- 0:00If you think you need a whole arsenal
- 0:02of exercises to build big muscles,
- 0:04you're wrong. Join me today for a
- 0:06workout featuring five exercises that,
- 0:08in my opinion, build muscle better than
- 0:10traditional weightlifting. If you don't
- 0:13feel your muscles any better after this
- 0:15workout than after your last gym
- 0:17workout, leave a comment, and for every
- 0:19like on this comment, I'll cycle 1 km.
- 0:22, I'm cycling. But there's one
- 0:26condition: you have to do the entire
- 0:27workout with me, because that last
- 0:29exercise will kill you. So let's get
- 0:32started. And before you even say, Tomek
- 0:41, I can't do pull-ups, don't scroll,
- 0:43I'll show you how to learn that first
- 0:44pull-up in just a minute. But first, I
- 0:48want you to see why pull-ups are even
- 0:50worth doing. Pull-ups engage more than
- 0:53just your back. They also work your
- 0:55biceps, forearms, rear delts, abs, and,
- 0:58most importantly, you build grip
- 1:00strength. It's one of the most
- 1:03comprehensive exercises for the entire
- 1:05upper body. Most of you still haven't
- 1:08subscribed to my channel. It takes two
- 1:11seconds, and it really motivates me to
- 1:13create even better content, so watch
- 1:15this. How do you learn to pull up on a
- 1:18pull-up bar? Step one: free-hang for 30
- 1:21to 60 seconds. Once you master this,
- 1:25you can move on. Step two: negatives.
- 1:29If the hang is no longer a problem, try
- 1:31to get on the bar and lower yourself as
- 1:33slowly as possible. This is the best
- 1:36exercise for building strength and for
- 1:38pull-ups. Step three will be your first
- 1:42pull-up. If you've been doing these
- 1:45negatives for a few weeks, you're
- 1:47probably already capable of one pull-up
- 1:49. And when you get to 8-10 full
- 1:53pull-ups, you can add a vest as weight
- 1:55to further stimulate progress. And now
- 1:59the most common mistake. Most people
- 2:01pull with their arms when doing
- 2:03pull-ups, when you should activate your
- 2:05back first. So, when hanging from a
- 2:08pull-up bar, first pull your shoulder
- 2:10blades down, and only then start the
- 2:12pull-up movement. You'll see what a
- 2:15dramatic difference it makes and how
- 2:16much stronger your back feels. One more
- 2:24tip: not the quantity, but the quality
- 2:26of the reps. Remember, if you're going
- 2:30to swing at the end of your final
- 2:31movements, it's better to do two fewer,
- 2:33because five quality reps are better
- 2:35than 10 swings, and they build muscle
- 2:37better. Now we move on to the second
- 2:41exercise: push-ups on parallettes. And
- 2:43most people will tell you that push-ups
- 2:45are only good for beginners. If you
- 2:47want to build a really big chest, you
- 2:49need to add weight to the bar. And
- 2:52that's one of the biggest myths I've
- 2:54heard, because I'm about to show you
- 2:55how just a few centimeters of height
- 2:57can dramatically change the intensity
- 2:59of this exercise and how to develop
- 3:00your chest in a great way. There's
- 3:08another advantage: during the press,
- 3:10the shoulder blades are locked. They
- 3:13move naturally here. So if you've ever
- 3:15had shoulder pain from pressing, you
- 3:17won't have that problem here. So if you
- 3:20think you need to add more weight to
- 3:21the bar, you're wrong. And remember,
- 3:31don't race to the number of reps. Go as
- 3:34low as you can. Hold for a second at
- 3:37the bottom, and then dynamically go
- 3:39back up. And if you're doing the full
- 3:4315 reps, you don't need to change the
- 3:44exercise. You can also add a vest. And
- 3:57if you don't have a vest, you can use
- 3:59traditional weights. But remember,
- 4:02before adding weights, do a few full
- 4:04reps, full hold, and full range of
- 4:06motion. Exercise three, the elevated
- 4:10step-up. And at first, you'll probably
- 4:13think it's like stepping onto a box,
- 4:14and that's why people don't use the
- 4:16potential of this exercise. They think
- 4:19you need a barbell and heavy squats to
- 4:21build legs. And I'll show you why I've
- 4:23been coming back to this exercise for
- 4:25years. The step-up engages practically
- 4:35the entire leg. It works the quadriceps
- 4:37, hamstrings, and glutes. But there's
- 4:41one more thing: it evens out imbalances
- 4:43because you're also working on
- 4:44stability and strength, since you do it
- 4:46with both legs. The most common mistake
- 4:58: the strength of your leg should do
- 5:00all the work, and we shouldn't push off
- 5:02. It shouldn't look like we're pushing
- 5:05off and rebounding with the power of
- 5:06the push-off, but with force. Shift
- 5:09your body weight onto the leg that's
- 5:11supposed to be working and push off
- 5:12with force. And you'll see how powerful
- 5:15your muscles will be, right? Yes. If
- 5:27you've done this exercise correctly,
- 5:29your legs should be really working, and
- 5:31that's the point. You don't need to add
- 5:34heavy weights right away. First, master
- 5:36full control of the movement. And when
- 5:39your own bodyweight stops being a
- 5:41challenge, you can add either a vest or
- 5:42weights again. Now for the exercise
- 5:50that most people barely do at all, and
- 5:52then they're surprised that their
- 5:54shoulders hurt, their backs are rounded
- 5:55, and they can't do a single pull-up.
