Former active duty US Marine Sergeant. I only do pull-ups, dips, diamond push-ups, and squats and kettlebells. Plus a 30 min run 3 times a week. I'm 55 and ripped and lean. I see muscle-heads trying to do one pull-up correctly and they can't. All my pull-ups are chest to bar. I reverse ladder from 10 to 1 with all four exercises. For squats I do variations like reverse nordics from standing back to standing and cossack squats. For kettlebells I only do swings, TGU, squats and military presses from the clean. What you're doing absolutely is all a man needs. It's all tried and true.
I agree with the upstanding Marine. I'm (soon to be) retired Army and 90% of my workouts are based on stuff I learned at Fort Benning 25 years ago: pushups, chins/pullups, dips, squats, etc.
I’ll be 59 in July,,,You guys(military) are my inspiration, i’ve exercised my whole life and always been into some sort of sport…I came across a four hour and 20 minute buds training video by accident one day that led me to David Goggins and a number of others. I have not been back to my gym since Covid started in March 2020. I do everything in my garage and around the block and in the hills after work. I’ve flipped a tire for a mile which almost killed me but I did it. I’ve done 22 walking lunges and 10 push-ups over and over for a mile… Didn’t think I was going to make it but it was the best workout ever had. All the while keeping the military training as my motivation!🔥🔥🔥💯👊🏻
"Don't let a fitness guru destroy your curiosity." Man, this is something I NEEDED to hear about 4 years ago. Probably one of the single best pieces of advice anybody can hand out. Just put the work in. Don't let some stranger tell you you can't do "x" because of "y." Do what works for YOU!
@@x-techgamingif you’ve not found out yet, kyle does 3 sets of a pull/push/legs every day of the week as he explains in the video. He adds accessory exercises sometimes and manages volume and intensity from day to day judging by the way he feels. He does about 50 reps of pull, 100 of push and 150-500 legs. It’s really interesting because I can’t stand a push/pull/leg program or to specify a day on a muscle/area, I usually train for 2/3 days and quit like literally. On the other hand, with Kyle’s program I can train for weeks like I am doing right now. Physiological hygiene as he calls it is a good way to describe it !
Dude been watching your vid nonstop for the past few days.. Your content is amazing and your passion for helping out people in this type of fitness, bodyweight is just what I really love about you and your channel. Definitely a hidden gem that deserves more love.
Great videos and informations about bw training. Do you have any other activities involved in your life like a sport or an outdoor activity that you like to performe? Or it is just like that?
Thank you Kyle for sharing this information. I am 75 years old and have started following your program. I have always done some form of exercising to stay healthy. I look forward to learning more from you.
This is a fantastic way to train. I was floundering for a while watching videos for ideas, trying this and that, and now I do push/pull/squat every day. Takes no time at all, I blast it out at 6am, feel great all day, and cannot wait to do the same the next day. I have to actually stop myself from doing too much volume because I enjoy it so much. I think this channel is going to encourage a lot of people to just do it. Especially when they see how little investment of time and money is involved. It is very refreshing to just watch someone exercising very simply. Thanks for the great content.
Do you find you make much progress and strength gains using this approach or just maintaining a certain level? Glad it's working for you, sounds good! I've got a bit of building up to do so am hoping to find a sustainable approach where I slowly improve
@@micah1754 Yes, progress comes quickly, more so with regards to strength and definition. I have mixed it up a little with regards to training splits, and am still experimenting with that. I find that physically moving your body through space gives so much more overall benefit to body composition than lifting weights. The only caveat I would point out though is to be kind to your joints and tendons if you are new to it or a little bit older like myself. Consistency and steady progress is the order of the day.
Your analysis and thinking process about exercise is so amazing. In an fitness culture riddled with misinformation, you eloquently cut right through the smoke and mirrors.
Just 3 weeks in.... its the most sustainable start to any program I've ever done. Results are coming in, slowly, but certainly noticeable. The strength, plus hypertrophic response, are palpable!! 💪🏾🤙🏾🕉
I have been lifting weights for so long but I have always been envious of the men who mastered calisthenics. You have motivated to make the shift. I want this heavy muscle off me. Want to get back to my athletic days when I played basketball in college. Excessive muscle is overrated. Want to just feel light and be functionally strong.
Dude this is so cool to hear! Returning to an athletic body type with broader athletic capability is so fun. Nothing wrong with being a mass monster if it supports your athletic and aesthetic goals, but for me, being leaner, faster, having a bottomless gas tank beat the hell out of trying to be bing and lift heavy. I was up to 230 at one point, force feeding, trying to be big just so I could move heavy weight, and then I finally threw in the towel and decided to lean out, move better, and try to turn into a someone that radiated vitality (not sure if I accomplished that last one 😂, but that was my intention). Anyway, I felt WAY better after leaning out and restoring my athleticism.
Your videos have been inspiring for the last few weeks, your approaches employing minimalism add concentration and reveal a lot about nuances regarding training,volumes, recovery and etc I am really enjoying your content, how you keep things short and informative. I want to thank you immensely for the hard work you are doing ! Oleg
Hey man! Just wanted to let you know, I discovered your channel last night and stayed up until 2am watching almost every video. My regular morning routine consists of dropping my wife off at work and driving to the gym for a heavy workout. This morning I sat in the parking lot of the gym for a solid 10 minutes then drove back home, dug up my old pull up bar from our shed and completed this Day 1 workout. My gym pass expires next week so the timing couldn’t have been better. Looking forward to seeing where my new calisthenics journey takes me! Thank you!
Been great man. I mounted a pull up bar to my wall, bought a weight vest, parallel bars etc and have been doing his work outs consistently. Been doing this for about 3 months now, 5 days a week. Lots of improvements with my push-ups and squats, and pull ups. For example, Pulls ups went from sets of 9 to sets of 14.
I competitively rowed for 6 years. During the pandemic, I focused only on barbell movements and as a result my body felt out-of-sync, my cardio plummeted, and I wasn't feeling healthy. For the past 6 months, I switched to functional kettlebell exercises inspired by Joe Rogan, Obi Vincent, and Pavel Tsatsouline. I also did time-restricted eating, eating all my meals within 10 hrs per day (usually 1030am to 830pm). My body has balanced out, I feel stronger, and healthier. After recently discovering your channel, I look forward to incorporating some of the principles you describe into my workouts. Great content keep it up sir!
