Who thinks being shredded has anything to do with health? This guy has nothing to do with strength. His whole shtick is that he's strong. He isn't. He has great mobility, and even great bodyweight strenght. But strength strength? No. Cause he doesn't train for it. Ever
@@dimitrijekrstic7567 Most lifters in the gym with 30% more quads would not be able to excert the strength needed for a dragon squat. So he is definetly strong not only pound for pound.
Just because he can exert more force in extreme ranges of motion, doesn't mean he's overall stronger. It just means he's stronger in extreme ranges of motion, and hasIt superior mobility. The mobility needed for a dragon squat is completely unnecessary for most sports. I doubt most NFL running backs or NBA players can execute a dragon squat. That doesn't mean he's more athletic/stronger than most NFL players.
You are a breath of fresh air in this space filled with roided guys pretending to be natural and selling hopes and dreams that are pretty much unattainable for people not using drugs. Keep it up.
I love how you post citations from peer-reviewed scientific articles!!! Seriously, it adds so much credibility and influence! Thanks for all your vids!
As some who is currently needing knee surgery at 36 years I can attest that range of motion and mobility/ability are WAY more important for your life quality than muscle appearance or strength. This guy has it very very right.
Mobility is important but strength is just as important even for simple things at an old age like going up srairs, responding to a stumble and not falling, carrying groceries etc. Roided freaks have made a bad name to strength training
@@yoram9692 yeah but you still don't need a jacked body, flexibility for life quality has better advantages let's say the true. When you're old you can't maintain position due to lack of flexibility, flexibily help to not fell and control your motion. Strenght is also important for loads but to be able to bench hard loads won't be that useful in reality if u catch what I'm saying, still need to do sport for a little muscle development and to have a good metabolism rate as it slowly decrease and increase sickness
@@jojo-vk7kp actually not. Strength training is more important than flexibility in old stages. studies show that overload in squats and other impact exercises help to decrease bone mass loss, which is the primary reason for old people falling, breaking bones, etc. Also, strength training (stability, mobility, and overall muscle strength) is the key ingredient to performing everyday tasks, such as walking, going up stairs, sitting, getting up, etc. Flexibility is very important as well, but strength training(not muscle) is the ultimate ingredient to a healthier life. Also, regarding posture, strength training is the main factor to that as well, since by building core stability strength and overall spine strengths are the primal aspects of maintaining good posture and properly distributing load throughout the body. Go watch @squatuniversity videos for proper science based information regarding training.
@@adamalfroy292 flexibility and mobility are two different things dude, In simple terms, flexibility is the ability of the soft tissues to passively stretch. Mobility, on the other hand, is the joint's ability to actively move through its full range of motion. When your older sustaining good Mobility is one of the most important things.

Bro what? This guy is weak as fuck, even accounting for body weight. He’s not strong at all. You want to know a decent measurement (but not great) if someone is strong “pound for pound”? See if they can do 7-10 PROPER muscle ups. I doubt he could do even 1 “proper” one.
His strength training regimen would certainly help a person get strong enough to further their hypertrophy training. One fuels the other, the problem is people don't have time to train both usually.
I also have a rather unique training routine. And I regularly feel like I'm doing something wrong because it's not the norm. But I'm seeing results and building towards the goals I've set for myself. Thank you for making this video and giving me the confidence to continue on my own path. Stay blessed.
Exercise, hair, make up, clothes, decoration,... whatever😅! If it makes you feel satistied and it gives you the desired result, *IT IS BEYOND OK* and the only wrong thing you are doing is doubting. PeriodTTT. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
You would be surprised what some pro bodybuilders do in modifying workouts to be more efficient for their goals. Things that look dumb, but are targeting specific muscles to improve symmetry. I’d it works for you, and as long as it isn’t potentially dangerous (like balancing on a ball while lifting barbells), go for it.
Man this is crazy. It feels like he shows us excercise + explanation that needs 40-60min. But the Video goes only 3min31sec. This guy is not only efficient in training, he is also a perfect explainer! Top performance! Brilliant RESPECT. To all 10min+ YTer. BIG FY! This is how it goes!

I'm sixty-four and I've been moving like this (not all your moves) for around seven years now. It has evolved. I'm a part-time art model as a direct result of my musculature. I agree with you. I like not thinking twice about carrying groceries or whatever. I'm quite strong as a result. I look fit, but I'm stronger than I look.
I also want to remind everyone that what we think of as "big" when it comes to bodies and muscles has been massively warped by epidemic-scale abuse of anabolic steroids.
Yeah but he looks like the average person who has a good diet without even training. He could easily gain 20 pounds of muscle in like 2-3 years and even more than that if he kept training longer.

