"Stop watching RUclips videos, stop watching tutorials, go out there and put the work in..." Quite possibly the best advice I've received from a RUclips video. Thanks.
@@AlekNik1994 I did. Not perfectly.... definitely had setbacks, and distractions along the way, but without question I'm in a better place than I was 4 years ago when I made that comment. Great reminder, thanks for asking.
Pavel, you originally started posting because you found it enjoyable. Then you started "thinking too hard." You were putting up videos that you almost felt like you were forced to put up. That's not fun. Take it back to the beginning. Put up videos that are fun to you. That's what got you the userbase you have in the first place. :) You have a lot of informative videos on your channel already. You even have programs you can purchase. Just continue your journey, and post as you go. Precision jumping, whatever it is you do. Your awesome brother. Go back to your roots. Enjoy yourself. Don't overthink it. Have fun. :)
I notice that I have these excuses, not in fitness but in studyng.. I put off studying because I try to find the most effective study method online and thus i do not study and do not improve. Thanks for the wake up call!
You are an AMAZING young man. I have enjoyed your honesty and integrity in your posts. I believe in YOU and hope you'll find a new avenue/adventure/pursuit to share with your audience. I hope all of us appreciate your good heart.
What you say is true but people need inspiration. You are an encouragement to a lot of people. You are one of those guys who have done what many want to do. They can watch you and realize with hard work, "I can do it, too". Thanks for the videos, brother. God Bless!
Hi Paul. This video had great meaning for me. It comes at a time when I need to 'just do it' Thank you for all your films over the years. You've achieved great things and inspired many. It's completely natural that you too evolve, and new challenges and directions open up for you, with passing time and changing interests and priorities. Good luck for the future to you and your family And if and when you post some more I'm sure you'll still have a great following who will be pleased to hear from you
you are really a great person.You explained us everything about fitness just enjoying the thing that matters and the best part is you didn't keep making videos like other channels they keep making workout videos and videos just to publish themselves.You are the best always.Keep making videos.Peace!!!
No body soul spirit ending words. ? i know exactly what you mean, PASSION is all we need. You are a great inspiration. Thanks for all the contents you shared and simplicity of your sport philosophy. I always liked the kind of playing aspect in your workout style. It was nice to follow. wish you and your family good look and health! -,we gotta do our thing when we grow older ' big up from Germany
Maybe not a huge fan, but I like Your channel very much, appreciate what You do/did. Also, agree with some of the comments about marriage, honesty, as You seem like that kind of person. Listen, the times are hard and it will get even harder, NEVER completely sacrifice individuality for collectivity. Try to work on Your intuition more, observe people ( how they behave ), some of them are good, some of them might have hidden agendas ( check personality disorders, especially Cluster B ). Your still very young, let it sink in, bad times will pass so will the struggle. All the best Paul.
Amazing video. Amazing message. You know, during those months I learned a lot with you, bro. No kidding. Guess our goals are always changing, huh? I wish you success in whatever you want to do or achieve next. Great man. Peace.
I work with young people every day in an educational setting. Damn , I wish u were one of my students , except I would end up being your student. What wise words , you have just kick started my regimes :)
Saw your sister in a video on the Pull Up Solution website. This guy really helped me with doing more pull ups. It was pretty cool that he was so impressed with your sisters ability.
Hi, Pavel. I've watched your videos for the last few years and you are great. Can I ask you something cause I don't know much about gaining muscle? What should I do for mass? Superset or set? Can you recommend a sample routine for me? Thanks you!
I agree, a lot of people ask me about working out, losing weight, eating, etc. I tell them the basic facts of it but in the end I'm always like "it's different for everyone. There are basic guidelines that can fit you, but you gotta find what works for you." I mean like genetics play a huge role in your physical appearance and strength. For example I have proportionally bigger and stronger quads than most people who weight lift, I got it from my dad and 4 years of barbell squats and football just encouraged the growth.
i think this is true for a lot of moves but i only got my muscle up after watching a barstarzz video where they were doing momentum pull ups by switching from hands close together to wide grip in the air because it automatically teaches you how to use your legs for a strong kip
Yeah! Lol. That's right, man. Pavel could expose this damn worldview. I do this here in Brazil, every single day. But our brother Pavel could do it too, through his life and health channel. Good idea.

