did the classic 3-5 times a week gym schedule it only left me with fatigue and stress. These days most of my training is not even done in the gym. With GTG I get more done with less time spent, all the travel and planning overhead is gone because I don't need the heavy gym equipment every session. I strongly recommend it.
Totally agree i now do short circuits through the day ( 3 to 6 Times a day) 1 set for each muscle group without reaching failure , result is i m less tired, and gaining size while i was already far from skinny. 😃
Preach, brother! 👍👍
Goosebumps dude. They should play this at schools.
Imagine waking up one morning and looking out your window to see the Bioneer maxing out press ups in your back garden.
This stuff is gold. Simply training outdoors can allow you achieve so much more. We don't give enough credit to the potential of what our bodies can achieve.
🙏🏼💖
This channel is gold! I’ve been training outdoors daily in all conditions using what the landscape of Central Park provides. I’ve converted most of my clients to this type of training as well 🤙💪
As a beer delivery driver in a major metro area lifting and moving boxes and kegs from 4am to 2pm, my environment has made me feel like a dwarf in the mines of moria!
I have always been a functional exerciser since youth, stretching the body further in different ways. Gardening became an easy activity I was able to use to build endurance and strength in ways that touched a lot of muscles. Stretching in door frames is an easy one to pull the wings out. Combined with yogic breathing allows for longer cycles and expansion while in position. I just never knew what I was doing. I always used it as a pain killer to stretch any kinks in the body. Effects last long enough that intermittent stretch was enough.
The video thumbnail is a great shot👍😀
I feel that some of these things we already know, we have already noticed this in the everyday life but, we don't fully acknowledge it. This at least for me is true, you slapping this on a video made me say "Of course! This makes sense!" Thank you for the video.
Now that we know better; we gotta do/be better 🙏🏼
this guy is a genius and you cant change my mind
This is highly interesting and i love this thought process. I actively do some of these things before even watching the video and didn't actually realize how much it was helping me, i just thought to myself that if anyone saw me i would look weird... Like twisting my torso while i brush my teeth in the morning to train my obliques (Only just started this) or purposely doing things at work the harder way because it's more taxing on my body. It's also part of why i like calisthenics. Instead of paying money and going to a gym to lift weights i just go down to the park and using the playground to do pull ups and embrace the elements, whether it's cold or sunny i'm getting my workout in regardless
Your idea is genius I'm gonna build my home to be that way
I'm also inspired, walking up and down stairs is overrated
@@catcat4697 If you walk on them, then YES.
@@InYourFaceMoFo stairs do make for a great prep for just jumping down the drop, you can jump from one step higher each time until the impact becomes safe. So fair point, I'll edit my comment
This was so interesting! It is no wonder that so many of us are out of shape, given the fact that we continually try to make everything that we do easier.
Every video by Adam is a feast for the mind and body.
I swear iam doing this every day 2 hours bro,is the best way to be strong,quite,and gains! Respect from kurdistan🙏
My favorit video off all time bro,thanks that there is peopil in this earth that they feel same way.
That adaptation room sounds like a brilliant idea. Maybe someday in the future these could become a thing. On top of my lifting workouts and boxing classes I also have a spare bedroom that I use for VR, reaction ball training, and proprioception workouts such as handstands and planches. A way more mild version of the room you described but I’m in love with the concept.
I find it funny how you scarred the goats doing a pushup at 3:25. Also great video as always
Never disappointed with this content. Balanced, concise, intelligent..

Nice way to look at things from a physiological perspective.
Yes we are an organism and we evolved from a lot of adaptations to survive. Our bodies are no different. How we shape ourselves is how we shape our future. Excellent video
The algorithms finally did me good with finding this channel. The content is so unique and great.
In a sense, the algorithm blessed you, this is indeed an amazing channel. I have been subbed to it for a while now, but just a few days ago I started actively watching it for real (1-2 vids a day)
I believe a specialization is as important as generalization.
And because of that I believe we don’t need to be able to do everything, we just have to do the things needed to reach our goals (this might mean experimenting and testing someone else’s theories and ideas), but never the less, not trying new things without analyzing it’s potencial and trying it to see it’s benefits is a mistake I’ve made in the past
How about specializing in generalizing, human beings have been able to thrive because of their ability of being capable of doing a myriad of things, from climbing trees, mountains, endurance running, swimming, crawling, digging, etc... We are not even remotely close to being the best at any of these, however we are capable of doing all of them, this allows us to be competent in any environment and be complete, that’s why a human can survive both in the artic tundra and the desert whilst the cheetah doesn’t even though it is the fastest lane animal+ most examples of hyper specialization in animals lead to extinction, so yes specialize to your environments but realize that your greatest edge is being able to do everything, specialize in being general
@@martinlazarini2653 nope, we specialize to handle certain types of environments, and I’m not saying “neglect everything to become the best you can in a giving thing” but, specialize in one thing so you can gain a new ability or skill that you would otherwise wouldn’t gain from just letting you’re environment shape you.
