- 0:00today wanting to cover things that are
- 0:02very important for progressing with
- 0:04exercise to kind of achieve our goals so
- 0:07and we're looking to shape our bodies in
- 0:09a certain way we can of course always
- 0:12lose or gain fat to get closer to what
- 0:15we're trying to get but unfortunately we
- 0:17don't control where fat goes on our body
- 0:20other than you know if you're on HRT or
- 0:22not that affects some things when it
- 0:24comes to shaping things even though we
- 0:26can't put fat somewhere that we want to
- 0:29or remove it from somewhere what we can
- 0:31do is control where we build muscle and
- 0:34where we do not because muscle instead
- 0:37of fat is built by your body where you
- 0:39need it the most and it is not kept in
- 0:42places where your body doesn't need it
- 0:44this is called atrophy it's where you
- 0:46know if you don't
- 0:47if you lie in a bed all day because you
- 0:50get hospitalized or something like you
- 0:52will lose muscle mass across your entire
- 0:54body
- 0:54we can control where we put muscle by
- 0:57doing exercises for the areas that we
- 1:00want to do this is how muscles are a lot
- 1:02more specific to where you actually use
- 1:04them and so when you want to build more
- 1:08muscle area that means that we're going
- 1:10to have to progressively increase what
- 1:13we're doing to prove to our body that we
- 1:15need muscle there this is essentially
- 1:18there's a concept called Progressive
- 1:20overload that
- 1:22any strength training any muscle
- 1:24training program is going to require and
- 1:28that is the idea that you go into the
- 1:30gym and then you know you do your
- 1:33workouts to use your muscles and
- 1:36overload what your body is really able
- 1:38to do
- 1:39and then your body will respond to that
- 1:42build more muscle get more strength
- 1:45and then you have to you know
- 1:46progressively increase what you're doing
- 1:48to actually get
- 1:51to that point where your body goes oh
- 1:52shoot we actually
- 1:55we still really need more muscle to
- 1:58actually do this and so you just
- 2:00continue this process over and over
- 2:03until eventually your body is getting
- 2:06closer to the amount of muscle an area
- 2:08that you you want at that point you know
- 2:11you can reduce uh how much you're doing
- 2:13to just maintain that level of muscle
- 2:15versus proving that you need more now
- 2:19there are a lot of different ways
- 2:22too progressively overload your muscles
- 2:25and some of them have limits some of
- 2:28them basically don't
- 2:30uh the most simple is obviously you know
- 2:34how much weight you're forcing your
- 2:36muscles to hold or how many times you do
- 2:39that so that's going to be if you're in
- 2:42the gym if you're trying to do a squat
- 2:44with 100 pounds first 200 pounds you're
- 2:48increasing the weight versus if you want
- 2:50to do it you know 10 times versus 20
- 2:52that is increasing your reps and both of
- 2:54those can be used you know to increase
- 2:57how difficult it's going to be for our
- 2:59body up to a certain point you know what
- 3:01your what your body is able to hold
- 3:05for that and as as far as weight goes
- 3:08you know sometimes like grip can become
- 3:11a limitation for certain exercises or
- 3:13it's just
- 3:15uh hard to
- 3:17push even further in you know the
- 3:20equipment that we have if there's a
- 3:22limit to how much a machine has for
- 3:24weight or if you have a body weight
- 3:25exercise
- 3:27and that's where you know reps makes a
- 3:29lot more sense
- 3:31um but then for the number of
- 3:33repetitions that you do there's a
- 3:36certain limit where like if I do
- 3:37bodyweight squats for example
- 3:39I'm going to be doing like a hundred
- 3:42body weight squats before it starts to
- 3:45feel challenging and so that's just
- 3:46generally not productive
- 3:48and so that's where you know other
- 3:51methods of progression can come in as
- 3:53well some of those being range of motion
- 3:56this is for example you know if you're
- 3:58doing a squat how low are you going down
- 4:02um are you going just like barely down
- 4:04at all or is your butt practically
- 4:06touched on the ground those are going to
- 4:07be different and how challenging they
- 4:09are uh or you know even if we have
- 4:13uh ways to artificially increase how low
- 4:17we can go so for example
- 4:20like a deadlift where you're lefting
- 4:22weight off of the grounds you can stand
- 4:24on something that then lift weight that
- 4:27is you know even further below
