Dude, thank you so much for the shoutout!! 💪😁 Being strong pound for pound instead of being just strong is one of the fitness topics that still fascinates me to this day!🤩
Sadly, many people just want big muscles, sacrificing anything else, including health. I suscribed to your channel when you were pretty small, I'm glad it's growing. An integral and holistic approach to fitness is much needed.
True that! Power to weight ratio really matters, when I started climbing my weight is about 115kg - 122kg with just covering 15 meters really is tiring for me. Then shredded down to 90kg I don't even rest on the landing before going to my supposed area to work. As always very informative topics given to us freely, thank you for that. Keep it up!!
@@Skoopyghost I'm only at 170 cm, I don't have loose skin though. Yea it will go away it may take some time just stay consistent, yo are going to make it!
Just finished watching “unlimited “ with Chris Hemsworth and it was really good however I would love to see Netflix get behind Adam with a good budget so he could put out his own show “Super-functional!” That would be absolutely awesome!!
You preach exactly what I practice. I love studying physical fitness with you as a student of the world and by you as your student you’re the bomb dude. 🤙🏾 The way you present this knowledge is invaluable.
Thank you for explaining the difference of strength/power to weight ratio. Recently I got into climbing and bouldering. I'm aiming to pair that with parkour and the occasional hoops pickup game. And I'm 6'2 around 200 pounds so I need to cut down the fat, then increase both ratios according to my goals. Will you consider doing a new top10 exercise video about this topic?
By the way, the thumbnail is awesome! It reminds me of the classic body types examples. Plus, it's a great, symbolic example of your hybrid approach to fitness.
This topic of this video is exactly the the thing I have been thinking about nowadays. Thank you for discussing this. I feel like it isnt spoken about as it should. Thank you also for distinguishing between strength and power to weight ratios!
Superfunctional Training meets superfunctional camera! I loved it. No bullshit second camera angle of You while You speak to the audience. This second angle holds no function for the viewer whatsoever but has become more and more a distasteful fashion in recent years and more in recent months. It is not only anoying but forced me to use many videos - also some of Yours - as podcasts rather than look at them. This video here however is a perfect mix of a- and b-roll. You hid most of the jump cuts by jumping or rolling into a new a-roll position. Excellent. A pleasure for the eye, the soul and the interested fitness fan inside of me. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. ❤
This is the most comprehensive (and beyond) guide to introduce fitness. Seriously, this is a crash course that could give someone an entire semester of physical education credit. Excelsior!
Loving the energy you are putting out there. 👊😃Would love to see you take a 'Mr. Joe Average" and train him (or her but I suspect the former would be more popular with viewers). A side project for the channel ...something closer to your average viewer in physique/body composition rather than your amazing but unattainable level * in the short to medium term at least. It would be an interesting journey. Yes, I have seen a channel or two do something similar...but what you offer is unique. Might push viewership & subscriptions into the rarefied million+ zone.
There really is too little content on training goals and modalities not related to aesthetics/hypertrophy. As always, you help bring a bit of balance to the fitness RU-vid scene. I'm still trying to build the basic strength, but while I want to be balanced, my goal is definitely more grasshopper than ant. So once the strength is good, I'll be switching more of my efforts to power training. Perhaps you could talk a bit more about how to train for power. The general consensus is low reps with moderate weight, but sometimes I wonder if it would be better to do more reps to get some endurance in the mix as well.
Force = mass × acceleration The bigger an object is and the faster it goes the more force it produces. Heavy weights at a high speed = power Olympic weightlifting and plyometrics work power.
Thank you so much. I really do appreciate the basics, cause I need more than a little bit. Because they were able to get me to the hospital so quickly, I kept most of who I appreciate. Your insight,. they help me much. George Davis
I love your videos, always appreciated the research based approach as someone from a scientific background. However, i find myself wanting to hear about what exercises you enjoy the most and how to enjoy exercising more. Even things more mental health related, such as how best to approach long term muscle weakness or mind muscle related pains. There is alot of fitness RU-vidrs out there who already have videos on this but i find myself wanting to hear your opinion on such things.
Again asking (for the algo and) for a video on adrenaline! Knowing if you can improve sensitivity, or even learn jow to use it for sudden bursts of power!
