Thanks to you too Alan for inspiring us for all these years!

Loved your early videos on powerlifting tutorials

Love you Alan. I want a baby!

It was fun exchanging ideas with you Alan, thanks mate.

would be amazing, calisthenics and gymnastics world has more to offer these guys in terms of our understanding of biomechanics, and how we can use it to be strong and resilient, than we give ourselves credit for. similarly, these folks have a lot to feed back into our world that will improve our training and performance to the next level, using their learnings from training specifically the lower body for resilience, and applying the same principles to a calisthenics athlete or a gymnast sprucing up their shoulder girdle for better performance (aka what rings are for). overlap between calisthenics / gymnastics and physiotherapy is actually quite a bit, looking at history, with gymnastics starting out as a way to build resilience and mobility in the body - eliminating weakness, pain, and restrictions in the process. it would really take our fitness space to the next level of enlightenment, frankly, to have discussions like these where what seemed like utterly disparate perspectives converge onto a greater level of understanding of fitness, training, and of the human body in itself.

💯 we need it

Gotta limber up the wrists.

Alan has a good sense of humour.

From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

This is a phenomenal advice for a new stock traders and investors who want that quick short term game, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

@@bobschriswell565I've been solely investing in real estate. But with the recent hyper home pricing i've liquidated a few things and have $45k in cash laying around idle. Would love to get your recommendations, I'm in search of something lucrative in the current crazy markets, i will be glad.

My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i dont do that by myself. i follow the trades of Mrs Karen Gaye Gray.

She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

describe the rest of your form, so we can help

@@T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. I raise my hips while doing hollow body hold. I think this is putting pressure on my back. Is it right? How can I cure my lower back pain?

@@user-lg8it1rc7z it does not put pressure on your back if your core is strong

​@@user-lg8it1rc7zi don't know anything about that exercise nor have i ever tried it but i recommend steenghtening ur back and abs

Check out Jeff Nippard, specifically his videos on Powerbuilding. It's about blending hypertrophy and powerlifting training

@@rubenv3026 thanks, I'll give it a try!

Was looking for this comment😅

I do not think Mike is truly bashing callisthenics, it is just that he is extremely hypertrophy focused, which means that even if it is extremely impressive and challenging he will pay little attention to feats that are involving a lot of technique, balancing, isometrics, or a rep range that is unpractical for hypertrophy, or simply does not have a good stimulus to fatigue ratio. But if a good old wide grip pull-up is challenging for 15 reps he will not dismiss it.