I think it’s just a good counter argument to the bioneer’s vid
O think you’ll like Ross Edgley’s Training Cycle Methodology, which consist out of 2 main components, a Base Mesocycle, which focuses on being general, making sure that you have the capability to do everything and anything in equal measure(building a foundation if you will), and a Build(Specialization) Mesocycle, in which you take your general fitness qualities and utilize them to train and specialize for a specific task or event.
@@martinlazarini2653 yes and no, more like a westside barbell concurrent periodization, but currently without some exercises, like bench press and squat, I tend to not do them and switch them for sprints, sled sprints, box jumps, etc. I change my training plan based on where I am and of course, current goal and weaknesses
Or maybe combine the best of both, your training sessions focused on specific goals and training whilst your environment or out of training activity is more varied and general to fill the gaps that you current skill doesn’t cover but will still help you in your training sessions. For example, Novak Djokovic stretches 4 times a day, is stretching tenis related not necessarily, but it aids inmensely for his recovery, mobility, joint pressure, movement etc... which is a crucial factor in his game style, he trains tenis by doing maintenance work on other “non-tenis”activities. (Sorry couldn’t send this earlier)
What a great video! It actually brought me to some ideas. Every evening i writ mathematical tasks on a paper, and then put it in the closet in my kitchen. Every time i want cookies i need to solve one of the tasks. And one of them was so hard, that i hadn't eaten any cookies for 5 days. It is a very good way to keep feet, and to do homework.
I like this concept! It makes sense. Form follows function. If you climb push run and jump all day your body will adapt, if you sit all day you body will adapt! For the Q&A, if you could only do 5 exercises or five movements to train your body for the rest of your life what would you choose and why? And in what order would you rank the 5 exercises?
Gymnastics and Calisthenics are both predicated on the idea of using one's own body as the resistance generating machine. Instead of externalizing the entirety of that dreamworld, realize the body's potential to internalize that, and no one will be able to accuse you of being excessively high-concept.
Very interesting video topic, & I especially loved your explanation for the main reasons for overuse injuries & imbalances. I think this is one of the most commonly misunderstood issues in our field.
At 11:40, the parenthesis are optional, multiplication being commutative and associative, then (a*b*c)*c=a*b*c*d=a*(b*c)*d=(a*b)*(c*d)=c*d*b*a
:)
Great video. I'm a hiker and use a lot of core. When mooching about the city I put weights in my sack. People think it's just an ordinary shopping sack but know it has intent. And when I do shop and walk back a few mile (with hills purposefully included) it's even heavier. I love it. Mark
This was weirdly motivating. I think working from home can have a great effect on people if you incorporate these light mini-sessions throughout the day!
Great video. I'm super curious how you make training like this practical. Weather, meetings, parenting needs, and much more often make "just go outside and do some crap" problematic. I'd love to see a companion "low concept" video which covers the practical matter of getting varied stimulus from your environment with real world needs.
figure it out
The only thing I'd say about making a house/ environment that challenges you such that it strengthens you is that it better have a mechanism for when you get ill or for emergencies or even for moving massive furniture. You don't want to have to traverse a climbing wall to get to a loved one in trouble or not have access to first aid when you're injured because the cupboard with the first aid kit is too heavy/ complex to open with one arm or when dizzy. The ideas in the vid are awesome but think it through guys
I’d thought of the getting ill thing but moving furniture is a very good point 😂😂 A few people have commented that it has the makings of a good horror movie!
I've been watching your channel for a while now, and never felt like i was being sold BS. and for that i thank you, you make me want to see what it means to become a stronger human. I wish you luck on your future goals, and dreams sir.
I want to live in a adaptation facilitation machine.
yes! more languages and more environments shape multiple personalities... and plasticity :) Thanks for showcasing science to mirror my own personal beliefs
100% the best health and fitness channel
you are the BEST fitness channel of all time
I never felt as fit as when I did farm work. Environment definitely outcompetes anything that can be accomplished is one hour gym sessions.
Question: Would you say having a “rule” for certain things in the home would help ? For instance encouraging our family to do 5 squats or 10 jumping jacks prior to opening the fridge? I want to know how I could help my teens learn and understand these concepts. Thank you
Good idea
Maybe just try to apply it mostly to you to lead by example? If it really works for you maybe they will try it! And there’s no pressure of resistance. Just a thought :)
Rules aren't nearly as effective as the environment. If you can find ways to make the movements mandatory, like the example of "heavy doors" or "balance beam in the hallway" from the video, it gives the user no choice. When given a choice (like ignoring the rule) we tend to fall to the easiest option.
I’d say get them safely into skateboarding or gymnastics, martial arts or dance. Something that offers a spiritual, physical and mental challenge on a regular basis and at the same time is fun very healthy in a social sense (as a majority of the people who do these things have something about them) I’d say that’s the starting point. My son showed an interest in the gym from an early age so I take him every single weekend. But In showing interest in skateboarding and martial arts, that’s where the magic happened with him, he’s got Asperger’s syndrome, martial art and skateboarding co ordinated him gave him an outlet gave my teen a proper outlet to express himself.