The power to weight ratio becomes very clear when you yourself weigh 62 kg and hold kick pads for someone that weighs 100 kg during kickboxing practice. It's not possible 🤣🙈 I go flying with each kick. 😅🙈
Thanks for another great video Adam. I know you like to try new things so here's a suggestion for you... I've noticed that you've mentioned injuries and aches and pains more than a few times in your recent videos. My challenge is that you try whole food plant based oil free eating for 1 month. I'm 58 years old and since I switched my aches and pains have all but disappeared, my strength and VO2 max have increased and my body fat is down to 14%. If you are worried about becoming weak watch Frank Medrano, and if you want good recipes try Simnett Nutrition. I know we are all different and it may not work for you, but I know that if you try it you will be honest with your feedback. Good luck...
Spartans, and Roman Legion Centurions, and Vikngr' all had different means to fulfill their particular weight/strength ratios. Really neat to read about.
Many thought that vikings were were big, bulky men due to how Holywood portrays them but if you check historical they were actually rather slim men at average height of 5'9. Very similar to what the youtuber is demonstrating here.
Legit just started a "bulk" of sorts and this video comes out lol. I plan on training strength until the track season, and then training power during the spring and stuff. Fortunately for me, I don't put on weight _too_ easily, and I have a calisthenics base with _only *very* (the last few days in execution, only the last few weeks in accesability) recently being able to lift heavy weights. That and I never really wanted to be big enough to slow down too much, prefering to be more interdisciplinarian (protean as he says). Obviously, though, I'm not saying this video isn't helpful or even that I won't try to implement soon! This channel is one of ny fitness faves, afterall. And if anything this should help with the cut! On an unrelated note, I forgot how accents change when you sing lol.
this is something cyclists have been doing for decades: being as powerful as possible while maintaining minimal weight. I've carried this method to strength training since I've stopped racing
I've found that I was able to move my own body weight easiest when I was 145lbs. I was able to do all calisthenics and climbing easily. Problem was my overall top strength was basically a little over my own weight, excluding my deadlift.
Can you make a video about rehabing your elbows? I believe it would be a great video, because you have videos on strengthening but what about fixing joints?
Surprised Adam never mentions Olympic lifting exercises. Sure they’re very technical, but they’re literally the best for power and a staple in explosive athletes’ program.
I can see you using your right pect more than a balanced push. And your body shows the difference. I am sure this applies to myself as well. Unilateral push exercises and pull. all one sided if possible.
That planche push up was impressive. Make a video about how being heavy doesn’t affect you in calisthenics skills. or having big legs is bad for calisthenics. I do calisthenics and I hear this a lot.
Having big legs is harder for calisthenics though haha, way harder to planche etc cos they literally weigh more than someone who has never hit legs in their life. I train full body and am trying to unlock parallel bar planche but can't even hold a tucked planche yet haha
@@RDS_Armwrestling try a plank on a wall, l sit to tuck, psuedo push ups leaning forward with each rep, or a frog stand. Im stuck at the advance tuck planche. Doing high reps of basics helped me a ton. dumbbells helped a lot too. Weighted vest and belts as well. Calisthenics is harder when you have big legs though. It sucks.
@omarvaladez007 cheers man. I think it's just figuring out balance points etc too, I almost had the frog planche a few weeks ago, I don't train for it that much though.
Great video Adam! My training these days is along the lines of explosive strength and movement so the info you provided is very helpful. By the way, I have been using barefoot shoes for a few months now and they are incredible!
Im doing a martial arts based isometrics with kettle bells. I would like to implement some overcoming isometrics. Haven't settled on a routine that stacks with karate. Im getting some ideas, though. Something that involves a striking post with a solid foundation.
Grasshoppers ARE able to lift absurd multiples of their weight. The reason why is scaling laws. Muscle strength scales with the square of size (ie area of muscle), while mass scales with the cube of size (ie muscle volume). So when look at animal of increasing size, weight increases much faster than the ability to move that weight. This is why insects get away with very lean members as compared to human, and can carry much higher weight in proportion to their weight.
Hello Bioneer, I really enjoying your videos you are huge inspiration. I was living a very unhealthy lifestyle in my early 20s which almost caused my death. I changed everything and comitted to my sport. Now i am 31 and i am diagnosed with ac arthrosis, and i am in pain everyday i stretch much but many excercises are not possible right now. Do you maybe have some good tips for people like me ?