Hey kid right now I want to thank you for all your work and effort. Especially within your education and communication skills I'm 50 I knew there was something however I didn't know the how. Thank you. You put it together for me. Quite litteraly you have saved my life. I subscribed I leave a like on all your videos. Once again I thank you. God bless my brother be safe and be good
Salvatore! This means a lot my friend! Thank you for your support and hearing stuff like this is incredible. So happy the content has been meaningful. Much love, brother, and if you ever have any questions, just let me know. 🙏💪
I like what I'm seeing-count me in! Okay... I'm looking forward to the exercises, of course. But for now, I'd best focus on getting myself a nice yard like this to work out in. It's gonna be so great; man am I pumped!! 😃
I want to give you a huge thank you for your channel as a whole. These last few days i’ve been going through mental turmoil about self improvement and my self image and i’ve also been wanting to begin working out. i am 16 only 5’9 and 140 lbs and i want to become more muscular and stronger to better myself. i got a set of parallel dip bars and resistance bands since i can’t do pull-ups. I’m going to begin using your calisthenics template and rewatch your videos constantly. thank you for your work it’s helping me immensely 🙏🏾
This looks really interesting and perfect for a time of limited gym access and equipment access. A few of the movements you demonstrate are past my current progression, but I look forward to listening more about the principles behind your training and scaling them down to what's doable for me. Thank you!
Hey Kyle I just wanted to congratulate you on the amazing work you are doing providing this information. I was actually looking for this kind of training that will allow me to play the long game. I am also impressed seeing the growth of your channel by the hour. Keep up the good work and thank you for your service!
By far the most aesthetic and functional outcomes come from calisthenics. I recently started doing a daily full body workout of 5sets pullups, 5 sets dips and 5sets bodyweight squats. Im feeling great, and im amazed that ive found your channel! I love that you said you will do this type of exercise until you are too old to continue! In my view that will be when we are dead!
@@micah1754 Hi Micah, Im fluctuating between 3 and 5 sets, i also spread out my sets on "Rest days". So maybe 3 sets and then 2 sets later in the day. I also reduce my reps or do an easier variation if im feeling like i need the rest. My last workout i did sets of 8 on pullups, sets of 15 on dips and sets of 20 on bodyweight squats. Im hoping to work up to 15 pullups, 25 dips and 50 squats! Whats kind of routine are you currently doing?
@@micah1754 Im also eating a surplus of calories atm, since im trying to grow. The weight gain will also reduce the amount of reps ill be able to do, but its all part of the journey!
I've been enjoying pull ups and push ups recently a lot. I've been aiming for 100 pushups in however long it takes me with 30s work and 90s rest. generally takes me about 15 minutes or less. 50 pull ups the same way takes me less than 15 minutes. I think it's a fun way to get some exercise in without spending a lot of time on it. I've definitely become stronger from it, and enjoyability is very important. If working out isn't enjoyable, I won't be in it as much, and I won't get results.
I'm really enjoying your videos. I especially appreciate that your videos are concise, and that your approach is straightforward and intelligent. Im really benefitting from your insight and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. I'm an aging athlete and have had a similar experience to you (with respect to something you said in your video), as far as feeling like my body has taken a bit of a beating from strength through weight training over the years. I really feel like your philosophy resonates with me. Im working through several injuries from training and am looking forward to recalibrating my mindset and approach to fitness and wellness, due to your inspiring videos. Just wanted to say thanks.
Amazing information, I like this because there is less information on other videos and more show-off. But I like your work and started using your information and it's really helpful for me. So, thank you sir
since starting calisthenics and ring workouts i feel my endurance and strength increasing, on top of adopting a WFPB diet 10 months ago - down 40 pounds. My leg workout, so far - all body weight - 5 x 50squats, 5 x 20 glute bridge, 5 x 20 pike, 5 x 35 calf raise - today I start just squats - 10 x 40-50
been doing calisthenics since 2020, and now starting to see some results. Yet I still couldn't be consistent with my schedule since I don't really have someone to ask or to apply some methods. I've just watched a bunch of tips and tricks across internet. and now RUclips has sent me to you, someone with a great explanation all rounded. I will be watching all of your journey, and will keep taking a notes from each video terima kasih!
Hey there my friend. I've definitely been enjoying daily pushups and pullups but I'll tell ya if done too much you can easily burn out. I'm going to grt back to the basics because everytime I watch your videos I get reminded to get back to my three sets and no More than that. Too many pushups also burnt me out. Thx for the heads up on your cool ass video s.
@@Kboges That's what I was thinking. I was considering going all calisthenics except for deadlifts, that one, big, super-heavy, all-body movement that you need real heavy weights for. Minimal equipment needed, just buy a buncha cinderblocks and a long pipe and pass it thru them. I think everything else but that can be sufficiently hit by calisthenics, isometrics and dynamic tension.
These videos are awesome! I've been trying it for some time, and I love it! It's just simple but effective! I just want to know if I wanna be an exercise expert like you, what major should I choose to study in college? The courses that will lay the foundation for me to be an expert like you. Thank you so much!
My question, and maybe you can make a vid about it, is how you warm up and cool down. I am, after much consideration and calculating, switching to a GTG/high frequency training style and want to consolidate my warm up/cool down to shorten (potentially) daily time investment. Please talk about warm up/cool down!
signed up for your community. hoping to make the switch to consistent workout flow. i wake up at 630a to take a cold shower for 5 mins, meditate for the remains 25mins before code till 11a. the plan is to workout for an hour before eating and heading to work at 2p.
Love this style of training, really enjoying your videos. I notice sometimes you kind of superset the exercises but in this video you did all your sets with one exercise before moving onto another. Would you recommend one way or another for a beginner or should I mix it up? Cheers!
I would do 10 push ups at at time, Id finish with 100 hundred a day, some days Id hit 80 anyway after 3 months I was able to do 90 push ups in 4 mins. I’d do 5 pulls up a set ending with 35 a day my shoulder for some reason get hurt easy on a pull up if I go hard, due to old swimming and parkour injuries. I rebuilt my hips doing really slow full range squats, but I built my way to full range holding to a pole while waiting for the bus. Basically Id work out through out the whole day and became very athletic.