I respect you my guy. I don’t work out like you but i definitely should focus more on my flexibility. You’re honest and genuine and there’s no supplement for that. We need more ppl like you
Nobody needs supplement. Supplements are for idiots who want to either destroy their body and use things like steroids, or for idiot who wants to use placebo shit like all this sport shop nutrition shit.

Mad respect!!! Flexibility is so underrated in most people’s training. I train in Olympic weightlifting, so I know all about high intensity for not that many reps. I think functional training is the most important training as it translates the most into our daily movements. Bravo 🙌 your an inspiration!!!
I've done tons of powerlifting and "bodybuilding" training, but this way of training really caught me!! My experience with powerlifting was good and i enjoyed it but I also felt stiff, bulky, heavy and unathletic. So I changed to this kind of training and I feel SO much better and "useable". Of course I lost some muscle and sometimes I do miss the feeling of a good pump, but honestly this just works so well for me right now. Knowing that your body is formable and you can shape it and achieve exactly what you want with it, is absolutely amazing to me! I'm so grateful.
My motivation for training was athletics, but my style was closest to powerlifting. I got stronger but it didn’t translate to athletics and honestly if anything made worse. Didn’t know better. Useable is such a good word to describe what my training was lacking.
@@bigmitch7901of course, but spending they are slightly mutually exclusive; having higher body weight and more muscles make stretching harder and less "usable", unless you put in the effort to restretch and keep them flexible. Doing that is time consuming, and many people dont have enough time to do two types of training at the same time when doing just one suffices
@@deejaydee1578 I don't know, I just don't really see myself becoming too stiff and less usable as a natural lifter. If anything more flexible, because I do free weights only.