- 4:30uh where your feet are or you know
- 4:32elevate it so that it's closer to your
- 4:35body to make it easier or harder
- 4:36depending on what you're trying to do
- 4:38and these are all ways to kind of tweak
- 4:41the way they're overloading muscles uh
- 4:43but I would say that it's always
- 4:45important to consider that you want to
- 4:49keep form good at all times this is
- 4:52because you know good form versus bad
- 4:54form is also a method of progression but
- 4:58it's also something where if you have
- 4:59bad form and you do an exercise with a
- 5:01lot of weight that's where you start to
- 5:04see you know a risk of injury the other
- 5:06thing that you can very easily tweak for
- 5:08this is going to be something called
- 5:11time under tension and so that's you
- 5:14know if you do a squat and you have 10
- 5:18squats to do and you just go through
- 5:20them as quickly as possible versus
- 5:22trying to slow down on the way as you
- 5:26kind of descend in the squat and then
- 5:28hold for a second in the bottom and then
- 5:30slowly push up that will mean that your
- 5:32muscles are being tense for a longer
- 5:34period of time and that's also another
- 5:36way to make you know an extra size more
- 5:39intense but all of those and the workout
- 5:42programs that I have written for you are
- 5:44going to be applied in different ways
- 5:45you'll kind of be able to see that but
- 5:47there are some things I do to try and
- 5:50lay out how your workout programs are
- 5:53made
- 5:54to ensure that we're able to do all of
- 5:57this safely so
- 6:00for example I don't recommend especially
- 6:04for body weight exercises trying to do
- 6:08like an exercise that's going to be
- 6:10challenging on like the one to five rep
- 6:12range because a lot of times to do that
- 6:15requires for body weight a more
- 6:19um
- 6:20Advanced movement where the form is
- 6:23trickier and if you're only able to do
- 6:25it for like one to five reps General
- 6:28that means the chance of failing form
- 6:30and then entering yourself is much much
- 6:32higher
- 6:33um so especially if more people are
- 6:35starting out even though
- 6:37I personally
- 6:39wouldn't want to do this at the weight
- 6:40that I'm currently at I might put you on
- 6:42a set of like 10 to 20 Reps for a
- 6:45barbell squat even though I might do
- 6:48closer to six to ten because I want you
- 6:51to be able to keep it at a lighter
- 6:52weight and be able to focus as much on
- 6:54form as possible
- 6:56um first you know every rep being a
- 6:58Fight for Your Life
- 7:00uh in addition something that's very
- 7:03important to consider for this
- 7:07is that what is required for Progressive
- 7:10overload depends on how much training
- 7:13you have done and like your existing
- 7:15strength level
- 7:16so in in the chat I I dropped a couple
- 7:19of pictures so I'm going to point to the
- 7:22third this is the General Adaptation
- 7:25Syndrome this super compensated athlete
- 7:28uh but this is basically you know the
- 7:31the process of
- 7:33working in an ideal situation
- 7:37um to get stronger
- 7:40and so it's like the alarm reaction is
- 7:44essentially
- 7:45stress of what you are doing
- 7:48and how hard that is that like the
- 7:51harder that is the the deeper that line
- 7:53is going to go down on this graph
- 7:57um and the thing is that
- 8:00uh as you can kind of see from the two
- 8:02other pictures
- 8:04if you don't really do something that's
- 8:06challenging at all you just kind of
- 8:08challenge yourself a little bit
- 8:10your body goes okay that that was a
- 8:13little bit of a challenge but it's not
- 8:14enough to justify you know your body
- 8:17um
- 8:18actually adapting and getting stronger
- 8:22and on the other hand if you go crazy
- 8:25and you do like all sorts of really hard
- 8:27work uh that can be an alarm reaction
- 8:32that is too big for your body to
- 8:34properly recover from
- 8:36and so your performance will actually
- 8:39dip compared to you know
- 8:42um if you had just done nothing
- 8:45so the ideal situation is to find this
- 8:47sweet spot where whatever you're doing
- 8:50is challenging you and maybe your sore
- 8:53like the next day or something or just
- 8:55later that day but then you feel like
- 8:57you get stronger from it
- 9:00um
- 9:01and of course
- 9:03over time as you get stronger we'll have
- 9:05to progress your workouts to continue
- 9:07doing this this is why you know
- 9:09something I've seen a lot of times is
- 9:13people who do
- 9:15um