Thank you for this, you’ve given me confidence in my workouts that most others would consider weak. Do you have any tips for balancing the left and right side of your body? I had an elbow surgery ten years ago and my right side has been weaker than my left since.
man as a tennis player I want to stay lean or better, get lean again at 43. I need to increaee strength and muscles because both are underdeveloped over the last 15 years of working primarily seated. I’m doing the usual thing atm, meaning gym, weights, barbells, but also body weight exercises. I couldn’t do a pull up in may. Now I can do 3 sets of 4-5. Getting better slowly. But I don’t have a pull up bar at home and can’t install one. the ones in the door frame don’t fit or don’t hold. so I do them in the gym every other day together with the lifting. I’m unsure at this point what to do or how to proceed. at home I have the following equipment: 2 mats, 2 dumbbells that can carry up to 10 kg each, a straight barbell + weights, 2 dip bars, two small bars for elevated push ups, a couple of bands, a doorframe I can perform a bad pull up or chin up on (the door frame is about 4 cm thick so I can rest about the two first 2 phalanges on it. it works but the fingers fatigue quickly of course) I see your vids and believe that I can get better with the exercises you do but I feel like I still lack strength in a lot of key muscles and joints. (ankle front tendon is weak as hell, hip flexors, hamstrings, dorsal chain stretch capability is really poor. trapezoid, wrists, and bizeps tendons are also weak points. I have a long history of chronic pain in all body parts. MDs got me pills but that’s not the way I wanna live all my life.
Kyle, first day I completed 3 sets of push ups, 10, 9 and 8 before my form broke down. I was sore the next day and so I did 3 sets of 30 squats. I’m 54 and I’m not conditioned. Is it ok in the beginning to complete 2-3 sets each day of one of the movements until conditioning improves? I’m beginning to walk 1.5 to 2 miles per day Thank you for your assistance.
The pushups you do at 3:00 are my favourite ever, and I did them at 17 years old cause I want more upper chest. Now at 30 I only start doing them again, but with more focus on the form for sure. 2 sets close to failure with 3/5min rest are good for begginers?
Man, you really take a lot of cognitive load off of building muscle and fitness. I wish I had started my fitness journey with something like this instead of Starting Strength or some PPL workout. Not that those aren't great, but I'm such a fan now of frequent medium intensity, high rep workouts. I figured that out when my left arm got big enough to be noticed by other people after I had been carrying my baby around every evening for an hour or so over my left shoulder, so my wife could get some sleep. After a few months the left and right difference between my arms and shoulders looked comical. And while carrying the baby was a bit exhausting, it never felt nearly as intense as a "real" workout. It just took some time out of my day that I would have wasted anyway.
I am almost 52 and I havent worked out since 2005 when I got into partying pretty heavily, then depression... what do you recommend for someone like me getting back into the swing of things after so long and after losing all my core strength??? And a huge Thanks to your channel for inspiring me to get my 'center' back after so long!!!!!!! 🙏
Great work! have a question, can you advice when should the inhaling and exhaling be done during any exercise? you can take an example of push ups or pull ups
This is a really great question, Stanley. Here is how I see it... My physique is the sum total of a life of being active and training. I started doing basic calisthenics and some limited weight lifting in 7th grade, and have been pretty much training constantly since. I've definitely had several blocks of time where I pursued more weight lifting goals, but this basic full body calisthenics training has always been the foundation to which I attribute to a TON of my fitness, body composition and general athleticism, and yes it accounts for the VAST majority of the training over my life. In the last 20 years, I've had long stretches (years) where I didn't do anything other than this workout and during these years, my physique always continued to develop. Now, I've been doing calisthenics almost exclusively (I will trap bar deadlift 1-4x every 2 months or so, for fun) for the last 4 years, and my body composition and overall aesthetics have continued to improve.
Hi Kyle I live in San Diego as well and am 75 years old.. I try and walk my 10,000 steps daily but I need to start doing more physical exercise. I can do some incline push ups. I even have a pull up bar in the garage but can’t do them any more. How does one my age get started? Where is your gym located here in San Diego? 🤔
Hey Rick, good to hear you are as active as you are! Very impressive, brother! Hangs are good, and rows are fantastic. They will both serve you very well. My gym was off Mission Gorge. I sold it in 2017 and switched to moving my training online.
Hey man what's up, great content you have, also love the idea of someone building muscle buy just body workout, gym membership s and supplements elite, just once us wasting tons of money won't admit it, just check out Greek statues they didn't have anything but body the skills move it and good food, anyway I'm starting this journey complete from cero had question besides body training do you follow any especific diet is so what's good and what's bad to consume? Blessings from Guadalajara Mexico.
Hey Adrian! Thanks for the kind words. For diet, I eat really food, practice fasting, and try to hit a protein target. Super simple stuff that I can maintain. Cooking for myself is key.
@@Kboges thanks man matter of fact I'm on a 48 hour fasting right now, and it feels great, I guess that once I start working out you mean intermittent fasting? A video on that will be great we all love this info thanks man keep it up we need more souls like you to win the battle against everything that's coming up the first attack is on health and masculinity.
After finding your video" training for helth" here i am gona get to all of your videos...is it ok to do some resistance band isolation work for arms, and so forth ????
Hey, great video! I’m just starting out in muscle training. I’m 27 and little bit confused what exercises to implement in my day to day life. Can you please help with that?
I like your comment about "not letting fitness gurus" destroy your curiosity. There definitely are a lot of those in the fitness industry. It really doesn't promote free thinking.
It has been a couple of years since I last left a comment. I am now 77 1/2 and am getting back to working on aspects of your program. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 202. Do you have any advice for an old guy like myself?
Really enjoy your videos, What’s your opinion on emom training ? I’ve been training for 5 years in just calisthenics. My workouts always consistent of very high reps and chasing numbers and not necessarily the best form. I’ve also done months specially in the winter with weights and got my dips up to 2 reps with 160 and pull ups 3 reps with 90. I injured my elbows and cause subluxation in my shoulder from doing tons of reps that took me out for almost two months now. I’m just stating to get back into it and slowly getting back into it. My chiropractor got me to fix the problem by adjusting me and having me strengthen my accessory muscles like my rhomboids and traps.. Interesting that you say volume doesn’t equal strength necessarily and the benefit of low intensity days. How come volume doesn’t add more strength
When I was 11-13 years and feard my stepfather i startet training with the 2 only weigts I had every night just before bedtime. I knew nothing about training, I just followed the suggustion on the packet from the weigts. I took as many reps I could every time. After some mounths I did over 100 biceps curls. I diddent se it then, but I see pictures of myself shredded, and I remember beeing one of the best in armwrestling and wrestling. It’s first after seeing youre videos I understand why 😄
First of all - your videos are absolute breeze. BUT, I would to know where to start? It’s so difficult to do pull ups from start. A beginners guide will do a lot of great for the community :)
If I train every day and focus on pull ups, push ups, and squats, Is there a maximum number of sets and reps beyond which there are almost no gains and lots of recovery issues ? Is there a sweet spot of sets and reps which balances gains and recovery or is that just based upon the reality of what you can do and recover from ?