Earlier in life, when I played much more videogames than I do now, i had these type of self-imposed rules. I used to play a lot of deathmatch games. Between rounds, depending on how long the lobby lasted, I would do a combo of pushups, situps, pull-ups, and squats. It works well.
Been following your channel for a while. Haven’t watched all your vids but I’ve watched a lot of them. Truly respect your philosophy on training and living. I always feel more educated and inspired after watching. Top 5 fitness channel imho.
I just want to say thank you for making this video. A lot of what you are saying came intuitively to me as I was teaching myself how to play the piano. Over three years, I realised that the best way to practice a piece was by "cold starting" once an hour, and play it only once resisting the urge to replay it if I made a mistake. Instead of playing ten reps in a go, I would play those ten reps once every hour, and the performance gains are amazing. Just picking up calisthenics and I came across your channel. Thank you, and thank you again.
This os the most inspiring, down-to-earth, no-BS fitness channel in all of YT. If you feel inspired by this video go get "Functional Training and beyond", by the guy who did it. It expands on this training philosophy.
Recently started high volume calisthenics and nothing hits my muscles quite like it.
Love your calisthenics stuff !! Keep uploading them.
Currently reading the book. The idea you describe at the end of this video is not goofy at all and is a great example of how we need to refine/redefine not only our lifestyles, but also our education. Leading by example is definitely the first step in that direction. Respect, Adam. 👊

I love the overall message, but this does seem to be getting dangerously close to the Noble Savage Myth. I appreciate you putting in the 'this essay is not arguing that we should go back to the wild' at 10:41.
Yes - maybe I should have laboured that point more. Genuinely not saying that the natural environment was necessarily optimal. Only that our current one definitely is not 😂😂
@@TheBioneer Think this is actually closer to the Monastic model, specifically Shaolin or WuDang. Staying in Theravadin monasteries is all tiled floors, wooden pillows, crosslegged meditation and slow motion walking practice all day long. No food after 12, 4-5 hours sleep a night. deep meditation being the x factor in their conditioning /recovery. Add into that the warrior monks would work manually slowly and mindfully for x hours a day and but then also do forms, sparring, workouts in nature - seems very similar to what you're describing.
@@powerbite92 4-5 hours of sleep a night is extremely unhealthy and unsustainable. I wont debate it, is a fact verified by science. Do your research.
@@juliocesarsalazargarcia6872 I am describing a system of spiritual practice that has been around for 2,500 years without much deviation. I am describing that system of practice to the bioneer in case he might be interested in it. In the sentence you refer to I said specifically - after the punctuation mark - that deep meditation is seen as the x factor in their recovery process: which it is. I did not say that I recommended limited sleep or anything else that they do, only that there were general similarities between his video discussion and what they do.
WHEN I recommend it and say that '4-5 hours of sleep a night is the best way to go" THEN you will be entitled to your angry comments but I made no such recommendations.
Personally I am not a fan of 4-5 hours sleep a night and would not recommend it but that is a faithful description of this lifestyle (that has been practiced for 1000s of years - misguided or not). What is there for me to research here? What part of their routine did I describe mistakenly? I don't think we should shoot the messenger just because they relayed information.
Furthermore, when you say that this practice is 'unsustainable' then that is belied by the fact these monks do, indeed, practice this regimen day after day their whole lives, generation after generation, for 100s and then 1000s of years. They may be doing this mistakenly, that's possible, but it can hardly be 'scientific fact' that it is unsustainable when it has instead been sustained for such a long amount of time and for many generations.
In your hurry to seem knowledgeable and contradict me you have only shown that you are so impatient that you did not read what I wrote properly and so volatile that you started giving commands to people when they have merely given an accurate description of a process whilst neither condemning nor approving of that process.
I feel he is the only one surviving in a big crisis
Yeah, his physical and mental skills are more superior than an average person. If an apocalypse happens I would like to be his neighbor
There just isn't an equivalent to the greatness of your channel
I just love the quality of content, from some of the amazing shots, to the knowledge and inspiration you spread around.
Thanks a lot for that, really!
This has always been my head canon for DBZ in why current timeline Trunks still looks like a kid but Future Trunks looks like an adult. Cause he was constantly fighting, surviving, and training in the environment he grew up in so his body had to adapt. Kid Trunks live a much more pampered life style and thus still a kid and not as mature.
I mean... future trunks looks like an adult because he's from the future. He is older that kid trunks so he looks older.
I've never been this early lol. Keep posting your amazing content!
I love your idea of having an environment that is always keeping us sharp, and strong. Btw, I've recently sub'd you and have spent a bunch of time catching up on your content and as a martial artist and physical laborer and working professional find it the top notch theories and thoughts and training that a person like me needs ! Love it!
I don't know how, but your videos and information are only getting better EVERY time. I am sharing these to my brother and friends.