- 9:16YouTube workouts that try and fall like
- 9:17a routine on YouTube
- 9:20and the problem with that is you know uh
- 9:24when you look at a pre-made routine if
- 9:27it's not for you or if it's not saying
- 9:29you can easily adjust to what you're
- 9:31trying to do
- 9:32if it's you know too much then you're
- 9:36going to get a severe alarm reaction and
- 9:38just not really get anything out of it
- 9:40if it's too little you're not going to
- 9:42get an alarm reaction and also not
- 9:45really get anything out of it and so a
- 9:47lot of times if someone sticks to the
- 9:49same routine and there is no way to
- 9:51progress the difficulty of that it's
- 9:52just like okay we're gonna do three sets
- 9:55of 30 squats and then a couple sets of
- 9:58this at these specific reps
- 10:01that doesn't work out well long term
- 10:04because then eventually even if you make
- 10:06progress on it in the beginning
- 10:08if you aren't continuously making it
- 10:11more challenging for yourself
- 10:12you're gonna get stuck and you're not
- 10:15really going to see progress because it
- 10:17won't be as challenging anymore
- 10:19and that's why you know it's very
- 10:20important to always continue to push
- 10:23yourself ideally every single time you
- 10:25go into the gym
- 10:26uh but also there's gonna be times you
- 10:28want to recognize where uh
- 10:31for example stress for this isn't just
- 10:35physical
- 10:37what I mean by that is if you're like
- 10:39mentally stressed that changes
- 10:43um
- 10:44your body isn't great
- 10:46at differentiating that from physical
- 10:50stress it affects you very similarly in
- 10:53terms of athletic performance and so
- 10:57if you look at for example a picture of
- 11:00Obama uh before and after
- 11:03becoming president
- 11:05he looks like he aged you know like 20
- 11:08years
- 11:09in like eight years and it's because
- 11:13it's just when you're very stressed that
- 11:16physically breaks down your your body
- 11:18over time very similarly to exercise but
- 11:22just constantly
- 11:24um and so you're recognize you know if
- 11:27there are times where you don't sleep as
- 11:29well
- 11:30or if your nutrition hasn't been good or
- 11:32if life circumstances have been
- 11:34troubling you you know you're really
- 11:35stressed
- 11:36that can legitimately mean that you are
- 11:41not as strong that day that you're going
- 11:43into the gym
- 11:45and so what's going to be required to
- 11:48get that Progressive overload where you
- 11:50challenge yourself and you get stronger
- 11:52and your muscles get bigger and you get
- 11:54closer to your goal isn't to go I'm
- 11:57stressed I'm not doing as much as I feel
- 11:59like I normally can I'm going to just
- 12:02push through really hard and do extra
- 12:04work to try and punish myself
- 12:06that's not how you should view workouts
- 12:09workouts are something that you know
- 12:11challenges yourself in a healthy way
- 12:14so that you get stronger in the future
- 12:17and at times what challenges you is
- 12:20going to be very different and this is
- 12:21also true for cardio that's definitely a
- 12:24different subject uh for another day in
- 12:27terms of
- 12:30how how that works and some of the
- 12:32benefits of that
- 12:34um
- 12:36but just recognize that you know there's
- 12:39going to be times where something is
- 12:40feeling really challenging and like it's
- 12:42tough on your body you want to take a
- 12:45step back and just relax a bit and just
- 12:47go okay yeah like if this is what's
- 12:50challenging you right now that means
- 12:52that you should be hitting Progressive
- 12:54overall and that is that is ultimately
- 12:55the goal
- 12:58um
- 13:00I'm fine the last thing to consider with
- 13:02this I kind of ironic going to
- 13:05marzipan's question
- 13:07um for what additional exercises that
- 13:09work the same area counts
- 13:12yes the there is one condition to this
- 13:17though
- 13:19um so when you are doing exercises
- 13:24um
- 13:28we want to start with exercises that
- 13:30work either different body parts or that
- 13:34work the largest body part
- 13:37and that are multi-joint before single
- 13:39joint
- 13:40and then you know multiple working
- 13:42multiple muscles before single muscles
- 13:45so what I mean by this is for a lot of
- 13:48you I have you on a three-day you know
- 13:51full body workout plan this means that
- 13:53every day you're going to to some extent
- 13:55hit your legs you're going to hit your
- 13:57glutes you're going to hit your core you
