There is no excuse to not workout while traveling. I always carry an elastic band when I travel and do some mobility work with it. Bodyweight exercises take care of the rest.
I prefer the type of your old videos. I am following you since you started your RU-vid channel and I have to say that your old videos are much better. I will always support you. Have a nice day!
Glad to see you're back, I haven't seen any fitness related videos from you in what feels like months! I was a little afraid you have had enough of RU-vid, so I'm mostly replying to wish you luck and say that I hope you stick around for a bit - your exercise content is always baller.
thank you so much Paul for your video. I need to buy this bar urgently as I have been watching all your videos. You inspire me to take care of my health.
Fortres, what do you think about "overtraining"? training the same muscle every day - 7 days a week. for strenght and hypertrofy. Actualy it works very well for me, but i want i know what do you think about it. Thanks
Ain't no such thing as overtraining. Only rest when your muscles are in extreme ache and pain. That goes away in 2 days tops... As soon as that goes away, go harder than before and make PRs.
I think rubber loops are better to take with you on traveling than a pull-up bar. They are also perfect for replacing weights. Like, you can do push ups with a rubber loop on you and it's almost like bench press.
Paul, you should make a video about hamstring and lower extremity exercises with body fitness. Do you incorporate the shocking principle into your exercises regiments?
I'd be interested to hear how you go about planning a workout or a few weeks worth of workouts. There's all these progressions everywhere - handstands, planche, ring muscle ups, etc.- but I find it hard to combine them into productive workouts. Or would you recommend focusing on one progression at a time? Thank you!
Hey pavel can you give tips like how to build a strong chest through bench pressing and strong legs through squats for strength training...like everything you need to know for bench and squats cuz all the powerlifting channels are too advanced they want to push performence like widen the grip to minimise the distance the bar has to travel and other hacks but there are people who believe one can build muscle and strength in natural athletes as muscle devolopment is inevitable in natural athletes...hope you get my point and i would love to see you make a video amd thumbs up for this video !.
hello Paul i'm doing 2 excercises mainly : push up and pull up 2-4-6: push up and 3-5-7: pull up In a month the rep and volume can't increase. So can you tell me some tips to help me breakthough this? push up: i can do about 25 reps - 3 sets pull up: 5-8 reps - 3 sets Normally, after 3 set of push up and pull up i always feel fatigue in the muscle but seem like its not getting better Should i do excercise in the morning, in the afternoon and before go to bed or all 3? and what extra excercises i can do to help me stronger? thank you very much
+Snowy Khoa Dont expect too much in 1 month. Dont expect too much in 1 year. Paul has been working out since he was a kid. Get some carbs before you workout, you will feel the difference. You wont be stronger, but you will probably do more reps.
+Snowy Khoa try in every set of pull ups to reach out your max reps.. it is always the last rep that it counts. for example 1st set you do 8 pu.. the 2nd one try to do 8 too! and the third one too. also increase your set numbers to 5. 3 sets are the minimun requirement to maintain your strength.
Snowy Khoa Thats good, but not enough. Milk doesnt really have a lot of carbs, and bananas do but they are kinda small. For me, Potatoes and Oatmeal are the best "pre workouts". Tons of carbs in there
MrKrusten Ⓥ not necessarily, you make/ use an door attachment and do them in a seated position ,kinda like what they do in p90x. You can pick a heavy resistance for harder pull downs rows.
Hey Paul, I was wondering what your view on intermittent fasting is. I've been doing it for about 2 weeks and have seen muscle gain and fat loss, wondering what your view was on it.
Hi Paul I'm thinking of purchasing your 2 month programme? Is it worth it and will I see results? What Is your opinion on bar brothers the system programme?
+official ronin You dont need any program, there is not a single program on this planet that is worth it. You dont need a plan when you work out. You just do whatever feels right for you.