As a small kid, I grew up with my grandparents in their village for a few years. I helped them with gardening chores, transporting grain sacks and other menial tasks. Had no idea that carrying very heavy sacks of grain from the car to the barn would build my muscles up for strength, rather than volume. I'm now very skinny but I always surprise others by my strength. It all makes sense after watching your videos.
Same experiences here. My farmer grandfather called it ‘hen muscle’ where you may not look strong but you will surprise people with feats of strength in unique and unusual ways.
I appreciate that this dude gives a different perspective of health and fitness. Also, he encourages being supportive and respectful to everyone's respective fitness goals. We need more of that.
Hi! So I walk 10hrs a day in a warehouse with hard concrete... My knee has been hurting for 2 yrs. After watching your channel my knee doesn't hurt anymore still weak but better than pain! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤❤❤
research good shoes.. hope you find something ok if they have to be protection/security shoes; and some gymnastics/stretching routines at the start and end of day are very good for you, i can't believe the calves i've grown this year only from active stretches.
@@user-eb7bn5nv9e Fasting is not a good idea if you're spending most of your hours being active. If anything, you would need more food than the average person to fuel your body and heal it.
@@IkesPimpHand My roommate hurt his tendons after following this advice. His podiatrist that actually has studied this stuff (he's an open minded guy too) told him these are already dated views. People should walk the way their body tells them, and not blindly follow advice from the interwebs that isn't tailored to their body and situation, IMO.
Seeing you be thin but strong is inspiring. I've been a very skinny guy my whole life (183 cm, 59 kg), but I find you to be inspiring. It's like I have a goal that I can reach without working out until I can't move for the rest of the week, or eating carbs and protein until I'm sick.
I love your channel - basically a different pov about having a healthy body and enjoying what it can do. It really gave me a boost when I first saw you pointing out all the things that can be great about being flexible. Stretching is somethibg I love but everyone has always told me its not "enough", so the encouragement is great.
I train for hypertrophy (what bodybuilders do) but I also make sure to get at least 1 yoga session in per week so I stay moderately flexible which effectively allows me to have more 'functional' use of my muscles. It's cool to see a unique way of working out, and I will definitely be stealing a few of those movements to incorporate into my routines.
I like your positive attitude towards different types of training, explaining your own without taking other methods down. For me Pilates combined with some cardio cycling turns out to be the absolute sweet spot to be flexible, strong and fit
Thank you David , Ive been following your instructions and the mobility is helping prevent injuries and pain. Im buying your vitamin candies! Thanks again.
I honestly love your videos cause they're short and extremely motivating. the kinds of things you do make me think "dang, I want to be able to do that!" and then I get up and do a bunch of workouts in a burst of motivation. My training often starts with watching one of your shorts.
Hi David! At some point in life, I was sick of doing certain reps and what kind of exercise to do by other people. They never resonated with me, so I just created my own exercise, which includes pull-ups, one-hand push-ups, and roundhouse kicks. It is awesome that I can create my own workout that is both fun and effective. Sometimes I watch tons of videos and no one has the same way of doing things. Not to bash those videos because they are immensely helpful if I know what to take in, but I think we achieve the most when we do things our own way. I think this video has this kind of energy and I love it!
To get good at it, just start doing it. When I started doing dips, I couldn't do ONE at full body weight. Just weeks later I could do more than 50 in several sets, at full body weight. I didn't use machines that simulate a dip, I just did dips. Do what you want to do, and the more of it you do, the more you CAN do. My goals are to be both stronger AND gain muscle mass. Both together. I wouldn't want to get bulkier if I didn't also get stronger along the way. I've always said, I'd be the smallest guy in the gym that can bench 4 plates rather than the biggest guy who can't bench 3.
If you went from doing 0 dips to 50 in weeks, then your form and tempo must be absolute ass. Go FULL range of motion and slow down if you want true strength and muscle gain.
@@Daniel-vu4qu Right? Either that number is made up or he does like 1/4th of a full rom... I can´t even do 10 with my own body weight and i do 90kg on the Dip Machine (45kg each side) which is like 95 lbs for you american folks? And i´m skinny
A collab betwen you and the Bioneer would be very interesting. You're both off-the-wall, off-the-cuff, flexible, wordy yet not verbose, doing multiple jump cuts, always moving, interspersing research with movement examples. Keep up the great work.
video maker is saying higher weight pritoitizes strength increase while high repittions priotizes msucle size... besides that, everything is "stay natural and practice makes perfect"
"you're stronger than you look" was one of the most memorable compliments i've ever received in my life because of how much it meant to hear. this video completely validates my pride in that statement, and helps me feel comfortable with the fact my BMI being too low doesn't make me a physically weak person.
its false in some sense. its functional strength, not actual strength. for example a comptetitive bodybuilder who can deadlift 600 cant do a pull up, but a skinny person can. this is because of how much unused muscle is used in the pull up, and other than that height also factors. body control is very dependent on the user's bodyweight since, bodyweight is weights for calisthenic athletes. thats why shorter people can progress calisthenic a lot quicker than taller people. thats why i bet you my life, this guy cant bench 225.
@@hayekhayek580 what does "functional strength not actual strength" even mean? If you're doing a function, that's an actual thing. That's the only kind of strength that actually matters in any way. How is it not "actual"??
@@Random_Lurker Gym strength is being able to squat 300 pounds. Functional strength is being able to carry a fridge upstairs alone. If you train, you know these 2 are very different. Another example is easily being able to deadlift 225 pounds, but struggling to lift an average person that's passed out from the ground up. Functional strength is absolutely a thing.
@@hayekhayek580 lol youre definitely right man. honestly, the main reason that compliment meant a lot to me is because as a tall, _very_ lanky trans guy, i’ve always felt super self conscious about my upper body strength. the fact that i have arm strength far above what is usually expected even by my fitness trainer (i heard that compliment while rope climbing in a gym from a trainer) is what i’m proud of. but you’re right, i absolutely agree, the only reason i can do shit like chin-ups is likely _because_ i’m underweight, and even then, i can only do like two lol. i’m working on it man >:) edit: i’m up to five :)
@@999mi999 Who said anything about gym strength or squatting 300 pounds? Who's deadlifting 225 pounds? What are you talking about? None of this has anything to do with the comment here OR the video. I know functional strength is a thing. You (or hayekhayek) is the one saying functional strength isn't "actual" strength
