When I added 15 lbs of muscle mass through barbell stuff, I lost my leverages to do the pistol squat and handstand pushup, as well as being less mobile in the lats. The linkages for full gymnastic bridges and handstands also suffered and I have to earn those leverages back when the muscles got ahead of the tendons. This was a good reminder to keep an eye on relative strength alongside the absolute.
I’m 39 and have been lifting seriously since my early 20’s what I realised after so many years of experience is that I wasted probably about 12 to 15 years of gains. A lot of it was that I couldn’t get stronger in stuff I’d been doing for years because of weaknesses in neglected areas. What I say is don’t underestimate mobility and stability exercises. I’m finally working on weaknesses that I neglected for years and found how much easier a lot of lifts have become that I used to struggle with because of imbalances in my body from neglecting my weak stabler muscles.
I watched this during my workout today! Thank you, Daniel. You always so gracefully facilitate these interviews, and the quality of conversation is always so good. Thank you to Bill for sharing your wisdom. I'm almost 35, and really began taking my health seriously again the past couple years. Daniel has been a huge source of reassurance, problem solving, and inspiration. Particularly after years of working on my feet and the injuries that stack up through life. I really valued hearing from someone in his 50s, and I found a lot of affirmation for how I do things-- taking it slow, listening, the fact that sometimes you just need 15 min until that wrist is ready but you're not ready til you're ready! Also, Bill. Thank you for speaking to alleviating TMJ and neck/head pain. I realized a couple years ago I held so much tension in my throat, I had horrific tmj, and it often made me lose my voice. I'm adding in your recommendations! I'm glad Bill gave such high regards to Daniel. It was nice to see and hear, as a viewer, and praise be to quality free materials on the internet!! Cheers 🩵✌️
Really enjoyed this. Going to start doing the neck curls - just tried ten reps and it feels great. I get tension headaches and I am convinced that the vast majority of them for all people comes from a weak neck and/or a stiff upper back. A stiff upper back forces your neck into bad angles because it has to do most of the moving.
I have learned so freaking much from this video that’ll have to watch it again. Thank you for all your advice about working out the center of your body
Love Bill! I too grew up with the plastic coated concrete wights. In my wet, leaky teen-era basement gym, the weights would absorb this moisture and the plastic would crack. Weed? Def a performance enhancer! Re: calisthenics being an honesty reset, so true! At 65 it took me 5 years to get there. Can do good full ROM on ATG goblet squats and dips but still chasing 10+ "perfect" reps with pull-ups. Great vid Daniel!
What I do for my neck, because I get severe motion sickness, is to take a band and tie it to a post. I then put the other end around my head and walk away from the post. Works great.
When you train the front of your neck. Hold your tongue against the roof of the mouth. Feel the difference :) ( Tip from Tyson when he was in his prime doing neck training ) There are loads of little things in training that are so important but usually forgotten.
he's impressive for sure but it's completely naive to think at this age, being this lean, having this strength that he's natural. It's good old TRT (or some other compounds). Doesn't take away his dedication but I don't like people getting false expectations from this guy
30:20, doing really slow reps is also a way to make skills harder, like Michal Dobosz or Matteo Spinnazola are doing with really slow muscle up (over 1 min, bar, rings...). I have tried and it is so hard.
Isometrics are absolute gold for strength and neurological programming. Bruce lee was 100% right about them and probably why he was so unbelievably strong. I wish i had not fractured my hand skateboarding or i would probably still be crushing 200 pound hand grippers like it was nothing. There is something refreshing about not training like everyone else is. Calisthenics are where its at.
much of what I heard here are heavily influenced from martial arts. This is really good top notch stuff he's sharing here peeps I would save/download this and learn from it if I were you
Bill makes so many great points about connecting the neck and jaw, but it’s not the masseter and neck muscles that are key, it’s the tongue! Craniofacial development is dependent upon tongue posture and function as primary, then comes the connecting pieces he’s named here. Dr. Mew and Orthotropics have discovered this unique connection.
Love this channel forever. Really like Bill too. I would say that I find the banner at the bottom distracting. The color doesn't help. Idk if it needs to be that big or opaque or in that place. I would like chapter titles, but perhaps they fade out after a bit?
Gymnasts , calisthenics , bodyweight training , isometric , yoga , boxing training, all were , the info was out there , . Yes maybe not promoted as much as bodybuilding was and still is ..
Train calisthenics for 3 years. Then go in a gym and see what you can bench . You will freak out with how much you can do. And the people in the gym will trip seeing a slender dude rocking what the meat heads are doing.
it's really irrelevant to talk about workouts and training if your guests are on anabolic steroids. You should at least mention it in your intro if your guests take exogenous hormones, specially for a calisthenics channel.