- 13:59might hit your back and upper body if
- 14:01that's something that you desire you
- 14:03know
- 14:04um and we're going to hit every one of
- 14:05those muscle groups
- 14:08so a lot of you you don't have the same
- 14:10level of
- 14:12um
- 14:14additional exercises for each body part
- 14:17compared to what a more advanced lefter
- 14:20might need
- 14:21and this is this is just going to be a a
- 14:24quick why
- 14:26you don't want to copy someone else's
- 14:28workout routine this was my last leg day
- 14:33I can see started out I had a warm up
- 14:35with two sets of twelve for Cedar rows
- 14:38and pull Downs both at 50 pounds
- 14:41then uh two sets of 10 for both just an
- 14:44air squat and a high jump
- 14:46followed by doing you know
- 14:49CB please do not you will [ __ ] die
- 14:53actually you you will literally die
- 14:56followed by
- 14:58um back squat at 185 pounds and then
- 15:02some other goblet squats and other
- 15:05exercises uh at lower weights
- 15:08this is obviously a lot more exercises
- 15:10than all of you have in your workout
- 15:12plans and that's because
- 15:13my legs I've trained them for a lot
- 15:16longer and so it takes more to push them
- 15:19to get stronger and so this is what I'm
- 15:22currently doing this is a strength based
- 15:24routine uh since I'm trying to push for
- 15:27a higher like one or at Max equivalent
- 15:29on squat
- 15:31um from a dude named Jeremy I thought I
- 15:33found over on Twitter that he's like a
- 15:34strength trainer
- 15:37um so this is this is following you know
- 15:39one of his plans that I had done for
- 15:40myself
- 15:41as you can kind of see from it
- 15:43excluding the warm-up because I was just
- 15:46to get your body ready for you know
- 15:48working out obviously
- 15:50I have back squat this is very heavy it
- 15:54works your entire lower body as well as
- 15:56your core and back everything in my body
- 15:58needs to be tight and ready to go to do
- 16:01this and you know it's working every
- 16:04part of my leg I'm moving both the
- 16:07joints at my knee and hip and also you
- 16:12know the joints in like my shoulder and
- 16:14the elbow need to be at least engaged to
- 16:17make sure that I have control the bar as
- 16:19I'm doing each rep
- 16:21than if we have you know goblet squat
- 16:24kind of the same thing but this is a lot
- 16:26lighter uh but then a side lunge a lot
- 16:29less you know core here this is more
- 16:31just to kind of stretch out the legs and
- 16:33it's a lighter weight and in both cases
- 16:35we're going you know down from back
- 16:36squat to a goblet squat to a slide
- 16:41launch
- 16:43then you know we have uh dumbbell step
- 16:45UPS this is basically just a quad
- 16:48workout it doesn't really really hit
- 16:50anything else and so you know even
- 16:53though it is like still using
- 16:56the legs it's not engaging my glutes as
- 16:59much and it's not engaged in the core as
- 17:01much as a basketball one because it's
- 17:04it's a lot lighter and it's more of just
- 17:06that upward pushing motion of your quad
- 17:10um high jumps gets into some athletic
- 17:13training principles
- 17:15um of why that's in there
- 17:17uh and then of course at the ends
- 17:20I have calf raises and uh hanging knee
- 17:24races and Russian Twists are there as
- 17:26like ab exercises both of those are much
- 17:29smaller muscles than you know the
- 17:31entirety of my legs and while I'm doing
- 17:34both ab exercises and you know calf
- 17:37raises
- 17:38uh that doesn't really work other
- 17:41muscles
- 17:42now the problem
- 17:45that you you might see if you try and
- 17:47make your own workout routine for
- 17:48example uh is if let's say we reversed
- 17:51the order of this and that this kind of
- 17:53illustrates why this order is important
- 17:56so let's say I start out with you know
- 17:58hanging erases okay so I tire out my
- 18:01core then I go do calf raises I tire out
- 18:04my calves
- 18:05then I do step UPS I kind of tire up my
- 18:08quads but I'm not really sure how much
- 18:10to at this point maybe and then I go to
- 18:13a heavy back squat
- 18:15at this point I've tired up my core
- 18:17which for a back squat you you want to
- 18:19keep that tight as you get into higher
- 18:21weight to make sure that you're not
- 18:22going to hurt yourself
- 18:24um I'm tired of my quads you know a
- 18:27little bit and I'm tired of my calves so
- 18:29I don't know what's actually going to
- 18:32fail first whereas you know if I do a
- 18:37back squat normally
- 18:38depending on where I feel that left or