david you rlly became an inspiration to me, I have trained in ways I didn´t like just because I was aiming for subrealistic goals that i never could reach and feeling bad about it, loosing focus of a more realistic mindset. Fitness is not just about becoming ronnie coleman and thanks to you I feel motivated to start training other areas that I have left behind like flexibility and mobility, rlly thanks for your amazing contribution to the fitness comunity
Followed you, bro. Love your attitude and body positivity. There are so many roided up fake natties out there these days that I suffer from body dysmorphia every time I look in the mirror. Thanks for showing us that being healthy and fit is the most important thing.
I'm a40 y.o. male with some injuries that limit exercises that I can do safely. Have been into natural lifting for health, longevity and to a certain extent esthetic reasons since about a year now. Don't have flexibility to do any of the stuff you do. Or much interest either, tbh. But I think what you do totally deserves respect and is really cool. You also strike as a likeable person to me. So I will subscribe to see more of your contents. Keep it up, dude!
@@PGG98 Weight lifting doesn't shorten muscles per se, and the limited ROM is NOT the case for the VAST MAJORITY of natural lifters wo are not blessed by particularly good genetics for muscle gains and who are not yet advanced either. The truly limited ROM as a direct consequence of weightlifting is almost exclusively observable in cases of an EXTREME HYPERTROPHY seen in very HUGE enhanced bodybuilders. PS: The limited movement in this scenario is due to he fact that muscles obviously occupy physical space, but your joints, bones and tendons don't accompany the muscle growth taking place, they don't grow along in a similar fashion, don't get wider or longer, so no more additional space for acommodating muscle is created in the process of adding more muscle tissue, therefore the available space for limb movements gets progressively smaller/more constricted as muscle hypertrophy advances. However, muscle being not only contractile but also a soft tissue itself adapts to this situation up to a certain point, where a real limitation starts showing. But this problem is not real for over 99% of lifters. Only for some very big bodybuilders who usually reach that size when these 3 factors combine: 1) Having top genetics in terms of muscle gains capability, 2) Being on gear/enhanced (using anabolics), 3) Training in a dedicated manner for quite many years.
@@PGG98any good bodybuilder knows that hypertrophy is best achieved under intense mechanical tension. aka getting a deep stretch. if anything ones ability to stretch should get better over time if done correctly
i watched this a few times. I really like this video and the way he is introducing his style of work out. it's very interesting and approachable. great great work
After finding your content, I have been super motivated! Building body (more or less) seems like the norm of doing body strenght and I have tried it so many times but it felt so pointless. Now I have been training for longest period of my life because you visualised my dreams and lead the way! Keep on good work! Biking was struggle because of my knees before, but now they are strong and I feel like flying when biking!
I love your content and positivity David! I started at the gym and switched to calisthenics. Im going very well on training regarding hypertrophy but i do struggle a lot with certain ways for strength and flexibility. Working towards hypertrophy seems much easier for me, probably because i got used to it and its more popular with a simple plan. Flexibility aspects were so confusing for me but people like you show great insides to it and it seems like there is also a great community behind of getting more aware on mobility and flexibility. Thank you David and as you say, regardless of what anybody does it's most important to enjoy the path that you decide for yourself! 👍
This is cool. Ive always struggled with flexibility. I can remember in 2nd grade being the only kid who could not sit cross legged for more than a few minutes when the teacher read a book to us. Do you have any footage from years ago showing you struggling with moves you can easily do now? I find those types of videos both entertaining, inspiring, and motivational. Thanks for the content!
@saradomim after a quick Google, yes in that I've landed on 7 reps being my ideal. Then I do as many as I can of the next hardest version until I can do 7 of them. But no in pretty much all other ways. I have fibromyalgia and am trying to figure out how to push myself hard enough to get results without pushing myself so hard I make myself sick. It's a fine line to walk but I'm making good progress.
He is not very strong or very muscular even for a natural, he is actually quite weak, the reason why he trains this way is so he can move around the way he does. The lighter you are, the easier it is to gain flexibility and to do calisthenics exercises. And you can build some strength without gaining muscle, by maintaining your weight but you'll be very limited. My little cousin is 15 and he wants to get big but he makes the mistake of not eating enough, so like David, he has great relative strength and he can actually bench press his own bodyweight but that is only 135 lbs, which is way too skinny to be big.
what i like about how david builds his arguments is they're also applicable to strength training, not just the specific type of flexibility training that he does
I train for rock climbing, finding your shorts helped me train for flexibility too (main hips for high feet positions) since starting ive noticed huge improvements relatively fast, showed me all training is valid and there is always something to learn from a different style or completely different activities/sports
Excellent video! I used to train quite similarly to you, with a focus on flexibility, handstands and odd bodyweight strength. Made great progress in everything , but recently plateaued in most bodyweight strength movements (stuck at straddle front lever and wall HS push ups). I also started to gather a few overuse injuries. As a taller person (6'1", 185cm) at 78kg I believe i simply lacked enough muscle mass to progress much further without drastically specializing. So for the last 6 months I've been bodybuilding in place of my strength sessions, put on 6kg and am actually feeling quite a bit stronger in all basic movements. Excited to see if i can push the strength feats further in the the future with a wider muscle base when I rreturn to that style of training.
I'm no expert, but it is important to remember that building muscle may not be necessary to building strength, but the stronger you are per muscle size, the more strain you put on your muscles, you muscle-building is good for preventing injury because it gives your muscles more resources to draw strength from so you're less likely to overload your muscles and cause injury
I’ve recently found you on You Tube, and dude, you grew on me. Like your content so much and your personality is contagious! You have a sub!😊 much love from Serbia!
What a legend, not for how you train (although it is also legendary), but rather because of your overall philosophy (train for your specific goals and let people live)
This was super interesting! I’d love to see a video talking about focusing on strength while making sure to not injure yourself in the process with all that heavy weight.
Love your channel. You've motivated me to start stretching. I'm definitely a beginner (can't touch my toes yet). Even by stretching my body a little bit it's amazing to discover how dormant our bodies become. Sometimes I'll simply stretch my body in a random way until I feel my muscle strain and hold it for a bit. Thanks for the content. (Also, you are a master at frame transitions).
Very cool video. And the best thing about strength and flexibility training is that progress in both can be objectively measured, so the effectiveness is not in question.
Watching you effortlessly move around is exactly what I want for myself. Gonna study some of your productions and see what your on about. I don't desire to look like a gymrat either...just really want fluidity of movement.