official ronin But thats how Paul has done it himself right? He never used any program of someone else. He found out what works best for him. Everyone who has an amazing body or is very good as calisthenics does this. These people never use any program. They just exercise and do whatever feels right. Over time, you will get an feeling for what is right and what is not. Just saying
+official ronin I disagree on some points with Mr. Krusten. The first steps are always the hardest, and some experienced guidance can help ANYBODY start out. The first artist may have learned on his own, but the best artists learned first from their teachers. Basically, we have the luxury of standing on the shoulders of those who came before. If 40 dollars is affordable for you, I think an introductory programme is an excellent idea if you're serious about getting into calisthenics. From it you will learn what feels right for you, and then you can grow form there. Think of it as a head-start rather than gospel. Paul is knowledgeable and experienced, and if you like his RU-vid content you'll probably find enjoyment in his 2 months beginners program. If 40 dollars is a luxury (for many people it is, I was in such a position not too long ago) there are many free alternatives. The community www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness is generally friendly and has a great (free!) workout progression in the sidebar. Good luck on your fitness journey
How do I bring up a lagging body part? My arms aren't proportional with my chest and back. I want to gain size on my arms as shoulders while maintaining or gaining strength in my chest and back
I don't know too much about calisthenics for arms so weights might be better to use. But if you don't use weights or refuse too do chin-ups for biceps, tricep pushups, tricep bodyweight extensions, diamonds
Hi paul I am currently injured and have been injured for about a week now and im unsure how to workout. i usually workout 6 days a week doing cardio and bodyweight but as i have a wrist injury right now i cant. Could you give me some advice or help with some workouts i can do that dont put strain on my wrist? Thanks a lot
Hey paul...using a pull ups bar how can i train the biceps long head??..because the chin ups focus alot on the short head...so the biceps will look big from inside and flat from outside...any help??...thanks alot
hello Paul I have been working out for the last 6 months purely bodyweight and after 1 month of working out i was able to do 30 pushups. I have continued to workout but i cant do more than 30 pushups. My pullups have increases a little its my pushups that i want to improve. I try to do other variations like diamonds, wide, and im even starting one my one-arm but i cant do more than 30 pushups in one set. How to I get out of this plateau??
What excercises you recomend for Hiatal Hernia,or any hernia?I have sliding hernia,it means it is present sometimes,sometimes not,doctors say i should not lift heavy weights,i have been doing weighted pull ups for years,dont think that is harming me ,any advice?
I've been trying to learn the front lever since June this year. Even though I've progressed quite a bit, I keep getting injuries like tendonitis in my elbows, and now in my left latissimus muscle. How do you work past this? I ve tried resting but the pain in my lat keeps coming back. thanks
+Katrick9 Its harder to do exercises when your body is cold, not just winter. So even if its summer, if you are cold, exercising will be kinda hard to do. But thats no problem at all, because all you have to do is make your body warm, and keep your body warm throughout the workout ( meaning dont rest so much between exercises). So as soon as you made your body warm enough through exercise, winter and summer is not difference. Depending tho, -5 °c is insance and would be very hard to workout. Or atleast it would be uncomfortable. But i have done it myself several times. It was uncomfortable as i said, but totally possible.
+Craig Ryall Im not fortress but 1 very important thing while working out is to keep your blood rushing througout the entire time. You dont want any muscles of yours to get "cold" while you are exercising. Thats why i never do 3x pull ups, 3x push ups and stuff like that. I switch between the exercise after every set, because i want to keep the blood running all the time. Many people say this is the key to get stronger and gain muscles, or atleast its an very crucial part of it. It is always better to rest as less as possible. Again, the idea behind this is to keep your blood flowing, at all times. I say no more than 1 minute. If you cant do your full rep count after some time, its ok. So if you can only do 3-4 reps after 1 hour because you rest so little, thats totally fine.
+MrKrusten Ⓥ I don't think so man you see people all ripped in the abs area but they are actually engaging them subconsciously it comes with practice of course. wanna know how :/
Hey Fortress, so So i've been in gym for like 2 months or so and im building muscle, and im gaining volume and strength but i still have fat , how can i lose fat and not muscle whilst training in the same time, because i dont wunna stick on losing fat and foregrt about building muscle and it will go away, btw im not fat i just have fat so the abs cant show :/
joul Bahouth More cardio. As simple as that. Do it after the bodybuilding, so you won't be burning the energy needed for your muscles, then you will be burning your fat.
+Nikolaj Prodanovic he posted on his facebook page about how he doesn't believe we are designed to be vegan, based on the best source of certains micros like b12 being found in meat.
+David Stanojevic Pavel and I would disagree with you there and his understanding of the human body is the foundation of much of his thinking on bodyweight training and health.
+Chris Watts B12 is found naturally in soil and ground water, not meat. The meat you eat is supplemented with B12 because they too need it to survive. Definitely not a good example as to why not to become a vegan.
The difference in how you do them is with pull-ups your palms face away from you and with chin-ups they face towards you. The difference in how they work is chin-ups focus more on the biceps while pull-ups work the lats more.