- 18:41where I'm feeling it like it's
- 18:41challenging the most I can probably tell
- 18:44okay this is like the section of my
- 18:46lower body that is the weakest and that
- 18:49that needs to get stronger right now
- 18:51that needs to get bigger
- 18:53um
- 18:54but if you you know wear out your core
- 18:56first and then try and do that
- 18:59that can cause problems where maybe your
- 19:02core fails
- 19:04before everything else
- 19:06even though your core normally
- 19:09shouldn't be the limiting factor and
- 19:11that means that you know if you're
- 19:13trying to work your legs with a back
- 19:16squat
- 19:17and you do abs right beforehand
- 19:20and then you have to stop because you're
- 19:22you're like losing strength in your core
- 19:24and you're not able to maintain good
- 19:26form well then you're not pushing the
- 19:28muscles that you're trying to as hard as
- 19:31you can because you work some another
- 19:33smaller muscle beforehand
- 19:35and the same goes with you know joints I
- 19:39think this is a little bit more
- 19:40applicable for
- 19:42upper body exercises personally
- 19:46um but like for example you would want
- 19:48to do a bench press before you do a like
- 19:54bicep curl
- 19:56for the same reason of you know your
- 19:58bench press requires multiple joints and
- 20:02so if there's going to be you know one
- 20:04of those is the point that's causing a
- 20:06challenge for you where you need to get
- 20:08stronger if you arbitrarily tire out
- 20:12um
- 20:12you know another section of your arm
- 20:15before doing that you may fail in that
- 20:20section of your arm instead of what's
- 20:21actually the weakest section you know
- 20:23that that would have needed to get
- 20:25stronger from doing a bench press versus
- 20:27you know in like how this workout is
- 20:30laid out we have our back squat for me
- 20:32which is working the entire lower body
- 20:35and then individual exercises for like
- 20:39each section of a legs and core to make
- 20:42sure that I'm I'm making all of that
- 20:44progressively stronger
- 20:46um so that each section of my legs like
- 20:49everything that goes into a back squat
- 20:51is going to get stronger
- 20:54um and I'm also you know still doing a
- 20:55basketball still pushing myself in total
- 20:58there are some other reasons why that's
- 21:00important but some of those I don't
- 21:03think can lead to focus on
- 21:04as much
- 21:06um but the big thing is definitely just
- 21:07always make sure that you can maintain
- 21:09good form
- 21:11and always make sure that like when I've
- 21:13written the workout programs for you A
- 21:15lot of times it doesn't matter as much
- 21:19um because for most of you you're doing
- 21:21a whole body workout where it's like
- 21:23a upper body exercise a leg exercise a
- 21:27core exercise a back exercise and you
- 21:29can kind of screw up the order of those
- 21:30a little bit more
- 21:31but if you have multiple
- 21:35um
- 21:35exercises that use the same body part
- 21:38please do them the harder that I put
- 21:41them in your workout sheet they are in
- 21:43that order for a good reason as you you
- 21:45know continue progressing with exercises
- 21:49you're going to need to challenge things
- 21:52a bit more
- 21:53and so you know when you're a beginner
- 21:55like you are right now uh that's why I
- 21:58think that doing a three-day workout
- 22:01plan
- 22:02is probably ideal uh
- 22:06because that gives you as much time as
- 22:08possible between
- 22:11workouts to recover
- 22:14while also you know letting you work
- 22:18everything so
- 22:20for example another popular three-day
- 22:23split is called Push Pull likes which is
- 22:27basically a push is like a bench press
- 22:30motion where you're like pushing
- 22:32something away from your body forwards
- 22:34or like up over like
- 22:37uh uh above your head like a you know
- 22:40single work your shoulders
- 22:42pulling is most
- 22:45motions that work your back and then
- 22:47legs is
- 22:50pretty self-explanatory
- 22:53people will sometimes double that up and
- 22:56do two push-pull legs in a week and be
- 22:59working out six times per week which
- 23:01means that they'll be lurking their legs
- 23:03twice
- 23:05their you know arms and their ability to
- 23:08and like their chest and stuff twice
- 23:10and they're back twice
- 23:14versus if you were doing a three-day
- 23:16full body program you are able to work
- 23:19out
- 23:20all of those sections
- 23:22three times per week