@@THESLlCK Do you think someone going into powerlifting or calisthenics would have an advantage instead of going with whatever the guy in the video does, with regards to stuff you do in the automotive industry?
Love this vid, I train for strength with weighted calisthenics and I love how I feel. I’ve done both and just for me personally, strong and powerful for my weight feels a lot better than being BIG and strong.
I just love your content dude. It's so fresh compared to all that I see in fitness. I train like a bodybuilder but would kill to have your flexibility and agility. You're the reason I've incorporated stretching routines in my training.
I was so happy when I found this channel because all the other fitness channels I found were always talking about trying to look like the biggest your body can get, which isn't something I care about. so to find a fitness channel that takes this approach has been way more inspiring to get up and exercise more. much love!

@@MMachavarianiI'd be interested in hearing it, too. Who knows, maybe it even is something new/innovative the world would benefit from 😆
You would be surprised what some pro bodybuilders do in modifying workouts to be more efficient for their goals. Things that look dumb, but are targeting specific muscles to improve symmetry.
I’d it works for you, and as long as it isn’t potentially dangerous (like balancing on a ball while lifting barbells), go for it.

I had to log in just to say how awesome and well-done your transition are. Great job!
Mad respect!!! Flexibility is so underrated in most people’s training. I train in Olympic weightlifting, so I know all about high intensity for not that many reps. I think functional training is the most important training as it translates the most into our daily movements. Bravo 🙌 your an inspiration!!!
I've done tons of powerlifting and "bodybuilding" training, but this way of training really caught me!! My experience with powerlifting was good and i enjoyed it but I also felt stiff, bulky, heavy and unathletic. So I changed to this kind of training and I feel SO much better and "useable". Of course I lost some muscle and sometimes I do miss the feeling of a good pump, but honestly this just works so well for me right now. Knowing that your body is formable and you can shape it and achieve exactly what you want with it, is absolutely amazing to me! I'm so grateful.
My motivation for training was athletics, but my style was closest to powerlifting. I got stronger but it didn’t translate to athletics and honestly if anything made worse. Didn’t know better. Useable is such a good word to describe what my training was lacking.
Can't you do both?
@@bigmitch7901of course, but spending they are slightly mutually exclusive; having higher body weight and more muscles make stretching harder and less "usable", unless you put in the effort to restretch and keep them flexible. Doing that is time consuming, and many people dont have enough time to do two types of training at the same time when doing just one suffices
@@deejaydee1578 I don't know, I just don't really see myself becoming too stiff and less usable as a natural lifter. If anything more flexible, because I do free weights only.

As a small kid, I grew up with my grandparents in their village for a few years. I helped them with gardening chores, transporting grain sacks and other menial tasks. Had no idea that carrying very heavy sacks of grain from the car to the barn would build my muscles up for strength, rather than volume. I'm now very skinny but I always surprise others by my strength.
It all makes sense after watching your videos.
Great job!!😃
The real ultimate sleeper build
Similarly my late father was a farmer. Not tall or big but a lifetime of varied manual work made him very strong and also gave him incredible stamina.
Same experiences here. My farmer grandfather called it ‘hen muscle’ where you may not look strong but you will surprise people with feats of strength in unique and unusual ways.
Part of it is just learning how to lift heavy things.
I appreciate that this dude gives a different perspective of health and fitness. Also, he encourages being supportive and respectful to everyone's respective fitness goals. We need more of that.