Yes. It’s likely to vary depending on the exercise and the person. On average, many evidence based experts will suggest 10-20 sets per muscle group per week. It’s worth noting that volume doesn’t scale linearly with gains, so doubling the volume does not seem to double the rate of progress.
@@Kboges Yes I’ve seen studies that suggest that 10-20 is the optimal amount after which gains could be very small but also studies suggesting that even as low as 4-6 sets a week per muscle group spread over at least two separate days delivers 70% to 80% of the maximum gains available. So your beginner workout of one set per muscle group done every day delivers 7 sets a week and looks like a great minimalist option. Could even be scaled back to just 5 days and 5 sets as noted in your video. For most people there probably is little to gain from doing more, especially for older folks more prone to injury. I’m doing your one set a day routine and it’s working well so far. Workouts are short and I enjoy and look forward to them. Thanks for the channel. Valuable information without lots of unnecessary fluff lol.
I have done GTG a lot in the past and I think it is a great way to train. At a certain point, higher effort sets are going to be more productive than sets further from failure, but spreading out high effort sets throughout the day works incredibly well, even though it isn't technically GTG, which is more for practice.
I’ve been an avid lifter for four years. Training 3 to 4 days a week with barbells, dumbbells, and chin ups/pull ups. Im moving across the country and Im not bringing my garage gym with me. I want to start training everyday. Do you think three working sets for pull ups, push-ups, and lunges/squats everyday is a good place to start? It’s so simple sounding that my brain just wants to overcomplicate it.
So I just found your channel. I have a question when it comes to flexibility. I recognize that I have lost a lot of range of motion in pretty much all areas of my body. My main concern is in my legs/hips. I am very inflexible and am trying to come up with some kind of game plan to become more limber, especially in my legs. I currently have a pull up bar set up I bought that is about 4 feet wide and about seven feet tall set up in my room along with rings. I also have resistance bands and what looks like an 8 foot strap with about twelve available loops. I pretty much throw that over the bar, hook my leg in one of the loops and pull with my hands to stretch out my legs some. I dont know if this is something you incorporate into your workouts but I'd like to maybe see a video on what you do for range of motion or how you go through your workouts to maintain or increase your flexibility. I am currently stretching after my workouts but there is a back and forth I've been seeing online about the timing of stretching. I know I see a lot of pro athletes stretch prior to intense exercises and was wondering if you can kind of go over that aspect. I am currently overweight so my priorities are to kind of do an overall thing in terms of my exercises which are in line with what you do in terms of trying to master the basics. I have a set of 50lb a piece power block dumbells along with the other stuff I mentioned that I use for strength training, along with lunges, squats using my dumbells and a weighted vest. I walk for cardio mainly but I also enjoy jumping rope. The only thing I am missing is like I said a good stretching program because my flexibility is poor in my hips and legs in most directions, thanks.
I don't know if this has been asked before, but I can't find any of your videos (which are great) or comments about it. How do you warmup for these workouts? Or how do you recommend warming up best for a tight time budget?
Yeah circuit training can be great. It really depends on your goals though. If you want to maximize the per-set stimulus, take a good long rest between sets to make sure you can put forth high effort and quality.
@@Kboges Thank you so much for the reply, I wasn't sure whether you would see it or not and was about to send an email 😁. Love your channel, greetings from India 😊
curious about your pullup bar design.. is the frame for the pullup bar made of wood or metal? how far in to the ground does it go, etc been comparing designs before I build something in the back yard. thanks
Hey man. i have been doing calisthenics for over 3 years. i love it , trying to get better and learn every day. however i am struggling with few things mostly with my program creation. Where is it possible to reach out to you please

Man what's your exact split and exercise program like? Coming from a guy looking to get ripped too
I’ll be 59 in July,,,You guys(military) are my inspiration, i’ve exercised my whole life and always been into some sort of sport…I came across a four hour and 20 minute buds training video by accident one day that led me to David Goggins and a number of others. I have not been back to my gym since Covid started in March 2020. I do everything in my garage and around the block and in the hills after work. I’ve flipped a tire for a mile which almost killed me but I did it. I’ve done 22 walking lunges and 10 push-ups over and over for a mile… Didn’t think I was going to make it but it was the best workout ever had. All the while keeping the military training as my motivation!🔥🔥🔥💯👊🏻
"Don't let a fitness guru destroy your curiosity."
Man, this is something I NEEDED to hear about 4 years ago. Probably one of the single best pieces of advice anybody can hand out. Just put the work in. Don't let some stranger tell you you can't do "x" because of "y." Do what works for YOU!
Exactly! Happy that resonated with you. Thanks for the feedback, brother!

Yeah... What kind of program is this??
@@x-techgamingif you’ve not found out yet, kyle does 3 sets of a pull/push/legs every day of the week as he explains in the video. He adds accessory exercises sometimes and manages volume and intensity from day to day judging by the way he feels. He does about 50 reps of pull, 100 of push and 150-500 legs. It’s really interesting because I can’t stand a push/pull/leg program or to specify a day on a muscle/area, I usually train for 2/3 days and quit like literally. On the other hand, with Kyle’s program I can train for weeks like I am doing right now. Physiological hygiene as he calls it is a good way to describe it !

@@Kbogesjust out of curiosity, what’s your height and weight?
This is a fantastic way to train. I was floundering for a while watching videos for ideas, trying this and that, and now I do push/pull/squat every day. Takes no time at all, I blast it out at 6am, feel great all day, and cannot wait to do the same the next day. I have to actually stop myself from doing too much volume because I enjoy it so much.
I think this channel is going to encourage a lot of people to just do it. Especially when they see how little investment of time and money is involved. It is very refreshing to just watch someone exercising very simply. Thanks for the great content.