- 23:24and do it in half as many days so that
- 23:27means less time traveling to the gym
- 23:29less time in total in the gym uh but of
- 23:33course you know this I think makes the
- 23:36most sense especially when starting out
- 23:38because you don't need to push yourself
- 23:40as hard for each muscle to see growth as
- 23:43you mentioned earlier you know
- 23:46um so one exercise
- 23:50for a couple sets really pushing
- 23:52yourself maybe all you need for six to
- 23:5612 months to make consistent progress
- 23:59week after week
- 24:00in terms of both strength and muscle
- 24:03gains
- 24:05versus you know it as you hit kind of
- 24:08like six months and Beyond and like 12
- 24:10months and Beyond of consistently doing
- 24:12these workouts
- 24:13that's where it may make more sense to
- 24:15include a lot more
- 24:18you know exercises for individual body
- 24:21parts
- 24:22but that are meant to specialize for you
- 24:25know like doing a bench press and then a
- 24:27bicep curl
- 24:28where it's like okay you know we want to
- 24:30make sure that we aren't just doing a
- 24:32bench press but also working the
- 24:33individual muscles
- 24:35that make up that motion
- 24:38um and your upper body to train them all
- 24:42but starting out
- 24:44to make progress you need less stimulus
- 24:46less Challenge and so you don't have to
- 24:50do that and you can just pack everything
- 24:52into three days and still have like an
- 24:55hour or hour and a half long workout uh
- 24:57that's going to get your progress for
- 24:59everything so that's
- 25:01quite generally
- 25:03I try and stick to three day workouts
- 25:05for people and I can or you know one or
- 25:08two day workouts uh if you have
- 25:11challenges for time or you're just gonna
- 25:13into it or other things like that
- 25:15yeah there there are definitely a lot of
- 25:17different ways to exercise
- 25:20um I I think the other thing I should
- 25:23mention is just as a reference for body
- 25:26weight exercises
- 25:28like I'll just use the the body weight
- 25:30guide to a big butt as a good example
- 25:31because you all have have the access to
- 25:33this but you know if first you
- 25:39start off and you have like an air squat
- 25:41that's basically you know your entire
- 25:43upper body but it's on both legs
- 25:48then you move to a like split squat
- 25:51where it's like okay you know this is a
- 25:54little bit closer to a lunge
- 25:58um and so it's most of your body weight
- 26:00is on one leg
- 26:02versus then going to like a single leg
- 26:04squat like you know a shrimp squat or a
- 26:07pistol squat
- 26:09um
- 26:10and that is you know now the entirety of
- 26:13your body weight is on one leg
- 26:17so yeah you kind of have to you know
- 26:19push uh
- 26:22do twice as many reps because you're
- 26:24doing
- 26:26you have to do two sets one for each leg
- 26:29to even things out
- 26:31um but that's going to make it so that
- 26:33every time that
- 26:35you do that exercise
- 26:39there it's gonna be a lot more
- 26:41challenging for like having a push and
- 26:43that means that hey you know
- 26:45if you are getting stronger you don't
- 26:48feel like you can challenge yourself
- 26:49with body weight squats anymore
- 26:52and then try you know split squats or
- 26:56bulgarians plus cop where you're slowly
- 26:58moving more of your body weight onto one
- 27:01limb at a time to in to make that more
- 27:04challenging and that's how progression
- 27:06happens
- 27:07um but of course you know for body
- 27:09weight exercises this also generally
- 27:12means that
- 27:15it's pretty multiplicative of your body
- 27:18weight you know if you weigh 300 pounds
- 27:21uh you probably don't need single leg
- 27:24squats
- 27:25for a very long time
- 27:28if you weigh a hundred pounds you might
- 27:30be able to start doing a single leg
- 27:32squat almost right away
- 27:34you know
- 27:36um just because there's that much less
- 27:38body weight that you have to push and
- 27:40that's your former resistance and that's
- 27:42you know always worth considering the
- 27:45same goes for you know
- 27:47um
- 27:48like push-ups or like back exercises as
- 27:52well you know if you do a push-up on the
- 27:56ground
- 27:57that's I believe that is equivalent to
- 28:01bench pressing about a third of your
- 28:03weight so you know if you find someone
- 28:05where they weigh 150 pounds okay them
- 28:09doing a push-up is a buttercover to
- 28:11benching to bench pressing like 50
- 28:13pounds one time or like a you know