Hey, how long would i need to rest between sets for hypertrophy? In one video you said the rest must be longer, but in another one you said it must be short. Thanks in advance
There something to be said about no system. I tried no system for several months at a local gym. Had a really fun time, almost impossible to track progress though. I used a 3-day split routine to allow for muscle recovery. That's where the "routine" ended. Example, arms day i picked whatever interested me when i got to the gym. It might have been Close-grip supinated lat pull-downs and cable tricep extensions. That could be my whole workout! With tons of drop sets. Finish off with 100 reps each side of cable torso rotations. Excitement and enjoyment fill those kinds of workouts because i truly wanted to do every single exercise i chose. I really enjoyed my no-system protocol for the very simple fact that i could show up and workout any day of the week and know without a doubt i was going to have an awesome workout. Why? Because i would always be doing whatever i wanted and nothing else.
In the end it is really about what works for you and what goals you set for yourself. However, It is very naive to strive towards a flag or a planche without a system or following a preset routine. Sure, if you have natural ability it may be possible. Same goes not just for calisthenics but also general fitness. I know people who use "no system" however have absolutely no progress and are unhappy about it.
+Vladimir Makarov hah hah absolutely true 😄 That is why i was only on no-system for 2 months. Having a routine in the end is the best way to measure progress.
The way I measure my progress is having max days throughout the year. Like comparing my max reps (in the range of 2-10) with a weight that's heavy for me. Or in calisthenics just seeing how many more push-ups I can do
What do you recommend for a person that doesn't like phyical activity/exercise? Just pick something and try it and will it start to become enjoyable even if it isn't enjoyable at the start?
Try powerlifting - it gives you a lot of positive feedback early on, you can start it at any body weight (in fact, if you're overweight when you start you will get even better results), you don't need a good level of conditioning, and you don't have to worry too much about dieting. The fast early results are what should really get you "into" it though. Just make sure to watch enough basic tutorials to do the main lifts properly before you start (and film yourself while doing them to make sure you're doing it right) - I completely agree with Paul on what he says in this video for calisthenic movements and other types of activities (too many tutorials means too many ideas confusing your mind, plus you'll get discouraged any time you forget a tip or do something slightly different), but powerlifting must be done right or else the risk of injuries is exceedingly high (not really when you start, but when the weight gets heavy it's very important to be in a safe position).
It is in our nature as humans to like Exercise, if you get bored doing something on your own do something with friends like basketball or swimming i prefer to relax and get some steam off so 2 hours at the gym is perfect for me but everyone is different also use music to your advantage it really helps
I'm already on this journey of calisthelic... but i have to know when should i recover, i cant just go all in once. I need to know the split of my workouts, and there is where comes the system.
With all due respect, this is not a good advice. When it comes to fitness , especially as a beginner or when you start to learn a particular skill, it is difficult to recognise the limits. This is exactly how people injure themselves. Ideally, you should start off with a system, but make sure to experiment a lot AND listen to your body.
For me, I don't know if I am getting the most results out of my body. Should you be doing dips, pushups, handstand work and pullups in the same workout? I have done some in the same workout, some split and I've found that random workouts give me random results. I don't know if I should be splitting the skill work from muscular work or if I should do exercises that hit the same muscle groups. Any thoughts?
You say "self-discovery". What have you discovered about yourself by not using a system but by doing your own thing? How did you make these discoveries?
You've got your shit together man, for your age (and any age, really). You've got that Russian pragmatism that's severely lacking in most Americans. Malatok
nothing lasts forever. some things are only for a season. the channel was awesome and inspiring. take some time off, maybe the passion will return. you're not a slave to your followers. trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and HE will direct your path.
People i need an advice I really like working out i do pullups and pushups and im 13 so im afraid if i continue i will lose my height so i need an answer will i lose height i do pullups and pushups (Sorry for my bad english) ☺
So after I watched all your tutorials and other stuff, now you are saying that I should not watch them? I should take my own journey? Haha, it kind of sounds funny, but I get it. Imo watching tutorials is good, because somehow it is a shortcut, because you get to know the best way to do some exercise. Thx for the video Paul!