Thanks! Exactly right. yeah my hope is that people just do SOMETHING rather than nothing. Fitness doesn't need to complicated.
Do you find you make much progress and strength gains using this approach or just maintaining a certain level?
Glad it's working for you, sounds good! I've got a bit of building up to do so am hoping to find a sustainable approach where I slowly improve
@@micah1754 Yes, progress comes quickly, more so with regards to strength and definition. I have mixed it up a little with regards to training splits, and am still experimenting with that. I find that physically moving your body through space gives so much more overall benefit to body composition than lifting weights. The only caveat I would point out though is to be kind to your joints and tendons if you are new to it or a little bit older like myself. Consistency and steady progress is the order of the day.
I just found your channel! Lots of things to learn from now on! Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it.
Cheers from Indonesia!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy. Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!
The legend was born.
Hahahaha thanks brother. I had no idea the channel would be anything when I made that video. I’m eternally grateful for the support of all you guys. 🙏
Finally I found somebody that shares the EXACT mindset that I have about working out. I am glad you have created this channel. Keep it up!
Your analysis and thinking process about exercise is so amazing. In an fitness culture riddled with misinformation, you eloquently cut right through the smoke and mirrors.
Thank you, Christian! That means a lot. 🙏
Just 3 weeks in.... its the most sustainable start to any program I've ever done. Results are coming in, slowly, but certainly noticeable. The strength, plus hypertrophic response, are palpable!! 💪🏾🤙🏾🕉
djj! So happy to here this dude! I'm seriously looking forward to hearing about your progress.
do you excercise everyday?
So djj, have you seen good results, and if so have you been training everyday with a push pull and squat relatively intensely?
I have been lifting weights for so long but I have always been envious of the men who mastered calisthenics. You have motivated to make the shift. I want this heavy muscle off me. Want to get back to my athletic days when I played basketball in college. Excessive muscle is overrated. Want to just feel light and be functionally strong.
Dude this is so cool to hear! Returning to an athletic body type with broader athletic capability is so fun. Nothing wrong with being a mass monster if it supports your athletic and aesthetic goals, but for me, being leaner, faster, having a bottomless gas tank beat the hell out of trying to be bing and lift heavy. I was up to 230 at one point, force feeding, trying to be big just so I could move heavy weight, and then I finally threw in the towel and decided to lean out, move better, and try to turn into a someone that radiated vitality (not sure if I accomplished that last one 😂, but that was my intention). Anyway, I felt WAY better after leaning out and restoring my athleticism.
Your videos have been inspiring for the last few weeks, your approaches employing minimalism add concentration and reveal a lot about nuances regarding training,volumes, recovery and etc
I am really enjoying your content, how you keep things short and informative. I want to thank you immensely for the hard work you are doing !
Oleg
I really appreciate that! Thank you and I'm so happy the content and style resonates with you. Thanks for the support!
Hey man! Just wanted to let you know, I discovered your channel last night and stayed up until 2am watching almost every video. My regular morning routine consists of dropping my wife off at work and driving to the gym for a heavy workout. This morning I sat in the parking lot of the gym for a solid 10 minutes then drove back home, dug up my old pull up bar from our shed and completed this Day 1 workout. My gym pass expires next week so the timing couldn’t have been better. Looking forward to seeing where my new calisthenics journey takes me! Thank you!
How's it going so far?
Been great man. I mounted a pull up bar to my wall, bought a weight vest, parallel bars etc and have been doing his work outs consistently. Been doing this for about 3 months now, 5 days a week. Lots of improvements with my push-ups and squats, and pull ups. For example, Pulls ups went from sets of 9 to sets of 14.
@@kalvinburgess1021 That's awesome to hear. Nice job!
@@kalvinburgess1021 awesome! How about your body composition?
I competitively rowed for 6 years. During the pandemic, I focused only on barbell movements and as a result my body felt out-of-sync, my cardio plummeted, and I wasn't feeling healthy.
For the past 6 months, I switched to functional kettlebell exercises inspired by Joe Rogan, Obi Vincent, and Pavel Tsatsouline. I also did time-restricted eating, eating all my meals within 10 hrs per day (usually 1030am to 830pm). My body has balanced out, I feel stronger, and healthier.
After recently discovering your channel, I look forward to incorporating some of the principles you describe into my workouts. Great content keep it up sir!
I'm happy to hear you are getting your training dialed in! I'm happy then content is helping you in that process!
I’m just as impressed by your home and the weather. Living the life 👍
Hey kid right now I want to thank you for all your work and effort.
Especially within your education and communication skills
I'm 50
I knew there was something however I didn't know the how.
Thank you.
You put it together for me.
Quite litteraly you have saved my life.
I subscribed
I leave a like on all your videos.
Once again I thank you.
God bless my brother be safe and be good
Salvatore! This means a lot my friend! Thank you for your support and hearing stuff like this is incredible. So happy the content has been meaningful.
Much love, brother, and if you ever have any questions, just let me know. 🙏💪
I like what I'm seeing-count me in! Okay... I'm looking forward to the exercises, of course. But for now, I'd best focus on getting myself a nice yard like this to work out in. It's gonna be so great; man am I pumped!! 😃
I want to give you a huge thank you for your channel as a whole. These last few days i’ve been going through mental turmoil about self improvement and my self image and i’ve also been wanting to begin working out. i am 16 only 5’9 and 140 lbs and i want to become more muscular and stronger to better myself. i got a set of parallel dip bars and resistance bands since i can’t do pull-ups. I’m going to begin using your calisthenics template and rewatch your videos constantly. thank you for your work it’s helping me immensely 🙏🏾
I found this channel 2 months ago and I really like your approach and educational content! Congratulations, keep going!
Thank you my friend!!! Love your content!
Thank you, David!
This looks really interesting and perfect for a time of limited gym access and equipment access. A few of the movements you demonstrate are past my current progression, but I look forward to listening more about the principles behind your training and scaling them down to what's doable for me. Thank you!
Absolutely! I will be posting something about scaling workouts the next couple of days!
these are great. Keep going bro your channel will be blowing up soon.
Thank you, Spartan!
Hey Kyle I just wanted to congratulate you on the amazing work you are doing providing this information. I was actually looking for this kind of training that will allow me to play the long game. I am also impressed seeing the growth of your channel by the hour. Keep up the good work and thank you for your service!