He's absolutely right about the BRUCE, we would play his videos while we were sparing, he was a great motivation and still 👏 is
Second what maeda said about your channel giving more quality content for free than any other chanel! Keep it up, its definitely appreciated 👏💪👏

I’ve only been hooked up to Bill’s stuff for 6 months good to see Fitness FAQ’s is spreading the word.
Didn't expect to listen through all of that, but I did and I'm glad. That was interesting, thanks.

one of the best natural bodybuilder
Is TRT considered natural in today's world?
he's impressive for sure but it's completely naive to think at this age, being this lean, having this strength that he's natural. It's good old TRT (or some other compounds). Doesn't take away his dedication but I don't like people getting false expectations from this guy
@@horrispeemactittyyep. Def TRt
Stop it mate...
@@horrispeemactittyYou base this opinion on your expertise in ?
That was very informative and inspiring. Thank you both for what you’ve done and continue to do for me. I appreciate it!
100% my Coaching of Elite Water polo players at Olympic levels, started inspired by Bruce Lee 1in punch and fist of fury work against heavy bags.
Quality over quantity!
Awesome interview, Daniel.
Great interview @daniel, excited to to the ugly work on this calisthenics journey
Thanks again my brother more great stuff.
I love your content man. Much appreciated.
Bill Maeda is a role model
Brought on the GOAT!

All the Love Respect & Prostrations 🙏🏽❤️🔥
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
Great interview Daniel 👍 next up,Matt from Red Delta Project!?
Respect for His Fitness 😮
Finally a gentleman my age .
Love the interview with bill. But I really miss the snippets of videos of them working out while you interview
I still have those dumbbells I bought back in 1979. I never cracked mine. I guess I wasn't working hard enough. 😊
Mahalo nui loa bil and dan💪🏾 both strong hammahs. Almost to my phase 3 in Body by rings
Brice Lee the idol What a icon. 61 and I’m still looking to Bruce. Functional greatness🤩
Cossacks are the best exercise progression to Pistol squats
I unlocked Pistol Squats by doing them on a hack squat machine. Slowly added weight until I could do them without the aid of the machine.
I did normal one leg squats, if you can't do them then do atg split squats

Thanks a lot for such a great podcast ☺️. It was a valuable talk and I learned a lot 😁
Someone drop some key takeaways from this...
Great interview
Bill Maeda!!! Dudeeee he is awesome
Wow, my first weight set was jc penny plastic cement set and a small tubular bench.
Maeda, what a name to have for a jiu jitsu practitioner! Wonder if he’s related to Mitsuyo.
I agree Bruce Lee don't get the credit for a lot of things and he influenced most of us in the 70's.
Shout out to the Inosanto Academy.
Love this channel forever. Really like Bill too. I would say that I find the banner at the bottom distracting. The color doesn't help. Idk if it needs to be that big or opaque or in that place. I would like chapter titles, but perhaps they fade out after a bit?
Very useful knowledge.
You got Bill Maeda on? Awesome. 😎
what a podcast💯🙌
Gymnasts , calisthenics , bodyweight training , isometric , yoga , boxing training, all were , the info was out there , . Yes maybe not promoted as much as bodybuilding was and still is ..
Well said!
The interview I was waiting for
"Smoke a little weed and hit the weight room" instantly my favorite trainer.
You have to earn the millimeter, that's some wisdom.
loved the ego stuff!!
Thanks Teacher ❤
Awesome thank you
Old Dinosaur is fit
Thank you so much my for very good explanation thank you.
“When I was a kid everything was tougher” sounds funny out of context
Does anyone know how to make the equipment Maeda uses for the figure 8s?
I had those plastic concrete weights…😄
I remember those plastic weights would crack and sand would pour out😅😂😅😂😅😊
"old farts like me remember this"
me: age 30: i guess i'm an old fart now
but those were stupidly good weights
The guy is all over the place, i can’t watch him. Still great channel 👍.
without title it is to limit its influence
Supreme physique
don't know why. i didnt expect him to speak english so well
Isn't he American lol?
because this is 2023 not 1823.
@@dysutopia4238unless you’re from cali, hawaii or anywhere west coast related, you probably don’t know many asians his age that aren’t immigrants.

first words... Bruce Lee. haha!!!
Who named it calisthenics? Half my friends don’t know what I’m saying 😂
Origins: Greek
Talking about Bruce Lee before start the interview.
Wow.
Deltoids not lats
Eat Clen, Tren hard, Anavar give up.
Why doesn't automatic translation work on your videos?
@17:23, i wish 😢
? ? ?
😀 😃
Train calisthenics for 3 years. Then go in a gym and see what you can bench . You will freak out with how much you can do. And the people in the gym will trip seeing a slender dude rocking what the meat heads are doing.
Is he natty?
Bruce lee was on steroids too lol...😂
TRT
Natural 🤣🤣🤣
How old is this guy 👀
54
55
he is clearly on steroids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daniel stop hosting those TRT guys!!!!!!
😂
This is a fitness podcast what do you expect, more than half of them have taken stuff get over it lol
@@pilot.wav_theory you got a point there
omg, TRT! that is equivalent to first degree murder
oh. I just noticed. all this troll comments is this

He consumes steroids?
@@Ulises1818 The host and the guest should give us the answer.
Why would he mention if he’s on drugs or not if he’s natural?
Anyproof?

That was eye opening, thanks!