It sounds especially funny considering he was selling his fitness programme too. But yeah, I understand his philosophy, I just think that this philosophy is not for everyone. In my case, listening to my body did not work. I pushed myself and pushed until I injured myself. Now this injury will stay with me forever, and occasionally comes back. The best way IMHO is to follow a system but ALSO listen to your body to make the system easier or harder.
“if I had waited long enough I probably never would have written anything at all since there is a tendency when you really begin to learn something about a thing not to want to write about it but rather to keep on learning about it always and at no time, unless you are very egotistical, which, of course, accounts for many books, will you be able to say: now I know all about this and will write about it.” Ernest Hemingway, Death In The Afternoon I agree with some of the comments here you're most probably burnt out because you're not following your own 'system' which had worked in the past: making videos about what YOU are currently interested to master yourself and if the people who watch you want more videos of your past interest, just point them to your previous body of work or that of others, or leave them to find their own way.
Hey Paul, It seems from your voice and expression, that you are quite exhausted from all of that. Maybe it's time to take a break and focus on own life. Love your wife and your newborn, live your life and find your self. Take care.
I've got two things to say. First of all I think you as a man should look into finding a goal for you that is extremely difficult like maybe mastering that planche if you haven't yet, or join a competitive sport like wrestling which would challenge you to atay in top condition and home in on a skill. Whether or not you really want to get back into the calisthenics strength training again is up to you but it's been sort of sad seeing you lose so much passion in your last couple videos, and I think you're mostly just getting bored cause you don't see any adventurous new goals to topple. Second thing is a question. I've always been impressed with your ability to work out so often, this is the only health channel I've seen that doesn't reccomend rest days. Maybe it's just cause I weigh more than you but you seem to progress a lot quicker than me and I'm really not sure if I should be working out every day. Do you have any rituals or something that you feel might speed up your muscles rest? When you work out do you normally go to complete exhaust or do you try to retain some of your energy? If you have just any general advice on how to attack a work out more often and make it feel like it's actually helping it would be appreciated.
Long time sub, hey I have a challenge for you. 60 pushup challenge - see my latest video on the rules. Please post your time - very curious since you do a lot of bodyweight stuff.
Paul, I understand your philosophy, but I think you are quite wrong to put this much emphasis on "following your heart/body". To me, it almost came off as slightly elitist (not entirely sure if this is a correct word for what I felt). For some - following your heart works. This is especially true if you have inherent talents and abilities. However, in many other cases following a particular system is a very efficient way to achieve something, be it mathematics, learning an instrument, calisthenics etc. IMHO it is best to start off with the specific system and then adjust it to your body, rather than blindly doing it.
I agree with that to a point. I think you should understand the basics like proper form and avoid/recovering from injury. Like when I first started calisthenics I didn't really do proper form pull-ups until I watched one of his videos (I wouldn't stabilize my abs and kinda did a mini kip) but I never really had a system, I just went and worked out as often as I could and did sets and reps based on how I felt that day (granted I had weightlifting experience from football, so I had basic ideas of sets and reps). But also my friend and I did things like modifyPavel's W workout. Rather than doing 7 push-ups waiting 10 seconds then doing 6 and so on, we'd combine sets so say do 18 (7+6+5) rest 10 then do 10 (4+3+2+1) competing against each other for the faster time. I think maybe a structured learning period is good, but there's nothing wrong with learning as you go either.
This is a very good point. His content certainly has changed since then. But also probably other factors like being a father, job, education, growing up, losing interest in some aspects of calisthenics played their part
why do you still do the videos ? i mean i have watched tou for awhile an yes only long enough to see how you was doing things. so i could go out an do it myself .but the more videos you are doing these days sounds more an more hatefull. if you dont wanna do the videos than do not do them. but if you choose to do them than be nice about it . dang man ppl look up to you in some ways reguardless how you see they do. but if your being hatefull in your videos they are going to stop looking up to you.