- 5:59If you're benching or doing a lot of
- 6:00push-ups, this is probably the exercise
- 6:02you're missing. And I'll show you why
- 6:14this exercise doesn't just build your
- 6:15back. Australian pull-ups also
- 6:18strengthen your shoulder blades, rear
- 6:20delts, and entire core. And if you
- 6:23spend a lot of time sitting at a
- 6:24computer, this is an exercise you
- 6:26should definitely repeat more often.
- 6:38The most common mistake: people pull
- 6:39themselves straight away with just
- 6:41their arms, when you should start
- 6:43exactly the same way as with pull-ups.
- 6:45First, squeeze your shoulder blades
- 6:47together, then bend your elbows.
- 6:49Suddenly, you'll find that your back is
- 6:51working, not just your biceps. If this
- 6:55exercise seems too easy, lower the bar,
- 6:58place your legs on a platform, or put
- 7:00on a weighted vest. You don't have to
- 7:02change the exercise, just increase its
- 7:04difficulty. That's why I love
- 7:06calisthenics so much. In one move, you
- 7:09can train from beginner to truly
- 7:11advanced. And there's only one exercise
- 7:15left, and it has the worst reputation,
- 7:17but it's my favorite. And then there
- 7:23are the dips. Most people think dips
- 7:25damage shoulders. Let me put it another
- 7:27way: dips don't damage shoulders. Poor
- 7:30technique damages shoulders. And I'll
- 7:33show you how you should do them. If
- 7:43you're just starting out, don't go too
- 7:44deep. A 90-degree angle at the elbow
- 7:47and shoulder is perfectly sufficient.
- 7:51Focus on keeping your shoulders tight
- 7:53and stable to avoid injury. The most
- 8:10common mistake is collapsing in the
- 8:12shoulders. See the difference. Pull
- 8:15your shoulders down. Push your chest
- 8:17slightly forward. Control every inch of
- 8:20the movement, and you'll immediately
- 8:21feel that you're working your chest and
- 8:23triceps, not just your shoulders. So,
- 8:27if you did the entire workout with me,
- 8:29I'm really curious if you still think
- 8:31you need a barbell to build big muscles
- 8:33. We went through five exercises,
- 8:36trained practically the entire body,
- 8:37and used only our own bodyweight and
- 8:39simple equipment. I'm not saying
- 8:42weights are bad. I use them myself, but
- 8:45I believe most people would build a
- 8:46better physique if they first learned
- 8:48to control their own body perfectly.
- 8:51Now back to our point. If you actually
- 8:54did the entire workout and didn't feel
- 8:56any more muscular than after your last
- 8:58workout, tell me in the comments, and
- 9:00for every like on your comment, I'll
- 9:01cycle a kilometer. And if you were
- 9:04pleasantly surprised, tell me which
- 9:06exercise was the most challenging for
- 9:08you. If you want more workouts like
- 9:11this, subscribe, because on this
- 9:12channel I mainly show how to build
- 9:14strength and muscle using your own body
- 9:16.