- 28:16having two 25 pound dumbbells and
- 28:19pushing those
- 28:20uh but then if you lose weight or gain
- 28:24weight that becomes more challenging but
- 28:26of course the other thing is you know if
- 28:28you change the angle or find other ways
- 28:30to just decrease how much of your body
- 28:33is weighing down
- 28:34on you know whatever muscle is being
- 28:39used
- 28:41that's gonna change the challenge so if
- 28:43you're you know doing a handstand
- 28:44push-up your entire body weight is on
- 28:47top of your arms that is literally a
- 28:49equivalent to you know being able to
- 28:52bench press your body weight plus the
- 28:55challenge of you know staying balanced
- 28:58while doing that
- 29:00definitely tricky you know
- 29:02um or
- 29:03if someone's like I can't do a push-up
- 29:06what they really mean is they can't do a
- 29:08bench press for a third of their weight
- 29:10and that's like okay then
- 29:13there's probably a smaller amount of
- 29:15weight though that you can do a push up
- 29:17for so what if you do it on your knees
- 29:20that might you know decrease the tpe
- 29:22like a fourth or a fifth of your body
- 29:24weight and maybe you can do more of
- 29:25those or what if you do it and you're
- 29:28doing push-ups on an elevated surface
- 29:30you're
- 29:31like instead of you know being flat
- 29:33against the ground you're doing it at
- 29:35like 45 degrees or against a wall those
- 29:39are going to make it a lot easier to do
- 29:41because you're effectively pushing less
- 29:44weight
- 29:45just by having less of your body weight
- 29:47be underneath where you're trying to use
- 29:50the muscles for
- 29:53um
- 29:53and of course
- 29:55with calisthenics and body with
- 29:57exercises stuff gets really
- 30:00really complicated uh when you get to
- 30:03the advanced things
- 30:05um because people start getting
- 30:06gymnastic rings and
- 30:08uh like
- 30:10weighted vests and other things to
- 30:13increase the weight and allow for a lot
- 30:16of just absurdly difficult exercises
- 30:20um
- 30:22and it's
- 30:24it's it's a kind of its own thing uh but
- 30:27I definitely think that's why
- 30:30you know I think personally
- 30:32for someone who is overweight for
- 30:35example if you're 300 pounds
- 30:37I think that it can be easier to go to
- 30:41the gym than doing bodyweight exercises
- 30:44at certain points because you know let's
- 30:47say you want to do
- 30:49um a pull-up
- 30:52if we get you a resistance bands we can
- 30:55still do pulling motions that are gonna
- 30:57work your back but
- 31:00you probably just have to lose a lot of
- 31:02weight before doing a pull-up is even a
- 31:04possibility
- 31:05and there are some you know exercises
- 31:08that we can do to try and work towards
- 31:10doing a pull-up like what's called a
- 31:12negative where you start at the top of a
- 31:15pull-up and like you get yourself there
- 31:17and then you try and slow down your
- 31:19descent to the bottom of the pull-up
- 31:21and that's still you know working the
- 31:23same muscles but if you are so heavy
- 31:25that you can't even slow that down at
- 31:27all
- 31:28then what might make a lot more sense is
- 31:30just okay let's go to the gym and get
- 31:33one of those pull-up machines where you
- 31:35can just get a supportive bar underneath
- 31:38you that pushes you up and then select
- 31:41how much weight we're going to take off
- 31:43and that way you know you're able to go
- 31:44okay I can't do a pull-up of my body
- 31:47weight
- 31:48but I can do it for my body weight minus
- 31:5250 pounds or minus 100 pounds and then
- 31:56that makes it easier or you know
- 31:59doing something more similar to
- 32:01grabbing resistance bands and that would
- 32:03be like a cable machine at the gym I'll
- 32:06have to do you know
- 32:08some other sort of exercise like that or
- 32:10just using dumbbells or a barbell to to
- 32:12pull towards your body in some way and
- 32:15then you can just add weight to that
- 32:17versus just having your body weight and
- 32:19going well I can't do this so I don't
- 32:21know I don't know what I can do that's
- 32:23where that's where rapes come in I think
- 32:25definitely is just that
- 32:28you can't easily change your body weight
- 32:32uh on short notice that takes a while
- 32:36but you can change your weights on short
- 32:38notice
- 32:39a bit more rambly than I expect this to
- 32:41be but I think that covers about
- 32:43everything that I wanted to make sure to
- 32:45hit for today
- 32:47um so just going to move to q a
