My advice to people listening to this, who AREN'T tiny little kids like this young boy is, DON'T FOLLOW THIS ADVICE. If you don't have weights at home and can't stick to below 15 reps, study calisthenics progressions and find exercises you CAN stick to below 15 reps to failure. 5 reps of pistols per leg is a LOT healthier than 40 reps of bodyweight squatss. Click more for the long explanation: The issue with hey just rep out brah as long as you're close to failure is. non existent with tiny little kids like the young tiny boy in the video. But once you leave your childhood behind by about 40 years, you're going to recognize the following: doing high reps as long as you're close to failure brah is going to, after VERY few workouts, cause joint pains, tendon issues and various kinds of connective tissue issue(s. Us older people have slowed down with connective tissue recovery and can't just bounce back after getting our tendons through 500 reps like kids can. If this sounds strange, think of what's happening to your tendons, ligaments etc while working out as a piece of wire you're trying to break with your bare hands: you'd naturally try bending the wire until it breaks, right? And the more you bend it, the weaker it gets. Well, same applies to your tendons: the more reps you do, the more times your tendon is bent, the weaker it gets. Of course, little kids' organisms (rougly by the age of 30) recover these fairly fast. Remember how you could twist your ankle real bad at the age of 15 and just walk it off even if it swole like crazy? While nowadays you likely need 3 weeks off squats and likely a physical therapist? Yeah, that. And then there's the issue of size. Many people, especially caucasians, left their tininess long ago too; meaning a 7ft 40 yo man will feel these issues a LOT sooner than a person sized as this little thing in the video. The thing is, while we're all similarly built, a tendon of a 7ft person has to travel a lot longer way and stretch more under more momentum than a tendon of a tiny little guy in the video. Add to that, there's extra INCHES of that tendon that need to recover and recuperate post workout. Again, think of the wire: the longer the wire you're bending, the easier it's gonna bend due to momentum applied. Oh but wait, bigger people have bigger tendons and smaller people are lighter so there's less resistance, rihgt? Well. yes, but a tiny boy like him doesn't have tendons that are THAT much thinner than those of a 7ft tall man. And he IS lighter, but with his short little arms; the momentum is SO much reduced, it doesn't really zero out.

So far I would say the best home video workouts during the Corona virus or generally have come from the two Jeffs. The other being Jeff Cavalier from Athlean X. Regarding home equipment, primarily a doorway pull up bar and all types of resistance bands. Secondly a yoga mat and a physio ball. Dumbbells and an adjustable bench is next. Replacement for weights I've found water bottle containers and a backpack or suitcases to put them in. Furniture around the home is good provided it is suitable and safe and won't get damaged such as chairs, tables, desks or counter tops, edge of a bed. They are useful for inverted rows, dips etc. Spaces like a wall to do wall work and a doorway to do pull ups and other useful support exercises. I like the lateral raises shown here.

Would be hilarious if those bodybuilders now training from home started looking better from more calisthethenic and band exercises by the time they resume going to a well equipped gym again. Im going to get heavy resistance bands, dip stands a a small bench. I don't think there was enough mention of what can be done with heavy resistance bands here. I'm looking forward to a different training style for a while and hopefully iron out weak points by focusing and developing pure wholesome functional strength and atleast keeping off muscle loss.

cardio kickboxing requires no equipment and when done properly with full effort generates great amount of tension, blood flow in the muscles and leaves your arms looking like you have been lifting for 3 hours straight. Eating enough protein, being in caloric surplus and Incorporating cardio kickboxing in your routine will lead to lean muscle mass gain, increase in explosive strength and even some fatloss. Please make a video about it you feel it may benefit others. Thanks

I second no load training, its no joke Its really only limited by how hard you can contract those opposing muscle groups and then by how hard you contract your agonists to overcome that resistance. You arent going to get jacked doing this, but like you said, its way more effective than most people realize and has a fairly unlimited ceiling to how much you can get out of it

Hey guys I've been getting asked about this a ton, so wanted to share my thoughts on at-home training and nutritional modifications for retaining muscle while training sub-optimally. I mentioned at the beginning that I'd like to donate the ad revenue from this video, so if you have any suggestions for charities, please let me know. Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody Peace

Regarding the first portion of the video (nutrition) take a vitamin D supplement if you don't already. Eating a properly balanced diet is sufficient - but most people don't do that. 3/4 of Americans are vitamin D deficient, vitamin D supplementation in deficient people has been shown to significantly reduce acute respiratory infection.