Ernest Hemingway, Death In The Afternoon
I agree with some of the comments here
you're most probably burnt out because you're not following your own 'system'
which had worked in the past:
making videos about what YOU are currently interested to master yourself
and if the people who watch you want more videos
of your past interest, just point them to your previous body of work
or that of others, or leave them to find their own way.
Hey Paul, It seems from your voice and expression, that you are quite exhausted from all of that. Maybe it's time to take a break and focus on own life. Love your wife and your newborn, live your life and find your self. Take care.
I've got two things to say.
First of all I think you as a man should look into finding a goal for you that is extremely difficult like maybe mastering that planche if you haven't yet, or join a competitive sport like wrestling which would challenge you to atay in top condition and home in on a skill. Whether or not you really want to get back into the calisthenics strength training again is up to you but it's been sort of sad seeing you lose so much passion in your last couple videos, and I think you're mostly just getting bored cause you don't see any adventurous new goals to topple.
Second thing is a question. I've always been impressed with your ability to work out so often, this is the only health channel I've seen that doesn't reccomend rest days. Maybe it's just cause I weigh more than you but you seem to progress a lot quicker than me and I'm really not sure if I should be working out every day. Do you have any rituals or something that you feel might speed up your muscles rest? When you work out do you normally go to complete exhaust or do you try to retain some of your energy? If you have just any general advice on how to attack a work out more often and make it feel like it's actually helping it would be appreciated.
I wrote this on my iPhone and it's not letting me edit out the grammar errors.
Павел , будут ли новые видео на русском канале ?
Long time sub, hey I have a challenge for you. 60 pushup challenge - see my latest video on the rules. Please post your time - very curious since you do a lot of bodyweight stuff.

Paul, I understand your philosophy, but I think you are quite wrong to put this much emphasis on "following your heart/body". To me, it almost came off as slightly elitist (not entirely sure if this is a correct word for what I felt). For some - following your heart works. This is especially true if you have inherent talents and abilities. However, in many other cases following a particular system is a very efficient way to achieve something, be it mathematics, learning an instrument, calisthenics etc. IMHO it is best to start off with the specific system and then adjust it to your body, rather than blindly doing it.
I agree with that to a point. I think you should understand the basics like proper form and avoid/recovering from injury. Like when I first started calisthenics I didn't really do proper form pull-ups until I watched one of his videos (I wouldn't stabilize my abs and kinda did a mini kip) but I never really had a system, I just went and worked out as often as I could and did sets and reps based on how I felt that day (granted I had weightlifting experience from football, so I had basic ideas of sets and reps).
But also my friend and I did things like modifyPavel's W workout. Rather than doing 7 push-ups waiting 10 seconds then doing 6 and so on, we'd combine sets so say do 18 (7+6+5) rest 10 then do 10 (4+3+2+1) competing against each other for the faster time.
I think maybe a structured learning period is good, but there's nothing wrong with learning as you go either.
Wyatt Christiansen Yeah I definitely agree with you man ;)
Paul my man you seem under pressure, just know you're not superman you can't do so much :)
Moral of your story - dont get married.
This is a very good point. His content certainly has changed since then. But also probably other factors like being a father, job, education, growing up, losing interest in some aspects of calisthenics played their part
+Vladimir Makarov he seems sad
Когда видосы на русском канале?
never
in this way there is a big chance of getting an injury
Павел ты когда-нибудь будешь возобновлять свой бывший канал, тебя реально не хватает, у тебя были отличные видео.
48 pull-ups is the female reccord
Are you Russian? Greetings from Poland :>
why do you still do the videos ? i mean i have watched tou for awhile an yes only long enough to see how you was doing things. so i could go out an do it myself .but the more videos you are doing these days sounds more an more hatefull. if you dont wanna do the videos than do not do them. but if you choose to do them than be nice about it . dang man ppl look up to you in some ways reguardless how you see they do. but if your being hatefull in your videos they are going to stop looking up to you.
You look like you've been in a fight.
you still look sad bro.. you still look sad
+Fred Flintstone I wasn't talking down on anyone in this video, simply stating that people need to put in the work and stop looking for shortcuts.