I love your channel - basically a different pov about having a healthy body and enjoying what it can do. It really gave me a boost when I first saw you pointing out all the things that can be great about being flexible. Stretching is somethibg I love but everyone has always told me its not "enough", so the encouragement is great.

Anatoly does look strong though, he's just smaller so he doesn't look big in clothes. He has a good physique
I train for hypertrophy (what bodybuilders do) but I also make sure to get at least 1 yoga session in per week so I stay moderately flexible which effectively allows me to have more 'functional' use of my muscles. It's cool to see a unique way of working out, and I will definitely be stealing a few of those movements to incorporate into my routines.
I admire your confidence in being different and therefore you are a trend setter.
Can we all appreciate the time and effort David puts into these fun and engaging videos. Love the content my dude
Yes i was more focused on his great video editing then the reason for the video itself.
The transitions were god tier
David is so humble to not enter UFC & WWE and annihilate everyone, he lets other fighters to shine

Tell me you know nothing about fighting without telling me
Wwe isn't fighting
I like your positive attitude towards different types of training, explaining your own without taking other methods down.
For me Pilates combined with some cardio cycling turns out to be the absolute sweet spot to be flexible, strong and fit
Thank you David ,
Ive been following your instructions and the mobility is helping prevent injuries and pain.
Im buying your vitamin candies! Thanks again.
David, you're doing good work. Thank you for your videos and literature. You're not only encouraging, but enabling, and I'm here for it.
I honestly love your videos cause they're short and extremely motivating. the kinds of things you do make me think "dang, I want to be able to do that!" and then I get up and do a bunch of workouts in a burst of motivation. My training often starts with watching one of your shorts.
This dudes transitions are the best I've ever seen. New sub here.
I'm so glad I came across this video, this helped answer my questions on how and why I would like to train my body!!
Finally a video (not a short)
Took long enough!!
Hi David! At some point in life, I was sick of doing certain reps and what kind of exercise to do by other people. They never resonated with me, so I just created my own exercise, which includes pull-ups, one-hand push-ups, and roundhouse kicks. It is awesome that I can create my own workout that is both fun and effective. Sometimes I watch tons of videos and no one has the same way of doing things. Not to bash those videos because they are immensely helpful if I know what to take in, but I think we achieve the most when we do things our own way. I think this video has this kind of energy and I love it!
To get good at it, just start doing it. When I started doing dips, I couldn't do ONE at full body weight. Just weeks later I could do more than 50 in several sets, at full body weight. I didn't use machines that simulate a dip, I just did dips. Do what you want to do, and the more of it you do, the more you CAN do.
My goals are to be both stronger AND gain muscle mass. Both together. I wouldn't want to get bulkier if I didn't also get stronger along the way.
I've always said, I'd be the smallest guy in the gym that can bench 4 plates rather than the biggest guy who can't bench 3.
If you went from doing 0 dips to 50 in weeks, then your form and tempo must be absolute ass. Go FULL range of motion and slow down if you want true strength and muscle gain.
@@Daniel-vu4qu Right? Either that number is made up or he does like 1/4th of a full rom...
I can´t even do 10 with my own body weight and i do 90kg on the Dip Machine (45kg each side) which is like 95 lbs for you american folks?
And i´m skinny
@@Daniel-vu4qu Well he said in several sets so that could be anything from being able to do like 4 in a row to 20+.
Gosh you are lovely. A proper ray of sunshine . Thanks for inspiring me and giving me hope
A collab betwen you and the Bioneer would be very interesting. You're both off-the-wall, off-the-cuff, flexible, wordy yet not verbose, doing multiple jump cuts, always moving, interspersing research with movement examples. Keep up the great work.
this guy reminds me of Hybrid Calisthenics!
Agreed, both
video maker is saying higher weight pritoitizes strength increase while high repittions priotizes msucle size... besides that, everything is "stay natural and practice makes perfect"
"you're stronger than you look" was one of the most memorable compliments i've ever received in my life because of how much it meant to hear. this video completely validates my pride in that statement, and helps me feel comfortable with the fact my BMI being too low doesn't make me a physically weak person.
its false in some sense.
its functional strength, not actual strength. for example a comptetitive bodybuilder who can deadlift 600 cant do a pull up, but a skinny person can. this is because of how much unused muscle is used in the pull up, and other than that height also factors. body control is very dependent on the user's bodyweight since, bodyweight is weights for calisthenic athletes. thats why shorter people can progress calisthenic a lot quicker than taller people. thats why i bet you my life, this guy cant bench 225.
@@hayekhayek580 what does "functional strength not actual strength" even mean? If you're doing a function, that's an actual thing. That's the only kind of strength that actually matters in any way. How is it not "actual"??
@@Random_Lurker Gym strength is being able to squat 300 pounds. Functional strength is being able to carry a fridge upstairs alone. If you train, you know these 2 are very different. Another example is easily being able to deadlift 225 pounds, but struggling to lift an average person that's passed out from the ground up. Functional strength is absolutely a thing.
@@hayekhayek580 lol youre definitely right man. honestly, the main reason that compliment meant a lot to me is because as a tall, _very_ lanky trans guy, i’ve always felt super self conscious about my upper body strength. the fact that i have arm strength far above what is usually expected even by my fitness trainer (i heard that compliment while rope climbing in a gym from a trainer)
is what i’m proud of. but you’re right, i absolutely agree, the only reason i can do shit like chin-ups is likely _because_ i’m underweight, and even then, i can only do like two lol. i’m working on it man >:)
edit: i’m up to five :)
@@999mi999 Who said anything about gym strength or squatting 300 pounds? Who's deadlifting 225 pounds? What are you talking about? None of this has anything to do with the comment here OR the video.