Thank you, Jacobo! I appreciate that kind feedback. It has been exciting, but has swamped me with work. I'm working hard to get more content out!
You're awesome! Your commitment to teaching and sharing freely is such a pure, heartfelt endeavor. It is much appreciated!
3 weeks of your push/pull/legs routine finished & today I added my first sets of feet elevated pushups.
Perfect! Just keep going and slowly exploring different variations as you get stronger.
By far the most aesthetic and functional outcomes come from calisthenics. I recently started doing a daily full body workout of 5sets pullups, 5 sets dips and 5sets bodyweight squats. Im feeling great, and im amazed that ive found your channel! I love that you said you will do this type of exercise until you are too old to continue! In my view that will be when we are dead!
How many reps would you tend to do? 5 sets sounds quite high for a daily routine
@@micah1754 Hi Micah, Im fluctuating between 3 and 5 sets, i also spread out my sets on "Rest days". So maybe 3 sets and then 2 sets later in the day. I also reduce my reps or do an easier variation if im feeling like i need the rest. My last workout i did sets of 8 on pullups, sets of 15 on dips and sets of 20 on bodyweight squats. Im hoping to work up to 15 pullups, 25 dips and 50 squats! Whats kind of routine are you currently doing?
@@micah1754 Im also eating a surplus of calories atm, since im trying to grow. The weight gain will also reduce the amount of reps ill be able to do, but its all part of the journey!
thats exactly my way of training, how it's been going?
love your content. and your calm demeanour. its refreshing in this loud and overhyped fitness world
I've been enjoying pull ups and push ups recently a lot. I've been aiming for 100 pushups in however long it takes me with 30s work and 90s rest. generally takes me about 15 minutes or less. 50 pull ups the same way takes me less than 15 minutes. I think it's a fun way to get some exercise in without spending a lot of time on it. I've definitely become stronger from it, and enjoyability is very important. If working out isn't enjoyable, I won't be in it as much, and I won't get results.
I'm really enjoying your videos. I especially appreciate that your videos are concise, and that your approach is straightforward and intelligent. Im really benefitting from your insight and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience. I'm an aging athlete and have had a similar experience to you (with respect to something you said in your video), as far as feeling like my body has taken a bit of a beating from strength through weight training over the years. I really feel like your philosophy resonates with me. Im working through several injuries from training and am looking forward to recalibrating my mindset and approach to fitness and wellness, due to your inspiring videos. Just wanted to say thanks.
Amazing information, I like this because there is less information on other videos and more show-off. But I like your work and started using your information and it's really helpful for me. So, thank you sir
Thank you! I appreciate that feedback.
Such a great channel. Going back to video #1 and watching all the way through.
Very nice I love your perspectives
Thank you, Kai!
Your videos are a really useful resource! Thanks so much for sharing all this information.
It is my pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Awesome advice I am a beginner and we'll be following you for more knowledge thank you
since starting calisthenics and ring workouts i feel my endurance and strength increasing, on top of adopting a WFPB diet 10 months ago - down 40 pounds. My leg workout, so far - all body weight - 5 x 50squats, 5 x 20 glute bridge, 5 x 20 pike, 5 x 35 calf raise - today I start just squats - 10 x 40-50
been doing calisthenics since 2020, and now starting to see some results. Yet I still couldn't be consistent with my schedule since I don't really have someone to ask or to apply some methods. I've just watched a bunch of tips and tricks across internet.
and now RUclips has sent me to you, someone with a great explanation all rounded.
I will be watching all of your journey, and will keep taking a notes from each video
terima kasih!
Thanks so much! Very kind of you. Feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions.
Awesome video thanks
New subscriber I am starting your videos from the start.
Bravo,super performans.
amazin video and thank you so much for the knowledge , it was very beneficial.
Thank you for the kind words.
It's my pleasure!
Hey there my friend. I've definitely been enjoying daily pushups and pullups but I'll tell ya if done too much you can easily burn out. I'm going to grt back to the basics because everytime I watch your videos I get reminded to get back to my three sets and no More than that. Too many pushups also burnt me out. Thx for the heads up on your cool ass video s.
simple! experienced and wise! ppl need to listen to this guy and not V-shred or greg doucette!
FASCANATING
Your content is amazing
Thank you, Doron!
Wow master in excercise science first time I’m hearing it great job 💪🏾
Your RUclips channel is amazing thank you 😊
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Love this routine .Plus some Deadlifts
Yeah the deadlift is probably the best overall lift, and plugs all the holes left by calisthenics.
@@Kboges That's what I was thinking. I was considering going all calisthenics except for deadlifts, that one, big, super-heavy, all-body movement that you need real heavy weights for. Minimal equipment needed, just buy a buncha cinderblocks and a long pipe and pass it thru them. I think everything else but that can be sufficiently hit by calisthenics, isometrics and dynamic tension.
You are a revelation, much appreciated all the way from South Africa
Amazing advice. Thank-you!
These videos are awesome! I've been trying it for some time, and I love it! It's just simple but effective! I just want to know if I wanna be an exercise expert like you, what major should I choose to study in college? The courses that will lay the foundation for me to be an expert like you. Thank you so much!
Wow, I feel like I've found a hidden gem, it's such a great channel, keep up the hard work!
this is perfect to get started again. thanks!
Great content
Thank you!
Great video - appreciate the sincere advice - got yourself a new subscriber :)
Thank you, MJ. I appreciate the support.
Great content. Consistency is king.
Agreed!
My question, and maybe you can make a vid about it, is how you warm up and cool down. I am, after much consideration and calculating, switching to a GTG/high frequency training style and want to consolidate my warm up/cool down to shorten (potentially) daily time investment.
Please talk about warm up/cool down!
Best guy you have the mindset
Legend!
Thank, Rok!
signed up for your community. hoping to make the switch to consistent workout flow. i wake up at 630a to take a cold shower for 5 mins, meditate for the remains 25mins before code till 11a. the plan is to workout for an hour before eating and heading to work at 2p.
Love this style of training, really enjoying your videos. I notice sometimes you kind of superset the exercises but in this video you did all your sets with one exercise before moving onto another. Would you recommend one way or another for a beginner or should I mix it up? Cheers!
I would do 10 push ups at at time, Id finish with 100 hundred a day, some days Id hit 80 anyway after 3 months I was able to do 90 push ups in 4 mins.