Sheer class! These vids are all sound, creative and inspiring. Great job guys
Followed you, bro. Love your attitude and body positivity. There are so many roided up fake natties out there these days that I suffer from body dysmorphia every time I look in the mirror. Thanks for showing us that being healthy and fit is the most important thing.
I'm a40 y.o. male with some injuries that limit exercises that I can do safely. Have been into natural lifting for health, longevity and to a certain extent esthetic reasons since about a year now. Don't have flexibility to do any of the stuff you do. Or much interest either, tbh. But I think what you do totally deserves respect and is really cool. You also strike as a likeable person to me. So I will subscribe to see more of your contents. Keep it up, dude!
Do flexibility weightlifting shortens muscles you have to incorporate it
@@PGG98 Weight lifting doesn't shorten muscles per se, and the limited ROM is NOT the case for the VAST MAJORITY of natural lifters wo are not blessed by particularly good genetics for muscle gains and who are not yet advanced either. The truly limited ROM as a direct consequence of weightlifting is almost exclusively observable in cases of an EXTREME HYPERTROPHY seen in very HUGE enhanced bodybuilders.
PS: The limited movement in this scenario is due to he fact that muscles obviously occupy physical space, but your joints, bones and tendons don't accompany the muscle growth taking place, they don't grow along in a similar fashion, don't get wider or longer, so no more additional space for acommodating muscle is created in the process of adding more muscle tissue, therefore the available space for limb movements gets progressively smaller/more constricted as muscle hypertrophy advances. However, muscle being not only contractile but also a soft tissue itself adapts to this situation up to a certain point, where a real limitation starts showing. But this problem is not real for over 99% of lifters. Only for some very big bodybuilders who usually reach that size when these 3 factors combine: 1) Having top genetics in terms of muscle gains capability, 2) Being on gear/enhanced (using anabolics), 3) Training in a dedicated manner for quite many years.
@@PGG98any good bodybuilder knows that hypertrophy is best achieved under intense mechanical tension. aka getting a deep stretch. if anything ones ability to stretch should get better over time if done correctly
i watched this a few times. I really like this video and the way he is introducing his style of work out. it's very interesting and approachable. great great work