I’d do 5 pulls up a set ending with 35 a day my shoulder for some reason get hurt easy on a pull up if I go hard, due to old swimming and parkour injuries.
I rebuilt my hips doing really slow full range squats, but I built my way to full range holding to a pole while waiting for the bus.
Basically Id work out through out the whole day and became very athletic.
where do I start? 43 year old guy here, big gut. Been fixing my diet, need a beginners work out…love the channel
*One* arm pullups?!?! LOL I'm having enough trouble with both arms! Great vid. Thanks.
Thank you for this, you’ve given me confidence in my workouts that most others would consider weak. Do you have any tips for balancing the left and right side of your body? I had an elbow surgery ten years ago and my right side has been weaker than my left since.
man as a tennis player I want to stay lean or better, get lean again at 43. I need to increaee strength and muscles because both are underdeveloped over the last 15 years of working primarily seated. I’m doing the usual thing atm, meaning gym, weights, barbells, but also body weight exercises. I couldn’t do a pull up in may. Now I can do 3 sets of 4-5. Getting better slowly. But I don’t have a pull up bar at home and can’t install one. the ones in the door frame don’t fit or don’t hold. so I do them in the gym every other day together with the lifting. I’m unsure at this point what to do or how to proceed. at home I have the following equipment: 2 mats, 2 dumbbells that can carry up to 10 kg each, a straight barbell + weights, 2 dip bars, two small bars for elevated push ups, a couple of bands, a doorframe I can perform a bad pull up or chin up on (the door frame is about 4 cm thick so I can rest about the two first 2 phalanges on it. it works but the fingers fatigue quickly of course)
I see your vids and believe that I can get better with the exercises you do but I feel like I still lack strength in a lot of key muscles and joints. (ankle front tendon is weak as hell, hip flexors, hamstrings, dorsal chain stretch capability is really poor. trapezoid, wrists, and bizeps tendons are also weak points. I have a long history of chronic pain in all body parts. MDs got me pills but that’s not the way I wanna live all my life.
Kyle, first day I completed 3 sets of push ups, 10, 9 and 8 before my form broke down.
I was sore the next day and so I did 3 sets of 30 squats.
I’m 54 and I’m not conditioned.
Is it ok in the beginning to complete 2-3 sets each day of one of the movements until conditioning improves?
I’m beginning to walk 1.5 to 2 miles per day
Thank you for your assistance.
He talks about doing a single movement per day as a routine here - ruclips.net/video/KtBqdS8__Hc/видео.html
The pushups you do at 3:00 are my favourite ever, and I did them at 17 years old cause I want more upper chest.
Now at 30 I only start doing them again, but with more focus on the form for sure. 2 sets close to failure with 3/5min rest are good for begginers?
Man, you really take a lot of cognitive load off of building muscle and fitness. I wish I had started my fitness journey with something like this instead of Starting Strength or some PPL workout. Not that those aren't great, but I'm such a fan now of frequent medium intensity, high rep workouts. I figured that out when my left arm got big enough to be noticed by other people after I had been carrying my baby around every evening for an hour or so over my left shoulder, so my wife could get some sleep. After a few months the left and right difference between my arms and shoulders looked comical.
And while carrying the baby was a bit exhausting, it never felt nearly as intense as a "real" workout. It just took some time out of my day that I would have wasted anyway.
I am almost 52 and I havent worked out since 2005 when I got into partying pretty heavily, then depression... what do you recommend for someone like me getting back into the swing of things after so long and after losing all my core strength??? And a huge Thanks to your channel for inspiring me to get my 'center' back after so long!!!!!!! 🙏
I can't to pullups what I do?
Have you done a video on your pull-up bar construction.
Great work! have a question, can you advice when should the inhaling and exhaling be done during any exercise? you can take an example of push ups or pull ups
Kyle did you build your physique through the same/similar routine of full-body work or is this something you're using for maintenance?
This is a really great question, Stanley. Here is how I see it...
My physique is the sum total of a life of being active and training. I started doing basic calisthenics and some limited weight lifting in 7th grade, and have been pretty much training constantly since. I've definitely had several blocks of time where I pursued more weight lifting goals, but this basic full body calisthenics training has always been the foundation to which I attribute to a TON of my fitness, body composition and general athleticism, and yes it accounts for the VAST majority of the training over my life. In the last 20 years, I've had long stretches (years) where I didn't do anything other than this workout and during these years, my physique always continued to develop. Now, I've been doing calisthenics almost exclusively (I will trap bar deadlift 1-4x every 2 months or so, for fun) for the last 4 years, and my body composition and overall aesthetics have continued to improve.
@@Kboges fabulous :) thanks
Hi Kyle I live in San Diego as well and am 75 years old.. I try and walk my 10,000 steps daily but I need to start doing more physical exercise. I can do some incline push ups. I even have a pull up bar in the garage but can’t do them any more. How does one my age get started? Where is your gym located here in San Diego? 🤔
Hey Rick, good to hear you are as active as you are! Very impressive, brother! Hangs are good, and rows are fantastic. They will both serve you very well.
My gym was off Mission Gorge. I sold it in 2017 and switched to moving my training online.
Hey man what's up, great content you have, also love the idea of someone building muscle buy just body workout, gym membership s and supplements elite, just once us wasting tons of money won't admit it, just check out Greek statues they didn't have anything but body the skills move it and good food, anyway I'm starting this journey complete from cero had question besides body training do you follow any especific diet is so what's good and what's bad to consume? Blessings from Guadalajara Mexico.
Hey Adrian! Thanks for the kind words. For diet, I eat really food, practice fasting, and try to hit a protein target. Super simple stuff that I can maintain. Cooking for myself is key.
@@Kboges thanks man matter of fact I'm on a 48 hour fasting right now, and it feels great, I guess that once I start working out you mean intermittent fasting? A video on that will be great we all love this info thanks man keep it up we need more souls like you to win the battle against everything that's coming up the first attack is on health and masculinity.
So this is how it all started
After finding your video" training for helth" here i am gona get to all of your videos...is it ok to do some resistance band isolation work for arms, and so forth ????
Absolutely!
Hey, great video! I’m just starting out in muscle training. I’m 27 and little bit confused what exercises to implement in my day to day life. Can you please help with that?