After finding your content, I have been super motivated! Building body (more or less) seems like the norm of doing body strenght and I have tried it so many times but it felt so pointless. Now I have been training for longest period of my life because you visualised my dreams and lead the way! Keep on good work! Biking was struggle because of my knees before, but now they are strong and I feel like flying when biking!
I love your content and positivity David! I started at the gym and switched to calisthenics. Im going very well on training regarding hypertrophy but i do struggle a lot with certain ways for strength and flexibility. Working towards hypertrophy seems much easier for me, probably because i got used to it and its more popular with a simple plan. Flexibility aspects were so confusing for me but people like you show great insides to it and it seems like there is also a great community behind of getting more aware on mobility and flexibility. Thank you David and as you say, regardless of what anybody does it's most important to enjoy the path that you decide for yourself! 👍
I really like how you approach fitness and training. Keep up the good work.
You’re my new favourite RUclipsr. Greetings from the UK ❤
This is cool. Ive always struggled with flexibility. I can remember in 2nd grade being the only kid who could not sit cross legged for more than a few minutes when the teacher read a book to us. Do you have any footage from years ago showing you struggling with moves you can easily do now? I find those types of videos both entertaining, inspiring, and motivational. Thanks for the content!
I am so much happier doing fewer hard reps, and I'm seeing faster progress and more muscle definition. Really glad I found this channel.
Mike Mentzer style
@@saradomimNope.
@saradomim after a quick Google, yes in that I've landed on 7 reps being my ideal. Then I do as many as I can of the next hardest version until I can do 7 of them. But no in pretty much all other ways. I have fibromyalgia and am trying to figure out how to push myself hard enough to get results without pushing myself so hard I make myself sick. It's a fine line to walk but I'm making good progress.
He is not very strong or very muscular even for a natural, he is actually quite weak, the reason why he trains this way is so he can move around the way he does. The lighter you are, the easier it is to gain flexibility and to do calisthenics exercises. And you can build some strength without gaining muscle, by maintaining your weight but you'll be very limited.
My little cousin is 15 and he wants to get big but he makes the mistake of not eating enough, so like David, he has great relative strength and he can actually bench press his own bodyweight but that is only 135 lbs, which is way too skinny to be big.
@@lazo3251 thanks for the info!
what i like about how david builds his arguments is they're also applicable to strength training, not just the specific type of flexibility training that he does
I finally found someone that trains similar to myself. Love these videos.
I train for rock climbing, finding your shorts helped me train for flexibility too (main hips for high feet positions) since starting ive noticed huge improvements relatively fast, showed me all training is valid and there is always something to learn from a different style or completely different activities/sports
Excellent video! I used to train quite similarly to you, with a focus on flexibility, handstands and odd bodyweight strength. Made great progress in everything , but recently plateaued in most bodyweight strength movements (stuck at straddle front lever and wall HS push ups). I also started to gather a few overuse injuries. As a taller person (6'1", 185cm) at 78kg I believe i simply lacked enough muscle mass to progress much further without drastically specializing. So for the last 6 months I've been bodybuilding in place of my strength sessions, put on 6kg and am actually feeling quite a bit stronger in all basic movements. Excited to see if i can push the strength feats further in the the future with a wider muscle base when I rreturn to that style of training.
Is actually very complex try to study chinese ying yan theory in aplication to physical training.
I'm no expert, but it is important to remember that building muscle may not be necessary to building strength, but the stronger you are per muscle size, the more strain you put on your muscles, you muscle-building is good for preventing injury because it gives your muscles more resources to draw strength from so you're less likely to overload your muscles and cause injury
First time seeing a video of yours. such a joy!

Lol a porn bot stole your comment so I was looking for it
Those are some smooth transitions
You explained exactly what I wanted to aim for!
Love your channel. You've motivated me to start stretching. I'm definitely a beginner (can't touch my toes yet). Even by stretching my body a little bit it's amazing to discover how dormant our bodies become. Sometimes I'll simply stretch my body in a random way until I feel my muscle strain and hold it for a bit. Thanks for the content. (Also, you are a master at frame transitions).
Very cool video. And the best thing about strength and flexibility training is that progress in both can be objectively measured, so the effectiveness is not in question.
Watching you effortlessly move around is exactly what I want for myself. Gonna study some of your productions and see what your on about.
I don't desire to look like a gymrat either...just really want fluidity of movement.

@@hamingnu6610 well I'm in the auto field and frankly none of these exercises would help. Only thing to focus on is shoulder and grip/wrist strength

I have been trying to achieve strength without muscle and here it is. You have my gratitude. 🙂
you need muscle for strength, so that is quite literally impossible
Love this vid, I train for strength with weighted calisthenics and I love how I feel. I’ve done both and just for me personally, strong and powerful for my weight feels a lot better than being BIG and strong.

I just love your content dude. It's so fresh compared to all that I see in fitness. I train like a bodybuilder but would kill to have your flexibility and agility. You're the reason I've incorporated stretching routines in my training.
I was so happy when I found this channel because all the other fitness channels I found were always talking about trying to look like the biggest your body can get, which isn't something I care about. so to find a fitness channel that takes this approach has been way more inspiring to get up and exercise more. much love!