I like your comment about "not letting fitness gurus" destroy your curiosity. There definitely are a lot of those in the fitness industry. It really doesn't promote free thinking.
purist. very happy to see it
It has been a couple of years since I last left a comment. I am now 77 1/2 and am getting back to working on aspects of your program. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 202. Do you have any advice for an old guy like myself?
Really enjoy your videos, What’s your opinion on emom training ? I’ve been training for 5 years in just calisthenics. My workouts always consistent of very high reps and chasing numbers and not necessarily the best form. I’ve also done months specially in the winter with weights and got my dips up to 2 reps with 160 and pull ups 3 reps with 90.
I injured my elbows and cause subluxation in my shoulder from doing tons of reps that took me out for almost two months now. I’m just stating to get back into it and slowly getting back into it.
My chiropractor got me to fix the problem by adjusting me and having me strengthen my accessory muscles like my rhomboids and traps.. Interesting that you say volume doesn’t equal strength necessarily and the benefit of low intensity days. How come volume doesn’t add more strength
Sir, do you run, bike? Thanks.
Do you warm up before you workout? Do you think that’s important and do you have any specific recommendations?
I'm 34 and have a bad aortic valve. I have to stop and rest after 5 pullups or 10 pushups to catch my breath. I wish I could push myself harder
When I was 11-13 years and feard my stepfather i startet training with the 2 only weigts I had every night just before bedtime. I knew nothing about training, I just followed the suggustion on the packet from the weigts. I took as many reps I could every time. After some mounths I did over 100 biceps curls. I diddent se it then, but I see pictures of myself shredded, and I remember beeing one of the best in armwrestling and wrestling.
It’s first after seeing youre videos I understand why 😄
First of all - your videos are absolute breeze. BUT, I would to know where to start? It’s so difficult to do pull ups from start. A beginners guide will do a lot of great for the community :)
Check out my website for "pull up:unlocked". It's a free program that will help you. I got my dad doing it and he's already up to 4 pull ups.
Thanks for your videos, great channel, keep it up. Question: do you do dips or do you think push ups are sufficient?
do you do warmpup sets before the 3 hard sets?
If I train every day and focus on pull ups, push ups, and squats, Is there a maximum number of sets and reps beyond which there are almost no gains and lots of recovery issues ? Is there a sweet spot of sets and reps which balances gains and recovery or is that just based upon the reality of what you can do and recover from ?
Yes. It’s likely to vary depending on the exercise and the person. On average, many evidence based experts will suggest 10-20 sets per muscle group per week. It’s worth noting that volume doesn’t scale linearly with gains, so doubling the volume does not seem to double the rate of progress.
@@Kboges Yes I’ve seen studies that suggest that 10-20 is the optimal amount after which gains could be very small but also studies suggesting that even as low as 4-6 sets a week per muscle group spread over at least two separate days delivers 70% to 80% of the maximum gains available. So your beginner workout of one set per muscle group done every day delivers 7 sets a week and looks like a great minimalist option. Could even be scaled back to just 5 days and 5 sets as noted in your video. For most people there probably is little to gain from doing more, especially for older folks more prone to injury. I’m doing your one set a day routine and it’s working well so far. Workouts are short and I enjoy and look forward to them. Thanks for the channel. Valuable information without lots of unnecessary fluff lol.
Do you do any grease the groove as well or just single training sessions?
I have done GTG a lot in the past and I think it is a great way to train. At a certain point, higher effort sets are going to be more productive than sets further from failure, but spreading out high effort sets throughout the day works incredibly well, even though it isn't technically GTG, which is more for practice.
I’ve been an avid lifter for four years. Training 3 to 4 days a week with barbells, dumbbells, and chin ups/pull ups. Im moving across the country and Im not bringing my garage gym with me. I want to start training everyday. Do you think three working sets for pull ups, push-ups, and lunges/squats everyday is a good place to start? It’s so simple sounding that my brain just wants to overcomplicate it.
So I just found your channel. I have a question when it comes to flexibility. I recognize that I have lost a lot of range of motion in pretty much all areas of my body. My main concern is in my legs/hips. I am very inflexible and am trying to come up with some kind of game plan to become more limber, especially in my legs. I currently have a pull up bar set up I bought that is about 4 feet wide and about seven feet tall set up in my room along with rings. I also have resistance bands and what looks like an 8 foot strap with about twelve available loops. I pretty much throw that over the bar, hook my leg in one of the loops and pull with my hands to stretch out my legs some. I dont know if this is something you incorporate into your workouts but I'd like to maybe see a video on what you do for range of motion or how you go through your workouts to maintain or increase your flexibility. I am currently stretching after my workouts but there is a back and forth I've been seeing online about the timing of stretching. I know I see a lot of pro athletes stretch prior to intense exercises and was wondering if you can kind of go over that aspect. I am currently overweight so my priorities are to kind of do an overall thing in terms of my exercises which are in line with what you do in terms of trying to master the basics. I have a set of 50lb a piece power block dumbells along with the other stuff I mentioned that I use for strength training, along with lunges, squats using my dumbells and a weighted vest. I walk for cardio mainly but I also enjoy jumping rope. The only thing I am missing is like I said a good stretching program because my flexibility is poor in my hips and legs in most directions, thanks.
Awesome channel! Are your rings metal or plastic?
I like metal rings. I've got two pairs of Rogue rings- one for inside, and one for outside.
I don't know if this has been asked before, but I can't find any of your videos (which are great) or comments about it. How do you warmup for these workouts? Or how do you recommend warming up best for a tight time budget?
Helloo 😊
What do you think about circuit training?
You are doing reps and set in this video right? What if someone does that as a cycle (circuit).
Yeah circuit training can be great. It really depends on your goals though. If you want to maximize the per-set stimulus, take a good long rest between sets to make sure you can put forth high effort and quality.
@@Kboges Thank you so much for the reply, I wasn't sure whether you would see it or not and was about to send an email 😁.
Love your channel, greetings from India 😊
@@Bodhidharma1998 My pleasure!
Are you on any other platforms besides RUclips ?
curious about your pullup bar design.. is the frame for the pullup bar made of wood or metal? how far in to the ground does it go, etc been comparing designs before I build something in the back yard. thanks
Hey man. i have been doing calisthenics for over 3 years. i love it , trying to get better and learn every day. however i am struggling with few things mostly with my program creation. Where is it possible to reach out to you please
Hey Barbeast, you can visit the website kboges.com for information there.
